The objective and purpose of the fund is to carry on the activity of an open-ended Category III AIF, and for this purpose, to make, manage, and dispose of investments with a view to achieve long term capital appreciation and to deliver superior risk adjusted returns though a bottom-up stock selection methodology.
The Fund will seek to achieve long term capital appreciation by primarily investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related securities, listed on the recognized stock exchanges. The fund may also selectively buy securities of late-stage pre-IPO companies, subject to applicable laws.
The portfolio manager’s core strategy is to identify businesses with deep, entrenched ‘moats’ around them which may be in the form of brands, distribution, technology or market share through which it is able to maintain its competitive edge in an industry.
These ‘moats’ usually allow businesses to generate high return on capital and consistent free cash flows which drives share price performance over the longer term.
The fund has the ability to invest across large, mid and small cap stocks.
The objective is to be absolute return oriented. However, as a metric of comparison, our benchmark is the NIFTY 50. The prime focus is to provide long term sustainable returns to our investors based on a maximum stock universe of 30 securities in order to diversify risk.
The objective of this portfolio is to generate capital appreciation over the medium to long term by investing in equity and equity related instruments in the Indian public markets. The portfolio manager would be adopting a flexible investment strategy with the ability to invest across large, mid and small cap stocks.
On a selective basis, the portfolio manager would also have the option to invest up to a maximum of 10% of the committed portfolio corpus in IPO, Pre-IPO and private equity related transactions. The investment strategy would be largely bottom-up, as the investment thought process within the firm, over the long term, is that the share prices are driven by the quality of the business and its earnings.

An investor’s objective under this portfolio is to generate capital appreciation over the medium to long term by investing in select equity shares and equity related instruments in a concentrated manner. The portfolio will typically have less than 30 stocks, however, in the case of a portfolio transition the number of stocks could be more. The target segment of investment ideas would be bottom-up and market cap agnostic.
