What Are Alternative Investment Funds?
An Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is a privately pooled investment vehicle established in India that collects capital from eligible investors and invests it according to a clearly defined investment policy and fund strategy for their benefit.
AIFs may follow specialized investment approaches across areas such as venture capital, private equity, infrastructure, debt, real estate and complex market strategies, depending on the fund category, investment mandate, risk profile and overall objectives of the fund.
