Fund Overview
Understanding Sundaram AlphaBet Fund - Series I
AlphaBet Series I is a Category III Alternative Investment Fund built around a hybrid approach combining listed equities and secured credit. The strategy is designed around two distinct opportunity sets rather than relying entirely on a single asset class.
The listed-equity component follows a flexible market-cap approach, allowing the portfolio to evaluate businesses across large, mid and selective small-cap segments. The secured-credit component focuses on opportunities supported by underlying assets and cash-flow assessment.
For investors evaluating Alternative Investment Funds, the fund's structure is best understood as a research-led hybrid framework with active portfolio positioning and risk discipline.
Hybrid Investment Approach
Combines listed-equity opportunities with secured-credit exposure.
Flexi-Cap Equity
Can evaluate listed businesses across large, mid and selective small-cap segments.
Active Portfolio Positioning
Portfolio positioning can evolve with market conditions, opportunity availability, liquidity and risk considerations.
Hybrid Framework
Why Combine Listed Equity and Secured Credit?
Markets do not behave uniformly across cycles. Equity valuations, business fundamentals, liquidity and credit opportunities can evolve differently over time.
A hybrid investment framework allows the strategy to evaluate opportunities across two distinct investment sleeves rather than depending on a single portfolio engine.
Listed Equity
Participation in Business Growth
The listed-equity sleeve evaluates publicly traded businesses through bottom-up research and seeks opportunities across market-cap segments. The emphasis is on the investment case for individual businesses, not passive benchmark replication.
Secured Credit
A Complementary Credit Component
Secured-credit opportunities are evaluated with emphasis on underlying security, assets, repayment visibility and cash flows. The credit sleeve adds a different opportunity set within the broader investment framework.
The hybrid framework combines two different opportunity sets within one actively managed Category III AIF strategy.

Credit opportunities are evaluated with emphasis on appropriate security arrangements.
