The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a directive requiring all Asset Management Companies (AMCs) to provide key risk disclosures on a monthly basis for small-cap and mid-cap schemes.
Under the new guidelines, AMCs must clearly publish the estimated days to liquidate 25% and 50% of the portfolio assets, asset concentration risk metrics, and cash/debt buffer levels. Stress testing must simulate sudden outflow scenarios to verify liquidity resilience under stressed market conditions.
The regulator stated this is aimed at enhancing transparency and safety following massive inflows into these higher-risk categories, preventing liquidity mismatches during market drawdowns.
