Edelweiss Mutual Fund, through its Altiva SIF platform, has announced the launch of the Altiva Hybrid Long-Short Fund — a differentiated investment strategy under its Specialised Investment Fund (SIF). The New Fund Offer (NFO) will be open for subscription from October 1 to October 15, 2025.

The Altiva Hybrid Long-Short Fund is an interval investment strategy that aims to deliver consistent, income-oriented returns through a core allocation in equity arbitrage and high-quality fixed income. This is complemented by selective opportunities in special situations in equity markets such as IPOs, buybacks, open offers, and mergers, pair trades along with low-risk derivative strategies like covered calls and straddles. This combination of multiple strategies aims for smoother outcomes regardless of overall market direction in the medium term according to them. 

Mrs. Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, said, we are proud to introduce India’s first Hybrid SIF with the launch of the Altiva Hybrid Long-Short Fund. This reflects our commitment to creating innovative investment solutions that not only address investor needs but also add meaningful value to their overall portfolios. We believe the SIF category has tremendous potential, and we will leverage our investment team’s experience, especially in equity derivatives and special situations.

Altiva Hybrid Long Short Fund has been thoughtfully designed to adapt across market cycles - whether flat, bullish, or bearish - aiming to generate stable, income-oriented and tax-efficient returns, with an additional boost from selective opportunities in special situations and derivatives. At Edelweiss AMC, we recognize that investors seek both resilience and growth, and this fund is a strong step forward in delivering that through discipline, diversification, and innovation.
