Investment philosophy

ASK-EOP's Mid & Small Cap 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 Total Return Index but invests with conviction rather than hugging the index.

Conviction over the index

A focused book of roughly 30–40 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 −24.1%.

Nyra's read

A dependable mid & small cap strategy that scores well across our pillars.

Nyra scores ASK-EOP 7.9/10, on a since-inception CAGR near 9.6% and a 3-year CAGR of 9.5%. Its sharpest fall on record is about −24.1% — size the position so that ride is one you can hold.

Best suited to

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

Mind if

A −24.1% drawdown would test your nerve, or you need ₹50 L+ 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.
