When it is difficult for us to find out a suitable scheme for a genuine client even after with a 15+ years of working experience in MF industry, how a young chap who is well conversant in net purchasing can select a really rewarding scheme on the basis of tips on TV / magazines, newspapers and words displayed on AMCs sites will drive him / her into a selection of right scheme is very much doubtful? I have been reading comments on snapdeal, amazon, flipcart etc. which do reflect their sentiments after making a purchase on net and is full of frustration, anger.

Direct plans are no worry! All these stats are mere hypothetical.Had that been the case , the AMCs might have closed the regular plan by now. Its all wishful thinking that , people will flock the mobile/internet platforms for direct investments and that the site will break down!

The survey is indeed on the dot. There is no doubt that business in India will grow and thereby the Stock market and various other instruments. However if the income of IFAs will decline the participation of people will remain low. The IFAs should have enough income to provide service even when no fresh business available, have money for phone call to solicit business and savings for old age. The present ruling of 0.7% commission is not at all near any of this. So widespread MF participation is a far sight.

Agree with Nalli Surendra. Time and again I have written that while SEBI is taking tough stand against mis-selling etc. it must ensure that the Distributors too need to make money. The common man and woman must be made aware of the REWARDs of investing Long Term and Not just the Risk.

Indians have not taken equity as an asset class seriously; So, regulator has to look at incentivising the industry to attain the penetration levels. Direct Class-Many a times customers mis-use the same to their advantage; Not to mean Direct option shouldnt be there. India has not yet grown to the extent of paying for advise, so go slow. In western economies, in some cases, the distributor is paid as high as 5%; so to say that taking a leaf from west/developed world is not the right approach. Rationalise the commission structure or make it absolutely uniform across all financial products. Keep the threshold education for becoming IFA a tad higher than what it is today. Ban Banks from selling third party products, as they are the biggest mis-sellers
