How do I use SANJESH when choosing a manager?

The returns record tells you what a manager achieved; SANJESH tells you how. A good choice wants both.

How to combine them

1. Behaviour first: read the SANJESH signals — volume growth after losses, trade density, stop-loss indiscipline.
2. Then results: reread the returns with that lens; a smooth curve with risky behaviour is a warning, not a plus.
3. Then terms: declared rules, fees and the account’s loss cap.

An example of the logic

Two managers with equal returns: one with steady volume and orderly stops, the other doubling volume after every loss. Today their results match; tomorrow their risks do not. That is the difference SANJESH exposes.

Frequently asked questions

Is a manager with no negative signals risk-free? No; absent signals mean “no known risky pattern detected”. Market risk remains.

Is SANJESH the same in every language? Yes; behaviour analysis is independent of the display language.

Can I see the behaviour history? The behaviour passport shows the account’s behaviour over time, not just the latest moment.

Should I trust the long record or the newer SANJESH reading? Both, each in its place: the long record shows what the manager did across different cycles; the newer reading shows whether current behaviour still matches that past. The right decision comes from the intersection of the two, not from picking one against the other.

Summary

Choosing a manager = behaviour + results + terms. For the final review, the choosing-a-manager guide, and for a technical side-by-side, the compare tool.

Three decision sources when choosing a manager

• Track record: what results they achieved
• SANJESH: with what behaviour they achieved them
• Account terms: rules, fees, loss cap
• Read the three together, not separately
• The final choice follows your risk criteria
