What is Best - WISE Account or 3-in-1 Demat Account

[kamleshgwalani]

Dear All,

I am new to investment, earlier had only invested in Mutual Funds.

Now planning to have icicidirect account as it is much easier for me to deal with it. Currently I am not helding any MF or Shares, just beginning again.

I came to know there is WISE account with icicidirect.com which is only for MF.

My question is, at moment I dont wanted to invest in Share or Primary market, I wanted to go for MF, but i might need to hold shares if i feel to invest in good companies, but may be at later stage. First to start with MF. what you advise shall i go for WISE or 3-in-1 account.

If I open WISE now and later 3-in-1 account will that be okay. Or shall I go directly for 3-in-1 account.
How much is the difference and what be requirement.

Please advice if you are have account with icicidirect

Thank you in advance for help

Kams

If you are sure that u wanna open an account with icici then i would suggest u to open a 3 in 1 acc....so that if u wanna invest in ipo's.....and trade in future, u dont have to go through the hassels again.

Why with ICICi ? Why not with HDFC or reliance ?

ICICI is the wrost service provider.
