Thank you to our investment team who do what they do, every day, across asset classes, in a world of tariffs, turbulence and Twitter takes. To the millions of investors and thousands of partners we have, thank you for trusting us with your money and your aspirations. And finally, thank you to @in_morningstar. In a world of the short term, you reward consistency. It makes us want to play the long game. To decadal, whiskey-like compounding.”


Gupta also thanked millions of investors and thousands of partners for placing their trust in the fund house, noting that managing investor money comes with the responsibility of protecting and growing their aspirations.

She further acknowledged Morningstar for recognising consistency in an industry often driven by short-term performance metrics, and that this motivates the fund house to continue focusing on long-term wealth creation.

Reiterating her investment philosophy, Gupta described the approach was centred around “decadal, whiskey-like compounding,” underlining the importance of patience, discipline, and consistency in building sustainable returns.
