Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

Project on CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR, INVESTMENT PATTERN & PREFERENCE IN INSURANCE SECTOR was carried out for IFIANS Financial Services from 1 th June, 2013 to 30th July, 2013. The project on CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR, INVESTMENT PATTERN & PREFERENCE IN INSURANCE SECTOR was carried out in IFIANS Financial Services, Warje, Pune. The intention behind taking over this project with IFIANS Financial Services was to primarily understand the concept of Financial Planning and Investment of an Individual in India.

I.

Background of the Study

The pre-liberalized India had a very poor rate of savings and most of the money earned was spent on consumption rather than accumulation. But in the post-liberalization period, India saw an upsurge in volume of savings. It is widely believed that Mutual funds (MFs) and Life Insurances (LIs) are designed to target small investors, salaried people. With this background, a humble attempt is made in this report to study the factors influencing the fund/scheme selection behavior of Indian retail investors with regards to mutual fund and life insurance products. ii. Utility of the Study The study will help the individuals to make a wise decision in investing their savings; such as: whom to buy from and where to buy. Further this study will help mutual fund and life insurance companies to understand the profile of Indian retail investors and their behavioral pattern. iii. Objective of the study

To understand the retail investors behavior towards different investment avenue on the basis of their age, gender, education and profession. To identify the features as the retail investors look for in investment products. To identify the scheme preference of investors. To identify the factors those influence the investors fund/scheme selection To identify the source of information that influences the fund/scheme selection decision. iv. Limitations of the Study Like most of the other researches, the study suffers from the following limitations that should be considered carefully at the time of generalizing the findings of the study: The respondents who have not given any information are not included in the sample but do come under the population Sample size is limited to 50 educated investors in Pune city only. The sample size may not adequately represent the national market. This study has not been conducted over an extended period of time having both market ups and downs. The market state has a significant influence on the buying patterns and preferences of investors.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Changing Scenario Since 1991, there has been a radical change in the Indian economic environment. In the early 90s the country was confronted with a severe crisis due to a sharp plunge in the foreign exchange reserves, a downgrading of the credit rating, suspension of foreign private capital flows and a decline in the industrial output. India was on the verge of defaulting on its foreign debt obligations. The only way was to initiate reforms and a structural adjustment program. The country would have to lift restrictions on foreign investments, on the flow of private capital and on private initiatives in many area of economic development. The structural reforms focused on liberalizing industry, trade, taxation and foreign investment, and on reforming the financial sector. Fundamentals of Investment:There are three fundamentals of investment, namely: SAFETY LIQUIDITY RETURN The order is quite clear: Safety- always first, then the Liquidity- next and Returnthird. A lot of people fall prey to the lure of high returns, and usually, this has resulted in a LOSS.

Most popular investment options for tax saving and investment as covered under chapter VI A (U/s 80 C and other) of the Income Tax Act 1961. Investments are of two types:

PPF (Public Provident Fund)

[EEE]

It is a saving cum tax saving instrument. It also serves as a retirement planning tool for many of those who do not have any structured pension plan. PPF has, the last number of years, been one of the best investment options. It offers: a) High and assured returns b) 100% guaranteed by the govt. of India c) Tax rebate while investing and tax- free returns U/s 10(10D) PPF at a glance: 1. Minimum amount is Rs. 500 and maximum is Rs. 100,000 in a financial year. 2. A PPF account can be opened in Post office and Nationalized banks. 3. PPF also comes under Section 80C for income tax deduction. 4. Lock in period for PPF is 15 years. 5. Loans from the amount at credit in PPF amount can be taken after completion of one year from the end of the financial year of opening the account and before completion of the 5 th year. 14 | P a g e II PGDM-

PPF is considered to be the best investment option as it is backed by Government of India. For example, a person in the highest tax bracket investing Rs. 100,000 in PPF would have saved Rs. 30,000+Edu.Cess from tax under Sec 80C.

ULIP: (Unit Linked Insurance Plans): [EEE]

In true sense a combination of Investment fund and Insurance policy.

Minimum Limit: Rs. 10,000 (sub to policy) with additional contribution of Rs. 1,000. Maximum limit: no maximum limit (subject to policy limits). Age of the investor: 0-65 years.( as per plan).

Note: usually ULIPs are good if you below the age 55 and if you have knowledge of mutual fund or stock market, it will be added advantage.

ULIPs contain some chargers as allocation, mortality, fund management and administration of policy, which needed to be borne by investor. LIFE INSURANCE [EEE]

Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured (or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was established in 1956 to spread the message of life insurance in the country and to mobilize people's savings for nation-building activities. The main features of LIC are given below: 1. Saving Institution: Life insurance both promotes and mobilizes saving in the country. The income tax concession provides further incentive to higher income persons to save through LIC policies. The total volume of insurance business has also been growing with the spread of insuranceconsciousness in the country. The total new business of LIC during 1995-96 was Rs. 51815 crore sum assured under 10.20 lakh policies. The LIC business can grow at still faster speed if the following improvements are made: The organizational and operational efficiency of the LIC should be increased. (i) New types of insurance covers should be introduced. (ii) The services of LIC should be extended to smaller places. (iii) The message of life insurance should be made more popular.

16 | P a g e II

PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

(iv) The general price level should be kept stable so that the insuring public does not get cheated of a large amount of the real value of its long-term saving through inflation. 2. Term Financing Institution: LIC also functions as a large term financing institution (or a capital market) in the country. The annual net accrual of investible funds from life insurance business (after making all kinds of payments liabilities to the policy holders) and net income from its vast investment are quite large. During 1994-95, LIC's total income was Rs. 18,102.92crore, consisting of premium income of Rs. 1152, 80 crore investment income of Rs. 6336.19crore, and miscellaneous income of Rs. 238.33crore. 3. Investment Institutions: LIC is a big investor of funds in government securities. Under the law, LIC is required to invest at least 50% of its accruals in the form of premium income in government and other approved securities. LIC funds are also made available directly to the private sector through investment in shares, debentures, and loans. LIC also plays a significant role in developing the business of underwriting of new issues. 4. Stabilizer in Share Market: LIC acts as a downward stabilizer in the share market. The continuous inflow of new funds enables LIC to buy shares when the market is weak. However, the LIC does not usually sell shares when the market is overshot. This is partly due to the continuous pressure for investing new funds and partly due to the disincentive of the capital gains tax.

ABOUT MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY Definition: Mutual Fund is a pool of money, collected from investors, and is invested according to certain investment objective. Mutual Fund is the pooling of Money from the retail investors to the corporate investors for Sustainable growth of the investments. Introduction:A Mutual Fund is a pool of money, collected from investors, and is invested according to certain investment objectives with a common financial goal. A Mutual Fund is created when investors put their money together. The most important characteristic of a mutual fund is that the contributors and the beneficiaries of the fund are the same class of people, namely the investors. The money thus collected is invested by the fund manager in different type of securities depending upon the objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to debentures to money market instruments. The income earned by these instruments and the capital appreciation realized by the scheme are 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 portfolio at a relatively low cost. Each Mutual Fund scheme has a defined investment objective and strategy. Characteristics: 21 | P a g e II PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

A mutual fund actually belongs to the investors who have pooled their funds. A mutual fund is managed by investment professionals and other service providers, who earn a fee for their services, from the fund. The pool of funds is invested in a portfolio of marketable investments. The value of the portfolio is updated every day. The investors share in the fund is denominated by units. The value of the units changes with change in the portfolios value, every day. Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart

History of the Indian Mutual Fund Industry: The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank of India. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases. First Phase: 1964-1987 An Act of Parliament established Unit Trust of India (UTI) on 1963. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the RBI. 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 crores of AUM. Second Phase: 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds) 22 | P a g e II PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

In 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. 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 industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996.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 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.

Risk Associated With Mutual Fund:-

23 | P a g e II

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

Interest Rate Risk Bond price move inversely to changes in interest rate. If interest rate go up bond price come down and vice-versa changes in bond price will affect the NAV of income funds since NAV is compiled on a daily basis, the effect of interest rate fluctuation will get reflected in the NAV. Liquidity Risk this prefers to at which security can be sold at or near its true value. The primary assessment of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by dealer. Credit Risk Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk that on investors of a fixed income security may default. Because of the risk, debentures are sold at a fixed spread above these offered a treasury security, which are considered as risk free. Normally, fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the actual changes in the provided level of credit risk and actual event of default. Market Risk the prices of shares are subject to wide price fluctuations depending upon market conditions over which nobody have 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.

Mutual Funds offer several benefits to an investor that are unmatched by the other investment options. Last six years have been the most turbulent as well as exiting ones for the industry. New players have come in, while others have decided to close shop by either selling off or merging with others. Product innovation is now pass with the game shifting to performance delivery in fund management as well as service. Those directly associated with the fund management industry like distributors, registrars and transfer agents, and even the regulators have become more mature and responsible. 1.Affordability: Small investors with low investment fund are unable to invest in high-grade or blue chip stocks. An investor through Mutual Funds can be benefited from a portfolio including of high priced stock. 2.Diversification: Investors investment is spread across different securities (stocks, bonds, money market, real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and different sectors (auto, textile, IT etc.). This kind of a diversification add to the stability of returns, reduces the risk for example during one period of time equities might underperform but bonds and money market instruments might do well do well and may protect principal investment as well as help to meet return objectives. 3.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 4.Professional Management: Mutual Funds employ the services of experienced and skilled professionals and dedicated investment research team. The whole team analyses the performance and balance sheet of companies and selects them to achieve the objectives of the scheme. 5.Tax Benefits: Depending on the scheme of mutual funds, tax shelter is also available. As per the Union Budget-99, income earned through dividends from mutual funds is 100% tax free. Under ELSS of open-ended equity-oriented funds an exemption is provided up to Rs. 100,000/- under section 80C.

6.Regulation: All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the provisions of strict regulations designed to protect the interests of investors. The operations of Mutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI.

Other Benefits Potential Return: Over a medium to long-term, Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a higher return as they invest in a diversified basket of selected securities. Low Costs: Mutual Funds are a relatively less expensive way to invest compared to directly investing in the capital markets because the benefits of scale in brokerage, custodial and other fees translate into lower costs for investors. Liquidity: In open-ended schemes, investor can get money promptly at net asset value related prices from the Mutual Fund itself. In close-ended schemes the units can be sold on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or avail of the facility of direct repurchases at NAV related prices which some close-ended and interval schemes offer you periodically. Transparency: Mutual Funds have to disclose their holdings, investment pattern and the necessary information before all investors under a regulation framework. Flexibility: Investment in Mutual Funds offers a lot of flexibility with features of schemes such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans and dividend reinvestment plans; you can systematically invest or withdraw funds according to your needs and convenience.

PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd DISADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUND:

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

The following are the disadvantages of investing through mutual fund: No control over cost: - Since investors do not directly monitor the funds operations, they cannot control the costs effectively. Regulators therefore usually limit the expenses of mutual funds. No tailor-made portfolio: Mutual fund portfolios are created and marketed by AMCs, into which investors invest. They cannot made tailor made portfolio. Managing a portfolio of funds: As the number of funds increase, in order to tailor a portfolio for himself, an investor may be holding portfolio funds, with the costs of monitoring them and using hem, being incurred by him. Delay in Redemption: The redemption of the funds though has liquidity in 24hours to 3 days takes formal application as well as needs time for redemption. This becomes cumbersome for the investors. Non-availability of loans: Mutual funds are not accepted as security against loan. The investor cannot deposit the mutual funds against taking any kind of bank loans though they may be his assets.

They help in pooling of funds and investing in large basket of shares of different companies. Thus by investing in diverse companies, mutual funds can protect against unexpected fall in value of investment. An average investor does not have enough time and resources to develop professional attitude towards their investment. Here professional fund managers engaged by mutual funds take desirable investment decision on behalf of investors so as to make better utilization of resources. Investment in mutual funds is comparatively more liquid because investor can sell the units in open market or can approach mutual fund to repurchase the units at net asset value depending upon the type of scheme. Investors can avail tax rebates by investing in different tax saving schemes floated by these funds, approved by the government.

CHAPTER NO 3:- RESEARCH METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY OF STUDY Research Methodology is a systematic method of discovering new facts or verifying old facts, their sequence, inter-relationship, casual explanation and the natural laws which governs them. Research Methodology explained by Redman and Mory are as follows systematized effort to gain new knowledge Research Methodology is original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making fir its advancement. It is the purist of truth with the help of study. Observation, Comparison and Experiment. In short also covers the systematic method findings solution to a problem is research. It also covers the systematic approach concerning generalization and the formulation of the theory. Different stages involved in research consists of enacting the problem, formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain conclusion either in the form of solution towards the concerned problem or in generalization for some theoretical formulation. In Research Methodology mainly Data plays an important role. THE DATA IS DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS: Primary Data Secondary Data.

35 | P a g e II

PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

Primary data is the data, which is collected directly personal interview, interview, indirect oral investigation, Information received through local agents, drafting a schedule, drafting a questionnaire. Secondary data is the data, which is collected from the various books, magazine and material, reports, etc. The data which is stored in the organization and provide by the HR people are also secondary data. Various information is taken out regarding that subject as well other subject from various sources and stored. The last years data stored can also be secondary data. This data is kept for the internal use of the organization. This is the Research Methodology used in the project. The primary and secondary data method has been used in this project. Unless the data is collected no project can be complete. So both these data is very important in the project. The research instrument used for this survey is a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire contains both open-ended and closed-ended questions. The questionnaire provides a provision with respect to rating scales.

Research Design The research design adopted is a combination of exploratory, formal and descriptive. Since the study is based on a hypothesis so it is formal and it has certain elements of exploration as well. And since the study is related with measuring where or whether, it is descriptive in nature.

ASSUMPTIONS: The sample selected represents the population fully. The data has been collected by administering a close-ended questionnaire of end investor with the assumption that the primary data collected is true and reflects the actual preference of the investors/traders. The sample selected has thorough knowledge of the subject of share. It has been assumed that sample of 50 respondents represents the whole population. 36 | P a g e II PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

The information given by the customer is unbiased.

SAMPLING METHOD: The sampling method so as to obtain a representative sample is the Non-probability sampling methods. Under Non-probability sampling, the question addressed the basic questions relating different avenues of investment have they invested in any investment avenues before their purpose of investment time for which they would like to invest etc. . A random sample of 50 people was taken. I selected the respondent to the survey on the basis of judgment sampling with convenience taken into account.

To achieve the above objective of the study, the following instruments were used: QUESTIONNAIRES: THEY CONSISTS OF A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS PRINTED OR TYPED IN A definite order on a form or a set of forms. The respondents have to answer the questions themselves. To do the above research, we used a structured questionnaire which had 9 questions about the respondents interest and Knowledge. SAMPLE DESIGN: A sample is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to the technique or procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample. POPULATION DEFINITION:

Element: Business Men, Builders, Industrialists, Exporters, Senior Citizens, CAs, CSs and others. Sample Unit: Pune City Sampling Method: Simple Random Sampling

37 | P a g e II

PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd Sample Size: 50

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

Data collection: Through directories, Previous records through friends and relatives. Development of Working Hypothesis The Hypothesis was developed by discussing with the concerning department heads and guides about this exploratory research and reached to the conclusion that the data is to be collected by personal interactions with the customers asking them about the services their knowledge about Investments, their satisfaction level and the improvements they wanted or any additional services which they expected.

Collection of Data There was secondary data available for the study courtesy the company itself and primary data was collected by carrying out a survey through personal interviews of the customers. The sample size was 50. A sample is a representative of the population which will predict the behavior of the whole population. The sampling size is put under two categories: Probability sampling and non-probability sampling. Probability Sampling This is the process of selecting the elements or group of elements from a well-defined population by such procedure which gives every element in the population an equal chance of being selected for observation. The sampling method use for this survey is area sampling which is a sub type of probability sampling.

Sampling Size 38 | P a g e II PGDM-

Summer Internship Ltd

Ifians Corporate Service Pvt.

Large sample gives reliable result than small sample. However, it is not feasible to target entire population or even a substantial portion to achieve a reliable result. So, in this aspect selecting the sample to study is known as sample size. Hence, for my project my sample size was 50. The Sample Size of 50 is not enough to draw a conclusion but as per the time assigned it was difficult to take a sample size more than 50. The Sample Size consists of both the Service and Business class people. Execution of the Survey Accuracy of the findings depends on how systematically the study has been carried out in time so that it can make some sense when required. I have executed the project after prior discussion with the guide and structured in the following steps: Preparation of questionnaire: I was assigned a location there I used to talk to many of their employees and as there were many IT companies alongside I would find many people nearby and during their free time I used to talk to them about their investment and ask them to fill the questionnaire. Interview of the customers so that more interaction is possible and all varieties of responses can be registered to have a good data for analysis. Visiting the corporate and requesting their feedback on the investments services they are availing and also try to find out their satisfaction level with their existing investments.
