Sharpe ratio

A Sharpe of 0.23 means it earned a modest return for each unit of risk taken. Size the position so a drawdown of that order is one you can sit through.

Investment philosophy

Ashika's AIF approach blends valuation discipline with growth conviction, tilting toward whichever side the cycle is paying for. It is benchmarked to the S&P BSE 500 Index but invests with conviction rather than hugging the index.

Conviction over the index

A focused book of roughly 60 holdings means the highest-conviction ideas actually move the portfolio.

Through the cycle

A 2-year track record across rallies and drawdowns — positioning shifts with the cycle rather than chasing the last quarter.

Risk first

Drawdowns are managed deliberately; the worst peak-to-trough on record is kept in check.

Nyra's read

A aif strategy with a mixed but improving profile.

Nyra scores Ashika India Select Fund 7.0/10, on a since-inception CAGR near 6.4%. Drawdowns have stayed contained — size the position so that ride is one you can hold.

Best suited to

Investors with a 5-year-plus horizon who want active AIF exposure and can sit through equity drawdowns.

Mind if

A double-digit drawdown would test your nerve, or you need ₹1 Cr+ to commit at the SEBI minimum.

Pairs well with

A steadier core (large-cap or hybrid) so this can play the higher-conviction satellite in your overall allocation.

What investors say
I held two PMS for four years and couldn't tell you why. One 15-minute review showed me the overlap, the real post-tax number, and one fund worth replacing. Nobody had ever shown me that math.
