AI-backed Hedge Fund | Boutique Asset Manager using Data Science and AI-powered Solutions.
Alta Cura Ai Trust (SEBI Reg. IN/AIF3/23-24/1418) is a Category III AIF managed by Alta Cura Technologies, a boutique AI-driven asset management firm headquartered at 61, 2nd Floor, Panchkuian Road, New Delhi 110001. It is the firm's second SEBI-registered AIF, alongside its earlier registration IN/AIF3/21-22/0934. Alta Cura Technologies was founded by Raman Nagpal, a computer scientist and co-founder of Accuracap, which manages $230M+ in Indian public equities. The firm's investment strategies are underpinned by proprietary AI and machine learning algorithms adapted from Accuracap's decade-plus track record. Alta Cura's flagship fund, the Alta Cura AI Absolute Return Fund, won the Best AIF CAT 3 Pure Long Short award from PMS AIF World. The fund targets equity-like returns (15%+ gross) with a debt-plus risk profile — aiming for zero negative years and returns uncorrelated to broader markets.
Alta Cura's investment philosophy centres on deploying AI and machine learning algorithms to generate market-uncorrelated absolute returns. The strategy uses four trading buckets, all focused on market-neutral trades, and continuously learns from market data to improve predictive accuracy. The core principles are: (1) equity-like target returns of 15%+ gross; (2) a debt-plus risk profile that avoids negative annual returns; and (3) returns structurally uncorrelated to equity and debt indices. The portfolio is split between highly liquid low-risk debt instruments (C1 bucket) serving as collateral and a trading overlay of AI-driven long-short strategies. The underlying algorithmic framework draws from Accuracap's proven quantitative systems, which have outperformed the Indian equity market over more than a decade, and have been adapted for more trading-intensive absolute return applications.
