I appreciate the efforts done by United forum. But this is bag slap for those who still feel that anything good may happen, which will save the fate of distributors/advisors. "We should worry more about the investors than about those doing business of mutual fund distribution. Globally, the mutual fund is moving towards direct buying. Anyway, IFAs account for less than ten per cent of mutual fund industrys asset under management," Sebi Chairman U K Sinha said here today. By the way, those who are trying on Robo advisory are something, SEBI is already planned for it. Will be launching its own platform very soon. "Guys SEBI ne taboot me akhiri keel bhi thok di hamari umeedo pe" Read more at: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/52434785.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst

Dear Mr Mehta, excellent work done by you people. All arguments are logical, sensible and fact based. But if one thinks that SEBI has suo-moto taken this decision, then its highly misplaced. This regulation regarding the disclosures is a result of infighting between T-7 AMCs and B-7 AMCs for remunerating ever greedy Distributors for mobilising fresh investments in their schemes. Further Regulators all over the world responds only to lobbying - weather by Money bags (Business gropus) or Head Counts (Vote Banks), no suo - moto regulations for public interest.

Excellent Efforts Dhruvbhai & Team. You have collated the ideas from all the constituents of the UNITED FORUM and painstakingly put them together in an orderly yet simple format. Would like to see all IFAs together under ONE umbrella so that all concerned will take us seriously and be willing to listen, consult and work with us. The only hope is the message should reach and be understood by the people who take decisions affecting lakhs of people.

Great. I was in Kerala State Electricity Board. We have a regulator "Electricity Regulatory Commission" Some past members and one present member are my friends. Before issuing an order, they hear all stake holders and decide only considering merits of all aspects. I think SEBI, Capital Market Regulator also is legally bound to function in the same way. Let us jointly fight.

We are very concerned about our investors money. So it is important to follow a consultative approach rather than coming out with regulatory changes every now and then. Dear authorities, Pls consider our points , please give us a patient hearing, what we want to communicate can be a better and realistic approach.

Thanks United Forum Team & Mr Dhruv for this valuable information . All IFAs must be aware of the happening around us.We are very happy and sure that our regulator is doing everything possible to safeguard the interest of investors. As IFAs we have a real right to be consulted before any of the new regulations come into force. The background at various nations has to be studied before copying the moves of other countrys regulator. Give some time to cope up with existing sytems, later pls come up with a consultative approach before implementing new regulations . Ground level reality is that managing investors behavior to stay long enough tenures is not as easy as people think.

This is a great effort. NDs and banks also joining the IFA associations! An interesting development , given that the business models inherently being drastically different. Why an alternate solution is not proposed instead of saying no to disclosures? If disclosure is not done , an act that will alleviate the disclosures is needed for example : Uniform commissions for similar kind of schemes, uniform commissions for all advisers, and uniform commissions for all distributors. When the AMC had its own interest in selling the direct plan , is it not imperative to account for the distribution cost as a fixed component ? Why shall an AMCs have control on the distribution remuneration at all? These are all important issues which have to be settled as part of this disclosure , as all these issues when fixed , perhaps , we would need no disclosure.

Commission disclosure has thrown up an opportunity to unite all forums and has taken this even to the door steps of MoF. We must use this opportunity to set right a few more anomalies like service tax - a way has to be found to make the user of the service pay it- otherwise it will drive many out of business as total out flow for an IFA practicing for over 10 years can be as high as 40% of income which is already capped. The rule books of SEBI for IFA s must be rewritten with clear long term vision. Well done and hope the industry reinvents itself for the betterment of all stke holders.

I sincerely thank and appreciate FIFA chairman Mr Dhruv Mehta and the United Forum for throwing some logical questions before SEBI and the government. It wont be easy for the regulator to answer all the pertinent points raised by FIFA. It is high time SEBI made consultative approach with all the united forum and come out with an acceptable solution. It cantt act on its whims and fancies being an extended arms of the government. Sir, we all are united to combat this battle and seek justice before the authority till the end.

Very well researched. The three points are of immense importance and clearly stated. Hope this will help SEBI understand our view. Distriburors right to information is rightly depicted with the support of IOSCOs principal. Further, CAP on TER itself gives total transparency to the investor. Why is it necessary to give the break up of the same. This wont benefit the investor at all. The example of Distributor & RIA is also very effective wherein RIA enters into an agreement with client for its fees and distributor enters an agreement with AMC for its remuneration. Keep up Mr Dhruv and FIFA on the this front.

The above submission is well researched and brings all the stake holders together to take a rational approach to the problem of disclosure of commission. Besides i would like to highlight that all the consumer products available in the markets have a MRP but nowhere they disclose how much the manufactrure earned or how much commission the distributor/retailer earned on the product. Why they dont print the commission earned on the product ?
