SEBI's GARUDA Framework Speeds Launch of Alternative Investment Funds
SEBI's new GARUDA framework reduces the launch time for eligible Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) schemes to 10 working days, replacing a process that previously took about a month. This aims to improve ease of doing business and enable faster capital deployment, benefiting fund managers and investors. AIFs differ from mutual funds by targeting high-net-worth investors, requiring larger minimum investments, and offering greater investment flexibility with longer lock-in periods. Experts note the framework may enhance efficiency without causing an immediate surge in new fund launches.
