360 ONE Mutual Fund has announced the launch of DynaSIF, a new investment platform for sophisticated investors built on SEBI's Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) framework. The platform's debut strategy, the DynaSIF Equity Long-Short Fund, will open for subscription the following day, marking 360 ONE's formal entry into a category that has been steadily filling up with entrants from across India's asset management industry since April 2025.

Where the name comes from The "Dyna" brand is inspired by the Greek word dynamis, meaning power and strength — chosen to reflect the platform's focus on dynamic, unbiased and adaptive portfolios designed to perform across market cycles rather than depend on any single market direction. According to the AMC, DynaSIF is intended to build strategies across the risk curve over time, while maintaining strong governance, transparency and risk discipline.

About 360 ONE Mutual Fund With assets under management of around ₹13,479 crore across its existing equity, hybrid and debt mutual fund schemes, 360 ONE Mutual Fund brings deep domain knowledge of India's equity markets to the SIF category. The AMC has framed its entry as a natural extension of its broader positioning — creating risk-adjusted alpha for investors seeking to participate in India's growth story — into a product category that offers considerably more flexibility than conventional mutual funds.

Commenting on the launch, Anup Maheshwari, Co-Founder & Chief Investment Officer of 360 ONE Asset Management, said the SIF framework allows for greater flexibility, institutional-grade risk management and outcome-oriented strategies, while retaining the governance and taxation efficiencies associated with the mutual fund structure.

What SIFs offer relative to mutual funds

  • Minimum investment threshold of ₹10 lakh (₹1 lakh for accredited investors)

  • Limited unhedged short-selling flexibility, up to 25% of the portfolio

  • Enhanced hedging tools not available to conventional mutual fund managers

  • A distinct, clearly identifiable brand — separate from the AMC's regular mutual fund range, as required under SEBI's SIF rules

360 ONE's move into SIFs follows a wave of similar launches from AMCs including Edelweiss (Altiva), Aditya Birla Sun Life (Apex), Bandhan (Arudha) and ITI Mutual Fund (Diviniti), among others, positioning DynaSIF as a relatively later — but well-resourced — entrant into an increasingly competitive segment of India's investment landscape.
