SEBI Actions on Investment Advisors: Capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday canceled the registration of 68 investment advisers for non-payment of renewal fees. “The certificates of registration of investment advisers vide Notice No. 1 to 68 under the Intermediaries Regulations, 2008 are cancelled,” said the order issued by SEBI’s designated authority Soma Majumdar.

SEBI’s strict action

The entities whose registrations have been canceled include companies and individual advisors like True North Labs Pvt Ltd, Equity Mantra, Saurabh Mundra, Sheetal Aggarwal, Atit Hemant Wagh, Gatebasis Securities and Technologies India Pvt Ltd, Lucid Technologies and Avenue Venture Partners Investment Advisors LLP.

As per SEBI’s Investment Advisor (IA) Regulations, every registered investment advisor is required to deposit renewal fees every five years from the date of grant of registration.

Action after show-cause notice

The regulator said that despite repeatedly informing these institutions about the expiry of the deadline, they did not pay the fee. Between February and June, SEBI had issued several show-cause notices to them. Since their certificate had already expired, SEBI considered cancellation of registration as a necessary step to avoid a situation of misusing the registration to mislead investors. Majumdar said in the order that the certificates of the noticeholders have already become inactive, hence their registrations are canceled under the Intermediaries Regulations, 2008.

On the other hand, SEBI has relaxed the educational qualification criteria for Investment Advisors (IA) and Research Analysts (RA). Now people who have graduated in any discipline will be able to apply for registration in both these categories. However, it will be mandatory to pass the certification examination of National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) to maintain domain knowledge and professional competence.

Till now, for registration, applicants were required to have a graduate/post-graduate degree in finance-related fields like finance, business management, commerce, economics or capital markets. According to the new system, now graduate candidates from law, engineering or any other subject will also be eligible to become investment advisors and research analysts.

India’s top 1% grew wealth by 62%: The gap between rich and poor is continuously deepening in India. According to a new report by the G-20, the wealth of the top 1 percent of the country’s richest people has increased by 62 percent between 2000 and 2023. This report has been prepared under the chairmanship of South Africa and it has expressed serious concern over the increasing level of inequality.

The growing gap between rich and poor

This study, prepared under the leadership of Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, says that global inequality has now reached emergency level. This is a big threat not only to economic stability but also to the progress of democracy and climate change.

The report states that 41% of the new global wealth acquired between 2000 and 2024 has gone to only the top 1% of the rich, while the bottom 50% have gained only 1% of the wealth.

Comparison of India and China

While in India the wealth of the top 1% people has increased by 62%, in China this increase was 54%. According to the report, due to increase in per capita income in both the countries, the inequality between the countries has decreased slightly, but the inequality within the countries has increased to an alarming level.

The report says that economic inequality is not an inevitability, but it is the result of political and policy decisions, which can be changed with strong political will.

possible to reduce inequality

The report suggested that, just as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) works to monitor climate change, an “International Panel on Equality (IPE)” should be created, which would collect official data on global inequality and provide recommendations to governments.

Independent experts like economists Jayati Ghosh, Winnie Byanyima and Imran Valodia were involved in preparing this report. He warned that if the gap between rich and poor continues to increase like this, it may affect the democratic structure, social unity and economic development.

For some time, tremendous fluctuations have been seen in stock markets around the world. The growing trade war between the US and China and the tariffs of Donald Trump has made the situation more tense. In such an environment, investors are looking for safe targets.

Meanwhile, Varren Buffett, one of the world’s largest investors, is surprising everyone towards gold and silver. Till now, Buffett considered gold as non-productive assets and always described shares as a better investment option. In 1998, he even said that gold is just for storage, it does not produce anything, but the situation up to 2025 changed everything. According to reports, this year, gold and silver prices have registered a rise of 45-50%. It also caught the attention of Buffett company Berkshire Hathway and now they are seen accepting the importance of these metals.

Robert Kiyosaki’s alert: shares and bonds will crash
Robert Kyosaki, author and financial guru of the famous bestseling book ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’, has been advising people to invest in gold, silver and bitcoin for a long time. He says that whenever paper properties (shares, bonds) collapse, real resources like gold and silver prove to be safe bets.

Meanwhile, seeing this stance of Warren Buffett, Kiyosaki said on social media that even though Warren Buffett has made fun of gold-silver investors for years, it is clear to support them. It is clear that shares and bonds are moving towards the market crash. “He further said that the time has come that the investor is now focusing on safe options like gold, silver, bitterium and ethiums.

Gold-silver shine and bitcoin attraction
In 2025, the speed of gold and silver has made it clear that investors are returning to safe haven assets again. Gold is considered to be the oldest means of preventing inflation and recession. Currently, silver is rapid due to both industrial demand and investment. Bitcoin and Crypto are becoming increasingly popular as Digital Gold. Kyosaki believes that gold and silver have been reliable for centuries, but bitcoin can be the biggest game changing investment in the future due to its design and limited supply.

What does this change matter to investors?
The support of a big investor like Warren Buffett is a big sign for the market to support Gold-Silver. This means that the world’s safest shares and bonds are also at risk. Kyosaki has already warned that the upcoming recession can be bigger than the 1929 gathering. In such a situation, investors will have to change their strategy and include solid options like gold and silver in the portfolio.

US President Donald Trump last week announced additional punitive action on imposing 25 per cent high tariffs on India and doing business with Russia, causing a stir all over the world. He also said that I do not care what India does with Russia. They can further drop their dead economy. The reaction of Canadian Business Tycoon Kirk Lubimov has come about Trump’s statement.

Testband company chairman Kirk Lubimov, while criticizing Turmp’s strategy on Twitter, wrote, ‘Trump is now taking the fastest growing economy in the world to fight with India. This is a big geopolitical mistake. Lubimov believes that the importance of India is not only economic, but also to balance China’s influence in the supply chain. He suggested Trump that he should cooperate with Canada and India instead of controlling India with nail-hills so that global resources can be balanced.

I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again;

This stance came at a time when India has become the second largest buyer of crude oil from Russia. Earlier this part was less than 1%, which has now exceeded 35%.

India’s response- we grow fast economy

The Government of India immediately responded to this statement based on diplomatic and facts.

According to Goyal, India’s contribution to Global GDP is around 16%. The flexible economic policies and structural reforms of the country have made India a global growth engine.
