Summary
- The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has proposed a regulatory framework for research entities to offer model portfolios in the IFSC through a consultation paper issued on November 9, 2026.
- The proposal aims to clarify the scope of research recommendations under the IFSCA (Capital Market Intermediaries) Regulations, 2025, allowing entities to recommend baskets of securities with specific weightages.
- Research entities must register as such and adhere to guidelines on portfolio construction, disclosures, and performance benchmarking, while public comments are invited until November 30, 2026.
- This initiative could significantly enhance investment strategies available in the IFSC, aligning with its growth as a global financial hub.
