The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has put in place a framework for managing passive funds - Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Index Funds - amid a growing popularity of such funds as an investment product for retail investors.
SEBI, in its circular on May 23, 2022, said mutual funds (MFs) can either launch an actively-managed ELSS scheme or a passively-managed one, but not in both categories. The passive ELSS scheme should be based on one of the indices comprising equity shares from top 250 companies in terms of market capitalisation.
