Legal Framework of Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund in Nepal at Rajiya Law Associates
Private Equity and Venture Capital Regulatory Structures in Nepal
The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) regulates the Specialized Investment Fund Regulations, which govern the establishment, operation, and licensing of Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) funds.
1. Licensing of Fund Managers
Entities seeking to act as fund managers must secure corporate licensing from SEBON, demonstrating capital adequacy, professional experience, and structural governance.
2. Fund Registration
Once the fund manager is licensed, each specific fund pool must be registered separately at SEBON. Funds can raise capital from qualified institutional and high-net-worth investors.
3. Investment Limits and Portfolio Rules
PE/VC funds must align with investment ceilings, portfolio diversification rules, and disclosure standards defined by SEBON.
