What is a Specialized Investment Fund?

SEBI introduced the Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) framework effective April 1, 2025, creating an entirely new investment category that bridges the gap between traditional Mutual Funds and PMS/AIF structures.

With a minimum investment of ₹10 Lakh, SIF allows investors to access hedge-fund-style strategies like long-short positions, derivatives-based approaches, and multi-asset allocation — all within SEBI's robust mutual fund regulatory framework.

SIF operates under SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, ensuring the same level of transparency, daily NAV disclosure, and investor protection that mutual fund investors are accustomed to, while offering sophisticated investment strategies previously available only to ultra-HNI investors.
