The Sebi chief said global efforts are underway to restore stability, even as the ongoing tensions in parts of the world have created uncertainty in energy markets. "For many investors -- especially retail investors -- the best strategy during such a period of uncertainty is to remain patient," Pandey said, speaking at an event here. The chief of the Indian capital markets regulator acknowledged that "uncertainty" dominates the global economic landscape, and added that the same is triggered by technology changes with the adoption of artificial intelligence and geopolitical ...

As the number of retail investors surges, Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator is intensifying surveillance and technology-driven enforcement to curb rising pre-investment scams that divert funds before investors even interact with registered intermediaries. Pandey, whocompleted one year at the helm of the regulator on March 1, noted that many new and intending investors are being misled by fake trading apps, WhatsApp groups and promises of high returns, often diverting funds to personal accounts of fraudsters long before any engagement with Sebi-regulated intermediaries. He stressed that investor caution must evolve beyond mere awareness to informed action, especially given the country's expanding retail base.

Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Wednesday said that end of trade frictions through trade deals like the one with the US removes uncertainties, which will help accelerate capital formation. Replying to a question on whether the trade deal with the US will push foreign investors to get more money into the country, Pandey said such moves can "spur" investment decisions. "Fundamentally, when you have an overhang of a regulatory action which is removed, and trade frictions removed, so any capital formation is always accelerated," Pandey told reporters here. The removal of the uncertainties can spur investment decisions and get a greater predictability on capital, he added.
