While mentioning about the suitability, the fund house said that the product category is suitable for sophisticated investors who are well-versed with financial markets and possess a relatively high risk appetite, seeking more evolved investment strategies.

What is Specialized Investment Fund - Sebi's new asset class The market regulator Sebi has introduced a Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) framework to bridge the gap between mutual funds (MFs) and portfolio management services (PMS) and it aims to provide sophisticated investors with more flexible investment opportunities while ensuring regulatory oversight. The new framework is effective from April 1, 2025. Investment Strategies Under SIFs SIFs will offer multiple investment strategies across equity, debt, and hybrid asset classes. There will be three equity oriented investment strategies - equity long short fund, equity ex-top 100 long-short fund, and sector rotation long-short fund. In Equity Long-Short Fund, the minimum investment in equity and equity related instruments will be 80% and maximum short exposure through unhedged derivative positions in equity and equity related instruments will be 25%, according to Sebi's circular.

Commenting on precious metals, Quant Mutual Fund said that August month tends to be, seasonally, more bullish for Gold and the fund house analysis have endorsed that Gold has peaked out around $ 3,500/Oz. and a medium-term top is in place and it has potential to correct by 12-15% in dollar terms over the next two months. The fund house further said that their medium-term and long-term views are equally constructive and a meaningful percentage of the portfolio should be dedicated towards precious metals. Though for crude oil and Bitcoin , August is seasonally a bullish month, the predictive analytics by the fund house are showing early signs of weakness and crude and other commodities can correct over the next two months as DXY has already bottomed out and it will recover further in the short-term, the monthly release said. For global equity, the fund house said, 'Seasonally, August is mildly bearish and the US market is now showing signs of complacency and quant's vulnerability indicators are spiking. When we combine these with Volatility Analytics, then a more defensive approach in rebalancing and reconstructing the portfolio is warranted, even as the geopolitical environment remains constructive.' Quant Mutual Fund continues to believe that a significant US Dollar devaluation is the only practical way to address the US' spiraling debt crisis and the relevance of global central banks is declining as they are unable to control inflation and bring about effective revival in economic conditions.'

'Moreover, Trump warned of an additional, unspecified 'Penalty' on India for its continued trade with Russia, thus leaving a fair amount of uncertainty to chew on for the markets. The only ray of hope is pharmaceuticals, which has been exempted so far, and thus India generics appear to be a relatively safe sector,' it further said.

Four arrested in Rs 3 crore online investment fraud in Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: The Cybercrime police arrested four persons in connection with an online investment scam, in which a Hyderabad resident lost Rs 3 crore. The accused have been identified as Srinivas Manubothula, a software consultant from Narsingi, Rangareddy, Syed Yousuf, a real estate agent from Aghapura, Chekka Yeshaya alias Shekar from Banjara Hills, and Mohammed Jaber Ahmed, a businessman from Mehdipatnam. According to the police, the victim, a resident of North Lalaguda, lodged a complaint on June 28 alleging that on April 14, a woman named Anu Pritha Daga, posing as an assistant mentor to one Ajay Garg, purported to be the CEO of SMC Global Securities Ltd, invited him to join an online investment group via WhatsApp. On May 29, Daga persuaded the complainant to invest in the group through a website link she shared. Claiming they provided SEBI-approved trading and cash management services, she convinced him to invest in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of a fictitious company, 'Influx Health Tech Ltd'. The complainant was allegedly allotted shares worth Rs 49 crore without his consent. When he raised objections, the fraudsters agreed to reduce the allotment and requested Rs 3 crore, which he transferred across 16 bank accounts. Initially, he was allowed to withdraw Rs 10,000 to build trust. However, he was later told his account had gone into a negative balance due to non-payment for the Rs 49 crore worth of shares. When they demanded more money, he realised he had been tricked. Srinivas had started a drone software company in 2023 and opened a current account in the name of 'Drones Spray'. Facing financial losses, he was introduced to others who wanted to use accounts for 'investments'. In exchange, he was promised a 10% commission on the deposited amount. Syed Yousuf and his accomplice allegedly travelled to Mumbai with the SIM card linked to Srinivas' bank account. Fraudsters transferred Rs 4.3 crore into the account, which was then distributed across various accounts via net banking.
