   Dear Sanjay Goswami, for investing in Gold ETF, demat account is compulsory. For Infra Bonds it’s optional. http://www.fundsindia.com has a tie up with amkay global for demat & trading services. If you want to use that set up for your demat requirement, you may do so. Else you may opt the MF services of http://www.fundsindia.com & may use demat account of your choice.

   Thanks

   Dear Sanjay, http://www.fundsindia.com is merely a platform to invest electronically in MFs. Demat is not required to invest through http://www.fundsindia.com.

   Thanks

   Dear sanjay

   No need of any demat account for mutual fund transactions. They are having a separate account for mutual fund investments. So u need to fill all the details in the internet , download the form and submit that thru courier along with your identity , and address proof. They will complete the process in 3 business days. No need to provide any money for account opening. After that You can give ECS mandate for automatic deduction for sip investments and this will take another 3 weeks of time.

   They are providing excellent service. and you can rely them. For your safety u can take a print out and file all your account statement.

   I hope I am clear.
   Revert back if you have any query.

   Regards
   Vignesh

   Dear Sanjay Goswami, I can’t say about moneysights but as I’m using http://www.fundsindia.com for myself – here is my own experience – whenever I’m doing a transaction using http://www.fundsindia.com, I’m getting account statements in e-mails from the MFs I’m dealing with. Some of the MFs are also sending me the physical statements also.

   This is apart from the usual alerts generated by the http://www.fundsindia.com & mailed to my registered e-mail id as well as sms confirmation on my mobile. Investments in multiple funds of a single AMC are done under a single folio no. & by quoting that folio no. to the registrar of the AMC (CAMS or Karvy), we may get separate statements or may invest either directly or with another broker in future.

   Thanks

    Hi

    Opening a account with Fundsindia is similar to opening a mutual fund with any other broker. They are your broker and they give you services and they take the trail commission given my AMC to run their business.

    All that you invest is under ur name and you can get account statement from the AMC. So for example if Fundsindia or moneysights go bust tomorrow you just have to change your broker/make it direct and you can continue investing or holding you money.

    You can look at http://www.FundsIndia.com and also http://www.Moneysights.com both are offering transaction fee free service at the moment.

    Choose one and go ahead.

    I personally am using Fundsindia

    Dear Sanjay Goswami, ICICI Direct charges for SIP if done though it’s online portal. I’m not sure for physical SIPs done with I-direct.

    As rightly pointed out by dear Vignesh Baskaran, it’s advisable to go for http://www.fundsindia.com for your MF investments.

    Disclosure – I’m also an investor with http://www.fundsindia.com

    Thanks
