20% salary of mutual fund managers to come by way of scheme units: SEBI
- A minimum of 20% of a fund manager’s salary shall be paid in the form of units of mutual fund schemes that they manage. Aside from fund managers, all other “key employees” of the fund house will also be covered, such as the chief executive officer, chief investment officer, and other employees that the fund house identifies as key employees.
- In the case of a fund manager managing only one scheme, he has the option to receive half of the compensation in the units of the scheme he manages. The other half would come by way of other schemes whose risk profile (as defined by SEBI’s risk-meter guidelines) are the same or higher.
- Index funds, exchange-traded funds, overnight funds and existing close-ended schemes will be excluded from unit allocation.
- View- Though this is expected to increase the transparency and may boost the confidence of the investors as the key employees will have ‘skin in the game’ – aligned interest, the norm is expected to hit the fund house employees hard.

- The association has identified 102 corporate bad loans of Rs 2 lakh crore, where the amount outstanding in each is over Rs 500 crore.

Zomato files for Rs 8250 crore IPO
- Food aggregator business Zomato filed its much-awaited draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI for INR 8,250 Cr IPO this year. The offer consists of fresh issue amounting to INR 7,500 Cr and a secondary component of INR 750 Cr, which will come from the company’s largest stakeholder Info Edge.
- Zomato has reported a revenue of INR 1,367 Cr in the first three quarters of the financial year 2021. The company’s expenses were at INR 1,724 Cr in the same period, leading to a loss of INR 684 Cr. The company’s overall revenue for FY21 is bound to increase as the company witnessed more stability in the last quarter due to a decrease in covid cases.
- View- Zomato is obviously one of the two main food delivery service companies in India. It is a duopoly structure as of now and that goes in its favour. Clearly, they are meeting a need that exists currently and there is a lot of excitement in this sector. This kind of business has a potential high operating lever. So, as the business scales up, costs do not go up in line and as a result, one cannot look at the profitability in the coming years.
