SIF Eligibility & Understanding Check

Eight short questions about your circumstances. You get a plain summary of the SIF rules and risks that relate to your answers: the minimum investment, derivatives and short positions, redemption terms, tax and track record. No score, no allocation and no fund names.

Question 1 of 8
Question 1 of 8

What is the approximate value of your liquid investments?

Liquid here means equity, mutual funds, FDs, debt funds, PMS and AIF, excluding real estate and ULIPs.
Question 2 of 8

Do you hold an accredited investor certificate?

Accreditation is conferred by a SEBI-recognised Accreditation Agency after document verification. It is a formal certificate, not a self-assessment.
Question 3 of 8

What is your annual income (or HUF income)?

Some gains, such as those on debt-oriented strategies, are taxed at your income-tax slab rate.
Question 4 of 8

How long do you expect to stay invested?

Your holding period affects how gains are taxed. It does not remove the risk of loss.
Question 5 of 8

How would you feel about a temporary fall in the value of your investment?

A drawdown is a fall from a previous peak. SIF values move with markets and can fall.
Question 6 of 8

What is your main reason for looking at SIFs?

This decides which comparisons and reading your summary includes.
Question 7 of 8

Do you currently hold PMS or AIF Category III investments?

SIFs, PMS and AIF Category III are different vehicles, with different rules, costs and tax treatment.
Question 8 of 8

Might you need to withdraw this money at short notice?

Redemption terms vary by SIF strategy. Not every strategy allows redemption on every business day.
