SEBI proposes major overhaul in tracking household savings through securities market

Markets Desk — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 11:49:17 +0000

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) today has released a consultation paper proposing significant changes in the methodology for tracking household savings through the Indian securities market. This proposal comes after a review of the existing methodology, which SEBI found inadequate in capturing the full extent of household investments in the market. The changes aim to provide a more accurate and comprehensive picture of household savings, thereby improving national income accounting and financial health indicators.

Background and Need for Change

Household savings constitute a critical component of financial assets in national income accounting. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) currently track these savings through data published in the RBI Bulletin and National Accounts Statistics. However, SEBI’s review revealed that the existing methodology fails to fully capture the investments of households through the Indian securities market.

Currently, the RBI uses a combination of actual data and estimations to track household investments. While mutual fund investments are accurately captured through data from SEBI and the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), investments in the equity and debt segments rely heavily on estimations. Moreover, several segments and products in the Indian securities market are not included in the current methodology.

Proposed Changes

SEBI has proposed three key changes to the existing methodology:

Expansion of Investor Categories: The current methodology only considers Retail investors, High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs), and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). The new methodology will expand this to include all domestic individual investors, regardless of income or extent of investment, and Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISHs). NPISHs include entities such as NGOs, charities, trusts, and societies, which were previously excluded from the data.
Inclusion of Additional Instruments: The current methodology only considers the primary market for equity and debt investments and net flows into mutual funds. The proposed changes will include both primary and secondary market investments across equity, debt, mutual funds, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs).
Addition of Previously Excluded Components: SEBI proposes to include components such as preferential issuances, offers for sale executed through stock exchange platforms, private placements of debt, municipal debt securities, securitized debt instruments, and listed security receipts in the computation. These components were previously excluded, leading to an underestimation of household savings through the securities market.

Data Sources and Methodology

The new methodology will rely on a variety of data sources to improve accuracy. Data for primary market resource mobilization will be sourced from AMFI for mutual funds, while data for other segments will be collected from stock exchanges and depositories. Secondary market data will be aggregated from transactions on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSEI).

For holding data (stock), SEBI will source Assets Under Management (AUM) data for mutual funds from AMFI, while holding data for other asset classes will be obtained from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL).

Provisional Data and Impact

SEBI has provided provisional data based on the proposed methodology, highlighting significant differences from the existing methodology. For instance, the total stock of financial assets of households in 2022-23, as per the existing methodology, was ₹23,67,793 crore. However, under the proposed methodology, this figure rises dramatically to ₹83,83,011 crore, indicating that the current methodology significantly underreports household savings in the securities market.

Conclusion

SEBI’s proposed changes are poised to bring greater accuracy and comprehensiveness to the tracking of household savings through the Indian securities market. By expanding the categories of investors, including additional financial instruments, and using more reliable data sources, SEBI aims to provide a more accurate picture of household financial health in India. This overhaul is expected to not only improve national income accounting but also provide better insights for policy-making and financial planning.

The consultation paper is open for feedback, and stakeholders in the securities market are encouraged to provide their inputs on the proposed changes.

Mutual Fund bring sanity in IPO market and the inflated valuations

Markets Desk — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 09:12:46 +0000

Domestic mutual funds have emerged as key players in setting valuations for initial public offers (IPOs) above Rs 3,500 crore. Their growing influence is bringing much-needed sanity to the market, as they push back on high valuations and demand fair prices.

Top mutual funds, including HDFC MF, SBI MF, Nippon MF, ICICI Prudential MF, and Axis MF, have become essential participants in large IPOs, with a significant portion of the issue reserved for them. This has made them price setters, allowing them to negotiate better terms and ensure that companies leave some gains on the table post-IPO.

The trend is evident in recent large issues of new-age loss-making companies, where mutual funds have successfully resisted high valuations. With a cash pile of over Rs 1.2 lakh crore and 40 straight months of inflows, mutual funds are wielding their power to drive better returns for their investors.

Retail investors, who make up 26-46% of the issue, are also benefiting from this shift, as mutual funds drive a hard bargain on their behalf. Merchant bankers, who once dominated the IPO process, are now finding it challenging to sell to mutual funds, who are chasing returns fueled by retail money.

The days of inflated valuations and easy fundraising may be behind us, as mutual funds bring a dose of reality to the market. With their growing clout, they are ensuring that companies are valued fairly, and investors get a better deal.

SEBI proposes to launch new asset class to bridge gap between Mutual Funds and PMS

Markets Desk — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 11:30:01 +0000

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed the creation of a new asset class aimed at bridging the gap between Mutual Funds and Portfolio Management Services (PMS). This move is designed to offer regulated, higher-risk investment products, effectively curbing the proliferation of unauthorized schemes.

Under the new proposed guidelines, Mutual Funds with an Assets Under Management (AUM) of ₹10,000 crore over the past three years or those with experienced Chief Investment Officers (CIO) and Fund Managers will be eligible to launch this new asset. To keep retail investors away, SEBI has proposed to keep a minimum investment threshold of ₹10 lakh.

The proposed asset class will feature relaxed investment limits for debt securities, equity, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and will be permitted to take derivative exposures beyond simple hedging and rebalancing.

SEBI has called for public comments on various aspects, including the nomenclature, eligibility criteria, and branding of this new asset class. Trustees and sponsors will be required to seek SEBI’s approval before commencing operations.

To avoid confusion with traditional Mutual Funds, SEBI has proposed distinct branding for this new asset class. Additionally, investment strategies under the new class will allow for more flexible redemption frequencies, providing investors with greater flexibility.
