Written up from the same chapter

• Compliance OfficerThe separately appointed officer of a merchant banker, listed company or intermediary who monitors compliance with securities law, handles investor grievances, and reports non-compliance to SEBI independently.
• 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.
• ControlIn the beneficial-ownership tests, the right to appoint a majority of directors or to control management or policy decisions — the limb that catches an owner holding no shares at all.
• Put optionA contract giving its buyer the right, but never the obligation, to sell the underlying at a fixed strike price — insurance against a fall, bought for a premium.
• Stewardship codeSEBI's mandatory code requiring all AIFs and mutual funds to monitor, engage with and vote in the listed companies they invest in — and to publish the policies by which they do it.
• Systemic riskThe risk that one participant's default triggers defaults by others until the settlement system itself fails — the domino risk, not the market risk.
