Distribution vs Advisory
Distributor or advisor? Here's the real difference.
Two paths, two ways of getting paid. Know exactly who you're working with.
The two paths
A distributor helps you select and invest in mutual funds and insurance, compensated through product commissions. A SEBI registered investment adviser, RIA, charges a direct fee and is regulated separately to give comprehensive financial advice.
Where we stand
SampadaSarathi operates as a distributor, ARN 357884. We bring you the discipline and structure of a full planning relationship, goal mapping, ongoing tracking, ARN backed transparency, without a separate advisory fee.
How to verify anyone in this space
Ask how they're paid. Commission means distributor. Direct fee, no commission, means RIA. Verify any ARN on AMFI's site, any RIA on SEBI's database.
