What is CAMS?

Quick Answer

Computer Age Management Services — one of India's two main RTAs processing MF transactions.

Understanding CAMS

CAMS is one of India's two major Registrar and Transfer Agents (RTAs) for mutual funds, processing transactions for approximately 70% of the industry's AUM. It handles purchase, redemption, switch, and SIP transactions for a large number of AMCs.

For distributors, CAMS is a critical data source. It provides consolidated commission statements, folio-level transaction history, and AUM data for all AMCs it services. CAMS also operates a password-protected portal where distributors can access their commission data.

CAMS processes commission payments from AMCs to distributors — trail and upfront commissions are calculated, aggregated, and credited through the CAMS system. Reconciling CAMS commission statements against actual receipts is a core function of MF brokerage software like Wealth Track Auto.

“For Indian IFAs, a clear understanding of camsis essential to managing a compliant and profitable advisory practice.”
