Know what changes SEBI made in debt funds after Franklin Templeton incident



SEBI has paid special attention to the matter since the closure of the 6 debt scheme of Franklin Mutual Fund AMC. It has made several changes in the last month regarding debt and equity funds. Debt mutual funds scheme has been losing investors for some time. For this major reason, SEBI had to do all this. Please tell that 6 schemes of Franklin Templeton have defaulted. Due to this, around 28 thousand crore rupees of his investors were stuck. However, money has been slowly coming back since then to the investor. In view of the interests of an investors, market regulator SEBI has made some changes in the rules of mutual funds business, to reduce the risk. Also, such incidents should be stopped in future.

 

SEBI told the mutual funds company that they will now give a new warning in the fund product. It is fundamentally related to risk. Now, in every mutual fund scheme's risk-o-meter, a very high-risk category is also included in this. All mutual funds scheme will now be required to show 6 signals in the risk-o-meter instead of 5. 5 Riskometer consists of Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. Now very high will also be added to risk-o-meter. This will be effective from January 1, 2021.

 

According to the new regulations of SEBI, it will now be necessary to invest 75% of the funds in equity. It was 65% so far. Now the structure of multi-cap funds will change. Fund houses will be required to invest 25-25% in midcap and smallcap. At the same time, 25 per cent will have to be applied in large caps. Earlier this, fund managers could invest as much as they wanted. This new rule will come into effect from January 2021.

 

SEBI has mandated liquid funds to hold at least 20% of its portfolio in liquid assets such as cash, treasury bills, government securities. In addition, the liquid funds will not be able to be used corporately to deposit their funds for short periods. In July this year, SEBI had told that debt mutual funds scheme would have to disclose their portfolio every 15 days instead of 30 days. Because only some select funds were disclosing their portfolio twice a month. This will help investors understand the risks.

 

SEBI has also told that the mutual fund company's CEO will be responsible for whether the code of conduct is being followed by fund managers and dealers. Fund managers and dealers will give the self-certification to the trustees on a quarterly basis that they have followed the code of conduct. The mutual funds manager should have a reasonable and adequate basis for the investment decision. He will be responsible for investing in the funds that he manages. In addition, the fund managers will keep written records with details about the purchase and sale of securities.

 

SEBI has also stated that fund managers or dealers will not be allowed to do any transaction on behalf of the fund with any such counterparty. This counterparty consists of associates of sponsor / AMC / fund manager / dealer / CEO. They cannot accept the offer of any greed in the case of managing the funds of the unitholders. The fund managers and the dealers must always speak clearly, transparently and correctly.

 

An inter-scheme transfer can be done only after a fund house tries to increase the liquidity and ends. These will include the use of cash and cash equivalent assets available in the mutual fund scheme and the sale of scheme assets in the markets. These circulars will come into effect from January 1, 2021.
