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

• Algorithmic tradingAny order generated by automated execution logic rather than typed in by a person — software that pushes buy and sell orders into the exchange once its parameters are met.
• Authorised personTwo different entities share this name: under SEBI, an agent appointed by a stock broker to give clients access to the trading platform; under FEMA, a dealer authorised by RBI to deal in foreign exchange.
• Base Expense RatioThe management-and-administration slice of a scheme's cost, capped by the SEBI slabs — the first and largest of the four components that add up to Total Expense Ratio.
• 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.
• Due diligence certificateThe formal certificate a lead manager signs and files with SEBI at prescribed stages of an issue, confirming that it has verified the issuer's disclosures and that the offer document is compliant.
