Following the earlier SEBI circular, AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India – an association of the 44 Asset Management Companies that are registered with SEBI) has come up with a Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) format. They have also come with a formula for calculating and apportioning commissions and other rewards.

Key points to note:
  • According to the SEBI circular dated 20th September 2016, AMCs will provide investors two crucial information in the half-yearly CAS ( ended September/March).
  • First, the CAS will now provide information on the total purchase value/cost of investment in each scheme.
  • Second, it will also provide (in absolute terms) the amount of actual commission paid by AMCs/Mutual Funds (MFs) to distributors on each of the schemes that the investor has invested in.
  • The term ‘commission’ here refers to all direct monetary payments and other payments made in the form of gifts / rewards, trips, event sponsorships etc. by AMCs/MFs to distributors.
  • AMFI has come up with a formula on how payments other than commissions (such as the form of gifts/rewards, trips, event sponsorships etc.) to distributors will be apportioned and displayed at investor/scheme level.
  • Such kind of expenses incurred by the AMC on a distributor will be divided among the distributors clients and the various schemes held by them based on the average AUM held by the investor in that scheme.
