SEBI has mandated that all entities advertising past returns must use its newly launched platform. The system provides investors with verified performance data of registered advisors and algo providers, while enabling real-time monitoring of algorithmic returns. This initiative strengthens transparency, curbs misleading claims, and enhances investor trust in India’s markets.
India’s markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to enhance investor confidence and accountability.
Key highlights:
SEBI Chairperson announced that any entity wishing to advertise past returns must do so exclusively through the new platform. This ensures that investors are shielded from misleading or exaggerated claims.
The platform will serve as a centralized hub for verified returns of registered investment advisors, research analysts, and algorithmic trading providers, giving investors direct access to authentic performance data.
Officials confirmed that the system is equipped for real-time monitoring of algorithmic trading returns, a move aimed at curbing manipulation and ensuring fair play in India’s rapidly growing algo-trading ecosystem.
This initiative builds on SEBI’s earlier launch of the Past Risk and Return Verification Agency (PaRRVA), designed to validate risk-return metrics and bring credibility to financial services. By mandating verified disclosures, SEBI is reinforcing its commitment to transparency, investor protection, and market integrity.
