Market regulator's latest move to usher in uniformity in categorisation
of multi-cap equity funds augurs well for investors, ratings agency
Crisil said on Wednesday.
Accordingly, it pointed out that the move will make it easier for investors to choose between and within categories.
Last
week, the regulator modified the definition of the category and
mandated market capitalisation requirements to make the schemes more
diversified.
The regulator mandated fund houses till January
2021, to comply with this change in market capitalisation criteria for
multi-cap funds.
As per Crisil's analysis, mutual funds have
options like realigning the portfolio, facilitating unit holders'
switch to other schemes, and merging multi-cap schemes with other
categories to comply with this rule.
"Rebalancing of the scheme
portfolio would also need review of existing benchmark indices to
reflect the new market capitalisation requirement," Nagarajan
Narasimhan, Senior Director - Research, Crisil said in a statement.
"This is because, currently, most broad-market indices are skewed towards large-cap stocks."
According
to the agency, there are calls within the industry to allow a flexi-cap
category that can invest freely across market capitalisation.
"However,
whether the regulator obliges remains to be seen as there is already a
focused fund category that allows flexible investments, albeit for a
concentrated portfolio.
"As for investors, it is important to
wait and watch what their fund house does with its scheme and then make
changes to their portfolios based on overall risk-return profile,
taxation impact and investment horizon," the statement said.
