Asymmetric Asset Managers

Navigating Uncertainty - Delivering Asymmetry

Who We Are

We are the Investment Manager of the SEBI registered Category III AIF.

Our mission - generate strong & uncorrelated returns.

Our approach - combine long-term fundamental investing with dynamic alpha strategies.

Our method - blends core equity investments - centred around high-growth, well-managed compounding businesses - with tactical overlays including derivatives, momentum, and technical strategies.

This architecture enables us to better adapt to market cycles, hedge risk proactively, and identify asymmetric return profiles.

OUR VALUES

Rooted in trust, guided by transparency, and executed with discipline.

Trust, Transparency & Integrity Above All

Trust is earned through alignment, not words. We invest our own capital alongside investors. Direct, timely communication with unwavering integrity in conduct and fidelity to our principles.

Simplicity Meets Asymmetric Design

Focus on what matters: protect downside, pursue nonlinear outcomes, compound patiently. Simplicity is sophistication—intelligent risk-taking with strict capital protection.

Investment Philosophy

Conviction Over Convention

We are unconstrained by benchmarks, styles, or sectors - our allocations are driven by the opportunity set, not by consensus.

Asymmetry as a Discipline

We don't chase returns. We engineer them through thoughtful risk positioning and dynamic exposure to structural themes.

Risk is Engineered, Not Avoided

Our risk process is rooted in both internal diversification guidelines and selective derivative overlays enabling capital protection without sacrificing upside.

Capital Preservation as a Foundation

Drawdowns are not just accepted risks - they are strategically managed to preserve investor capital and compound returns meaningfully over time.

Cycle-Aware Core Momentum
We allocate capital to high-conviction, momentum-driven ideas within the NIFTY 200 universe. Guided by market cycle analysis, we rotate across sectors and styles to capture asymmetric upside while maintaining liquidity and flexibility.
Technical + Tactical Overlay
Our proprietary "Techno-Funda" model blends technical signals with fundamental insights to identify entry and exit points. This enhances timing, reduces drawdowns, and supports alpha generation across liquid and illiquid portfolios.
Derivatives for Risk + Alpha
We use a mix of systematic and discretionary derivatives not just for protection, but for precision. Options, futures, and spreads serve as tools for volatility management, tactical hedges, and asymmetric return profiles during extreme market phases.

Core Strategy Pillars

Dual Portfolio Construction
We balance liquidity and upside by running two complementary books — a high-churn, technically driven strategy within the NIFTY 200 universe, and a low-churn, deep-research approach in illiquid, non-NIFTY 200 spaces.
Rotational Positioning
Our allocation adapts dynamically across sectors and stocks based on both technical and fundamental signals. This rotation enables us to catch evolving trends early, while filtering out structurally weak segments.
Blended Derivative Strategy
We deploy both systematic and discretionary derivative overlays to control drawdowns, express tactical views, and capture asymmetric return setups across timeframes.
Macro-Thematic Integration
Every position we build is viewed through a macroeconomic lens. We seek exposure to structural themes that persist through cycles — whether inflation regimes, interest rate pivots, or global policy transitions.
"The goal in investing is asymmetry: to expose yourself to return in a way that doesn't expose you commensurately to risk and to participate in gains when the market rises to a greater extent than you participate in losses when it falls."
