Sebi proposes to enhance role, accountability of mutual fund trustees

Amidst growing scale of the mutual fund industry, capital markets regulator Sebi has proposed to increase the role and accountability of the trustees in a bid to safeguard unitholders' interest. In addition, the regulator has suggested to enhance the accountability of board of asset management company (AMC). Also, Sebi has proposed a common platform for dissemination of public announcements by mutual funds. In order to have an independent review mechanism for the decisions of AMC from the perspective of the unitholders' interest across all products and services, Sebi has proposed to mandate that a "Unit Holder Protection Committee (UHPC) should be constituted by board of AMC". In its consultation paper, Sebi has suggested that trustees of mutual funds should focus on market abuse by AMC, its employees and mis-selling by the AMC to increase the asset base. Also, trustees should be responsible for fairness of fees and expenses charged by the AMC, compare its performance with peers a

Investment in capital mkts via P-notes drops to Rs 96,292 cr in Dec: Sebi

Investment in the Indian capital markets through participatory notes slightly dropped to Rs 96,292 crore at the end of December 2022 from the preceding month on higher valuation of domestic markets. Before the decline, the investment through the route had been on an increasing trend since July because of a slump in prices of oil and other commodities and relative outperformance of Indian equity markets. Participatory notes (P-notes) are issued by registered Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to overseas investors who wish to be part of the Indian stock market without registering themselves directly. They, however, need to go through a due diligence process. According to Sebi data, the value of P-note investments in Indian markets --- equity, debt, and hybrid securities -- stood at Rs 96,292 crore at December-end, as compared to Rs 99,315 crore at the end of November. The investment level through the route was at Rs 97,784 crore at October-end, Rs 88,813 crore at September-end, Rs .

The regulator has restrained PNP Shareon Solutions, its proprietor Pradeep Haldar, PNP Solutions and its proprietor Prakash Haldar from securities markets for six months.

Sebi brings in net settlement of cash, F&O segment upon expiry of stock

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday introduced the mechanism of net settlement of cash and Futures & Options (F&O) segment upon expiry of stock derivatives. The move is aimed at providing better alignment of cash and derivatives segment, mitigation of price risk in certain cases and netting efficiencies for market participants, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a circular. Under the mechanism, the obligations arising out of cash segment settlement and physical settlement of F&O segments, upon expiry of stock derivatives, would be settled on a net basis as against the current approach of settling such obligations separately. The benefit of netting (merged settlements) would be available to investors who trade and clear through the same TM-CM (trading member-clearing member) combination in cash and F&O segment. However, investors whose TM clears trades through different CM/Clearing Corporation (CC) will not be able to avail the benefit of .
