Private equity, structured credit, and long-short strategies — for portfolios ready to look beyond listed markets.
An AIF is a privately pooled vehicle that invests in strategies outside traditional stocks and bonds — private equity, private credit, and market-neutral approaches among them.
They open doors that used to be reserved for institutions. The trade-off is complexity, illiquidity and structure — which is exactly where we help.
Every plan begins with a conversation about your goals — never a product. Tell us where you are, and we'll map the way in.
Talk to a specialistWe bring credible Category I, II and III funds within reach, and screen out the rest.
We look past the deck — at the manager, the terms, and how returns are really generated.
We plan commitments by vintage and structure them to fit the rest of your portfolio.
| Category | What it invests in | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Category I | Start-ups, SMEs, infrastructure and social ventures | Early-stage growth and impact |
| Category II | Private equity and private credit funds | The core of most alternative allocations |
| Category III | Long-short and other market strategies, including hedge-style | Diversification and downside management |

With alternatives, the structure shapes the outcome as much as the strategy.
IRR flatters. What matters is how much cash actually comes back, and when. We look at DPI, not just the headline.
Committing across years smooths entry points and reduces the risk of a single bad vintage.
Hurdle rates, catch-ups and carry decide how returns are split. We read the waterfall before you sign.
Taxation varies sharply by category. We map the after-tax return, not the gross one.
SEBI sets a minimum commitment of ₹1 crore for AIFs.
Most Category I and II funds run for several years with limited liquidity. We plan around the lock-in.
It depends on the category and structure; Category III in particular has its own treatment. We model it before you commit.
No obligation. Just clarity about your next step.
