AI Wealth Advisor Funded: Is Your Portfolio Safer?
Novelty Wealth, a SEBI-registered investment advisor, raised $1.4M to build an AI platform that gives Indian investors a single, unbiased view of all their investments — mutual funds, stocks, and more — without commission-driven bias.
Most Indians pay hidden commissions on MFs — equal to 2–3 months of chai money every year, silently.
A SEBI-registered AI advisor just got funded — here's what it means for your investments
Key Takeaways
Check whether your current mutual fund advisor is a SEBI-registered RIA (fee-only) or a distributor (commission-earning) — SEBI's website has a public RIA registry.
Consolidate your investments using any aggregator tool or CAS (Consolidated Account Statement from CAMS/KFintech) to see your true portfolio picture for free.
Compare what you pay in expense ratios on regular MF plans vs direct plans — switching to direct can save 0.5%–1% annually, compounding significantly over 10–15 years.
