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.
• Client level segregationThe SEBI rule that no single client may receive both advisory and distribution services from the same investment adviser group — each client is one or the other, never both.
• Compliance Test ReportThe annual self-certification an AIF manager prepares in SEBI's prescribed format, testing the fund against the AIF Regulations and routed through the sponsor and trustee for comment.
• Connected personA person whose association with a company in the six months before the act put them, or could reasonably be expected to put them, in a position to access unpublished price sensitive information.
• Credit Default SwapA contract in which a protection buyer pays a regular premium to a protection seller, who agrees to pay any loss in value on a specified reference obligation if a credit event such as default occurs.
• Fiduciary capacityThe legal standing in which an investment adviser or portfolio manager must act — putting the client's interest ahead of its own and disclosing every conflict of interest as it arises.
