What This Platform Is
Tequity is an independent investment research and distribution platform focused on a specific niche: deep mutual fund analytics, Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs), and outbound investing through Gift City.
Every analysis here starts from primary data, AMFI portfolio disclosures, SEBI filings, RBI circulars, exchange data, and builds up from there. No content is sponsored by a fund house. No AMC pays for research coverage or placement.
The investors who find this useful are those who already have significant portfolios and want to understand what is actually inside the funds they own, not just what the marketing material says.
What We Cover
Deep Mutual Fund Analytics
Monthly AMFI portfolio disclosures contain more information than most investors ever see. We extract that data and turn it into actionable analysis: concentration by stock and sector, how a manager's conviction has shifted, what changed between last month and this month, and how a fund compares to similar funds on the same data.
The goal is to surface what the portfolio actually is, distinct from what the fund house says it is.
Specialised Investment Funds
SIFs are India's first regulated long-short mutual fund category, introduced by SEBI in 2024. They can go both long and short on equities using futures, run money market carry books alongside equity, and serve a fundamentally different investment objective than regular equity funds.
We publish independent analysis of SIF portfolios: what the net long exposure tells you, how the short book is constructed, whether the strategy is coherent, and how to read a monthly disclosure without a finance degree.
Outbound and Gift City Investing
For Indian residents and NRIs looking at international exposure: Gift City AIFs, international mutual funds, and the evolving regulatory framework for overseas investment. This is an underserved area of financial content in India, and one with meaningful structural tailwinds as the Gift City ecosystem matures.
Independence
Tequity is an AMFI-registered Mutual Fund Distributor (ARN-245270). Revenue comes from trail commissions paid by fund houses on client assets under advice, the standard distributor compensation structure in India, disclosed under SEBI regulations.
No fund house pays for editorial coverage, placement in research, or content of any kind. Research is produced independently and clients are recommended funds based on their situation, not on commercial arrangements.
Who This Is For
Investors with portfolios above ₹50 lakh who want a second opinion on their allocation before committing. Investors evaluating a new product category, SIFs, Gift City funds, international exposure, who want to understand the mechanics before the marketing pitch. NRIs with India exposure who need someone tracking the regulatory and product landscape continuously.
This is not a platform for first-time investors or those who prefer to be told what to buy without understanding why. The content here assumes you want to think, not just be told.
