Six charts that influenced SEBI’s mutual fund total expense ratio proposals
In what might be the biggest overhaul of the expense ratios that mutual funds have charged investors since 2018, the capital market regulator came out with a detailed set of fresh proposals on May 18.The proposals of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) aim, broadly, to make the total expense ratio (TER) more transparent and true-to-label (what you pay is what you get), bring about economies of scale (for retail investors, just as funds have brought it about for large investors through debt funds), bring in new investors, and discourage distributors and fund houses from churning investors from one scheme to another.
