Sebon permits Global Equity Fund to operate venture capital business

KATHMANDU, August 6: The Securities Board of Nepal (Sebon) has permitted Global Equity Fund (GEF) to operate venture capital business after the firm fulfilled all the criteria set by the law.

According to the Sebon, GEF was one of the nine applicants that were approved to run the venture capital fund. While GEF received operating license after it constructed the related infrastructures, eight other firms are in process to fulfill the mandatory provisions.
