HDFC MF enters SIF segment with launch of hybrid long-short strategy

HDFC Mutual Fund has entered the Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) segment with the launch of its new investment platform, H-SIF Hybrid Long-Short Fund. The new fund offering will be open between November 13-27, with a minimum investment of ₹10 lakh across SIF strategies at the PAN level. The fund will follow an Arbitrage+ approach, combining high-quality debt securities, arbitrage opportunities, and REITs/InvITs as its core portfolio, with limited exposure to short positions through derivatives.

The strategy aims to generate returns through interest income, arbitrage spreads, option premiums, and tactical opportunities arising from corporate events, while being designed for flat, mildly rising, and volatile market conditions.
