SEBI Calls Out the Menace of Unregistered Advisors in the Market

Unknown Apr 02, 2026 1 Views

SEBI Whole-Time Member Ananth Narayan has described unregistered investment advisers and research analysts as a "menace" taking advantage of increased investment interest. Addressing the ARIA Aspire 2025 event, he pointed out the more than 70,000 deceptive social media posts and accounts removed by SEBI since October 2024 together with social media platforms to stem wrongdoing.

Narayan asked investors to employ tools such as the UPI 'Payright' handle to recognize SEBI-registered entities and prevent fraud. He also asked for self-regulation by registered advisors to instill confidence, and proposed ARIA become a quasi-self-regulatory organization.

With record high domestic mutual fund inflows, SEBI emphasized prudent financial planning and investor education to ensure stable capital formation and market stability.
