Bankers shouldn't get bad companies to markets who misuse IPO money: Buch

Sebi Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch on Tuesday said the capital markets regulator has found "egregious misuse" of funds raised through initial public offerings (IPOs) by certain companies and urged investment bankers to desist from helping such entities access the capital markets. Even before the term "agentic artificial intelligence" was coined, Sebi had been working on a tool based on that concept to process IPO documents faster, Buch said. Speaking at an event organised by Association of Investment Bankers' of India (AIBI), Buch said the i-bankers know exactly when they are bringing a "pump and dump" company to the market. "You (i-bankers) should not bring a bad company to the market," she urged the audience comprising rainmakers. There are markers like the high fees being paid to the banker, or the company having less or no staff at all or no visits by the bankers to the facilities of a company which speak loudly about the intent behind an issuance and it being a "pump and dump"

Sebi to start pre-listing trading in IPO to curb grey market activity: Buch

Sebi is looking at introducing a system where an investor can sell shares as soon as they are allotted in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) to curb grey market activity, chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch said on Tuesday. The chief of the capital markets regulator also announced that the top two proxy advisory firms are on the verge of launching a portal which will be a repository of related party transactions and will be useful in judging the governance standards in a company for any stakeholder. It can be noted that many IPOs in the recent past have seen very high subscriptions, and many of the issuances have also made huge listing-day gains which result in the grey market activity of passing on allotted shares. Buch, an i-banker turned markets regulator, reminisced that during her banking days, this grey market activity used to be called "curb trading". "We feel that if anyway investors want to do that, why not give them that opportunity in a proper regulated way?" Buch said, addressi

Market regulator Sebi asks MFs to disclose information ratio of schemes

To bring more transparency in disclosures made by AMCs and aid better decision-making by investors, Sebi on Friday directed mutual funds to disclose the information ratio (IR) of a scheme along with performance disclosure. Further, disclosure of IR, a financial metric to measure the Risk-adjusted Return (RAR) of a scheme portfolio, will be applicable only for equity-oriented schemes. "Considering the significance of volatility of performance in determining the suitability of MF schemes, the information ratio is an established financial ratio to measure the RAR of any scheme portfolio. "It is often used as a measure of a portfolio manager's level of skill and ability to generate excess returns, relative to a benchmark and also attempts to identify the consistency of the performance by incorporating standard deviation/risk factor into the calculation," Sebi said. In a circular, Sebi has asked mutual funds to disclose the information ratio of a scheme portfolio on their website, along
