Our Guiding Principles
Paitence
Businesses are not built in days, weeks or months. They take years of hard work and the same applies to investing in those businesses.
Conviction
One of the biggest drivers for success is belief and we do not let the market noise distract our focus.
Discipline
Nothing is as important as discipline while investing in equities. It is a risky asset and greed can and more often than not get the better of you.
What People Say
Dr. Mahendra Manocha
I was one of the early investors in KB Capital's PMS. That was by far the smartest decision I ever made. They have demonstrated that time and patience can generate phenomenal returns.
Barsha Khattry
Wealth creation is a risky business. Like many, I was a non-believer in the stock market as popular opinion was in favour of pain rather than gain. However, I laud the exceptional job that KB Capital has done for us. There have been years when the portfolio has not performed, but in the past fifteen years during which we have reposed our faith in KB's PMS division, the performance has far surpassed even our wildest expectations. Combined with the team's exceptional accessibility and efficiency, I'm sure makes their PMS one of the best performing that I am aware of. ​
Deepak Soman
I have been a customer of KB Capital for over a decade. Their investment team is experienced, focussed and inspires confidence. Their approach to investing is research-oriented and methodical, with returns consistently out-performing market indices. Support services are quick and friendly. I would recommend KB Capital to anyone looking to invest in the Equity markets.
Navin Nayar
My association of over 15 years with KB Capital started off as a casual discussion with Prashant and Mr. Poddar over a cup of tea about capital markets in general and India’s changing and dynamic position in the world order. I realised that most of the views I held were seconded by them and that there was a certain sense of conviction and sincerity in their approach to what arguably promised to be “exciting times”. I knew then that my investment was in very good hands and I initiated my PMS investment.
The years that have followed in capital markets have been both tumultuous and incredibly rewarding for investors and my original conviction in the investment approach of the fund managers has only been buttressed over and over again. I would be biased if I said that there were no moments of doubt and in this journey but these were largely on account of extraneous factors. In fact, it is during such crises that the true grit and clarity of thought of the fund managers came to the fore and while no one is immune to such factors, with their disciplined and if I may say so, conservative approach, they ensured that the damage was far less than what other investors experienced.
The other aspect of an association with KB Capital is professional service with a personal touch. Someone is always there to discuss the portfolio, give balances (Rakesh, in point) and generally to chat about the market and it’s prospects! With all this in place, it’s little wonder that they have built up a formidable client base and grown from strength to strength. ​
PMS FAQs
Answers to some of the questions you may have
-
Initial CorpusThe initial corpus can be brought into the Portfolio Management Service by way or either cash and/or securities/shares. The securities & shares shall be valued as per the market price prevailing on the date of introduction. In case if shares/securities are offered as initial corpus, the portfolio will be gradually aligned with our model portfolio over several months. For portfolios which have been started purely with cash, it would take anywhere between 3-6 months for it to get full invested. The un-invested cash would remain deployed in an exchange traded liquid fund till the same is required for meeting investment obligations. If you desire to have the investment process to be handled in any other manner, the same should be explicitly instructed by you.
