Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are steadily becoming an important part of portfolio allocation for HNI and Ultra- HNI investors in India. Investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional equity and debt products in search of differentiated opportunities, better diversification, and professionally managed strategies that can navigate varying market conditions.

According to SEBI data, commitments in India’s AIF industry stood at nearly INR 15.74 lakh crore by December 2025, compared to INR 13.05 lakh crore a year earlier.

The industry has continued to witness strong participation across private equity, venture capital, private credit, listed equities and long-short strategies, reflecting a broader shift towards alternative investments among sophisticated investors.

At the same time, India’s combined PMS and AIF industry has crossed INR 23 lakh crore in assets under management, highlighting the growing trust investors are placing in customised and research-driven wealth management solutions.

At ALTPORT Funds, emerging as one of the largest platforms for investing in Alternates, the approach towards wealth creation is centred on disciplined fund manager selection, portfolio quality, and long-term capital compounding.

The objective is not to chase temporary outperformance, but to help investors create meaningful long-term assets through carefully selected PMS and AIF strategies aligned with their financial goals.

This structured approach helps investors avoid random allocation decisions and instead focus on long-term wealth creation through disciplined strategy selection, portfolio diversification, and risk-aware investing. The emphasis remains on creating portfolios that can withstand market volatility while steadily compounding wealth over time.

Leading this vision is Mr. Vikas Agrawal, Founder & CEO of ALTPORT, who brings more than 24 years of experience working with HNI and Ultra-HNI investors. His background includes leadership roles at Motilal Oswal and HSBC, where he advised investors across multiple market cycles.

Influenced by value investing principles and learnings from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, his approach combines bottom-up investing with macroeconomic understanding and liquidity-cycle analysis.

ALTPORT is honoured to receive recognition at the FFFP SIF & AIF Meet 2026 held at BSE Mumbai for Outstanding Achievements in SIF/AIF for the year 2025-26. The recognition reflects the growing importance of investor-focused research and thoughtful capital allocation within India’s alternative investment ecosystem.

A special appreciation to Financial Freedom Fraternity Professional (FFFP) for building a platform that brings together fund managers, wealth advisors, financial professionals, and investors for meaningful discussions around PMS, SIFs, and AIFs. Such initiatives are contributing significantly towards investor awareness and industry development.

Furthermore, ALTPORT also appreciates Finance Outlook India for partnering as the media platform for the FFFP SIF & AIF Meet 2026 and supporting awareness around one of India’s fastest-growing investment categories.

Their contribution towards investor education and industry visibility is helping more investors understand how the role alternative investments can play in long-term wealth creation.
