A portfolio manager must be registered with SEBI before offering the service. The application covers the entity, its capital and net worth, key personnel and the proposed service model.
What this usually involves
- Choosing and setting up the entity
- Eligibility and fit-and-proper criteria for the manager and key personnel
- Filing the application and responding to SEBI’s queries
How we help
We prepare and file the application and manage queries until registration.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up Registration with SEBI?
The timeline depends on the product, how ready your documents and information are, and the regulator’s review. We give a realistic estimate in the proposal and update it as the work progresses.
Do you guarantee regulatory approval?
No adviser can. Approval rests with the regulator. What we do is prepare your structure, documents and filings to the standard the process demands and manage the process closely.
Can we engage you for only one stage of the work?
Both are possible. Most clients engage us across structuring, documentation, regulatory execution and launch readiness, but you can engage us for a specific stage.
Do you support us after launch?
Yes. Our Launch Readiness workstream and post-incorporation support help you onboard investors and meet your ongoing obligations.
