Fund Philosophy

Multi-Asset Diversification via Low-Cost Vehicles

The strategy focuses on building a highly resilient portfolio by accessing domestic equities, global markets, fixed income, and precious metals using institutional-grade, liquid Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to maximize cost efficiency and eliminate stock-specific operational risks.

Client Profile-Driven Asset Allocation

The portfolio's structure avoids rigid formulas, dynamically adjusting asset-class weights according to the client’s risk profile and changing macroeconomic realities to ensure optimal asset alignment across varying market environments.

Hybrid Macro and Quantitative Research Engine

The model integrates top-down macroeconomic research with rigorous quantitative screening models to accurately identify undervalued asset classes, structural market cycles, and shifting liquidity trends.

Alternative Yield and Inflation Protection

To cushion traditional equity and debt risks, the strategy actively allocates to alternative, yield-bearing structures like listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), building steady cash flows via interest and dividends.

Unconstrained Geographic and Tactical Agility

The fund capitalizes on cross-border growth and structural currency tailwinds by taking direct international market exposures through structured Fund of Funds (FoF) and global ETFs when domestic asset classes face localized headwinds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about fund investments, performance, portfolio strategy, and investor services.

In compliance with the SEBI regulatory framework governing Portfolio Management Services (PMS) in India, the minimum investment capital required to onboard into the Merisis Smart Blend ETF strategy is ₹5,000,000 (正式 defined as ₹50 Lakhs).

Because the underlying investments rely primarily on institutional ETFs, the fees are listed as NA to allow custom structuring. Onboarding agreements typically feature a hybrid layout combining customized fixed tracking fees with tailored performance options.

While the default schedule reflects an "NA" status—indicating a flexible structure with zero standard exit loads—investors should review their specific discretionary PMS agreement, as terms can be tailored based on customized account setups.

By using ETFs as building blocks, the strategy instantly captures broad indices or entire asset classes. This removes individual corporate governance flaws, minimizes transaction slippage, and ensures deep structural liquidity across the entire portfolio.

The Nifty 50 Total Returns Index represents India's core corporate performance. Using it as a strict hurdle ensures that the multi-asset, risk-mitigated allocations are delivering authentic risk-adjusted returns compared to a purely equity-heavy domestic alternative.
