HDFC SKY or zerodha

[Indrajeet100]

Zerodha any day over HDFC Sky having used both and closed sky in favour of Zerodha. Biggest pain with Sky is they spam you like anything - mail, message, WhatsApp, calls- horrible. I shifted to Zerodha -it is so peaceful now. Secondly their reports are all pain to understand and find. Though ICICI DIRECT is just superb in this, in discount brokers Zerodha is most peace of mind

so are you using zerodha or icici direct? i don't do intraday/daily trading. just want to buy and hold few stocks regularly.

I'd gladly pay zerodha more for the peace of mind and no nonsense platform. I have tried almost every major broker. Closed all of them apart from Zerodha

could you share more about SOA.

As in?

what you suggest other two/three funds and through amc

That depends upon you

• A simple Nifty 50 Direct Index Fund Growth (I prefer UTI and / DSP, UTI because of it lowest Tracking difference and DSP because of its lowest SIP amount(100rs per day))
• Along with Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth is the basic template.

The template can be modified. Cant be judged just by 2 comments.

through amc

Through AMC

Invest Directly with AMC always, then manage/ view thru MF Central

also share the link.

Sure

I use both. ICICI direct is way costlier than zerodha but there is ease of doing it and reports and has been my main account. Zerodha I started using a year back and keep stocks meant for short term holding there.

Stay away from Parag Parik Flexi cap. AUM is too high. It is Large Cap now.

Always stick with Index Funds.

1. Nifty 50 or Sensex (HDFC Index Sensex Direct Plan-Growth)
2. Nifty Next 50 (UTI Nifty Next 50 Index Fund Direct - Growth)
3. Nifty Midcap 150 Index Fund or UTI BSE Low Volatility Index Fund (Index Flexi Cap Fund)

If your investment amount is low, stick with one fund enough.

1. Nifty Large midcap 250 Index Fund (Zerodha Nifty LargeMidcap 250 Index Fund Direct - Growth)

I have been wondering this for last 5 years and it still keeps beating my small and midcap portfolio.
