India’s Next Big Investment Chapter:
Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) and the AMCs Leading the Way

Published on September 6, 2025

India’s investment industry is entering a new phase with the arrival of Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) — a brand-new category created by SEBI.

What Exactly Are SIFs?

Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) are a new investment vehicle approved by SEBI. They combine the accessibility of mutual funds with the flexibility of AIFs/PMS.

  • ✅ Lower entry barriers compared to PMS/AIF
  • ✅ Ability to use advanced strategies
  • ✅ Full regulatory oversight by SEBI
  • ✅ Designed for smarter investors

Why Now?

The Indian investor base is growing rapidly. People want more than traditional mutual funds, but many don’t qualify for AIFs and PMS products. SIFs bridge this gap.

The AMC Wave: Who Has Entered?

🔹 Quant AMC

India’s first SIF launch with the Quant SIF Equity Long-Short Fund.

🔹 Bandhan AMC – Arudha SIF

Recently approved, hosting equity, debt, and hybrid strategies.

🔹 Edelweiss AMC – Altiva SIF

New brand identity with multiple advanced strategies under one platform.

🔹 Mirae Asset – Platinum SIF

Bringing global expertise into India’s SIF category.

🔹 DSP AMC – Endurance SIF

Focused on long-term wealth strategies under SIF framework.

Why Investor Education Matters

Awareness is still low. Early movers who understand SIFs today will benefit the most once they go live.
