Hi Guys,
I am planning to invest in Mutual Funds about 5000pm thru SIP. I am about to open a 3in1 Account with ICICI Direct.
I know that demat account is not required for Mutual Funds, and they can be brought direct from the Fund House. But I think having a Demat Account will help me keep all my MF in one place. Also I dont have any documentation in place which are required like KYC, HPIN (not sure) in place. So I guess the ICICIDirect rep can help me with it.
The thing which I didnt like is, they need me to maintain a Qty minimum balance of 5000 and they will be charging 450 as the maintenance charges from the second year.
Are there any other charges than mentioned above? Do you think its a good idea to invest thru ICICIDirect or Invest Directly.? Any other things I should keep in mind before starting with MF investment.?
