Why should I invest through a Regular Plan and not a Direct Plan?
? Regular plans come with advisory and service support — right from goal planning to portfolio rebalancing — which direct plans don’t provide. The difference in cost reflects the value of ongoing guidance.
How do MFDs get compensated?
? MFDs earn a small percentage as trail commission from the mutual fund company — there is no direct cost to the investor. This helps ensure continued service, guidance and relationship management.
Why choose mutual funds over stocks?
? Mutual funds offer diversification, professional management, and lower risk compared to directly investing in individual stocks, especially for those who don’t have time or expertise or lack inclination.
Can I get higher returns if I invest on my own?
? Possibly, but without proper guidance, most investors make mistakes driven emotional decisions that harm long-term returns. Working with an MFD professional adds discipline and risk management to your investing journey.
Do MFDs charge any hidden fees?
? No hidden fees. MFDs earn trail commission transparently through the expense ratio of mutual fund schemes, which is regulated by SEBI and clearly disclosed.
