Funds
What is regular plan?
The version of a mutual fund bought through a distributor, with commission included.
Explained in more detail
It is the same underlying fund as the direct plan, but part of your money pays an ongoing commission to whoever sold it to you. That is reasonable if you receive real advice and poor value if you do not.
An example
For instanceOver 20 years, a 0.9% higher fee can consume a large share of your final amount.
Why this matters to you
You will meet this word in broker apps, company results and market news. Knowing what it means is not the goal on its own. The goal is being able to judge whether a number is good or bad for the investment you are actually holding.
On AlphaVik, any time regular plan appears in a view or a lesson, you can hover or tap the word and this explanation comes with it. You never have to leave the page to look something up.
