Research, compare and track — SEBI-regulated Specialised Investment Funds using live NAVs and historical data sourced directly from AMFI — no jargon, no invented numbers.
Why Is SIF Getting Attention?
SIFs introduce another layer of flexibility and sophistication into India's regulated investment ecosystem.
More Flexibility
SIF strategies can use tools — like long-short positioning within SEBI limits — that conventional mutual funds generally cannot.
Sophisticated Strategies
From equity long-short to sector rotation, SIFs bring strategy types previously mostly seen in PMS/AIF into a mutual-fund-adjacent structure.
Designed for Experienced Investors
A ₹10 lakh minimum investment (per PAN, per AMC) reflects SEBI's intent that SIFs suit investors comfortable with more advanced strategy risk.
A New Portfolio Tool
SIFs are worth evaluating alongside your existing mutual funds and other holdings — not as an automatic replacement for them.
SIF Might Not Be For You.

Most people who click into SIFs never stop to check if the category actually fits their portfolio. It doesn't fit everyone — and knowing that in 60 seconds is more valuable than browsing schemes for an hour.

Explore SIF Strategies
Every SIF follows a defined strategy. Understand what each type actually means before comparing funds within it.
Equity Long-Short Fund
Takes both long (buy) and limited short positions in equities, aiming to generate returns from both rising and falling stock prices within SEBI-defined limits — not a guarantee of profit in any market condition.

Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short Fund
The same long/short approach as above, but restricted to stocks outside India's top 100 by market capitalisation — extending into the mid- and small-cap universe.
View live SIFs in this strategy →
Sector Rotation Long-Short Fund
May take concentrated, tactical positions in specific sectors based on the fund manager's read of where opportunity currently sits.
View live SIFs in this strategy →
Debt Long-Short Fund
Applies long and limited-short positioning within debt instruments rather than equities — expressing a view on interest rates or credit spreads with more flexibility than a traditional debt fund.
No live schemes tracked yetSectoral Debt Long-Short Fund
A more concentrated version of Debt Long-Short, focused on a specific sector's debt instruments (for example, financial services or infrastructure) rather than the broader debt market.
No live schemes tracked yetActive Asset Allocator Long-Short Fund
Dynamically shifts allocation across asset classes based on the fund manager's assessment of market conditions.

Hybrid Long-Short Fund
Combines equity, debt, and sometimes derivative exposure in a single strategy, aiming for a different risk/return balance than a pure-equity approach.

SEBI's SIF framework defines 7 strategies across 3 categories (Equity-Oriented, Debt-Oriented, Hybrid). All 7 are shown here for reference — two currently have no live scheme in our tracked universe, which is a market fact, not a gap in our data.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) is a SEBI-regulated investment category, introduced under the mutual fund framework, that allows registered AMCs to offer strategies with more flexibility than conventional mutual funds — including limited derivative use and short positions — for investors comfortable with that added complexity.
Mutual funds generally follow long-only mandates within standard SEBI categories. SIF strategies can take limited short positions and use derivatives beyond pure hedging, within SEBI-defined caps, and require a materially higher minimum investment.
Any investor who meets the minimum investment threshold can technically invest, but SIFs are designed for investors who understand the specific strategy's mechanics and risks — meeting the minimum alone doesn't mean a SIF is suitable for you.
₹10 lakh per PAN, per AMC, aggregated across all of that AMC's SIF strategies — as set by SEBI's SIF framework at the time of writing. Always confirm the current threshold in official scheme documents.
Yes — like any market-linked investment, SIFs carry risk, and strategy-specific risks (derivatives, short positions, concentration) can make some SIFs riskier than a typical diversified mutual fund. Each SIF discloses a SEBI-mandated Risk Band to help you assess this.
Common categories include Equity Long-Short, Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short, Sector Rotation, Hybrid Long-Short, and Active Asset Allocation — each with its own mandate disclosed in the scheme's offer document.
Yes, within SEBI-defined limits — unhedged derivative exposure is capped (currently around 25% of net assets under the SIF framework), so it's bounded, not unlimited.
A strategy that takes both long (buy) positions expecting a security to rise and short positions expecting it to fall, aiming to generate returns from both directions — though results depend entirely on the manager's calls being right, not a guarantee either way.
In a SIF, you own units of a pooled scheme, similar to a mutual fund. In PMS, you directly own the underlying securities in your own individually managed account. PMS typically has a higher minimum investment than SIF.
SIFs operate under SEBI's mutual fund regulations with a lower entry barrier. AIFs are a separate regulatory category typically aimed at HNI/UHNI investors with generally higher minimums and different structuring.

We provide live, AMFI-sourced data and research tools on this page for free, and offer paid advisory sessions where we help you assess whether a specific SIF strategy actually fits your existing portfolio, goals and risk profile.
Each SIF's Scheme Information Document (SID) and related disclosures are published by the respective AMC, and NAV/strategy data is available on AMFI's official website. Click into any scheme's detail view above for available links.
No. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Most SIFs currently have under two years of track record, so historical figures should be read with that limited history in mind.
The Next Generation of Investing Is Here.
The question isn't whether SIF deserves your attention. It's whether it deserves a place in your portfolio.
Investment decisions should be based on your financial objectives, risk profile, investment horizon and applicable scheme documents. Investments are subject to market risks. This page is for educational/informational purposes and should not be treated as investment advice unless explicitly stated in a paid advisory session.
