Clear your NISM Series V-A exam, obtain your ARN, and launch with complete support from Dhan Saarthi — in your own name, earning your own trail. No prior mutual fund experience required.

You’re already in the room when they move money.

Your client just made the biggest financial decision of their life — and you’re the person they trusted to guide it. At that exact moment they’re deciding what to do with sale proceeds, how to invest alongside a new home loan, how to plan for a child’s education or retirement. Right now those decisions go elsewhere. As their Mutual Fund Distributor, they can go through you — and when the property market slows and deals dry up, your recurring trail income keeps paying.

The moment

A property transaction

Your client just moved a large sum. You’re standing right next to money in motion — no new lead required.

Market slows and deals dry up? Your trail income keeps paying.

Deploy sale proceeds

Today: often parked idle in a bank accountWith you: invested toward their goals

Invest alongside the home loan

Today: EMIs run, savings sit stillWith you: a SIP that builds wealth in parallel

Child’s education goal

Today: a worry with no planWith you: a goal-based SIP through you

Retirement corpus

Today: left for ‘later’With you: started now, compounding for years

You’re already doing most of the job.

Successful MFDs aren’t successful because they know every fund — they’re successful because clients trust them. You’ve spent years guiding people through the biggest financial decision of their lives, handling paperwork and earning referrals. Those are the hardest skills to learn. We’ll help you with the rest.

The biggest myth

Neither did thousands of successful MFDs before they started. Every experienced advisor began exactly where you are today.

The difference?They took the first step.

Your whole practice, in one platform.

An MFD guides clients toward suitable mutual funds for their goals and risk profile — no stock-picking, no market timing. Dhan Saarthi gives you everything to do it well. Pick any capability to see it live.

Why should my client pick a flexi cap fund over a large cap?
Saarthi AI

“A flexi cap fund lets the manager move across large, mid and small caps as opportunities shift — giving your client one diversified fund that adapts, instead of being locked to a single segment.”

Your book. Your number.

Every SIP you start can contribute to your recurring income for years. Instead of chasing the next sale, you build a book that compounds. Move the sliders to picture your own practice.

Becoming an MFD, explained simply.

The short, honest answers — no sales call required.

Can a real estate agent become a mutual fund distributor?

Yes, directly and in your own name. Real estate agents have no professional restriction on distributing mutual funds — you hold your own ARN and earn your own trail income. Just clear the NISM Series V-A certification and register.

Do I need to give up my real estate business?

No. Becoming a Mutual Fund Distributor is a second income that runs alongside your property business. In fact it is counter-cyclical — when deals slow down, your recurring trail income keeps paying.

Do I need a finance background?

No. You already guide clients through the biggest financial decision of their lives. You clear the NISM Series V-A: Mutual Fund Distributors Certification, and Dhan Saarthi supports the rest — product training, talking points, tools and onboarding.

How do I get my ARN?

Clear NISM Series V-A, then apply for an AMFI Registration Number (ARN) through AMFI/CAMS with your KYD and documents. Dhan Saarthi guides every step and handles the paperwork; the ARN is typically issued within a few working days.

What does it cost to start?

Dhan Saarthi is a regular mutual fund distributor, so it earns AMC commission when your clients stay invested — not on transactions. Of that commission, you keep 90% and Dhan Saarthi keeps 10%.

You don’t need a finance degree.
This is you.

You need people who trust you — and most professionals already have them. If you recognise yourself here, you already have the hardest part.

Insurance agents

You already sell long-term financial products and review families year after year.

CAs & tax professionals

Clients already trust you with money decisions and returns.

Real-estate professionals

You guide people through the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

Second-income seekers

You have a network and want a recurring income you own — not another job.

Stock brokers & sub-brokers

You know markets and clients who invest — mutual funds extend the relationship.

Bank & NBFC RMs

You’ve built books for an employer. The skills transfer directly to your own.

We’re just getting started. You can start with us.
