An investor holds 30% of equity AND is also the asset manager of an investment vehicle. The asset manager directs the portfolio until defaulted assets reach a specified threshold of portfolio value; thereafter, a third-party trustee acts on the DEBT investor's instructions. Under Ind AS 110, the relevant activities/power split is:

AAsset manager has power BEFORE the default threshold (managing portfolio); debt investor has power AFTER the threshold (directing the trustee) — each must assess if it directs the activities that MOST significantly affect returns at the relevant point
BNeither party controls — the trustee is a neutral third party
CAsset manager controls throughout because of its 30% equity stake
DDebt investor controls throughout because debt ranks senior to equity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Asset manager has power BEFORE the default threshold (managing portfolio); debt investor has power AFTER the threshold (directing the trustee) — each must assess if it directs the activities that MOST significantly affect returns at the relevant point
Para B53 — when different parties direct relevant activities at different times, each evaluates whether the activities IT directs are those that most significantly affect returns. Until defaults exceed the threshold, the asset manager directs the relevant activities (and may control). Beyond the threshold, the debt investor effectively controls via the trustee. Control might shift over time as the trigger crosses, requiring reassessment.
