Helios Strategic Fund

The Helios Strategic Fund (HSF), our flagship fund, was established in July 2005. HSF is a fundamentally driven, variable long biased, India long short strategy, with a dual objective of generating double digit USD returns and outperforming long only Benchmarks/ETFs over the cycle (in effect, whichever is higher). The Fund has generated strong returns since inception and over different time periods, and outperformed the Indian market benchmarks by a large margin despite average net exposure in the 60s. The strategy is deeply fundamental in nature, and aims to make all performance levers work: longs, shorts, portfolio management, and market beta, as well as risk / exposure management aimed at protecting capital in weaker markets so that the strategy can compound strongly over the cycle.

The HSF has generated significant alpha on both long and short books since inception.

Founders and management team have significant “skin in the game” and are the largest investors in HSF. 

Helios India Equity Fund

Helios India Equity Fund (HIEF), established as a Singapore VCC, was launched on 17th July 2025. It aims to outperform over the long term the performance of iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA US). 

HIEF invests in on-shore India equity mutual funds managed by Helios (including, but not limited to, the Helios Flexi Cap Fund) and in equities and/or listed equity futures of Indian companies.

HIEF aims to access the full breadth of local expertise and stock ideas from Helios’ investment team, including Helios’ India based PMs. As such, HIEF is comparatively more diversified than the typical strategy managed by Helios, and may carry exposure to a comparatively greater number of unique, under-the-radar, often smaller cap names.

Founders and management team have significant “skin in the game” and are the largest investors in HIEF. 

Helios Low Beta Strategy

Helios’ Low Beta Strategy started trading in a managed account 13th March 2026 onwards. The strategy targets double digit annualized returns with low beta, low/negative correlation to INDA US, MSCI India and MSCI World Indices, and minimised FX risk.

Managed Solutions

Helios is well set up to manage bespoke Long Short and Long Only mandates in line with client objectives.

This fund is presently available for investment for the Helios team and their families and friends. The Helios Global Alpha Fund adds to our edge in investing in India.
