Sebi plans revamp of MF categorisation norms to curb scheme overlap
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed a comprehensive overhaul of rules guiding how the ₹75-trillion mutual fund (MF) industry designs its offerings. The redesign -- the first since the introduction of categorisation norms in 2017 -- aims to curb the mushrooming of near-identical schemes, while giving fund houses room to innovate. In a consultation paper released Friday, Sebi proposed allowing fund houses to launch retirement fund-of-funds (FoFs) with a target maturity strategy, enabling them to attract long-term, pension fund-like money. Fund houses managing schemes exceeding ₹50,000 crore in assets will also be allowed to launch additional schemes in the same category, to address liquidity challenges, particularly in the smallcap and midcap segments. To boost diversification, Sebi plans to permit equity-oriented schemes to invest in gold and silver, expanding beyond their current scope of equity, debt, real estate investment trusts (Reits), and infrastructure investment trust (Invits). The move aims to provide better downside protection during periods of high equity valuations, according to MF officials. To prevent redundant launches, Sebi has introduced a 50 per cent cap on portfolio overlap between sectoral/thematic equity schemes and other equity schemes, excluding largecap funds. This follows a surge in thematic and sectoral schemes, which grew from 149 to 202 in 2024, with passive schemes also rising over 12 per cent, largely in thematic and factor-based categories. Sebi plans separate regulations to address the proliferation of passive schemes. The regulator has also proposed expanding active equity, hybrid, and debt categories. Fund houses will now be allowed to offer both value and contra schemes (previously limited to one). A new sectoral debt fund category, investing over 80 per cent in debt instruments of a specific sector, was also introduced. In the solution-oriented space, Sebi plans to expand the number of permissible schemes from two to six. The proposed retirement FoF category will invest across equity, hybrid, and debt funds, with a life cycle FoF launch permitted every five years, for a maximum tenure of 30 years.
