September 16, 2024

New York, NY, September 16, 2024 – Shikhara Investment Management (“Shikhara”, the “Firm”) is pleased to announce the launch of its first Asia investment strategy (the “Strategy”). This announcement marks a significant milestone for the company, which was founded in November 2023 by Rahul Chadha, former Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong).

The Strategy adopts a bottom-up, high-conviction, long-biased investment approach that seeks to invest in top equity ideas across Asia ex-Japan. With a primary focus on achieving long-term growth through capital appreciation, the Strategy will invest in equities and equity-related securities of leading companies domiciled in or exercising a large portion of their economic activity in Asian markets such as China, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.

The Strategy will be managed by Mr. Chadha, who is the Firm’s Founder and CIO. Mr. Chadha has almost 25 years of experience in Asian equity markets, having worked across multiple financial hubs, including Mumbai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New York. Prior to founding Shikhara, Mr. Chadha served as the CIO at Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong), where he oversaw assets of US$6 billion and led a team of 15 professionals. His track record includes managing Mirae’s industry-leading Asia Sector Leader and India Sector Leader funds from their inception until his departure in September 2023.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our inaugural Asian strategy, which reflects our strong conviction in the region’s economic resilience, innovative spirit, and growing global influence,” says Mr. Chadha. “This launch represents a significant milestone in our firm’s journey and underscores our commitment to providing investors with exceptional opportunities to participate in Asia’s dynamic growth story.”

The Strategy is open to professional and sophisticated investors, including accredited investors and qualified purchasers in the US.
