Book Free Consultation

Registering an Alternative Investment Fund involves a detailed application to SEBI covering the sponsor, manager, investment strategy and governance of the proposed fund, and the quality of that application affects how smoothly the registration proceeds.

N D Savla & Associates supports sponsors in Nashik and across Maharashtra through the AIF registration process, preparing the application and supporting documentation before it is filed with the regulator.

We work closely with the sponsor's legal counsel to ensure the financial and structural information in the application is consistent with the fund documents being filed alongside it.
