Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) are designed to offer focused investment strategies within a regulated framework. They aim to provide flexibility in portfolio construction while following defined investment mandates. These funds are suited for investors who understand market-linked products and structured strategies.
A Specialised Investment Fund is a market-linked investment product that follows a specific strategy, theme, or structure. It may combine features of different asset classes such as equity, debt, and derivatives within permitted regulatory limits.
SIFs are structured products and operate under regulatory guidelines issued by the securities market regulator. They are typically meant for investors who are comfortable with market volatility and structured investment approaches.
Types of Specialised Investment Funds
- Equity-Oriented Strategies: Focus primarily on listed equity and equity-related instruments.
- Debt-Oriented Strategies: Invest mainly in fixed income instruments such as bonds and money market securities.
- Hybrid or Multi-Asset Strategies: Allocate investments across equity, debt, and other permitted instruments.
- Strategy-Based or Structured Funds: May use permitted derivative strategies for hedging or portfolio efficiency.
