India access through GIFT City IFSC
A regulated onshore alternative to traditional offshore routing into Indian markets — IFSCA-regulated, foreign-currency settled, structured for international institutional investors.
Why GIFT City for offshore investors
Onshore Indian regulation
GIFT IFSC funds are regulated by IFSCA — an Indian statutory authority. For allocators that want exposure to India without routing through unrelated offshore jurisdictions, this is a direct, supervised path.
Foreign currency settlement
IFSC funds may be denominated and settled in major foreign currencies, enabling natural hedging and simpler operational handling for international investors.
Standardised disclosure
Private Placement Memorandum, risk factors, fee disclosures, and conflicts-of-interest disclosures aligned with international institutional norms.
Differentiated strategy exposure
Systematic long-short quantitative strategies focused on Indian derivative markets — a return stream not easily replicated through long-only ETF exposure.
Practical considerations
- ●Eligibility. Foreign investors and FPIs can invest in IFSCA-regulated AIFs subject to IFSCA frameworks, applicable cross-border rules, and the fund's PPM. Sanctions screening and AML/KYC apply.
- ●Tax considerations. The IFSC regime is designed to be tax-competitive with leading international financial centres. Specific tax outcomes depend on jurisdiction of residency, applicable tax treaties, and individual circumstances — please consult your tax advisor.
- ●Minimum investment. IFSCA regulatory minimum is USD 150,000 per investor (or equivalent), with concessions for accredited investors. Fund-specific terms are in the PPM.
- ●Liquidity. Open-ended structure, monthly liquidity windows, zero exit load, no lock-in period.
