Buy Right. Sit Tight


Indias only 100% equity fund house with a defined investing philosophy. A highly differentiated asset management company, our endeavor is to offer focused mutual funds, PMS and AIF strategies based on our core competence of equity research and investing. We inherit the equity expertise from our sponsor, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited which has over 35 years of experience led by our founder and thought leader - Raamdeo Agrawal. Through his series of 27 Annual Wealth Creation Studies, our distinct investment philosophy has evolved and is being continuously refined with the application, insights and practical learnings of our experienced equity investment and research team.


Our equity offerings have been riding on our investment philosophy, Buy Right : Sit Tight where Buy Right means buying high quality growth oriented companies at a fair price and Sit Tight means staying invested in them over a long time to realize the full growth potential of the underlying business. Coupled with a ‘Buy and Hold’ strategy, we endeavor to manage portfolios with around 20-25 high conviction holdings and low portfolio churn.

Buy Right Stock Characteristics

  • ‘Q’uality denotes quality of the business and management.

  • ‘G’rowth denotes growth in earnings and sustained RoE.

  • ‘L’ongevity denotes longevity of the competitive advantage or economic moat of the business.

  • ‘P’rice denotes our approach of buying a good business for a fair price rather than buying a fair business for a good price.


Sit Tight Approach

  • Buy and Hold : We are strictly buy and hold investors and believe that picking the right business needs skill and holding onto these businesses to enable our investors to benefit from the entire growth cycle, needs even more skill.

  • Focus : Our portfolios are high conviction portfolios with 20 to 25 stocks being our ideal number. We believe in adequate diversification but over-diversification results in diluting returns for our investors and adding market risk.
