SEBI Advances Regulatory Reforms and Investor Expansion in India's AIF Industry
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is advancing regulatory reforms for Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) to balance flexibility with stronger governance and investor protection. SEBI plans to expand the accredited investor pool from 1 lakh to 4 lakh and emphasize data-driven, risk-based supervision. Former SEBI chairman U.K. Sinha highlighted the need for greater AIF contributions to early-stage innovation and noted improved exit opportunities for foreign investors. The industry has grown significantly, now second only to mutual funds in capital mobilization.
