Types of Mutual Funds in India?

All mutual funds in India, come with two types of investment category, one is regular and the other is the Direct Plan.  In the regular plan, you are knowingly or unknowingly paying a certain percentage of commission or charges to broker and these types of charges are generally not revealed to the investors. If you read the Mutual fund offer documents carefully, then you will find the percentage of brokerage fee your AMC is paying to your broker or adviser. Though this commission rate is very small (1-2.5%), but it will really matter, if your investment is for the long term.

The other type of Mutual Fund investment is Direct. In this type, you are directly investing your money to any particular AMC and your investment is brokerage free.
