Mumbai, Mar 6: 360 ONE Mutual Fund announced the launch of the DynaSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short Fund, a Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) strategy designed with an aim to deliver long-term growth and income generation while aiming to limit downside risk through dynamic asset allocation and disciplined risk management. The NFO opens on March 06, 2026 and closes on March 20, 2026.
360 ONE Mutual Fund had earlier launched DynaSIF Equity Long–Short Fund, on Feb 06, 2026, an open-ended equity investment strategy designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through selective long and short positions in listed equities and equity derivatives.
Today’s investment environment is defined by faster interest rate cycles, sudden volatility spikes, shifting correlations, inflation uncertainty, and liquidity shocks. In this context, investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional fixed-income products that may offer lower volatility, and adaptive portfolio construction.
The DynaSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short Fund seeks to address this need by actively allocating across equity, debt, commodities, and alternative instruments, such as InvITs, while deploying derivatives strategies with an aim to manage risk and generate risk-adjusted returns in the long term.
Investment Approach & Portfolio Construction
The strategy adopts a flexible and actively managed allocation framework. The portfolio construction is dynamic and may evolve based on market conditions within the limits specified in the ISID.
How does the strategy aim to manage risk?
The fund may integrate multiple layers of risk management:
- Long-short positioning: Equity long-short strategies aiming to capture potential alpha while reducing beta and market sensitivity.
- Diversified exposure: Equity and commodity allocations diversified to mitigate single-instrument risk.
- Hedging framework: Use of options (including covered calls), arbitrage, and commodity hedges to minimize directional risk.
- Dynamic asset allocation: Allocation between asset classes will be actively managed, based on macro developments, liquidity trends, volatility regimes, and asset outlook.
Raghav Iyengar, CEO, 360 ONE Asset Management Ltd, said,
“Investor needs are evolving in response to structurally different markets. The traditional 60:40 construct is increasingly challenged by shifting correlations and sharper rate cycles. With DynaSIF, we are introducing a solution that aims to blend growth and income with active risk management — a portfolio architecture built for resilience. At 360 ONE, our endeavour remains focused on delivering disciplined, long-term value creation for our clients.”
Anup Maheshwari, Co-Founder & Chief Investment Officer, 360 ONE Asset Management Ltd, said,
“The strategy is built around flexibility. By dynamically allocating across equities, debt, commodities and derivatives, we seek to adapt to changing macro regimes rather than remain confined to static allocations. Risk-adjusted return and not just absolute return, is central to our investment philosophy.”
Harsh Agarwal, Fund Manager, DynaSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short Fund, commented,
“The fund’s focus is to generate returns in the long term with low volatility. We aim to achieve this through disciplined diversification across asset classes and individual securities, partial hedging of equity and commodity exposures, and the execution of long-short strategies to capture potential alpha with lower beta. The fund is suitable for risk-conscious investors seeking relatively stable returns as compared to equity funds.”
