Through our Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) structure, we primarily offer long-only investments in a diversified portfolio of listed Indian companies. This strategy presents a unique opportunity for investors to gain exposure to the rapidly growing Indian markets through a highly liquid and well-managed vehicle.

With a seasoned and experienced team, Clarus empowers investors with a robust, research-driven approach to investing in India’s dynamic and evolving economy, prioritizing transparency, efficiency, and consistent returns.

Clarus is ChrysCapital’s long only public market fund. ChrysCapital is India’s largest and most established private equity firm with $5+bn in AUM.
