Valuation Under FEMA
Valuation under the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) regulations is essential for assessing the value of financial instruments, assets, and securities in various contexts such as mutual funds, portfolios, and corporate transactions. SEBI ensures transparency and fairness in the securities market by regulating valuation practices. Key aspects include the calculation of Net Asset Value (NAV) for mutual funds, asset valuation for portfolio managers, and the evaluation of assets during corporate actions like mergers and acquisitions. Saffron Multicon adheres to SEBI’s guidelines, ensuring that valuations are accurate, fair, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
