@SEBI_India tough stance against #mutualfund houses suggest that time for them to introspect has arrived. Now, restructuring of #riskmanagement framework will discourage mutual funds from taking excessive risk & mask them with complex credit structures. @livemint @NDTVProfit
Implications of #Riskmanagement practices for #debtfunds -

1. Now, in case of any unforeseen liquidity crunch, #LiquidFunds will be able to honour redemptions. The highly liquid #portfolio would make them a safer but less rewarding for #investors.
@livemint @NDTVProfit @bsindia
2. @SEBI_India's decision of obsoleting valuations based on amortization would make NAVs of #debtfunds more transparent. Now, all #debt & #moneymarket instruments will have to value their #portfolio on #MarkToMarket basis. @livemint @NDTVProfit @BSEIndia @OutlookMoney @cafemutual
3. #MutualFund houses have been mandated that, fresh #investments in #CommercialPapers & #NonConvertibleDebentures shall be made only in listed CPs. Because, listed NCDs & CPs may have slightly better liquidity profile as compared to their unlisted peers. @livemint @NDTVProfit
4. To safeguard #investors from getting exposed to higher #creditrisks through liquid & overnight #funds, it has been mandated that these MFs won't be able to #invest in short-term deposits, debt & money market securities having structured obligations or credit enhancements.
5. To make it impossible to mask the risk with unreliable credit enhancement will ensure more security to #investors.

MF schemes can't #invest more than 10% of assets in debt & money market instruments with credit enhancements & group exposure also can't be more than 5%.
6. To discourage #investors from exiting #liquidfunds within the first 7 days, will give fund managers more breathing space in #portfolio creation. Those #investing in liquid fund will need to ensure that their #investment tenure is at least 7 days. @livemint @NDTVProfit @bsindia
7. #Debtfunds cannot #invest more than 20% of assets in any sector. @SEBI_India reduced the additional exposure to Housing Finance Companies to 10%. Can invest only 5% of assets in securitised debt based on retail or affordable housing loan. @livemint @NDTVProfit @bsindia
(Point 7 continued)
#Investors would be less exposed to risks arising out of sectorial concentration. High exposure of #debtfunds to NBFC sector has been one of the primary factors behind the on-going credit crisis.@livemint @NDTVProfit @bsindia @EconomicTimes @FinancialXpress
8. To safeguard #mutualfunds & #investors from sudden fall in the stock prices offered for credit enhancements. A security cover of at least 4 times for #investment by MF schemes in debt securities having credit enhancements backed by equities directly or indirectly is mandated.

Recent circular issued by @SEBI_India issued to @amfiindia & directed the AMCs & MFDs to comply. Being a MFD we all surely will. It further states that we cannot print/ post/ type future returns based on assumptions & projections for which disclaimer was being used (1/n)
Not challenging the decision made but what if the #investor asks that how much is expected returns - What should we say kindly enlighten the MFDs? In case of stocks upsides are always projected by way of Target & this must stop as its misleading. (2/n) @MFSahiHai
Those who distribute #mutualfunds & promote it by misusing the code of conduct in any way stern action is always taken & should always be taken. Professionally we are perfectly in favor of it. Rules & regulations must be abided. (3/n)

To do any kind of modification in KYC records, there is no digital process as on today. Investor or MFD has to do the needful via physical application only. Would request @amfiindia
@MFBALA @SEBI_India to make this process digital in the interest of #investors (1/n) @MFSahiHai
- Propose that Video KYC can be like the Banks are doing while applying for Credit Cards or Loans. Dedicated executives can assist #investors for RIs/ NRIs. IPV would be more real-time.

- Propose that Aadhaar Based KYC Validation be made quicker by virtue of OTP @amfiindia (2/n)
- Propose a dedicated link that can be provided to MFDs to ease the load on KRAs by Aadhaar based OTP Validation in order to save the transaction time.

- Propose that a common pool be created among all KRAs so that data can be fetched on real-time basis. @amfiindia (3/n)

#Inflation will always be one of the prime reason of making #investments in #Equities. Rest depends up on #investors behavior, asset allocation & the #goals. Focus on 'Real Return' not marketing gimmicks. #SaarthiZarooriHai
& #PlanZarooriHai with #MasterMindFinnAsset (1/n)
#Investment decisions contribute in a big way to inflation-proofing your #mutualfund portfolio. Frequent churning, performance chasing & exiting at the first sign of volatility lead to sub-optimal gains. (2/n) #MutualFundsSahiHai #investing #investors #StockMarketIndia
Avoid making impulsive #investing decisions based on predicted short-term changes in the #economy. Make sure any strategies you use to hedge against #inflation align with your overall #FinancialFreedom plan & assists to meet your #financial #goals. (3/n) #goalsetting #investing

#Investors should avoid knee-jerk reaction as the investigation is still underway & @AxisMutualFund has already sacked the concerned officials from their responsibilities.

Impacted #mutualfund schemes (image enclosed) haven't been recommended by us at #MasterMindFinnAsset (1/n) Image
Extent of notional losses that may have occurred to the #investors in these schemes can only be estimated after the probe. Investors may have to wait for further action, disclosures & announcements from the fund house & the regulator around this matter.(2/n) #axismutualfund
Unfortunately @AxisMutualFund is witnessing knee-jerk reaction of #investors via redemptions or stoppage of SIPs/ STPs. Focus of facts not rumors about the management. Such rumors have been there from past 2 years for @FTIIndia as well. (3/n)

A #finance professional must sell products which have strong foundation not because of high returns. Though on high return & risk basis #crypto can be considered may be 2% to 5% money of #portfolio which one is fine to take the chance or gamble. (1/n) #cryptocurrency #CryptoNews
#Crypto is, was & will always be 'A Zero Foundation Product'

One should not speak or #invest blindly in crypto already 3 crypto scams have happened, wherein people lost 'Real #Money' at the 'Cost of Virtual Money'
(2/n) @OutlookMoney @ETNOWlive @monikahalan @livemint @ActusDei
If one is so bullish on #Crypto, one can recommend his or her clients to a greater extent instead of preaching a lot on crypto. Too much of crypto debate is not right as in our country its neither legal or illegal as on today. (3/n) @cafemutual @kaul_vivek @latha_venkatesh

One would never plant an oak tree ... just to dig it up once a quarter to see how the roots are. When it compounds ... let it compound & the same is true in #MutualFunds. (1/n) @MFSahiHai @NileshShah68 @MFBALA @mohanty_swarup @iRadhikaGupta @fifaindiaorg @bsindia @ETMutualFunds
Oaktree roots grow from an acorn to a taproot system, similary #wealth is created via #MutualFunds. Primary root would grow horizontally into the soil. Later on, would transform into an extensive root system alongside maturation of the plant i.e. Magic of Compounding (2/n)
Only 1 in 10,000 acorns grow up to be an oak tree, and the same is true for #mutualfund #investors - only 1 out of many stay put to see the magic of compounding. One of such living legend is @Raamdeo (Mr. Raamdeo Agarwal - Chairman & Co-Founder @MotilalOswalLtd) 👇 (3/n)
