Here I’m listing the top 3 best mutual funds apps in India that I have personally used and will continue to use for direct mutual fund investment. One of the most important criteria for selecting the best mutual funds apps for myself and my clients is safety and ease of operation.

1. myCAMS by CAMS (Computer Age Management Services)

CAMS is a mutual fund registrar responsible for your mutual fund unit holdings listed under the CAMS registrar. Therefore, completely safe.

Pros:

1. myCAMS app is among the top best mutual funds apps in India that help you invest in the direct mutual fund for multiple PAN, and it works based on email ID. So, if you and your partner use the same email ID at the time of investment, then both the holdings will reflect under the same login.
2. myCAMS app gives you clear stats on how much you invested and the value of your fund and its return in XIRR (Extended Internal Rate of Return).
3. myCAMS app gives you an option to transact- Purchase, additional purchase, SIP (Systematic Investment Plan), STP (Systematic Transfer Plan), SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan), Switch, SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) Pause.

Cons:

myCAMS app shows and gives the option to transact only in 17 funds that fall under CAMS, and they are:

2. KFinKart by Karvy

Like CAMS, Karvy is also the registrar of Mutual Fund in India and offers the KFinKart app to its investors, among the best mutual funds apps in India. Both of them are the leading registrar who covers 80% of the fund house in India. Karvy app is simple to use shows beautiful graphs of your holdings, cost of investment, current investment value, and appreciation in amount and percentage.

Pros:

1. Everything in CAMS
2. WhatsApp opt-in/out
3. Option to link family’s folio
4. Allow transaction in minor’s folio

Cons:

KFinKart shows and allows to transact in only 24 funds that fall under Karvy, and they are:

• – Axis Mutual Fund
• – Baroda Mutual Fund
• – BNP Paribas Mutual Fund

Pros:

1. All mutual funds (direct & regular) under one umbrella: Suppose you invest through a different distributor or even a direct mutual fund. In that case, once you open the MFU account, all the funds will automatically reflect here if the holding, tax status, nominee are the same.
2. You can map your folios to your goals and view your mutual fund portfolio goal-wise.
3. Raise complaints only which usually gets resolved within 24 hours.
4. Good customer care support

Cons:

1. Need a one-time effort for eCAN registration to open MF Utility account so that you can transact via the goMF app. Like CAMS and Karvy, goMF does not show the cost and return percentage but just the current value.
2. Can do Goal mapping folio-wise; I appreciated scheme-wise mapping.

Conclusion:

goMF solves the problem of logging into two different apps (myCAMS & KFinKart) by covering most of the fund house under them and automatically feating the data linked to the PAN.

Even though goMF has a few essential features needed to make it more user-friendly, I still prefer to use goMF as it helps me plan and link all the funds based on the goals for myself and my clients.
