Principals are Mr. Ravi Chadha (MD & CIO) and Mr. Sharad Nayak (Director-Research), extremely experienced with combined knowledge of 35 years in the stock market.

There are as many

strategies as there

are investors.

We each see the

world, as we are

‘hardwired’!

Product

• ‘Ultimately all money is made by being on the right side of a trend’ – Ed Seykota

• A trend following product that seeks to identify and capitalize on long term uptrends in ‘Blue Chip’ stocks.

• ‘Blue Chips’ are large and well established companies, with stable growth.

• First new product from Prodigy Investment Management after six years since inception.

‘Trends

monetize

fundamentals’

System

• The System uses proprietary indicators to identify ‘insiders’ and ‘smart money’ entering a scrip which sets a trend in motion.

• The System ‘screens’ the entire market for these scrips and throws them out for final evaluation. This is done weekly.

• The team at Prodigy then evaluates these scrips based on size and certain qualitative parameters to determine the final buy list.

• Allocation per position of 4% of portfolio is done. Fresh position established only if an existing one is exited (if fully invested).

`The greatest

challenge is

following the

systems we set

for ourselves’

Risk Management & Profit Booking• Capital protection is an essential part of every strategy.

Based on pre-determined parameters a position is sold if certain indicators are triggered. This is also done weekly.

• This applies to positions for the purpose of profit taking as well. Unless a contrary signal emerges, the position is left untouched.

• The system throws the portfolio into cash in a ‘bear market’ and keeps it in cash till new ‘buy’ signals emerge. (see Chart II)

• The system puts the portfolio into the leadership of the fresh upmoves, subsequently.

• Minimum 25% of realized gains to be distributed every quarter, subject to a distributable surplus of a minimum of Rs. 1 Lac being available.

‘Knowing how to

take a loss,

separates the

men from men

the boys’

Back Testing

• The System has been ‘back tested’ over the last 5 years using the identical parameters we plan to deploy going forward.

• The outcome or ‘Equity Curve’ of this back testing is shown in Chart I, annexed. The performance v/s the Nifty and HDFC Top 200 Fund & Franklin India BlueChip Fund (2 of the top performing large cap/bluechip funds) is also shown.

• The system back testing returned ~34% CAGR over these 5 years v/s 20% CAGR for the NIFTY. (CAGR – Compound Annual Growth Rate)

“`Bull’ and `Bear’

labels introduce

emotion into what

otherwise are

merely uptrends

or downtrends”

For Whom

• This product is ideal for those seeking a return better than the Index with medium to low risk. Blue Chips are large companies, well researched and already reasonably priced. Thus returns will be between that of the Index and our flagship product Prodigy Growth Strategy.

• This product is ideal for re-allocation of under performing mutual funds. We would be happy to evaluate and identify those mutual funds you own that may be switched into this product.

• Minimum ticket size for an account is Rs. 25 lacs.

• Product amenable to ‘Systematic Investment Plan’ (SIP) for long term portfolio build up.

`The greatest risk

in life, is not

taking enough

intelligent risk’

Management / Administration

• Scheme administrator and custodian Motilal Oswal Securities.

• Fund Manager, Mr. Sharad Nayak, Principal and Partner, Prodigy Investment Management.

• Prodigy and its promoters co-investing Rs. 5 million in initial corpus alongside.

`We eat our own

cooking’

Right Human Attribute

Discipline to stick to a defined strategy and process even during times when the going may not be good.

Attitude to analyse performance, identify mistakes and incorporate the learnings to improve our processes.

Failure and loss

create an

emotional opening,

through which great

learning may occur

Payout Policy

Policy to pay out a minimum of 25% of realised profits every quarter.

• Distribution of profits is in the spirit of “Invest Well. Celebrate Life.”
