Sebi, Amfi to ease SIF exam amid low distributor count

The discussions are centred around easing the National Institute of Securities Markets’ NISM XIII (derivatives) exam, which is mandatory for obtaining a license to distribute SIFs. Some of the options considered so far are to remove a portion of currency derivatives from the exam or to introduce levels within the exam structure, to ensure that mutual fund (MF) distributors are tested on topics relevant to the SIFs they sell.
