Sebi Simplifies Accredited Investor Certification with Manager-Led Verification
Sebi has eased the accredited investor framework by allowing fund and portfolio managers to verify and certify investor status, supplementing the existing accreditation agency route. This manager-led accreditation, valid for three years and recognized within the same corporate group, aims to simplify and expedite investor onboarding for Alternative Investment Funds, Specialized Investment Funds, and portfolio management services. Managers must maintain verification records for at least five years. Persons residing outside India are also deemed accredited investors without separate certification.
