How the book is built
Outright equity, little hedging.
Each future and option is matched to the stock it is written on, and coverage is measured by contracts against shares held: the file shows options at their premium, which would make a collar over half the book look like well under 1% of it.
Asset mix, % of net assets
- Equity held +62.0%
- Net receivables +13.2%
- Cash & TREPS +12.9%

Stocks held, by industry
Net assets by portfolio date: Sep 2026 ₹125 cr · Aug 2026 ₹104 cr
From the house's own portfolio statement; SIFs must publish one at least every alternate month-end. Futures are counted at full contract value, so net equity exposure is equity held plus futures. Options are shown at their premium value, not their market exposure, so they are left out of that figure.
Growth of ₹100 since inception
2026-09-01 → 2026-10-22
| Since inception | Return | Max drawdown |
|---|
All rebased to ₹100 at the SIF's inception. SIFs are long-short (hedged) and aim for a smaller max drawdown rather than out-running a fully-invested fund/index in a rising market, so weigh the drawdown column alongside return.
