The Business Evaluation Framework that we use at Bastion Research
In this newsletter, we will discuss investment frameworks and how they can improve investment evaluation. We will also share the SMART framework that we use for ourselves.
Research and independent thinking are game-changers in investing, yet very few practice them. You need to do your own homework, which includes analyzing data, identifying market trends, and evaluating the risks and rewards of various opportunities. It’s not just about crunching numbers; it also involves thinking independently and making decisions based on your unique insights rather than merely following others, which gives you an edge.
This is where frameworks become invaluable. Instead of relying on intuition and incomplete data without a systematic method, frameworks provide a structured approach to tackling complex information, highlighting what truly matters, and developing strategies that align with your investment style.
By combining solid research, independent thought, and these useful frameworks, you can navigate the investment landscape confidently and make smart, strategic choices.
Recently, we shared in our newsletter how you can think about building a preliminary evaluation framework and what we do at Bastion Research. Taking one more step forward, we have decided to share our SMART Framework (a comprehensive business evaluation framework we use at Bastion Research) with you.
So, starting today, we will publish SIX newsletters covering our SMART framework entirely. The best part is that this won’t be just a theoretical lecture; we’ll explain it using a plethora of real company examples from Indian businesses that we have studied throughout our journey.
Today, we are starting with the introduction of the SMART Framework.
Chapter 1: What is the SMART Framework?
The SMART Framework is a robust business evaluation tool that we at Bastion Research use to assess a company or stock from an investment perspective.
