AIFs are governed by the <strong>SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012</strong>, which established a comprehensive framework distinct from the <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/mutual-fund-industry-india/">mutual fund</a> and <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/portfolio-management-service-india/">Portfolio Management Service</a> frameworks. AIFs occupy the position between PMS (per-client portfolios for HNIs) and mutual funds (pooled retail products), as <strong>pooled vehicles for sophisticated investors with substantial minimum-investment thresholds and strategy flexibility</strong>.</p>
