The investment style applied is generally value oriented, although Growth At Reasonable Price (GARP) strategies can also be used where appropriate. 

Our investment research approach aim is often contrarian, looking to capitalise on overly sceptical or optimistic consensus views. In terms of valuation techniques, the focus is on PBV ratio to ROE, PE multiples and dividend yield, as well as the application of PEG ratios and, where appropriate, Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuations.

<li>Our profitability and credit quality screens were generally, in terms of credit quality metrics to end-December 2021, more constructive than the prior quarter, whilst core profitability signals improved slightly</li>
<li>The threat of worsening credit quality in the coming quarters is still real, in our view, with the financial difficulties of Future Retail indicating potential corporate credit quality deterioration</li>
<li>We like quality play HDFC Bank, turn constructive on State Bank of India and we remain negative on Canara Bank and Bandhan Bank; neutral on Kotak Mahindra and ICICI Bank</li>
