IPOs, Pre-IPO, Long-Short strategies: How to make money in 2025 with Alternative Investment Funds

representative image

The IPO boom of 2024 is far from over. With 2,000 IPOs expected in the next two years (as per AIBI), India’s equity market is in overdrive. High-growth sectors like tech, e-commerce, and fintech are leading the charge, with recent listings like Swiggy, MobiKwik, and PharmEasy drawing strong investor interest.

But here’s the catch—not all IPOs are winners. Volatility has hit post-IPO performances, as seen in RK Swamy, ACME Solar, and others  making pre-IPO investments and alternative strategies even more crucial.

The answer? Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs).

AIFs give investors early access to pre-IPO companies, startups, and private equity—offering a chance to ride the growth wave before these companies hit the public markets. And in today’s unpredictable environment, AIFs also open doors to strategies that work well in rising as well as falling markets -- like long-short, private equity plays, and alternative debt investments, which help investors protect and grow their portfolios.
