How Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) works
SIFs can use strategies and exposures not available in ordinary mutual-fund schemes and have a higher minimum investment requirement under the applicable framework. Greater flexibility can also mean greater complexity and risk.
An example
A household should treat the minimum ticket as an eligibility threshold, not evidence that the product deserves a place in the portfolio.
