Under the <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/mutual-fund-trust-structure/">three-tier trust structure</a> prescribed by the <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/sebi-mutual-funds-regulations-1996/">SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996</a> , unit-holders are the beneficial owners of scheme assets. Legal title to those assets vests in the trustee company, day-to-day investment authority lies with the asset management company (AMC), and the unit-holder retains the economic interest and the protections that the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, the 1996 Regulations, and SEBI circulars confer on a beneficiary.</p>
