Do I need AMFI certification?

For educational content, no. But if you distribute/recommend specific funds for commission, you need AMFI Registration Number (ARN). Always add standard MF disclaimers.

How do mutual fund channels make money?

YouTube ads (₹150-500 per 1K views), investment platform affiliates (Groww, Kuvera — ₹200-500 per signup), selling courses, and financial planning services.

What MF content gets the most views?

'Best mutual funds for [year]' lists, SIP calculator demonstrations, platform comparisons (Groww vs Zerodha), and tax-saving ELSS content during January-March.

How often should I post?

2-3 videos per week plus daily finance tip Shorts. Monthly fund recommendation videos and quarterly portfolio updates create recurring viewership.

Step-by-Step Guide

Define your MF content focus

Choose between beginner education (SIP basics), fund analysis (recommendations), or advanced strategies (portfolio building).

Build evergreen education content

Create a complete beginner's course: what are MFs, types, how to start SIP, how to choose funds. This foundation drives long-term traffic.

Add monthly fund recommendations

Monthly 'best funds' updates create recurring viewership. Always explain your selection criteria, not just fund names.

Show your own portfolio

Sharing your personal SIP portfolio (with performance) builds trust. Be transparent about both gains and losses.

Monetize through platform affiliates

Investment platform affiliates (₹200-500 per signup), YouTube ads (₹150-500/1K views), selling MF courses, and financial planning services.

Why mutual fund content is booming in India

MF education demand is at an all-time high:

- 8 crore+ SIP accounts in India — growing by 30 lakh per month
- ₹50+ lakh crore AUM — more money flowing into MFs than ever before
- High RPM — Finance channels earn ₹150-500 per 1000 views
- Platform affiliates — Groww, Zerodha, Kuvera pay ₹200-500 per account opening
- Evergreen + timely — SIP basics are evergreen; fund recommendations are timely

The gap: simple, jargon-free mutual fund education for first-time investors. Most MF content uses financial jargon — channels explaining in simple Hindi/Hinglish have massive demand.

Choosing your MF sub-niche

Mutual funds have many content angles:

By topic: SIP basics, fund selection, portfolio building, tax planning (ELSS), NFOs
By fund type: Equity, debt, hybrid, index funds, ELSS, sectoral
By audience: First-time investors, salaried employees, retirees, students, NRIs
By format: Fund reviews, comparisons, calculators, portfolio analysis, market updates

Best niches: SIP for absolute beginners, monthly fund recommendations with analysis, index fund investing, and ELSS tax-saving fund comparisons.

How to create mutual fund content with AI

AI tools help MF creators produce data-rich content:

1. Fund comparison Shorts — Use FluxNote to create quick fund-vs-fund comparison videos with performance data
2. SIP calculator videos — Generate visual SIP projection Shorts with text overlays showing growth scenarios
3. Tax-saving guides — Create seasonal ELSS and tax planning videos with AI narration
4. Monthly portfolio updates — Build polished portfolio review videos with AI editing and performance graphics

Mutual fund Shorts with specific SIP calculations ('₹5,000 SIP in Nifty 50 for 20 years = ₹X') get massively shared and saved.

Pro Tips

Use SIP calculators in every video — viewers love seeing projected returns with specific numbers
Always mention expense ratios and past performance disclaimers
Create content around tax season (Jan-March) for ELSS fund recommendations
Compare funds with clear data tables — visual comparisons perform better than verbal comparisons
Add AMFI disclaimer: 'Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks'
