Focus on growth, RoCE and valuations rather than on market capitalisation

Somebody asked Kacholia the pertinent question whether he is predominantly a midcap / small cap investor or he also invests in large cap stocks. Kacholia replied that he does not categorise or allocate his investments by market cap criteria. He looks more closely at growth, Roce, valuations. Of course, it is implied that a small and mid-cap stock will have more growth opportunities as compared to a large-cap stock.

Someone also asked Kacholia whether he prefers managements that give guidance. Kacholia replied in the affirmative that he prefers managements that give realistic and achievable guidance.

He also clarified that he does not aim for multibagger gains of 100% but even a relatively modest return of 25% would be awesome.
