Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs) in India are regulated primarily by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
Over the years, MFDs have gained strong popularity for their “one-stop-shop” services related to mutual fund investments.
However, with the introduction of the Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) framework, applicants overlook a crucial distinction: MFDs are not permitted to offer detailed investment advice or provide comprehensive financial planning. Their role is limited to execution and distribution, while RIAs are authorized to offer fee-based, customized advisory services.
Choosing MFD route over the RIA route ultimately depends on the level of advisory responsibility you intend to undertake.
We support you throughout the application and with ensuring ongoing compliance with AMFI guidelines.
