Written up from the same chapter
- Asset Management CompanyThe company that runs a mutual fund's schemes day to day — appointed by the sponsor or trustees with SEBI's approval, and paid a fee out of the scheme rather than a share of its profits.
- 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.
- CustodianThe SEBI-registered entity that holds a fund's securities in accounts of its own and settles its trades, so the assets sit somewhere other than with the manager who decides what to buy.
- Execution only platformA SEBI-recognised digital platform that carries out subscription, redemption and switch transactions in direct plans of mutual fund schemes only — registered with AMFI (Category 1) or as a stock broker (Category 2).
- Fit and proper personThe character and record test in Schedule II of the SEBI (Intermediaries) Regulations, 2008 that an AIF's applicant, sponsor and manager must satisfy for registration and must keep satisfying afterwards.
- Investment Management AgreementThe agreement between the trustee, acting for the AIF, and the investment manager, by which the trustee delegates its entire investment management power — and by which the manager can later be removed.
