Ionic Asset has announced the launch of the Ionic Global Innovation Fund (GIF), a Category-III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) aimed at offering Indian high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), NRIs, family offices, and institutions exposure to global equities through a research-backed, long-term investment strategy.

The fund is structured via a GIFT City feeder and global master fund route, enabling efficient access to up to 35 listed global innovators across the US, Europe, China, and East Asia. It follows a long-only strategy and is both sector- and geography-agnostic. Investors can utilise their Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) and Overseas Portfolio Investment (OPI) limits for overseas diversification.

GIF is built on Ionic’s proprietary M.O.V.E. framework—Moat, Operating efficiency, Valuation, and Earnings—to select fundamentally strong, GAAP-profitable companies with robust cash flows. The current portfolio targets a ~26% return on equity and ~30% average EBITDA margin.

The fund is supported by a 20+ member analyst team, operating under a global research partnership, and offers multiple share classes with varied investment minimums and performance-linked fee structures.
