    AMFI seeks meeting with SEBI to discuss commission disclosure issue

    AMFI is said to have devised a few alternatives to commission disclosure in account statement.
    Nishant Patnaik May 26, 2016

    AMFI has sought a meeting with SEBI to discuss the commission disclosure issue, said a senior official familiar with the development.

    “SEBI may not reconsider its decision. However, we can request the regulator to make it less painful. Hence, we have devised a few alternatives to disclose the commission structure of distributors in the account statement.  We are hopeful that the market regulator will give us a patient hearing,” said the senior official.

    Recently, a few representatives from various IFA associations met top SEBI officials.  The members had requested SEBI to reconsider its decision on commission disclosure and give them some time to adapt of these changes.

    Ever since the market regulator instructed AMCs to disclose commissions of distributors in account statement from October 2016, many distributors have vehemently opposed this move as they believe that this rule will be regressive and induce pass back practice by investors.

    SEBI is hell bent on marginalising the MF industry, so that these intermediaries are forced to sell other expensive products such as Life Insurance; there appears to be a hand in glove between SEBI & the Life Insurance Industry, and of course the big AMCs....

    Disclosure is not wrong; but when the Indian investors are matured enough to understand the disclosures it will only do harm to the Investors & Industry; Its like giving a knife to the child to play.

    Its absolutely baseless for SEBI to compare India with other developed markets, where in there people respect professional service and they believe in paying the fee. Indian investors are not matured; they expect everything free of cost... Instead of incentivising the MF industry for spreading the equity in this country, they are killing it knowingly... Obviously, there is moral hazard from the SEBI's side.

    Really,it is surprisipng that why SEBI is Doing al this mesh.it is clear that AMC's utilised this IFA channel to reach sustainable size, and they do not want to spend more to IFa.these 3 sebi,amfi,amc's become cortel and they wanted to eradicate these IFA community.is there any industry in d world,where commission or salary paid to their agents or employees to its customers.is there anybody work w/o salary..is there any industry mentions it's mfg cost to its customers..already insurance industry spoils the entire system.only god can save us.

    If all the efforts to avoid disclosure of brokerage fails, I suggest IFAs and other distributors should at least show our protest against the unfair move in democratic manners. Even animals react when attacked.

    I am really eager to know what our Association is doing. Last 18th may they have met SEBI. but no communication received from cafemutual regarding the outcome of it. Can any one share the same? Can any body share what is the obstacles being considered by our associations to take the help of the law to stop this?
