RedHex Hybrid Long-Short and qSIF Hybrid Long-Short are both hybrid long-short Specialized Investment Funds, but from different houses — HSBC runs RedHex Hybrid Long-Short and Quant runs qSIF Hybrid Long-Short. qSIF Hybrid Long-Short was the earlier of the two, launching in October 2025; RedHex Hybrid Long-Short followed in June 2026. Hybrid Long-Short SIFs invest across equity and debt and can take limited short positions — up to 25% of net assets — through derivatives, aiming for equity-like participation with a cushion when markets fall.
Both sit inside SEBI's ₹10 lakh SIF category (₹1 lakh for accredited investors) and are compared below on live official AMFI NAVs — five return windows, expense ratio, AUM and risk band, refreshed every trading day.
