I am investing in mutual funds via FUNDSINDIA since 2016 through SIP (currently at 35000 pm). Their app shows invested value as 18,37,001/- and current value as 27,99,510/- with an annualised return as 19.9%. Is the return really 19.9%? is it good? Recently only i came to know they provide only regular growth funds and no direct funds, so how much i am loosing in that, Is it advisable that i take out all my money from them and invest directly through mutual funds website? current allocation is : 360 one quant fund reg(g) : 7000 icici pru value discovery fund(g): 7500 Parag parikh flexi cap fund reg(g): 5000 Mirae asset aggressive hybrid fund reg(g): 2500 axis midcap fund: reg(g): 3000 Kotak small cap fund(g): 5000 mirae asset large cap fund reg(g): 5000 Please advice comprehensibly as i need to take decision if i need to switch
Ans: Hello;

Almost 20% annualized return is a very good performance.

Do you think you could have managed this on your own without help from the MFD website?

Answer this question with full honesty to yourself because a YES means you may invest in direct plans henceforth and move your investments gradually to the direct platform to optimise LTCG impact.

However if the answer is NO then you agree that the MFD platform has added value by guiding and helping you generate such excellent returns.

Typically there is a difference in Total Expense Ratio(TER) applicable for Direct and Regular plan options.

In Direct plans it's DIY(Do It Yourself) hence return maybe slightly higher compared to regular plans but your distributor guides you to suitable schemes which are apt for your risk appetite, financial profile, asset allocation and investment horizon.

But keep a practice of reviewing your fund performance vis-a-vis category average, benchmark and risk adjusted returns annually.

Also the asset allocation needs to be adjusted to suit your risk profile over a span of period.

Happy Investing;

Sir I was absent in all my class 12th boards and practical in the year 2023-24 due to a medical illness, now I'm appearing as a regular candidate in the year 2024-25 boards. Will I be eligible for jee advanced 2025 and 2026 as in jee advanced attempt counts start from first appearance in class 12th, will they consider my board 2024 absent as an attempt? Will I be eligible for jee advanced 2025 and 2026? Specifically 2026
Ans: Heera, The eligibility for JEE Advanced 2025 and 2026 relies on how the test authorities see your situation about your attempts in the Class 12 board exams. Candidates can try JEE Advanced two times in successive years maximum. The first year a candidate shows up for the complete set of tests appears in Class 12. That year is not regarded as an attempt or appearance if you missed all Class 12 board tests for medical reasons and did not receive a result. Your legitimate first look will land around 2024–25. Get in touch with the JEE Advanced officials, show medical credentials, and offer paperwork proving your first honest attempt in Class 12 exams to confirm your eligibility. You will be qualify for JEE Advanced 2025 and 2026 if you re-registered for 2024–25 after missing the tests in 2023–24 for a legitimate medical reason.

Right now, only pay close attention to getting ready for the JEE/Other Engineering Entrance Exam.

Value Addition Suggestion: Instead of depending just on JEE, have Plan B and Plan C, appearing for 5-7 Entrance Exams.

All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
