    The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has invited managing directors, chief executive officers (CEO) of all fund houses and the association of mutual funds of India (AMFI) to discuss various issues of the mutual funds industry on April 25 in Mumbai. The communication was made via e-mail.

    “Chairman, SEBI desires to have discussions with the managing directors/CEOs of various mutual fund and AMFI in order to have inputs which may contribute towards developing the vision/policy agenda for the mutual fund industry,” reads the SEBI e-mail.

    Ajay Tyagi, Chairman, SEBI, will preside over the meeting. The meeting will focus on larger policy issues for the development of the industry, increasing penetration, the current market situation, market expectations and try to gain an understanding of perceived emerging risks, SEBI said.

    In addition, SEBI has asked mutual fund (MF) honchos to indicate through e-mail the issues that may be deliberated on a priority basis in the meeting.

    We Welcome the gesture by sebi. It would have been more prudent to involve the voice of the distribution fraternity as well as they could share a realistic on ground issues and make recommendations that would suit the industry at large. Involving the manufacturer alone might be a one sided representation

    Might be? It will be one sided representation only. I am sure the first thing discussed will be to cut brokerage of IFAs. And this might be the only thing that will be discussed in this meeting. These are called backdoor meetings since they are not involving other stakegolders. Fund houses especially AMFI are becoming really greedy and wants the entire cake to themselves. Why SEBI is not asking them to disclose salaries of all the employees(which will be very easy since they do not have many employees) and what incentives are given to them? Why in direct schemes only distributors have to let go of their entire livelihood and fund houses not letting go of even 1 paisa of their revenue?
