Pooled Resources: AIF is a pooled fund – which means that funds from all investors are pooled and invested as a whole. Each investor is allocated units after the cycle’s funds are mobilized. Due to its pooled structure, resources and efforts that are spent on the portfolio are enjoyed by all investors in a cycle.
AIF: Alternative Investment Fund
Alternative Investment Funds in International Equity
After handsomely beating market indices and generating alpha returns for our investors for more than a decade, by identifying the right and hidden opportunities in the Indian equity market, now Aequitas has launched a new product with the intent to deliver similar results in the Far East markets.
We are excited to present our new products, Aequitas Far East Trust and Aequitas Far East International Trust , a restricted scheme (Non-Retail) construed as an open-ended Category III AIF under the IFSCA (International Financial Services Centres Authority) FM regulations, managed by Aequitas Investments IFSC Private Limited, which is registered with IFSCA as a registered fund management entity (non-retail). The fund will focus on eastern markets.
We take great pride in the performance achieved by our product, Aequitas Equity Scheme 1 (AIF) in the Indian equity markets which completed 5 years in March 2024. Embarking on this AIF journey in March 2019, with a fund corpus of $6 million and, in 5 years, commanding a fund AUM of more than $100 million, validates the robustness of our investment philosophy and trust shown by our investors, which has helped us navigate turbulent market cycles over the years.
AIF (Alternative Investment Fund) offers multiple benefits compared to other schemes, such as:
-
-
Hassle Free: Due to the presence of a fund structure, taxation happens at the fund level. This means the investor can enjoy the gains without having to worry about taxation.
-
Diversified Portfolio: At Aequitas we believe in investing with a significant margin of safety. In order to mitigate risks we construct well-diversified portfolios consisting stocks across sectors with the potential to generate outsized returns.
