It will increase conflict of interest. Meaning MF “A” can use their own brokerage company A to buy/sell equity without any competitive brokerage cost as now user bears cost. Parent company of them, A benefits.

Time to look for funds with lower AMC – May be Quantum is the fund house of the future! They are bold enough to cap the AMC

A entry load of even 2.25% as in 2009 is a lot better than this i guess. This AMC charge will eat our money every year,entry load would have been one time loss.Why the hell are we paying service tax outside AMC charge..is this how you are going to develop MF industry..I should learn a lot and do direct stock picking

When the middlemen commissions were stopped by SEBI for investment into MFs, surprisingly AUMs have not gone up and to everyone shock they got dipped. Infact at this time, ULIPs premium collection amounts have gone up. Looks like without marketing even sane products fail in any field. With marketing people are buying colas, club memberships and what not.

Now biased articles pour in the media perpetrated by vested interests that inspite of raised charges, it is tremendously advantage for the customer on various fronts. The customer is the key stakeholder is long forgotten. I have no doubt that Indian market always behaves on contra mode.

that the real big players will play with the rules so that they can continue to get rent, just because they can manipulate the rules. Read the John Galt speech…

AMCs are charging exp ratios, so that they can manage the fund…they can pay to fund manager for beating the benchmark…..now if charges are increased it will eat up the returns also….according to letest SPIVA report almost 55% of the funds are underperforming the benchmark….u never know which fund will outperfom in future….not sure if investor shoud really pay higher charges…..
