A Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) is a SEBI-regulated investment vehicle introduced in 2025 that bridges the gap between Mutual Funds and PMS. It allows investors to access institutional-grade strategies — including long-short equity, derivatives and hybrid approaches — at a much lower entry point than PMS.
The SEBI-mandated minimum investment in a Specialized Investment Fund is ₹10 lakh per investor — significantly lower than the ₹50 lakh minimum required for Portfolio Management Services (PMS).
A SIF sits between MFs and PMS. Mutual funds start at ₹500 with limited strategies; PMS requires ₹50L for fully customised portfolios. SIFs require ₹10L and offer advanced strategies like long-short equity and derivatives within an MF-style transparent structure.
SIFs are regulated by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) under the Mutual Fund framework. They are managed by SEBI-registered Asset Management Companies (AMCs).
SIFs suit HNIs with ₹10L–₹50L looking for PMS-like strategies, investors graduating beyond mutual funds, those wanting long-short or market-neutral exposure, NRIs seeking regulated India exposure, and existing PMS investors seeking complementary allocation.
Yes, NRIs can invest in SIFs through NRE/NRO accounts subject to AMC-level FATCA compliance. Minimum investment remains ₹10 lakh.
SoHo Wealth is an AMFI-registered SIF distributor (ARN 306593). We help investors across India compare available scheme documents, understand structure and complete provider onboarding. Eligibility and availability should be confirmed at the time of investment.
