When we started the discount brokerage (flat fee per trade) model in India in 2010, we decided to charge the same fee regardless of trade size. The logic was simple: if the effort to execute a trade is the same, why should customers pay differently? We applied the same logic to mutual funds. We didn't launch MFs until we could sell exclusively direct plans.
You can't call yourself a discount or a low-cost broker if you charge a percentage fee on transactions, because there's no incremental effort in executing a larger order. This logic has informed all our product and pricing decisions from day one.
Anyway, @CoinByZerodha today is the largest direct mutual funds platform in India, with nearly ₹1.6 lakh crores in direct MF AUM, and all our customers have saved thousands of crores in commissions. Direct mutual funds are a no-brainer if you're a DIY investor.
It's interesting that most of the direct MF platforms that started when we launched Coin have either disappeared or pivoted to something else. The few remaining platforms are also rethinking their choice of offering direct plans. However, at Zerodha, we will continue to offer direct mutual funds for free.
A lot of investors still don't know the difference between direct and regular plans. If you are investing in mutual funds, it's worth checking if your investments are in regular or direct plans. If you are in regular plans and want to switch to direct, we can help.
@kendheswapnil What's the problem here it looks conservative to me 1-2 years of money in debt and 2-4 in hybrid is more than enough
Remaining all should be in equity that too small cap funds
@ravihanda Thanks for all the wonderful videos I think I mentioned before also 20X video which you published 2-3 months back was an eye opener and relieved lots of unnecessary stress
Waiting for 3rd part and more videos ,
@ravihanda Also sir I was just checking the BITs pilani fees it's coming around 35.5 lakhs ( for 4years considering 5.5% inflation mentioned in official fees broucher) , yes inflation wise your numbers are right it's mostly 5 to 6 %
@ravihanda I mean the 7 crore is a life time spending required is today's value right ?( assuming 0 inflation and 0 returns ) so education amount should be there for today's value and it becomes 7.5 crore why 50lacs is distributed for 40 years ( 1.25 lacs per year ) not clear
Pls answer
@ravihanda Wonderful Video sir ,
It makes life so easy & less stressfull to see the realistic & data backed numbers rather than a generalise numbers sir but one thing I did not understood that why education cost is not a part of 7cr say suppose I want to retire today I need 7.5 crore right
