The fund

An IFSCA-regulated global equity fund, anchored by the family.

The fund holds global public equities in US dollars through a regulated structure at GIFT City. The Choice family is its lead anchor investor, and subscribed on the same terms as every other investor.

Purpose

Why the family
anchored a fund.

A family can buy global equities on its own. Doing it through a regulated fund changes what happens between the decision and the return.

01

One structure instead of a hundred decisions

A single regulated vehicle holds the whole global book, rather than the family running dozens of separate positions, conversions and filings from India.

02

Dollars held end to end

Subscriptions convert once, inside the regulated perimeter. The portfolio is denominated, traded and held in US dollars from there on.

03

Tax at the fund, not at every trade

The fund can rotate between holdings without the investor realising a taxable event on each sale, so capital stays invested while a view plays out.

04

The family goes first

Choice is the lead anchor investor. The family’s own capital is in the fund on the same terms as anyone else’s, which is the only alignment that really counts.

The family went in first, on the same terms as everyone after it.

Approach

Public markets
first.

Global listed equities, held in US dollars, concentrated in three sectors, long-only and unlevered. This is how a position gets chosen, sized and held.

01

Public markets first

Roughly four fifths of the book is listed equity. Private positions are taken selectively, alongside the public book rather than instead of it, and account for about a fifth.

02

Long-only, no leverage, no options

We own businesses outright. Returns come from what those businesses do, not from gearing, derivatives or structure, and we never sell short.

03

Research before capital

A proprietary model examines each company’s fundamentals in depth, then tests the strength of the sector it sits in, before anything is committed.

04

Concentrated, inside three sectors

Technology and AI, Healthcare AI, and Renewables and Energy Services. Few positions, each one sized to matter. We would rather understand a handful of companies properly than hold a hundred loosely.

05

Risk is set through beta

Portfolio risk is managed by beta rather than by position count. The fund starts close to the beta of the S&P 500 and raises it only as realised returns build.

06

Dollars, and a long view

The portfolio is denominated and held in US dollars. Every position is taken with a medium- to long-term view, and we do not state a holding period we might not keep.

Roughly 80% of the portfolio is held in US public equities.

The three sectors

Why these,
and nothing else.

One sector compounding, one with an edge, one cyclical. All three are researched from the bottom up, and the fund does not stray outside them.

Core growth

Technology & AI

The largest single driver of US earnings growth, and the spending behind it is budgeted rather than hoped for.

  • AI spending is the biggest driver of US earnings growth — the largest cloud companies plan over $700 billion of capital expenditure in 2026
  • Chipmakers lead the cycle; software companies keep the margins
  • The leaders are listed in US dollars
What we watch

Hyperscaler capital expenditure guidance, and where the margin settles between the silicon and the software.

Healthcare AI

The work of the sector is being rebuilt around AI at the same moment that capital is returning to it.

  • Drug discovery, imaging and hospital workflow are being rebuilt around AI
  • Biopharma M&A reached $130 billion in the first half of 2026, on IQVIA figures
  • The FDA has authorised more than 1,600 AI-enabled medical devices
What we watch

Biopharma M&A volume, and the rate at which the FDA authorises AI-enabled devices.

Renewables & Energy Services

Demand from data centres is growing faster than the grid that serves them, which prices everything that generates or services power.

  • Data-centre electricity use doubles by 2030, on IEA figures
  • Clean-energy investment reaches $2.2 trillion in 2026, on IEA figures
  • Nuclear, LNG and oilfield services gain pricing power
What we watch

Data-centre load growth, clean-energy investment, and pricing power across nuclear, LNG and oilfield services.

Structure

Two feeders,
one portfolio.

GIFT City for investors in India, Mauritius for everyone else. The conversion to dollars happens once, inside the regulated perimeter.

The fund’s feeder structureInvestors in India subscribe in rupees through the GIFT City feeder, a Category III AIF, where rupees convert to US dollars. Investors elsewhere subscribe in dollars through the Mauritius offshore feeder, where tax sits at fund level.

Mandate

So you need
not guess.

The fund does a narrow set of things, deliberately. Rather than let that surface over three meetings, here is the line.

What we will look at

  • Listed equities in technology and AI, healthcare AI, and renewables and energy services
  • Companies listed in US dollars, with the US the portfolio’s geographic concentration
  • Businesses we can model from the bottom up
  • Selective private positions, taken alongside the public book
  • Positions large enough to change the portfolio’s outcome

What we will not

  • Leverage, options and other derivatives
  • Short positions of any kind
  • Sectors outside the three we research
  • Holding a little of everything in order to look diversified
  • A stated holding period
