Let's begin with the cost involved in Mutual Fund investments and how they impact your returns.
[32]
When you invest in a Mutual Fund scheme, the fund house charges you an annual fee for managing your money.
[39]
This annual fee, known as the Expense ratio, covers all the expenses including management
[43]
fees and operating expenses of the fund.
[47]
The expense ratio is a small part of your total investment value.
[51]
This is annually pre-defined Percentage.
[55]
The Mutual fund company levies this expense ratio on your daily investment value and collects
[61]
fees from it daily.
[63]
For example, The expense ratio is 2% of any scheme.
[68]
And 0.05% of the investment value is charged as fee daily.
[74]
Means if your investment value is ₹ 1000  then you will pay 5 paise daily as a fee.
[79]
Therefore, the Mutual Fund scheme or a plan with a lower-Expense ratio will always be
[84]
beneficial to an investor, as the Mutual Fund company will take less money from the returns generated.
[90]
With this in mind, let us now come to the difference between Direct and Regular Plans.
[94]
In Regular Plans, you invest through an intermediary like a financial advisor or your bank relationship manager.
[101]
Mutual Fund companies have to pay agents commission till the time you stay invested.
[107]
This becomes an additional cost for Mutual Fund houses and therefore they charge a higher
[112]
expense ratio and you get lower returns.
[116]
On the other hand, you purchase Direct Plans directly from the Mutual Fund company.
[120]
Since there is no broker involved, no commission needs to be paid, and that means lower-Expense
[127]
ratio and higher returns.
[129]
Although the difference between the Expense ratio of Direct and Regular Plans is around 1 %,
[134]
this can make a big difference in your total corpus.
[138]
To understand it better, let’s take an example.
[141]
Just think that Akash and Deepak invested ₹7200 monthly SIP in an equity scheme
[148]
Akash chose Regular plan and Deepak chose Direct Plan
[152]
If these Mutual funds scheme gives better returns in 25 years, then after 25 years,
[157]
Deepak’s total investment value will be Rs.1.45 crore.
[161]
But as per this calculation, Akash’s investment value will be just Rs.1.20 Crore.
[168]
Around 25 lakh difference.
[171]
Why?
[172]
Because Akash’s invested in Regular plan and because of this he has to give more expenses
[178]
ratio in order to pay his agent the commission Do you want to know how this small expense
[183]
ratio became 25 lakhs…come let’s see…This small expense ratio becomes huge because this
[189]
is an amount levied a percentage of the investment value
[194]
As the years' pass, the commissions increase, from the 21st year the commission that the
[201]
agent receives will be more than the monthly SIP of Akash
[204]
During these 25 years, Deepak’s investment will be more than Akash.
[210]
And this greater Investment value will keep giving better returns.
[213]
So, if you can get higher returns by investing in direct plans why settle for less?
