If your annual investable surplus is over โน10 lakhs, it may be worth understanding whether you qualify as a SEBI-accredited investor.
Accredited Investor status is designed for financially sophisticated individuals and entities who meet SEBI's prescribed eligibility criteria, including thresholds for income, net worth and financial assets.
Why does it matter?
โข Access to investment opportunities that aren't generally available to retail investors, including certain Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and private market offerings.
โข Lower minimum investment requirements for select PMS and AIF products.
โข Greater flexibility in areas such as reporting, investment terms and lock-in structures, depending on the investment.
Formal accreditation can only be obtained through a SEBI-recognised Accreditation Agency such as CDSL Ventures Limited (CVL).
To help investors understand where they stand before initiating the formal process, we've built a simple self-assessment tool based on SEBI's published eligibility guidelines. It provides a quick indication of whether you may qualify as an accredited investor.
It's a small step towards making a specialised area of investing a little easier to navigate.
