Kudos to SEBI

The Mutual Fund Regulator SEBI should be commended for their steadfast approach in making Indian Mutual Funds simpler, cheaper, true to label, accessible and hopefully safer.

This is especially true in Liquid and Debt Funds where over the last 10 years they have tightened guidelines on how the
a) portfolio is invested,
b) how it is valued,
c) how it is disclosed and
d) the risk management practices to be followed.

Yesterday, in the backdrop of continued risks emerging in the liquid and debt funds, the SEBI board announced further regulatory changes which should make Liquid Funds more Liquid, Diversified and hopefully Safer.

As evident in the table above, Quantum Liquid Fund already follows many of these guidelines and there is unlikely to be any impact on how the fund is managed.

We re-iterate that a Liquid Fund’s main objective is to keep the portfolio liquid, Safe and then try and earn returns. Investors should see it as an alternative to Bank Savings/Current Account and/or to seek a systematic way to invest into the Equity Fund by using the Switch/Systematic Transfer Plans.
