On September 10, 2024, various amendments to the Competition Act, 2002 came into effect. Two of these amendments have a significant impact on Alternative Investment Funds registered with SEBI. Prior to the recent amendments, any acquisition by a venture capital fund was exempt from the provisions of the Section 6 of the Competition Act. Now, this exemption has been expanded to cover all sub-categories of Category I AIFs. However, it should be noted that Category II and Category III AIFs still do not benefit from this exemption. The new amendments have widened the definition of control and henceforth, ‘control’ means the ability to exercise material influence, in any manner whatsoever, over the management or affairs or strategic commercial decisions. ‘Control’ has always been a nebulous concept under the Competition Act, 2002 and the new definition of ‘control’ means that henceforth it is much more likely that AIFs will be deemed to have control over their investee companies. Our note delves in the two aforementioned amendments in greater detail.

The market regulator’s enhanced due diligence requirements for alternative investment funds (AIFs) have left industry stakeholders divided. While some see the tighter measures as necessary for investor protection and market integrity, others caution additional compliance burden could discourage large investors seeking flexible structures. Our Partner Vivaik Sharma shares his views on this in an article published by LiveMint. Read it at: https://lnkd.in/dbub_jVx #SEBI #AlternativeInvestmentFunds #AIF #RBIRegulations

Distributed to Paid In (DPI) is one of the most important metrics when evaluating the performance of your private equity investments. It’s a ratio metric that reflects the realized return on your private equity investment by comparing the fund’s capital distributions to you with your capital contributions to the fund. It simply indicates how many times you’ve received your investment back in realized return at a given point in time. After your initial contribution to a private equity fund, DPI will be 0 since you have invested but not yet received any distributions from the fund. A DPI of 1 means you’ve received exactly as much as you contributed. A DPI higher than 1 means you’ve received more than you contributed, indicating a profit on your investment. Conversely, if it’s lower than 1, it means that, so far, you don’t have a positive realized return on your investment. In other words, a DPI of, for example, 1.17 means your private equity investment has yielded a realized return of 17%. When the fund closes, you’ll want a DPI above 1, indicating that you’ve received more money than you’ve contributed, thus making a profit on your investment. Want to know more about DPI? In the knowledge hub on our website, you’ll find in-depth articles on DPI as well as other private equity metrics. 📚 #dpi #distributedtopaidin #privateequity #aletaknowledgehub
