SIF – The new kid on the block.


“Specialized Investment Funds” are a recent addition to the investment kittyย approved by SEBI, These are helpful for smaller investors who found PMS(Portfolio management services), AIF(Alternative Investment Fund) entry level 1cr/50lac respectively not achievable.

๐ŸŒฑ SIF has a mind of a mutual fund with the benefits of PMS built into it, So if a scripts(share) is going down then SIF can bet money on it as short sell also(mutual funds aren’t allowed this)
๐ŸŒฑ The SIF starts at 10 Lakhs
๐ŸŒฑ Managed by licensed advisors only
๐ŸŒฑ With taxation now above 12.75 lakhs/annum and disposable income increased this can be a go to product for people who found PMS/AIF expensive.
๐ŸŒฑ Investors with a higher risk appetite than those of MFs can choose them.
