Investment philosophy

Spark's Flexi Cap approach blends valuation discipline with growth conviction, tilting toward whichever side the cycle is paying for. It is benchmarked to the NIFTY 50 Total Return Index but invests with conviction rather than hugging the index.

Conviction over the index

A focused book of roughly 30–40 holdings means the highest-conviction ideas actually move the portfolio.

Through the cycle

A 7-year track record across rallies and drawdowns — positioning shifts with the cycle rather than chasing the last quarter.

Risk first

Drawdowns are managed deliberately; the worst peak-to-trough on record is kept in check.

Nyra's read

A flexi cap strategy with a mixed but improving profile.

Nyra scores Spark - Flexicap 6.5/10, on a since-inception CAGR near 15.2% and a 3-year CAGR of 14.8%. Drawdowns have stayed contained — size the position so that ride is one you can hold.

Best suited to

Investors with a 5-year-plus horizon who want active Flexi Cap exposure and can sit through equity drawdowns.

Mind if

A double-digit drawdown would test your nerve, or you need ₹50 L+ to commit at the SEBI minimum.

Pairs well with

A steadier core (large-cap or hybrid) so this can play the higher-conviction satellite in your overall allocation.

What investors say
I held two PMS for four years and couldn't tell you why. One 15-minute review showed me the overlap, the real post-tax number, and one fund worth replacing. Nobody had ever shown me that math.
