Our Funds 

The Always Seek Value (ASV) Fund is a multi-manager, multi-strategy, Asia-focused fund that seeks absolute returns across market conditions. The fund also aims to achieve uncorrelated results compared to global equities and the diversification of opportunities within Asia including Japan and India. 

The Annapurna Fund is a carve-out of the Indian strategy in our ASV Fund and implements an intraday, high-frequency trading strategy focusing on Indian equity options, with 0% overnight exposure. By harnessing intraday volatility driven by robust retail market activity, the fund delivers outsized returns in a strategy that is seldom available as a stand-alone within multi-strategy funds and prop shops.

The BAA (Balanced Alternative Assets) Fund is designed to deliver returns through strategies with no direct equity exposure. It serves as a complement to our flagship ASV (Always Seek Value) Fund, delivering outsized returns during market corrections and economic downturns. The Fund is dynamically allocated towards funds with strong tail-end performance and enhanced convexity, overseen by established fund managers with strong track records in their respective asset classes.

The BAA Select Platform enables investors to co-invest in individual hedge funds that were originally part of our BAA Fund portfolio and gain more direct exposure to a range of different strategies that suit their unique investment needs. GAO Black Lotus VCC – BAA Fund (Class S) provides exposure to an award-winning commodities fund. 

The CAP (China A-Shares Plus) Fund will mainly invest in quantitative equity long-only strategies in Chinese A-Shares. The underlying strategies seek to capture pricing inefficiencies through analysis of historical patterns, with the aim of exceeding the China A shares benchmark by 10% annually. This multi-manager fund is extremely diversified with more than 300 stocks, with the largest positions being about 1% each.
