Sebi Issues Show Cause Notices to Six Capital Group FPIs Over Trade Information Leak

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has issued show cause notices to six foreign portfolio investors managed by US-based Capital Group, alleging breaches in confidentiality of trade-related information. The regulator's investigation, covering January 2021 to June 2023, found that non-public details of large trading orders were leaked, enabling a front-running network involving market operator Ketan Parekh and trader Rohit Salgaocar. Capital Group, managing over $3.3 trillion globally, has not commented, and Sebi has initiated legal proceedings against specific funds linked to the firm.
