Alterative Investment fund offer a chance for our investors to go off the beaten track and invest in securities that are unavailable to the common investor. Real estate, venture capital, hedge funds, commodities, pre-IPO placements and derivative contracts can bolster the portfolio, mitigate risk and spur returns. While AIFs can also invest in listed equity shares, the structure allows for investments in securities which are unavailable under the traditional mutual fund investment platform.

We forgo fixed management fees in favour of performance-based compensation for some of our funds. An external Advisory Board supports the investment team with insights, experience and governance best practices.
