UTI operated under the regulatory supervision of the Reserve Bank of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1964, UTI introduced its first mutual fund scheme called \u201cUnit Scheme 1964\u201d.

The increased complexity resulted in the establishment of SEBI, which started overseeing the mutual fund industry, except UTI, initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-structure-of-mutual-funds\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_of_Mutual_Funds\"><\/span>Structure of Mutual Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As per SEBI, the structure of mutual funds in India is three-tiered and consists of the following entities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sponsor:<\/strong> The sponsor is the initial promoter of the mutual fund. They establish the trust and appoint a trustee and an <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/asset-management-companies-amc-in-india\/\">asset management company (AMC)<\/a>. Sponsors are usually banks and financial institutions. For example, SBI is the promoter of the SBI mutual fund.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trust and Trustee:<\/strong> The mutual fund operates as a trust. The trustee is like a legal guardian for the fund\u2019s assets. They make sure that AMC works in the interest of the investors.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asset Management Company (AMC):<\/strong> AMC manages the mutual fund. They employ fund managers who make investment decisions based on their research and invest money collected from investors into different asset classes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the three main tiers, other participants also play a key role in the functioning of the mutual fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Custodian:<\/strong> It holds and safeguards the securities of a mutual fund.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Registrar and Transfer Agents (RTA):<\/strong> They keep a record of all investors, manage and provide periodic investment statements, and facilitate transactions such as purchase, and redemption of mutual fund units.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distributors:<\/strong> They sell mutual fund units to investors. These intermediaries recommend mutual funds to investors and, in return, get commissions from the AMCs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/what-mutual-fund-fact-sheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mutual Fund Factsheet: Definition And Importance<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To wrap it up, SEBI plays an important role in regulating India\u2019s mutual funds.
