SEBI has allowed RIAs to showcase their performance. However, such a report has to come from a performance validation agency.
According to SEBI guidelines, investment advisers can now make claims on returns or performance. However, risk and return metrics have to be verified by credit rating agencies recognised by SEBI.
SEBI said that the investment advisers are required to make such claims in the format specified by the regulator.
