SEBI Will Reveal Conflict of Interest, Says Tuhin Kanta Pandey: Report
Moneylife Digital Team 07 March 2025
Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the newly appointed chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has emphasised the market regulator's commitment to disclosing any conflicts of interest among its board members to build public trust in SEBI's operations, says a report from Moneycontrol.com
 
Speaking at Moneycontrol Global Wealth Summit 2025, Mr Pandey says, "Maintaining trust and transparency is paramount to instill confidence in investors. Regulatory bodies and market participants need to uphold the highest standards of governance, transparency... maintaining trust and transparency extends to SEBI as well. Therefore, we need to be more transparent on conflict of interest of the board. We will be coming forward with our own plan to further transparently reveal these conflict of interests to the public."
 
 
In his inaugural address, Mr Pandey highlighted SEBI's dedication to creating an inclusive environment for foreign capital. He acknowledged the challenges faced by foreign investors and expressed SEBI's intent to engage with portfolio investors and alternative investment funds to address their concerns and simplify regulations.
 
By reiterating the regulator's focus on the four T's- trust, transparency, teamwork, and technology- he spoke about the importance of teamwork within SEBI and teamwork with market participants, the report says. "When I say teamwork, teamwork includes the teamwork within SEBI. It also includes teamwork with various participants, investor bodies, the market participants, and the market infrastructure institutions."
 
"All reforms need not be big bang. Many a time, small reforms cumulatively are more effective. Going forward, SEBI will use a right mix to both to achieve the objective," he added.
 
According to the SEBI chairperson, an informed investor is well protected, and the market regulator will make an effort to achieve this. He says, "How do we create awareness? We must plan how to make people aware of risk, to do wealth risks that suit them, how to allocate capital to a portfolio that de-risks them and take necessary allocation between debt and equity in a manner that suits them."
