CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION
Investment refers to the process of commitment of funds with the objective of earning additional income or capital appreciation or both. Savings form an important part of the economy of any nation. With savings invested in various options available to the people, the money acts as the driver for growth of the country. Indian financial scene too presents multiple avenues to the investors. Though certainly not the best or deepest of markets in the world, it has ignited the growth industry to provide rate in mutual fund
to invest his savings. Investment goals vary from person to person. While somebody wants security, others might give more weightage to returns alone. Somebody else might want to plan for his childs education while somebody might be saving for life after retirement. With objectives defying any range, it is obvious that the products required will vary as well. Today an investor has a lot of investment alternatives to choose from in the market such as shares, debentures, mutual funds, Government securities etc.The investor has to make a wise choice keeping in mind various factors such as objective of investment, risk associated with the
investment, tax benefits, liquidity, marketability etc. But it is not an easy task for the investor to identify the right avenue for
investment due to many investment constraints such as lack of resources and time to conduct research etc. 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 according to the funds objectives. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciations realized 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 one investment vehicle that has truly come of age in India in the past decade is mutual funds. Today,the mutual fund industry in the country manages around Rs 7, 81,583.84 crores (As of Feb, 2010) of assets, a large part of which comes from retail investors. And this amount is invested not just in equities, but also in the entire amount of debt instruments. Mutual funds have emerged as a proxy for investing in avenues that are out of reach of most retail investors, particularly government securities and money market instruments.
Specialization is the order of the day, be it with regard to a schemes investment objective or its targeted investment universe. Given the plethora of options on hand and the hard-sell adopted by mutual funds vying for a piece of your savings, finding the right scheme can sometimes seem a bit daunting. Mind you, its not just about going with the fund that gives you the highest
returns. Its also about managing riskfinding funds that suit your risk appetite and investment needs.
CONCEPT OF THE MUTUAL FUND: The securities and exchange board of India regulations.1993 defines a mutual fund as a fund
established in the form of a trust by a sponsor, to raise monies by the trustees through the sale of units to the public, under one or more schemes, for investing in securities in accordance with these regulations. 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 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
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:-
Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) that pools up the money from individual/corporate investors and invests the same on behalf of the investors/unit holders, in Equity shares, Government the
profits. In the other words, a Mutual Fund allows investors to indirectly take a position in a basket of assets. Mutual Fund is a mechanism for pooling the resources by issuing units to the investors and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as disclosed in offer document. Investments in securities are spread among a wide cross-section of industries and sectors thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the same
direction in the same proportion at same time. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders. The investors in
proportion to their investments share the profits or losses. The mutual funds normally come out with a number of schemes with different investment objectives which are launched from time to time. A Mutual Fund is required to be registered with Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds from the public.
INVESTORS EARN FROM A MUTUAL FUND IN THREE WAYS: 1. Income is earned from dividends declared by mutual fund
schemes from time to time. 2. If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital gain. This is reflected in the price of each unit. When investors sell these units at prices higher than their purchase price, they stand to make a gain. 3. If fund holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund's unit price increases, the mutual fund units can be sold for a profit. This is amounts to a valuation gain. Though still at a nascent stage, Indian MF industry offers a plethora of schemes and serves broadly all type of
investors. The range of products includes equity funds, debt, liquid, gilt and balanced funds. There are also funds meant exclusively for young and old, small and large investors. Moreover, the setup of a legal structure, which has enough teeth to safeguard investors interest, ensures that the investors are not cheated out of their hardearned money. All in all, benefits provided by them cut across the boundaries of investor category and thus create for them, a universal appeal. Investors of all categories could choose to invest on
their own in multiple options but opt for mutual funds for the sole reason that all benefits come in a package.
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. At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47, 004 Crores
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.
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. 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. As at the end of September, 2004, there were 29 funds, which manage assets of Rs.153108 crores under 421 schemes.

Investors avail the services of experienced and skilled professionals who are backed by a dedicated investment research team, which analyses the performance and prospects of companies and selects suitable investments to achieve the objectives of the scheme.
Diversification:
Mutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a broad gross-section of industries and sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do all stocks declare at the same time and in the same proportion. Investors achieve this diversification through a Mutual Fund with far less money than they can do on their own.
Convenient Administration:
Investing in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps to avoid many problems such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and unnecessary follow up with brokers and companies. Mutual Funds save time and make investing easy and convenient.
Return Potential:
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 cost for investors.
Liquidity:
In open-ended schemes, investors can get their money back promptly at net asset value related prices from the mutual fund itself. With close-ended schemes, they can sell their units on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or avail of the facility of direct repurchase at NAV related prices which some close-ended and interval schemes offer periodically.
Transparency:
Investors get regular information on the value of their investment in addition to disclosure on the specific
investments made by the scheme, the proportion invested in each class of assets and the fund managers investment strategy and outlook.
Flexibility:
Through features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal Plans and dividend reinvestment plans, investors can systematically invest or Withdraw funds according to their needs and convenience.
Choice of Schemes:
Mutual funds offer a family of schemes to suit the varying needs Over the lifetime of their investors.
Well Regulated:
All mutual funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the strict Regulations designed to protect the interest of investors. The operations of Mutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI.
2. No Customized Portfolios:
The portfolio of securities in which a fund invests is a decision taken by the fund manager. Investors have no right to interfere in the decision making process of a fund manager, which some investors find as a constraint in achieving their financial objectives.
4. Taxes:
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from 20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. If a fund makes a profit on its sales, the investor will pay taxes on the income he receives, even if he reinvests the money he made.
5. Management risk:
When an investor invests in a mutual fund, he depends on the fund's manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as he had hoped, he might not make as much money on his investment as he had expected. Of course, if the investor invests in the Index Funds, he foregoes management risk, because these funds do not employ managers
BY STRUCTURE:
1. Open-end Funds:
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through the year. These funds do not have a fixed maturity and investors can conveniently buy and sell its units at Net Asset Value ("NAV") related prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is its liquidity.
2. Closed-end Funds:
A closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging from 3 to 15 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period and investors can invest in the scheme only at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where they are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the Mutual Fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor.
3. Interval Funds:
Interval funds combine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes. They are open for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.
BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
1. Growth/Equity Oriented Funds:
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over a period of time usually medium to long term. Such schemes normally invest a majority of their corpus in equities. It has been proved that returns from stocks, have outperformed most other kind of investments held over the long term. Growth schemes are ideal for investors having a long term outlook seeking growth over a period of time.
3. Balanced Funds:
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such schemes periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. In a rising stock market, the NAV of these schemes may not normally keep pace, or fall equally when the market falls. These are ideal for investors looking for a combination of income and moderate growth.
OTHER SCHEMES:
1. 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 and 54EB by investing in Mutual Funds.
3. Index Funds:
The corpus of the Index Fund is invested in the index stocks and it attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE Nifty.
4. Gilt Funds:
These funds invest exclusively in Government securities. Government securities have no default risk. NAVs of these funds also fluctuate due to interest rate changes and other economic factors as is the case with income or debt oriented schemes.
5. Sectoral Funds:
Sectoral Funds are those which invest exclusively in a specified sector. This could be an industry or a group of industries or various segments such as 'A' Group shares or initial public offerings.
6. 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.
7. 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.
9. Fund of Funds:
Mutual funds that do not invest in financial or physical assets, but do invest in other mutual fund schemes offered by different AMCs, are known as Fund of Funds. Fund of Funds provide investors with an added advantage of diversifying into different mutual fund schemes with even a small amount of investment, which further helps in diversification of risks.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MUTUAL FUNDS:Investing in Mutual Funds, as with any security, does not come without risk. One of the most basic economic principles is that risk and reward are directly correlated. In other words, the greater the potential risk the greater the potential return. The Types of risk commonly associated with Mutual Funds are:
1. Market Risk:
Market risk relates to the market value of a security in the future. Market prices fluctuate and are susceptible to economic and financial trends, supply and demand, and many other factors that cannot be precisely predicted or controlled.
2. Political Risk:
Changes in the tax laws, trade regulations, administered prices, etc are some of the many political factors that create market risk. Although collectively, as citizens, we have indirect control through the power of our vote individually, as investors, we have virtually no control.
3. Inflation Risk:
Interest rate risk relates to future changes in interest rates. For instance, if an investor invests in a long-term debt Mutual Fund scheme and interest rates increase, the NAV of the scheme will fall because the scheme will be end up holding debt offering lower interest rates.
4. Business Risk:
Business risk is the uncertainty concerning the future existence, stability, and profitability of the issuer of the security. Business risk is inherent in all business ventures. The future financial stability of a company cannot be predicted or guaranteed, nor can the price of its securities. Adverse changes in business circumstances will reduce the market price of the companys equity resulting in proportionate fall in the NAV of the Mutual Fund scheme, which has invested in the equity of a such company.
5. Economic Risk:
Economic risk involves uncertainty in the economy, which, in turn, can have an adverse effect on a companys business. For instance, if monsoons fail in a year, equity stocks of agriculturebased companies will fall and NAVs of Mutual Funds, which have invested in such stocks, will fall proportionately

3. HDFC Balanced Fund- Growth 4. Tata Balanced Fund- Growth 5. SBI Magnum Balanced Fund- Growth

This non probability method is often used during preliminary research efforts to get a gross estimate of the results, without incurring the cost or time required to select a random sample.
SOURCES OF DATA:
Primary Data:
Primary data refers to the data that has been collected for the first time for a research. Primary data has been collected from the respective fund houses websites and also from the scheme brochures.
Secondary Data
Secondary data is the data that have been already collected by and readily available from other sources. The secondary data has been collected from various websites, magazines, books etc
The study considers data for only a limited period of time. The study is based only on selected 5 schemes therefore limiting the area of research.
1. Beta:
It measures the systematic risk and shows how prices of securities respond to the market forces. It is calculated by relating the return on a security with return for the market. By convention, market will have beta 1.0 Mutual fund is said to be volatile, more volatile or less volatile. If beta is greater than 1 the stock is said to be riskier than market. If beta is less than 1, the indication is that stock is less risky in comparison to market. If beta is zero then the risk is the same as that of the market. Negative beta is rare. Beta is calculated as:
2. Standard deviation:
It is used to measure the variation in individual returns from the average expected return over a certain period. Standard deviation is used in the concept of risk of a portfolio of investments; higher standard deviation means a greater fluctuation in expected return.
(x-x') N-1
Where 2 : Variance of Return : Standard Deviation of Return X : Return for the stock in period x' : Arithmetic Return N : Number of periods
3. Sharpe index:
Sharpe index was given by WF Sharpe in 1966, it measures risk premium of a portfolio, relative to the total amount for risk in the portfolio. Sharpe index summarizes the risk and return of a portfolio in a single measure that categorizes the performance of funds on the risk-adjusted basis. The larger the Sharpe Index, the portfolio over performance the market and vice versa. Sharpe Index = [Portfolio Average Return (Rp) Risk Free Rate of Interest (Rt) ]/ Standard Deviations of the Portfolio Return
4. Treynors Index:
It was given by Jack Treynor in 1965, it is expressed as a ratio of returns to systematic risk i.e., beta. It adjusts return based on systematic risk; therefore it is relevant for performance measurement when evaluating portfolios separately or in combination with other portfolios. Treynor Index = [Portfolio Average Return (Rp)-Risk Free Rate of Interest (Rt)] / Beta Coefficient of Portfolio
5. Jensen Measures:
It is a regression of excess fund return with excess market return given by MC Jensen in 1968. It is also popularly known as Jensens alpha based on Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). It reflects the difference between the return actually
earned on a portfolio and the return the fund was expected to earn, given its beta as per the CAPM.

CHAPTER-4
INDIAN MUTUAL FUND INDUSRTY
The Indian mutual fund industry has evolved from single player in 1964 to a fast growing, competitive market on the back of a strong regulatory framework. The Indian mutual fund industry currently consists of 38 players offering close to 1000 schemes with total Assets under Management (AUM) of Rs. 7,81,583.84 crores. The Assets under Management (AUM) have grown at a rapid pace over the past few years, at a CAGR of 35 % for the five-year period from 2005 to 2009. Over the 10-year period from 1999 to 2009 encompassing varied economic cycles, the industry grew at 22 % CAGR. The industry has witnessed a shift has changed drastically in favour of private sector players, as the number of public sector players reduced from 11 in 2001 to 5 in 2009.India has been amongst the fastest growing markets for mutual funds since 2004; in the five-year period from 2004 to 2008 (as of Dec) the Indian mutual fund industry grew at 29 % CAGR as against the global average of 4 percent. The Indian mutual fund industry is in a relatively nascent stage in terms of its product offerings, and tends to compete with Government securities. As of Dec 2008, the total number of mutual fund schemes was 1,002 in comparison to 10,349 funds in the US. However, despite clocking growth rates that are amongst the highest in the world, the Indian mutual fund industry continues to be a very small market; comprising 0.32 % share of the global AUM of USD 18.97 trillion as of December 2008. The increase in revenue and profitability in the Indian mutual fund industry has not been Commensurate with the AUM growth in the last 5 years. The AUM grew at 35 % CAGR in the period from 2005 to 2009, while the profitability of AMCs declined from 24 % in FY 2004 to 14 % in FY 2008. The public sector has gradually ceded market share to the private sector. Public sector mutual funds comprised 21 percent of the AUM in 2009 as against 72 percent AUM share in 2001. While the mutual fund industry in India continues to be metro and urban
centric, the mutual funds are beginning to tap Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns as a vital component of their growth strategy.

CHAPTER-5
DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
The following tools have been used to measure the performance of the selected mutual fund Schemes in terms of return and risk.
1.RETURN:
Rate of return (ROR), also known as return on investment (ROI), rate of profit or sometimes just return, is the ratio of money gained or lost (whether realized or unrealized) on an investment relative to the amount of money invested. The amount of money gained or lost may be referred to as interest, profit/loss, gain/loss, or net income/loss. Here returns on mutual funds refer to the amount gained or lost by an investor on the investments in mutual funds. Absolute returns are considered which refers to the return that an asset achieves over a certain period of time: Table-1: Showing Returns of the Funds (1 yr)
COMPANY NAME Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund-Growth Kotak Balance-Growth HDFC Balanced Fund-Growth Tata Balanced Fund-Growth SBI Magnum Balanced Fund-Growth RETURN 16.2 18.39 37.2 29.07 18.63
Any investor would like to maximize the returns on the investments and therefore mutual Fund which delivers the highest returns will be selected. Here the absolute returns are Considered for the past one year period. It can be observed that HDFC Balanced Fund Growth has yielded the highest return (37.2%) of all the selected mutual funds. Tata Balanced Growth has earned the next highest returns, followed by SBI Magnum Balanced Fund G, kotak Balance. Franklin Templeton India Balanced G has delivered the lowest return (16.2%) among all the funds.
2. BETA:
The degree, to which different portfolios are affected by these systematic risks as compared to the effect on the market as a whole, is different and is measured by Beta. Beta measures the volatility of a fund relative to a particular market benchmark i.e. how sensitive the fund is to market movements. It is calculated by relating the return on a security with return for the market. By convention, market will have beta 1. If beta is greater than 1 the security is said to be riskier than market. If beta is less than 1, the indication is that security is less risky in comparison market. For example, a Beta of 1.1 would indicate that if the market goes up 10%, the fund might rise 11% and vice versa in a down market. Table-2: Showing Beta of the Funds:
COMPANY NAME Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund-Growth Kotak Balance-Growth HDFC Balanced Fund-Growth Tata Balanced Fund-Growth SBI Magnum Balanced Fund-Growth . BETA 0.93 0.86 0.91 0.94 1.05
A Fund with a lesser Beta is a better choice for an investor as it would be less volatile. Kotak Balance has the lowest Beta value among all the above funds which means it is comparatively less volatile. HDFC Balanced Fund Growth has the next lowest Beta, followed by Franklin Templeton Balanced Fund, Tata Balanced growth, and etc. SBI Magnum Balanced Fund G has the highest Beta value among all the above funds which means it is comparatively high volatile.
3. STANDARD DEVIATION
Standard Deviation is a statistical tool, used to measure the variation in individual returns from the average expected return over a certain period. Standard deviation is used in the concept of risk of a portfolio of investments; higher standard deviation means a greater fluctuation in expected return. It is denoted by sigma ().
A higher standard deviation means that the returns of the fund have been more volatile than a Fund having low standard deviation. In other words high standard deviation means high risk. Kotak Balance has the lowest SD which means it is comparatively less risky to the other funds as its returns are less volatile. HDFC Balanced Fund has the next lowest SD, followed by Tata Balanced Fund, Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund. SBI Magnum Balanced Fund has the highest SD among all the funds which means it is Comparatively more risky as its returns are more volatile.
4. SHARPEs RATIO
Sharpes Ratio measures risk premium of a portfolio, relative to the total amount for risk in The portfolio. It was given by William Sharpe. It measures the excess return (i.e., risk Premium) per unit of total risk. It is one of the most widely used tool to measure the Performance of a mutual fund. Higher Sharpe ratio means higher returns for the same risk level. Table-4: Showing Sharpes Ratio of the Funds:
FUND Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund-Growth Kotak Balance-Growth HDFC Balanced Fund-Growth Tata Balanced Fund-Growth SBI Magnum Balanced Fund-Growth SHARPES RATIO -0.09 -0.14 -0.1 -0.13 -0.11
Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund has the highest Sharpes ratio (-0.09) which means it has outperformed all the other funds, as higher the Sharpes Ratio higher the performance of the mutual fund. HDFC Balanced Fund has the next highest Sharpes ratio, followed by SBI Magnum Balanced Fund, Tata Balanced Fund. Kotak Balance has the lowest Sharpes ratio (-0.14) among all the selected funds, which means it has yielded very less returns for the same risk level.
5. TREYNORS RATIO:
Treynors ratio is used to measure excess return per unit of risk, based on systematic risk (the beta of a portfolio versus the benchmark). It was given by Jack Treynor. Risk averse investors prefer the value to be high.
Higher the Treynors ratio betters the returns of the mutual fund. Franklin Templeton India Balanced G has the highest Treynors ratio (-0.37), which means it has yielded better returns over all the other funds at the same risk level. HDFC Balanced Fund Growth has the next highest Treynors ratio followed by SBI Magnum Balanced Fund G, Tata Balanced Growth.
Kotak Balance has the lowest Treynors ratio (-0.56) of all the selected funds, which shows it has earned very less returns.
6. JENSENs MEASURE:
Jensens measure reflects the difference between the return actually earned on a portfolio and the return the portfolio was expected to earn, given its beta as per the CAPM. It is a regression of excess fund return with excess market return given by MC Jensen. Jensens measure is similar to Treynors measure; both focus only on non-diversifiable risk By using Beta Jensens measure is preferred as it automatically adjusts for market return Through its use of the CAPM. Table-6: Showing Jensens Measure of the Funds
FUND Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund-Growth Kotak Balance-Growth HDFC Balanced Fund-Growth Tata Balanced Fund-Growth SBI Magnum Balanced Fund-Growth JENSEN'S RATIO -5.2 -4.4 -4.9 -5.3 -6.5
As with the other two measures, the higher the Jensens measure value, the better the fund is performing. Kotak Balance-Growth is the best performing fund as it has the highest JM Value (-4.4) among all the funds. HDFC Balanced Fund has the next highest JM value, Followed by Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund, Tata Balanced Fund. SBI Magnum Balanced Fund Growth has the lowest JM value (-6.5) among all the selected funds and therefore has the lowest performance.
