SEBI's strategy for hedge funds
Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) would like to introduce specific provisions to regulate hedge funds.
The SEBI report, awaiting public comments, says that at least 20 per cent of the fund corpus should be contributed by investors such as pension funds, university funds, charitable trusts or societies, endowments, banks and insurance companies.

The presence of institutional investors in the fund is expected to ensure better governance by fund managers and fund administrators. Institutional investors are also expected to help fund managers take a long-term perspective on the market they invest in. The report also recommends that the fund manager or investment advisor must have experience of at least three years in managing funds. This experience should include working with strategies as that of the applicant fund.
