Alternative Investment Fund (AIF)
Explore investment opportunities beyond traditional asset classes through Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). Designed for eligible investors, AIFs provide access to diversified strategies that can complement a well-balanced investment portfolio.
Diversified Alternative Strategies
Alternative Investment Funds are privately pooled investment vehicles that invest in opportunities outside conventional investments such as equity, fixed income, and mutual funds. Depending on the investment strategy, these funds may focus on private equity, venture capital, private debt, real estate, infrastructure, or other specialised asset classes.
AIFs are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and are intended for investors who seek portfolio diversification, long-term wealth creation, and access to professionally managed alternative investment opportunities.
Since these investments typically involve longer holding periods and higher levels of risk, careful financial planning and professional guidance are essential before investing.

Institutional Investors

Appropriate for investors who understand market risks and have the financial capacity to invest with a long-term perspective.
Eligibility Requirements
Participation is subject to SEBI regulations and minimum investment requirements applicable to Alternative Investment Funds.
