Uniting Paths to Financial Prosperity

New Category

Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs)

A new bridge between traditional mutual funds and Portfolio Management Services — offering flexibility, diversification, and access to specialised strategies.

What Are SIFs?

Understanding Specialised Investment Funds

Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) are a relatively new product category introduced by SEBI, designed to sit between regular mutual funds and Portfolio Management Services (PMS).

SIFs offer access to more flexible investment strategies, including long-short equity, special situations, and thematic concentrated portfolios — strategies not available in conventional mutual funds.

They are designed for investors who are more informed and want access to differentiated strategies beyond what standard mutual funds offer, typically with a minimum investment threshold.

Evolving Product Category

SIFs are an evolving product category. SEBI guidelines and operational details are being refined. We will update this section with complete details as the product matures. Please contact us for the latest information on SIF availability and suitability.
