Category III Alternative Investment Funds Grow 35% Amid Challenging Market Conditions
Category III Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) in India grew 35.3% year-on-year to Rs 3.37 lakh crore in the June quarter, surpassing the overall AIF industry's 24% growth despite a challenging stock market. These funds, which employ sophisticated listed-market strategies including long, short, and limited leverage positions, primarily attract domestic high-net-worth individuals and family offices. Investments mainly target listed securities, with Rs 1.86 lakh crore in stocks, while foreign inflows remain minimal. The invested amount exceeded capital raised, reflecting active capital recycling and liquidity in this segment.
