Apex India for NRIs & OCIs

Own India’s Largest Companies. Directly.

A large-cap equity portfolio that gives NRIs and OCIs direct stock exposure to India's biggest companies, without any pooled investment vehicle in the structure.

Large-cap India Exposure, Built Around Your Tax Reality

For many NRIs and OCIs, the tax and reporting complications of investing in Indian mutual funds make them impractical. Owning Indian stocks directly can offer a more favorable alternative. Apex India takes this route, building a portfolio of India's leading large-cap companies, selected for their scale, governance, and ability to participate in India's long-term growth.

  • Mutual Fund Tax Barriers

    We help NRIs and OCIs invest directly in Indian stocks and avoid the mutual fund structure that can create unfavorable tax treatment and complex reporting requirements in their country of residence.

  • Strategic India Allocation

    We help you build a dedicated allocation to Indian equities, whether you're investing towards goals in India or looking to participate in its long-term growth.

  • Large-Cap Exposure, Simplified

    We build exposure to India's leading large-cap companies, whose scale and financial strength can help moderate volatility and drawdowns, without requiring you to hold every stock in the index.

How Apex India is Built and Managed

  • The Foundation Sleeve (75-80%)

    We invest in the 20 largest NIFTY 50 stocks by free-float market capitalization. These companies have historically driven much of the index’s returns, making them the foundation of the portfolio. Selection is entirely rules-based; no views, no discretionary overrides.

  • The Edge Sleeve (20-25%)

    We select up to 10 additional large-cap stocks from NIFTY ranks 26–100, based on the fund manager’s conviction. This gives us room to act on opportunities we believe can outperform the index, while keeping the portfolio anchored to its foundation.
