Key Fund Details

Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) are a category of mutual fund products created for sophisticated investors and are offered under a separate, clearly identifiable brand to distinguish them from regular mutual fund schemes. These funds come with a higher entry threshold of ₹10 lakh, reflecting their advanced investment strategies. SIFs also allow a limited degree of unhedged short selling, capped at 25% of the portfolio, giving fund managers greater flexibility while maintaining controlled risk levels.
