Direct Plan Or Regular Plan is good ?

 All MUTUAL fund Schemes offer two plans ● Direct  plan
● Regular plan

Direct Plan

In a Direct Plan, an investor has to invest directly with the AMC, with no distributor to facilitate the transaction. In a Regular Plan, the investor invests through an intermediary such as a distributor, broker, or banker who is paid a distribution fee by the AMC, which is charged to the plan.

Therefore, the direct plan has a lower expense ratio as there is no distribution fee involved.

Regular plan

In regular plan has a slightly higher expense ratio to account for the commission paid to a distributor to facilitate the transaction.

What happens if I put my money in a direct plan?

Managing a Mutual Fund Schemes entails costs and expenses, like fund management expenses, sales and distribution expenses, custodian and registrar fees, etc. All such expenses are covered by the expense ratio of the fund. Such expenses are within the limits prescribed by the regulator – SEBI.

ADVANTAGES

You can make really a high return
If you invest for a long period

   DISADVANTAGES

If you are unknown to MUTUAL funds or inexperienced you could not manage to get
that amount.

What should you have to consider Before investing in a direct plan

REGULAR FUND

A professional financial advisor can help you to understand and manage your funds more efficiently. by using his experience and expertise about the market and help you invest according to as you need.

DIRECT FUND

You do not get an experience of a professional and personal advisory. However, you can do your own research and understand funds well enough.

I like to say if you really understand funds then you can invest in a direct fund.

Others wish you first understand with Regular plan after understanding the Schemes you can move into a direct plan.

Thanks for your time.
