Sebi extends portfolio rebalancing timelines to all passive breaches in MFs

Market regulator Sebi on Thursday said that timelines for portfolio rebalancing in mutual fund schemes will now be applicable to all types of passive breaches across actively managed schemes, which was earlier limited to only asset allocation. A passive breach refers to unintended deviations from the mandated asset allocation or regulatory limits that do not arise from the direct actions or omissions of asset management companies (AMCs). Passive breaches generally do not happen due to the omission and commission of Asset Management Companies (AMCs). The mandated rebalancing period for all mutual fund schemes, except Index Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), is 30 business days. Such breaches may be caused by corporate actions, significant price movements in underlying securities, maturity of instruments, or large-scale investor redemptions. The clarification came in the wake of a recommendation made by the Mutual Funds Advisory Committee (MFAC) and is aimed at ensuring consiste

Sebi clarifies regulatory framework for Specialized Investment Funds

Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday clarified the regulatory framework for Specialized Investment Funds (SIF) regarding minimum investment threshold. In its circular, Sebi said, "The new rule specifies that the minimum investment by an investor in all SIF strategies should be at least Rs 10 lakh at the Permanent Account Number (PAN) level." However, this rule does not apply to mandatory investments made by asset management companies (AMCs) for designated employees. Additionally, Sebi said the rules regarding the maturity of securities in interval schemes will not apply to interval investment strategies under SIF. Before this, investments were allowed only in securities that mature before the start of the next transaction period. If the securities have put or call options, the time left to exercise the put option must end before the next transaction period begins. The new provisions come into force immediately, it added. In February, Sebi came out with the regulatory framework for
