How Passage of the JOBS Act Impacts Regulation D: Private Placement and Gene...ManagedFunds
The recently enacted Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act contained a provision directing the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend Regulation D to remove the ban on general solicitation and advertising of private offerings. This change will allow alternative investment managers and others conducting private offerings to have increased legal certainty when communicating with investors and the general public, which will enable these managers to share more information and promote greater understanding of the industry. Amending Regulation D will not change the type of investor – institutions and high net-worth individuals – able to buy into a private offering, but it will lead to more transparency in the alternative investment industry.

One of our Singapore-based impact investing fund client had asked us to conduct a detailed study within the Indian NBFC market to identify growth segments based on their investment criteria. They were looking for tech-oriented companies with an investment ticket size of less than $1 million. This full report is a 300 pager document providing a detailed overview of the Indian NBFC industry.
We first provided a broad overview of the Indian NBFC market and identified 12 service segments such as SME, education, healthcare, auto, housing, infra finance, construction equipment finance, loan against property (LAP), affordable housing, microfinance, gold, and wholesale finance. Of these identified segments, we carried out a detailed study on the following 9 segments our client was broadly interested into: SME, auto, healthcare, education, housing, affordable housing, construction equipment finance, infra finance, and LAP.
Then, we compared and evaluated all these segments based on a strict investment parameter framework to come up with a more fact-based (rather than intuitive) investment rationale and go-to-market strategies. We later presented our sector insights, value creation game plan, and actionable targets for each of the attractive segments, along with a directory of industry experts and influencers so that our client had the primary first-hand resource to assess the investment opportunities within the identified attractive service segments.
While the entire report is exclusive for the said client, we have provided our piecemeal analysis of the two least interested sectors (from the client perspective) i.e. infrastructure financing and construction equipment finance in order to showcase our research and analytical skill-sets and capabilities.
With resolution of Central Government for reforms, transparency and governance in Corporate Sector, sentiments in the Capital Market has turned positive. Companies Act 2013 has also helped in reinstating the confidence of small shareholders in Capital Market.
As the capital market has grown global, it has generated ample need and huge opportunities for pools of ready money for investments in specific sectors. In such a scenario, several new Investor and Market friendly laws like AIF/ REITs and InvIT have been introduced. SEBI has also recently simplified some norms of AIFs. These type of funds will help in rapid development and growth of various sector of the country.
This presentation highlights a number of the most important policy issues on which MFA remains focused. Issues covered in this document include, among others:
• Promoting non-discriminatory tax policy.
• Taxation of partnerships
• CFTC reauthorization
• Regulating systemic risk
• Protecting investors
• Promoting the stability of markets through central clearing of derivatives
• Capital formation and the JOBS Act implementation

IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts: update on key issuesEY
This slide deck was designed to accompany a video webcast that included an interactive discussion by a moderator and three panelists, held on 9 July 2014.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is currently working on modifications to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts after the Exposure Draft (ED) received extensive comments from those that prepared the modifications and industry practitioners.
In recent deliberations following the receipt of comments, the IASB has reached tentative decisions about recognising the contractual service margin in profit or loss. Further tentative decisions have been reached concerning fixed-fee service contracts, significant insurance risk, portfolio transfers and business combinations.
This webcast discussed the background to the ED and the current project status. Our panel reviewed the insurance industry’s responses to IFRS 4, and outlined the IASB’s path towards finalising the project, focussing on key issues, challenges and operational impacts, and on what the IASB expects from the insurance industry.

The goal of the demonetization move in India is to make the economy stronger and eliminate the parallel cash economy which is unaccounted and untaxed. While this can impact the GDP negatively in the short term, it should have positive long term consequences. For e-commerce companies, which already have a digital payments system in place, it should lead to higher online payment and eventually eliminate the painful cash on delivery option. However, in the short term, witness a decline in GMV from India as the economy adjusts to the “new normal”.
Msme funding – Opportunities & Challenges (Part 5)Resurgent India
In India, the preferred mode of finance is either self or other sources. This further complicates the situation, as with these sources an enterprise cannot challenge the increasing competition
Funding Sme – MSME FINANCE – DEMAND & SUPPLY - Part - 9Resurgent India
The present domestic market conditions do not provide enough opportunities for the MSME sector for raising low cost funds. To improve the flow of credit there is a need to provide low cost finance to the MSME sector, which has limited working capital and is dependent exclusively on finance from public sector banks. The cost of credit in the Indian MSME sector is higher than its international peers. A transparent credit rating system, simplification/reduction in documentation for accessing finance, providing interest rate subvention to the MSME sector must be taken into consideration in order to maintain the growth of the MSME sector.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Mezzanine Financing - Part - 8Resurgent India
Business owners need finance in order to invest but they want to retain control of their business and not give up valuable equity. For MSMEs the financing options are limited and private equity investors are usually interested in larger companies, while business angel investors are more active in start-ups. Furthermore, conventional bank lending is often not available for projects that could be classified as speculative. That’s where mezzanine finance comes in. Mezzanine finance is a fairly well-known type of funding, which sits between traditional bank debt and equity and it is exactly what many MSMEs need.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Alternative financing sources ...Resurgent India
Securitization of Trade Credit: Trade credit is an important source of financing for MSMEs, as they sell on credit to their large customers and then wait for long periods for payment. If these receivables (trade credit) could be packaged as a securitized asset, which would essentially be a commercial paper with the credit rating of the large firm, it could help MSMEs reduce their investment in working capital and their need for finance significantly. The credit worthiness of a typical MSME would also improve, qualifying it for greater bank funding. Though the securitization process which is similar to factoring, could be more cost-effective than bank funding, factoring, and letters of credit.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - MSME FUNDING - NEED FOR ALTERN...Resurgent India
Finance is the lifeline of any enterprise. India has one of most extensive banking networks in the world. Despite, a considerable expansion of the banking infrastructure during the recent years, the provision of finance to grassroot level businesses, scattered across the nation, still remains an enormous challenge. Going ahead, it is also observed that Indian MSMEs have limited access to finance. Majority of the MSMEs operates on the funds of its promoters, thus limiting its growth. The limited or nonavailability of institutional finance at affordable terms is also hindering innovation in the Indian MSMEs.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - MSMEs CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMY ...Resurgent India
Economy, with more than 31 million units employing more than 80 million persons. Further, productivity of the MSME sector has been improving significantly with fixed investments and employment growing consistently over the past few years. This is a direct indication of the efforts focused on this sector to integrate the workforce with technological enhancements to increase production. Fixed investments in the MSME sector between FY07 and FY12 has grown at a CAGR of 6.5 per cent and employment has grown by more than 6 per cent (y-o-y). Further, between FY07 and FY12, the sector’s total gross output grew at a CAGR of 6.3 per cent - reiterating the substantial contribution of the MSMEs to the Indian economy.
MSME Financing - Alternative Financing Instruments - Part - 14Resurgent India
Asset-based finance, which includes asset-based lending, factoring, purchase-order finance, warehouse receipts and leasing, differs from traditional debt finance, as a firm obtains funding based on the value of specific assets, rather than on its own credit standing. Working capital and term loans are thus secured by assets such as trade accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment and real estate.

GOI and regulators have initiated several measures to address the low level of MSME financing through the capital markets. In March 2012, post issuance of SEBI guidelines, both BSE and NSE have set up institutional trading platforms in the SME segment to allow MSMEs to list and raise equity capital through venture funds, private equity and wealthy individuals, without initial public offerings.

Finance is life blood of any enterprise. But Indian MSMEs have always suffered the deficiency of this life blood, despite India having one of the most extensive banking networks in the world.
The present domestic market conditions do not provide enough opportunities for the MSME sector for raising low cost funds. To improve the flow of credit there is a need to provide low cost finance to the MSME sector, which has limited working capital and is dependent exclusively on finance from public sector banks.

Approaching a credit rating agency is a good option for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the problems they face in seeking finance.

One of the thrust areas for increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs includes skills development. Skills development not only helps in improving productivity but also fosters entrepreneurship. Hence, it is imperative for the concerned governmental agencies, trade associations and MSMEs to come together and discuss on how to make training programmers relevant and attractive for MSMEs. The lack of human resources has been a long-standing problem faced by MSMEs in the country. Despite India’s large pool of human resources, the MSMEs continue to lack skilled manpower required for manufacturing, marketing, servicing, etc.

2. Policy Initiatives
Corporate Bonds market in India is at a growing stage and measures are being
taken by the regulatory bodies to boost the growth of Corporate Bonds market
in India by making necessary amendment in the rules and regulations. During
FY15, there were 17,710 trades with a value of INR 2,04,506 crore reported on
BSE as compared to 58,073 trades with a trading value of INR 8,86,788 crore
reported in NSE.
3. Corporate Bond Market
The importance of DR’s lies in the fact, that, they enable the Indian companies to
tap capital from overseas locations that have been otherwise difficult to access in
the past.
However, it has been witnessed in the past, that investment through the DR route
has not able to garner significant investor interest, primarily on account of
investor preference for investments in the home country and local currency. As a
result, over the last decade, the DR investment route has failed to secure the
expected traction, thus requiring significant revisions to India’s existing DR
scheme.
Government and Corporate Bonds as % of GDP March 2013
4. Policy Initiatives
Some of the recent initiatives by Government, RBI, SEBI and other agencies
with the intent of developing the corporate debt market are as follows:
•Pooling account: Clearing houses of the stock exchanges have been
permitted to have a pooling fund account with RBI.
•Trade reporting platform: Towards improving transparency, reporting
platforms for OTC trades in corporate bonds amongst others has been set up.
5. Policy Initiatives
•Repo in corporate bond: Since 2010, guidelines in terms of reduction of
minimum haircut requirements and expanding the list of eligible collaterals
have been relaxed.
•Credit Default Swaps (CDS) on corporate bonds: CDS on corporate bonds has
been permitted to facilitate hedging of credit risk associated with holding
corporate bonds. Based on market feedback, short term instruments like CP,
CD & NCDs and unlisted but rated corporate bonds have also been permitted
as eligible reference obligations.
6. Policy Initiatives
•Encouraging participation of banks and PDs in corporate bonds: Key
initiatives under this include:
a) Banks permitted to issue long-term bonds with a minimum maturity of
seven years to raise resources for lending to pre-specified sectors.
b) Banks to consider raising Tier II capital through public issuance to retail
investors
c) Investment norms have been relaxed to allow for investing in funds
borrowed from call money market subject to certain limits
d) Banks and standalone PDs have been allowed to become direct members
of stock exchanges for undertaking proprietary trades in corporate bonds
e) It is proposed to permit banks to offer partial credit enhancement to
corporate bonds by way of providing funded and un-funded credit
facilities for infrastructure projects but not by way of guarantee.
8. Policy Initiatives
•Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs): Rationalization of investment limits: FPI
investment limits have been rationalized and subdivisions have been merged
in two broad categories - government securities and corporate bonds. In case
of corporate bonds, the ceiling of $1 billion for qualified foreign investors
(QFIs), $25 billion for FPIs and $25 billion for FPIs in long-term infra bonds,
have been merged - retaining the overall cap for corporate bonds at $51
billion.
9. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs)
•Market Infrastructure - Infrastructure facilities such as screen based
automated order matching, central clearing and settlement, negotiated
dealing system, etc. on the lines available to the government securities
market would certainly facilitate and encourage secondary market trading,
enhance market transparency and liquidity as well as develop scientific risk
pricing.
10. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs)
•Rationalization of allocation of debt limits: FIIs can now invest in Corporate
Debt without purchasing debt limits till the overall investment reaches 90%
after which the auction mechanism would be initiated for allocation of the
remaining limits.
•Withholding tax rate: The rate of withholding tax on interest payments on
the borrowings of Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDF), investments by a non-
