SEBI proposes allowing mutual funds to balance buy and sell payments; what does it mean, and will it affect investors? Explained
SEBI has proposed that a mutual fund scheme can settle buy and sell payments on a net basis in the cash market. Today, each purchase and sale is paid separately. The proposal applies to each scheme individually. For ordinary investors, the impact may come through lower costs or smoother fund operations. It is only a proposal, so wait for the final regulation before assuming change.
Key Statutory Highlights
- SEBI has proposed net settlement of funds for outright purchase and sale transactions by a mutual fund scheme in the cash market.
- The proposed net settlement will apply only at the level of an individual mutual fund scheme.
- The proposal covers transactions carried out on a recognised stock exchange.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you invest in mutual funds, keep an eye on SEBI's final circular. This is only a proposal, so don't change your investments solely based on it.
