FAQs

What is the scope and opportunity of the Financial Product distribution (FPD) Business?

The Indian mutual fund industry is currently worth more than Rs. 55 lakh cr AUM as on 30th Apr’24. It is the fastest growing financial Industry with close to 20 % of Growth rate over the last 5 years. Out of 135 Crore Indians, only 3.25 crore individuals are currently investing in MF. That is less than 2% of our population. This shows high potential in the industry. Every month, around 8–10 lakh new investors join the mutual fund industry. PMS industry has an AUM of approximately INR 32 lakh Cr. including both equity and debt strategies, as of February 29th, 2024. AIF industry is currently worth close to INR 11 lakhs Cr. of AUM as on 31st Dec’23. P2P industry currently manages close to INR 8000 Cr. of AUM. Bonds (corporates) outstanding issuances on Mar’24 stands at INR 47.3 lakhs Cr. Despite the growth in MF investors, there is still a long way to go as 

1. We still have an under-penetrated mutual fund market as compared to the developed world - AUM to GDP Ratio - India - 12% Vs World Average - 63%. Penetration of other investment products and financial products is even lower. 

2. Low Competition : Only 1.26 lakh Mutual fund distributors Vs 20 lakh + Insurance advisors 

3. Over the next decade, about 100 Lac Cr. of AUM opportunity is expected. The huge gap between demand and supply creates great career opportunities for you.

How much does a Financial Product distributor (FPD) earn?

The essence of the financial products/investment products distribution business is the “recurring” or "trail commission." This commission is quite unique in nature and the payout here is done on a monthly/quarterly basis. 

The two biggest advantages of this commission are that, firstly, it's calculated on the market value of the investment and, secondly, one gets the commission as long as the client is holding onto his investment in the market. Another unique feature which sets it apart from other financial products is the Power of compounding, this factor helps in growing your earnings exponentially.


So, for an example, if you are managing client investments of around Rs. 10 Crore and trail rate is 0.60%, you get a monthly trail income of Rs. 50,000. This income will increase based on movement of stock market and new business brought by you.

LETS UNDERSTAND EARNING WITH EXAMPLE

YEAR    AUM GROWTH     TRAILCUMULATIVE INCOME
11,15,000805805
21,32,250 926 1731

104,04,556  2832 16,344
