About Kotak IFSC Asset Management

Kotak IFSC Asset Management is the GIFT City-based investment management subsidiary of the Kotak Mahindra Group, established to serve investors seeking USD-denominated exposure to global markets from within India's regulatory framework. As an IFSCA-regulated entity at GIFT City's International Financial Services Centre, the firm offers Restricted Schemes that provide accredited investors access to global listed equities, USD sovereign bonds, and multi-asset strategies previously unavailable through SEBI-regulated domestic vehicles.

NRIs, FPIs, and resident Indian investors (under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme) can access the firm's global investment strategies through GIFT City's tax-advantaged framework, which exempts fund income from Indian taxes for the IFSC entity. The platform benefits from the Kotak Group's global research capabilities and its relationships with premier international custodians and prime brokers.

Philosophy

Investment Approach

Global Diversification from India's International Gateway

Kotak IFSC's investment approach leverages GIFT City's unique regulatory framework to offer Indian investors access to international capital markets with institutional-grade governance, USD settlement, and IFSCA oversight — bridging the gap between Indian wealth and global investment opportunities.

USD Denomination

All investments and returns in USD, providing natural currency diversification for Indian investors' rupee-concentrated wealth portfolios.

Global Asset Classes

Access to global listed equities, USD sovereign bonds, global REITs, and commodity ETFs — asset classes unavailable or tax-inefficient through the domestic mutual fund route.

IFSCA Compliance

Regulated by IFSCA under the IFSC Authority Act 2019, with SEBI-analogous investor protection norms and FATF-compliant AML/KYC frameworks.
