SEBI's New Mutual Fund Disclosure Mandate
A recent rule change by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) requires mutual fund companies to disclose the information ratio (IR) for all equity-oriented schemes. The information ratio is a key financial metric that helps investors assess a fund's performance relative to its benchmark while accounting for risk. This mandates daily updates of the metric, providing a clearer view of how fund managers balance returns and risk over time. By focusing on the IR, investors can make better-informed decisions, shifting the focus from just past returns to a more comprehensive evaluation of fund managers' skills.
