In this post, let us explore Groww Mutual Fund Investing App through some of the common questions you may have in your mind.

Groww App Review

How Does Groww.in Make Money?

The first and foremost question which may come to anyone’s mind is- how does Groww make money?

A business cannot survive without making profits right? It is important to note that Groww does not charge or get commission directly from the mutual fund as direct funds (& not regular funds where commissions are offered to the advisers or agents) are available on the platform.

Groww makes money by offering advisory services & add-on premium features to its users.

How is Groww Compared to Kuvera?

Groww & Kuvera- both platforms offer almost similar features and both are free to use platforms allowing investments in direct plans of mutual funds.

On a personal level, I find the user interface of Kuvera more intuitive as compared to that of Groww.

Having said that, this is a personal opinion and other individuals may find the UI of Groww better than Kuvera.

I would recommend you to sign up on both the platforms, explore them and then select any platform based on your liking.

What is the Commission Structure of Groww and Charges

As mentioned earlier, Groww provides direct mutual funds which do not offer any commission.

It does not charge any fees or commission from its users as well for availing their service or using the platform.

Groww may however charge for add on services like portfolio/investment advisory, premium features on the platform, etc.

Is Groww Sebi Registered?

Yes, Groww is SEBI registered adviser in the name of Finvantage Investment Adviser Private Limited based out of Bangalore.

Their registration number is INA20008981. You can check out their Certification of Registration with SEBI & Certificate of Registration with AMFI & BSE.

Is Groww App Safe?

Groww app is fully safe and secure. So, you don’t need to worry for online fraud. Groww has mentioned on their website that the user’s data is 100% safe and they employ bank grade security features on their platform.

It uses BSE Star MF platform for transactions. All your investments are directly with the respective mutual fund AMC.

So in case of any unfortunate reasons, if Groww shuts down, you can still continue your investments, redeem or maintain a relationship directly with the AMC. Groww is a just a platform.
