Practice Drills: Building a Family Office Style Alternative Asset Allocation Model

A hands-on drill course for HNI and family office investors, angel syndicate leads and active commodity and currency traders who want to run alternatives like an institution. Working from one sample INR 150 crore family balance sheet, you will build a spreadsheet allocation model tab by tab: honest return and risk assumptions for private equity, private credit, real assets and Category III AIFs, unsmoothed volatility, an illiquidity budget tied to the family's cash needs, a factor map of what the book really owns, a commitment pacing engine for capital calls and distributions, liquidity stress tests, and a gross-to-net layer for fees, carry and Indian tax. The course ends with an investment committee memo built from your own model.
