Sodhani Capital Limited (SCL) has announced plans to diversify its business operations by venturing into the distribution of Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) and Portfolio Management Services (PMS). The company has issued a postal ballot notice seeking shareholder approval to alter its Memorandum of Association (MOA) to include these new business objectives.

Facilitate and support the distribution of AIF and PMS schemes through franchise models and digital platforms.
Operate in both India and International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs).
Enter into collaborations with mutual fund companies, portfolio managers, and other financial institutions.
Receive and share commissions, fees, and remuneration in compliance with regulatory guidelines.
Establish and manage platforms connecting investors with authorized distributors and agents.

The e-voting will be facilitated by the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).

Rationale for Expansion

SCL's board views this expansion as an opportunity to strengthen the company's presence in the financial intermediation and wealth management sectors. The move aligns with the evolving financial services landscape and aims to capitalize on the growing opportunities in AIFs and PMS.

Regulatory Compliance
