AlphaGrep Mutual Fund has launched the AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund, a new open ended equity scheme that will invest across large cap, mid cap and small cap companies. The NFO opens on 21 July 2026 and closes on 4 August 2026.
The fund is managed by AlphaGrep Investment Management Private Limited, the asset management arm of the AlphaGrep group. AlphaGrep is better known for quantitative and algorithmic trading, and this flexi cap launch follows its first scheme, the AlphaGrep Multi Asset Allocation Fund, which opened for subscription earlier this month.
The scheme’s stated objective is to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in equity and equity related instruments across market capitalisation, though there is no assurance this goal will be achieved. Flexi cap funds as a category have drawn strong investor interest recently, with category assets rising sharply through 2025 on AMFI data. For a new, unrated launch in a crowded category, how the fund actually picks stocks matters more than the label on the tin, and that is where this scheme differs from most flexi cap peers.

What has AlphaGrep launched?
The AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund is an open ended equity scheme under SEBI’s flexi cap category. The fund manager can move money freely between large, mid and small cap stocks, without a fixed minimum in any one segment, as long as total equity exposure stays at or above 65%.
This combination, an active flexi cap mandate run on a systematic process, is closer to what a handful of other recent launches, such as Capitalmind Flexi Cap Fund and JioBlackRock Flexi Cap Fund, have also tried, though each firm’s underlying model differs.
If you are still weighing whether a flexi cap fund fits your broader portfolio, our comprehensive guide to mutual funds in India covers how the category sits alongside other fund types, and our mutual fund advisory service can help you evaluate a new launch like this one against your existing holdings.
How does the AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund strategy work?
The scheme information document describes a rule-based framework that uses mathematical models and structured data to guide portfolio decisions, with the explicit aim of reducing the influence of emotion and short-term sentiment on stock selection. In simple terms, the process tries to replace gut-feel calls with a repeatable, testable set of rules.
Step | What happens? |
1 | Data is gathered across the investable universe: financials, prices, other signals |
2 | Stocks are scored on valuation, growth, profitability and momentum |
3 | Extra statistical techniques look for patterns plain factors may miss |
4 | A portfolio is built from top scorers, within position and sector limits |
5 | Risk checks cover volatility, concentration and factor exposure |
6 | Trades are executed with an eye on cost and liquidity |
7 | The portfolio is rebalanced as scores and conditions change |
Portfolio allocation
Asset Class | Allocation Range |
Equity and equity related instruments (large, mid and small cap) | 65% to 100% |
Debt and money market instruments | 0% to 35% |
Gold and Silver instruments as permitted by SEBI | 0% to 35% |
Units issued by InvITs | 0% to 10% |
AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund investment strategy
Risk control is built into the model itself, rather than applied only after a portfolio is constructed, with checks on volatility and diversification across securities and factors.
The scheme may also use derivatives such as index and stock futures and options for hedging, rebalancing and efficient portfolio management. Readers unfamiliar with these terms can start with our finance glossary for plain-language explanations.
Potential benefits of the AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund
Potential benefit | Why does it matter? |
Systematic, rule-based process | Aims to reduce sentiment and bias in stock calls |
Broad market cap access | One fund can hold large, mid and small cap stocks |
Wider data inputs | Uses classical factors plus added statistical techniques |
Built-in risk framework | Risk checks sit inside the model, not bolted on after |
Key risks in the AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund
Risk | What does it mean? |
Market risk | NAV can fall if broader equity markets decline |
Small and mid cap risk | More volatile and less liquid than large caps |
Model risk | Rules and data may not hold; past patterns can break down |
Liquidity risk | Smaller stocks can be harder to buy or sell in stress |
Derivative risk | Futures, options and covered calls add complexity, can cap gains |
Who may consider this fund?
Investor type | Why it may fit |
Wants one diversified equity mandate | Fund holds large, mid and small cap without the investor deciding the mix |
Comfortable with a systematic process | Calls come from a model, not one named manager’s view |
Horizon of 5 years or more | Small and mid cap exposure needs time to smooth out |
Already holds traditional flexi cap funds | Adds a differentiated, process-driven option |
How much of your portfolio, if any, belongs in a fund like this depends on your wider goal-based financial plan, not on this fund in isolation.
Who may not find it suitable?
Investor type | Why it may not fit |
Uneasy with a new AMC | AlphaGrep Mutual Fund has no retail track record yet |
Wants capital protection | Very high risk equity fund, no guarantee on capital or returns |
Horizon under 3 years | Small and mid cap exposure needs a longer runway |
Prefers a named manager’s conviction calls | Calls here come mainly from a model, not a star manager |
Comparison with traditional investment options
Parameter | FD | Debt MF | Hybrid Fund | Equity MF | This Fund |

AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund Review by Zenith Finserve
The AlphaGrep Flexi Cap Fund brings a systematic, rule-based process to a category usually run on a fund manager’s discretionary calls. That is a genuine point of difference, and it may fit investors who want exposure across large, mid and small cap stocks without leaning on one person’s view of where value lies.
This profile fits an investor building a long-term equity allocation, for a goal 8 to 10 years away for instance, who is comfortable that part of the portfolio is decided by data and rules rather than a named manager’s calls.
Investors should weigh their own goals, risk profile and existing equity holdings before committing to a new, unrated fund, ideally as part of a wider investment planning exercise, and should not treat this article as a recommendation to invest.
