Why Safal Digifin

How we work with investors

What we promise our investors, and how the fund is set up to keep those promises.

  1. 01

    Research Driven

    We study markets, sectors and individual companies before we invest. We don't follow the crowd. We buy when we believe in a business and the price makes sense.

  2. 02

    Disciplined Risk Management

    We hedge where it's needed, cap how much goes into any one sector, and the Investment Committee keeps an eye on the portfolio at every stage.

  3. 03

    Multi Asset Exposure

    One fund gives you access to listed shares, pre-IPO companies, IPO allocations and derivative strategies.

  4. 04

    Institutional Governance

    The fund is a SEBI-registered Category III AIF with an independent Investment Committee, a professional fund manager, and regular audits and reporting.

  5. 05

    Transparent Reporting

    You get regular updates on NAV, what drove returns and what was bought or sold. You can also speak to the investment team directly.

  6. 06

    Alignment of Interest

    We earn a performance fee only after investors make more than 12.5% a year. We do well only when you do.
