NEW INVESTMENT PRODUCT CATEGORY IS SEBI'S LATEST MOVE COMMENDABLE?

Indian Economy & Market

|

August 2024

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a consultation paper proposing a new investment product category aimed at addressing a specific market need. This proposed asset class would offer investment options that sit between mutual funds (MFS) and PMS, filling a gap and providing greater flexibility in portfolio management. The new investment vehicle is designed for investors who are prepared to take on riskier market positions but find PMS schemes or AIFs out of reach. SEBI after reviewing the feedback and finalizing the regulations through stakeholder discussions, may issue the final regulations.

In the current bull market, new investors are eagerly looking for investment products that promise rapid returns. Meanwhile, seasoned investors who have successfully navigated various market cycles and earned from stocks or mutual funds are seeking opportunities that offer higher risks and potentially greater rewards. However, the regulated investment options available for such investors come with high entry barriers. For instance, Portfolio Management Schemes (PMS) require a minimum investment of Rs50 lakh, and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) demand an entry amount of Rs1 crore. Investors who have investible assets of Rs50 lakh or more might be reluctant to commit their entire portfolio to a single investment manager due to the high ticket sizes involved.

TRADE WAR: CHINA'S WEAPONISATION OF RARE EARTHS

After Beijing announced new restrictions on exporting rare earth minerals and the specialised magnets they make, the world's auto industry warned of shortages that could force factory closures. China's recent skilful deployment of rare earth sanctions was probably the key factor in forcing Washington to reverse its tariff rises on the country. They represent a new era of Chinese economic statecraft — evidence of a sanctions policy capable of pressuring not only small neighbours but also the world's largest economy.

ket Ind Ind SUPER INTELLIGENCE

“Al has been driving the stock market to record highs, but the market has the look and feel of a super-bubble,” says James Rickards. He feels that “the crash could come anytime and bring the market down by 50% or more. That’s not a reason to short the major stock indices today. The bubble can last longer than anyone expects. If you short the indices, you can lose a lot of money being wrong. But it is advisable to lighten up on equity allocations and increase your allocation to cash in order to avoid the worst damage when the crash does come.”

STRENGTHENING TRUST IN THE STOCK MARKET

Securities and Exchange Board of India's 210th board meeting, held on June 18, 2025, saw the approval of a series of amendments designed to enhance various facets of market regulation and governance.
