What is AMC?
Asset Management Company — the entity that manages a mutual fund scheme and pays trail to distributors.
Understanding AMC
An AMC is the company that manages a mutual fund scheme. It is responsible for investing the pooled money of investors according to the scheme's stated objective, employing fund managers, and ensuring regulatory compliance. In India, AMCs are registered with SEBI.
Well-known AMCs in India include HDFC AMC, SBI Funds Management, ICICI Prudential AMC, Axis AMC, Mirae Asset, and others. Each AMC offers multiple schemes — equity, debt, hybrid, liquid — across different categories.
For distributors, the AMC is the entity that pays trail commission on Regular plan investments. The commission rate is agreed upon between the AMC and the distributor (typically subject to AMFI guidelines). Managing relationships and commission agreements with multiple AMCs is a core operational requirement for large distributors.
“For Indian IFAs, a clear understanding of amcis essential to managing a compliant and profitable advisory practice.”
