One of the X users wrote, “Absolutely yes. Most of the investors need guidance and, unfortunately r made to believe otherwise by a set of influencers. Many DIY investors begin with the enthusiasm but do not persist. Most often than not they get caught unawares during market volatility. No wonder 81 per cent of SIP AUM is still in regular plans. AMFI had done lot of outreach to popularise MF sahi hi and invest in direct plans. Why the hesitation to push ‘Advisor hi to mumkin hi’ kind of a campaign. Guided investing is the need of the hour. Investors wdnt mind 0.5/0.75 per cent additional TER when the outcomes r significant.”

“The way MF are operating nowadays are nothing but eyewash… in the era when traders are minting bare minimum 50 per cent YoY profit by taking very conservative and precautionary steps, MFs are offering 25% -30 per cent returns to its customers? The lack of transparency is what making many business to jump into this business. No wonder they never tell where all your money was invested!!” added another user.
