    Majority of financial advisors said that they have seen a major setback in their business due to TER cut and rationalisation in commission.

    Post rationalization in TER, many IFAs claim that while they get close to 80 bps trail commission on assets mobilized after 2015, they get between 15 and 30 bps on assets built before 2015.

    ‘How was 2019 for your business?’ asked a poll run on Cafemutual.com.

    Close to 2120 IFAs participated in the opinion poll. Of these IFAs, 54% or 1145 IFAs said that they saw a decline in their business growth.

    However, 615 IFAs or 29% of the total respondents said that despite all the noise, they witnessed a growth in their business.

    Just 360 or 17% distributors feel that there was no impact of any event of 2019 in their business.

    Here is the snapshot of the opinion poll result.

    I am sure IFAs who are saying they saw growth are talking about their AUM growth and not their income because what has happened is even after growing AUM to 3 times the income has remained what it was before 4 years. So 4 precious years of our lives are wasted. So we are working and growing our AUM just to save our income and not grow it. This should apply to the regulator staff first. They should set an example by reducing their salaries because in fact their salaries are going from tax payer's pockets and it is not even justified because are not doing anything meaning they only wake up after everything wrong has happened or may be they are aware and let the fraud happen and then to show that they are vigilant and strict show that they have taken action against the fraudster. Also they never go on ground to check the reality but they go to foreign countries using tax payor money and just brimg the policies regardless of the difference in the situations, demographics and literacy levels. Or may be the foreigners are influencing them to do these things because they want to enter and before that they want competition to be eliminated which the regulator is helping them with. There real missellers(banks) are just ignored by the regulator and they only are helping C's to maximise profits at the cost of crores of investors ( they are supposed to safeguard in the first place).

    As an investor I am pissed off at SEBI... My agent told me for years SEBI has been only after their brokerages and he cannot survive on this petty income... And forced to MIS-SELL insurance as investment products... He says SEBI for years only looking at IFA commissions instead of monitoring fraud companies and rating agencies... And turning blind eye to Insurance which is sold as investment today.... SEBI sudden decision on Fund classification has created havoc.. And is contemplating class action suite against SEBI.
