Is buying Mutual fund from bank website different than buying from demat account ?

POSTED BY tashiaggarwal ON December 10, 2013 10:41 am COMMENTS (2)

Hi

How does buying Mutual fund from respective banks websites compare to buying them from through a banks demat account in terms of charges applied ( and hence net returns)

eg. buying HDFC top 200 G MF frought HDFC portal vs buying the same through Kotak Secutities dmat account.

Please advice.

Regards

T

    Both are same for the fund you are buying – regular plan of that fund i.e. HDFC top 200 (G) -reg.
    And their account maintenance charge also will be more or less similar (with very minimal differences).

    But if you invest in the fund directly from the AMC then you will be purchasing the direct plan with low expense ratio and that can make significant difference in longer run – like here if you invest through HDFC AMC then you will be buying units if HDFC Top 200 (G) – DIRECT Plan.

    Thanks
    Sumit
