I agree, Neither I use Agents, They are just bunch of cheeters, They suggest mostly wrong fund for Nowise investors and ask them to go for funds, which has yearly commitment(like every year invest 10K or 25K) so that they earn good money. They really dont care abt ur risk taking ability.
But What I tell here, is Investing using Net(dmat account or bank account) so that you can really track it on net and sell/accumulte whenever you need from your desk.
Just think of this case, I bought a MF today for 25K from some AMC and their office is in Bangalore. After 3 year I need money, But after 3 years
Case 1:
I am in Chennai, And Petrol cost may be 300 and to reach The AMC office it may even cost me 300(which is entry load today)
Case 2:
I am in US, UK or some foreign country, It is even more difficult to get my money in direct mode(i am not sure, IF there is any easy way to do it)
So , I always prefer to use Internet enabled transaction rather than Direct. But for sure, I may get some concept wrong(as this is not advertise as many agent loose commision)
My question is, Is there any way, where I can still Invest directly without entry or exit load, But invest through Internet, Possible?
