<\/a>Markets regulator Sebi <\/a>has allowed as many as 209 entities to set AIFs, pooled-in investment vehicles for real estate, private equity and hedge funds, over a period of 42 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 209 Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) have been registered with Sebi since August 12.<\/p>\n

Among the newly registered AIFs are Kotak India Real Estate Fund, Ideaspring Capital Fund, IDFC Private Equity Fund <\/a>and Canara Bank Venture Development Trust.<\/p>\n

AIFs are funds established or incorporated in India for the purpose of pooling in capital from Indian and foreign investors for investing as per a pre-decided policy. Under Sebi guidelines, AIFs can operate broadly in three categories.<\/p>\n

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) rules apply to all AIFs, including those operating as private equity funds, real estate funds and hedge funds among others.<\/p>\n

The regulator had notified in May 2012, the guidelines or this class of market intermediaries.<\/p>\n

The Category-I AIFs are those funds that get incentives from the government, Sebi or other regulators and include social venture funds, infrastructure funds, venture capital funds and SME funds.<\/p>\n

The Category-III AIFs are those trading with a view to making short-term returns and includes hedge funds among others. The Category-II AIFs can invest anywhere in any combination but are prohibited from raising debt, except for meeting their day-to-day operational requirements.<\/p>\n

These AIFs include private equity funds, debt funds or fund of funds, as also all others falling outside the ambit of above two other categories.<\/p>\n
