Sebi unveils draft rules for investment advisers

Premium

New Delhi: The capital market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has released draft regulations for bringing investment advisers in the country under its regulatory control. Sebi (Investment Advisers) Regulations 2007, lays out the definition of an investment adviser and exclusions from such definition.

The regulations also categorically define the “investment advice" as advice rendered for sale or purchase of securities for a consideration, which could also be a non-cash consideration.

Mint reported about these regulations on 30 September and 5 October. These regulations have excluded advisers in the media and those who do not give advice on specific securities.

The regulations also prescribe a certification process for each investment adviser, their general obligations and disclosure requirements to clients.

Advisers have to disclose the amount of compensation, commission or rewards they receive for recommending a stock to the client. Advisers complying with the norms will be eligible for certification by a self-regulatory organization, which may be prescribed by Sebi.
