Our Mantra For Wealth Creation

Our Mantra for Wealth Creation
Over the years, Motilal Oswal Group has conducted various Wealth
Creation Studies. These studies and our passion for equity investing have
helped us hone a unique and focused investing process that can be
summarised in 4 letters - 'QGLP'.
Where; '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 and 'P'rice denotes our approach of buying a good business for a
fair price rather than buying a fair business for a good price. QGLP has
helped us identify many multibaggers in our portfolios as can be seen in
the performance of our PMS schemes

Let's look at each of these characteristics in a bit more detail

Q
QUALITY
Quality of a business/company is reflected in its ability to derive superior
returns on capital invested while treating stakeholders in a consistently fair
way. This ability should be deep-rooted and hence sustainable.
Quality itself can be characterized into two dimensions - 'Quality Business'
and 'Quality Management'
1. Quality Business
A Quality Business is one with a sustained competitive advantage
measured by high return ratios, in absolute terms and/or relative
to peers. Some good examples of these characteristics can be
seen in stocks like HDFC Bank and TCS.
A Quality Business also has Industry leadership position. Like
Bosch India which is the undisputed leader in Fuel Injection
System for medium/heavy commercial vehicles and tractors.
In addition, Quality Businesses typically have a favorable industry
structure i.e. they operate in a monopoly, duopoly or oligopoly.
Good examples of such industries are Asian Paints and United
Spirits.
Quality is found in secular and stable businesses; preferably
consumer facing. A good example of such a business is Colgate
which has been present in oral care as an established consumer
category for many years.
Another characteristic of a Quality Business is limited use of
leverage on the balance sheet.
Q
2. Quality Management
Quality Management is one which has competence and can be
seen in the industry leading margins they command. Infosys and
Sun Pharma are good examples of this.
Quality Management is also characterized by a rational capital

allocation policy. A good example is Hero Honda, given its focused
investment in core business and high dividend payouts.
Quality Management believes in rewarding its shareholders with

regular dividend. Companies like Colgate and Page Industries are
examples.
Quality Management thinks innovatively in terms of their

company's products, processes and selling approach. For
example, the management of Pidilite has successfully created
new segments/markets through innovation.
Quality Management is honest and trustworthy. It is also

transparent in its dealings and provides adequate disclosures.
Infosys is one of the foremost example here.
G
GROWTH
Most Investors look for growth while selecting companies for investing.
However, growth by itself doesn't mean much. It adds value only when the
company earns Return on Capital higher than its Cost of Capital. Hence,
Growth is simply an amplifier: good when return exceeds cost of capital,
bad when return is below cost of capital, and neutral when return equals
cost of capital. Higher growth adds value for high return businesses and
detracts value for low return businesses.
Growth can be identified with the following characteristics:
Is the company in a growing, large and addressable market? P&G in

the consumer goods space and Page Industries in the innerwear
category are not only in large and growing categories; they also
have the products to address various needs of their markets.
Is the company gaining market share? Sun Pharma and Amara Raja
Batteries are good examples here.
There are various margin growth levers in the company's

operations that can help identify growth. For example, Bata's
growth in margins happened due to continuous reduction in its
employee costs.
And lastly, the growth should preferably be in a profitable segment.

IndusInd Bank is a good example of growth in the profitable private
banking space.
L
LONGEVITY
The final driver of franchise value is the sustainability of excess return by
companies. Over time, economic forces tend to drive down return on
invested capital to cost of capital. Hence, a central task for an investor is to
assess how long a company earning above its cost of capital can continue
to find productive investment opportunities. Stock prices often reflect 10-
20 years of value-creating cash flows. Competitive strategy analysis is
particularly useful in this effort.
Longevity can be identified in the long competitive advantage

period that a company has. For example, Power Grid Corporation
and Container Corporation have a long period of competitive
advantage before competition can catch up.
Longevity can also be seen in understanding growth potential for

10-15 years. For example, the low penetration of the spirits market
and United Spirits' critical mass gives a good indicator of the
longevity of its growth.
P
PRICE
Price of a stock has to be seen in conjunction with Value it offers. Price is
what we pay, value is what we get. Therefore, stocks are attractive only
when they are priced less than the value perceived in the stock.
Pricing can be evaluated by the following characteristics:
Discount to historical P/E(Price-Earnings) trading band
P/B (Price-to-Book) discount
PEG (Price-Earnings to Growth) ratio
DCF (Discounted Cash Flow)
Replacement Value Discount
Popular/Unpopular idea
Payback ratio
Dividend yield.
This is just a short introduction to the concept of QGLP. It has many
interesting permutations and combinations. The principles however
remain the same. Wealth can be created if QGLP is practiced sincerely,
along with the focus and discipline of patience over the years.
It is a process practiced by investing oracles. All Motilal Oswal AMCs

offerings, be it Portfolio Management Services or Mutual Funds, practice
this process. So go ahead, practice QGLP… and create wealth. And if you do
not have the expertise or time to diligently practice this unique wealth
creating mantra, all you need to do is invest in any equity fund or strategy
by Motilal Oswal AMC.
Happy Investing
