GENERAL INTRODUCTION MUTUAL FUNDS

INTRODUCTION Mutual Funds are for everyone. Around the world, millions of investors invest in Mutual offer. A mutual fund is type of investment vehicle where investors pool their money in order to allow each investor participate in a portfolio of securities. The individual investor doesn't actually own each security but instead, he owns shares of the mutual fund. The main benefit of a mutual fund is that it provides a way for the investor to achieve diversification in his investments without having to invest a lot of money. The first mutual fund was the Massachusetts Investors Trust introduced in 1924. At the end of its first year, the fund had 200 investors with $63,600 in assets. At the end of 1995, the fund grew to 73,500 investors with assets totaling $1.8 billion! Now there are over 7000 different mutual funds available to choose from. Different investment avenues are available to investors. Mutual funds also offer good investment opportunities to the investors. Like all investments, they also carry certain risks. The investors should compare the risks and expected yields after adjustment of tax on various instruments while taking investment decisions. The investors may seek advice from experts and consultants including agents and distributors of mutual funds schemes while making investment decisions. With an objective to make the investors aware of functioning of mutual funds, an attempt has been made to provide information in question-answer format that may help the investors in taking investment decisions. Funds because of their safety, ease of investing and the many advantages they
Over the past decade, American investors increasingly have turned to mutual funds to save for retirement and other financial goals. Mutual funds can offer the advantages of diversification and professional management. But, as with other investment choices, investing in mutual funds involves risk. And fees and taxes will diminish a fund's returns. It pays to understand both the upsides and the downsides of mutual fund investing and how to choose products that match your goals and tolerance for risk.
MUTUAL FUND CHART A mutual fund is a company that pools money from many investors and invests the money in stocks, bonds, short-term money-market instruments, other securities or assets, or some combination of these investments. The combined holdings the mutual fund owns are known as its portfolio. Each share represents an investor's proportionate ownership of the fund's holdings and the income those holdings generate.
A mutual fund, also called an investment company, is an investment vehicle which pools the money of many investors. The fund's manager uses the money collected to purchase securities such as stocks and bonds. The securities purchased are referred to as the fund's portfolio. A mutual fund's portfolio is managed by a professional money manager. The manager's business is to choose securities, which are best, suited for the portfolio. Be
aware, however, that even a professional money manager cannot insure against a loss of principal. When you give your money to a mutual fund, you receive shares of the fund in return. Each share represents an interest in the fund's portfolio. The value of your mutual fund shares will rise and fall depending upon the performance of the securities in the portfolio. Like a shareholder in a corporation, you will receive a proportional share of income and interest generated by the portfolio. You can receive these distributions either in cash or as additional shares of the fund. As a shareholder, you also have certain shareholder voting rights. CONCEPT OF MUTUAL FUNDS The concept of mutual funds in India dates back to the year 1963. The era between 1963 and 1987 marked the existence of only one mutual fund company in India with Rs. 67bn assets under management (AUM), by the end of its monopoly era, the Unit Trust of India (UTI). By the end of the 80s decade, few other mutual fund companies in India took their position in mutual fund market. The new entries of mutual fund companies in India were SBI Mutual Fund, Canbank Mutual Fund, Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund, Indian Bank Mutual Fund, Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund. MUTUAL FUND OPERATION FLOW CHART
Characteristics of mutual funds include the following:

Investors purchase mutual fund shares from the fund itself instead of from other investors on a secondary market, such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ Stock Market. The price that investors pay for mutual fund shares is the funds per share net asset value (NAV) plus any shareholder fees that the fund imposes at the time of purchase. Mutual fund shares are "redeemable," meaning investors can sell their shares back to the fund. Mutual funds generally create and sell new shares to accommodate new investors. In other words, they sell their shares on a continuous basis, although some funds stop selling when, for example, they become too large. The investment portfolios of mutual funds typically are managed by separate entities known as "investment advisers" that are registered with the SEC. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund: A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share common financial goal; investments may be in shares, debt securities, money market securities or a combination of these. Those securities are professionally managed on behalf of the unit-holders, and each investor holds a pro-rata share of the portfolio i.e. entitled to any profits when the securities are sold, but subject to any losses in value as well. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.

MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA In India, the Mutual Fund Industry has been monopolized by the Unit Trust of India ever since 1963. Now, the commercial banks like the Sate Bank of India, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of India and the Punjab National Bank have entered in to the field. To add to the list are the LIC of India and the private sector banks and other financial institutions. These institutions have successfully launched a variety of schemes to meet the diverse needs of millions of small investors. The Unit Trust of India has introduced huge portfolio of schemes like Unit 64, Mastergain, and Mastershare etc. It is the countrys largest mutual fund company with over 25 million investors and a corpus exceeding Rs.55,000 crores, accounting for nearly 10% of the countrys stock market capitalization. The total corpus of the 13 other mutual funds in the country is less than Rs.15,000 crore. The SBI fund has a corpus of Rs.2925 crore deployed in its 16 schemes servicing over 2.5 million shareholders. On the whole, as on 30/9/95 there were nearly 25 mutual funds offering 80 different schemes and serving nearly 60 million investors. There are also mutual funds with investments sourced abroad called offshore funds. They have been established for attracting NRI investments to the capital market in India. The India Fund Unit scheme 1986 traded in the London Stock Exchange and the India Fund Unit Scheme 1988 traded in the New York Stock Exchange were floated by the Unit Trust of India and the India Magnum Fund was floated by the State Bank of India. As
preset, there are 16 different offshare Indian funds which have brought about $2.7billion to the Indian market. Besides the above, the LIC and the GIC have also entered into the market. Again many private organization have entered into the field. Most of the schemes have declared a dividend ranging between 13.5% and 17%. In most of the cases it is around 14% only. The recent trend in the mutual fund industry is to go for tie up arrangements with foreign collaborators. We find Tatas tying up with Kleinworth Benson; GIC with George Soros; Credit Capital with Lazard Brothers; Kothari with Pioneer; ICICI with JP Morgan; 20th Century with Morgan and so on. institution. The private sector which entered the arena in 1993 is concentrating on the primary market. It is so because, investments in new share fetch appreciation between 30 and 1500 per cent in a very short period. Promoters too give preferential treatment to mutual funds because it reduces their marketing cost. Again, they go for fund-participation in a venture even before it goes public. They see potential for immense appreciation in unlisted securities which intent to go to public with a short period of one year. In India, Mutual funds have been preferred as an avenue for investment by the household savers only from 1990s. the sales of units of UTI which were Rs.890 crores in 1985-86 rose to Rs.4100 crores in 1990-91 and Rs.9500 crores in 1993-94. the public sector mutual funds wee able to collect Rs 3800 crores I 1990-91. However, they could collect only R. 400 crores in 1993-94. the private sector mutual funds mobilized Rs.17 crores in 1993-94. On the whole, the mutual fund industry was able to mobilize approximately Rs. 1200 crores in 1993-94, which amounts to 8% of the gross domestic householding savings in the country. It is a good going indeed. However, the rate of growth is comparatively slow an not very satisfactory. Today mutual funds have started playing a positive role in the countrys saving revolution. The growth of mutual funds business can be witnessed from the following figure. Of course, these tie-ups would bring in new perspective, systems and technology and this very foreign tag may add credit to the

Source: Financial Markets and Services By Gordon.Natarajan History Of Mutual Funds In India And Role Of SEBI In Mutual Funds Industry Unit Trust of India was the first mutual fund set up in India in the year 1963. In early 1990s, Government allowed public sector banks and institutions to set up mutual funds. In the year 1992, Securities and exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act was passed. The objectives of SEBI are to protect the interest of investors in securities and to promote the development of and to regulate the securities market. As far as mutual funds are concerned, SEBI formulates policies and regulates the mutual funds to protect the interest of the investors. SEBI notified regulations for the mutual funds in 1993. Thereafter, mutual funds sponsored by private sector entities were allowed to enter the capital market. The regulations were fully revised in 1996 and have
been amended thereafter from time to time. SEBI has also issued guidelines to the mutual funds from time to time to protect the interests of investors. All mutual funds whether promoted by public sector or private sector entities including those promoted by foreign entities are governed by the same set of Regulations. There is no distinction in regulatory requirements for these mutual funds and all are subject to monitoring and inspections by SEBI. The risks associated with the schemes launched by the mutual funds sponsored by these entities are of similar type.
There are four 4 phases according to the development of sector First Phase 1964-1987
1964 to 1987: - Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6,700 cores of asset
Second Phase 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
1987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC).
SBI Mutual Fund was the first non- UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987 followed by Canbank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92).
LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its mutual fund in December 1990.
10
At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47,004 crores.
Third Phase 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)
With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being, under which all mutual funds, except UTI were to be registered and governed.
The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993. The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996.
The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions.
As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs.44,541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.
Fourth Phase since February 2003
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29,835 crores as at the end of January 2003, representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured return and certain other schemes.
The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning under an administrator and under the rules framed by Government of India and does not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations.
The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations
11
With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76,000 crores of assets under management and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent mergers taking place among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its current phase of consolidation and growth.
MUTUAL FUND STRUCTURE
The structure consists of 1. Sponsor Sponsor is the person who acting alone or in combination with another body corporate establishes a mutual fund. Sponsor must contribute atleast 40% of the networth of the Investment Manged and meet the eligibility criteria prescribed under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996.The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss or shortfall resulting from the operation of the Schemes beyond the initial contribution made by it towards setting up of the Mutual Fund. 2. Trust
12
The Mutual Fund is constituted as a trust in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 by the Sponsor. The trust deed is registered under the Indian Registration Act, 1908. 3. Trustee Trustee is usually a company (corporate body) or a Board of Trustees (body of individuals). The main responsibility of the Trustee is to safeguard the interest of the unit holders and inter alia ensure that the AMC functions in the interest of investors and in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Offer Documents of the respective Schemes. Atleast 2/3rd directors of the Trustee are independent directors who are not associated with the Sponsor in any manner. 4. Registrar and Transfer Agent The AMC if so authorised by the Trust Deed appoints the Registrar and Transfer Agent to the Mutual Fund. The Registrar processes the application form, redemption requests and dispatches account statements to the unit holders. The Registrar and Transfer agent also handles communications with investors and updates investor records. Asset Management Company (AMC) The AMC is appointed by the Trustee as the Investment Manager of the Mutual Fund. The AMC is required to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to act as an asset management company of the Mutual Fund. Atleast 50% of the directors of the AMC are independent directors who are not associated with the Sponsor in any manner. The AMC must have a net worth of atleast 10 crore at all times. Asset Management Companies in India The management of a client's investments by a financial services company, usually an investment bank. The company will invest on behalf of its clients and give them access to a wide range of traditional and alternative product offerings that would not be to the average investor. Some of the asset management companies 1. UTI Mutual Fund. 2. Reliance Mutual Fund.

3. SBI Mutual Fund. 4. LIC Mutual Fund. 5. GIC Mutual Fund. 6. Tata Mutual Fund. 7. Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund. 8. Canbank Mutual Fund. 9. HDFC Mutual Fund. 10. Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund. 11. Chola Mutual Fund. 12. Benchmark Mutual Fund. 13. Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund. 14. Sahara Mutual Fund. 15. Sundram Mutual Fund Assets under management An asset under management is the amount of clients' funds that a financial sector company such as a fund manager is responsible for managing. This is a measure of the size of the business. It is often used to value fund managers, particularly when assessing takeovers, or the possibility of takeovers. The value of a fund manager is also affected by other factors, most importantly the type of funds as this affects the level of fees. Active funds charge far more than index trackers (charges in both cases are usually a percentage of the assets managed). Hedge funds have more complex fee structures and it is usual for them to charge a (high) percentage of any gains. Changes in assets under management can reflect both inflows and outflows of funds (i.e. clients investing or withdrawing investments) and gains and losses in the value of the assets. In order to understand underlying trends it is important to break down the changes in order to see whether the changes are due to gains or loss of clients funds (fund inflows and outflows) or investment gains and losses.

Fund Classification Here are some of the general categories of mutual funds. Bond Funds:- Bond mutual funds are pooled amounts of money invested in bonds. Bonds are IOUs, or debt, issued by companies or by governments. A purchaser of a bond is lending money to the issuer, and will usually collect some regular interest payments until the money is returned. Usually the amount of interest paid (the coupon) is fixed at a set percentage of the amount invested; thus, bonds are called "fixed-income" investments. Balanced Funds:- Balanced funds mix some stocks and some bonds. A typical balanced fund might contain about 50-65% stocks and hold the rest of shareholder's money in bonds. It is important to know the distribution of stocks to
15
bonds in a specific balanced fund to understand the risks and rewards inherent in that fund. General Equity (Stock) Funds:- Stock or equity mutual funds are pooled amounts of money that are invested in stocks. Stocks represent part ownership, or equity, in corporations, and the goal of stock ownership is to see the value of the companies increase over time. Stocks are often categorized by their market capitalization (or caps), and can be classified in three basic sizes: small, medium, and large. International/Global Funds:- International funds invest in companies whose homes are beyond the fair shores of this great nation. Global funds invest in both U.S. and international-based companies. In general, international and global funds are more volatile than domestic funds. Sector Funds:- Sector funds invest in one particular sector of the economy: technology; financial, computers, the Internet, llamas. Sector funds can be extremely volatile, since the broad market will find certain sectors very attractive and very unattractive - often in rapid succession.
Performance of Mutual Funds in India

The performance of mutual funds in India in the initial phase was not even closer to satisfactory level. People rarely understood, and of course investing was out of question. But yes, some 24 million shareholders were accustomed with guaranteed high returns by the beginning of liberalization of the industry in 1992. This good record of UTI became marketing tool for new entrants. The expectations of investors touched the sky in profitability factor. However, people were miles away from the preparedness of risks factor after the liberalization. The Assets Under Management of UTI was Rs. 67bn. by the end of 1987. From Rs. 67bn. the Assets Under Management rose to Rs. 470 bn. in March 1993 and the figure had a three times higher performance by April 2004. It rose as high as Rs. 1,540bn. The net asset value (NAV) of mutual funds in India declined when stock prices started
16
falling in the year 1992. Those days, the market regulations did not allow portfolio shifts into alternative investments. There were rather no choices apart from holding the cash or to further continue investing in shares. Since only closed-end funds were floated in the market, the investors disinvested by selling at a loss in the secondary market. The performance of mutual funds in India suffered qualitatively. The 1992 stock market scandal, the losses by disinvestments and of course the lack of transparent rules in the whereabouts rocked confidence among the investors. Partly owing to a relatively weak stock market performance, mutual funds have not yet recovered, with funds trading at an average discount of 1020 percent of their net asset value. The supervisory authority adopted a set of measures to create a transparent and competitive environment in mutual funds. Some of them were like relaxing investment restrictions into the market, introduction of open-ended funds, and paving the gateway for mutual funds to launch pension schemes. The measure was taken to make mutual funds the key instrument for long-term saving. The more the variety offered, the quantitative will be investors. At last to mention, as long as mutual fund companies are performing with lower risks and higher profitability within a short span of time, more and more people will be inclined to invest until and unless they are fully educated with the dos and donts of mutual funds.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES :
Investment Objective Schemes can be classified by way of their stated investment objective such as Growth Fund, Balanced Fund, Income Fund etc Equity Oriented Schemes These schemes, also commonly called Growth Schemes, seek to invest a majority of their funds in equities and a small portion in money market instruments. Such schemes have the potential to deliver superior returns over the long term. However, because they
22
invest in equities, these schemes are exposed to fluctuations in value especially in the short term. Equity schemes are hence not suitable for investors seeking regular income or needing to use their investments in the short-term. They are ideal for investors who have a long-term investment horizon. The NAV prices of equity fund fluctuates with market value of the underlying stock which are influenced by external factors such as social, political as well as economic. HDFC Growth Fund, HDFC Tax Plan 2000 and HDFC Index Fund are examples of equity schemes.
General Purpose: The investment objectives of general-purpose equity schemes do not restrict them to invest in specific industries or sectors. They thus have a diversified portfolio of companies across a large spectrum of industries. While they are exposed to equity price risks, diversified general-purpose equity funds seek to reduce the sector or stock specific risks through diversification. They mainly have market risk exposure. HDFC Growth Fund is a general-purpose equity scheme. Sector Specific: These schemes restrict their investing to one or more pre-defined sectors, e.g. technology sector. Since they depend upon the performance of select sectors only, these
23
schemes are inherently more risky than general-purpose schemes. They are suited for informed investors who wish to take a view and risk on the concerned sector. Special Schemes : Index schemes The primary purpose of an Index is to serve as a measure of the performance of the market as a whole, or a specific sector of the market. An Index also serves as a relevant benchmark to evaluate the performance of mutual funds. Some investors are interested in investing in the market in general rather than investing in any specific fund. Such investors are happy to receive the returns posted by the markets. As it is not practical to invest in each and every stock in the market in proportion to its size, these investors are comfortable investing in a fund that they believe is a good representative of the entire market. Index Funds are launched and managed for such investors. An example to such a fund is the HDFC Index Fund Tax Saving schemes : Investors (individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs)) are being encouraged to invest in equity markets through Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) by offering them a tax rebate. Units purchased cannot be assigned / transferred/ pledged / redeemed / switched out until completion of 3 years from the date of allotment of the respective Units. The Scheme is subject to Securities & Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and the notifications issued by the Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs), Government of India regarding ELSS. Subject to such conditions and limitations, as prescribed under Section 88 of the Incometax Act, 1961, subscriptions to the Units not exceeding Rs.10, 000 would be eligible to a deduction, from income tax, of an amount equal to 20% of the amount subscribed. HDFC Tax Plan 2000 is such a fund. Debt Based Schemes These schemes, also commonly called Income Schemes, invest in debt securities such as corporate bonds, debentures and government securities. The prices of these schemes tend to be more stable compared with equity schemes and most of the returns to the investors are generated through dividends or steady capital appreciation. These schemes
24
are ideal for conservative investors or those not in a position to take higher equity risks, such as retired individuals. However, as compared to the money market schemes they do have a higher price fluctuation risk and compared to a Gilt fund they have a higher credit risk.
Income Schemes:
These schemes invest in money markets, bonds and debentures of corporates with medium and long-term maturities. These schemes primarily target current income instead of capital appreciation. They therefore distribute a substantial part of their distributable surplus to the investor by way of dividend distribution. Such schemes usually declare quarterly dividends and are suitable for conservative investors who have medium to long term investment horizon and are looking for regular income through dividend or steady capital appreciation. HDFC Income Fund, HDFC Short Term Plan and HDFC Fixed Investment Plans are examples of bond schemes. Liquid Income Schemes: Similar to the Income scheme but with a shorter maturity than Income schemes. An example of this scheme is the HDFC Liquid Fund.
25
Money Market Schemes:
These schemes invest in short term instruments such as commercial paper (CP), certificates of deposit (CD), treasury bills (T-Bill) and overnight money (Call). The schemes are the least volatile of all the types of schemes because of their investments in money market instrument with short-term maturities. These schemes have become popular with institutional investors and high networth individuals having short-term surplus funds Gilt Funds : This scheme primarily invests in Government Debt. Hence the investor usually does not have to worry about credit risk since Government Debt is generally credit risk free. HDFC Gilt Fund is an example of such a scheme. Hybrid Schemes :
These schemes are commonly known as balanced schemes. These schemes invest in both equities as well as debt. By investing in a mix of this nature, balanced schemes seek to attain the objective of income and moderate capital appreciation and are ideal for investors with a conservative, long-term orientation. HDFC Balanced Fund and HDFC Childrens Gift Fund are examples of hybrid schemes.
Constitution Schemes can be classified as Closed-ended or Open-ended depending upon whether they give the investor the option to redeem at any time (open-ended) or whether the investor has to wait till maturity of the scheme. Open ended Schemes:
The units offered by these schemes are available for sale and repurchase on any business day at NAV based prices. Hence, the unit capital of the schemes keeps changing each day. Such schemes thus offer very high liquidity to investors and are becoming increasingly popular in India. Please note that an open-ended fund is NOT obliged to keep selling/issuing new units at all times, and may stop issuing further subscription to new investors. On the other hand, an open-ended fund rarely denies to its investor the facility to redeem existing units.
26
Closed ended Schemes:
The unit capital of a close-ended product is fixed as it makes a one-time sale of fixed number of units. These schemes are launched with an initial public offer (IPO) with a stated maturity period after which the units are fully redeemed at NAV linked prices. In the interim, investors can buy or sell units on the stock exchanges where they are listed. Unlike open-ended schemes, the unit capital in closed-ended schemes usually remains unchanged. After an initial closed period, the scheme may offer direct repurchase facility to the investors. Closed-ended schemes are usually more illiquid as compared to open-ended schemes and hence trade at a discount to the NAV. This discount tends towards the NAV closer to the maturity date of the scheme. Interval Schemes: These schemes combine the features of open-ended and closed-ended schemes. They may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV based prices. Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) With the increase in mutual fund players in India, a need for mutual fund association in India was generated to function as a non-profit organisation. Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) was incorporated on 22nd August, 1995.

RISKS Mutual Funds are not free from risks. It is so because basically the Mutual Funds also invest their funds in the stock market on shares which are volatile in nature and are not risk free. Hence, the following risks are inherent in their dealings.
1)
Risks: certain
Market In risks
general, there are
28
associated with every kind of investment on shares. They are called market risks. These market risks can be reduced but cannot be completely eliminated even by a good investment management. The prices of shares are subject to wide price fluctuations depending upon market conditions over which nobody has a control. Moreover, every economy has to pass through a cycle-Boom, Recession, Slump and Recovery. The phase of the business cycle affects the market conditions to a larger extent.
2) Scheme Risks: - There are certain risks inherent in the scheme itself. It all depends
upon the nature of the scheme. For instance, in a pure growth scheme, risks are greater. It is obvious because if one expects more return as in the case of a growth scheme, one has to take more risks.
3) Investment Risk: - whether the Mutual Fund makes money in shares or loses
depends upon the investment expertise of the Asset Management Company. If the investment advice goes wrong, the Fund has to suffer a lot. The investment expertise of various funds are different and it is reflected on the returns which they offer to investors.
4) Business Risk: - The corpus of a Mutual Fund might have been invested in a
companys shares. If the business of that company suffers any set back, it cannot declare any dividend. It may even go to the extent of winding up its business. Though the mutual fund can withstand such a risk, its income paying capacity is affected.
5) Political Risks: - Successive Governments bring with them fancy new economic
ideologies and policies. It is often said that many economic decisions are politically motivated. Changes in Government bring in the risk of uncertainty which every player in the financial service industry has to face. So mutual funds are no exception to it. Source: Financial Markets and Services By Gordon.Natarajan Benefits of Mutual Funds
29
There are numerous benefits of investing in mutual funds and one of the key reasons for its phenomenal success in the developed markets like US and UK is the range of benefits they offer, which are unmatched by most other investment avenues. We have explained the key benefits in this section. The benefits have been broadly split into universal benefits, applicable to all schemes, and benefits applicable specifically to openended schemes. Universal benefits: Affordability: A mutual fund invests in a portfolio of assets, i.e. bonds, shares, etc. depending upon the investment objective of the scheme. An investor can buy in to a portfolio of equities, which would otherwise be extremely expensive. Each unit holder thus gets an exposure to such portfolios with an investment as modest as Rs.500/-. This amount today would get you less than quarter of an Infosys share! Thus it would be affordable for an investor to build a portfolio of investments through a mutual fund rather than investing directly in the stock market. Diversification: The nuclear weapon in your arsenal for your fight against Risk. It simply means that you must spread your investment across different securities (stocks, bonds, money market instruments, real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and different sectors (auto, textile, information technology etc.). This kind of a diversification may add to the stability of your returns, for example during one period of time equities might underperform but bonds and money market instruments might do well enough to offset the effect of a slump in the equity markets. Similarly the information technology sector might be faring poorly but the auto and textile sectors might do well and may protect your principal investment as well as help you meet your return objectives.
30
Variety: Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This variety is beneficial in two ways: first, it offers different types of schemes to investors with different needs and risk appetites; secondly, it offers an opportunity to an investor to invest sums across a variety of schemes, both debt and equity. For example, an investor can invest his money in a Growth Fund (equity scheme) and Income Fund (debt scheme) depending on his risk appetite and thus create a balanced portfolio easily or simply just buy a Balanced Scheme. Professional Management: Qualified investment professionals who seek to maximise returns and minimize risk monitor investor's money. When you buy in to a mutual fund, you are handing your money to an investment professional who has experience in making investment decisions. It is the Fund Manager's job to (a) find the best securities for the fund, given the fund's stated investment objectives; and (b) keep track of investments and changes in market conditions and adjust the mix of the portfolio, as and when required. Tax Benefits: Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit holders of open-ended equity-oriented funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31, 2003, will be taxed at a concessional rate of 10.5%. In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families a deduction upto Rs. 9,000 from the Total Income will be admissible in respect of income from investments specified in Section 80L, including income from Units of the Mutual Fund. Units of the schemes are not subject to Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax. Regulations: Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the mutual funds regulator has clearly defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules relate to the formation, administration and management of mutual funds and also prescribe disclosure and accounting requirements. Such a high level of regulation seeks to protect the interest of investors. Drawbacks of Mutual Funds: Mutual funds have their drawbacks and may not be for everyone:
31
No Guarantees: No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market declines in
value, the value of mutual fund shares will go down as well, no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell stocks on their own. However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of losing money.
Fees and commissions: All funds charge administrative fees to cover their day-to-
day expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial planners. Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you will pay a sales commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.
Taxes: During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere
from 20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. If your fund makes a profit on its sales, you will pay taxes on the income you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.
Management risk: When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on the fund's
manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you had hoped, you might not make as much money on your investment as you expected. Of course, if you invest in Index Funds, you forego management risk, because these funds do not employ managers.

CONCLUSION:
It brings together a group of people and invests their money in stocks, bonds, and other securities. According to the analysis all Selected Mutual Funds are the well performed funds so the investor can think about the investment in these funds. The advantage of Mutuals are professional management, diversification, economies of scale, simplicity and liquidity. The disadvantages of Mutuals are high costs, over diversification, possible tax consequences and the inability of management to guarantee a superior return. Mutual funds are easy to buy and sell. Investor may loss either buy them directly from the fund company or through a third party. The awareness about the Mutual Fund is being increasing every day more number of investing in the Mutual Funds in India, today it is one of the safest investment in the country.
The scope of development Mutual Fund industry is very wide in India because it only caters to the need of the individual investors but also to institutional investors. One thing is for sure the Mutual Fund industry is here to stay for years.
92% of people are not aware of Mutual Fund. The main reason of its poor growth is that the mutual fund industry in India is new in the country. Large sections of Indian investors are yet to be intellectuated with the concept. Hence, it is the prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to market the product correctly abreast of selling.
There are two types of Mutual Funds, Load Funds and No load funds. Load funds usually involves a sales chares. Keep in mind that just because a fund has a load, it does not guarantee a good performance. There are many No load Mutual Funds that are great performance and equally there are many load Mutual Funds that are great performance.
Most of the people in the India are not aware of Mutual Funds, therefore it leads to minimum investment in Mutual Funds. When compare to developed Nations like USA, 800 companies are working and they are all leading Asset Management Companies. But in India only 33 Asset Management Companies are working.
66
SUGGESTIONS: Mutual Fund Asset Management Companys is required to take more awareness in not only metros and cities but also in remote areas to induce the investor who invest in capital market. Mutual Fund Companies should target upon the insurance agents to sell their product which helps them to grow easily. Investors should evaluate past performance, look for stability and although past performance is no guarantee of future performance, it is a useful way to assess how well or badly a fund has performed in comparison to its stated objectives. The mutual fund Asset Management Companies should educate and give awareness about the concept of Mutual Funds to the investors. As majority of the investors in India are not aware of Mutual Funds is benefits over other investment. Therefore it leads to minimum investment in Mutual Funds.
