Sponsor
What is Sponsor in an Indian AIF?
The sponsor is the person or entity that sets up an AIF, and is required to maintain a continuing interest in the fund so that its incentives align with investors’. SEBI’s public register records the fund, not its sponsor, so sponsor relationships must be established from other sources.
