One AMC has multiple mutual fund schemes and multiple fund managers. If you think of investing in multiple mutual fund schemes then 1 way is to visit the individual AMC website and start investing there...
But since each AMC has a different website, it will be very difficult for you to track all your investments and it will become more & more difficult as your investment grows and diversification in your investment increases.
The solution to that is you can use a third-party app like Etmoney, Groww, Kuvera & INDmoney, etc. Even though you start your investment through these third-party apps, your money will directly go to the respective AMC. So your investment will remain secure. You can track all your mutual funds (invested through 3rd party apps) on your respective AMC website.
In case any of the above third-party apps get closed permanently, you will still be able to track, invest more & withdraw your invested mutual funds from the respective AMC website.
NOTE: Always invest in a direct plan and increase your return by 0.5 to 1% per annum.
