    Greed and fear makes investor loose their money. Chasing Performance is dangerous. Most of the investors who redeemed recently have invested without a proper advise and most of them are direct. They just wanted to make money. There is a thick line between making money and creating wealth. Those who want to make money, will redeem when they see negative return in their portfolio. Those who wants to create wealth, focus on their goals and follow asset allocation. At present, it is easy to invest and easy to redeem. Just couple of clicks, portfolio finished! Hand holding of advisors helps investors to navigate during market cycles. We may see more volatility in coming months. Advisors role is important during these period.

    Side effects of direct plans. But AMFI and SEBI are more keen on direct plans still(which can be seen by recent reduction in TER being passed on completely onto distributors). This means that direct plans are failure and should be stopped completely. This also proves that SEBI hands in gloves with AMFI is just meant to increase profits for AMCs and not to safeguard investors at all.
