What are Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)?

AIFs, or Alternative Investment Funds, are pooled investment vehicles that cater to investors looking for unique investment opportunities outside the mainstream markets. These funds encompass a variety of asset classes such as private equity, hedge funds, real estate, venture capital, and more. AIFs are ideal for those seeking higher returns, portfolio diversification, and exposure to less volatile, often innovative, market segments.

At Helios Global, our expert wealth management team helps you navigate the complexities of AIF investments, ensuring that you have access to professionally managed, high-potential investment options tailored to your financial goals and risk appetite.

Types of AIFs at Helios Global

At Helios Global, we offer access to all three categories of AIFs, each catering to different types of investors and financial objectives:

  1. Category I AIF: This category includes funds that invest in sectors that are socially and economically beneficial, such as infrastructure, startups, and SMEs. These funds are often backed by government initiatives and provide long-term growth opportunities with incentives for investors.
  2. Category II AIF: Category II AIFs are designed for investors seeking exposure to private equity, debt funds, and other pooled investments that don’t employ leverage. These funds are best for investors looking for moderate risk and steady returns over the medium to long term.
  3. Category III AIF: These funds are designed for high-risk, high-reward investments, using strategies such as hedge funds, derivatives, or commodities trading. Category III AIFs are ideal for investors with a high-risk tolerance looking for aggressive returns in the short term.
