SEBI institute to train investors

Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is setting up a dedicated training and research institute to train investors and other stakeholders in the securities market.

The institute, to be set up near Mumbai, would have six different schools which would train investors and explain to them various facets of the capital market, SEBI Chairman, Mr M. Damodaran, has said.

"This institute will be the first of its kind in the world, run by a regulator,'' he said. The institute would have different academic programmes, including a Ph.D on capital market, Mr Damodaran said.

He said 60 per cent of the faculty members would be drawn from India and SEBI has tied up with some experts in the US and the UK, who would mould the investors 'to work in a healthy market.'

Very valid points.

 

Basant jee, please do write to SEBI Chairman with these suggestions.

 

 

What I think is, it is one of the few initiatives taken by Mr. Damodaran to educate investors. Since long he is talking a lot about investors education. But one thing is not clear, whether they will provide training to individual investors to take proper judgement and become comfortable with the market OR they will impart training to prospective financial managers for opening a career opportunity ? Because they are talking about starting PHD courses, in which I think no individual investor will be interested.

really valid point...i believe in simple things but really really tough to practice...its tough job being simple
