Companies that stand out for having deep strategic competitive moats and execution capabilities across market cycles, strong operating metrics, and dominant market positions will be included in the corpus, according to Avendus.

Our commitment to an investor-first approach ensures a strong focus on liquidity with periodic distributions, a relatively shorter investment holding period, and best-in-class governance standards”.
