KCML granted FII status

The Securities and Exchange Board of India recently approved KCML's application for registration as a Foreign Institutional Investor. FII status, which is granted only after a rigorous approval process, allows institutions not resident in India to invest in companies quoted on Indian stock exchanges, either directly or on behalf of their investment management clients. Without FII status,  investment managers interested in India can only invest indirectly through funds run by other managers.
