The strategy aims to reduce or limit the intervention of humans in the investment-related decision-making process & thereby avoiding human behavioral biases.

Step-3: The composite scores of shortlisted companies are calculated by assigning equal weights to different parameters.

Step-4: At last, a portfolio comprising 30-60 stocks is constructed on the basis of their composite scores while also considering the market capitalization of stocks to have good liquidity.
