After stocks, gold and bonds, India’s capital markets regulator has now allowed asset management companies to float funds that invest in real estate.The move by Securities and Exchange Board of India, or Sebi, will allow retail investors to take advantage of the boom in property prices by putting in far less amounts than it takes to buy a house or land.The rationale of the product lies in fact that small retail investors will now be able to get exposure to this asset class (real estate) without having to deploy a substantial amount.For realtors caught between a volatile equity market and reduced means of borrowing, Sebi’s decision opens up another source of capital. “It will give them one more source of institutional funding, but will take some time before it becomes a significant source.”Sebi has mandated that at least 75% of a scheme’s total assets should be invested in real estate projects and securities. It has also said the firms cannot invest more than 15% in a single real estate project.For more view- realtydigest.blogspot.com
