SEBI has allowed SIFs to offer diverse strategies so that investors can choose products aligned with their goals and risk appetite.
These funds invest in listed equities but may also use hedging techniques or dynamic allocation to manage volatility.
Focused on fixed-income securities, these provide predictable income streams while using structured strategies to reduce credit or interest-rate risks.
These combine equity and debt allocations and may take long and short positions. The goal is to generate returns in both rising and falling markets.
The variety of SIF categories ensures that investors with different objectives—capital preservation, income generation, or growth—can find suitable options. All SIFs follow SEBI’s disclosure norms, risk labelling, and benchmarking guidelines to maintain transparency.
