Automatic-route FDI planning checks the proposed investment against sector conditions, investor facts and the reporting needed for the transaction.
Understanding Automatic-Route FDI Advisory
When to consider this service
Compliance officers, financial institutions and transaction teams reviewing customer risk, foreign investment or financial-crime controls can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “Does automatic-route FDI mean no compliance is required?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.
Scope of work
The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.
- Identify sector investor and instrument.
- Review entry-route and ownership conditions.
- Plan issue transfer and reporting records.
Documents and information to prepare
Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.
- Ownership charts.
- Business descriptions.
- Investment agreements.
- Investor details.
Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.
A key issue to resolve
Automatic route does not mean absence of conditions or reporting; applicable restrictions must still be examined.
How the engagement works
- Define the question: identify sector investor and instrument, using the available ownership charts and the facts you provide.
- Examine the evidence: review entry-route and ownership conditions. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
- Agree the action: plan issue transfer and reporting records. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.
Deliverables, fees and timing
The proposal for Automatic-Route FDI Advisory sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain.
