    Franklin Templeton MF to abolish exit load on switches to direct plans

    Source: Mint May 6, 2019

    One of India’s top 10 mutual funds in terms of assets under management (AUM), Franklin Templeton AMC has upended the industry by abolishing exit loads on investors switching from regular to direct plans of its open ended funds. The move, which will take effect from 9 May, 2019, is likely to encourage a shift in investor money from regular to direct plans. Switching one’s investment from regular to direct was till now partially impeded by exit load. Exit load is the charge levied on exiting the scheme in the initial years and is defined as a percentage of investment. It depends on how long the investor has held the scheme. The shorter the holding span, the more likely it is that exit load will be applicable.

    now new twist:- Regular to Direct no Exit load, What about these combinations :- Regular equity to Regular Liquid Fund (Abolish exit load here also), likewise Direct to Regular (Abolish exit load here also). Actually Franklin should Abolish EXIT Load Totally. (We may use it as opportunity to help clients Offload from their schemes and on-board to others). I strongly feel other AMCs will start following the suit. Distributor left with no options but to BUYCOTT Franklin as their policies are such that they wont need distributors help anymore. and they just want to convert all existing clients to direct mode which have been created by HARD WORKING Distributors and now AMC sees them as culprit, Recent results of HDFC AMC and Reliance MF Company shows that A Cut in Distributor commission is directly going to Profits of AMC. AMCs are hiring more employees to cater Direct clients (Employee cost showing increase), Officers @ SEBI can you gurantee here that cost saved out of distrutor cut in commission actually going to Customer's kitty or AMC Kitty.
