India’s leading classifieds company

• Infoedge’s Naukri.com is India’s dominant


online jobs portal with 70%+ traffic share. It also
owns 99acres.com which is the No. 1 online
real-estate classifieds portal with 50% traffic
share

• India’s low internet penetration provides a long


runway of growth for these dominant classified
businesses

• Management has an excellent track record of


execution. It has also made investments in

Case Studies* - Navin Fluorine International

Emerging leader in fluorination

• Established in 1967, NFIL has successfully


transitioned its business model from a domestic
focused, commoditised inorganic fluoride
manufacturer to a well-established specialty
chemical and CRAMS player globally

• Fluorination is one of the fastest growing


chemistry globally owing to its lipophilic
properties which increases the potency and
efficacy of formulations. Development
capabilities (esp. multi-step) in fluorine have a
long gestation period and hence there are only a
handful of players in fluorine chemistry globally

• NFIL has seen renewed aggression under the


leadership of Radhesh Welling who has more
than 25 years of experience in the speciality
chemicals industry. Post his joining, the
management has created the right incentive
structure for employees at all levels to ensure
value accretive growth

The objective of the strategy is to achieve long term capital appreciation by primarily investing in ‘listed securities’ in India.
The investment strategy is long only with a bottom-up stock selection approach. The investment philosophy is, that
Investment Objective outsized returns are earned over time by investing in great businesses at attractive values. A great business, in our view, is
one that is well managed, scalable, and generates superior returns on incremental capital. Valuation is attractive when the

Lessons from 2020
Macro- Shacro
20-20 from 2020: The futility of predicting investment returns based on macroeconomic worries and events

Lesson #1

• The usual perennial macroeconomic worries of the well-known unknowns variety are a colossal waste of time
• They hardly influence the future returns from equity markets, if any at all

Lesson #2

• Nobody has a crystal ball to forecast cataclysmic risk events of the unknown unknown variety, ex: the pandemic
• Market implications remain unpredictable even if one were bestowed with perfect prior knowledge

Lesson #3

• Investment decisions bereft of bottom up analysis, and instead driven by macro considerations, are fraught with
high risk of substantial absolute and relative losses

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT REPRODUCE OR DISTRIBUTE 54


White Oak’s Perspective

The value of the market at any time is present value of aggregate perpetual future cash flows
The market is fairy valued at all times

Relevance of Macro

• View macros as source of random risks, not as opportunity to add alpha


• Consciously avoid top-down misadventures – market timing, sector rotation
• Stay fully invested, with a bottom up approach to investing in great businesses at attractive valuations
• Maintain a balanced portfolio construction approach at all times
