Angel One Mutual Funds platform
Angel One Mutual Funds is the mutual fund distribution arm of Angel One Limited , one of India’s largest discount broking firms by client count (~25 million as of 2025). Angel One Mutual Funds operates as a direct-plan-only distribution platform integrated into the broader Angel One trading app, complementing the parent’s equity, derivatives, and IPO services. The platform is distinct from Angel One Mutual Fund , the recently launched AMC arm.
For Indian retail investors who hold an Angel One trading account, the Mutual Funds tab provides convenient cross-product access for one-stop investing across equities and mutual funds.
Platform model
Direct-plan distribution
Angel One Mutual Funds offers schemes from all SEBI-registered AMCs as direct plans only:
- No regular-plan commissions earned from AMCs.
- Investor benefits from lower TER (typically 0.5 to 1.5 pp lower).
- Angel One monetises through broking revenue and value-added services.
Integration with the broking app
A key differentiator is platform integration:
- Single login for equity trading + mutual fund investing.
- Single funds-transfer ledger (UPI / NEFT).
- Unified portfolio view combining stocks, derivatives, MFs, IPOs.
- Single tax-statement aggregation for ITR filing.

- Folios issued by the AMC, not by Angel One.
