IFSCA on March 01, 2023 has issued Clarifications in relation to Family Investment Funds. A FIF shall not seek money from individuals or entities outside of the single family. However, a FIF may share economic interest with its employees, directors, FME or other persons providing services to the FIF, as per its internal policy to reward the persons providing services to the FIF or to align the interest of such persons with those of the FIF. In this regard, wherever required, the FIF may accept contributions from the aforementioned persons for the limited purpose of granting economic interest to them, which in no case shall exceed an aggregate of twenty percent (20%) of FIF’s profits.
A FIF may set-up additional investment vehicles subject to prior approval of the Authority and payment of fee as applicable to a FIF. Such additional vehicles, in the form of companies, limited liability partnerships, trusts or any other form as may be specified by the Authority, shall also be considered as part of the FIF for the purpose of meeting the requirements specified in the Regulations.
