Category III AIFs pursue diverse or complex trading strategies, including long-short and derivative-based approaches, and may use significant leverage. They are aimed at sophisticated investors comfortable with active, higher-risk strategies and the volatility they bring.
With a minimum commitment of typically Rs 1 crore, these funds can be volatile: leverage and derivatives amplify both gains and losses, drawdowns can be sharp, and returns are not assured. They belong only in portfolios that can absorb such swings without forcing a sale. We are frank about when they do and, just as often, do not fit.
- Access to hedge-style and long-short AIF strategies
- Scrutiny of leverage, risk controls and track record
- Clear disclosure of volatility and loss potential
