The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has come up with a new advertisement code barring investment advisers and research analysts from promising investors the guarantee of assured returns in their communication.

This applies to ads and all forms of communication, including pamphlets, research reports, print and TV ads, mail and social media platforms.

The language in the communication should be accurate, true and complete along with being unambiguous and concise, Sebi has said.

The order asks for: “Standard warning  in  legible  fonts  (minimum  10  font  size)  which  states “Investment  in securities  market  are  subject  to  market  risks.  Read  all  the related documents carefully before investing.”. No addition or deletion of words shall be made to/from the standard warning.”

In March, Sebi had asked AMFI to remind entities about sticking to the advertisement code.
