More bang for your buck with MoneyFront
Finally, there’s a start-up that promises to deliver more bang for your buck via investment in direct plans of mutual funds. Yes, MoneyFront, an online investment portal is conceived by three childhood friends and financial experts, Mohit Gang (ex-SVP, HSBC Bank), Anil Bang (Analyst, Marshall Wace) and Puneet Mehta (ex-Director, BOA-Merrill). MoneyFront enables investors to get more returns from their investments than ever before through simplified online investments via direct plan of mutual funds. Direct plans eliminate the middlemen – the distributors and agents – thus saving the percentage of distributor fees for the investors. This translates into a direct increase in returns up to 1.5% annually! A seemingly small number, it can actually be the difference between a good and a great life.Moneyfront: Making your money work smarter
