What does the Portfolio tell us about the Investment Strategy?

The portfolio does not have any sort of inclination towards pharma or IT – sectors that are considered as two of the most dominating in the Indian market. A noticeable tactic about this portfolio is its inclination towards the Packaging Sector which is shown in the holdings in Uflex and Kama Holdings. In fact, Keswani Haresh even invested in Polyplex Corporation and had holdings in the company as recent as June 2021.

The portfolio also includes the shares of a cement company that represent (or at least compliment) the Infra Sector. This is a good strategy considering the growing infrastructural integrity of the nation.
