| Edelweiss Mutual Fund has filed draft papers with SEBI to launch Altiva Hybrid Long-Short Fund, India’s first hybrid Specialized Investment Fund (SIF). The fund will follow a hybrid long-short interval strategy, investing across equities, debt, derivatives, and special situations to balance growth and risk.
Radhika Gupta, CEO of Edelweiss MF, confirmed the development on X, calling it a “India's first hybrid SIF”. The fund will be benchmarked against the NIFTY 50 Hybrid Composite Debt 15:85 Index and managed by Bhavesh Jain, Bharat Lahoti, Dhawal Dalal and Amit Vora.
The scheme will allow redemptions twice a week and will also be listed on the NSE for demat investors. It will be available in regular and direct plans with growth and IDCW options.
Minimum investments are set at Rs 10 lakh for general investors and Rs 1 lakh for accredited investors, with SIP/STP/SWP starting from Rs 10,000. An exit load of 0.5% applies for redemptions within 180 days.
Edelweiss had launched its SIF business, Altiva, in May this year to offer differentiated strategies across equity, hybrid and fixed income.
