Everything You Want to Know

An AIF is a privately pooled investment vehicle regulated by SEBI that collects funds from investors to invest in alternative assets such as private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, or debt instruments.
The three categories of AIFs are Category I (venture capital and socially beneficial investments), Category II (private equity and debt funds), and Category III (Long only, long short or hedge funds using complex or leveraged strategies).
AIFs are regulated by SEBI, which sets guidelines for registration, disclosure, and compliance. Fund managers operate under these regulations.
AIFs offer higher return potential through flexible and actively managed strategies. They usually experience lower volatility as they are not directly linked to stock markets. Additionally, AIFs provide portfolio diversification, helping reduce risk during market instability or financial downturns.
