Mirae Asset Mutual Fund has sought the approval of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch Mirae Asset Debt Opportunities Fund, according to information on the regulator's website.
Investments in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and InVITs (infrastructure investment trusts) has also been capped at 10 percent.
In January, this year, SEBI had allowed mutual funds to invest in REITs and InVITs to make real estate and infrastructure investments trusts more attractive for investors.
A mutual fund is permitted to invest only up to 5 percent of its net asset value in units of a single issuer of alternative securities. The maximum allowed investment in alternative instruments by a single fund is capped at 10 percent.
The move is part of SEBI's effort to get more investors into REITs and InvITs.
Both REITs and InvITs are expected to help garner billions of dollars into the country's real estate and infrastructure segments.
