Side by Side

How do I compare SIF funds in India?

What is the difference between Hybrid Long-Short and Equity Long-Short SIF?

Hybrid Long-Short SIF funds maintain mandatory exposure to both equity and debt. The debt allocation, typically a minimum of 25%, provides portfolio stability while the equity component drives growth. Equity Long-Short SIF funds, by contrast, must maintain a minimum of 80% equity exposure as mandated by SEBI — making them a higher-risk, higher-return-potential category.

What is Group A and Group B tax in SIF funds?

SIF taxation follows mutual fund principles. Equity-oriented SIF funds (Group A) attract STCG at 20% and LTCG at 12.5% after 12 months. Within Hybrid SIF funds, two sub-groups exist — Group A funds with higher equity exposure attract STCG at 20%, while Group B funds with lower equity exposure attract STCG at applicable income slab rates. LTCG at 12.5% applies to both groups after a 12-month holding period. Download the AND Fintech SIF Tax Guide for a complete fund-by-fund breakdown.

Which SIF fund has the best 3-month return?

Returns vary across funds and categories based on the latest NAV. The AND Fintech SIF Dashboard allows you to sort and compare all 27 live SIF funds by 3-month and since-inception returns in real time. Use the Sort control on the dashboard for a live ranking.

Can I compare SIF funds with different liquidity profiles?

Yes. The AND Fintech SIF Compare Tool displays the liquidity profile of each selected fund — open-ended with daily redemption, or interval with twice-weekly, weekly or fortnightly windows. Liquidity is a critical parameter in SIF selection and is shown prominently in every comparison.
