Optimise Fund architecture. Strengthen regulatory governance. Achieve tax-aligned performance.

The funds landscape in India has significantly evolved over the last few years with many High-Net-worth Individuals choosing to make investments in a more structured way by leveraging expertise of professionals through managed funds. India’s evolving financial ecosystem and regulatory reforms have also positioned it as a preferred destination for global capital. With the maturity of the Funds and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) regime in India, structuring and management of Funds (including AIFs) / FPIs requires nuanced understanding of regulatory, tax, and operational dynamics. We assist clients across the lifecycle of the fund right from the finalization of the jurisdiction for setup to registration and follow on tax and regulatory compliance. Our deep technical expertise, combined with practical experience across SEBI and IFSCA regimes, enables us to deliver tailored solutions that align investor objectives with the right regulatory and tax outcomes.
