Our Story
Systematic Investing, India-First
ActiveAlpha is an India-based investment firm specializing in systematic, factor-based equity strategies focused exclusively on Indian public markets. Founded in 2012 by Raghav Kapoor, the firm has built a 13-year live track record that places it in the top decile of all India fund managers.
With world-class quantitative expertise from SAC Capital, Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, Raghav brought systematic investing to a market that was — and largely still is — dominated by discretionary, fundamental approaches.
Today, ActiveAlpha manages capital across multiple vehicles: SEBI-registered PMS strategies, a Mauritius-domiciled offshore fund, and white-label partnerships with global asset managers.

"Factor investing in India is not about importing Western models. It's about understanding India's unique market microstructure and building from the ground up."
The founders are supported by a core team of over a dozen talented professionals, complemented by more than three dozen associates.
Our Philosophy
Conviction Without Compromise
We pioneered factor investing in India 15 years ago when the market was skeptical. We never changed course. Our conviction is rooted in data, not sentiment.
Systematic Discipline
Every investment decision is driven by our quantitative framework. We remove emotion, bias, and noise from the investment process.
India-First Customization
We don't import Western factor models. We build from India's unique market dynamics — promoter holdings, government policy cycles, and monsoon-driven sectors.
Radical Transparency
Our strategies are rules-based and fully transparent. Investors always know exactly what they own and why.
