The fund is being introduced under the Titanium Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) platform and is positioned in the equity long–short category. It aims to generate medium- to long-term capital appreciation by dynamically managing net equity exposure, which can range from -25% to 100% depending on market conditions.
The new fund offer (NFO) opens on April 27 and will close on May 11.
The product is designed for investors with a very high risk appetite and requires a minimum aggregate investment of ₹10 lakh across SIFs at the PAN level within an asset management company.
According to the fund’s structure, at least 80% of the portfolio will be allocated to listed equities on a gross basis. The strategy also allows hedging through derivatives and permits unhedged short positions of up to 25% of the portfolio.
Overall gross exposure will be capped at 100% of net assets in line with SIF regulations.
The fund will be benchmarked against the Nifty 500 Total Return Index, reflecting its broad-based investment universe.
Company officials said the strategy is designed to reduce dependence on overall market direction by combining long and short exposures. The approach allows the fund to increase net equity exposure during favourable market conditions and reduce it during periods of elevated valuations or higher risk.
The Specialised Investment Fund framework, introduced by Securities and Exchange Board of India, enables asset managers to offer more flexible and sophisticated strategies compared to traditional mutual funds, while retaining similar tax treatment.
However, these products are targeted primarily at affluent and high-net-worth investors and carry relatively higher risk, including potential loss of capital and liquidity constraints.
