Shaan Patel has etched his name in history by becoming the youngest fund manager in India at just 22 years old. He has launched Shaan Patel Asset Management LLP, a SEBI-registered Asset Management Company (AMC), with the introduction of a Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) that has already raised Rs.31 crore.

Patel’s entry into fund management signals a generational shift in India’s financial industry. With academic credentials spanning Finance, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence, he exemplifies the new-age investor who combines strong financial fundamentals with advanced technological insights.

The flagship Flexi-Cap Fund under Shaan Patel Asset Management focuses on high-growth sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, and Renewable Energy. At its core lies Patel’s signature strategy “intelligent churning”, a quant-powered model designed to actively manage portfolios. Unlike traditional buy-and-hold strategies, this approach identifies temporary overvaluations, books profits, and re-enters stocks when valuations normalize. This dynamic model aims to maximize returns while minimizing risk exposure.

To further safeguard investors, the fund enforces strict risk management rules, including a cap of 10% exposure to any single stock, ensuring portfolio diversification and stability.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Shaan Patel, Founder & CIO said, “Our goal is to merge the discipline of traditional investing with the power of data and artificial intelligence. With intelligent churning, we aim to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns while staying ahead of market cycles.”

Shaan Patel’s achievement as India’s youngest fund manager underscores the potential of a forward-thinking, technology-driven approach to transform wealth management in the country.
