Abakkus Asset Manager is an alpha-focused boutique asset management firm managing ₹38,760 crores (approximately $4.5 billion) in listed Indian equities as of June 30, 2025. Led by its founder Mr. Sunil Singhania along with Principal Officer Biharilal Deora and other team members, the firm operates with a highly experienced and professional team dedicated to generating consistent alpha through disciplined adherence to structured investment processes and robust analytical frameworks. With a vision to become one of India’s most revered and best-performing asset management firms, Abakkus exemplifies the fusion of institutional expertise with entrepreneurial agility, delivering sustained value creation across market cycles.

The firm’s investment philosophy is rooted in six core principles — Alpha Generation, Fundamentals Driven Research, Contrarian Thinking, Agility, Patience, and Risk-Reward Balance. Abakkus emphasizes identifying growth-oriented companies that are fundamentally underpriced, focusing particularly on mid-cap enterprises with scalable business models. Guided by a bottom-up research approach, the firm prioritizes financial strength and long-term earnings potential while consciously avoiding momentum-driven strategies. By investing with the mindset of a business owner rather than a trader, Abakkus fosters a culture of patience, discipline, and enduring conviction in every investment decision.

Abakkus’ distinctive edge lies in its 5D Investing Process and its proprietary MEETS Framework, which comprehensively evaluate investment opportunities across dimensions such as Management quality, Earnings sustainability, Events and emerging Trends, Timing, and Structural potential. The firm’s positioning as an opportunity-driven, sector-agnostic asset manager allows it to flexibly identify themes and sectors aligned with India’s dynamic, entrepreneur-led economy. Backed by a proven track record, a passionate team, and a philosophy grounded in integrity and research depth, Abakkus continues to set benchmarks for excellence in the Indian asset management landscape.
