Every 25%+ small cap correction since 2003 has been followed by a 2x–4x recovery. Phased deployment is designed to capture this opportunity systematically.

India's Growth Case

  • $10T GDP target by 2035 — Base: 8.8% CAGR, Robust: 10.1% CAGR

  • Small & Mid caps: 18.7% earnings CAGR vs 10.4% for Nifty 50

Why Now — The Entry Opportunity

SMID stocks have corrected ~26% since December 2024. ~60% of stocks are down more than 30% as of March 2026 creating a compelling phased entry zone.

Where Wealth Is Actually Created

Earnings growth × multiple re-rating = wealth creation.

ΔEPS  (Earnings Growth)  ×   ΔP/E  (Multiple Re-Rating)  =  WEALTH CREATION

Step 1

Find the Earnings Engine

  • Earnings doubling over 3–5 years
  • Structural sector tailwind as confirmation
  • Above-industry net sales and ROCE growth

Step 2

Enter at Reasonable Valuation

  • Current P/E at a meaningful discount
  • Margin of safety enforced not growth at any price
  • Valuation discount narrows as earnings compound

Result

A Double Engine

  • EPS growth + P/E expansion = outsized returns
  • Asymmetric profile: limited downside, large upside

Four Proprietary Process Tools

Each tool operates in sequence to remove behavioural bias at every stage of the investment decision.

RH Screener

Quantitative filter: CAGR, ROCE, D/E, promoter holding.

RH Scorecard

Valuation check: EV/EBITDA, TTM P/E vs sector history.

RH Risk Radar

Governance, moat, cash flow quality.

RH Pendulum

Dynamic rebalancing + technical entry/exit triggers.

Risk Management Is Structural

Three layers of risk management built in, not bolted on. Risk management reduces but does not eliminate downside risk; loss of capital remains possible.

Layer 1

Entry Risk: Structured Stock Picks

  • Capital deployed in tranches - never all at once
  • RH Risk Radar screens for governance and moat quality
  • Mitigates market-timing and peak-valuation risk

Layer 2

Volatility Risk: Multi-Cap Diversification

  • Pivots to large caps during SMID corrections
  • Closed-ended structure prevents forced selling at lows
  • Seamless rotation within the multicap mandate

Layer 3

Drawdown Management: Selective Hedging

  • Derivatives may be used for hedging purposes up to 50% of Investable Funds (as permitted under SEBI AIF Regulations)
  • Deployed during extended drawdown periods only, not mechanically
  • Reduces drawdown without exiting equity positions

ⓘ Leverage & Derivatives Disclosure

  • The Fund may use leverage up to 2× NAV as permitted under SEBI AIF Regulations.
  • Derivatives may be used for hedging up to 50% of Investable Funds (regulatory limit).
  • Short positions up to 100% of Investable Funds are permitted under the long-short strategy mandate.
  • Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. A 50% drawdown on a 2× leveraged portfolio could eliminate the investor's entire capital. Please read the PPM carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what every investor and distributor should know.

₹1 crore (Class A Units). Higher commitment amounts qualify for different share classes and fee structures.

Resident Indians, NRIs, HNIs, Corporates, Partnerships, Banks, and Institutional Investors. Minimum ₹1 crore as per SEBI AIF Regulations.

6 months from last drawdown, subject to the commitment period. Fund tenure is 6 years from First Closing.

Closed-ended enforces discipline and avoids forced selling at market lows. Phased deployment reduces entry-timing risk — no waiting for the 'right moment.'

Phased deployment mitigates timing risk. Historically, every 25%+ small cap correction since 2003 has been followed by a 2–4× recovery. Waiting often means missing the early phase. Note: this is a historical market observation and is not indicative of future fund returns.

Benchmark-agnostic. 20–35 high-conviction positions (maximum of 10% of Investable Funds per single listed equity), vs 80+ index-tracking stocks. Proprietary 4-tool process removes behavioural bias at every stage.

Three structural risk management layers: phased deployment, large-cap buffer, and derivatives hedging. The PPM permits derivatives up to 50% of Investable Funds; the 10% figure previously referenced is an internal operational preference, not a contractual cap, and is subject to change. Note: these mechanisms reduce but do not eliminate the risk of capital loss.

KYC, signed Contribution Agreement, and financial documentation per SEBI AIF Regulations. Our team guides you through the full process.

PMS: ₹50 lakh minimum, open-ended, individual portfolio. AIF: ₹1 crore minimum, pooled, access to complex strategies including long-short and derivatives.

A full fee summary table is available in the Fund Details section above. Five investment classes (A–E) each offer a fixed-fee and a variable-fee sub-class. Variable-fee sub-classes carry a 15% (Class A–C) or 10–12% (Class D–E) performance fee subject to a 10% p.a. hurdle rate and High Water Mark. Setup Cost (up to 1% of commitment) and Operating Expenses (up to 1% p.a.) are additional costs. All fees are exclusive of GST. Refer to the PPM for the complete schedule.

Category III AIFs have no pass-through status under the Income-tax Act 2025. All income is taxed at the fund level at the Maximum Marginal Rate (~39% inclusive of surcharge and cess). Tax is paid under the Fund's PAN and will not appear in the contributor's AIS/Form 26AS. This differs significantly from direct equity investment (which is taxed at LTCG/STCG rates in the investor's hands). NRI investors should also consider FEMA/treaty implications. Consult your tax advisor for your specific situation.

Registered and regulated by SEBI under AIF Regulations, 2012. SEBI Reg. No: IN/AIF3/25-26/2114. Mandatory disclosures, audits, and periodic valuations. SEBI registration does not constitute endorsement of the investment's merit or guarantee of returns.

Your full commitment is due over the Commitment Period (up to 24 months) via Drawdown Notices, not immediately. Capital is called in tranches as investment opportunities arise. Contributors must fund each Drawdown Notice within 10 business days. Failure to fund within the notice period triggers default provisions, which may include compulsory redemption at a discount and forfeiture of rights. Importantly, Management Fees accrue from First Closing on your total committed capital — not from each individual drawdown date.
