Investor Awareness
Practical protections every investor should know.
Investing well starts with staying safe. These habits help you spot warning signs, use the right channels, and know where to go when something is unclear.

Deal only with registered intermediaries
Verify the ARN of any registered distributor through AMFI’s public register before transacting.
Beware of guaranteed-return claims
No market-linked investment can guarantee returns. Any such claim should be treated as a warning sign and reported.
Invest through official channels
Payments should be made only to the asset management company or through official platforms, never into an individual’s personal account.
Read the documents
Scheme related documents state the objective, asset allocation, risks, costs and exit terms. Read them before investing.
Keep records current
Maintain updated KYC, nomination and contact details with the registrar and transfer agent.
Raise concerns early
Use the grievance channels published by the asset management company, SEBI and AMFI if something is unclear or unresolved.
