Impact Assessment

The resumption of subscriptions provides investors with renewed access to ICICI Prudential Smallcap Fund, which was previously restricted. This benefits investors seeking exposure to smallcap equity investments through this mutual fund scheme. The removal of PAN-level investment restrictions increases liquidity and accessibility for both existing and new investors. The change is specific to this single scheme and does not affect other ICICI Prudential mutual fund schemes.

Impact Justification

Resumption of subscriptions in a smallcap mutual fund scheme affects investors seeking to invest in this category. Medium impact as it removes previous restrictions but is limited to one specific fund scheme.
