SEBI proposed common methodology for AIF portfolio valuation

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed a standardised approach to the valuation of alternative investment fund investment portfolios (AIFs).

In a consultation paper published on January 6, the markets watchdog advocated for such a methodology to provide investors with ease of use and to ensure fair disclosure of investment value. The public can provide feedback on the discussion paper until January 23, 2023. According to SEBI data, fund managers for AIFs raised a whopping INR 6.41 Lakh Crore across all categories through the end of June 2022.
