The Financial Services Regulatory Authority issued this guidance to define eligibility and ongoing regulatory requirements for Fund Managers of Private Credit Funds. It mandates specific investment restrictions, including prohibitions on lending to natural persons, and requires a clear diversification policy to mitigate concentration risk.
