In a move set to energize India’s alternative investment market, ACME Finvest, the investment arm of ACME Group, has closed the first ₹100 crore in its newly launched ACE Fund. Registered under SEBI as a Category III Alternative Investment Fund (IN/AIF3/23-24/1380), the fund is already being hailed as a marker of shifting tides in domestic wealth management.
A Market That Refuses to Slow Down
India’s AIF industry is rewriting records. Commitments have crossed ₹12 trillion, and Category III funds, the fastest movers of the pack, have seen assets rocket past ₹2.7 lakh crore, growing more than 35% last year alone. What used to be a niche corner of finance is now commanding mainstream attention.
This is the moment ACE Fund has chosen to make its debut. For Ramon Talwwar, Founder & CEO of ACME Group, the timing is no accident: “We are committed to creating lasting wealth for our investors with a balance of optimism and discipline.”
Inside the ACE Playbook
The ACE Fund isn’t content with one path. It is structured as a multi-strategy vehicle, blending equities, derivatives, and structured credit to generate returns while staying nimble against volatility. Talwwar defines ACME’s philosophy as “not waiting for opportunities, but creating them.” It’s a mantra that shapes the fund’s active, forward-leaning approach.
The focus? Growth sectors that are rewriting India’s future: technology innovations, sustainable enterprises, and new-age consumer businesses. The aim is not only wealth creation but to channel capital into ideas that matter for the next decade.
Why Investors Are Taking Notice
The ₹100 crore first close reflects more than capital raised; it reflects conviction. Wealthy Indian families and HNIs are now allocating up to 12% of their portfolios to alternatives, up from just 3–5% a few years ago. Domestic funds like ACE are stepping in to meet those goals for smarter strategies.
Market watchers note a shift in the DNA of Indian funds: entrepreneurial energy combined with institutional discipline. ACME Finvest is positioning ACE Fund at that intersection, ambitious, but with a clear governance backbone.
