Future of Fund Management: AIFs in GIFT City

Overview

Event Description :

We have the privilege of inviting you all to the Future of Fund Management: AIFs in GIFT City. The event is organised by the Bombay Chamber, under the aegis of the PE&VC Committee on 24th April, 2025 at the Conference Hall, Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry, The Ruby, Dadar from 10.30 am onwards

GIFT City’s International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) is emerging as a prime destination for global investments, offering Indian investment managers a unique platform for expansion. With a favourable regulatory framework and increasing investment opportunities, it has positioned itself as a key player in the financial ecosystem. Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are playing a vital role in channelling capital into emerging sectors, and GIFT City provides an ideal environment for their growth.

The regulatory incentives and global market access available within IFSC have made it an attractive hub for fund managers looking to expand their portfolios. However, navigating evolving regulations, economic uncertainties, and global market trends remains critical for stakeholders. Your expertise in this domain will provide invaluable insights to our esteemed audience, and your presence at this event will play a crucial role in shaping this dialogue and fostering collaboration between key stakeholders.
