About us...

'A Rough Book' is a compilation of my notes made while studying businesses and their investment potential.

Through this blog my primary aim is to make my self accountable for my investment decisions, and keep my biases in check.

"I took charge of my family's investment portfolio in 2016. Unsurprisingly, I realised quickly that an underlying knowledge of businesses, their external environment, strategies and finances was essential to be a successful investor. Along the way, I discovered my love for understanding businesses.

The first step was to build the appetite to invest.
I am at the second phase of this journey where comprehending businesses is easy; the next is to analyse the right investable opportunities while being mindful of the opportunity cost.

My biggest learning so far has been- be Patient, build Conviction.

I am excited to share with all of you on how the journey unfolds from here on."
