For AIF Managers

A new offshore capital channel. Your operations don't change.

You manage SEBI Category II performing credit. You have the track record, the origination, the portfolio. What you don't have — and shouldn't have to build — is the infrastructure to accept tokenised USD capital from global accredited investors through GIFT City. aarnâ IYP is that infrastructure.

How it works

Global Investor

USD

aarnâ FME

GIFT City · FPI

Your AIF

INR

aarnâ's GIFT City FME subscribes into your fund as a single FPI LP. One entity on your cap table. Standard SEBI FPI route. Your fund receives INR via AD1 bank — the same way any foreign portfolio investor subscribes today.

Your operations remain unchanged:

Same NAV reporting

Quarterly, to your existing auditor, on your existing schedule

Same compliance

SEBI Cat II regulations, your existing RTA, your existing custodian

Same portfolio management

Your CIO, your credit committee, your origination pipeline

Same LP servicing

aarnâ's FME is one LP. We handle our own investors.

What you get

New capital channel

Global accredited investors — NRIs, family offices, crypto-native allocators, wealth platform clients — accessing your fund through aarnâ's regulated tokenisation layer. Capital you would not reach through your existing domestic distribution.

USD-denominated LP

aarnâ's FME subscribes in USD (converted to INR via AD1 bank under FETERS). You receive INR. FX hedge is aarnâ's responsibility, not yours.

No operational burden

You do not issue tokens. You do not manage wallets. You do not interact with blockchain infrastructure. You do not change your compliance framework. aarnâ handles the entire tokenisation, distribution, and investor-servicing layer.

Pipeline participation

ICT is the first product. As aarnâ IYP scales — IBT (bonds), sovereign, index — your fund can be included in multiple product wrappers, expanding your offshore LP base without incremental effort.
