We are delighted to introduce Kinematics Vector Fund to you for the first time. Markets can sometimes appear completely still. An index may remain flat for months, giving investors the impression that nothing much is happening. But beneath the surface, the market is rarely standing still.

Capital is constantly moving.

It moves out of certain sectors and into others. Some businesses quietly begin attracting investor interest and gaining momentum, while others gradually lose it. New opportunities emerge even as older ones fade. In other words, even when the overall market appears to be going nowhere, movement continues beneath the surface.

This led us to a simple but important question:

If the index itself is not moving, does that mean investors cannot find opportunities to compound their capital?

That question became the foundation of Kinematics Vector Fund.

Kinematics is built on the idea that instead of focusing only on where the overall market might go next, we should also understand where capital is moving right now. Inspired by the principles of motion observed in nature, Kinematics seeks to understand not just where prices are, but how they are moving whether that movement is strengthening, weakening, accelerating or changing direction.

In the pages that follow, we invite you to explore how this simple observation has evolved into a disciplined and repeatable investment process. Because sometimes, the most important opportunities are not found by looking at where the market is standing but by understanding where it is moving.

India continues to grow. Businesses are expanding, earnings are compounding and the long term economic opportunity remains compelling. Yet markets do not always move with the economy.

Over the last couple of years, investors have experienced prolonged periods of flat, volatile and uncertain markets. Global interest rates, geopolitics, commodity prices, liquidity and foreign flows have repeatedly influenced market direction, often overshadowing otherwise healthy domestic fundamentals. Most of these factors are beyond the control of investors and fund managers.

Kinematics Vector Fund has been built around to generate absolute returns across market environments by identifying where meaningful price movement is developing, participating when the evidence is favourable and stepping aside when it is not.

The objective is to find return opportunities even when the broader market is flat, volatile or directionless.

Every market price reflects the collective actions of millions of participants continuously processing information on earnings, growth, valuations, liquidity, risk and expectations. In that sense, the market is a vast aggregation of collective intelligence.

Fundamentals matter. Earnings matter. Growth and valuations matter. So do expectations, liquidity and risk.

Much of this information ultimately finds expression through price and its movement.

Kinematics attempts to read that movement. Not merely where a price stands today, but whether the movement is strengthening, weakening, accelerating or changing direction.

Kinematics is the science of motion.

In physics, movement can be understood through direction, velocity, acceleration, momentum, energy and waves.

Markets too move in phases. Trends emerge, gather strength, accelerate, weaken and eventually reverse. Capital rotates between sectors and securities. At times, meaningful price movement begins before the complete investment narrative becomes obvious.

Kinematics applies mathematical and quantitative principles inspired by these patterns of motion to study markets, sectors and securities.

It seeks to understand:

1. Where is capital moving?

2. Where is that movement strengthening?

3. Which securities are participating?

4. When should we enter?

5. How much should we allocate?

6. And when should we move away?

The objective is not to predict every market turn.

It is to recognise the movements that matter.

The investment process follows a disciplined top down progression:

The broader market sets the context. Sector movement narrows the opportunity set. Security level analysis identifies where participation is strongest. Entry determines when to act. Position sizing determines how much capital to commit. Risk management governs exposure. Exit determines when the evidence has changed.

These are not isolated decisions.

“They form one integrated investment architecture.”

Kinematics does not discard fundamental analysis. It uses it differently.

Price movement reflects the combined expectations and actions of millions of market participants. Changes in earnings expectations, business prospects, sector dynamics, liquidity and risk can begin expressing themselves through price before the full narrative becomes apparent.

Kinematics seeks to identify such movement systematically.

Fundamental analysis then provides an additional layer of validation and risk control. Business quality, financial strength, governance, liquidity and other material considerations continue to matter.

Kinematics is therefore neither conventional fundamental investing nor conventional technical analysis.

“It brings market behaviour and fundamental judgement together within one decision framework.”

The portfolio is expected to ordinarily hold fewer than 20 securities.

It is sector agnostic and market cap agnostic, with no predetermined allocation to large caps, mid caps or small caps.

Liquidity, however, remains important. The strategy is expected to predominantly invest in securities with adequate liquidity, allowing positions to be entered, managed and exited efficiently.

Capital can therefore move towards those sectors and companies offering the strongest combination of movement, liquidity and risk reward.

Kinematics does not need to remain fully invested merely because capital is available.

When evidence is favourable, the strategy participates. When it weakens, exposure can be reduced. When compelling opportunities are unavailable, stepping aside can itself be an investment decision.

This flexibility becomes particularly relevant in flat, volatile or repeatedly changing markets.

The objective is not constant activity. It is intelligent participation.

Every investment strategy will occasionally be wrong.

What matters is how it responds when the evidence changes.

Risk management is embedded into Kinematics through position sizing, portfolio construction, liquidity assessment, exposure management, continuous monitoring and disciplined exits.

The framework seeks to reduce dependence on individual judgement, market narratives and emotion.

Decisions are driven by evidence and governed by process.

An investor in Kinematics is not simply buying a portfolio of stocks.

The investor is participating in an investment decision architecture designed to answer four questions:

• Where is the opportunity?
• Where should capital participate?
• How much should be deployed?
• When should exposure be reduced or exited?

That is the essence of Kinematics.

Recognise movement. Participate intelligently. Manage risk. Compound capital.

Kinematics also follows a differentiated economic structure.

There is no fixed fund management fee.

The investment manager’s economics are linked entirely to performance, subject to the applicable PMS terms and onboarding documentation.

Capital under management, by itself, does not earn the manager a conventional fixed management fee.

Performance does.

This creates a clear alignment of interests.

We participate economically when our investors create value.

For investors, this is more than a fee structure. It aligns the manager more closely with the investment outcome that matters most.

Sincere Syndication approaches investing through different lenses.

Metamorphosis seeks transformation in businesses. Kinematics seeks transformation in market behaviour.

The approaches are different. The objective remains the same:

“Compounding investor capital”.

Markets will rise. They will fall. At times, they will simply go nowhere.

Yet beneath the index, capital continues to move between sectors, companies and opportunities.

Kinematics is designed to recognise the movements that matter, participate with discipline and endeavour to convert motion into compounding capital.
