Rajendran was very skeptical in moving from regular plan to direct plan. He used to get consolidated view of all his funds from his agent. It was easy for him to understand the portfolio value .
He was not ready to move to direct plan even when he understand that he can get much better returns in direct plans.
I explained him how to create a portfolio in valueresearchonline.com and how he can track his portfolio as and when he want.
It is a onetime exercise to create your portfolio there. After that, you can track daily movement of the portfolio, allocation between equity & debt, allocation between Large, Mid and small cap etc.
What is more, you can get the capital gain details for taxation also.
Rajendran now invest in direct plan happily and is happy with the Value Research online portfolio tool.
But do not create a habit of watching it daily. It will only increase your blood pressure not your portfolio value. Ideally, watch it once in 3 months.

Value research does not specify or name of the fund one needs to invest. It only says big cap fund/small cap/midcap/balance fund etc. But there are many funds in each segment for an investor it becomes difficult which one to choose. If this can clarrified as a perticular fund then it becomes easy for the investor.
will it take fd-non cum, cum, ppf , nss , debt funds, gold?
Sir, I feel it is better to maintain your data offline in a MS-Excel file rather than using an online tool where data could get comprised. Even if one wants to use an online tool, he/she should figure out some way of maintaining anonymity (if possible).
In valueresearchonline.com portfolio fix income values are not correct even after feeding all parameters correctly. Shows much higher current value than real one.
