Abakkus Flexi Cap Fund – Investment Strategy, Objective & Key Details

Abakkus, founded by renowned fund manager Sunil Singhania, has built a reputation for generating alpha through disciplined, research-driven equity investing.

What is Flexi Cap Fund?

Flexi Cap Fund

A Flexicap Fund is a category of equity mutual fund that can invest in
companies across the spectrum of market capitalization, meaning that
the fund manager can invest in the universe of large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks.
In contrast, multi-cap funds have fixed parameters for allocation to different market
capitalizations,
while the allocation decision can be made by the fund manager in
flexicap based on prevailing market conditions.

Flexibility allows this fund type to:

  1. Capture opportunities across market cycles
  2. Balance growth potential with stability
  3. Reduce the risk of over-exposure to a single market cap

  3. Capital Distribution- Fair to minority shareholders

Earnings

  1. Quality of earnings vs reported numbers
  2. Actual earnings vs expected
  3. Cyclical vs Structural earnings
  4. Companies that can double profits in 4 years or less or where EV/ EBITDA can halve in four years

Events/ Trends

  1. Stock movement because of events
  2. Can be buy or sell opportunity
  3. Events on the horizon
  4. Disruptive trends/ new themes

Timing

  1. What is the price discounting
  2. Time frame of investment
  3. Mean reversion
  4. Good company is not necessarily a good investment if price is not right

Structural

  1. Size of the opportunity
  2. Competitive Positioning
  3. Consistent growth in profits

Risk Mitigation Framework

Company Risk

The best way to handle company risk is by knowing in-depth
details about what you own and why you own it. Our
uncompromised focus on balance sheet and
numbers will help us in mitigating the company risk

Valuation Risk

While there is no right or wrong valuation number,
we are wary of overpaying. We maintain strict discipline on this

Market Risk

We would be focusing more on the portfolios rather
than trying the futile guess over where markets
are headed. While we would be monitoring the
market, we believe the best way to handle market
risk is by being patient

Concentration Risk

Endeavor to have adequately diversified
portfolio across sectors and stocks

Liquidity Risk

In Mid and Small Cap investing liquidity can be a near-term risk. Our
portfolios are designed to take care of this, and we would
urge investors to factor a 3–5-year time horizon
