Such an extreme step has created panic among their investors as well as mutual fund investors in other debt schemes across AMCs, says ANMI Mumbai: The Association of National Exchange Members of India (ANMI), a brokers industry body, on Friday sought the intervention of the securities market regulator Sebi and the ministry of finance to protect investor capital in six mutual fund schemes that Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund (FTMF) is shutting down.
Late on Thursday evening, Franklin Templeton announced that it is closing six debt schemes due to severe market dislocations and illiquidity on account of Covid-19 and unprecedented redemption pressure from investors.
