" Mutual Fund - Direct Vs Regular Plan "

-



Generally, most of the schemes of Mutual Fund has two alternative plans to buy i.e …. Direct Plan & Regular Plan.

Direct Plan is that option of Mutual Fund, which we buy directly from mutual fund company. But Regular Plan is another alternative option of Mutual Fund, which we buy through adviser or broker or distributor or intermediary.

Once upon a time, there was no existence of Direct Plan in Mutual Fund and only Regular Plan was available to buy. SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India)  has done the reform to launch Direct Plan of Mutual fund in the year 2012.

Direct Plan of Mutual Fund is always better than Regular Plan of Mutual Fund. Please go through the following points to understand the differences between the two plans……

·        When we invest in Direct Plan, we actually deal directly with the AMC (Asset Management Company) but  in case of Regular Plan we deal through adviser or broker.

·        Mutual Fund Company pay some fees to the adviser or broker in the form of commission in case of Regular Fund. But in case of Direct Plan no question of commission as there is no intermediary.

·        As no commission is payable in case of Direct Plan, the annual return of Direct Plan of Mutual Fund is more than Regular Fund by upto 1 %.

·        As no commission is payable in case of Direct Plan, Expense Ratio of the Fund House is less in case of Direct Plan. But Expense Ratio is more in case of Regular Plan due to commission to broker.

·        Market research and hard work is involved in case of Direct Plan - investor regarding choosing the right fund. But Regular Plan - investor go as per advise of broker and so no headache or hard work is required by investor.


Example :
1)      DSP BlackRock Micro Cap Fund – Direct Plan: 
      This scheme has annual return of 20.5 % and Expense ratio of 2.04 % as on date.

2)      DSP BlackRock Micro Cap Fund – Regular Plan:  
      This scheme has annual return of 19.9 % and Expense ratio of 2.4 % as on date.


So, you can understand the difference.

    Dear Avijit,
    While buying Mutual Fund, Lump-sum or SIP, you can choose Direct option or Regular Option in the same form, physical or online. For Direct option, you have to buy it directly from Fund House, physically or through online. For buying through third-party, only Regular option will be available due to the commission of third-party. The name of the Mutual Fund scheme is self-explanatory. e.g. 1) Motilal Oswal Most Focussed 25 Fund - Direct Plan
    2) Motilal Oswal Most Foccused 25 Fund -Rugular Plan

    The value of NAV will slightly vary.

'Market Making' & 'Market Maker' Suppose one buyer is willing to buy a specific stock but there is no seller to complete his order. The reverse case may also occur in Stock Market. To sort out this real life situation, the concept of 'Market Making and Maket Maker' was introduced by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) in indian Stock Market.  Market Maker is typically an institution which is appointed by Stock Exchange to increase and meet demand-supply of shares in Stock Market. The Market Maker places buy-and-sell call at the same time for a specific time period for a guaranteed number of shares.  So, 'buy / sell' requirement of investor/trader is fulfilled by Market Maker's own holding or inventory of stocks. The Market Maker books profit by the difference between buy-call and sell-call placed by him.  Suppose the Market Maker places a quote of Rs.500-450, which means that the Market Maker will buy stock at R

The title of this article is quoted by Warren Buffett & this is a harsh truth in every sphere of our life. Most of the people in this world are working very hard to earn money for living a life full of happiness & joy. They wish to fulfil their dreams and imaginations. Money is the most useful power which can do almost everything in this world. Hence, they invest their savings in the expectation of handsome return. No one  will be happy in losing his hard-earned money in poor investment.

They misguide their customer with fake promise for their own benefit & consequently, the investor loses his hard-earned money. A huge market-research is required for verifi
