Introduction

INTRODUCTION

A mutual fund is a trust which pools the savings of a number of investor who
share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is invested by the fund
manager in different types of securities depending upon the objectives of scheme. These
could range from shares to debentures to money market instrument. The income earned in
these investments and the capital appreciation realized by the scheme is shared by its unit
holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them.
There are a lot of avenues available today in the financial market for an investor
with an investable surplus. He can invest in bank deposits, corporate debentures, and
bonds where there is low risk but low return. He may invest in stock of companies where
the risk is high and the returns are proportionately high. The recent trend in stock market
has shown that an average retail investor always lost with periodic bearish trends. People
began opting for portfolio managers with expertise in stock markets who would invest on
your behalf. Thus we had wealth management services provided by many institutions.
However they proved too costly for small investor. These investors have found a good
shelter with mutual funds.
Like most developed and developing countries the mutual fund cult has been
catching on in India. The reason for this interesting occurrence is:
1. Mutual fund makes it easy and less costly for investors to satisfy their needs for
capital growth, income and/or income preservation.
2. Mutual fund brings the benefits of diversification and money management to the
individual investor, providing an opportunity for financial success that was once
available only to a select few select few.
Research Objective:
1. To understand the performance of Various Mutual Funds using various tools.
2. To measure and compare the performance of selected mutual funds scheme of
different mutual fund companies and other asset management companies.
3. To give a brief idea about the benefits available from the Mutual Fund investment.
4. To give an idea of types of schemes available.
5. Explore the recent developments in the mutual fund of India.
6. To give an ideas about the regulations of Mutual Funds
Scope of Project:
3

The schemes were categorized and selected on evaluating their performance and
relative risk. The scope of the project was mainly concentrated on the different category
of mutual fund such as equity schemes
Research Methodology
The data required for the study is mainly collected from the secondary data
source.
Secondary data source include:

Published material and annual reports of mutual fund companies.

Other published material of mutual funds.
Research based online portals.
Unpublished source also.

Sample profile:
The sample required for the study has been selected through random sampling method
from the available list of mutual fund schemes in the company. Broadly the sample of
nine mutual fund schemes related to equity funds.
The study has taken broad categories of:Equity Shares
Findings and Analysis
The collection of this information is based on the secondary probe. The information has
been collected through various books and internet. An attempt has been made to evaluate
the performance of the selected mutual fund schemes. Performance of mutual fund
schemes has been evaluated by using the following performance measures

Analyzing Mutual Fund using:4

1. Alpha:I came to know how particulars Mutual Fund schemes performed related to what
it was expected to do.
2. Beta:By comparing mutual funds on the basis of beta we come to know how volatile a
particular mutual fund is related to stock market is.
3. Mean:The simple mathematical average of a set of two or more numbers. The mean for
a given set of numbers can be computed in more than one way, including the arithmetic
mean method, which uses the sum of the numbers in the series, and the geometric mean
method.
4. Standard Deviation:The standard deviation of fund measures the risk by measuring the degree to
which the fund fluctuates in relation to its mean return.

5. Sharpes Ratio:A higher Sharpes ratio is better as it represents a higher return generated per unit
of risk.
6. N.A.V:NAV shows how much return an investor will get after liquidation of his mutual
fund.
7. CAPM:A model that describes the relationship between risk and expected return and that
is used in the pricing of risky securities.

Need of the Study

5

1. The need of study arises for learning the variables available that distinguishing the
mutual fund of a company.
2. To know the risk and return associated with mutual fund.
3. To choose the best company for mutual investment for large cap, mid & small
cap, diversified equity funds and others.

Limitations:
1. To get an insight in the process of risk and return and deployment of funds by
fund manager is difficult.
2. The project is difficult to analyze each and every scheme of mutual funds to
create the awareness about risk and return.
3. The risk and return of mutual fund schemes can change according to the market
conditions.

Industry Profile: Mutual Funds

It has been a little over 20 years since the asset management industry was opened up to
the entry of new players. The objective was to expand the business by widening and
depending the market for asset management products. The inclusion of asset management
products in the basket of traditional investment avenues such as cash-in-hand, corporate
and fixed deposits (FDs) saving accounts, stocks and gold was accepted to occur over
time.
Financial intermediaries become fund sponsors when they create and operate mutual
funds. Such funds are a type of Investment Company that pools money from the investing
public and collectively invests this money in stocks, bonds and money market
instruments. A mutual fund provides individual investors with a convenient form of
investing, professional management, broad diversification and liquidity.
The purpose of this tutorial is to show the investing public how to use a simple eightpoint, fund evaluation technique to select and monitor a mutual fund. But first we are
going to step back and put the mutual fund business into historical perspective, review
the operational workings of a fund and look at some of the broad issues related to today's
mutual fund industry.

HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS

8

The Indian mutual fund industry has come a long way since the inception of UTI
in 1963.
According to AMFI the evolution of industry can be broadly divided into four phases,
which mark its transaction from the period when UTI ruled the roost to a period of
competition and increased awareness among investors.
First Phase (1964-87)
UTI remained the only Mutual Fund player in the country till 1987. UTI started
its operation in July 1964 with a view to encouraging saving and investments and
participation in the income, profits and gains accruing to the corporation from the
acquisition, holdings, management and disposal of securities. UTI witnessed a slow and
steady growth over the 1970s and 1980s and by the end of 1988 it had a AUM of
Rs.67bn. It still constitutes to be the largest player in the domestic mutual fund industry
with AMU of RS.23500 cr. as on March 31st, 2005.
Second phase (1987-93)
Public sector mutual fund set up by public sector banks, Life Insurance
Corporation of India entered the market in 1987. The first known UTI fund was the SBI
mutual fund established in June 1987, followed by Canara Bank Mutual Fund in India in
December 1987, 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 set up its
mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its mutual fund in December 1990.
During this period the total asset of the industry grew to about Rs.610bn with the total
No. of schemes increasing to about 167 by the end of 1994.
Third Phase (1993-2003)
This phase marked the entry of private sector funds. The phase also signaled the
intensification of the competition. Both domestic and foreign players entered the market,
offering a wide variety of schemes to investors. Kothari Pioneer Mutual fund was the first
private sector fund. To be established to be established in association with the foreign
funds. The opening up of the market to private players saw the international players like
Morgan Stanley, Jar Dine Fleming, JP Morgan, George Soros and Capital International
entering the market.
Fourth Phase (Since Feb 2003)
In February 2003 the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 was repealed and UTI was
bifurcated into two segments entities: Specified undertaking of the Unit Trust of India,
which is still under the government of India, and the UTI Mutual Fund Limited. This was
done in the wake of the severe payment crisis that the UTI suffered on an account of its
assured returns schemes of US 64 was the first scheme launched by UTI with the
significant equity exposure and the returns of which are not linked to the market.
Current Scenario
9

The Indian Mutual fund industry has witnessed considerable growth since its
inception in 1963. The assets under management (AUM) have surged to Rs.4,173 billion
in Mar-09 from just Rs.250 million in Mar-65. In a span of 10 years (from 1999 to 2009),
the industry has registered a CAGR of 22.3%, albeit encompassing some shortfalls in
AUM due to business cycles.
The impressive growth in the Indian Mutual fund industry in recent years can
largely be attributed to various factors such as rising household savings, comprehensive
regulatory framework, favorable tax policies and introduction of several new products,
investor education campaign and role of distributors.
In the last few years, households income levels have grown significantly, leading
to commensurate increase in households savings. Household financial savings (at current
prices) registered growth rate of around 17.4% on an average during the period FY04FY08 as against 11.8% on an average during the period FY99-FY03. The considerable
rise in households financial savings, point towards the huge market potential of the
Mutual fund industry in India.
Besides, SEBI has introduced various regulatory measures in order to protect the
interest of small investors that augurs well for the long term growth of the industry. The
tax benefits allowed on mutual fund schemes (for example investment made in Equity
Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS) is qualified for tax deductions under section 80C of the
Income Tax Act) also have helped mutual funds to evolve as the preferred form of
investment among the salaried income earners.
Besides, the Indian Mutual fund industry that started with traditional products like
equity fund, debt fund and balanced fund has significantly expanded its product portfolio.
Today, the industry has introduced an array of products such as liquid/money market
funds, sector-specific funds, index funds, gilt funds, capital protection oriented schemes,
special category funds, insurance linked funds, exchange traded funds, etc.

What Is A Mutual Fund?

Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of number of investors who share a
common goal the money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments
such as shares, debentures and other securities. 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 and low risk.
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of mutual fund:

16

 Organization of Mutual Fund:There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the
organizational set up of a mutual fund.

17

Organization Of Mutual Fund

A mutual fund is a setup in the form of trust, which has sponsor, trustees, asset
management company(AMC), and custodian. The trust is established by sponsor or more
than one sponsor who is like a promoter of company. The trustee of mutual fund holds its
property for the benefit of unit holders. Asset management company (AMC) approved by
SEBI manages the funds by making investments in various types of securities. Custodian,
who registered with SEBI, holds these securities of the fund unit custody the trusties are
vested with the general power of superintendence and direction over AMC. They monitor
the performance and compliance of SEBI regulations by mutual funds.
SEBI regulations require that at least two third of the directors of trustee company
or board of trustees must be independent i.e. they should not be associated with sponsors.
Also 50% of the directors of the AMC must be independent. All mutual funds are
required to be registered with SEBI before they launch their schemes.

Types of Mutual Funds

Getting a handle on whats under the hood helps you become a better investor and put
together a more successful portfolio. To do this one must know the different types of
funds that cater to investor needs, whatever the age, financial position, risk tolerance and
18

return expectations. The mutual fund schemes can be classified according to both their
investment objective (like income, growth, tax saving) as well as the number of units (if
these are unlimited then the fund is an open ended one while if there are limited units
then the fund is close-ended).

Types of funds

LIQUIDITY
OPEN-ENDED SCHEMES
CLOSE-ENDED SCHEMES

INVESTMENT
GROWTH SCHEMES
INCOME SCHEMES
BALANCED SCHEMES
MONEY-MARKET SCHEMES

OTHERS
TAX-SAVING SCHEME
SPECIAL SCHEMES

Classification According To Liquidity Structure:

OPEN-ENDED SCHEMES
When a fund is accepted and liquidated on a continuous basis by a MF Manager, It
is called as open ended scheme. The fund manager buys and sells units constantly as
19

demanded by the investor. The capitalization of the fund changes constantly as it is

always open for the investor to buy or sell the units. The scheme provides excellent
liquidity facility to the investors. The buying and selling of units takes place at a declared
NAV (Net Asset Value).
.
CLOSE-ENDED SCHEMES
Schemes that have stipulated maturity period, limited capitalization and the units
are listed on the stock exchange are called close-ended schemes.
These schemes have historically seen a lot of subscription. This popularity is estimated to
be on account of firstly, public sector Mutual Funds having floated a lot of close-ended
income schemes with guaranteed returns and secondly easy liquidity on account of listing
on the stock exchanges.
Classification According To Investment Objectives:
OBJECTIVE
Mutual funds have specific investment objectives such as growth of capital, safety
of principal, current income or tax-exempt income. In general mutual funds fall into three
general categories:
Equity fund invest in shares or equity of companies. Fixed-income funds invest in
government or corporate securities that offer fixed rates of return. Balanced funds invest
in a combination of both stocks and bonds.

GROWTH FUNDS
It is MF schemes that offer the advantage of capital appreciation f the underling
investment such fund invest in growth oriented securities that are capable of appreciating
in he long run. The risk attached with such funds is relatively higher.
INCOME FUNDS
This scheme is customized to suit the needs of investors who are particular about
regular returns. The scheme offers maximum current income where by the income earned
by the units is distributed periodically there are two types of schemes, one that earns the
target constant income at relatively low risk while the other offers maximum possible
income.

BALANCED FUNDS
Such schemes have a mix of debt and equity in their portfolio of investments. The
portfolio is often shifted between debt and equity depending upon the prevailing market
conditions.
20

MONEY MARKET FUND /LIQUID FUNDS

For the cautious investor, these funds provide a very high stability of principal
while seeking a moderate to high current income. They invest in highly liquid, virtually
risk free, short term debt securities of agencies of the Indian government, banks and
corporations and treasury bills. Because of their short-term investment, money market
mutual funds are able to keep a virtually constant unit price; only the yield fluctuates.
Other Schemes

TAX SAVING SCHEME

Certain MF schemes offers tax rebate on investments made in equity shares under
section 88 of income tax act. Income may be periodically distributed depending on
surplus. Subscriptions made up to Rs.10000 are eligible for tax rebate under section 88
for such scheme. The investment of the scheme includes investment in equity, preference
shares and convertible debentures and bonds to the extent 80-100% and rest in money
market instrument.
Special Funds

SECTOR FUNDS
Such fund invests in specific sectors of the economy. The specialized sectors may
include real state, infrastructure, oil and gas etc., offshore investments, commodities like
gold and silver.

INDEX FUNDS
Index funds generally bus shares in all the companies composing the BSESENSEX or NSE-NIFTY or other broad stock market indices. They are not suitable for
investors who must conserve their principal or maximize current income.
GILT FUNDS
These funds seek to generate returns through investments in govt. securities. Such
funds invest only in central and state govt. securities and REPO/ reverse REPO securities.
A portion of the corpus may be invested in call money markets to meet liquidity
requirements. Such funds carry very less risk. There prices are influenced only by
moment in interest rates.

Advantages Of Mutual Fund:The advantages of investing in a mutual fund are:

21

Diversification:
Mutual funds invest in a broad range of securities. This limits investment risk by
reducing the effect of a possible decline in the value of any one security. Mutual fund
units holders can benefit from diversification techniques usually available only to
investors wealthy enough to buy significant positions in a wide variety of securities.
Professional Management:
Most mutual fund pay top light professionals to manage their investments. These
managers decide what securities the fund will buy and sell.

Regulatory Oversight:
Mutual funds are subject to many government regulations that protect investor
from fraud.

Liquidity:
It is easy to get your money out of a mutual fund. Write a cheque, make a call and
youve got the cash.
Convenience:
You can usually buy mutual fund shares by mail, phone or over the Internet.
Low Cost:
Mutual fund expenses are often no more than 1.5% of your investment. Expenses
for index funds are less than that, because index funds are not actively managed. Instead
they automatically buy stock in companies that are listed on a specific index.

Transparency:
Mutual fund schemes are said to be transparent because they show the clear
allocation of funds to Investors.
Flexibility:
Mutual funds are flexible because they change time to time and also if investor
wants his money back for the maturity of fund he/she can easily redeem it.

Drawbacks of Mutual Funds:Mutual funds have their drawbacks and may not be for everyone:
22

1. 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.
2. Fees and commissions:
All funds charge administrative fees to cover their day-to-day expenses. Some
funds also charge sales commission or loads to compensate brokers, financials
consultants, or financial planners. Even if you dont use a broker or other financial
advisor, you will pay a sales commission if you buy shares in a load fund.
3. Taxes:
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from 20
to 70percent 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 u reinvests the money you made.
4. Management Risk:
When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on the funds manager to make the
right decisions regarding the funds portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as
u 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.

Net Asset Value (NAV)

The net asset value of the fund is the cumulative market value of the asset fund
net of its liabilities. In other words, if the fund is dissolved or liquidated, by selling off all
the assets in the fund, this is the amount that the shareholders would collectively own.
23

This gives rise to the concept of net asset value per unit, which is the value,
represented by the ownership of one unit in the fund. It is calculated simply by dividing
the net asset value of the fund by the number of units. However, most people refer
loosely to the NAV per unit as NAV, ignoring the per unit. We also abide by the same
convention.
Calculation of NAV
The most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the asset owned by
the fund. Once it is calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of the assets divided by
the number of units outstanding. The detailed methodology for the calculation of the asset
value is given below.
Asset value is equal to Sum of market value of shares/debentures
+Liquid assets/cash held, if any
+Dividends/interest accrued
Amount due to unpaid assets expenses accrued but not paid
How Long To Keep Investment To Get Maximum Returns:Get desired returns technically open ended funds you can withdraw your investments
even within a week, but to positive time frame is required are:
Funds
Time Period
Equity Funds
Balanced Funds
MIPs
Income Funds
Liquid Funds

3 Years (plus)
18 Months to 3 Years
1 Year (plus)
6 Months to 1 Year
Few days to 6 Months

What returns can I expect if I keep my money for suggested time frames:Funds
Sector funds
Balanced Funds
MIPs
Income Funds
Liquid Funds

Returns
22% to 25% p.a
15% to 18% p.a
12% to 15%p.a
10% to 12%p.a
7% to 9%p.a

The previous mentioned returns in the table are indicative and not assured. All
investments in MUTUAL FUNDS are securities and are subject to market risk and the
NAVs of the schemes may go up and down depending upon the factors and forces
affecting the securities market including the fluctuations in the internal rates. The past
performance of the mutual funds is not indicative of future performance.

The above graph shows the Risk and Returns generated by different funds. Liquid

are directly proportional to each other. Other funds like equity funds, balanced funds and
equity funds are also fives the same percentage of Returns as the Risk involved.
Mutual Fund Investing Strategies:
1) Systematic Investment Plan (SIPs) :
These are best suited for young Peoples who have started their careers and needs to build
their wealth. Sips entail the investors to invest a fixed sum of money at regular intervals
in a mutual fund scheme the investor as chosen, an investor opting for a sip in xyz mutual
fund scheme will need to invest certain sum of money every month/quarter/half yearly in
the scheme. By investing through sip, one ends up buying more units when the price is
low and fewer units when the price is high. However, over a period of time these market
fluctuations are generally averaged. And the average cost of the investment is often
reduced. It is far better to invest small amount of money regularly, rather than save up to
make a large investment this is because while saving is in the lump sum, it may not earn
much interest.
2) Systematic withdrawal plan (SWPs):

25

These plans are suited for people nearing retirement, In these plans, an investor invest in
a mutual fund scheme and is allowed to withdraw a fixed sum of money it regular
intervals to take care of its expenses.
3) Systematic Transfer Plan (STPs):
They allow investor to transfer on a periodic basis specified amount from one scheme to
another with in the same fund family-meaning two schemes belonging to the same
mutual fund. A transfer will be treated as redemption of units from the scheme from
which the transfer is made. Such redemption or investment will be at the applicable NAV.
This service allows the investor to manage is investments actively to achieve his objects.
Many funds do not even charge any transaction fees for his service-an added advantage
for the active investor.
Association of mutual funds in India:
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 organization. Association of
mutual fund in India (AMFI) was incorporated on 22nd august 1995.
AMFI is an apex body of all asset management companies (AMC), which has
been registered with SEBI. Till date all the AMCs are that have launched mutual fund
schemes are its members. It functions under the supervision and guidelines of its Board

Recent Trends in Mutual Funds Industry

The most important trends in the mutual funds industry is the aggressive
expansion of the foreign owned mutual fund companies and decline of the companies
floated by nationalized banks and smaller private sector players, Many nationalized bank
got into the mutual fund business in the early nineties and got off to a good start due to
the stock market boom prevailing then. These bank did not really understand mutual fund
business and they just viewed it as another kind of banking activity.
Few hired specialized staff and generally chose to transfer staff from the parent
organizations. The performance of most of the schemes floated by these funds not good.
Some schemes had offered guaranteed returns and their parent organizations had
to bail out these AMCs by paying large amount of money as the difference between the
guaranteed and actual returns. The service level were also very bad.
Most of these AMCs have not been able to retain staff, float new schemes etc. and
it is doubtful whether, barring a few exception, they have serious plans of continuing the
activity in a major way. The experience of some of the AMCs floated by private sector
27

Indian companies was also very similar. They quickly realized that the AMC business is a
business, which makes money in the long term and requires deep-pocketed support in the
intermediate years.
Some have sold out to foreign owned companies, same have merged with other
and there is general restructuring going on. The foreign owned companies have deep
pockets and come in here with the expectation of a long haul. They can be credited with
introducing many new practices such as new product innovation, sharp improvement in
services standards and disclosure, usage of technology, broker education and support etc.
In fact they forced the Industry to upgrade itself and service level of organizations like
UTI have improved dramatically in the last few years in response to the competition
provided by these.

Comparative Analysis Of Mutual Fund

Beta:

85.
It describes the relationship between the stocks returns and the index
returns. The beta value may be interpreted in the following manner, a 1% change in
Nifty index would cause a 1.024% (beta) change in the particular fund. It is the slope of
characteristics regression line.
86.
87.
It signifies that a fund with a beta of more than 1 willrise more than the
market and also fall more than the market. Thus, if one likes to beat the market on the
upside, it is best to invest in a high-beta fund. But one must keep in mind that such a fund
will also fall more than the market on the way down. So, over an entire cycle, returns
may not be much higher than the market.
88.
89.
Similarly, a low beta fund will rise less than the market on the way up and
lose less on the way up and lose less on the way down. When safety of investment is
important, a fund with beta of less than one is a better option. Such a fund may not gain
more than the market on the upside but it will protect returns better when market falls.

115. Alpha:
116.
117. It indicates that the stock return is independent of the market return. If the
portfolio is well diversified, the alpha value would turn out to be zero. The intercept of
characteristic regression line is alpha.
118.
119. Alpha shows whether the particular fund has produced returns justifying
the risks it is taking by comparing its actual return to the one predicted by beta.
120.
121. Alpha can be seen a measure of a fund managers performance. This is
what the fund has earned over and above (or under) what it was expected to earn. Thus
this is the value added (or subtracted) by the fund managers investment decisions. This
can be clearly seen from the fact that index fund always have or should have, if they track
their index perfectly, an alpha of zero.
122.
123. Thus, a passive fund has an alpha of zero and an active funds alpha is a
measure of what the fund managers activity has contributed to the funds returns. On the
whole the positive alpha implies that a fund has performed better than expected, given its
level of risk. So, higher the alpha better the returns.

168.
169. Sharp ratio is similar to tenors ration the difference being, instead of beta we take
standard deviation. As standard deviation represents the total risk experienced by the

fund, it reflects the returns generated by undertaking all possible risks. A higher Sharpes
ratio is better as it represents a higher return generated per unit of risk.

arithmetic mean method, which uses the sum of the numbers in the series, and the
geometric mean method. However, all of the primary methods for computing a simple
average of a normal number series produce the same approximate result most of the time.

of an investment or portfolio to determine the potential range of future performance and
excess the probability of that performance. Standard deviation can be calculated for an
individual security or for the entire portfolio.

CONCLUSION
1990.
1991.
In order to study the concept of mutual fund we should note that a mutual
fund is trust that pools the money of several investors and manages investment on behalf.
The fund collects this money from investors through various schemes. Each scheme is
differentiated by its objectives of investments or in other words a broadly defined purpose
of how the collected money is going to be involved.
1992.
1993. Investor invests in mutual fund due to following advantages: they have
professional management, diversification, convenient administration, return potential,
low cost, liquidity.
1994.
1995. By comparing the above mentioned schemes I came to know the risk and
return relation between the specified schemes. Therefore investors before investing in any
Mutual Fund scheme they should study the risk and return relation. And if the risk and

return is been matched with their planning, then only the investors should go for Mutual
Fund schemes.
1996.
1997. So the future of mutual funds in India is bright, because it meets investors
needs perfectly. This will give boost to Indian investors and will attract foreign investors
also. It will lead to the growth of strong institutional framework that can support the
capital markets in the long run.
