Since its inception in November 2023, the fund has delivered an annualized return of 19.84% versus the benchmark S&P BSE 200 TRI's return of 13.11%. This reflects a net annualized outperformance (alpha) of +6.73%, validating the manager's catalyst-driven selection model.
Over a 1-year trailing period ending March 2026, the fund posted a return of 14.82% against the benchmark's 7.29%. This represents a substantial 1-year alpha of +7.53%, showing strong momentum during shifting market rotations.
The investment team utilizes a quantitative Business-Management-Valuation (BMV) framework to screen down a universe of 2,500 companies. By applying strict balance sheet and corporate governance filters, it weeds out value traps to establish a high-conviction pool of 25 to 35 target stocks.
The fund targets companies with specific, measurable earnings triggers. These include balance sheet deleveraging, corporate restructurings, regulatory or policy updates, or temporary operational bottlenecks where near-term challenges artificially depress equity valuations below intrinsic worth.
Unlike many closed-ended alternative structures, this strategy is built as an open-ended fund under the Category III umbrella. This design allows for periodic subscriptions and redemptions at prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV) nodes, matching the capital flexibility needs of high-net-worth investors.
