NISM Series V-B: Mutual Fund Foundation

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

NISM Series V-B: Mutual Fund Foundation is the foundation-level certification offered by the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) for entry-level professionals in the Indian mutual fund industry. Unlike Series V-A (which is the qualifying gate for ARN distribution), V-B is not tied to a regulatory licence and serves primarily as an industry-knowledge credential.

For mutual-fund-industry career entrants (AMC operations staff, RTA staff, fund accounting trainees, compliance trainees, customer support), V-B is the recommended baseline credential. Some AMCs require V-B for internal sales staff who do not directly hold ARN.
