Introduced by SEBI via circular dated Feb 27, 2025 and effective April 1, 2025 — SIFs sit between regular mutual funds and PMS.
SIFs can run Equity Long-Short, Hybrid Long-Short, sector rotation and tactical allocation strategies — with up to 25% unhedged short exposure via derivatives.
SEBI requires deep track records or highly experienced fund managers to launch a SIF — filtering out untested players.
Aggregated across all SIF strategies of a single AMC at the investor's PAN level. SIP/STP/SWP available. SEBI-accredited investors are exempt.
Understand exactly where SIFs fit in the investment spectrum before allocating capital.
