The AIF full form is Alternative Investment Fund. AIF means any Indian investment vehicle that collects funds from sophisticated investors, whether Indian or foreign, for investing in accordance with a defined investment policy. Alternative investment funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). AIF investment strategies are tailored to suit the needs of high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors. SEBI AIFs offer a more comprehensive range of investment opportunities and alternative asset management methods. AIF Funds invest in assets that are not typically available through traditional investments, and they can be structured as trusts, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), or companies. Alternative Investment advisory services in India have gained popularity among investors looking for diversification and higher returns.
