Why Don’t You Need a Demat Account to Invest in Mutual Funds?

It is not necessary to have a Demat account for investing in mutual funds. The only mandatory requirement is to complete the KYC formalities. Once you register your KYC with AMC or designated intermediaries, you need not re-submit the documents for future investments. 

Ways to Invest in Mutual funds

There are many ways through which one can invest in mutual funds :

1. Broker – A broker provides a Demat account to trade on the stock exchange. If you wish to invest in multiple investment avenues like mutual funds, stocks, bonds, etc., it is advisable to have a Demat account to monitor all your investments in one place. Demat accounts charge annual maintenance fees and transaction fees which may vary for different brokers. 
3. Asset Management Company – One can directly invest in the mutual funds of the respective AMCs through their website. Here, the drawback is that you can invest in mutual funds only provided by that AMC and no other AMCs. This mode limits the investment option to invest in various other mutual funds offered by other AMCs, making it less advisable. 
4. Offline and online distributors – Offline distributors would provide you with acknowledging your investments through a physical format. As against this, online distributors offer a complete virtual experience of investing. All of the investment you undertake through them is curated in one place for a smooth and efficient user experience. 
5. By net banking – Some private banks offer their account holders to invest in mutual funds through their net banking accounts. If you’ve financed through a bank, then it would show in your net banking as well.
