The Wealth Company Mutual Fund — one of India's newest AMCs — has launched its first Specialized Investment Fund offering with two simultaneous schemes: WSIF Equity Long-Short and WSIF Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short. Both NFOs opened on April 15, 2026 and close on April 29.
WSIF Equity Long-Short follows a flexicap mandate — investing across the broad equity universe with up to 25% unhedged short exposure via derivatives. WSIF Ex-Top 100 focuses on companies outside the top 100 by market capitalisation, giving mid- and small-cap exposure with a derivative hedge for downside protection. Both are benchmarked to Nifty 500 TRI.
The Wealth Company brings a research-led, fundamentals-first approach to the SIF category. Their advantage as a smaller AMC: ability to take meaningful positions in mid- and small-caps without the market-impact issues that constrain larger fund houses. Worth watching whether that translates into post-launch alpha.
Minimum investment is the SEBI-mandated ₹10 lakh per PAN. The funds will reopen for ongoing subscription five business days after allotment — standard for new SIFs.
