Invest in Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) with Nirmaya Wealth

Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are privately pooled investment vehicles that provide access to non-traditional asset classes and high-growth opportunities. Regulated by SEBI, AIFs are designed for high-net-worth investors (HNIs) seeking diversification, better potential returns, and professional fund management.

With Nirmaya Wealth, you can explore a wide range of AIF plans that cater to your investment goals, whether you’re looking at startups, infrastructure, private equity, or hedge funds.

What Are Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)?

Alternative Investment Funds are investment structures that pool funds from investors and deploy them into non-traditional asset classes that are often not correlated to the stock market. These funds are primarily for sophisticated investors looking to diversify their portfolios while optimizing risk and returns.

AIFs can include:

• Startups and early-stage ventures
• Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
• Infrastructure projects
• Private equity and real estate funds
• Hedge funds and derivatives trading

• Potential High Returns: With exposure to emerging and high-growth sectors, AIFs offer attractive long-term returns.
• Professional Management: Funds are managed by experienced professionals who make informed investment decisions to maximize performance.
• Minimum Investment: Typically, the minimum investment starts from INR 1 Crore, depending on the type of AIF.
