India’s investment ecosystem is evolving rapidly, with private market investing emerging as a powerful alternative to traditional public equities. At Fiducrest, based in GIFT City, we are focused on delivering these opportunities through Pooled Investment Funds and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs), specifically targeting Category II Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). This approach positions us—and our investors—at the leading edge of India’s alternative investment revolution.

GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City) has transformed the playing field for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) seeking to invest in India. Through Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), NRIs can now channel their capital into the country’s high-growth sectors—without the bureaucracy, tax complications, or currency conversion headaches that traditionally deterred offshore investment.

Capital allocation among alternative investment vehicles is a critical decision for sophisticated investors seeking growth, diversification, and personalized solutions. At Fiducrest, based in GIFT City, we specialize in Category II Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and offer two distinctive options: Pooled Investment Funds and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). Understanding the differences between these structures enables our clients to select the right fit for their individual capital and strategic goals.
