Discover Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) – smart, innovative investment options regulated by SEBI.
Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) are a new type of investment option introduced by SEBI in 2025. They are made for investors who want better returns and smarter strategies than regular mutual funds, but without the very high entry barrier of Portfolio Management Services (PMS).
In simple words, a SIF collects money from many investors (just like mutual funds) and invests it in shares, bonds, or a mix of both. The difference is that SIFs use specialized strategies—like protecting your money from big market falls, or aiming for steady returns even when markets are uncertain.
SIFs are regulated by SEBI, which means there are clear rules for risk disclosure, transparency, and reporting. This gives investors confidence that their money is being managed within a safe and monitored framework.
For Indian investors, SIFs open a new door: they are more advanced than mutual funds, but more accessible than PMS. This makes them ideal for people who want to explore innovative investment products while keeping their risks under control.
