SEBI has, in its informal guidance to JM Financial Limited, stated that the objective of Regulation 15(1)(f) of SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012 (‘AIF Regulations’) is to further the interests of investors with respect to the un-invested portion of investable funds, till deployment of these funds in accordance with the investment objective of the AIF. Accordingly, applying the same rationale, SEBI has clarified that investment proceeds from sale/transfer of investments or returns earned from the investments can be invested in temporary investment instruments specified in Regulation 15(1)(f) of the AIF Regulations pending distribution of investment proceeds to the investors, provided that details of such transactions are disclosed to the investors and the diversification requirements under Regulation 15(1)(c) of the AIF Regulations would be applicable to such investments as well.
