Astratinvest Launches Quant Long Short Fund

Astratinvest, a registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) with SEBI, has introduced its flagship offering, the Astratinvest Quant Long Short Fund, with a target of raising Rs 400 crore.

Systematic Investment in India’s Equity Markets

The fund aims to provide a systematic and data-driven method for investors to engage in India’s ever-changing equity markets. It complies with SEBI’s private placement guidelines and is available to eligible investors with a minimum investment threshold of Rs 1 crore, as stipulated by AIF regulations.

Unique Quantitative Framework

The Astratinvest Quant Short Fund is notable for its proprietary, multi-faceted quantitative framework that adjusts to market conditions while enforcing rigorous risk management strategies. This framework incorporates four key engines: Market Strength Quantum (MSQ), Volatility Strength Quantum (VSQ), S1+S2 Selection Engine, and Risk Reward Quantum (RRQ).

Focus on Consistency and Risk Management

This systematic, data-driven methodology presents a disciplined alternative to discretionary and factor-based quantitative strategies, with the goal of providing consistent alpha and robust downside protection in the context of India’s evolving equity market.

Emphasising Structured Investment Strategies

The introduction of this fund aligns with the increasing trend among Indian investors towards structured, data-oriented investment strategies that value consistency and effective risk management over speculative approaches.
