Strategy Overview

Apex is structured as a hybrid long-short strategy with a multi-layered portfolio approach combining equity, debt, arbitrage, and derivatives. The design allows the fund to operate across different market environments by using multiple return drivers rather than relying on a single asset class.

The strategy invests in:

  • Equity and equity-related instruments for capital appreciation
  • Debt instruments for income and stability
  • Arbitrage opportunities to capture pricing inefficiencies
  • REITs/InvITs for yield-oriented exposure
  • Derivative strategies, including limited short exposure in equity and debt

The inclusion of arbitrage and derivatives indicates a focus on risk-adjusted returns, where the fund aims to generate income and reduce volatility alongside growth.

Objective

The investment objective is to generate capital appreciation and income through a diversified hybrid portfolio.

This is achieved by:

  • Allocating across equity and debt markets
  • Capturing arbitrage opportunities
  • Using derivatives for hedging and limited short exposure

The structure is designed to balance return generation with risk control.
There is no assurance that the investment objective will be achieved.
