What is the minimum investment?
₹10 lakh across your SIF investments with a single manager, as set by SEBI — lower than PMS (₹50 lakh) but higher than a mutual fund.
How is a SIF different from a mutual fund or PMS?
It allows sophisticated strategies mutual funds cannot run, inside a regulated pooled structure, at a lower entry point than a full PMS mandate.
Who should consider a SIF?
Experienced investors comfortable with more advanced, potentially higher-risk strategies who want more flexibility than a standard mutual fund.
