India's Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority is on a mission to enhance investment options for private pension funds, aiming to deliver better returns for subscribers. Following the recent approval for fund houses to introduce customized pension schemes, the regulator is now considering expanding investment possibilities. Currently, most pension schemes primarily invest in debt and equity instruments. However, the regulator is contemplating relaxing regulations related to the marking-to-market of long-dated government and corporate bonds held by pension funds. To further incentivize participation in the sector, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority has recently allowed private pension fund houses to offer personalized investment plans based on a subscriber's risk appetite.
