Testimonials

I’ve seen Saurabh’s evolution from a keen learner to a natural leader of our equities franchise over the 12+ Years we worked together. Saurabh’s extensive experience of tending to long term institutional thought patterns, coupled with an instinctive understanding of balance sheets provides a sound base for structural and logical decision making. Having witnessed multiple (and historic) market cycles on the institutional stage has made him adept to striking a balance between emotion and passion through market booms and busts

Nozer Shroff - Head of India Equities, DSP Merrill Lynch

Saurabh is one of the most talented people I have met. Extremely articulate, original thinker and industrious; but above all he possess a quality rare in today’s world – integrity! I have worked with Saurabh for over a decade and his ability to identify investment opportunities across asset classes & global markets is something to admire. His investment ethos is immersed in the philosophy of capital preservation first, and then work towards risk adjusted returns. Not only does he care about his own hard earned money but more when it comes to managing his clients’ wealth.

Manish Prasad - Head of Equities at JM Financial & Ex-MD and Head of Sales at DSP Merrill Lynch

I have worked with Saurabh for over a decade and continue to do so. He has extensive local Indian expertise and highly knowledgeable of global macro making him very versatile to work with. Saurabh is exceptional at finding winning sustainable long term businesses and his analysis and understanding is deep. Very fortunate to have a contact such as Saurabh.

David Park - Fund Manager at Carmignac Gestion

I’ve known Saurabh for over a decade now. He’s been an invaluable sounding board for multiple aspects of investing for me…..I think there are many reasons that differentiate him from the herd – he has an extremely curious mind, he is clear about his investment philosophy and is always ready to take the road not taken. To me these are all important attributes that will propel him to become a better and better investor through time.

Mihir Sheth - Segantii Capital Management

Apart from being analytically sound, Ayaz is a highly thoughtful investor with an abiding sense of purpose. He has the rare ability to connect “narrative to numbers” with great fluency. Though he is slightly unconventional, Ayaz has a nuanced understanding of tricky issues in portfolio construction and risk mitigation. His considerable humility, willingness to absorb constructive criticism, searing honesty and insatiable desire to learn are not easily matched by his peers. He has greatly expanded his “circle of competence” over time and is an excellent judge of value. He has an impressive professional network. Unsurprisingly, there is a clear consensus within the group, that “Master Mo” is one of the most prodigious and original investment talents of his vintage!
