Is there any smallcase using F&O ? If not, why didnt anyone make one ?
I guess there are SEBI hurdle for selling of FNO institutional products like MF
Thats not true.But smallcase is not a MF anyways.
Jst to clarify abt mutual fund …MFs are allowed to the extent of 50% to invest in FNO…with few constraints,
Here is a write-up from SEBI on derivatives:
