Investment philosophy
Marcellus's Large Cap approach leans on valuation discipline — buying solid businesses for less than they are worth and waiting for the gap to close. It is benchmarked to the NIFTY 50 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 5-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 −32.24%.
Nyra's read
A dependable large cap strategy that scores well across our pillars.
Nyra scores Marcellus - Kings of Capital 8.1/10, on a since-inception CAGR near 7.1% and a 3-year CAGR of 8%. Its sharpest fall on record is about −32.24% — size the position so that ride is one you can hold.
Best suited to
Investors with a 5-year-plus horizon who want active Large Cap exposure and can sit through equity drawdowns.
Mind if
A −32.24% 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.”
