SPVH Discovery Fund

Unearthing India's Hidden Champions — Catalyst-Driven Value in the Undiscovered Universe.

A small-mid cap, long-only strategy with a special-situations overlay — investing in undervalued businesses before the crowd arrives, each backed by a pre-identified, time-bound catalyst and a rigorous governance filter.

Investment Philosophy

We Invest Before the Crowd Arrives.

“

The most explosive returns in Indian equities lie not in the companies the market already knows — but in those it has yet to discover. We seek businesses undergoing a fundamental change in destiny: a new product, a new promoter, a spin-off, a regulatory tailwind, or a sector re-rating. We invest before the crowd arrives.

Proprietary Framework

The VAULT Framework.

Five disciplined pillars for catalyst-driven value discovery — buy at a discount, demand a catalyst, stay undiscovered, exploit low float, and stay time-bound.

V
Value at a DiscountTarget companies where market price is ≤50% of intrinsic value due to temporary neglect, sector rotation, or perception gap — not fundamental deterioration.
A
Actionable Catalyst IdentifiedEvery position requires a pre-identified catalyst: spin-off, demerger, management change, order win, capacity addition, regulatory benefit. No catalyst = no entry.
U
Undiscovered Business QualityInvest only where sell-side coverage is ≤3 brokers. Proprietary channel checks, management meets, and supply-chain intelligence form the research edge.
L
Low Float AdvantageTarget companies with promoter holding ≥55% and public float ≤30%. Limits selling pressure and amplifies re-rating when institutional discovery begins.
T
Time-Bound ThesisEach special-situation position has a 12–18 month catalyst-realisation window. If the catalyst doesn't materialise, the position is reviewed/exited — preventing value-trap accumulation.
Portfolio Construction

A Disciplined Construct.

Core Holdings — 60–65%

10–12 high-quality small-mid cap businesses with 3–5 year earnings-compounding visibility. ROCE ≥18%, debt-free or low leverage, promoter skin-in-the-game. Held until thesis exhausted.

Catalyst Plays — 25–30%

4–6 special situations: corporate actions, restructurings, sector re-ratings, SME IPO pre-listings. 12–18 month horizon with an event-driven return profile.

Tactical Reserve — 5–15%

Cash or short-duration liquid instruments during high-valuation or low-opportunity environments. Preserves dry powder for immediate deployment when events crystallise.

Governance Filter

All holdings pass a 10-point governance audit: audit quality, related-party transactions, promoter pledge, cash conversion, and independent board representation. Zero tolerance for accounting red flags.

The Discovery Edge

What Sets This Strategy Apart.

Catalyst-Led, Not Passive

Every position is anchored to a specific, time-bound catalyst — ensuring active value realisation rather than open-ended "buy and hope" compounding.

Governance Without Rigidity

A 10-point governance audit maintains quality while staying adaptive to structural shifts — capturing themes that rigid rules-based screens miss entirely.

Genuine Information Edge

Focusing on the ≤3-broker, low-float universe with proprietary channel checks creates an edge that crowded, well-covered names cannot offer.

Institutional Deal-Flow Pipeline

SPVH's institutional team and deal-flow network provide a scalable catalyst and pre-listing pipeline — depth that boutique special-situations managers lack.
