Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company has paused fresh inflows into the Motilal Oswal Nifty Microcap 250 Index Fund, effective January 8.
The decision follows consultations with SEBI regarding alignment of the scheme with prevailing MF categorisation norms, under which micro-cap is not recognised as a separate category.
The scheme invests in 250 stocks beyond the top 500 companies (Nifty 500) by market capitalisation.
The company stated that it is in discussions with SEBI on the way forward. In the interim, existing investors need not be concerned, as the scheme will continue to be managed in line with its stated investment approach, consistent with how it has been managed since inception, it said.
Existing investments in the scheme remain unaffected, it added.
Any transactions received after 3 pm on January 8 will not be processed and will be refunded in accordance with applicable procedures, it added.
