Alt Launches India’s First PMS for REITs and InvITs
India’s alternative investment industry has grown rapidly, expanding from nearly $30 billion in 2019 to around $150 billion in 2025. This surge reflects global trends, where alternatives now account for nearly 15% of total investments. Riding this momentum, Alt, a leading alternative investment platform, has introduced India’s first Portfolio Management Service (PMS) that invests exclusively in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs).
Through this PMS, investors can access institutional-grade real estate and infrastructure assets without the challenges of direct property ownership. REITs typically generate 5.5–6% yields from rental income, while InvITs focusing on toll roads and infrastructure projects deliver 13–14% yields. A blended portfolio is expected to offer 9–10% yields plus capital growth, translating into 12–15% annual returns. With a minimum investment of ₹50 lakh, Alt’s PMS caters to sophisticated investors seeking diversification, steady income, and long-term appreciation.

The PMS structure was chosen for its transparency, governance, and liquidity. Each investor’s holdings are maintained in a separate demat account, ensuring complete control and segregation. Unlike traditional real estate, REITs and InvITs are publicly listed, allowing investors to enter and exit with ease through T+2 settlements, similar to equity shares. This flexibility, coupled with regulated frameworks, makes them a superior choice for professionals, high-net-worth individuals, and retirees seeking inflation-protected income.
What sets Alt apart is its first-mover advantage and deep industry expertise. The founding team brings decades of experience from Property Share and Blackstone, while an advisory board of regulators and industry leaders adds credibility. Investors can explore, onboard, and manage their portfolios digitally through AltInvest.ai, streamlining the entire process within hours. By bridging the gap between traditional real estate and modern financial markets, Alt is redefining real estate investing in India with transparent, liquid, and regulated solutions.
