Conviction over the index
A focused book of roughly 20 holdings means the highest-conviction ideas actually move the portfolio.
Through the cycle
A 8-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 about −27.55%.
Nyra's read
A dependable small cap strategy that scores well across our pillars.

Best suited to
Investors with a 5-year-plus horizon who want active Small Cap exposure and can sit through equity drawdowns.

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.”
