Investment thesis
The firm sees strong compounding opportunities in advanced manufacturing sub-sectors such as high-tech electronics manufacturing, critical minerals, recycling, and materials. It believes the creation of 'national champions' in these areas offers an attractive risk-return profile. Growth is viewed as being accelerated by regulatory tailwinds, India's 'Make-in-India' program, a large domestic market, and a broader focus on supply chain diversification. This positions the firm to back companies benefiting from these structural manufacturing trends over the foreseeable future.
