In a move to bring in standardised practices in the mutual fund industry, especially in the debt market segment, Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Tuesday asked mutual funds to value all money market and debt securities with residual maturity of up to 91 days at the weighted average price at which they are traded on the particular valuation day.
CBI has arrested an Assistant General Manager of market regulator SEBI for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 25 lakh. Official sources said R P Singh, an AGM of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)in Kolkata, was arrested by CBI’s anti-corruption wing on Sunday evening.
The market regulator SEBI on Monday asked mutual fund companies to make all the disclosures about market risks involved in the products more prominent in their communication. “To make these statements more prominent, it is advised that the disclosures as stated in the clauses 10, 13 and 14 of schedule VI of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations of 1996 on Advertisement Code shall be printed in bold,” the regulator said in a circular here today.
Mutual fund distributors are set to approach the capital market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), seeking a central bureau of registry for all ‘know your client’ (KYC) documentation. The distributors will also lobby for an electronic or digital KYC till a comprehensive system is put in place. They maintain that this would bring down the volume of paper in the system that would otherwise be generated if the distributors were to send a copy of all supporting documents to AMCs with retrospective effect.
Eighteen months after introducing India’s volatility index, or VIX, market regulator Sebi has begun its groundwork to introduce derivatives contracts, with the index as the underlying. VIX is a measure of traders’ near-term expectations of implied volatility, or IV, based on the 50 stock options prices on the Nifty index. The regulator is believed to be talking to market participants about the possibility of introducing futures and options that traders can use to bet on the direction of the VIX.
It has now been decided to permit eligible Stock Exchanges to introduce currency futures on Euro-INR, Pound Sterling-INR and Japanese Yen-INR. The details in terms of product design, margins and position limits for the three additional currency pairs are as given under Annexure I, II and III respectively.
It is essential for the investors to be aware that the investments made in mutual funds are subjects to risk and that the scheme related documents should be read before investing. Hence it was mandated that statements appearing in Clauses 10, 13 and 14 of Schedule VI of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 on Advertisement Code should appear in all advertisements. However, it is noted that the advertisements issued are generally lengthy and hence these disclosures are not bought to the attention of the investors.
Repos in corporate debt securities will be for a minimum period of one day and a maximum period of one year, the RBI said in a release adding that only listed corporate debt securities which are rated AA or above by the rating agencies can be used for repo.

The tribunal has set a wrong precedent by arrogating to itself the power vested in it, said Sebi. The tribunal had directed the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to grant in-principle approval to the issue, allotment and listing of shares issued by a market participant to its promoters on a preferential basis. It was, however, rejected by BSE.
