Independent Ideas, Compounding Returns
Caprize Infinity Investment Trust (IN/AIF3/25-26/1987) is a SEBI-registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund registered in December 2025, managed by Caprize Investment Managers Private Limited — a Mumbai-based financial services firm founded in 2020. Caprize operates as a SEBI-registered Research Analyst (INH000015446) and now an AIF manager, offering equity research-driven investment management services to UHNIs, family offices, corporates, and HNI investors. The firm is co-founded by Paras H Chedda and Saarthak A Kothari, with Piyush V Mehta as Director & CIO, Sharad Tripathi (Sharad Kumar Tripathi) as Director, and Purves Chaudhari as dedicated Fund Manager for the AIF. Caprize has built a strong track record through its smallcase portfolio and research practice — with winners including Gravita India (4x), Insolation Energy (7x), E2E Networks (3.5x), and Sambhv Steel Tubes (>3x). The firm has a combined 50+ years of team experience across Edelweiss, Nuvama, Motilal Oswal, Emkay, Kotak, and Systematix, with deep expertise in mid and small-cap equity investing, proprietary modelling, and management-level company access.
Caprize's investment philosophy is anchored in independent thinking and disciplined research — deliberately avoiding market noise, media sentiment, and short-lived trends. The firm identifies structurally strong businesses early and holds them long enough to unlock compounding value. The framework combines fundamental analysis with quantitative reasoning, focusing on companies with strong earnings growth, favourable business cycle positioning, and attractive valuations. Key pillars include trend analysis, management interaction, on-site company visits, rigorous risk assessment, and continuous monitoring. The AIF's Fund Manager Purves Chaudhari's approach is influenced by 'Return on Growth' and 'Rate of Change' frameworks — targeting inflection points where fundamentals, earnings trajectory, and market perception shift meaningfully. The fund avoids benchmark constraints and seeks uncommon perspectives in Indian small and mid-cap companies.
