ಅಸೆಟ್ ಮ್ಯಾನೇಜ್‌ಮೆಂಟ್ ಕಂಪನಿಯ (AMC) ಸತ್ಯತೆಯನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ದೃಢೀಕರಿಸುವುದು

When investing in mutual funds, it’s crucial to ensure that the Asset Management Company (AMC) handling your money is legitimate and trustworthy. With so many frauds out there, especially in India, here’s how you can verify an AMC’s credentials:

Check SEBI and AMFI Registration: In India, all legitimate AMCs must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and AMFI. You can visit the official website to check if the AMC is listed.

Here's a checklist you can use to verify if an AMC is registered by SEBI in India:

Visit SEBI’s Website - You can visit the SEBI website and search for the AMC to verify its credentials and ensure it is registered and compliant with regulatory standards.                   

You can search for the AMC’s name or registration number on the AMFI website.

Cross-Check with AMFI - Use AMFI’s website to verify whether the mutual fund company is a member in good standing. Only registered AMCs are listed here.

Verify Company’s Physical Address and Contact Information - A legitimate AMC will have a verifiable office address, a working customer care number, and an official email domain (e.g., xyzamc.com). Cross-check these details on the company's official website and avoid transacting with companies that provide vague or unverifiable contact information.

Check Online Reviews & Complaints: Visit financial forums, websites, and customer review platforms to see what other investors are saying. Genuine AMCs have a strong online presence and positive feedback from investors.

By verifying these details, you can confidently invest your hard-earned money in trusted mutual funds. Always be cautious and double-check the AMC’s credentials before making any investments.
