As per the SEBI circular dated October 6, 2017, mutual funds have one month to align their portfolios as per the fresh list.

The market regulator on September 11 tweaked its October 2017 circular, mandating multi-cap funds to invest at least 25 per cent each in small-caps, midcaps and large-cap stocks, leaving the remaining 25 per cent to their discretion.

These funds are now required to invest a minimum of 75 per cent of their assets in equity and equity-related instruments from 65 per cent earlier.

On September 13, the regulator issued a clarification, reemphasizing that mutual funds should be true to label and stick to appropriate benchmarking, indicating its seriousness to implement the circular strictly.

The SEBI said it was conscious of market stability and that is why it had given the industry time till January 31, 2021, to meet the new minimum limit norms pertaining to multi-cap funds.

All mutual funds are required to comply with the latest provisions by the first week of February 2021.
