The WSIF Equity Long-Short Fund aims to generate long-term capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio of equities complemented by selective short positions. The investment strategy maintains a predominant allocation to equities (80–100%) with flexibility to take up to 25% unhedged short exposure via derivatives, along with tactical allocation to debt and money market instruments for liquidity.

The WSIF Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short Fund focuses on opportunities beyond the top 100 companies by market capitalisation. With a minimum of 65% allocation to mid and smallcap stocks, complemented by limited long-short flexibility, the strategy seeks to capitalise on inefficiencies in broader markets while maintaining risk controls.

Both strategies are designed with a dynamic portfolio construction approach, combining fundamental research-driven stock selection with derivative overlays with an aim to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted outcomes across market cycles.

Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) represent a structural shift in the Indian mutual fund industry.

From an investor standpoint, SIFs bring greater sophistication into regulated mutual fund structures by enabling tools such as short selling, dynamic hedging, and flexible asset allocation. These features allow portfolios to better navigate volatility, seek to reduce drawdowns, and aim to generate more consistent outcomes across market cycles, the release said.

“The launch of our SIFs reflects our commitment to bringing more evolved and institutional-grade investment strategies to investors. Given that this is a new category, it also creates a unique opportunity for distributors to engage with clients on differentiated strategies without legacy biases, enabling more meaningful portfolio construction,” said Madhu Lunawat, Founder, MD & CEO, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund.

Adding to it, Chinmay Sathe, CIO – SIF, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund, said, “Our long-short strategies are built for adaptability across market cycles. By combining high-conviction long ideas with tactical short exposures, we aim to deliver more consistent performance while actively managing downside risks. The flexibility within the strategy allows us to dynamically hedge or take directional calls, and in the Ex-Top 100 strategy, we see a strong opportunity set in the broader market where inefficiencies may be more pronounced."

With this launch, The Wealth Company Mutual Fund strengthens its commitment to innovation-led investing by introducing strategies that go beyond conventional frameworks. While traditional mutual funds remain the foundation of long-term wealth creation, SIFs add a powerful satellite layer that may enhance portfolio outcomes and equip investors to navigate increasingly complex market environments.
