Investment Philosophy

We follow a long term passive investing strategy with substantial exposure to the US and Indian equity markets. We use the core principles of modern portfolio theory to build the portfolio.

Diversification plays a crucial role in our allocation

We incorporate assets with low correlation in our portfolio to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns and refrain from diversification just for the sake of covering all possible asset classes. For instance, we do not see any meaningful value-added when European equities are added to US equities since both these asset classes have a similar risk profile and are highly correlated. However, a combination of the US market assets and Indian market assets, which are less correlated, might yield superior risk-adjusted returns.

We don’t believe in frequent rebalancing

We believe frequent rebalancing cuts down on winners and adds to losers. However, we will review the portfolio annually for rebalancing, or in case the portfolio allocation to a particular asset class exceeds our threshold. Our threshold is higher than most other Robo advisors and thus reduces frequent churning ofthe portfolio.

We take currency exposure into account

We take into consideration the user’s underlying currency exposure and adjust the allocation across the United States and India. We believe we as advisors are in a better position to assess the risk and recommend the ideal portfolio to our client and so do not give the client the option to tweak the portfolio. The whole purpose of using a Robo advisor is defeated if it involves frequent human intervention as one of the significant advantages of using a Robo advisor is that it eliminates all behavioural biases in the process of investing.
