1. JPMORGAN India Alpha Fund The all-seasons fund for any market condition
2. 1 JPMorgan India Alpha Fund: What does it do? Market risk has risen sharply: the growth/return expectations of the past is now tempered by the risk of volatility
Market volatility could continue in the near future
Long-only funds look through the volatility: Alpha funds take advantage of the volatility
The “ALPHA” fund: an investment avenue that aims to deliver returns in all seasons by making “paired trades” based on common trends
3. 2 JPMorgan India Alpha Fund : How does it work? Based on our research we identify an economic trend
Which benefits one stock, but harms another
We then create “paired trades”
We buy stocks / futures of the company that is benefiting
We sell / short the stocks/ futures of the company that is losing
We try to remain market neutral in rupee terms by re-balancing the “paired trades” daily
Pair trades can also be done on stocks and indices
Basic premise: “Generate returns” in all market conditions
4. 3 JPMorgan India Alpha Fund PRG Process extended
The best stock selection methodology now works to identify non-performers & pairs them with performers to generate returns for you
5. 4 Investment philosophy: Portfolio construction At some points of time, the net position in value terms will be close to zero as the fund endeavors to neutralize the market risk as an integral part of the strategy
The portfolio at some point of time could have a higher cash component (apart from margin money) as the fund manager may not foresee any good market neutral strategy
6. 5 Investment strategies Strategy A:
Long stock
Short stock futures
Strategy B:

7. 6 Investment scenario: Portfolio returns Situation A: Stock A – long stock futures; stock B – short stock futures
Post trade, price of stock A goes up and post trade, price of stock B goes down
This is a best case scenario, where such trades will result in profits in both the legs of the trade resulting in super normal profit
Situation B: Stock A – long stock futures; stock B – short stock futures
Post trade, price of stock A goes up more than stock B
Relative out performance of stock A compared with stock B
Situation C: Stock A – long stock futures; stock B – short stock futures
Post trade, price of stock A goes down less than stock B
Relative out performance of stock A compared with stock B
Situation D: Stock A – long stock futures; stock B – short stock futures
Post trade, price of stock A goes down while stock B goes up (worst case scenario)
Trade going the other way (our fund managers unwind positions quickly, based on internal risk management norms)

16. 15 Product positioning This product is an ideal fit for any investor who owns equity mutual funds or direct equity in his portfolio
It is a complement to the existing long-only portfolio as it endeavors to reduce the overall risk (beta) of the portfolio because of the investment strategy
The Fund is meant as an alternate investment targeted at the investor who is worried about the market direction in the mid-term
The Fund would also be ideal for institutional investors who wish to take equity exposure but would prefer not to take exposure to short-term market volatility
17. 16 How is the fund different from an arbitrage fund An arbitrage fund endeavors to capture inefficiencies which might be existing in the cash and derivatives markets, whereas the alpha fund endeavors to benefit from active fund management skills
An arbitrage fund takes cash/derivatives positions in the same stock whereas the alpha fund takes positions in cash/derivatives segment in different stocks
18. 17 How is the fund different from a 130/30 fund Exposure :
A 130/30 fund would have maximum 130% long position and 30% short position. As a result, the net exposure (130% long – 30% short) to equities would be maximum 100%, in line with other long -only Funds.
JPMorgan India Alpha Fund will endeavor to have a net market exposure of close to zero (in value terms).
Market risk :
The market risk (beta) remains in case of a 130/30 fund as there are long positions in the funds,
JPMorgan India Alpha Fund will endeavor to minimise market risk (in value terms) due to the pair trade strategy..
