Investment Manager Update

 

India Capital Growth Fund ("ICGF" or "the Company"), the London main market listed investment company established to take advantage of long-term investment opportunities in mid and small cap Indian companies, announced on 2 October 2023 the completion of the acquisition of the Company's investment manager, Ocean Dial Asset Management Limited ("ODAM"), by AssetCo plc (now named River Global PLC) ("River Global"). The planned integration of ODAM into River Global's other active equity asset management businesses (trading under the River Global brand) has now been completed.

Like ODAM, SVM Asset Management Limited ("SVM"), which trades as RGI Fund Management, is authorised by the FCA as a small authorised AIFM and, as part of the integration process, will take on that role from ODAM. River Global proposes to wind down ODAM's operations in due course. 

The Board of the Company has therefore agreed that the Investment Management & AIFM Agreement entered into with ODAM on 19 September 2017 (as amended by side letters dated 26 May 2020 and 1 October 2021) shall be novated to SVM with no change to its terms, effective from 9 April 2025.

As a consequence, the current Investment Advisory Agreement between ODAM and Saltoro Advisers Pte Ltd, an independent company owned and operated by Gaurav Narain (the Company's existing principal adviser) and his team in Mumbai, has been novated from ODAM to River Global Investors LLP, a River Global subsidiary which provides portfolio management services for SVM, with unchanged terms, also effective from 9 April 2025. Gaurav Narain remains as the Company's principal adviser and the Board do not anticipate any change in the Company's investment strategy or approach as a result of these changes which are intended simply to streamline and rationalise the Company's management.
