Sebi Launches PRIM Framework to Expand Portfolio Managers' Mutual Fund Investments
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has introduced the Portfolio Managers Route for Investing in Mutual Fund units (PRIM), allowing portfolio managers to invest client funds starting at Rs 25 lakh in direct mutual fund plans, ETFs, index funds, and Specialised Investment Funds. This framework aims to broaden investor access and enhance portfolio customization while imposing fee caps and regulatory requirements. However, industry participants note challenges such as fee limits and a shortage of talent for managing diversified portfolios, including overseas investments.
