What are Direct Mutual Funds on FYERS?

When investing in mutual funds through FYERS, you'll notice the term Direct Mutual Funds. These funds offer the same portfolio as regular plans but without distributor commissions, often resulting in better returns over the long term.

What are Direct Mutual Funds?

Direct Mutual Funds are investment plans offered directly by the Asset Management Company (AMC) without involving any third-party distributor. We offers only direct plans, allowing you to invest with lower expense ratios and no commission charges.

Key differences from regular plans:

  • No distributor or advisor involved
  • Lower expense ratio due to absence of commission
  • Higher NAV (generally) compared to regular plans
  • Greater transparency in cost and return

Whether you invest in equity, debt, or hybrid schemes, choosing direct plans via FYERS gives you a cost-efficient investment path.
