The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is looking to introduce ‘MF Lite’ regulations for passive funds. The move is aimed at making passive funds more accessible to retail investors.
Passive funds are funds that track a particular index, such as the Nifty 50 or the Sensex. They are known for their low fees and low volatility.
The ‘MF Lite’ regulations would make it easier for retail investors to invest in passive funds. The regulations would reduce the minimum investment amount for passive funds and would also allow investors to invest in passive funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs).
“We are looking to introduce ‘MF Lite’ regulations for passive funds,” said Ajay Tyagi, Chairman of Sebi. “The move is aimed at making passive funds more accessible to retail investors.”
“Passive funds are a good investment option for retail investors,” said Tyagi. “They are low-cost and low-risk investments.”
The ‘MF Lite’ regulations are expected to be introduced in the next few months. The regulations are expected to make passive funds more popular among retail investors.
The ‘MF Lite’ regulations are a positive development for the Indian mutual fund industry. They are expected to make passive funds more accessible to retail investors and help to boost the growth of the industry.
