A Specialised Investment Fund is a mutual-fund route for investors who want more sophisticated strategies than a regular scheme offers, at a higher ticket size. It sits between mutual funds and PMS, and an investor must put in at least ₹10 lakh, with accredited investors exempt from that minimum.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up Specialised Investment Fund (SIF)?
The timeline depends on the product, how ready your documents and information are, and the regulator’s review. We give a realistic estimate in the proposal and update it as the work progresses.
Do you guarantee regulatory approval?
No adviser can. Approval rests with the regulator. What we do is prepare your structure, documents and filings to the standard the process demands and manage the process closely.
Can we engage you for only one stage of the work?
Both are possible. Most clients engage us across structuring, documentation, regulatory execution and launch readiness, but you can engage us for a specific stage.
Do you support us after launch?
Yes. Our Launch Readiness workstream and post-incorporation support help you onboard investors and meet your ongoing obligations.
