FIGURES AS ON 31 MAR 2026
Great investing is rarely about predicting markets. It is about process: understanding what the money is for, respecting risk, and reviewing with discipline.
Behind every recommendation sits a repeatable framework, so the funds you hold are there for a reason you can see.
Our in-house tracking and filtering framework works alongside multiple independent fund-analysis platforms. Schemes earn a place on the shortlist by passing each filter, not by reputation.
A structured questionnaire places you in one of five risk profiles before any product is discussed.
Each goal gets its own timeline, target amount and asset mix, mapped to a defined model portfolio.
We tell you how we are paid and what your alternatives are, in plain language.
Mutual funds, SIFs, PMS and insurance, across every family member, tracked together and reviewed in a single conversation rather than scattered across folios and portals.
Mutual funds, Specialized Investment Funds, portfolio management services and insurance, each chosen to fit a single picture of your goals, risk profile and time horizon.
Start a SIP or invest a lump sum in equity, debt, hybrid and index schemes from SEBI-registered AMCs, matched to your risk profile.
Investments are made in Regular Plans, on which we receive commission from the AMC. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.
SEBI's newest category, sitting between a mutual fund and a PMS: long-short and sector-rotation strategies inside a regulated fund structure.
SIF strategies use derivatives and may take unhedged short exposure, so risk is higher than a conventional mutual fund. Redemption windows and notice periods vary by strategy; read all scheme related documents carefully.
Access to strategies run by SEBI-registered portfolio managers, for investors seeking a concentrated, professionally managed portfolio.
We distribute PMS as an APMI-registered distributor (APRN01059); the portfolio is managed by the portfolio manager. Please read the Disclosure Document carefully before investing.
Protection comes first. We help you put the right cover in place before a single rupee is invested.
Insurance is the subject matter of solicitation. Please read the sales brochure and policy wording carefully before concluding a sale.
Onboarding takes a few conversations. What follows is the part that compounds: a review rhythm that runs for as long as you invest with us.
We listen first: your goals, timelines, existing investments and the questions on your mind.
A structured questionnaire places you in one of five risk profiles, from Conservative to Aggressive.
Your profile maps to a defined model portfolio and asset allocation, which guides every scheme we propose.
A quarter in, we sit down again: is the allocation behaving as expected, are the SIP dates and amounts right, is any goal or cover still missing? This is where onboarding hands over to the cycle that runs alongside.
We re-screen the fund universe, then review your holdings against your goals and allocation.
If allocation moves away from your model portfolio, we show you what to correct and why.
Targets, contributions and insurance cover are revisited against where life actually is.
A new job, a child, a home, a windfall: the plan is reworked around the change, not after it.
Holdings, transactions, capital gains and statements across every family member, on your phone or in a browser. The same numbers we work from, sourced from the AMCs and registrars.
Two quick illustrations: what a monthly SIP could add up to, and what it may take to reach a goal. Adjust the inputs to explore.
For illustration only. The assumed rate of return is not guaranteed and does not represent the past or expected performance of any mutual fund scheme. Figures do not account for expenses, exit loads or taxes. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.
For illustration only. Inflation and return assumptions are not guaranteed; actual outcomes will differ. This is not a recommendation to invest in any particular scheme. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

Be the catalyst, not the noise.
The principle the firm was built on.

Founder · iCatalyst Capital, BengaluruiCatalyst Capital is a Bengaluru-based investment distribution firm. We work with families, salaried professionals and business owners across India, distributing mutual funds, Specialized Investment Funds, portfolio management services and insurance under one roof.
The firm runs on documented method rather than individual judgement calls: a risk profile on record for every client, a defined model portfolio for each of the five profiles, a fund shortlist refreshed every quarter, and a review calendar that does not depend on anyone remembering to call. The reasoning behind every holding is written down in your file, so a review never rests on one person's memory.
“Very professional, thorough research, easy to approach and honest people to work with. Goals and their mapping to your current investment is made clear so you have a better picture. Highly recommended!”
“I get complete transparency about my investments via iCatalyst website as well as mobile app, along with in-person reviews every 6 months to assess the health of investments and progress towards goals.”
“I have been investing through iCatalyst since Mar 2019. … They will understand your requirements, work with you to plan your financials for the coming years / decades and help you achieve your goals.”
“Deepak and his team have been part of my … journey for the last 8 years. They know what they are doing …”

Clear answers, without the jargon. For anything else, just ask.
We help you understand mutual fund schemes, match them to your goals and risk profile, complete the paperwork, and review your investments over time. We are paid by the fund house through commission on Regular Plans.
Both plans hold the same portfolio. A Regular Plan includes a distributor's commission in its expense ratio; a Direct Plan does not, so its expense ratio is lower. You can invest in Direct Plans on your own through the AMC or other platforms.
Book a consultation, complete your KYC and risk profile, and we set up the SIP with the chosen scheme in your own name. The whole process is usually done in two or three conversations, in person at our Jayanagar office in Bengaluru or online, and the SIP can start from the next available date.
Yes. We are based in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and work with families and professionals across India. Onboarding, transactions and quarterly reviews all happen online for clients outside the city.
Many mutual fund schemes accept SIPs from as little as a few hundred rupees a month; the minimum depends on the scheme. Specialized Investment Funds require at least ₹10 lakh per PAN, and Portfolio Management Services at least ₹50 lakh, as prescribed by SEBI.
SIF is a category SEBI introduced in 2025 for investors who want strategies beyond a conventional mutual fund, such as equity or debt long-short and sector rotation. It is offered by mutual fund houses under the mutual fund regulations, with a minimum investment of ₹10 lakh per PAN across an AMC's strategies. Risk is higher than a standard scheme, because these strategies use derivatives.
Your risk profile reflects both your ability and your willingness to handle ups and downs. It decides your asset allocation, which usually matters more to long-term outcomes than the choice of any single fund.
No. Mutual funds, SIFs and PMS are market-linked, and their value can go up or down. Anyone promising assured returns on these products should be treated with caution.
Every quarter. We also get in touch when a life event, a change in your goals, or a significant drift in your asset allocation calls for a conversation.
