NV Alpha Fund was born out of a passion for creating wealth by investing in the Indian equity markets. The team operates with an investor-first mindset, having invested its own capital for over a decade rather than merely managing external funds. The firm has generated superior risk-adjusted, top-decile returns across market cycles by combining disciplined research with active ownership. Its approach reflects a private equity-like mindset — applying rigorous due diligence, deep research, and long-term value creation principles to public market investing. Each portfolio is constructed in a bespoke manner, aligned to the timing of capital deployment and prevailing market cycles rather than following a static model portfolio framework.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY Core Principles: • FOMO Discipline – Avoid herd behavior; invest based on conviction and valuation comfort. • Earnings Triggers – Generate alpha by identifying qualitative and quantitative triggers that can accelerate earnings growth. • Discovery Premium – Track 1,800+ companies to identify investment ideas before they become consensus narratives. • Science & Art of Selling – Exit positions dispassionately when: 1. Valuations significantly front-end future earnings, or 2. The investment thesis does not play out as expected. • Agnostic Approach – Invest across sectors and market capitalizations without bias. • Portfolio Risk Management – Maintain diversification and actively monitor concentration risk at stock and sector levels. The firm prefers partnering with investors who understand that market cycles are inherent to investing and who have a 3–5 year investment horizon.
