What is an AIF?

Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are specialized investment vehicles that pool funds from investors to invest in assets beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Managed by SEBI-registered fund managers, AIFs provide access to opportunities such as private equity, venture capital, real estate funds, hedge funds, and structured products that are typically not available in regular mutual funds.
