SEBI Proposes Mutual Fund-Only PMS with Lower Investment Threshold
India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) has proposed a new mutual fund-only portfolio management services (MF-PMS) framework, lowering the minimum investment from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 25 lakh and reducing portfolio managers' net worth requirement from Rs 5 crore to Rs 2 crore. The framework allows investment in direct mutual fund plans, ETFs, and specialized funds, with optional dealing room and simplified certification. Experts suggest this could enhance the advisory model, boost registered investment advisers, and make professional portfolio management more accessible.
