The Problem

Why Existing Approaches Fall Short

Manual processes, fragmented tools, and legacy systems create compounding inefficiencies that limit speed, accuracy, and risk visibility.

AIF Accounting is Complex and Multi-Layered

AIFs combine fund-level accounting, investment-level tracking, and investor-level capital account management — requiring simultaneous maintenance of multiple interdependent ledgers.

Capital Calls and Distributions Are Error-Prone

Managing capital calls, unfunded commitments, waterfall distribution calculations, and carried interest across multiple investors with different entry dates is extremely complex manually.

SEBI AIF Compliance is Increasingly Demanding

SEBI AIF reporting requirements — investor disclosures, quarterly statements, annual filings — require structured data that is difficult to produce from scattered spreadsheets.

Investor Reporting Lacks Professionalism

AIF investors expect institutional-grade quarterly reports with portfolio company performance, NAV statements, and distributions — difficult to produce consistently without purpose-built software.

AIF Operations Pain Points

Manual capital account maintenance across investor spreadsheets

Waterfall distribution calculations done manually each quarter

SEBI compliance reports generated with significant manual effort

No systematic tracking of unfunded commitments

Portfolio company valuation updates inconsistent and delayed

Investor reporting inconsistent across AIF vintages

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does GENESIS support all SEBI AIF categories?

Yes. GENESIS supports Category I AIFs (venture capital, SME funds, social venture funds), Category II AIFs (private equity, debt funds, fund of funds), and Category III AIFs (hedge funds, long-only funds). Compliance configurations, reporting formats, and operational workflows are tailored to each AIF category's specific regulatory requirements.

How does GENESIS handle the AIF distribution waterfall?

GENESIS's waterfall engine is configurable for each fund's specific distribution terms — return of capital, preferred return (hurdle rate), GP catch-up, and carried interest split. The engine applies the waterfall at each distribution event across all investors, accounting for individual entry dates, commitment sizes, and interim distributions already received.

Can GENESIS manage multiple AIF vintage funds simultaneously?

Yes. GENESIS supports multi-fund management where a single GP operates multiple vintage funds. Each fund has its own capital account register, investment portfolio, carry account, and investor set. Cross-fund reporting and GP-level consolidated views are available for oversight.

How does GENESIS handle AIF valuations for unlisted investments?

GENESIS supports multiple valuation methodologies for unlisted investments — DCF, EV/EBITDA comparables, cost approach, and replacement cost. The platform manages valuation committee approval workflows, tracks methodology changes, and maintains the valuation history required for SEBI disclosures.

What SEBI reporting does GENESIS automate for AIFs?

GENESIS automates SEBI-mandated AIF reporting including: quarterly investor disclosures (Form A), annual financial statements, Large Value Fund (LVF) compliance reports, investment committee materials, SEBI inspection readiness reports, and any additional reporting required under periodic SEBI AIF circular updates.

How does GENESIS handle co-investments alongside the main AIF?

GENESIS supports co-investment vehicles as sub-structures within the AIF framework — with separate capital accounts for co-investors, pro-rata or specific allocation tracking, independent reporting, and correct treatment in the main fund's allocation calculations.
