Mutual Funds (MF) are available to you through two schemes – Direct Plans and Regular Plans. Regular Plans, on the other hand, are sold through distributors and financial advisors and involve a commission. While regular plans are easily available both online and offline through financial advisors, direct plans can be purchased from the website or branch of AMCs. Direct plans score over regular plans almost on all counts. New and inexperienced investors, who are unsure about where to invest, may consider regular plans, even though they offer lower returns.
