Funds must appoint a Dedicated Fund Manager, Boards of AMCs and Trustees must undertake documented due diligence, mandatory disclosures in offer documents and half-yearly reports are required, AMCs must report performance and breaches to Trustees, Trustees must comment in half-yearly filings to SEBI, and specified prudential norms and expense disclosure rules apply; prior circulars on these matters are withdrawn and an application procedure to SEBI is prescribed.
