Frequently asked questions

First Global - Human plus Machine model [FG-HUM]:

The FG-HUM is a game-changing offering for small and mid-size investors. It is a curated list of 25-30 stocks from India that simplifies your equity investing completely.

This portfolio is usually rebalanced every 3 months, although there would be occasional mid-quarter changes.

On rebalancing date, based on an in-depth analysis of micro and macro data, some stocks leave the basket and other stocks enter.

The engine that drives the portfolio is the FG ExoTech, that is First Global’s proprietary tech stack, which relies on a number of cutting-edge Machine Learning models, with an overlay of decades of human intelligence.

It is this model that has provided First Global with the very best performance in the Multi-cap Portfolio Management space since inception on both pure returns as well as risk-adjusted returns. The same model is now available to smaller investors

This combinatorial approach of Human + Machine helps identify stocks that are best positioned to capture nearly every single alpha-generating move in the markets.

The portfolio is not skewed towards any particular sector or market cap range. In fact, that is the beauty of the approach, that the portfolio is not restricted to any particular set of factors, stocks or sectors. The strategy is to remain flexible and open to portfolio changes without getting attached to the past.

First Global’s investment strategy is data and situation-based. They rely on the fact that flexibility is key to managing portfolios well, as no strategy works forever.

They adapt and marry these with zero-emotion risk management.

Risk Management and protecting investors' money is absolutely the cornerstone of their philosophy.

First Global's portfolio selection is based on their proprietary Human + Machine Model, the ExoTech.

They have a blended investment strategy which is designed taking into consideration multiple factors like Value, Growth, Price Movement, Valuation, Quality of Stock, Overall Market Dynamics, etc. Essentially, they have a bias-free approach to investing. Their Human + Machine Model is purely clinical. It doesn't storify investing.

Also, their strategy is one of taking a large number of small bets as opposed to the conventional strategy of taking a small number of large bets. As a result of this diversification, they have found that one can generate tons of alpha without adding proportionately to risk.

Avoidance of big losses is absolutely central to their investment process and philosophy, and Risk Management is the God they worship.
