It is furthermore provided that, in case of an internally managed AIF, the calculation of the minimum level of assets excludes the initial capital requirement under this Law.
(b) The Securities and Exchange Commission may, upon the submission of a written request by the external manager of the AIF or the AIF, in case it is internally managed, decide to extend the period of paragraph (a) up to another twelve months, if this is deemed necessary due to the specific circumstances of the case.
(2) The payments made by investors towards the AIF, shall be made in cash or assets that relate to the investment policy of the AIF, and which are free of liens.
