Savvy investors diversify across asset classes like equities, fixed income, real estate, and alternative investments. Alternative assets include private equity, venture capital, and various debt instruments. In India, Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) fall into three categories: startups and infrastructure, diverse trading methods, and others. Alternative investments represent 12% of India s AUM and are the fastest-growing segment with a 24% compound growth rate.
