Rank: #1 of 4 Equity Long Short funds(vs Nifty 500)

What This Means:

Strong downside protection. The fund significantly outperformed its benchmark (Nifty 500) in the crash. Your capital was well cushioned.

Investment objective

To generate long-term capital appreciation from a diversified portfolio that dynamically invests in equity and equity-related securities, including limited short exposure via derivative instruments of companies across market capitalisations. Benchmarked to Nifty 50 TRI. The fund aims for an asymmetric return profile — participating in market upturns while cushioning drawdowns via tactical shorts.

Diviniti runs a dual-portfolio architecture: a Strategic Core of high-conviction long compounders (~55% of AUM) paired with a Tactical Overlay of opportunistic longs (10–40%) and selective shorts (0–25%) via derivatives. Fixed-income and cash equivalents (up to 45%) provide liquidity and tactical positioning.

ITI's back-tested model (Apr 2018 – Aug 2025) shows Sharpe of 1.70 vs 0.78 for Nifty, with annualised standard deviation of 8.10% vs Nifty's 16.88%, and CAPM beta of 0.29. Past back-test is illustrative, not indicative of live returns.

Tactical Shorts

Fixed Income / Cash

Risk Framework
