SEBI on Wednesday provided clarification regarding the regulations governing specialised investment funds.
While specifying the minimum investment threshold required from investors, the framework also governs the maturity of securities within these funds.
The SEBI circular stated, "The new rule specifies that the minimum investment by an investor in all SIF strategies should be at least Rs 10 lakh at the Permanent Account Number (PAN) level."

The markets' regulator said the rules regarding the maturity of securities in interval schemes will not apply to interval investment strategies under SIF.

Earlier, investments were allowed only in securities that mature before the start of the next transaction period. If the securities have put or call options, the time left to exercise the put option must end before the next transaction period begins.
The new provisions come into force immediately, it added.
In February, SEBI came out with the regulatory framework for specialised investment funds.
The SIF has been introduced to bridge the gap between mutual funds and PMS in terms of portfolio flexibility.
Under the framework, investors are required to invest at least Rs 10 lakh across all SIF strategies. This rule does not apply to accredited investors.
