What is the minimum investment for AIFs?

The SEBI-mandated minimum is ₹1 crore per investor for Category I and II AIFs, and ₹1 crore for Category III as well.

How are AIFs different from PMS?

AIFs are pooled vehicles investing in alternative asset classes (PE, VC, credit). PMS invests in listed equities with individual portfolio management. AIFs have longer lock-ins and different risk-return profiles.

Can NRIs invest in AIFs?

Yes, NRIs can invest in Category I and II AIFs subject to FEMA regulations. Category III has restrictions for certain jurisdictions. We guide you through compliance.

What returns can I expect from AIFs?

Returns vary widely by category and strategy. Past performance is not indicative of future results. We help set realistic expectations based on the fund's strategy and market conditions.
