ITI Mutual Fund (ITIMF) is a trusted name in India's asset management space, known for disciplined investment approaches and investor-centric values. In 2025, ITI AMC made its debut in the Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) space by launching Diviniti SIF-a new umbrella for alternative and sophisticated investment strategies that bridge the gap between traditional mutual funds and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs).

Diviniti SIF offers investors access to institutional-grade strategies with equity taxation benefits, greater flexibility than traditional mutual funds, and lower entry barriers. In November 2025, Diviniti SIF launched its flagship Diviniti Equity Long-Short Fund, ITI AMC's first SIF offering. The fund employs a dynamic long-short strategy with net equity exposure ranging from -25% (net short) to +95% depending on market conditions.
