સીમિત સંખ્યામાં ચેનલો દ્વારા ડાયરેક્ટ ફંડ ઉપલબ્ધ છે. રોકાણકાર મુખ્યત્વે ફંડ હાઉસ દ્વારા જ રોકાણ કરી શકે છે, બહુ ઓછા તૃતીય પક્ષ સિક્યોરિટીઝ મધ્યસ્થીઓ, આરટીએ જેમ કેCAMS/કાર્વી, અને ફંડ હાઉસના અધિકૃત સ્થાનિક પ્રતિનિધિઓ. મોટે ભાગે, સીધા મ્યુચ્યુઅલ ફંડ રોકાણોમાં, નાarn (અરજીસંદર્ભ નંબર) રોકાણકારની અરજીમાં ટાંકવામાં આવે છે. તેથી, રોકાણકારોને ચૂકવવામાં આવતું કમિશન ઘણું ઓછું અથવા ક્યારેક શૂન્ય હોય છે. આ માટે ગ્રાહક સંપાદનનો ખર્ચ ઘટે છેAMC.

એક્સ્પેન્સ રેશિયો સિવાય, ડાયરેક્ટ પ્લાન પણ એવા હોય છે જ્યાં ફંડ હાઉસ ચાર્જ લેતું નથીવિતરક ખર્ચ/ટ્રાન્ઝેક્શન શુલ્ક/ટ્રાયલ ફી. નેટ એસેટ વેલ્યુ (નથી) મ્યુચ્યુઅલ ફંડ-ડાયરેક્ટ પ્લાન નિયમિત મ્યુચ્યુઅલ ફંડ પ્લાનની સરખામણીમાં વધારે હોઈ શકે છે.

ડાયરેક્ટ પ્લાનનો એક્સપેન્સ રેશિયો ઓછો હોવાથી, એવું કહેવાય છે કે રોકાણકારોને નિયમિત પ્લાનની સરખામણીમાં વધુ વળતર મળશે. ફંડ હાઉસ એક્સપેન્સ રેશિયોના આધારે લગભગ 0.5 ટકાથી 1.5 ટકાનું વળતર વધારે હશે. તેથી, આદર્શ રીતે, રોકાણકારો કે જેઓ ખર્ચ ગુણોત્તર ઘટાડીને તેમના વળતરમાં વધારો કરવા માગે છે તેઓ સીધા મ્યુચ્યુઅલ ફંડ યોજનાઓમાં રોકાણ કરી શકે છે.
