Indian Mutual Funds - Online Service for Investors

There are a number of ways that Indian Mutual fund investors can avail of electronic account statements from Mutual funds. In my experience , most mutual fund companies respond to emails within 48 hours. However one of the fastest and efficient ways to get an account statement by email is by using camsonline.To avail any of the services at camsonline.com, an investor must have specified an email address when opening his/her account

Computer Age Management Services Pvt. Ltd. (CAMS) offers a comprehensive package of Transaction Processing and Customer Care services to the Mutual Fund industry in India.Currently CAMS provides this comprehensive package of services to 17 Indian Mutual Fund families as service provider.

If you have invested in any of the mutual funds below then you can go to this website for all your service needs. In my opinion the most convenient is the "Mail Back Services" section which allow an investor to get a copy of their account statement , transaction details etc without having to remember the folio number. The investor has to enter the email address which is searched through the AMC's records for a match and then all associated folios are packaged together and sent encrypted to the registered email.
