What is AMFI MFD Karein Shuru Campaign?

Table of Contents

MFD Karein Shuru Campaign – Mutual Funds Distributors (MFDs) play an important role in ensuring that mutual funds investors select the right scheme and continue to invest as per their financial goal to achieve the objective. However, the total number of MFDs in India is just about 1,00,000, which is very less. 

Current mutual funds investor base is about 3 crore and this investor base is expected to grow to 10 crores in next 7-8 years. It is estimated that about 5,00,000 MFDs will be required to cater to this growing investor base.

Realizing this gap, AMFI has launched a campaign to increase the base of mutual funds distributors with the help of industry players including asset management companies. This campaign has been titled as “MFD Karein Shuru”.
