SIFs, introduced by SEBI in early 2025, are designed as a middle ground between traditional mutual funds and high-ticket portfolio management services (PMS). They offer actively managed exposure across equities, debt, REITs, InvITs, private equity, and derivatives, with stronger governance and transparency standards. The minimum investment starts at Rs 10 lakh.
FYERS has integrated offerings from fund houses such as SBI, Quant, and Edelweiss into its platform. Investors can now explore, compare, and invest in these funds without additional paperwork or the need to use third-party portals. Each fund profile includes details about the strategy, historical performance, and the fund manager’s background, allowing investors greater visibility before making decisions.
According to the company, the addition of SIFs is intended to help self-directed investors access a broader range of professionally managed strategies while maintaining flexibility and tax efficiency similar to mutual funds. For investors seeking structured portfolio management but without the higher cost and complexity of PMS, SIFs are positioned as an accessible alternative.
Commenting on the development, FYERS co-founder and CEO Tejas Khoday said the initiative aims to “democratize access to specialized investment approaches once limited to the ultra-wealthy.” He added that the integration makes such funds “visible, comparable, and actionable” for retail investors.
Founded in 2015, FYERS is a technology-focused brokerage that serves over one million traders and investors, including retail, NRI, and institutional clients. The company offers a trading ecosystem combining charting tools, analytics, and AI-driven features like its FIA trading assistant.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
