The Hindu
In a notification, the SEBI said, “Co-investment by investors of alternative investment fund shall be through a co-investment portfolio manager.”
Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has amended the regulatory regime governing alternative investment funds (AIFs), to facilitate co-investment through the portfolio management route.
Co-investment means investment made by a manager or sponsor or investor of Category-I and -II AIFs in investee companies where such category of AIFs makes investment.
In a notification on Tuesday, the SEBI said, “Co-investment by investors of alternative investment fund shall be through a co-investment portfolio manager.” The regulator said the terms of co-investment in an investee company by a manager or sponsor or co-investor, will not be more favourable than the terms of investment of the AIF.

The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
