1. Via Registered Mutual Fund Adviser: The AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India) has a large number of registered mutual fund agents. The AMFI website has information about these agents' disappearance. These agents may come to your house to provide you more information about your options. They may also submit the documents on behalf of the investor. Filtering a few agents based on their experience, expertise, and qualifications is the best approach to find good agents. The difficulty in locating an active agent is one potential issue. The person who remains inert may be unable to distinguish between good and harmful schemes.
2. Independent Portals Various separate sources give mutual fund
listings. To start an online Demat account, you must first register online.
The submission must be made by printing and submitting the application form.
If you haven't completed your KYC yet, the portal will do it for you. After
you've made your login, you may instantly sell and acquire money. Only when
the site is not linked to the bank can complications develop.
3. Banks: Banks are the most common means to invest in mutual funds.
Banks are also mutual fund agents, so they're the ideal place to go if you're
not sure which mutual fund to buy. When an account is formed only for the
purpose of holding non-equity assets such as ETFs and gold, a Demat account is
not required. ETF and gold ETF trading does not require a Demat account and
may be done using a trading account. Trading Futures and Options without a
Demat account is also possible. The trading account can be used to carry out
these trades. It is important to note, however, that the trading account
cannot be used to hold shares.
4. Transfer agents: You can use transfer agents if you don't want to
visit each AMC or locate the proper counsel. These serve as a link between the
mutual fund firm and the individual. Transfer agents are free to use and
provide information on new funds and schemes. These are one-stop shops for
submitting various forms.
5. Through AMC office or website: Many mutual fund providers discuss
and promote their goods online, either through their offices or their
websites. If the firm requires it, a physical visit to the fund house is
required. The application form, a copy of the PAN card, KYC papers, and the
amount of the initial check are then sent. Following that, a PIN and folio
number are assigned for future transactions. The disadvantage is that you will
have to repeat the application procedure with each fund firm you contact.
