We are pleased to announce the appointment of @PriyanshuP1405 as Fund Manager of 16 Alpha Alternatives Technologies Fund, making him India’s youngest fund manager at 22.
Priyanshu’s appointment reflects our commitment to empowering exceptional young investment talent and giving original ideas the opportunity to shape disciplined investment strategies.
Founded by @PushanJain , we launched our first SEBI-registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund in February 2025, followed by our second fund in August 2026.
Both funds have outperformed their respective benchmark indices since inception, with risk management and capital preservation central to our approach. Our investment philosophy centres on systematic, data-driven processes, using quantitative research and clearly defined rules to reduce human bias and subjectivity in investment decisions.
We believe young talent should play a leading role in investment innovation. As we grow, we remain committed to building an investment culture grounded in evidence, independent thinking and rigorous research.
Congratulations, Priyanshu. We look forward to what we will build together.

60 days since inception. An encouraging start for 16 Alpha Alternatives Technologies Fund II, our second SEBI-registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF).
+4.52% for Fund II, compared to -8.02% for the Nifty 50 and -3.83% for the Nifty Smallcap 250 over the same period.
What makes this particularly encouraging is that our strategy is entirely long-only. We’ve generated positive returns in a declining market, without taking any short positions.
It’s also exciting to see an indicative Sharpe ratio of 10 in our first two months. While it’s still early, we’re hopeful of sustaining strong returns while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Onwards. 📈

Proud to share Year 1 at the AIF level – 16 Alpha Alternatives Technologies Fund I. Feb 25, 2025 to Feb 25, 2026: +14.09% (incl. dividends).
Beat Sensex (+4.07% alpha), Nifty Smallcap 250 (+4.88% alpha), Nifty 50, Midcap & BSE 500, with lower volatility and drawdowns.
A volatile year strengthened our conviction that disciplined, fully algorithmic investing can navigate uncertainty.

Proud to share 16 Alpha's impressive first-year results, with a 69.46% return! Our data-driven, contrarian strategy outperformed all traditional Indian indices. From June 30, 2023, to July 1, 2024, 80 of our 300 stocks more than doubled, while only 50 showed negative returns.
We achieved a 7.04% alpha over the S&P BSE SmallCap, a 7.27% alpha over the S&P BSE Midcap Index, and a remarkable 43.65% alpha over the Nifty 50 Index, all with less risk than these indices. Emphasizing company fundamentals and leveraging smart beta principles, we ensure consistent, optimal outcomes through advanced algorithms and rigorous backtesting.
