Will SEBI advisory impact investing strategy of smallcap funds?

The Indian Mutual Funds industry is working towards meeting stress test results by March 15, as instructed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The stress test looks into liquidity and volatility in small-cap and mid-cap funds, as well as their benchmark performance. However, there are concerns that this increased scrutiny may limit investment opportunities in small-cap funds. Fund managers believe SEBI's advisory will improve transparency and confidence in the industry, but investors are advised to be cautious due to high valuations in certain pockets.

RBI, SEBI mull exemptions for recent AIF investment rules

India's Reserve Bank and market regulator, SEBI, are reportedly considering exemptions to recently tightened rules on bank investments in alternative investment funds (AIFs) due to unintended consequences. Last month, the RBI ruled that banks and non-bank lenders cannot invest in AIFs with holdings in the banks' current or recent borrowers. However, the industry claims these rules could hinder growth and impact around $8-10bn of investments. The regulators are said to be considering exemptions for funds investing in distressed assets and banks have requested more time or staggered provisions to exit such investments.
