What's the minimum investment for an AIF in India?
SEBI mandates a minimum investment of ₹1 crore per investor for most AIF categories (with a lower ₹25 lakh threshold for AIF employees/directors in some cases). On the fund side, SEBI also requires AIFs to raise a minimum corpus depending on the scheme type before they can operationally launch — this protects against thinly-capitalized, high-risk vehicles. So there are two separate minimums to know: what you personally need to commit (₹1 Cr), and what the fund itself needs to raise before it's SEBI-compliant to operate.

AIFs are SEBI-regulated funds (Category I, II, III) that pool capital from HNIs and institutions to invest in private equity, venture capital, SMEs, and other alternative assets, typically requiring a ₹1 crore minimum. Alpha AMC operates one such Category I AIF. Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) give sophisticated investors regulated access to private markets — startups, SMEs, and private equity. Alpha AMC manages a SEBI-registered AIF in this space.
