What are the principles of Chatur Framework?
Chatur Framework is based on value investing principles. In a nutshell, value investing means we strictly evaluate the quantitative matrixes of the business and calculate the intrinsic value of a business and buy its stocks at a cheaper price. Buying stocks cheaper than their intrinsic value is known as the margin of safety.
Our investing framework is not limited to quantitative matrixes, we equally value qualitative measures of a business. Step 4 & Step 5 of the Chatur Investing Framework looks into the qualitative measures of the business.
