Alternative Investment Fund (AIF)

An Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is a licensed investment vehicle established and incorporated in India for collectively and privately investing on behalf of a niche segment of sophisticated investors.

With a minimum ticket size of ₹1 Crore, AIFs are designed to be ultra-exclusive, offering unique investment opportunities that go beyond traditional equity and debt markets.

  • Fund Manager Expertise: Review track record, performance, and credibility.
  • Liquidity: Check lock-in periods and exit options before investing.
  • Diversification: Use AIFs to gain exposure to alternative assets like private equity, hedge funds, or real estate.
