SEBI’s whole time member Ananth Narayan G announced that the issue of alternative investment funds (AIFs) circumventing regulations has been resolved after discussions between the regulator and the industry. He emphasized the need for trust among stakeholders to support capital formation. SEBI is working to build investor trust through AIFs, which have attracted significant domestic investments, exceeding Rs 13 lakh crore. Narayan noted that interactions with the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association have helped avoid regulatory errors related to market manipulation and fraud, while maintaining a light regulatory touch to facilitate risk-taking investments.
