SEBI proposes new platform to help investors trace inactive mutual fund folios

The market regulator observed that investors in mutual funds occasionally lose track of their holdings over time.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Tuesday 17 Dec proposed developing a service platform for investors to trace inactive and unclaimed mutual fund (MF) folios, PTI reported

The Registrar and Transfer Agents (RTAs) would create the suggested service platform, Mutual Fund Investment Tracing and Retrieval Assistant (MITR), according to a consultation document released by Sebi. The suggested site will update KYC according to current standards, encourage investors to look for forgotten mutual fund assets, and provide measures to lower the danger of fraudulent redemptions. It would also result in fewer mutual fund folios going unclaimed and help create a transparent financial environment.

Given that investments may have been made in physical form with minimal KYC information, the regulator observed that investors in mutual funds occasionally lose track of their holdings over time.
