Which of the following functions can an Asset Management Company (AMC) do in-house?

Practice question from NISM Series V A - Mock Test 1 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    Custodial Services

  2. B

    Broking

  3. Registrar and Transfer Agent

    Correct answer

  4. D

    All of the above

Why this is the answer

The appointment of Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) is done by the AMC. However, it is not compulsory to appoint an RTA. The AMC can choose to handle this activity in-house. AMC cannot be a custodian or a broker. An independent custodian ensures that the securities are indeed held in the scheme for the benefit of investors, which is an important control aspect.
