The definition above is the short version. A full explanation — how it works, a worked example and the exam traps — is still being written. In the meantime the chapter below covers it in context.
Written up from the same chapter
- Accredited InvestorAn investor certified by an accreditation agency as meeting SEBI's income or net-worth tests, and therefore allowed into products on relaxed terms — including below the Rs 1 crore AIF floor.
- Angel FundA sub-category of Category I AIF, registered with SEBI specifically as an angel fund, which raises money from angel investors and invests it in start-ups deal by deal rather than through schemes.
- Angel InvestorAn accredited investor, or key management personnel of an angel fund or its manager, who puts capital into start-ups and early-stage ventures through an angel fund.
- Category I AIFThe AIF category for funds the government or a regulator treats as socially or economically desirable — venture capital, angel, SME, social impact, infrastructure, special situation and CDMDF funds.
- Category II AIFThe residual AIF category: anything that is neither Category I nor Category III and takes no fund-level leverage beyond a narrow temporary carve-out — private equity, private debt and fund-of-funds.
- Commitment PeriodThe window in a closed-ended fund during which the manager may call capital against commitments — and the period over which management fee is charged on committed rather than invested capital.
