Funds that have positive spillover effects on the economy and receive government incentives. These include venture capital funds, angel funds, social venture funds, SME funds, and infrastructure funds.
Category II AIFs
Funds that don't fall under Category I or III and don't undertake leverage other than to meet day-to-day operational requirements. These include private equity funds, debt funds, and real estate funds.
Category III AIFs
Funds that employ diverse or complex trading strategies, including the use of leverage through investments in listed or unlisted derivatives. These include hedge funds, PIPE funds, and strategy funds.
Regulatory Framework
SEBI provides comprehensive regulations for both PMS and AIFs to ensure investor protection. The regulatory framework ensures transparency, disclosure, and professional management while allowing flexibility for innovative investment strategies.
