Our Strategies

Category III AIF – Active Investment Strategies

Unicorn Fund operates as a SEBI-registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund, enabling flexible and actively managed investment strategies across market cycles.

Our approach includes:

  • Actively managed listed equity strategies
  • Focus on small-cap and micro-cap companies
  • Tactical allocation based on market opportunities
  • Risk-managed use of market instruments in line with regulations

These strategies aim to generate risk-adjusted alpha through disciplined research and active portfolio management.

Small & Micro-Cap Equity Investing

We specialize in identifying high-growth, under-researched companies in the small and micro- cap segment.

Key features:

  • Bottom-up, research-driven stock selection
  • Long-term growth orientation with active monitoring
  • Focus on scalable business models and strong management teams

This segment offers significant potential due to information inefficiencies and evolving business cycles.

SME IPO & Post-Listing Opportunities

Leveraging our deep understanding of the SME IPO ecosystem, we evaluate and invest in:

  • Select SME IPO opportunities
  • Post-listing investment ideas in fundamentally strong companies
  • Businesses transitioning toward mainboard listings

Our focus is on quality, governance, and sustainability rather than short-term speculation.

Pre-IPO & Unlisted Investment Opportunities

Where appropriate and available, the fund may gain exposure to:

  • Unlisted and IPO-bound companies
  • Pre-IPO placements at early stages of value discovery

These investments are evaluated through rigorous due diligence and are aligned with the fund’s overall risk framework.

Tactical & Opportunistic Strategies

To adapt to changing market conditions, Unicorn Fund may pursue:

  • Short- to medium-term tactical opportunities
  • Event-driven and special situation investments
  • Select derivative and hedging strategies (as permitted)

These strategies help manage volatility and enhance portfolio efficiency.

Multi-Asset Exposure

The fund follows a multi-asset approach to improve diversification and risk management.

Depending on market conditions, exposure may include:

  • Listed and unlisted equities
  • Derivatives and structured strategies
  • Other permitted instruments

This flexibility allows us to align capital deployment with prevailing market dynamics.

Professional Fund Management & Governance

Our services extend beyond investing to include:

  • Institutional-grade research and due diligence
  • Transparent reporting and disclosures
  • Strong compliance and governance framework
  • Investor communication and periodic updates

All services are delivered within the framework of SEBI AIF Regulations and applicable laws.
