Why Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)?
Alternative Investment Funds open doors to opportunities beyond public equity and debt. They enable participation in sectors such as venture capital, private equity, real estate, private credit, special situations, structured debt and market‑neutral strategies. AIFs are regulated by SEBI and professionally managed. Planet AIF curates AIFs that align with your risk appetite, liquidity needs and long‑term objectives. Key advantages include:
Professional Management & Governance: qualified investment teams manage each fund under stringent SEBI regulations. Their expertise and adherence to governance standards help reduce operational risk.
Access to Private Markets: AIFs give you exposure to early‑stage ventures, private credit, distressed assets and other opportunities unavailable through public markets.
Diversification & Return Potential: because AIFs invest in alternative assets, they can deliver returns that differ from public equity markets, helping balance your portfolio.
Minimum Investment Threshold: AIFs typically require a minimum commitment of ₹1 crore, making them suitable for sophisticated or high‑net‑worth investors.
