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.
