== Investment strategy ==

Kedia strictly adheres to SMILE as a principle in investing; which translates into Small in size, Medium in experience, Large in aspiration and Extra-large in market potential.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/58784177.cms|title=Kolkata Man with a SMILE best at spotting multibaggers on D-street|website=Economic Times|language=en-US|access-date=2017-05-22|last1=Oberoi |first1=Rahul }}</ref> On his investment strategy, Kedia said: "One should scout for companies which have good management... Find a very good management, a very honest management and see the product in which the management is going to grow, going to outperform its peers and the economy... invest in those companies for the next 10–15 years, and you cannot go wrong."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/firms-with-honest-management-best-bet-on-d-street-vijay-kedia/articleshow/63314375.cms|title=Firms with honest management best bet on D-Street: Vijay Kedia|website=Economic Times|language=en-US|access-date=2018-03-15}}</ref> Bet big and ride through tough times is his advice.
