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:

- 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.
