The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has said that it would allow mutual funds (MFs) in commodity derivatives in a month. Responding to a media person's query on the sidelines of the International Commodity Derivatives Conference 2017 in Mumbai, Sebi chairman U K Sinha on Friday said, "MFs would be the first among institutional participants to get started in commodity derivatives and, I think so that they would probably get approval in a month."
