What is AIF?
As the name suggests, Alternate Investment Funds (AIFs) provide an alternative to traditional investment options like stocks, mutual funds, and bonds. They are designed for High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNIs) who are looking for unique investment opportunities with the potential for better returns. AIFs are specialized investment vehicles that pool money from institutional and wealthy investors, with a minimum investment requirement of Rs. 1 crore.
These funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under the Alternative Investment Funds Regulations of 2012. They can be set up as corporations, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), trusts, or other structures. AIFs offer the operational simplicity of mutual funds and the flexibility of Portfolio Management Services (PMS), aiming to achieve higher returns through strategic investments.
AIFs typically focus on alternative asset classes such as venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, and infrastructure funds. They are guided by specific investment goals. AIFs are divided into three categories: Category I, Category II, and Category III, based on the types of investments they are permitted to make.

AIF Categories to know

These funds are expected to positively impact the economy, potentially receiving government incentives or concessions. Angel Funds, a part of this category, pool investments from high net worth individuals and entities with specific experience and qualifications.
- Category II–Includes debt funds and private equity funds, offering a defensive investment option with diversified portfolios managed by experienced fund managers to reduce investors’ risk profiles. Debt funds in this category invest in debt or debt securities of listed or unlisted companies.
- Category III- Category III AIFs engage in sophisticated trading strategies like arbitrage, margin trading, futures, and derivatives to generate returns.
