Alternate Assets Management in India


Alternative Investment Funds (AIF’s) can be viewed as including any investment that is not a traditional investment. Typically, traditional investments include equities, fixed income, or real estate.
ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS
AIF’s can be classified in to the following three categories
Category 1: (Venture Capital Funds) Start-up / Early stage funds, Infrastructure funds.
These are those AIFs which are positive and beneficial to the Indian economy and enhance growth. Hence these funds receive incentives or concessions by SEBI or the government of India. Such funds generally invest in start-ups or early stage ventures, social ventures, SME’s, infrastructure or other sectors which are considered socially or economically important for the country.
Start up funds / early stage funds:
Venture Capital Fund falls under Category 1 of the AIF regulations and is an investment fund that manages money from investors seeking private equity stakes in start-up and small and medium-size enterprises that show strong growth potential. These investments are generally characterized as high-risk/high-return opportunities.
Infrastructure Funds:
The Indian economy requires huge investments in developing infrastructure like roads and power. Infrastructure funds channelize investments into these companies and thus make money for investors.
Category 2: Private equity funds
Category 3: Hedge Funds

GOLD ETF
Gold Exchange Traded Funds are close ended funds that track the gold prices in India. Gold is regarded as one of the best hedging tools – be it against inflation, currency, stocks or fixed income. Gold protects one’s portfolio from volatility against micro and macro-economic factors that tend to have significant impact on other asset classes, as they have virtually no or little impact on gold prices.

What you should know about reviewing mutual fund investments ?

Mutual fund investments, along with fixed deposits and direct equity, are among the three most common forms of investments. People with a little bit of risk appetite usually prefer investing in mutual funds. Unlike with fixed deposits, where most people put all their eggs in one basket (a huge chunk of money in order to draw higher incomes from the interest), or equity stocks (which run a higher risk and can be slightly unpredictable by nature) mutual funds can be termed as one of the safest, low-risk forms of investments in which investors can park their monies in several different funds of small amounts. But it is also important to review mutual funds, both before investing and also, periodically after. Visit http://www.karvywealth.com/
