AIFs are an alternative to traditional allocation of equity, debt and cash; hence, they are called alternative investment funds (AIFs).
There are three categories of AIFs. Funds that have positive externality, unlisted funds and listed funds. All three categories are growing fast in the last five years.
Funds with positive externality includes venture capital funds that are investing in early stage companies and infrastructure funds that offer higher yield over a 10 to 15 year horizon.
Unlisted funds include credit as well as equity funds. Listed funds has long only funds that are similar to PMS or a traditional diversified equity fund and long short funds that are absolute return in nature.
All three categories can have an equity or debt flavour.
