Changing MF Online Agent
Dear friend:
I buy Mutual Funds online on KotakSecurities very aggressively. I have had numerous problems with KotakSecurities (I have written a separate post on the problems:
http://www.traderji.com/brokers-demat-matters/14395-kotaksecurities-avoid.html) and I want to close down everything I have to do with Kotak.
While it is pretty easy to move all my stocks from Kotak DP A/c to another DP account, can I do the same for my Mutual Fund holdings - i.e. can I move all my MF holdings from online KotakSecurities agent to some other online agent? I have asked many people about this but they all said: "it is easy to transfer offline MF units to Online units (between agents); but transferring the MF holdings from one Online broker to another is not possible (rather very tough).
Can anyone throw light on what it takes to transfer MF holding from one ONLINE Agent to ANOTHER ONLINE agent?
One very obvious option I have is to sell the units and reinvest - which I'm very reluctant to do because I have to pay the entry load again!
best regards and thanks in advance
