Launch Your Alternative Investment Fund with SEBI-Compliant Registration
Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are professionally managed pooled investment vehicles that invest in startup ventures, private equity, debt instruments, real estate, hedge strategies and other non-traditional asset classes. SEBI mandates registration for all entities raising funds from investors under an AIF structure.
Whether you are setting up a Category I (VC / SME / Social Venture), Category II (Private Equity / Debt), or Category III (Hedge/Fund-of-Funds)-type structure, AIF registration is a detailed compliance-driven process involving regulatory eligibility, fund structure, compliance framework, and governance mechanism. Our expert consulting ensures smooth regulatory navigation from concept to approval.
