Waiver of load for direct applications

http://www.sebi.gov.in/Index.jsp?contentDisp=Department&dep_id=4

This is really a good news for us (investors). If we decide on investing in a specific mutual fund,there really is no need to pay for an entry load of 2-2.5 % unnecessarily. All we need to do is submit the application in the specific collection center of the Mutual Fund house.

Will try out for a SIP and update this post next week.

Happy New Year 2008 and Happy Investing.

Thats indeed a good news for us. Now there is a benefit of 2.25% for direct submission to respective fund house.

Not sure how my agent - personalfn is going to react for the same.
I need to collect the contact points for all the Fund houses, I had invested in.

yes kota... for many mutual funds, CAMS acts as a collection center. and when i checked up, they did mention that there is no entry load if we invest in their collection center.

i think atleast this will help in reducing the search for many mutual funds.
