INVESTMENTS:
Cash investments:
Short-term obligations, usually ninety days or less, that provide a return in the form of
interest payments.
Cash investments are short-term, interest-bearing securities that offer investors the
opportunity to collect a specified interest rate, keep a high level of security and maintain liquidity
with their money. The most commonly used cash investments are bank savings accounts,
certificates of deposits (CDs), and money market funds. Some employer-sponsored retirement
plans may offer guaranteed investment contracts, which are another form of cash investments.
Cash investments are best used for emergency funds. This is money you want to have some
return on, but if you needed it, you could have it in hand very quickly. This may also be money
that you would like to invest in the near future, but haven’t quite decided which investments are
right for you. Because these investments are highly liquid, they tend to offer lower returns than
other investments might. Most of these investments also don’t have any surrender charges for
withdrawing the money.
Debt securities:
This type of investment gives returns in the form of fixed periodic payments and the
fixed capital appreciate at maturity. This is safe bait for the investors in the investment industry
and has always proved to be the risk free investment tool. Though, it is generally low in risks, the
returns are also lower than the other peer securities.
Stocks:
Investors can also buy stocks (equities) from the secondary markets and be a part of any
business corporates that are listed in the bourses. By this way, one can become the part of the
profits that the company generates. But one should remember that stocks are generally more
volatile and carries more risk than bonds.
Mutual funds:
They are usually a collection of stocks and bonds that a fund manager selects for an
investor such that the returns are maximum. The investor does not have to track the investment,
be it a bond, stock- or index-based mutual funds.
Derivatives:
Derivatives are financial contracts, whose value is derived from the value of the
underlying assets like equities, commodities and bonds. They can take the form of futures,
options and swaps. Investors choose derivatives as they are used to minimize the risk of loss that
result from variations in the underlying asset values.
Commodities:
The items that are traded on the commodities market are agricultural and industrial
commodities and they need to be standardized. Commodities trading have always been giving
high returns and thus they are the riskiest of all investment options. One, who trades in
commodities, requires specialized knowledge and analytical capabilities.
Real estate:
Investing in real estate has to be a long term affair. Funds get hooked into the real estate
sector for a considerable time period.
MUTUAL FUNDS
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common
financial 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 realised 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 basket of securities at a
relatively low cost. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund.
In the above graph shows how Mutual Fund works and how investor earns
money by investing in the Mutual Fund. Investors put their saving as an
investment in Mutual Fund. The Fund Manager who is a person who takes the
decisions where the money should be invested in securities according to the
scheme’s objective. Securities include Equities, Debentures, Govt. Securities,
Bonds, and Commercial Paper etc. These Securities generates returns to the Fund Manager. The
Fund Manager passes back return to the investor.
Bond/Income Funds
Income funds are named appropriately: their purpose is to provide current income on a steady
basis. These terms denote funds that invest primarily in government and corporate debt. While
fund holdings may appreciate in value, the primary objective of these funds is to provide a steady
cashflow to investors.
Bond funds are likely to pay higher returns than certificates of deposit and money market
investments, but bond funds aren't without risk. Because there are many different types of bonds,
bond funds can vary dramatically depending on where they invest. There are three types of
bonds,
Hybrid Funds
The objective of these funds is to provide a balanced mixture of safety, income and capital
appreciation. The strategy of balanced funds is to invest in a combination of fixed income and
equities. A typical balanced fund might have a weighting of 80% equity and 20% debt. The
weighting might also be restricted to a specified maximum or minimum for each asset class.
Equity funds:
Funds that invest in stocks represent the largest category of mutual funds. Generally, the
investment objective of this class of funds is long-term capital growth with some income. There
are, however, many different types of equity funds because there are many different types of
equities.
The idea is to classify funds based on both the size of the companies invested in and the
investment style of the manager. The term value refers to a style of investing that looks for high
quality companies that are out of favor with the market. These companies are characterized by
low P/E and price to book and high dividend yield. The opposite of value is growth, which refers
to companies that have had (and are expected to continue to have) strong growth in earnings,
sales and cash flow. A compromise between value and growth is blend, which simply refers to
companies that are neither value nor growth stocks and are classified as being somewhere in the
middle.
• Large caps
• Mid caps
• Small caps
Large caps
A term used by the investment community to refer to companies with a market capitalization
value of more than $10 billion. Large cap is an abbreviation of the term "large market
capitalization". Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of a company's
shares outstanding by its stock price per share.
Mid caps
A company with a market capitalization between $2 and $10 billion. Mid cap is an abbreviation
for the term "middle capitalization".
Small caps
Refers to stocks with a relatively small market capitalization. The definition of small cap can
vary among brokerages, but generally it is a company with a market capitalization of between
$300 million and $2 billion.
ALTERNATE ASSETS:
A security that sells like a stock on the major exchanges and invests in real estate
directly, either through properties or mortgages.
Individuals can invest in REITs either by purchasing their shares directly on an open
exchange or by investing in a mutual fund that specializes in public real estate. An additional
benefit to investing in REITs is the fact that many are accompanied by dividend reinvestment
plans (DRIPs). Among other things, REITs invest in shopping malls, office buildings,
apartments, warehouses and hotels. Some REITs will invest specifically in one area of real estate
- shopping malls, for example - or in one specific region, state or country. Investing in REITs is a
liquid, dividend-paying means of participating in the real estate market.
REITs receive special tax considerations and typically offer investors high yields, as well
as a highly liquid method of investing in real estate.
Equity REITs
Equity REITs invest in and own properties (thus responsible for the equity or value of
their real estate assets). Their revenues come principally from their properties rents.
Mortgage REITs
Mortgage REITs deal in investment and ownership of property mortgages. These REITs
loan money for mortgages to owners of real estate, or purchase existing mortgages or mortgage-
backed securities. Their revenues are generated primarily by the interest that they earn on the
mortgage loans.
Hybrid REITs
Hybrid REITs combine the investment strategies of equity REITs and mortgage REITs
by investing in both properties and mortgages.
Private Equity
Equity capital that is not quoted on a public exchange. Private equity consists of investors and
funds that make investments directly into private companies or conduct buyouts of public
companies that result in a delisting of public equity. Capital for private equity is raised from
retail and institutional investors, and can be used to fund new technologies, expand working
capital within an owned company, make acquisitions, or to strengthen a balance sheet.
The majority of private equity consists of institutional investors and accredited investors who can
commit large sums of money for long periods of time. Private equity investments often demand
long holding periods to allow for a turnaround of a distressed company or a liquidity event such
as an IPO or sale to a public company.
Debentures
A type of debt instrument that is not secured by physical asset or collateral. Debentures are
backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the issuer. Both corporations and
governments frequently issue this type of bond in order to secure capital. Like other types of
bonds, debentures are documented in an indenture.
BALANCED FUNDS
• Has a portfolio of debt instrument, convertible securities, preference
and equity shares.
• Almost equal proportion of debt/money market securities and equities.
Normally funds maintain a ratio of 55:45 or 60:40 some funds allocate
a flexible proportion based on market conditions.
• Aim is to gain income, capital appreciation and preservation of capital.
• Ideal for investors for a conservative and long term orientation.
Load Funds
A Load Fund is one that charges a commission for entry or exit. That is, each time you buy or
sell units in the fund, a commission will be payable. Typically entry and exit loads range from
1% to 2%. It could be worth paying the load, if the fund has a good performance history.
No-Load Funds
A no-Load Fund is one that does not charge a commission for entry or exit. That is, no
commission is payable on purchase or sale of units in the fund. The advantage of a no load fund
is that the entire corpus is put to work.
Other Schemes
Tax saving Schemes
These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of the Indian Income
Tax laws as the Government offers tax incentives for investment in specified avenues.
Investments made in Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) and pension Schemes are
allowed as deduction u/s 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Act also provides opportunities to
investors to save capital gains u/s 54EA by investing in Mutual Funds, provided the capital asset

investment of these funds is limited to specific industries like InfoTech, FMCG and
Pharmaceuticals etc.

the NSE 50 Portfolio Management In Mutual Funds

Sector Funds are those, which invest exclusively in a specified industry or a group of industries
or various segments such as 'A' Group shares or initial public offerings.
Advantages of Mutual Funds
• Economies of scale - Because a mutual fund buys and sells large amounts of securities at a
time, its transaction costs are lower than what an individual would pay for securities transactions.
• Liquidity- Just like an individual stock, a mutual fund allows you to request that your shares be
converted into cash at any time.
• Simplicity - Buying a mutual fund is easy! Pretty well any bank has its own line of mutual
funds, and the minimum investment is small. Most companies also have automatic purchase
plans whereby as little as $100 can be invested on a monthly basis.
• Professional Management - Many investors debate whether or not the professionals are any
better than you or I at picking stocks. Management is by no means infallible, and, even if the
fund loses money, the manager still gets paid.
• Dilution - It's possible to have too much diversification. Because funds have small holdings in
so many different companies, high returns from a few investments often don't make much
difference on the overall return. Dilution is also the result of a successful fund getting too big.
When money pours into funds that have had strong success, the manager often has trouble
finding a good investment for all the new money.
• Taxes - When a fund manager sells a security, a capital-gains tax is triggered. Investors who
are concerned about the impact of taxes need to keep those concerns in mind when investing in
mutual funds. Taxes can be mitigated by investing in tax-sensitive funds or by holding non-tax
sensitive mutual fund in a tax-deferred account.
Reasons to invest in mutual funds
1. The average consumer does not have the time or resources to gain enough knowledge to
become a confident stock picker. Mutual fund portfolio managers have the expertise and
resources to do the required in-depth research needed before an investment is approved.
2. Mutual funds invest in a broad range of securities. Mutual fund unitholders can benefit from
diversification usually available only to individual investors wealthy enough to buy significant
positions in a wide variety of securities.
3. Index funds are appropriate for investors who are willing to settle for average returns. Many
well-managed mutual funds outperform the indexes year after year, providing superior returns
for unitholders. Returns are not the only criteria to examine when choosing a mutual fund.
4. The fees paid to mutual funds companies and managers are well worth the services and
benefits provided to the investor i.e.: diversification, professional management, record keeping,
liquidity, etc. There are fees in any investment product. For example, if you invest in GICs, you
pay a fee called a spread.
5. When a fund disburses capital gains to its investors, it means it is making money for its
investors. Capital gains distributions, as well as income and dividend distributions, can be
converted into more fund units, which will continue to grow in value.
6. If you have personal ethical standards such as preferring environmentally friendly companies,
you have the option of choosing from the wide range of funds that are designed specifically to
invest in companies that meet certain ethical criteria.
7. Financial advisors have their clients' best interests at heart when recommending a fund.
Financial advisors must recommend funds that suit the clients' individual goals and objectives.
8. One of the major benefits of investing in mutual funds is liquidity. You can easily sell your
units any time you need cash. Fund companies are required to buy back redeemed units whereas
shares sold on the open market can only be sold if there is a demand for that stock.
9. With over 1,800 mutual funds available, there is a wide range of mutual fund choices with
varying fees. Management fees should not be the most important consideration when choosing a
fund. If a fund is offering superior returns, a higher-than-average management fee may not be an
issue.
10. Mutual fund investors continue to believe in the mutual fund product. The industry has
grown from $25 billion in assets under management in 1990 to $317 billion in 1998 as the
confidence in mutual funds as an investment product continues to grow.
RISK PROFILE OF CUSTOMERS:
Types of Investor:
1. Cautious Investor:
It’s kind of investor who is less bothers about high returns. He wants to
lower down his risk profile and demand for fixed income on his
investment. His main objective of investment is fixed returns with less
risk.
2. Balanced Investor:
It’s a kind of investor who is bothers about returns as well as risk. He
wants moderate returns with moderate risk.
3. Aggressive Investor:
It’s a kind of investor who is ready to take risk. He believes in high risk
and high returns. So he only wants to invest in equity schemes.
Portfolio Management In Mutual Funds
I have made an assumption that each investor want to invest 5 Lakh Rs.
TAXATION
Taxation refers to the act of a taxing authority actually levying tax. Taxation as a term applies to
all types of taxes, from income to gift to estate taxes. It is usually referred to as an act; any
revenue collected is usually called "taxes."
Equity oriented mutual funds are those mutual funds which invest more than 65% of their funds
in equities. Dividend income received from such mutual funds is exempt from tax for domestic
investors. If an investor sells their equity oriented mutual funds then any capital gains on those is
also not taxable. But to qualify for this exemption the investor should have sold the mutual funds
one year after its purchase. However Securities Transaction Tax (STT) should be paid on equity
oriented mutual funds at 0.25% when the units are sold back to the mutual fund.
For funds other than equity oriented funds the tax of dividend is zero, but long term capital gains
i.e. gains on mutual funds sold after a period of one year are taxed at either 10 or 20% depending
on whether indexation has been used or not.

DIVIDEND STRIPPING:
Dividend stripping refers to using dividends declared by a mutual fund to lower one's tax
liability. If you expect a mutual fund to declare a dividend soon, you can buy its units before the
record date.
When the fund declares a dividend, the NAV will go down, and that is the amount you will
receive as dividend. And when the record date for dividend payment is over, you can sell these
units. What you end up with is a capital loss and a dividend. Since dividend paid by equity funds
is tax free as compared to 10 per cent you pay on short-term capital gains, the tax liability stands
reduced. In addition to that ,the investor can claim for the loss when he invest before 3 months
and exit after 9 months of period.
