Ajaypal Somvanshi Builds Global Investment Vision from Mauritius
ASKA Global Fund Founder & CEO brings more than two decades of financial-market experience to a new international chapter centred on Mauritius
Mauritius: After more than two decades across financial markets, investment management and trading, Ajaypal Somvanshi is taking his professional journey into a new international chapter through ASKA Global Fund, Mauritius.
Somvanshi, Founder & CEO of ASKA Global Fund, brings experience spanning equities, commodities, indices, forex, derivatives, portfolio management, risk management and strategic investments.
His move towards Mauritius reflects a broader ambition: to build international connections between capital, financial expertise, business opportunities and people across multiple markets.
More Than Two Decades in Financial Markets Somvanshi’s journey began with experience in India’s financial sector and subsequently expanded into international markets.
Over a career spanning more than 20 years, he has been associated with organisations including LIC HFL, HDFC Bank, Aditya Birla Group, Howden UK and Al Aweal Holding in Abu Dhabi.
His experience has included trading stocks and commodities across major international exchanges such as COMEX and NYMEX, as well as developing expertise in derivatives, hedging, portfolio strategy and risk management.
During his tenure as Fund Manager at Al Aweal Holding, Somvanshi was responsible for overseeing a millions dollar proprietary futures portfolio, according to information supplied for this profile. His responsibilities included developing hedging and equity-derivative strategies and leading a team of traders.
These experiences provided the foundation for the next stage of his career.
Why Mauritius Matters to the Global Vision
Mauritius has developed a structured ecosystem for international financial and global business activities, with its non-bank financial services and global business sector overseen by the Financial Services Commission.
For Somvanshi, establishing his latest professional chapter around Mauritius places him within an environment designed for businesses operating across international markets.
Through ASKA Global Fund, his focus is increasingly international—looking beyond individual markets towards opportunities and relationships connecting Mauritius, India, the UAE and other global financial centres.
The vision is built around applying years of market experience to a broader platform where investment strategy, disciplined risk management and international relationships can work together.
From Fund Manager to Founder
The transition to Founder & CEO represents an evolution in Somvanshi’s career.
Having spent years analysing markets, trading across asset classes and managing portfolios, his focus is now also on leadership and building an organisation with an international outlook.
His approach draws on technical analysis, fundamental research and quantitative methods while recognising the increasing influence of technology and data on modern financial markets.
Education has also remained part of his journey.
Somvanshi has mentored more than 1,500 traders, according to information provided for this profile, sharing his experience in market analysis, trading strategies and risk management.
His association with PSS EDU complements this aspect of his work, reflecting an interest in financial education and knowledge development alongside his investment activities.
Connecting Mauritius with International Markets
Somvanshi’s professional journey has moved across India, the UAE and international financial markets. Mauritius now represents another significant point in that journey.
Rather than viewing individual financial centres in isolation, his broader outlook is focused on building connections between them.
India represents the foundation of his professional journey; the UAE has provided exposure to a highly international business environment; and Mauritius now forms part of his vision for the next stage of growth.
For Somvanshi, the objective is to use more than two decades of experience to explore opportunities while maintaining a strong emphasis on research, strategy and risk management.
As ASKA Global Fund develops its international direction, Somvanshi’s journey reflects a wider ambition—building from Mauritius while thinking globally.
VISION BEYOND BORDERS
From financial-market professional to fund manager and now Founder & CEO, Ajaypal Somvanshi is entering a new chapter with Mauritius at the centre of an international vision connecting experience, investment, education and global opportunity.
