360 ONE Mutual Fund introduces DynaSIF Equity Long-Short Fund under new SIF framework

Mumbai based 360 ONE Mutual Fund has launched a new investment strategy, the DynaSIF Equity Long-Short Fund, marking its first issuance under the Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) regime. The open-ended product is designed for investors seeking long term capital growth through a mix of conventional equity exposure and tactical short positions.

The New Fund Offer will open on February 6, 2026 and close on February 20, 2026. The portfolio will maintain at least 80 percent exposure to listed equities and equity derivatives, while allowing limited short exposure of up to 25 percent via derivative instruments. The strategy also accommodates up to 20 percent allocation to debt and InvITs. The benchmark index for performance comparison will be the BSE 500 TRI and the fund is categorised under Risk Band Level 5.

Raghav Iyengar, Chief Executive Officer of 360 ONE Asset Management Ltd, said the DynaSIF platform responds to evolving market dynamics by combining adaptability with risk awareness. Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer Anup Maheshwari outlined that the SIF framework brings institutional grade risk management and outcome oriented strategies while retaining mutual fund tax and governance advantages.

Harsh Agarwal, Fund Manager for this scheme, explained that the investment approach will combine fundamental research with quantitative signals to guide long and short positions and deploy disciplined derivative use.

Key details for potential subscribers include a minimum cut-off of ₹10 lakh for general investors and ₹1 lakh for accredited investors. The fund will not levy an entry load. Redemptions within three months of unit allotment will attract an exit charge of 0.5 percent, with no charge beyond this period. The taxation will follow equity fund norms under prevailing law.

Under Securities and Exchange Board of India regulations, SIFs are aimed at sophisticated investors and carry a higher entry threshold to reflect advanced investment strategies and market risk.

Investors are advised to examine the offer document and consult financial advisors before subscribing, as the fund’s strategy involves derivative positions and market direction bets.
