Investment Strategies:
Our breadth of products and services are backed by rigorous research and analysis from across the Kotak Group.
We currently offer India funds across 6 strategies:
With a long only outlook, we manage India funds across large capitalization and mid-capitalization biases, a fund without a capitalization bias, a series of concentrated funds and thematic funds (across sectors like infrastructure & realty). We also manage a Shariah-compliant mandate. More
With this strategy, we seek to invest in listed, under-researched mid–market companies in India through secondary markets, PIPE, and IPO using a private equity approach. The investment team seeks to provide active post-investment value-add to investee companies where feasible. More
Under this strategy, we seek to generate absolute return by exploiting the growth in the Indian economy and the price inefficiencies in the Indian stock market while managing risk during volatile periods to limit draw-downs. With a mix of varied strategies like Core Equity, Long/Short Equity, Limited Risk, and Cash/Arbitrage give the product a multi-dimensional nature, allowing it to adapt to different stages of the market cycle. This allows it to generate an absolute positive under different market conditions. More
Our arbitrage strategy seeks to generate moderate INR returns with low volatility. By evaluating the difference between the price of a stock in futures and spotting markets, we enter into trades where the carry yield is higher than that of cash funds. Depending on the opportunities available, we may square off or roll over the positions. More
Under this strategy, we offer a wide selection of bonds that let investors diversify their investment risks and gain a stable return under the ever-changing economic conditions. The range of bonds offered includes quasi-government bonds, bonds issued by Indian companies, bonds from other countries like China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Middle East etc. Investors can choose to invest in different bonds according to their financial needs and risk acceptance levels.
Our trading teams consist of accomplished professionals with experience in a wide range of Fixed Income instruments with particular expertise in corporate bonds issued by Indian companies. The team works closely with colleagues across different offices in Singapore, Dubai and London to ensure that it delivers excellence in all kinds of bond offerings. Our on-ground presence and in-depth knowledge and experience of the Indian markets, allows us to maintain an enviable position as one of the key players in Indian bond offerings.More
In the current scenario, the Indian debt market provides an opportunity to global investors for investments with various time horizons and risk profiles ranging from short term liquid funds, fixed term funds, to long term debt funds. These products offer differential risk and return options based on the interest rate movements, currency movement and the investment horizon. 12 month closed ended funds are available for investors with a low to medium risk profile where investments are primarily made into fixed term instruments maturing within the life of the product. Long term debt funds are available to investors who have a directional view on interest rates as the performance of the fund is dependent on changes in interest rate apart from income, if any, generated through income yielding instruments. It should be noted that investments in India are subject to the usual risks associated with emerging markets, including but not limited to risk of losing some or all of the capital invested. More
All funds are capital at risk funds subject to the normal risks associated with India, including, but not limited to, high market volatility, variable market liquidity, geopolitical risks (including political instability), credit risks, interest rate risks, exchange rate fluctuations (USD/INR), changes in tax regime and restrictions on investment activities of foreign investors. Detailed information on investment risks is disclosed in the fund documentation.
