Less complexity. More compounding.

You built the wealth.
We make it work.

We manage money for a small number of families in India and overseas — fifty and counting. Every portfolio is built to grow for the long term and pay you along the way.

Our approach

Two jobs at once.

Most portfolios are built to do one thing. Either they grow, or they pay an income. Rarely both, and almost never on purpose.

For a family with real wealth, that is the wrong choice to have to make. The capital should keep compounding for the next generation while it funds this one. Every portfolio we build is designed around both.

THE GROWTH ENGINE

Built to be held

The compounding core of the portfolio, allocated to equity and held through full market cycles. Reviewed on a fixed schedule, not rearranged every time the market has an opinion. This is the part that decides what your family is worth in twenty years.

THE INCOME ENGINE

Built to pay

A separate stream that funds your life without touching the growth core. Laddered, tax-aware, and sized so that a bad year in the market never forces you to sell the assets you most want to keep.

The arithmetic

Ten times is a rate, not a promise.

Every family asks how large the number can get. The honest answer is that a multiple is simply a rate of return meeting a length of time — and time does far more of the work than most people expect.

So the most valuable thing we do is not picking the rate. It is helping a family stay invested long enough for the right-hand column to reach them.

This table is arithmetic, not a forecast. It is not a projection, indication or assurance of returns. Actual results depend on markets and will be different. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.

What ₹1 becomes, at a constant rate
Return each yearAfter 10 yearsAfter 20 years
12%3.1×9.6×
15%4.0×16.4×
18%5.2×27.4×
22%7.3×53.4×
26%10.1×101.7×

Notice what happens between the two columns. Doubling the years does not double the result. It squares it. That one fact is the whole case for patience.

The first rule of compounding:
never interrupt it unnecessarily.

What we look after.

Real wealth creates problems that a good portfolio alone does not solve. We handle all of them as one relationship, instead of six separate ones.

I

Portfolio construction

An allocation built around your time horizon, your commitments, and what you would actually do in a falling market.

  • Asset allocation across equity, debt and alternatives
  • Goal-based structuring and systematic investing
  • Rebalancing on a fixed schedule
  • Bringing scattered old holdings into one plan
II

Income and cash flow

Money that arrives when you need it, sized so the growth core is never forced to sell at the wrong time.

  • Withdrawal plans, laddered across instruments
  • Liquidity buffers and emergency reserves
  • Retirement and post-business-sale income
  • Funding for education, property and family needs
III

Estate planning and succession

Making sure what you built reaches the people you intend, in the way you intend, without years of dispute.

  • Wills, drafted and executed with legal counsel
  • Nomination and beneficiary checks across all assets
  • Private trust structures for succession
  • A clear asset register for the next generation
IV

Tax planning

Decisions taken with the after-tax number in view, because that is the only number your family actually receives.

  • Capital gains planning and harvesting
  • Choosing holding periods and instruments with care
  • Structuring across family members and entities
  • Working directly with your chartered accountant
V

NRI and cross-border

For families whose money and home are in different countries. Handled without you having to be in our time zone.

  • NRE, NRO and FCNR account structuring
  • Repatriation planning and paperwork
  • Tax coordination with your advisers abroad
  • Reviews scheduled to your working hours
VI

One consolidated view

A single picture of everything the family owns, instead of a dozen statements that never add up to the same number.

  • Family-level reporting across all members
  • Regular performance and allocation statements
  • Review meetings on a fixed calendar
  • One point of contact for the whole relationship

Skin in the game

Our own money is in the same markets.

The partners invest their own capital in the same markets, through the same cycles, taking the same falls on the same days. It is the reason you will hear us say no to products that other firms would happily sell you.

You get the view we actually hold, not the one that is easiest to sell.

Who we work with.

We keep the number of families small on purpose. These are the ones we are built for.

Business owners

Most of your wealth sits in one asset you cannot diversify. Everything outside the business has to be built around that, and most advisers never even ask about it.

Families after a sale or inheritance

A large sum arriving at once is a completely different problem from wealth built up slowly. The first year decides a great deal, and it is usually handled badly.

Families living abroad

Money in India, life elsewhere. Tax, regulation and repatriation handled properly, with reviews scheduled around your day rather than ours.

Our favourite holding period is forever.

How we work together.

Four stages, and you always know which one you are in.

One

We listen

What you own, what you owe, what the money is for, and what you would do if it fell by a third. That last answer matters more than the first three.

Two

We review

A full read of what you already hold. Overlaps, dead weight, tax exposure, succession gaps, and the risks nobody mentioned when it was sold to you.

Three

We build

Both engines together, growth and income, with a written reason for every line and a transition plan that respects tax and exit loads.

Four

We stay

Reviews on a fixed calendar, reporting that includes the bad quarters, and a phone that gets answered on the days the market falls.

Seven Islands Academy

Private sessions, by invitation.

Small closed groups for our families — often the next generation, who will one day inherit the portfolio and ought to understand it first. Taught by the partners.

FOR FAMILIES

Wealth that lasts two generations

For family members who want to understand the portfolio they hold, not just receive statements about it.

  • How compounding behaves over long periods
  • Why allocation decides most of the outcome
  • Reading a portfolio beyond its headline return
  • Tax, holding periods and the cost of churn
  • What to do when markets fall
Request an invitation

FOR THE MARKET-MINDED

Risk, measured properly

A conceptual session for those already active in the markets who suspect, correctly, that they are carrying risk they have never measured.

  • Position sizing, and why it beats good entries
  • Measuring drawdown and concentration
  • How hedging a large holding works, in principle
  • Reading your own record honestly
  • Where speculation ends and investing begins
Request an invitation

Two partners. No account managers.

Ten years each in the markets, and between them every part of the work — the planning and the risk. You deal with the principals at every meeting.

Prathamesh Pai, Co-Founder of Seven Islands Capital

Prathamesh Pai

CO-FOUNDER  ·  10+ YEARS

Leads derivatives strategy and risk management for the firm's own capital — position sizing, hedging and the discipline that keeps the book within its limits. It is the work that sits behind our view of risk across every portfolio we build.

Questions we are asked.

Is there a minimum?
We keep the book small, so we work best with families whose portfolios are large enough to justify the work we do. Rather than publish a number, speak to us. If we are not the right fit we will say so in the first meeting and point you somewhere better.
What does this cost me?
On mutual fund investments we are paid by the asset management company through distribution commission, which is already part of the scheme's expense ratio. We will tell you exactly what we earn on anything we recommend, before you commit.
Who holds the money?
You do. Everything sits in your own name, in your own folios and accounts with the fund houses and depositories. We never hold client money. You can see and exit any holding yourself at any time.
I live outside India. Is that a problem?
No. A good part of our book is non-resident. Account structuring, paperwork, repatriation and tax coordination are routine for us, and we schedule reviews around your time zone.
I already have a private banker.
Most families who come to us do. Bring a recent consolidated statement and we will show you what is actually inside it: the overlaps, the built-in costs, and what it has returned after tax. No obligation either way.
Do you guarantee returns?
No. Nobody can, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Markets fall. What we promise is a process you can inspect, reporting that includes the bad quarters, and our own money exposed to the same conditions as yours.

Request a meeting.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Bring a recent statement and we will tell you what we would change and why, whether or not you engage us.
