AIF Structuring, Registration & Management

← Capital Markets, Fund Management & Listed Entity Advisory

We provide full-lifecycle advisory and execution support for fund sponsors, domestic asset managers, and global institutional investors structuring and operating Alternative Investment Funds under SEBI and IFSCA (GIFT City) regimes.

At the formation stage, we advise on tax-efficient vehicle selection — Trust, LLP, or Corporate — and manage end-to-end licensing for Category I (Venture Capital, Infrastructure, Social Impact), Category II (Private Equity, Debt, Real Estate), and Category III (Hedge Funds, Public Market Strategies) AIFs. We author all core fund documentation: Private Placement Memorandums, Indentures of Trust, Contribution Agreements, and Investment Management Agreements.

For complex strategies, we structure special situation and distressed debt funds, co-investment frameworks, and social impact platforms. We design cross-border master-feeder and parallel fund structures to connect foreign limited partners with Indian assets, draft term sheets, negotiate LP Side Letters, and establish Investment Committee charters and LP Advisory Committees (LPACs).

Through the operational phase, we manage LP onboarding and KYC/AML/Accredited Investor verification, advise on portfolio acquisitions, and maintain ongoing SEBI/IFSCA filings, NAV disclosures, and annual PPM audits. At exit, we guide fund managers through IPOs, secondary buyouts, in-specie distributions, fund extensions, continuation vehicle setups, or formal winding-up — ensuring full statutory alignment at every stage of the fund lifecycle.
