The ₹10 Lakh threshold ensures investors have sufficient risk appetite and financial capacity for sophisticated strategies involving derivatives and short positions.
Unlike mutual funds, SIFs can take up to 25% unhedged short positions. This requires a higher minimum to ensure proper portfolio construction and risk management.
The ₹10 Lakh minimum is calculated at PAN level, not per fund. Once you invest ₹10L across any SIF, subsequent investments can be of any amount.
