Is this you?

Four scrolls. See if this sounds familiar.

Keep scrolling: the situation, what it's quietly costing you, and what changes once it's handled properly.

01/04Sound familiar?
  1. 01 · Sound familiar?

    Your network is talking about private credit and pre-IPO funds.

    Alternatives are now offered to Indian investors with larger portfolios. The returns sound interesting, the minimums are high, and the documents are long.

  2. 02 · What it's quietly costing you

    Locked-in money you might need is the real risk.

    Many AIFs are close-ended for several years, with layered fees and complex structures. Commit money you'll need for a house, a business or a family event, and you can't get it out.

  3. 03 · What we do about it

    Liquidity and fit, before opportunity.

    We map what you'll need and when, then decide whether an AIF category belongs in your plan at all, and how big a slice it should be, before comparing any fund.

  4. 04 · Where you'll be

    Alternatives in proportion.

    A sized allocation with lock-ins, risks and costs understood, sitting safely alongside the money you need to keep accessible. Or a clear reason to wait.

What you get

Everything handled, nothing sold in isolation.

AIFs pool capital into alternative strategies that may diversify a sophisticated portfolio. They carry specific eligibility criteria and risks; suitability is assessed individually and all specifics are confirmed from verified sources.

SEBI generally requires a minimum of ₹1 crore per investor for AIFs. We confirm the applicable rules and each fund's terms for your situation.

Usually not. Many AIFs are close-ended with multi-year terms, which is why liquidity planning comes first.

SEBI classifies AIFs into Category I, II and III, covering areas like venture and infrastructure, private equity and debt, and complex trading strategies. Each carries different risk and tax treatment.
