What Are SIFs? Full Guide with AMC List & ITI AMC Diviniti SIF Strategy

ITI AMC — Diviniti SIF
ITI AMC has entered the SIF space through its platform called Diviniti SIF. The first strategy launched under this platform is:

Diviniti Equity Long-Short Fund

Strategy Overview
- Invests in listed equities and related instruments
- Takes long exposure for opportunities and short positions for hedging or tactical plays
- Allows both high net equity exposure (up to +95%) and potential net short positioning (up to -25%) depending on market conditions
- Benchmark: Nifty 50 TRI

Minimum Investment

- Typically ₹10 lakh at entry

Key Objective

To deliver better outcome stability by managing drawdowns and market volatility through a long-short approach—rather than purely directional investing.

Who Should Consider This?

- Investors comfortable with derivatives-driven strategies
- Individuals seeking active risk-managed equity participation
- Users looking beyond traditional equity mutual funds

Why SIFs Matter for the Future of Indian Markets

SIFs represent a structural shift in how active strategies can be offered in a regulated mutual
fund format. They bring:
- Higher transparency vs AIFs
- Lower cost structures compared to PMS
- Daily NAV + liquidity
- Flexible long-short execution

They are not meant for entry-level investors, but for those who understand markets and want smarter allocation tools rather than plain-vanilla equity products.
