MUMBAI: At the same time, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) will also review several provisions relating to conflict of interest and related matters pertaining to its members and officials.

In its first board meeting under new chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Monday, Sebi increased the investment threshold for granular ownership disclosures by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) from ₹25,000 crore to ₹50,000 crore.

Sebi on Monday also permitted Category II alternative investment funds (AIFs) to invest a larger portion of their assets in listed debt securities with credit ratings of 'A' or below, and registered investment advisors or RIAs to collect up to one year's fee in advance, reversing the previous three-month limit.
