Sebi proposes sweeping changes for fund managers, AMC overhaul

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed significant changes to regulations governing asset management companies (AMCs) to reshape India’s mutual fund landscape. The key proposal involves amending Regulation 24(b) of the Sebi (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, which currently limits AMCs to managing only broad-based pooled assets, typically mutual funds involving numerous retail investors. This move aims to expand the business scope of AMCs while ensuring robust investor protection against potential conflicts of interest.
