BRIDGE ARCHITECT

Execution Protocol V3.0 | Systematic Multi-Alignment Strategy

Core Principle

The risk isn't that the thesis is wrong—it's that the thesis is already priced in

Critical Warning: Many micro/midcaps trade at 50-70x P/E with 2-3% revenue of their TAM. Growth story ≠ good entry price.

Entry Timing Protocol

Systematic triggers for deployment

BIOSECURE Act and defense/nuclear plays are fully priced.
These stocks need 30-40% earnings CAGR for 3+ years to justify current multiples.
Only accumulate during:
God Mode Nifty 500 breadth <15%
Sector-specific panic News-driven selloffs in pharma/defense/nuclear
Systematic entry trigger US 2-Year Treasury yield <3.0%

At current prices, you're paying for perfection. We need Mr. Market to panic first.

Liquidity Tier Classification

Position sizing based on exit risk

Tier Avg Daily Volume Max Position Size Entry Strategy Exit Risk
TIER 1 Institutional Grade ₹100+ Cr 6-10% VWAP execution over 2-3 days Low - Can exit within 1 week with <2% slippage
TIER 2 Quality Midcap ₹30-100 Cr 2-3% Scale over 5-7 days, limit orders only Medium - 2-3 weeks for full exit, 3-5% slippage
TIER 3 Illiquid Micro-Cap <₹30 Cr 0.5-1% Patient limit orders over 10+ days High - 4-6 weeks for exit, 8-12% slippage possible
Key Rule: Never exceed tier limits. A 1% position in a TIER 3 stock = ₹1 Cr on ₹100 Cr AUM. If daily volume is ₹20 Cr, you're 5% of daily volume. Exit will take 4-6 weeks minimum.

90-Day Deployment Protocol

When systemic entry trigger hits (US02Y <3.0% AND Nifty 500 breadth <15%)

30%
Tranche 1 (Days 1-30)
TIER 1 Core

Focus: BSE, CDSL, MCX, IEX, Shilchar
Logic: High liquidity = fast deployment
Execution: VWAP, complete within first month

40%
Tranche 2 (Days 31-60)
TIER 2 Alpha

Focus: Neuland, Concord, Kaynes, MTAR
Logic: Mid-liquidity, portfolio alpha drivers
Execution: Limit orders, 2-3 weeks per stock

30%
Tranche 3 (Days 61-90)
TIER 3 Micro-Cap

Focus: Sealmatic, Data Patterns, Titagarh
Logic: Low liquidity, potential 10x returns
Execution: Ultra-patient, 30 days per stock

Case Study: Why We Wait

The math of buying at peak vs buying after crash

Scenario A: Buy Now at Peak

  • Entry: Neuland Labs at ₹15,000 92x P/E
  • Crash: Drops 70% to ₹4,500
  • Recovery: Returns to ₹15,000 in 3 years
Your return: 0% (breakeven after 3 years)

Scenario B: Buy After Crash

  • Entry: Neuland Labs at ₹4,500 28x P/E post-crash
  • Recovery: Returns to ₹15,000 in 3 years
  • Thesis execution: Earnings grow 40% annually, stock reaches ₹25,000
Your return: 455% (5.5x in 3 years)
This is why we wait.

Risk Context Reframe

Context matters more than asset class

Most investors think micro-caps = high risk. But context matters:

  • Buying at peak (2026) High risk. 70-80% downside potential.
  • Buying post-crash (2027) Low risk. Only 20-30% additional downside, 300-500% upside.

We deploy AFTER the 70-80% crash, not before. This fundamentally changes the risk profile.

Entry Point
US02Y <3.0%

Nifty 500 breadth <15%

Downside Risk
-20 to -30%

Additional from entry (worst case)

Upside Potential
+300 to +500%

Recovery + thesis execution

Risk-Reward Ratio
1:15

For every ₹1 of downside risk, you have ₹15 of upside potential

Portfolio-Level Triggers

Systematic entry and exit protocols

Trigger Type Metric Threshold Action
SYSTEMIC ENTRY (God Mode) Nifty 500 stocks > 200-DMA <15% Deploy 100% cash over 3 weeks
Mid-Cycle Accumulation Nifty 500 stocks > 200-DMA <35% Trigger secondary entry protocol during corrections
LATE CYCLE WARNING (Level 1) FII longs >82% BUT DII cash >5% Level 1 Trim 15% of Satellite only
EXHAUSTION (Level 2) FII longs >85% AND DII cash <4% Level 2 Trim 40% Satellite, 20% Core
PEAK EUPHORIA (Level 3) FII longs >88% AND retail margin debt ATH AND Nifty PE >25x Level 3 Trim 60% Satellite, 50% Core, 80% to Gold
Historical God Mode Events:

March 2020 (COVID) Breadth hit 8%. Recovered 47% in 12 months.
2016 (Demonetization) Breadth hit 12%. Recovered 42% in 12 months.
2013 (Taper Tantrum) Breadth hit 11%. Recovered 51% in 18 months.

Average return when deployed at <15% breadth: 45% in first 12 months.
This is mechanical. Not speculation. Systematic exploitation of panic.

Stock-Specific Kill Switches

These override systemic signals

Portfolio-level triggers are insufficient. These stock-specific circuit breakers override systemic signals.
Trigger Action Override?
Earnings miss >15% for 2 consecutive quarters Exit 50% within 48 hours None—execute mechanically
Order book declines >25% QoQ (capex plays) Review within 1 week; exit if no credible explanation None
Regulatory action (SEBI notice, FDA warning, DGTR removes ADD) Immediate 50% position reduction Can override if thesis intact + legal counsel confirms immaterial
Promoter pledging >30% shareholding Exit entirely within 2 weeks None—existential risk
Gross margin compression >300 bps for 2 consecutive quarters Exit 50%; pricing power lost Hold if raw material cost spike (temporary)
Institutional ownership declining >8% in single quarter Exit 50%; smart money exiting Can hold if retail inflows compensate
These override normal entry/exit protocols. Thesis invalidation requires immediate defensive action.

Geopolitical Kill Switches

Bridge State thesis invalidation scenarios

CRITICAL Thesis Invalidation
Trigger Action Timeline
Binary Choice Forced: India explicitly chooses US or China camp (Taiwan conflict involvement, GSP revocation) Exit 50% of portfolio within 72 hours; rotate to domestic consumption plays Immediate
Multi-Alignment Collapse: India loses BRICS+ membership OR Quad strategic partnership downgraded Reduce bridge-state thesis exposure by 30%; reassess individual stock fundamentals 2-4 weeks
Russia Oil Ban: US forces India to stop Russian crude imports via secondary sanctions Exit energy exchanges (IEX, MCX); hedge INR depreciation 1 week
India-China Military Escalation: Galwan 2.0 scenario with sustained conflict Reduce Satellite to 20%; rotate to Core + 40% Gold Immediate (T+0 to T+3)

Policy Reversal Scenarios

Sector-specific thesis invalidation

Trigger Action Timeline
DGTR Reversal: Government removes >3 ADDs within 6 months OR China dumps below-cost at scale Exit Laurus Labs, Concord Biotech; reassess all "protectionism moat" stocks 2-3 weeks
SHANTI Bill Stall: Budget allocation <₹10,000 Cr OR private FDI caps remain restrictive Exit MTAR Tech, Sealmatic India nuclear exposure; rotate to proven revenue models 1 month
BIOSECURE Act Weakened: US grants waivers to Chinese CDMOs OR extends timelines beyond 2028 Reduce Neuland Labs, Sai Life Sciences by 25%; thesis delayed not dead 3-6 months

China Countermove Matrix

Anticipated retaliation and hedging strategy

China will not sit idle. Here's how they might counterattack and our hedges:
China Action Impact Hedge Play
Full Rare Earth Embargo Cripples defense electronics, renewable energy ROTATE To Afghanistan mining partnerships (if formalized), Australian rare earth developers. EXIT Data Patterns (defense export thesis broken)
Below-Cost Dumping Acceleration Undercuts Indian manufacturers despite ADDs EXIT Downstream chemical plays. ROTATE To integrated players with captive supply chains
Semiconductor Subsidy Blitz Chinese OSAT facilities offer 40% below Indian pricing EXIT Kaynes Tech OSAT thesis. ROTATE To design IP plays or advanced packaging
Yuan-Rupee Trade Mandate Pressures India to choose sides, USD bridge thesis weakens REDUCE MCX, IEX (commodity bridges). ROTATE To domestic digital infra (CDSL, BSE)
Belt & Road Competing Projects Ethiopia, Kenya award DPI contracts to Chinese firms EXIT DPI exporters (CAMS). HOLD Domestic DPI monopolies (CDSL)

Final Risk Protocol Statement

Systematic vs faith-based investing

We are NOT "buy and hold forever" investors.

We have mechanical triggers to:

  • Enter when market is panicking breadth <15%
  • Exit when market is euphoric FII longs >85%, DII cash <4%
  • Cut losses when individual stocks break earnings miss, promoter pledge, regulatory action
  • Abandon thesis when geopolitics shift India forced to choose sides

This is not faith-based investing. This is systematic risk management.

Target Portfolio Allocation

Post-deployment structure (after crash)

CORE (Ballast)
40%
Tier 1

Stocks: BSE, CDSL, MCX, IEX, MapmyIndia
Characteristics: Low capex, high ROE, monopoly-like structures
Logic: Portfolio ballast capturing India's financialization

SATELLITE (Alpha)
40%
Tier 2/3

Stocks: Neuland, Concord, Laurus Labs, Kaynes, MTAR, Data Patterns, Anant Raj, Netweb, Titagarh
Characteristics: High capex, high beta
Logic: Aggressive alpha generators (BIOSECURE, defense, nuclear)

COMMODITIES & CASH
20%
Hedges

Allocation: MCX Gold (5%), Shilchar Technologies (5%), Cash Reserve (10%)
Logic: Copper = offensive grid buildout proxy. Gold = defensive fiat hedge. Cash = dry powder.

The Six Market Regimes

Single decision tree for all scenarios

All individual modules (entry rules, exit rules, commodity rotation) integrate into a single decision tree based on regime identification.
Regime Breadth FII Longs DII Cash Allocation Dominant Action
1. CAPITULATION <15% <60% >6% 80% Equities (40% Core + 40% Satellite), 0% Commodities, 20% Cash Deploy cash into portfolio over 3 weeks (God Mode)
2. BULL MARKET 35-65% 60-75% 4-6% 40% Core, 40% Satellite, 5% Commodities, 15% Cash Hold positions, rebalance quarterly
3. LATE CYCLE >65% 75-82% <4% 40% Core, 40% Satellite, 10% Gold, 10% Cash Start trimming Satellite winners (15-25%)
4. EXHAUSTION >70% >82% <3% 30% Core, 15% Satellite, 30% Gold, 25% Cash Execute 40% trim across Satellite, rotate to Gold
5. STRUCTURAL EXIT Any Any Any 20% Core, 0% Satellite, 50% Gold, 30% Cash Capex-to-GDP >34% OR EPS downgrades trigger full defensive
6. GEOPOLITICAL CRISIS Any Any Any 30% Core (domestic only), 0% Satellite, 50% Gold, 20% Cash Override all other signals; capital preservation mode

Fed Policy Scenario Tree

Front-running Fed moves using CME FedWatch Tool

US Federal Reserve policy drives global liquidity. We front-run Fed moves.

Scenario 1: Soft Landing

Signal Inflation drops to 2.5%, unemployment stays <4.5%, Fed cuts gradually

Impact Neutral to mildly positive for EM flows

Strategy:
- Q1-Q2 2026: Accumulate on weakness
- Q3 2026: If Fed signals September cut, front-run with 30% cash deployment
- Q4 2026: Post-cut, evaluate if EM flows materialize within 60 days

Scenario 2: Recession + Panic Cuts

Signal Unemployment spikes >5.5%, recession imminent, Fed panic cuts

Impact Severely negative for risk assets initially, then explosive rebound

Strategy:
- Cut portfolio by 50%, move to 40% cash
- Retain only Tier 1 high-quality domestic plays
- Exit all Tier 3 micro-caps
- Hedge with Nifty Midcap futures shorts (25% of equity exposure)
When US02Y <3.0%: This is God Mode. Deploy 100% cash.

Scenario 3: Stagflation + Higher For Longer

Signal Inflation re-accelerates to 4%+, Fed holds or hikes

Impact Extremely bullish for commodities, bearish for equities

Strategy:
- Rotate 50% of portfolio to Shilchar Technologies + MCX Gold
- Exit high-valuation growth stocks (Neuland, Azad, Kaynes)
- Hold only capital-light digital infrastructure (BSE, CDSL, MCX)
- Wait for capex cycle exhaustion (Capex-to-GDP >34%) to re-enter Satellite

Final Execution Mantra

Discipline over selection

The difference between 5x returns and 0% returns is NOT stock selection.

It's discipline:

  • Waiting for US02Y <3.0% before deploying (patience)
  • Exiting when FII longs >85% (greed control)
  • Cutting losers at -20% (ego management)
  • Rebalancing winners when >12% of portfolio (risk management)

Monitor weekly. Execute mechanically. Trust the process.
