Critical Review of SEBI’s AIF Reform Approach
The recent reforms introduced by SEBI regarding Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) have garnered attention, particularly concerning the heavy reliance on investor accreditation. This approach presents several potential weaknesses, including significant gaps in disclosure, accountability, and systemic oversight.
