3. SEBI GUIDELINES REGARDING MUTUAL FUND INVESTMENTSThe regulator for markets in India, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India), works for the protection of investors’ interest in securities while regulating and promoting the securities’ market. The organisation has created guidelines for investors to gain awareness regarding the manner in which mutual funds function by offering the required information.

The guarantor’s role is to generate revenue through the launch of a mutual fund.The fund is then handed to a fund manager.A sponsor, according to the guidelines, is defined as someone who sets up schemes in keeping with the regulations of the Indian Trust Act, 1882. Sponsors primarily have the role of listing the schemes with the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
