Switching from regular to direct plans cuts expense ratio drag but may trigger capital gains if units are redeemed and re-purchased. Same-AMC switch options reduce friction when available.

- Time switches after crossing load-free holding periods when possible.
- Update folio email and nomination while you are in the portal.
