SEBI Launches Project Jagruk, Warns Investors Against Finfluencers and Unrealistic Returns
SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey launched Project Jagruk to enhance financial literacy and urged investors to avoid relying on finfluencers, anonymous tips, or exaggerated return claims. He emphasized investing only in understood products, starting early, diversifying portfolios, and staying invested long term. A SEBI survey revealed a gap between awareness and participation in securities markets, with 63% aware but only 9.5% participating, and highlighted an urban-rural divide. The regulator also introduced initiatives like MUST to promote education among students.
