SEBI Expands Accredited Investor Criteria and Standardizes AIF Consent Threshold
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has expanded and standardized its alternative investment fund (AIF) framework. It introduced a manager-led accreditation process for investors, valid for three years and portable within the same group, alongside existing accreditation agencies. SEBI also set a uniform 75% investor consent threshold for key AIF decisions and broadened the related-party framework. Additionally, individuals and entities with securities market exposure of Rs 5 crore or more now qualify as accredited investors, aiming to simplify processes and enhance clarity for fund managers and investors.
