This means that the government bodies delegate the detailed regulation and oversight of specific industries or sectors to the SRO, allowing them to manage and enforce the regulations within their domain. The government bodies still maintain their role in setting the overall policy direction and framework within which the SRO operates.

    While the investment strategy and investment policy are part of the offer document, investment objective is decided more frequently.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the investment objective is decided more frequently than the investment strategy and investment policy, which is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    In the case of RGESS schemes, the offering period shall be atleast thirty days.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because in the case of RGESS (Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme) schemes, the offering period is required to be open for a minimum of 90 days, not thirty days. This allows investors enough time to consider and make informed decisions about investing in the scheme.

    Open-ended schemes, other than ELSS, have to re-open for ongoing sale / re-purchase within 5 business days of allotment.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Open-ended schemes, other than ELSS, have to re-open for ongoing sale/re-purchase within 5 business days of allotment. This means that after the initial allotment of units in an open-ended scheme, the scheme has to allow investors to continue buying or selling units within 5 business days. ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Scheme) is an exception to this rule. This statement is true as it accurately reflects the requirement for open-ended schemes, excluding ELSS, to re-open for ongoing sale/re-purchase within 5 business days of allotment.

    In the case of post-NFO investment the statement of accounts are to be sent to investors within 10 working days of the investment.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the case of post-NFO investment, it is required to send the statement of accounts to investors within 10 working days of the investment. This means that after an investor has made an investment, the investment company or institution is obligated to provide the investor with a statement of their accounts within 10 working days. This statement will typically include details such as the amount invested, any returns or gains, and any fees or charges incurred. Therefore, the statement is sent to investors within the specified timeframe.

    Statement of Account are not required to be sent to dormant investors i.e. investors who have not transacted during the previous 6 months.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Statement of Account should be sent to all investors, regardless of their activity or inactivity. It is important for investors to receive regular updates on their investments, even if they have not transacted in the past 6 months. This helps them stay informed about their holdings and any changes in their investment value. Therefore, the statement that dormant investors do not require a Statement of Account is false.
