Talent crunch may slow Sebi's PMS revamp
In short
Sebi’s plan to revamp portfolio management services may face delays because there are not enough skilled people. The reported issue is building teams that can invest across countries, currencies and rules, while few Indian funds invest overseas now.
This matters for investors who want more diversification beyond India. The exact changes, timing and how much the revamp will change are not stated in the available reporting.
