Deepak Shenoy's Capitalmind to launch Flexi Cap Fund: Who should invest?

Capitalmind Flexi Cap Fund: Deepak Shenoy-led Capitalmind Mutual Fund is set to launch the Capital Mind Flexicap Fund, an open-ended dynamic equity scheme investing across largecap, midcap, and smallcap stocks. The new fund offer (NFO) will open on Friday, July 18, 2025 and close on Monday, July 28, 2025.
The scheme will track the Nifty 500 TRI, which is also tracked by most of the other flexi-cap funds. 'The composition of the aforesaid benchmark is such that it is most suited for comparing the performance of the scheme,' as per the SID.
According to the scheme information document (SID), the investment objective of the scheme is to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity-related instruments across market capitalisation, i.e. large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks. However, there is no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.
As per the scheme risk-o-meter, the funds invested in the scheme will be at very high risk.
The scheme will offer both direct and regular plans. However, each of the plans will offer only the Growth option. It will also have a common portfolio across both plans.
Anoop Vijaykumar will be the designated fund manager for the scheme. He is the chief investment officer (CIO) and equity fund manager at Capitalmind.
During the NFO, investors can invest a minimum of ₹5,000 and in multiples of ₹1 thereafter. Through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), the minimum investment amount required is ₹1,000 and can be increased in multiples of ₹1 thereafter, with a minimum of six instalments required.
According to the SID, if units are redeemed or switched out within 12 months from the date of allotment, a 1 per cent of the Net Asset Value (NAV) will be charged as an exit load. However, no exit load will be charged if units are redeemed or switched out after 12 months from the date of allotment.
Capitalmind Flexi Cap Fund: Who should invest
According to the SID, the fund is suitable for investors seeking long-term wealth creation and investment predominantly in equity and equity-related instruments across largecap, midcap, and smallcap stocks. However, investors should consult their financial advisors if in doubt whether the product is suitable for them.

Capitalmind gets Zerodha's Rainmatter backing after MF debut success

Capitalmind Financial Services Pvt Ltd (CFSPL), a Sebi-registered portfolio manager known for its quantitative investment strategies, has received its first institutional funding through a Series-A investment from Rainmatter, the fintech-focused initiative of Zerodha Broking Ltd. The funding comes on the heels of Capitalmind's mutual fund debut, as its Flexi Cap Fund reopens for subscriptions today after raising ₹45 crore during its New Fund Offer (NFO). Of this, around 75 per cent came through direct plans -- nearly half routed via Zerodha's Coin platform, according to a Capitalmind statement. Direct plans dominate fund inflows The high share of direct inflows reflects investor trust, and also marks a shift in Capitalmind's distribution approach. The remaining 25 per cent of the NFO corpus was raised through regular plans, suggesting early traction among distributors. This is a notable change from Capitalmind's portfolio management services (PMS) business, where distributors account for under 3 per cent of the clientele. The company's flat-fee structure for brokerages is being seen as a step towards making distribution more equitable and transparent. A long-standing relationship The investment formalises a long-standing association between Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath and Capitalmind founder Deepak Shenoy. Shenoy was an early advisor to Zerodha in 2010, and both companies have since shared a focus on investor education. Zerodha's outreach platforms -- including the Varsity education portal, TradingQnA forum, and Zero1 YouTube channel -- have grown in parallel with Capitalmind's content-driven model of blogs, podcasts, and research. Kamath said, "We want to back innovative companies that share our mission of helping Indians do better with their money. My conversations with Deepak about finance and technology started back in 2009, and I've always been impressed by Capitalmind's data-driven, transparent approach. This is a financial investment to support them as they build out their asset management company. In line with Sebi regulations, our stake is capped at 10 per cent, and we will not have a board seat, ensuring their independence." Capitalmind eyes broader retail base Capitalmind's founder Deepak Shenoy sees the Rainmatter investment as a validation of the company's evolution from a financial blog into a full-stack asset management firm. "Nithin's work in sparking my interest in quantitative trading years ago was a pivotal moment for me," Shenoy said. "Having Rainmatter invest in our vision is a powerful validation of our journey. This capital allows us to accelerate our mission of filling a crucial market gap. The professional fee-only advisory ecosystem hasn't scaled as hoped, leaving investors to navigate a complex landscape. We aim to bridge that gap through accessible, solution-oriented products, much like the target-date funds discussed in Sebi's recent consultation paper." Distinct strategies for mutual fund and PMS businesses Capitalmind plans to operate its mutual fund and PMS businesses on separate tracks. The mutual fund arm will focus on scalable retail products, while the PMS division will continue targeting HNIs and ultra-HNIs with customised asset allocation strategies that emphasise tax efficiency. The PMS segment currently manages over ₹450 crore, largely through baskets of mutual funds. Though Capitalmind accounts for just 0.5 per cent of the PMS industry's discretionary AUM, Shenoy sees far more scope in the retail mutual fund space. With industry projections estimating a 15 per cent CAGR, taking total AUM to ₹200 trillion over the next seven years, Shenoy believes capturing even 0.5 per cent of that future market could translate to ₹1 trillion in assets -- a significant milestone for the firm.

Donald Trump tariffs: Possible alternatives for India to replace Russian oil imports

India, which gets more than a third of its oil imports from Russia, is likely to turn to supplies from the Middle East and Africa and other regions if it is forced to cut Russian imports due to possible US penalties. US President Donald Trump has slapped an additional 25 per cent tariff on goods coming from India as penalty for New Delhi's continued buying of Russian oil.(PTI) WHY IS INDIA IMPORTING RUSSIAN OIL? India turned to purchasing Russian oil sold at a discount after Western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow and shunned its supplies over its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russia has become the top supplier to India, accounting for about 35% of India's overall supplies, up from less than 2% before the war in Ukraine. Global crude prices surged to $137 per barrel on supply shortage fears in the wake of the Western-led sanctions before stabilising. The discounted Russian crude has reduced Indian refiners' costs. India imports more than 85% of its oil needs. HOW MUCH RUSSIAN OIL DOES INDIA BUY? The world's third biggest oil importer and consumer received about 1.75 million barrels per day of Russian oil in the first half of this year, up 1% from a year ago, trade data showed. While Indian state refiners buy Russian oil from traders, private refiners Nayara Energy and Reliance Industries Ltd, operator of the world's largest refining complex, have long-term supply deals with Rosneft. WHY DOES TRUMP WANT INDIA TO CUT RUSSIAN OIL IMPORTS? US President Donald Trump has said he would raise the tariff charged on goods imported from India substantially from 25%, in view of New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil. He has warned that countries purchasing Russian exports could face sanctions if Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine. New Delhi has resisted the pressure, citing its longstanding ties with Russia and its economic needs. However, the country's state refiners have paused buying Russian oil. WHAT ARE INDIA'S OPTIONS IF IT CAN'T BUY RUSSIAN OIL? Besides Russia, India buys oil from Iraq - its top supplier before the war in Ukraine followed by Saudi Arabia - and the United Arab Emirates. Indian refiners mostly buy oil from Middle Eastern producers under annual deals with the flexibility to request more supply every month. Since Trump's sanctions warning, the refiners have bought crude from the United States, Middle East, West Africa, and Azerbaijan. India has diversified its sources of supply to about 40 countries, oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says, adding that more supply is coming onto the market from Guyana, Brazil and Canada.
