Sebi reduces timelines for redemption amount, dividend payout to 7 days

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Friday cut the timelines for the payout of redemption amount and dividend to unitholders by Asset Management Companies (AMCs). In a circular, Sebi has reduced the timeline for dividends payout to seven working days from the current 15 days. It said that the record date would be two working days from the issue of public notice, wherever applicable, for the purpose of payment of dividend.

Sebi notifies rules on dividend, redemption proceeds to MF unitholders

Capital markets regulator Sebi has notified new rules for asset management companies (AMCs) pertaining to transfer of dividend and redemption proceeds to mutual fund unitholders. Under this, every mutual fund and asset management company would be required to transfer to the unitholders the dividend payments and the redemption or repurchase proceeds within a period specified by Sebi, the regulator said in a notification made public on Thursday.

Sebi comes out with disclosure requirement for asset management companies

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Thursday came out with the disclosure framework for asset management companies, mandating a scheme-wise disclosure of investments in securities of entities that are excluded from the definition of "associate". This came after Sebi, earlier this month, amended mutual fund rules to remove the applicability of the definition of "associate" to sponsors that invest in various companies on behalf of the beneficiaries of insurance policies or such other schemes. Under the rules, associate includes a person who directly or indirectly, by himself, or in combination with relatives, exercises control over the AMC or the trustee, among others. As part of the new framework, asset management companies (AMCs) will have to make scheme-wise disclosure of investments, as on the last day of each quarter, in securities of such entities that are excluded from the definition of "associate", the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a circular.
