Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are privately pooled investment vehicles registered with SEBI that invest in non-traditional asset classes like private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and real estate. Unlike traditional mutual funds, AIFs focus on alternative strategies that offer unique risk-return profiles for sophisticated investors.
AIFs are categorized into three types — Category I, II, and III — each offering unique opportunities between conventional mutual funds and alternative investments, with professional management, regulatory oversight, and transparent operations.
