What is a Mutual Fund Distributor?
A Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD) is a certified professional who helps investors choose and invest in mutual fund schemes that match their goals.
To work as a distributor in India, one needs to:
- Clear the NISM Series V-A Mutual Fund Distributor Exam, and
- Obtain an AMFI Registration Number (ARN) issued by the Association of Mutual Funds in India.
Once certified, MFDs can onboard clients, recommend suitable schemes, and earn commissions on the investments made through them.
