04 Fund managers

Lead fund manager for the mandate

The manager setup matters because equity long-short outcomes depend on stock selection, hedge construction and downside-control discipline.

Hiten Jain

Mandate team

Fund Manager

15+ yrs · B.E. Electronics & Telecom; Global MBA Finance; CFA (USA)

Joined Invesco Asset Management (India) in May 2016. Prior experience includes Global Research & Analytics at CRISIL from August 2010 to May 2016. His background is relevant for bottom-up equity research and the long-book construction described in the SID.

Team lens

Review how equity, debt, arbitrage and hedging decisions are coordinated across the full mandate, not as isolated manager sleeves.

05 Risk framework

Where the strategy can break

Read each risk as an operating condition to monitor. Hedging can change the shape of drawdowns, but it does not remove market, liquidity or execution risk.

Market risk

SIF NAVs can fall with equity, debt, liquidity and sentiment shocks. Hedging can reduce drawdowns but cannot remove market risk.

Derivative and short risk

Futures and options can amplify gains and losses. Unhedged short exposure is capped by the SEBI SIF framework but still needs active risk control.

Liquidity and redemption risk

Many SIFs are interval strategies. Redemption windows, settlement time and underlying portfolio liquidity matter before allocating capital.

Mid and small-cap liquidity

Ex-top-100 and broader equity long-short mandates can face sharper price impact and wider bid-ask spreads during stress.

Manager execution risk

Security selection, timing, hedge sizing and short-book discipline drive outcomes more than in a passive or plain-vanilla fund.

Potential fit

investors seeking a long-biased equity SIF rather than a hybrid SIF

portfolios that want broad BSE 500-linked equity exposure with a tactical short sleeve

investors comfortable evaluating a new Invesco strategy before live NAV history emerges

Investors comfortable with scheme-defined liquidity

Mismatch signals

Capital preservation or guaranteed return expectations

A need for daily redemption flexibility

A short holding period sensitive to exit load and NAV seasoning

An assumption that derivatives always reduce downside

How we are thinking about Summit Equity

01
Summit Equity Long-Short Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity and equity-related instruments, combining directional equity investments with tactical short positions to provide risk-adjusted returns over traditional long-only strategies. The benchmark is BSE 500 TRI.
02
Summit is constructed as an equity-first long-short strategy. The long book is expected to be the main return driver, selected through a bottom-up Invesco process that combines earnings visibility, valuation, capital efficiency and macro assessment. The short book is tactical and derivative-led, with unhedged/non-hedging short exposure capped at 25% of net assets.
03
Summit is classified at Risk Band Level 5 at NFO. That is consistent with an equity-heavy strategy benchmarked to BSE 500 TRI and using tactical unhedged derivative shorts.

Frequently asked questions

What is Summit Equity Long-Short?+

Summit Equity Long-Short is an open-ended equity Specialized Investment Fund that takes long positions in equity and equity-related instruments and uses derivatives for limited short exposure (up to 25% unhedged), managed by Invesco Mutual Fund. It is a SEBI-regulated Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) — a category introduced in April 2025 that sits between traditional mutual funds and PMS. The fund is benchmarked to BSE 500 TRI. Summit Equity launched on July 2026 (NFO).

Is Summit Equity a safe investment?+

High equity-market risk plus derivative risk from short exposure. Volatility is typically lower than a pure long-only equity fund but higher than a debt or hybrid fund. Suited for investors with at least a 3-year horizon who are comfortable with mark-to-market drawdowns. Summit Equity is regulated by SEBI under the SIF framework, has the same custodian, audit and disclosure standards as a mutual fund, and the AMC Invesco Mutual Fund is responsible for managing the fund within its stated mandate. However, "safe" is relative — past returns and crash-period performance are the better guide. See the live performance and Alpha Shield score for Summit Equity above.

How is Summit Equity different from a regular mutual fund?+

Unlike a conventional mutual fund, Summit Equity can take unhedged short positions (up to 25% of NAV) using derivatives. This allows the fund manager to express negative views as well as participate in rising markets. The trade-off is a more complex risk profile and a potentially higher Total Expense Ratio. SIFs follow daily NAV publication, mutual-fund-level governance, and the same tax treatment as the underlying asset class.

How are Summit Equity returns taxed in India?+

Summit Equity is taxed based on its underlying portfolio composition, exactly like a mutual fund of the same category. Equity-oriented SIFs (>65% equity) qualify for equity taxation: 12.5% LTCG above ₹1.25 lakh after 12 months, 20% STCG before 12 months. Hybrid and debt-oriented SIFs are taxed at the investor's slab rate as per the post-April-2023 debt fund regime. See the SIFPrime tax guide for worked examples.

What is the expense ratio (TER) of Summit Equity?+

Summit Equity's Total Expense Ratio is 2.10% on the Direct plan. Direct plans are always cheaper than Regular plans (typically by 50–100 bps) because they do not include distributor commission. Direct plans are recommended for self-directed investors; Regular plans for investors using an MFD.

How can I invest in Summit Equity?+

Summit Equity is currently in its New Fund Offer (NFO) period. Use the invest action on this SIFPrime fund page to create or sign in to your account and place the order from the same page. Research remains public, and the order flow only starts when you are ready to invest.
