What Is a Specialized Investment Fund?
A Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) is an investment product introduced within the SEBI-regulated Mutual Fund framework, designed to offer greater investment flexibility than conventional Mutual Fund schemes while addressing the space between Mutual Funds and Portfolio Management Services (PMS).
Depending on the investment objective and strategy, SIFs may invest across equity, debt, derivatives and other permitted instruments, allowing investors to access more specialized portfolio approaches within a defined regulatory framework.
