New India FoF launched New York and Mumbai-based RAS Capital Management has launched a fund of funds providing a multi-manager approach to investing in multiple asset classes in India. While the RAS India Fund-of-Funds is long-biased to capture the fundamental growth opportunities, the firm maintains it is important to manage the volatility and risk associated with the Indian market. According to RAS, the India Fund-of-Funds has been structured to capture significant growth while reducing substantial volatility through a combination of strategies and the selection of the best India-focused managers based around the world within each strategy.

Its multi-strategy approach combines fundamental long/short equity, PIPES, event/ risk arbitrage, multi-strategy arbitrage and distressed debt. The fund allocates to 9-12 underlying mangers with a target net return of 18-20% at a standard deviation of only half of the NIFTY / MSCI India indices. Key personnel include Rohit Aggarwal, a former executive director with Oppenheimer & Co. (New York), Robert Rahbari, a former director and Chief Compliance Officer at Ferro Capital LLC, New York and Anand Sekaran, founder and portfolio manager of Wasson Capital Advisors, New York.
