How the fund actually invests

WSIF Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short Fund is an open-ended equity strategy that holds a minimum 65% of total assets in equity and equity-related instruments of companies outside the top 100 by market capitalisation, with up to 35% permitted in top-100 names and up to 25% of net assets in unhedged short derivative positions.

The mandate is defined by exclusion. The ISID objective is "To generate long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity and equity-related instruments of stocks outside the top 100 by market capitalization, while utilizing limited short exposure through derivative." The document applies the SEBI Master Circular definitions: large cap is the 1st to 100th company by full market capitalisation, mid cap the 101st to 250th, and small cap the 251st onwards.

The allocation table has four lines, not three. Equity and equity-related instruments of companies excluding the top 100 by market capitalisation (including unhedged short exposure) carry a 65% minimum and 100% maximum of total assets. Top-100 equity is capped at 0-35%, debt and money-market instruments at 0-35%, and InvITs at 0-20%.

The short book is capped at the same 25% as its sibling strategy. Maximum short exposure through unhedged derivative positions in equity and equity-related instruments is 25%. Stock lending is limited to 20% of net assets with no more than 5% to a single approved intermediary, and cumulative gross exposure must not exceed 100% of net assets. The strategy will not invest in overseas securities until the AMC appoints a fund manager for overseas investing.

Daily dealing and no load. Subscription frequency and redemption frequency are both stated as "Daily (only Business days)." Entry load and exit load are both NIL. Units are not proposed to be listed on any stock exchange, and redemption proceeds are dispatched within three working days of a valid request under normal circumstances.

It launched alongside WSIF Equity Long-Short Fund. Both strategies had the same NFO window (15-29 April 2026) and the same allotment date of 6 May 2026. The AMC's Scheme Dashboard as on 30 June 2026 records AUM of Rs 23.64 crore for this strategy and expense ratios of 0.39% (Direct) and 2.10% (Regular), with past-performance rows marked "NA".

Documents & source files

Everything on this page traces back to a document The Wealth Company published. Here they are, so you can read the primary source yourself rather than take our word for it.

When new documents appear. AMCs publish the previous month's factsheet and portfolio disclosure in the first week or so of each month — so from around the 8th you can generally expect the prior month-end file. Our desk re-checks every AMC on that cycle and updates the holdings and figures on this page. Links point to the AMC's own site, so you always land on their current file, not a stale copy of ours.
