Astratinvest, a SEBI-registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), has announced the launch of its flagship offering — Astratinvest Quant Long Short Fund — with a target corpus of ₹400 crore.
The fund is structured under SEBI’s private placement framework and is open to eligible investors with a minimum investment of ₹1 crore, as per AIF regulations. It promises a systematic, data-driven approach to navigating India’s equity markets.
Powered by a proprietary multi-layered quantitative framework, the strategy adapts dynamically to market conditions while maintaining strict risk controls. Its architecture is built on four proprietary engines:
-
MSQ (Market Strength Quantum)
-
VSQ (Volatility Strength Quantum)
-
S1+S2 Selection Engine
-
RRQ (Risk Reward Quantum)
This disciplined model offers an alternative to discretionary and factor-based quant strategies, aiming for consistent alpha generation with strong downside protection.
The launch reflects a broader trend among Indian investors shifting toward structured, quantitative strategies that prioritise consistency, transparency, and risk management over speculative approaches.
