SEBI Highlights Ethical Distribution and Proposes Unified Advertising Code Amid Mutual Fund Growth
India's mutual fund industry has grown significantly, with assets rising from Rs 10 lakh crore in 2014 to around Rs 85 lakh crore, supported largely by a growing distributor network. SEBI emphasizes ethical distribution, investor trust, and the role of distributors amid technological changes like AI. Challenges remain in maintaining investor engagement post-investment and ensuring clear, fair communication. SEBI's proposed Common Advertisement Code aims to unify advertising rules across financial intermediaries, addressing modern digital platforms to protect investors from misleading practices.
