SRF-II is strategically built to invest in scalable opportunities within listed and unlisted small and microcap companies, focusing on innovation-led sectors like renewables, defence, waste management, and infrastructure.

With a presence across AIF Categories I, II, III, PMS, and FPI, Steptrade has evolved into one of India’s most comprehensive investment platforms, serving both domestic and global investors eyeing the country’s next wave of high-growth enterprises.

“This early close is a strong vote of confidence from our investors,” said CA Kresha Gupta, Director and Fund Manager at Steptrade Capital. “It reflects the strength of our investment philosophy—rooted in bottom-up research, market depth, and a clear focus on value creation in sectors that matter. We’re proud to be building capital bridges for India’s real economy.”

Ankush Jain, CFA, Director and Fund Manager, said, “In microcap investing, timing and structure matter as much as the idea itself. SRF-II reflects a disciplined approach where every allocation is backed by depth of research, clear valuation logic, and a focus on protecting downside while capturing structural upside. At Steptrade, we are building portfolios that can compound quietly, through cycles.”
