Building AssetPlus: Engineering a Compliant Multi-Tenant Mutual Fund Distribution Platform
The wealthtech space in India is undergoing unprecedented growth. Central to this transformation are Mutual Fund Distributors (MFDs), who manage trillions in Assets Under Management (AUM). However, legacy systems often hold MFDs back with fragmented transaction flows, manual KYC checks, and disconnected client communications.
At Anu InfoTech Solutions, we designed and engineered a full-scale wealthtech SaaS ecosystem modeled after AssetPlus, solving these critical bottlenecks.
1. The Core Architecture
To support thousands of distributors and millions of active investors, we deployed a multi-tenant microservices architecture:
- Web Dashboard: Built using React/Next.js for MFDs to manage clients, configure commission splits, and track AUM graphs.
- Investor Apps: Native-performing iOS and Android applications built using cross-platform frameworks, enabling a 3-tap transaction flow for clients.
- Super Admin Console: A centralized panel for system administration, platform brokerage rules, and transaction reconciliations.
- High-Throughput Backend: Modeled in Node.js and PostgreSQL, scaled on AWS to process thousands of transactions per second.
2. Overcoming Complex Integration Challenges
BSE StarMF API Integration
Mutual fund transaction systems require extremely secure, highly reliable communication with transaction engines like BSE StarMF. We built a robust middleware layer that translates front-end orders into encrypted BSE StarMF API payload packets, managing transaction retries, token expirations, and asynchronous transaction statuses.
SEBI-Compliant DigiKYC
To ensure frictionless onboarding, we integrated Digio KYC APIs and KRA checks. Investors can verify their identity using Aadhaar and PAN numbers, perform instant video-in-person verification, and electronically sign their AMFI declaration forms, bringing onboarding time down to under 2 minutes.
Automated Portfolio Reconciliation
The platform aggregates daily holding updates via CAMS and KFintech data feeds. Our event-driven scheduler parses these complex XML/DBF feeds automatically, updating the investor's current value, rolling returns, and absolute gains by 8:00 AM every morning.
3. Results & Impact
- 99.98% Transaction Uptime: Handled by AWS auto-scaling groups and multi-AZ database clustering.
- 2-Minute Onboarding: Client drop-offs decreased by 65%.
- Zero-Friction AUM Growth: Empowering independent financial advisors to double their business scale in 6 months.
