ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund is set to launch its first Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) New Fund Offers (NFOs) on January 16, marking a key milestone in the fund house’s alternative investment strategy space.
The NFOs will feature long-short investment strategies, aimed at sophisticated investors seeking diversified and market-neutral return opportunities.
Key Features of ICICI Prudential SIF NFOs
- NFO opening date: January 16
- Fund category: Specialised Investment Fund (SIF)
- Investment strategy: Long-short
- Minimum investment: ₹10 lakh
Both long-short strategies will be available under:
- Regular Plan and Direct Plan
- Growth option only
Investment Modes Available
Investors can participate through:
- Lump sum investments
- Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs)
All investments will be subject to the ₹10 lakh minimum investment requirement, as per the SIF framework.
Who Are These Funds Suitable For?
Long-short funds typically aim to:
- Generate returns in both rising and falling markets
- Reduce downside risk through hedging strategies
- Offer diversification beyond traditional equity mutual funds
Given the higher minimum investment and strategy complexity, these SIF NFOs are best suited for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and sophisticated investors with a higher risk appetite.
