Mumbai/GIFT City, June 9, 2025 — Artha Bharat Investment Managers IFSC LLP, a premier alternative investment firm backed by renowned fund managers Sachin Sawrikar and Nachiketa Sawrikar, has launched the Artha Global Multiplier Fund — a long/short hedge fund designed to help NRIs (Non-Resident Indians), OCIs (Overseas Citizens of India), PIOs (Persons of Indian Origin) and Foreign investors gain strategic exposure to the high-growth U.S. equity markets. This is one of the first offshore dedicated fund being launched and managed from GIFT city by any International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) registered Fund Management Entity.
“As one of the largest GIFT city registered Fund Management Entities with full fledged IFSCA regulated operations, we are in a prime position to provide global investors access to a differentiated investment proposition in the world’s biggest stock market. The U.S. stock market not only represents nearly 74% of the MSCI World Index but has also consistently outperformed Indian markets over long investment cycles,” said Sachin Sawrikar, Managing Partner at Artha Bharat Investment Managers IFSC LLP. “This fund empowers global Indians to invest in the world’s largest and most dynamic equity market — the United States — through a diversified, professionally managed strategy.”
The Artha Global Multiplier Fund is a hedge fund for NRIs that invests in liquid U.S. equities, event-driven strategies, and derivatives. It focuses on six major U.S. market themes:
- Technology and Retail
- Consumer Staples & Discretionary
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Innovation
- Financial Services
- Healthcare & Biotechnology
- Renewable and Clean Energy
“Consumer spending drives 70% of the U.S. GDP, making it a resilient and lucrative segment. This fund will actively target companies benefiting from strong consumer trends,” added Sachin Sawrikar.
Nachiketa Sawrikar, the fund’s manager, brings over 24 years of global finance experience, including leadership roles in U.S.-based firms and Indian fund houses. An IIM Ahmedabad MBA, Osmania University engineer, and CFA charterholder, he has deep expertise in U.S. markets.
“The Artha Global Multiplier Fund aims to generate absolute returns regardless of market direction by leveraging opportunities in equity stocks, index futures, and CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) futures,” said Nachiketa. “We use derivatives not only to amplify gains but also to limit downside risk.”
With leverage ranging from 50% to 150%, the fund is structured for sophisticated investors, not retail participants. Artha Bharat has back-tested its strategy to ensure robust performance and capital protection.
Artha Global Multiplier Fund is positioned as a smart, diversified investment solution for Indians abroad seeking access to U.S. stock market growth, with institutional-grade risk management and sectoral insights.
The scheme will be subject to a 2% management fee and 20% share of investment management company on returns above the 10% hurdle internal rate of return.
