Expense Ratios Direct
Direct mutual fund plans have a lower expense ratio compared to regular plans because they do not include distributor or advisor commissions. Investors buy directly from the fund house, eliminating intermediary costs. This reduced expense translates into a smaller deduction from the fund’s assets, allowing a greater portion of returns to stay invested. Over the long term, the cost difference can significantly enhance overall growth. Direct plans are ideal for investors who are confident in their financial knowledge or prefer managing their investments independently without paying for advisory services. Lower expense ratios make these plans more cost-efficient.
