Why AIFs Are Different
Strategies MFs Can't Touch
Long-short equity, leverage, derivatives, pre-IPO deals — AIFs can do what mutual funds legally cannot. Access institutional-grade strategies.
Low Correlation to Markets
When Nifty falls 20%, a well-managed Cat III AIF might be flat or even positive. True diversification, not just owning more stocks.
Access Private Markets
Pre-IPO opportunities, private equity deals, venture capital — AIFs give you access to wealth creation before companies go public.
Serious Money, Serious Strategies
₹1 Crore minimum ensures you're investing alongside sophisticated investors. No retail noise, focused execution.
The True Diversification:
In March 2020, Nifty fell 38%. Many Cat III AIFs fell only 10-15% — or even made money.
That's the power of strategies that can go long AND short. True hedging, not just owning more stocks.
Three Categories, Different Strategies
Category I
Social & Economic Impact
Venture Capital, SME Funds, Social Venture Funds, Infrastructure Funds. Investments in sectors SEBI considers beneficial for the economy.
Examples:
Return Profile:
High risk, potentially very high returns (20-30%+ IRR)
Category II
Private Equity & Debt
Private Equity, Debt Funds, Fund of Funds. Cannot use leverage except for day-to-day operations. Most common AIF category.
Examples:
Return Profile:
Moderate-high risk, 15-25% IRR typical
Category III
Hedge Fund Strategies
Long-short equity, derivatives strategies, complex trading. Can employ leverage and take short positions. Most flexible category.
Examples:
Return Profile:
Absolute returns focused, typically 12-20%
