What your distributor should explain
SEBI asks a distributor to explain, in clear language, before an investment (SEBI FAQs for distributors, C10):
- the relatively higher-risk nature of the product;
- the ₹10 lakh PAN-level threshold and what happens on an active or a passive breach;
- the strategy’s objective, asset allocation, derivatives exposure, risk band and scenario analysis;
- the subscription and redemption frequency, notice period, liquidity-management tools, fees, expenses and exit load, if any.
Investments in Specialized Investment Fund involves relatively higher risk including potential loss of capital, liquidity risk and market volatility. Please read all investment strategy related documents carefully before making the investment decision.
