I had written an article on this long long ago for www.moneycontrol.com

one fine day I chatted with Pattu…and this is another story saying similar things…

Never Hold Mutual Fund Units in Demat Form!

  1. What is holding MF in delay form means ?
    For someone born tomorrow he would have only seen icicidirect or sbismart interface for all equity related txn.

  2. Hi Subra,
    I have invested in a MF through my account in Sharekhan. Does the problems described in the above article applies to me? Request you to please suggest.

    Thanks

  3. The Whole concept of depository for stocks and MFs is a terribly executed idea…

    Holding stocks/MFs in custody is a backoffice operation and the end customer should not be involved in this other than assurance.

    Buying and selling stocks should be simple..you only need 3 parties…buyer, seller and a platform/broker…everything else should happen behind the scenes.
