Brokerage Disclosure in CAS

The brokerage paid to mutual fund distributors is mentioned in the Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) sent to investors. For the half-year ending in March or September, the CAS includes gross commissions paid by mutual funds and AMCs. This includes direct payments and benefits like gifts, rewards, trips, or event sponsorships.

Commission Calculations

Trail commissions are calculated daily based on the distributor’s assets under management (AUM) and paid monthly. These commissions come from the expense ratio, which is deducted daily. Investors don’t bear additional costs, as funds explicitly disclose the expense ratio. No hidden fees impact the Net Asset Value (NAV). Distributors earn commissions as long as the investor remains in the fund. Distributors pay 18% GST on the payouts they receive from mutual funds.

How is the trail commission calculated?

The trail commission is calculated using the following formula: Trail Commission = (Daily Product × Rate/100 × 1/365).

Example

The daily product is calculated by multiplying the balance units by the cumulative tentative NAV. Assume a Mutual Fund Distributor invests 10,000 units at an annual commission rate of 0.50%:

January (NAV = 10 for entire month): Commission = (10,000 × 10 × 0.50% × 31/365) = ₹42.46

February (NAV = 20 for entire month): Commission = (10,000 × 20 × 0.50% × 28/365) = ₹76.71

March (NAV = 5 for entire month): Commission = (10,000 × 5 × 0.50% × 31/365) = ₹21.23

The commission is directly linked to the NAV and the mutual fund’s performance. If the fund performs well, the NAV increases, leading to a higher commission. Poor performance reduces the commission.

Win-Win Structure

This structure ensures mutual benefit: if the investor earns, the MFD also benefits. The MFD’s earnings are linked to selecting and managing high-performing funds, aligning incentives with investor outcomes.

Even with the best fund, investor behavior may erode returns — Investment Returns vs Investor Returns > Behavior Gap.
