What is AIF?
AIFs are registered with SEBI and come in three categories. Category I and II funds usually invest in startups, private companies, infrastructure or private credit. Category III funds can use more complex trading strategies.
The minimum is generally ₹1 crore, and many AIFs lock in your money for several years. So this is money you should be able to leave alone.
