Is a Mutual Fund Direct Plan Always Beneficial?

Updated on May 18, 2026 , 5571 views

Every Mutual Fund scheme which the Asset Management Company (AMC) offers has two variants Mutual Fund Direct Plan and Mutual Fund Regular Plan. Both these plans are identical in terms of Asset Under Management (AUM), Portfolio composition, and even the fund managers. However, the key factor that differentiates both these plans are expense ratio wherein; a Mutual Fund Direct Plan’s expense ratio is less as compared to a regular plan. As a consequence, the direct plan’s profit percentage is higher. However, as it is said that, looks are deceptive similarly; do you think that; always Mutual Fund Direct Plan is beneficial? So, let us look through this article which plan is actually beneficial. Our example below is using real-life data, actual costs, expense ratios, and an actual investment. The analysis does show that regular plans are better than direct, however, what we would like to say is that while the difference in costs is minimal in terms of expense ratios, a good financial planner giving good service over a long period will make this difference look meaningless. Additionally, good fund selection over the years giving you an additional 0.5 % or even 1 % p.a. will overshadow the extra expense one pays in the regular plan.

What is a Mutual Fund Direct Plan?

Mutual Fund Direct Plan is sold by Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) apart from the Mutual Fund company. As mentioned earlier, The expense ratio of Mutual Fund Direct Plan is lower in comparison to regular plans

due to which these funds are able to earn more profits which are reflected by a slightly higher NAV in comparison to regular plans. In Mutual Fund Direct Plans, the AMC does not pay any commission to the investors.

What is a Regular Plan?

A regular plan of a Mutual Fund is the normal Mutual Fund scheme that you buy from an intermediary such as a broker, financial advisor, distributor etc. In the regular plan, the asset management company pays commission to these intermediaries for selling their schemes which are again added as an expense for managing the scheme. As a consequence, the regular Mutual Fund plans have slightly higher expense ratios than the direct ones.

Mutual Fund Investment: Whether Mutual Fund Direct Plan is Better or Not?

Whenever we talk about investments, one should understand that Returns is an outcome of cost which means; higher the cost lower the returns and vice versa. Also, people should understand that Nothing is available for free. Therefore, with the help of the following points, let us understand how regular plans become beneficial than Mutual Fund direct plans.

A number of people always invest in Mutual Funds through some or other intermediary. People Investing through RIAs in Mutual Funds need to pay fees to them. This fee is to be paid even if people do not transact in Mutual Funds through them, this is more like an annual fee. This fees can be paid either monthly, annually, transaction-based fees, and so on. Therefore, due to these fees charged the investors might end up with a lower amount of profit as these expenses eat away a pie’s share of the earnings.

So, let us understand this concept with the help of an example:

Illustration:

Assume, an individual wants to INR 1,00,000 rupees in DSP BlackRock Opportunities fund. She as an option to invest either in a direct plan through an RIA or regular plan through a distributor. The average past three year returns of this scheme are 17.90% p.a. for the direct plan and 16.93% p.a. for a regular plan as on September 13, 2017. Here, the individual has shortlisted two RIAs A and B and one online portal for investment. Assume, RIA A charges an annual fee of INR 2,000 while RIA B charges an annual fee of INR 1,200. Individuals need to pay this fee amount to the RIA on an upfront basis. On the other hand, the online mutual fund distributor does not charge any fees. So, let us calculate and check which channel of investment is better for investors.

The analysis of these plans is shown in the table given below.

DSP BlackRock Opportunities Fund Mutual Fund Direct Plan RIA A Mutual Fund Direct Plan RIA B Mutual Fund Regular Plan Distributor
Initial Investment Amount (A) 1,00,000 1,00,000 1,00,000
Less: Annual Fees for Year 1 (B) 2,000 1,200 0
Net Amount after fees in Year 1 (C) (A-B) 98,000 98,800 1,00,000
Returns on Net Amount (D) (17.90%)# for direct plan & (16.93%)# for regular plan 17,542 17,685 16,930
Total Amount at the end of Year 1 (C+D) (E) 1,15,542 1,16,485 1,16,930
Less: Annual Fees for Year 2 (F) 2,000 1,200 0
Net Amount after fees in Year 2 (G) (E-F) 1,13,542 1,15,285 1,16,930
Returns on Net Amount (D) (17.90%)# for direct plan & (16.93%)# for regular plan 20,324 20,636 19,797
Total Amount at the end of Year 2 (I) (G+H) 1,33,866 1,35,921 1,36,727
Less: Annual Fees for Year 3 (J) 2,000 1,200 0
Net Amount after fees in Year 2 (K) (I-J) 1,31,866 1,34,721 1,36,727
Returns on Net Amount (D) (17.90%)# for direct plan & (16.93%)# for regular plan 23,604 24,116 23,148
Total Amount at the end of Year 3 (M) (K+L) 1,55,470 1,58,837 1,59,875

#as of 13th Sept'17. Thus, from the above table we can conclude that; by investing in Regular Plan people can earn more as compared to Direct Plan.

Why Choose Mutual Fund Regular Plan Over Mutual Fund Direct Plan?

There are many other reasons as to why people can choose regular Mutual Fund as compared to direct ones. Some of them include a separate registration process for each fund house, self-rebalancing of the portfolio, self-analysis of the schemes, and so on. So, let us look why choosing regular Mutual Fund through distributors becomes beneficial as compared to direct plans.

Number of Schemes Under One Umbrella

You decide to invest in five different direct plans that you scouted and are suitable for your investment profile. Therefore, you need to visit those five different fund house websites and invest in the Mutual Fund scheme. You will then have to keep a track of each investment individually and store their details separately. Over the period of time, as the number of investments will grow, so will the records and will only add to the hassle. Therefore, to avoid such hassles, it would be easy to invest through a Mutual Fund distributor wherein; in one platform you can find a number of schemes which you can choose as per your requirements.

Online Mutual Fund Regular Plan Investment

With the advancements in the technology, people can invest in Mutual Fund Online from anywhere and at any time. In addition, they can invest in various schemes as per their convenience. Through online mode, people can invest and redeem their money in simple steps, check the detailed analysis of each scheme offered by various fund houses, keep a track of their portfolio, and so on.

Now, as we move towards the end, let us answer one important question, that is, Which Mutual Fund Plan is better? To answer this, it can be said that it is not the plan which is correct instead choosing the correct advisor.While the example above shows regular plans being more beneficial than direct plans, our take is that one needs to partner with the right financial planner to make sure that in the long run the investor benefits. A prudent advisor will guide the investors in an effective manner so that the investors earn maximum amount on their investment. In addition, he/she will also ensure that the investment paves way for wealth creation.
