Riskometer framework for Indian mutual funds

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The riskometer is the SEBI-mandated graphical risk-labelling mechanism for Indian mutual fund schemes, displayed as a speedometer-style dial on every Scheme Information Document (SID) , Key Information Memorandum (KIM) , monthly factsheet , and advertisement. It communicates a scheme’s principal risk level on a six-level ordinal scale and is the primary plain-language risk disclosure available to retail investors. First introduced on a five-level scale in 2013 and revised to a six-level portfolio-based framework by SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/IMD/DF3/CIR/P/2020/197 dated 5 November 2020 (effective 1 January 2021), the riskometer is recomputed monthly on the basis of the scheme’s end-of-month portfolio and published within 10 calendar days of month-end.
