SEBI Category-II AIF Positioning
Understanding our regulatory framework and its implications for investors
Regulatory Framework
Category-II AIFs are regulated under SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012. These funds are prohibited from undertaking leverage except for day-to-day operational requirements, ensuring a disciplined, equity-forward approach to capital deployment.
Investment Universe
Category-II AIFs invest in unlisted securities, distressed assets, real assets, mezzanine structures, and special situation instruments — a universe not accessible through public markets or traditional mutual funds.
Investor Eligibility
Minimum commitment of ₹1 crore per investor. Eligible investors include resident and non-resident individuals, family offices, HUFs, companies, LLPs, trusts, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds meeting SEBI’s accredited investor criteria.

Vision & Philosophy
“Every distressed situation contains within it the seed of extraordinary value — the discipline lies in finding that seed before the market does.”
Disciplined Risk
Every position is underwritten with conservative assumptions, hard-asset backing, and defined downside limits before capital is committed.
Structured Capital
We deploy capital through instruments designed for control, priority, and clear exit pathways — not passive minority exposure.
Strategic Execution
Operational turnaround is not incidental — it is the core mechanism through which value is created and realised.
Governance Framework
Institutional-grade processes that protect investor capital and ensure accountability.
Independent Investment Committee
Fully independent committee with veto rights over all investment decisions, operating separately from the management team.
Institutional Processes
Standardised due diligence, documentation, and approval workflows aligned with institutional best practices.
Transparent Reporting
Quarterly investor reports, independent audits, and real-time portfolio NAV updates for all stakeholders.
Regulatory Compliance
Full SEBI compliance with mandatory filings, investor disclosures, and third-party custodian oversight.
Risk Management Framework
A five-point structured model for capital preservation and downside protection
