SEBI intensifies scrutiny on mutual fund portfolio similarities
SEBI has tightened oversight on mutual fund portfolio overlap to improve diversification, transparency, and investor protection across similar scheme categories.
India’s market regulator SEBI has stepped up monitoring of portfolio overlap across mutual fund schemes to ensure adequate differentiation for investors. The regulator is examining cases where schemes within the same category hold largely identical stocks, which can dilute diversification benefits. Fund houses may be asked to justify overlaps or realign portfolios to maintain category integrity.The move improves transparency and reduces concentration risks for investors.
