Goldman Sachs India Equity Portfolio
India is prime hunting ground for early-stage companies, especially in niche and emerging sectors. We find opportunities across innovative and disruptive service providers and have stayed invested in some of these smaller companies as they scale up.
Having a local research team allows us to connect regularly with company management. It also gives us first-hand insights on the pulse of the market and regulatory landscape that can vary across this vast country.
We invest with our investors’ interest in mind and adopt a compensation scheme that rewards the team for the Portfolio’s outperformance vs benchmark.
We look for sound businesses, trading at inexpensive valuation since the portfolio started in 2008. This, coupled with insights from the ground, has helped performance. For the last ten years, the Portfolio returned 8.1% per annum, outperforming the benchmark 5.8%.
