Desai Capital Management (“DCM”) uses a fundamental-based, value-oriented investment strategy drawing on influences such as Buffett, Graham, Klarman, and Marks. Our approach is designed to maximize investor returns & preserve capital over the long run regardless of overall market direction, and has consistently created alpha since Fund inception. DCM follows a rigorous & prudent investment process which emphasizes company-specific, bottom-up, fundamental equity research and also leverages the founder’s macroeconomic expertise to identify attractive investment opportunities. By investing in companies trading at a discount to their intrinsic value, we seek to offer substantial, consistent, and sustainable capital appreciation, while also creating a margin of safety to mitigate downside risk and preserve capital over a long-term investment horizon. We aim to maximize performance over all periods & market conditions and remain vigilant of potential short-term effects on the portfolio composition at all times, but emphasize a prudent, consistent long-term investment perspective and consider short-term fluctuations to be less meaningful than long-term performance. Our investment strategy is focused primarily on large cap and mid cap equities, with typical portfolio allocations divided among 15-20 stocks between 5% and 15% each. We hope to find attractive investment opportunities in any market, but may hold a portion of the portfolio in cash when prudent. The majority of our position in a given company will be through common stock, but we may utilize options to complement our position when they present a better risk/reward investment profile, and have not historically used any other sort of leverage. While long-biased, DCM may selectively enter short positions via attractively priced long-term put options (to limit downside and manage risk) when we identify companies whose market price reflects a substantial disconnect from their fundamental intrinsic value.
