The fund is designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through selective long and short positions in listed equities and equity derivatives. According to the AMC, the strategy is sector-, market-cap- and style-agnostic, aiming to generate alpha over the long term by combining structural, cyclical and tactical investment opportunities rather than being constrained to a single investing style.
Harsh Agarwal, the fund's manager, who brings close to two decades of experience in long-short and multi-asset strategies, said the ability to go both long and short allows for more flexible positioning while managing risk more effectively. He described the fund's approach as combining market trend analysis with individual stock research, supported by quantitative signals and disciplined use of derivatives, with the explicit goal of delivering alpha across market cycles over the long term.
A launch built for flexibility, not a fixed style Unlike several rival equity SIFs that have launched with a specific market-cap tilt — such as ex-top-100 or mid-and-small-cap mandates — the DynaSIF Equity Long-Short Fund has been positioned as broadly unconstrained by sector, market capitalisation or investing style, giving the fund managers wide latitude to shift the portfolio's composition as opportunities and risks evolve. Distributors say this flexibility is likely to appeal to investors who want a single, adaptable long-short vehicle rather than several narrowly defined strategies. The AMC has indicated that DynaSIF's build-out will continue beyond this debut fund, with additional strategies expected later in 2026.
