Specialised Investment Funds See Rapid Growth and Outperformance in First Year
Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs), launched in October 2025, have seen assets under management rise sharply to nearly Rs 40,000 crore by September 2026. These funds offer sophisticated strategies like hybrid long-short, arbitrage, and options, targeting high-net-worth and experienced investors with minimum investments of Rs 10 lakh. Over their first year, most SIFs outperformed major indices like the Nifty 50 and Nifty 500, showing lower volatility and smaller drawdowns, reflecting growing investor interest in flexible, risk-managed portfolios.
