Mr. Bond has rightly written with logical arguments. He has represented we IFAs to the media. He deserves praise for his initiative. Thank you Mr. Bond. You have written earlier also when Mr. Nathan had written article with flawed arguments while comparing ppf with ELSS. It is very much reassuring to see that you are working to let public know the truth.

Jis subject ki abcd nahi jante us par apna newspaper nikalte hain, sebi ki tarah enki bhi khabar lene wali niyamaken honi chahiye.

Dear Mr Jhaveri, Thank you for this effort. Its deeply frustrating that people who dont have adequate grounding of subjects because they never meet actual clients; are writing all kinds of stuff. There are too many theories touted on twitter, all based on either American experiences or based on feeling but not grounded in Indian realities. Also most commentators dont understand the context where we are coming from. Till 10-15 years back RBI was issuing relief bonds at 9-12%, there was no equity culture and no investment culture. Now we are saying people should pay for advice!!! How??? If opinion makers have a view, its our job to educate them and you have done a fabulous job!

Mr. Nathan doesnt deserve to be in journalism.In fact, he should feel sorry from all investors and advisor. We all hope that Mr. Ganguli, ETs Editor will intervene at the earliest without fail and will take stern action against Mr. Nathan for his unresponsive journalism.

Contd One TER clearly means SABKA SATH SABKA VIKAS. Different Prices for different class of investors gives benefit to only Corporate & Informed clients at the cost of Retail, innocent & uninformed investors. It also spreads lot of negativity about the distributors. The situation can stop or control the spread of our products & it is Alarming for AMCs. It can result in huge number of confused investors. Is uninformed confused investor comfortable in coming directly to our industry? Or… Are only informed investors enough for penetration? Have we decided not to spread? Are AMCs satisfied with 2%-3% penetration? Is there some hidden agenda working somewhere against our Industry or distributor community? One TER should be implemented soon. Dear Friends Mr. Bond has successfully reminded their duties to some media houses & in the process, incidentally our issues & problems got highlighted. United IFA community is need of the hour. United We Stand divided we ….

Well Said Mr. Bond. We all completely agree with your article & your effort is highly appreciated. Surely our Associations & Federations will raise the matter with authorities. It is not only the question of IFAs. Misrepresentation can damage our Make in India initiative. IFAs hv done & are doing greatest contribution in Make in India by collecting HUGE amount which reduces dependence on Foreign Investments. Some misrepresentations hv done huge damage to AMC’s business also. Now it is high time for our authorities to initiate strict action against such misrepresentations. We can also say that this type of misrepresentations spread negativity about entire industry. Actually speaking the policy of different prices for different class of investors is biggest liability for our Country. Our Government is taking all possible steps to discourage & stop Black money. Multiple TERs can encourage unaccounted transactions & it is against the principle of SABKA SATH SABKA VIKAS. Contd

The ET correspondent seems to have approached the issue with a mindset.has he done any analysis to substantiate his arguments. Does he know how investors make a decision? Decision is mostly based on past performance and smart people take the help of an advisor and invest a small portion through the advisor and invest in the same scheme in the direct mode. Does this not amount to an unethical practice? Its unfortunate that the regulator chose to ignore the advisor/distribution community. This I feel is the legacy socialistic mentality which needs to vanish for our country to grow in double digit. Will Our respectful Regulator prevent a client from investing in the same scheme both through the distributor as well as direct mode? Its also a sad truth our media is so biased and uninformed and they create confusion in the minds of the investors

The reporters need to explicitly provide facts and data rather their views on whats good for investors andbwhats not. Hope ET wakes up and does a course correction on their reporting and strives to maintain high standards in write-up.

I think Mr. Nathan has no clue on investing and Mr. Jhaveri is spot on in countering Mr. Nathans comments pointwise. Investing in todays world is suicidal without guidance with so many schemes out to confuse people. Further, allocation of funds in various schemes based on risk appetite/age and goals count a lot and this cannot be done without expert advise. In these times of high volatility and disruptive technologies investors might land up shooting themselves in the foot most of the times without expert guidance. Most of the independent investors invariably land up trying to time the market leading to losses. Trying to venture out on your own is downright foolish. Such articles misguide investors by making investing in mutual funds very simple.Mr. Jhaveri has always put investing in the right perspective in an easy to understand and uncomplicated manner.

Sunil, this is the first of your articles / posts that I am reading. I attended one of the sessions and was impressed with your valuable inputs and approach in dealing with clients. I regularly read articles of Dr. Nathan. As you rightly pointed out, one should be careful when something is penned down, if he is not armed with facts and figures. ET, no doubt, commands lot of respect in the media community. But it would do well to have some control over such columnists. IFAs also carry reputation in the MF industry and among investors. The least is, if you cannot support the IFAs, it is absolutely fine. At least do not cause any damage to the IFA community.

I have been part three Industries and Practices including Financial Services. Health Care/Pharmaceutical IT/Office Automation. Financial Services. The norm and Protocol elsewhere,whenever anyone is contributing an article, is to give Credentials of the writer to reassure and reiterate is, that one has the experience, knowledge, wisdom to share or comment on what is being shared with readers. Unfortunately,this is absent or not followed in so called publications. As a result,there is a disconnect, lack of understanding on the writer. The worst part is ,many waste their time and energies , feeling bad and getting affected emotionally. For what? Its like a quack(RMP) commenting on the practice of a General Physician or a Specialist?! Insist on Publications mentioning Credentials of Writer/Correspondent? Should we take cognizance of that? Take it with a pinch( loads?) of salt. Or outright ignore it? Choice is ours/Readers/AMFI Certified Fraternity.

We at grass-root level catering the MF industry in truly Mutual manner as expected by us. So anyone should take care before putting any derogatory remark against our community.

Journalism definitely have influential powers and it is good when done with care, however yellow journalism is not desirable and we stakeholders must rebut such misdirected efforts. A Biased mind can make any story out of raw data/ Stats based on his/her perception and what one wants to portray. it becomes more harming when data is selectively used to give absolute contrast picture.

Educate investors on the nuisances of investments and their behaviour, certify their knowledge and then allow someone to invest direct. We have seen so many investors who gets into trading stocks without any knowledge just by listening to experts on TV or following free advice available into print, electronic and social media and personal network and ruin their fortunes on speculation. Same will happen to direct investors of MF. Dont forget what JMs schemes did to investors in recent history and there are many such schemes even from very big fund houses. Ajay

We live in India where still for many diseases we look for home remedy first then we approach the pharmacist before actually going to doctor for his specialist advice. I would also urge Mr. Nathan to check: a) Out of total clients who invested through direct plans, how many are RETAIL clients. b) & out of such retail clients how many of them are new unique clients, meaning who were investing for the first time and came through direct plans. Please know and understand the realty before blowing the trumpet. We are not against Direct plans but can a doctor let a patient do self medication without any formal educational background of medicine and harm himself in the process?

Very well elucidated Mr Jhaveri. That has been the problem of the country, people sitting in air-conditioned corridors of five star hotels talk about poverty alleviation and in the process help create policies for elimination of poor rather than alleviating the cause of their poverty. Such one person seems to be Mr. Nathan. I would urge Mr. Nathan to meet only .00005% of MF investors at random and across cities especially those who have invested under direct plans and know: 1. Did they think of any financial goal or invested just like that. 2. On what basis they selected their schemes? 3. When they plan to exit from their MF investment? 4. What returns do they expect going forward from their MF investments? 5. What asset classes MFs invest into and their (retail investors) exposure to non equity mutual funds? & other questions that we as MF advisors ask a prospective investor before advising him a portfolio of schemes for investment and you would know the reality.

Dear Mr. Nathan, How foolish it is to compare the PF with MF returns. Dont you think your artical contain the Innovative timely investment strategy. I dont know what your qualification or expertise but with your above detail, I am sure you are no where stand in front of IFAs Expertise. Do you know about Ratio Analysis, how to implement PE (Price to earnings) to get max returns.. I am damn sure you wont.. But after my comment you wiill do google, Mr. Nathan Investor believe on us because we respect there investment. Not like you who write anything without applying mind. Mr. Nathan, dare to accept my challange, Just come out from Metro cities and choose B15 city and sell only 10 SIP by saying paid service.. get the litmus test and then will analyze your expertise... and yes ET must disclose these so called jounos Education and experiance..

The push/pull logic says it all. Plus the financial illiteracy of investors. IFAs are an indispensable element in case we need an empowered investor community. Otherwise indefinitely we will be a nation which will keep "investing" in insurance and bank FDs and not even matching inflation. Hoping for the best. Tnx for the succintly worded article

Such explanation will keep IFA fraternity very much in confident to handle their investors concerns which normally arise through wrong presentation in News papers by journalist Narendra Nathan. I think Job is not end here, you will have to convey this message to MoF and AMFI with support from IFA Associations and AMCs. Thanking you!

Would like to ask Mr.Nathan, if IFA would have not been there, how he would have gained knowledge about Mutual Fund. He also have invested first time through an IFA. It is an IFA who would have guided him to reach at this level. He is no way concerned about the readers but just to get fame sensationalizing the things.

Dear Mr. Sunil, Absolutely fantastic reply to MR. Nathan. ET should take a serious note of such article in future. I would like ET to bar Mr. Nathan from writing any article on Mutual Fund and IFAs without his article being critically reviewed by a qualified IFA like yourself or by an AMC. According to me even SEBI is not taking the right step towards promoting the Equity based MF. The sentence that every MF scheme has to write "MF investment is subject to market risk....." should be framed like this "MF investment is highly volatile in the shorter period but stable in the longer period of above 10 years......" SEBI should also take on RBI and force RBI to have a rule that every FD should mention something similar "Bank FD interest may or may not be more than the inflation....... and thus your maturity value may have less purchasing power than the invested amount as on today....".

Thank you Sir for your article. Few writers have tunnel vision and they try to impose their ideas on others just because they are close to media. It is important for Media house to allow only knowledgeable writers to write informative articles who can represent Facts. Just yesterday two "direct" investors came to my office asking service for their mutual fund. They name in statement is wrong. Email id worng....bank account IFSC code missing...Nominee name wrong...And one investor whose age is 60, his selection of fund itself is wrong.....I have to give them service just to help them. We as IFAs not just take investments from investors but our duty ends when investor meets their goal and funds reaches back to their bank account.

Thoroughly researched article. Although strongly written, I am impressed by the passion and sincerity which comes through. I also know Dr Nathan reasonably well. He is a senior journalist and knows his craft well. What i see here is a perception vs reality gap which is present largely across various stakeholders, and whiich has fed on itself over the years and making people take sides. All of us are responsible for that This letter should be taken as the first step to improve the communication and get more rational perspectives into play. Only then can we have the true worth of a financial advisor come through. At the end of the day, at a 14% financial literacy level in the country, it is incumbent on all of us to ensure that the investors interests come before ours, whether it is the mfr, dist or the media Thanks Wealth Forum, for sparking off this dialogue.

His only agenda seems to be in limelight all the time. Ignoring would have been the best option. But this attention seeker continues to write Biased One Sided story painting all IFAs as cheats & blood sucking devils. He doesnt hesitate to call us Scamsters too! Nathan has the power & resources to influence the mass and he would be appreciated if he uses the same to help investors rather than calling Distributors names and painting a BLACK picture. Its about time that SEBI starts looking at regulating these kind of Half Baked Experts who only revel in writing Headline Grabbing Factually Incorrect & insensitive Articles

You have disclosed facts Mr. Bond, looks like now Nathan will be Angrey Bird & will Vanish soon :) SEBI/amfi/AMC thinks it is like initial exercise done by IFA - farmers, diged farm -clients, saw the seeds- given knowledge, started growing-coming out of grounds, & when rainy season came given needed water to plants -client & protected from insects - market volatility but when it started riping gain/fruits - introduction of direct plan. & to eat out ready meals now want to kick out/make them commit suicide for distributors -farmers, they introduced disclosure of the remuneration & other various things & working style of farmers - Ifa in the name of compliances. Since now the investors are informed educated & started experiencing taste of food/investments returns, it is now become easy for regulators & AMCs to take out easily big share of the cake. But Distributors will not give up & will show their unity soon.

Finally someone has spoken up against N Nathan. He has been trying to continuously spread misinformation and is using every regulation to paint IFAs with a wrong brush. I wonder what his credentials are, and how much work he has done in actually helping and hand holding investors. Is it true, he was with Principal Retirement Advisors? If he was, then that was the best platform for him to do what he likes, advise for a fee. Why did he leave that and instead become a journalist? Some questions even he needs to answer! Thanks Mr Jhaveri, good article and great work in representing the industry!

WHEN IFA IS TO UNDERGO AMFI CONDUCTED EXAM TO PROMOTE MUTUAL FUND TO HIS CLIENTS MEANS AMFI EXPECTS IFA IS SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND VARIOUS TYPE OF ASSET CLASS TO DIFFERENT TYPE OF INVESTORS. HERE THE INVESTOR CAN CHOOSE DIRECT PLAN IN THE SAME FOLIO OR NEW FOLIO TO INVEST . I AM SURPRISED WHETHER AMFI KNOWS HE OR SHE IS AWARE OF THE SCHEME MERITS AND DEMERITS? ITS JUST LIKE THE PATIENT TAKING MEDICINES WITHOUT DOCTOR PRESCRIPTION. SELF MEDICATION ALWAYS DANGER AND DIRECT PLAN IS MORE DANGER

Editor of ET should look into the matter raised by you with open and unbiased mind. We distributors have done enormous efforts and one of the major stake holder of MF industry. Mr Nathan should appreciate the efforts of distributors who is giving every thing to MF since 1964. Thank you Mr Bond once again. Can I expect AMCs to comment here in our support ?

Very well replied sir. ET should b brave enough to publish your letter also for this to be really effective. The guy should be in our shoes to really know the pains we take to convince a customer. Also to blatantly say that the industry will survive without us is callous on their part. It would take years for the industry to recover and a lot of financial wealth of the customers would be destroyed. They are totally ignoring the human psychology . A single bad experience can put off the investors and bring back to fixed income. Who will hand hold. The AMCs will only showcase their products. The direct customer will also lose interest in the long run to manage his portfolio..

Each and every Journalist must certify the "NISM-Series V-B: Mutual Fund Foundation Certification Examination" module - later allow them to write article related on Mutual Fund. 2. Compulsory Awareness program to - Chartered Accountants / Tax Consultants / Senior citizens / Advocates - at all places. The above will give the know-how about the importance of Advisor.

News papers have a great role in shaping the minds of a nation. Pen is mightier than sword. If the media is having a flaw then the people in the country is flawed. We , as citizens of India request the great ETs authorities to please make sure to post somebody who has a standard knowledge on MFs & finance to write MF related articles. Its nice to give the journalists a directive that dont comment on something which they are not aware. Im sure ET will surely get wonderful articles from MF advisors , on Mutual Funds if ET like to publish.Thank you, Mr Sunil Jhaveri for mentioning these actual facts. Its not only his views but the letter is written on behalf of the whole IFA community in the country.

Very nice comments by Mr.Sunil. I also wish to add that these reporters are also advising their readers based on market movements. For ex, when markets touched 30000, they wrote that MIP is the best product, and when markets touched 23000 they wrote that capital protection funds are the best. They do have not any rights to write this. The investors have their advisers who do asset allocation ,review and rebalancing the portfolios.When they read such misguided articles, they get misguided.

Your effort is highly appreciated Mr. Jhaveri. Very well replied. It is unfortunate that there is no regulation on media regarding the quality of content they create on just any and every topic. You hardly get a correct, factual and informative view on any matter. Most of the journalists come into profession just because they can write, and not because they have skills to interpret their domain. Time and again, so many industrialists and sportspersons have urged the media to highlight more positive stories than negative views. But there is no change as Negative gets more publicity than Positive.
