India’s mutual-fund sector eyes the 'Specialized Investment Fund' wave
Indian AMCs are rolling out SIFs — high-risk, high-return funds with ₹10 lakh entry — responding to investor demand for differentiated strategies.
India’s asset-management industry is witnessing the emergence of Specialized Investment Funds (SIFs) as a new investor category: minimum investment of ₹10 lakh, offering high-risk, high-return strategies between traditional mutual funds and PMS. With retail investors seeking differentiated exposures, AMCs are launching SIFs focused on alternatives, mid-cap, and sector-specific plays. The move comes amid heavy concentration in existing equity flows and regulatory shifts. Industry experts say monitoring of transparency, liquidity and investor suitability will be key as SIFs attempt to bridge the investment-product gap.
