Introduction

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?

  • Lower entry barriers vs PMS/AIF
  • Access to advanced strategies
  • Full SEBI oversight
  • Designed for smarter investors

Expert Quote

“SIFs are India’s bridge between traditional funds and advanced strategies — regulated, yet flexible.”

Why Now?

Indian investors are demanding more than traditional mutual funds. Many don’t qualify for AIFs or PMS. SIFs fill this critical gap, giving access to new strategies in a safer structure.

The AMC Wave: Who Has Entered?

Quant AMC

Bandhan AMC – Arudha SIF

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

Mirae Asset – Platinum SIF

Bringing global expertise into India’s SIF category.

DSP AMC – Endurance SIF
