Mutual Fund Distributor Commission Structure
Distributor income in India runs entirely on a trail-commission model. Here is how it works and what typically influences the payout.
- Trail commission only: SEBI banned upfront commission in October 2018, so trail commission is now the primary and ongoing way distributors earn.
- Paid by the AMC, not the investor: Commission is built into the scheme's Regular Plan expense ratio and paid out by the AMC every month directly to the distributor.
- Based on live AUM: Trail commission is calculated on the current market value of a client's holding, not the original invested amount, so it moves with markets and fresh investments.
- Continues only while invested: Earnings keep flowing only as long as the client stays invested, which keeps distributor and investor interests aligned toward long-term holding.
- Additional incentives: Distributors bringing in new investors from smaller B-30 towns, or new women investors, may be eligible for extra incentive payouts as per applicable SEBI/AMFI norms and AMC policy.
| Fund Category | Indicative Annual Trail Range |
|---|---|
| Equity Funds | 0.20% – 1.00% p.a. |
| Debt Funds | 0.20% – 0.80% p.a. |
| Liquid / Index Funds | 0.05% – 0.25% p.a. |
Actual rates vary by AMC, scheme category and slab, and are subject to change as per SEBI/AMFI guidelines. This is indicative information only.
