Fund Overview

EQAR (Equity Absolute Return) is an active equity and equity derivatives approach that relies on intellectual property. It aims to act as a “debt++” solution using equities as the base. The approach uses ways like options trading, special situations, arbitrage, and long-short positions combined with flexible risk allocation to produce steady absolute returns. Indian investors can access the strategy as a Market Linked Debenture (MLD). Offshore investors can access it as a Category III AIF under GIFT City IFSCA with a Singapore VCC feeder.
