25-30 stocks
How many stocks the manager holds. Fewer stocks means higher conviction per position — each holding has a larger impact on overall returns, amplifying both gains and losses.
29%
Percentage of portfolio bought or sold annually. Higher turnover means more active trading and potentially more short-term capital gains tax events in your demat account.
High watermark means you pay performance fees only on new highs — never twice for the same gains after a drawdown recovery.
