// Frequently asked

Questions our clients actually ask.

Do I pay extra fees for investing through Arthum?

No. AMFI-registered mutual fund distributors are paid commission directly by the AMC out of the scheme's expense ratio. The expense ratio is the same whether you invest via a regular plan with a distributor or via a direct plan on your own. The difference: with us you also get research, planning and reviews.

Is Arthum AMFI registered?

Yes. Utkarsh Agrawal, the founder of Arthum Wealth Services, is an AMFI Registered Mutual Fund Distributor (ARN-360064).

What is the minimum investment to start?

You can start a SIP from as little as ₹500 per month. For lump-sum investing, most equity funds accept ₹5,000 minimum. We help you start with whatever amount you're comfortable with.

How do I onboard with Arthum?

Use the AssetPlus quick-start link for fully paperless onboarding, or fill our Google onboarding form. KYC with Aadhaar-linked PAN takes about 10 minutes.

Can I switch my existing mutual funds from another advisor?

Yes. You can switch the ARN (advisor code) on your existing folios to us through a simple change-of-broker process. Your units stay invested — only the servicing relationship changes.

How often will my portfolio be reviewed?

Quarterly portfolio reviews and one annual deep-dive. We also reach out proactively when market events (large drawdowns, rate changes, tax law changes) warrant a check-in.

Are mutual fund returns guaranteed?

No. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Please read all scheme related documents carefully before investing.

Do you sell insurance and NPS as well?

Yes. Arthum is empanelled with leading life and health insurance providers and helps clients with term insurance, health insurance and NPS — chosen on suitability, not commission.

What is a loan against mutual funds?

A credit facility where you pledge your mutual fund units and borrow against them at interest rates typically lower than personal loans. Your units stay invested and continue to compound. We help arrange digital sanction in 24–48 hours. Learn more.

Where is Arthum located?

We operate fully online and serve clients across India. Reach us at +91 95956 11222 or utkarsh.agrawal777@gmail.com.

How is Arthum different from a bank RM or a typical agent?

We don't have monthly sales targets to push specific products. Our approach is goal-first and product-second, with international equity research informing portfolio construction. You get a written plan, quarterly reviews, and one accountable advisor — not a rotating team of relationship managers.
