Institutional Desk

A partner-led desk for institutional capital.

Cygnus Institutional works with family offices, corporate treasuries, trusts and select institutions on bespoke mandates spanning advisory, execution and co-investment.

Family-Office Advisory

Direct equity allocation, manager selection, alternatives sourcing and an external investment committee voice — all under one roof.

Corporate Treasury

Surplus deployment frameworks, liquidity ladders, and tactical equity allocations governed by an explicit treasury policy.

Alternatives Access

Curated pre-IPO, structured credit and special-situation opportunities — diligenced by our investment committee.

Co-investment

Selective access to Cygnus proprietary positions on a managed-account basis, with full transparency on risk and exposure.

Custom Research

Bespoke sector or thematic research mandates produced exclusively for institutional clients.

Confidential Engagement

Partner-led, NDA-backed conversations. We invest considerable time before we invest a single rupee.

Engagement

A measured five-step engagement.

We do not rush institutional relationships. Most mandates take 6–10 weeks from first conversation to active stewardship — by design.

Confidential conversation to understand mandate, governance and existing portfolio.

Investment policy, risk policy and conflict-of-interest policies available on request.

Independent oversight

Third-party fund administrator, Big-4 auditor and external valuation reviewer.
