Since our focus is always to invest in those companies which are available at an attractive valuation, we believe that in the long term, any stock will always seek its fair valuation which is unaffected by corrections in the market. If however, we see signs of a trend reversal; our focus may change to increasing the cash component and restrict investments to defensive sectors, which have low beta relative to the markets.
