Mr. Iyer, a Mumbai businessman, wants to invest in an AIF that is closed-ended with a minimum tenure fixed at the time of launch. What is the minimum tenure required for a Category I and Category II AIF?

The minimum tenure for Category I and Category II AIFs is three years, since these must be close-ended. Category III funds may be open-ended, so the three-year minimum tenure applies specifically to the first two categories.

  1. A1 year
  2. B3 yearsCorrect
  3. C5 years
  4. D7 years

Explanation

Category I and Category II AIFs must be close-ended with a minimum tenure of three years. Category III AIFs can be open-ended or close-ended. Hence 3 years is correct; 1 year is too short for these categories.
