SEBI Proposes Relaxation in Call Recording Rules for Institutional Clients
SEBI has suggested exemptions from the mandatory call recording obligations for Research Analysts when dealing with institutional investors. This proposal arises from the recognition of the sophistication of institutional clients and their ability to independently assess investment risks.
The move is intended to alleviate the compliance burden on research analysts while requiring them to maintain records of other forms of communication.
Compliance teams and analysts should remain informed on these proposed changes as they may significantly impact operational procedures and compliance requirements for interactions with institutional clients.
