RIA regulations look like a New Year gift to MFDs
SEBI has delivered two unexpected googlies in its RIA consultative paper issued today – which, if my understanding is right, looks like a good New Year gift for MFDs. It effectively plugs all loopholes that would allow any intermediary – big or small – from operating a hybrid model of RIA and MFD. But more importantly, it seems to have left enough on the plate for MFDs to offer a reasonably client centric proposition – one which may not compel them to run towards the RIA model – unless they really want to.

  SEBI’s new RIA proposals humiliate MFDs
SEBI’s latest RIA proposals announced yesterday finally recognize the importance of maintaining product suitability responsibilities with MFDs, but strangely conclude that they cannot offer incidental advice anyway – which violates clearly established IOSCO principles. Its latest salvo completely ignores all the recommendations of its own International Advisory Board. And the unkindest cut of all is a new fatwa that distributors must declare to their clients – at the time of executing every transaction – that they may not be acting in their clients’ best interests. This is plain defamatory and humiliating.

Trail commissions are anti-investor
Trail commissions are anti-investor: that’s the conclusion that the Canadian regulator (CSA) has reached in its recent discussion paper where it calls for eliminating embedded commissions in mutual funds, to be substituted by a fee based model. CSA has made 3 points on why it believes trail is anti-investor – which bear careful reflection.
