flag SEBI bans Indian mutual funds from pre-IPO investments to reduce risk and ensure compliance.

flag SEBI has banned Indian mutual funds from investing in pre-IPO share placements, restricting them to only anchor investor or public issue portions of IPOs. flag The move, based on regulatory requirements for listed or "to be listed" securities, aims to prevent mutual funds from holding unlisted shares if an IPO is delayed or canceled, which could create compliance and liquidity risks. flag The decision follows repeated queries from fund houses and concerns over regulatory clarity, particularly the lack of a defined term for "to be listed." flag While some fund managers argue the ban limits potential returns and creates an uneven playing field with AIFs and foreign investors, SEBI emphasizes investor protection and compliance. flag The directive, communicated to AMFI, requires immediate compliance.
