Complete List of SIF Funds in India (2026): AMCs, Brands & Schemes
Every AMC running Specialised Investment Funds has to launch under a brand name distinct from its regular mutual fund business — which makes the category confusing to track. Here's every AMC and SIF brand live or launching in India, in one place.
📊 Key Data Point
SIF industry AUM reached approximately ₹17,858 crore across 27 schemes as of 30 June 2026 (AMFI) — up from roughly ₹2,010 crore in October 2025. Around 16 AMCs now operate SIF businesses, spanning 5 of SEBI's 7 defined SIF categories.

AMCs in NFO or Approved-but-Awaiting-Launch Stage
Beyond the AMCs already live, several more have secured SEBI approval and are either running an NFO or preparing to launch:
- Union Mutual Fund — Arthaya SIF (Arthaya Equity Long-Short Fund)
- Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund — Sapphire SIF
- The Wealth Company Mutual Fund — WSIF
- DSP Mutual Fund — Endurance SIF
- HDFC Mutual Fund — SIF licence secured, brand and products in development
Axis Mutual Fund and a few other large fund houses have reportedly applied for SIF licences and are awaiting SEBI approval as of mid-2026.
Strategy Categories Represented
SEBI defines seven possible SIF categories across equity, debt and hybrid buckets. As of mid-2026, live schemes span five of these:
- Equity Long-Short — the largest category by scheme count
- Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short — targets mid and small-cap alpha outside the largest 100 stocks
- Hybrid Long-Short — the largest category by AUM, roughly 76% of total SIF assets
- Active Asset Allocator Long-Short — dynamic allocation across equity, debt and derivatives
- Sector Rotation Long-Short — concentrated, rotating sector bets with short hedges
Debt Long-Short and Sectoral Debt Long-Short — the remaining two SEBI-defined categories — had no live schemes as of mid-2026.

How to Actually Invest in One
Unlike mutual funds, SIF availability on regular investment apps is still uneven. Some AMCs run a dedicated SIF platform entirely separate from their mutual fund website (for example, Altiva SIF and Magnum SIF have their own portals), while third-party platforms are gradually adding SIF support. Before investing, check the specific AMC's SIF website directly, or look up the scheme on AMFI's SIF section for current availability and the exact minimum investment and transaction process for that AMC.

How many SIF schemes are live in India?
Around 27-30 live or NFO-stage SIF schemes from roughly 13-16 AMCs as of mid-2026, with SIF industry AUM reported at approximately ₹17,858 crore as of 30 June 2026 (AMFI). The exact count changes frequently as more AMCs launch, so check AMFI's SIF section for the current live figure.
Which AMCs were first to launch SIFs?
Edelweiss Mutual Fund (Altiva SIF), SBI Mutual Fund (Magnum SIF) and quant Mutual Fund (qSIF) were among the earliest to launch live SIF schemes, followed by ICICI Prudential (iSIF), Tata (Titanium SIF), ITI (Diviniti SIF), 360 ONE (Dyna SIF) and Bandhan (Arudha SIF).
Why do SIFs have separate brand names instead of the AMC's mutual fund name?
SEBI requires every AMC to operate its SIF business under a brand identity distinct from its regular mutual fund platform, to keep the higher-risk, higher-minimum SIF category clearly separated from standard mutual fund products in investors' minds.
