9 benefits of investing in Direct Plans via MoneyFront

When we are asked to pick between two options, swaying towards the side with more benefits is a common human tendency. Furthermore, when the choice is between money and more money the winning option is obvious. 

So, here’s listing down 9 benefits of investing via MoneyFront that will make us the obvious option. 

1. Earn more from investments

MoneyFront offers only direct plans, where no trail fee/commissions are charged. For example,if you invested Rs 10,000 monthly in Equity funds for 25 years assuming an average compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% you would earn 328 lakhs in 25 years in regular plans, whereas in direct plans you would earn 436 lakhs. A direct 108 lakhs difference in your returns.This difference is owing to the difference in expense ratios between regular and direct plans which varies from 0.7% to 1.25% in equity funds. To calculate the difference in earnings from direct v/s regular plans and work with your own return assumptions, you can use our saving meter tool.
