Alternative Investment Funds Push for Streamlined Accreditation and Enhanced Incentives.
India's Alternative Investment Fund Industry Seeks to Broaden Access to Wealthy Investors
MUMBAI: India's alternative investment fund (AIF) industry is pushing to increase access to a relatively small but rapidly expanding pool of high net worth individuals. The sector is currently facing a challenge in attracting more investors due to a perceived cumbersome accreditation process and limited incentives.
The industry has been growing at a rapid pace, with the total assets under management (AUM) of AIFs increasing from Rs 3.4 trillion in 2020 to Rs 5.1 trillion in 2022. However, the pace of growth has been hindered by regulatory hurdles and a lack of incentives for investors.
| Sector | AUM (2020) | AUM (2022) | Growth Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) | Rs 3.4 trillion | Rs 5.1 trillion | 50% |
