Trailing returns vs benchmark

This strategyHow often it has beaten the index
Across every rolling holding period in the modelled history — the longer you hold, the more the odds have favoured the strategy.
Not enough track record to compute rolling windows yet.

The quality of those returns
Returns mean little without the ride that earned them.
A Sharpe of 0.16 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.
Under the hood — where the money sits
Spread across the market-cap curve.

Who runs the money
A strategy is only as good as the hand on the wheel.
First Water Capital Fund's AIF approach blends valuation discipline with growth conviction, tilting toward whichever side the cycle is paying for. It is benchmarked to the BSE MidSmallCap but invests with conviction rather than hugging the index.
A focused book of roughly 30–40 holdings means the highest-conviction ideas actually move the portfolio.
A 2-year track record across rallies and drawdowns — positioning shifts with the cycle rather than chasing the last quarter.
Drawdowns are managed deliberately; the worst peak-to-trough on record is kept in check.
A aif strategy with a mixed but improving profile.
Nyra scores First Water Capital Fund - II 7.0/10, on a since-inception CAGR near 18.4%. Drawdowns have stayed contained — size the position so that ride is one you can hold.
Investors with a 5-year-plus horizon who want active AIF exposure and can sit through equity drawdowns.
A double-digit drawdown would test your nerve, or you need ₹1 Cr+ to commit at the SEBI minimum.
A steadier core (large-cap or hybrid) so this can play the higher-conviction satellite in your overall allocation.
