Important disclosure — please read
For Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIF), Money Compound may refer clients to SEBI-registered Portfolio Managers / AIF managers. Money Compound does not distribute, select, or advise on PMS or AIF products, and is not registered with APMI. Onboarding, scheme selection, performance reporting and grievance handling for AIF is the responsibility of the SEBI-registered AIF manager. AIF investments involve significant risk, illiquidity and high minimum tickets (currently ₹1 crore as per SEBI norms) and are intended for sophisticated investors only.
What is an AIF?
An Alternative Investment Fund is a privately pooled investment vehicle registered with SEBI under the SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012. AIFs invest in asset classes outside the traditional equity-debt-cash universe, such as private equity, venture capital, real-estate funds, and long-short strategies.
AIFs are designed for sophisticated investors. The minimum ticket size (₹1 crore as per current SEBI norms), lock-ins, and risks are governed by the AIF Regulations and managed by the SEBI-registered AIF manager — not by Money Compound.
