We made a humble beginning in the Model of Mutual Fund (hence quasi-mutual fund) space with the launch of our first scheme in August, 2004 with "learning through real investment" in mind. Today we give above average market return of our investors while we are intact in our objectives.

ARTH Fund is a diversified equity scheme which aims to deliver consistent and superior performance through a diversified portfolio of stocks with a bias towards large cap stocks. The large caps portfolio would comprise of blue chip companies, which are undervalued and/or have higher long-term growth prospects. These companies typically are the main force driving India's high economic growth and represent sustainable high profit generation. Their large market capitalization, make their stocks less volatile and are preferred by investors as core equity holdings. In our investment process, the entire emphasis is on disciplined, superior stock selection with the aim of providing consistent investment performance. The overall strategy is to deliver superior performance by taking correspondingly lower risk.
