Edelweiss Launches New Hybrid Fund for Affluent Investors

Edelweiss launched the Altiva SIF Hybrid Long-Short Fund (AHLSF), a Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) for wealthier investors.

SIFs are a new type of investment in India, requiring a minimum investment of ₹10 lakh.

The AHLSF invests in stocks, bonds, and uses strategies involving derivatives.

It aims to offer potentially higher returns with strategies like covered calls and protective puts.

Long-term gains are taxed at 12.5% after two years.

Investors should consider carefully, as this investment includes derivatives that are potentially riskier.
