 ABSTRACT

This project mainly emphasize on the mutual fund. This project was mainly done with an
objective to know the funds performance, load structure, fund snapshot, funds average AUM,
regarding indices, regarding equity market, debt market, and regarding forex market. Having
gone through over past few months fact sheet, I found that all equity & debt scheme’s
performance had been changed in every month.
Now coming about the concept of mutual fund. Mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling the
resources by issuing units from the investors and investing funds in securities in accordance with
objectives as disclosed in offer document. Investments in securities are spread across a wide
cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the
risk because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same
time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by
them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.
The profits or losses are shared by the investors in proportion to their investments. 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 and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI) which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds
from the public.
Mutual fund is divided into three categories, large cap, medium cap and small cap. Apart from
this, mutual fund have different schemes such as Open-ended Fund/ Scheme, close -ended Fund/
Scheme, Growth / Equity Oriented Scheme, Balanced Fund, Index Fund etc. There are various
plans and investments of mutual fund such as one time investment, SIP (Systematic Investment
Plan), ELSS (Equity Limited Savings Schemes), Automatic Investment Plan, Automatic
Withdrawal Plan and Growth/ Income Plan.
Apart from these, NAV (Net Assets Value) is an important term used in mutual fund. The NAV
per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by the total number of units of the
scheme on any particular date. The performance of a scheme is reflected in its net asset value
(NAV) which is disclosed on daily basis in case of open-ended schemes and on weekly basis in
case of close-ended schemes.
Like all financial products, Mutual funds have advantages and limitation. The advantages are
diversification, professional management, regulatory oversight, liquidity etc. And the limitations
attached to it are no guarantees of profit, management risk, fees and commissions included with
these are very high.

Now the important question arise how to invest in a scheme of a mutual fund. Mutual funds
normally come out with an advertisement in newspapers publishing the date of launch of the new
schemes. Investors can also contact the agents and distributors of mutual funds who are spread all
over the country for necessary information and application forms. Forms can be deposited with
mutual funds through the agents and distributors who provide such services. Nowadays, the post
offices and banks also distribute the units of mutual funds. However, the investors may please
note that the mutual funds schemes being marketed by banks and post offices should not be taken
as their own schemes and no assurance of returns is given by them. The only role of banks and
post offices is to help in distribution of mutual funds schemes to the investors. Investors should
not be carried away by commission/gifts given by agents/distributors for investing in a particular
scheme. On the other hand they must consider the track record of the mutual fund and should take
objective decisions.
Next comes how to choose the scheme for investment from a number of schemes available. The
investors must read the offer document of the mutual fund scheme very carefully. They may also
look into the past track record of performance of the scheme or other schemes of the same mutual

3
fund. They may also compare the performance with other schemes having similar investment
objectives. Though past performance of a scheme is not an indicator of its future performance and
good performance in the past may or may not be sustained in the future, this is one of the
important factors for making investment decision. In case of debt oriented schemes, apart from
looking into past returns, the investors should also see the quality of debt instruments which is
reflected in their rating. A scheme with lower rate of return but having investments in better rated
instruments may be safer. Similarly, in equities schemes also, investors may look for quality of
portfolio. They may also seek advice of experts. Almost all the mutual funds have their own web
sites. Investors can also access the NAVs, half-yearly results and portfolios of all mutual funds at
the web site of Association of mutual funds in India (AMFI) www.amfiindia.com. AMFI has also
published useful literature for the investors.
And lastly, in case of winding up of a scheme, the mutual funds pay a sum based on prevailing
NAV after adjustment of expenses. Unit holders are entitled to receive a report on winding up
from the mutual funds which gives all necessary details.
In case of any complaints investors would find the name of contact person in the offer document
of the mutual fund scheme that they may approach in case of any query, complaints or grievances.
Trustees of a mutual fund monitor the activities of the mutual fund. The names of the directors of
asset Management Company and trustees are also given in the offer documents. Investors can
also approach SEBI for redressal of their complaints. On receipt of complaints, SEBI takes up the
matter with the concerned mutual fund and follows up with them till the matter is resolved.
Investors may send their complaints to Securities and Exchange Board of India.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The basic objective of this study was to know regarding how mutual fund companies are
working in India. Apart from this to know regarding load structure of different mutual fund, funds
performance, regarding equity market, debt market and their indices. Because all are associated
with mutual fund performance. Apart from this my project objective was to know how mutual
fund industries performance is fluctuating with market volatile and also their present AUM.
To know the percentage of fund investment in equity & debt instrument of different mutual fund.

1.2 SCOPE

In this report various termology, load structure, funds performance, rank, average AUM,
changes return, indices performance and also top holding are stated which would help the
young ,fresh and without knowledgeable investors to invest in the mutual fund scheme/
company. It will also help them to incur minimum loses and give them basic idea regarding
mutual fund scheme/ company and how, when and where to invest in the mutual fund scheme/
company and it is also applicable when they withdrawal the money mutual fund scheme/
company. This report also gives recommendation and small glimpse on current mutual fund
scheme/ company.

LIMITATION
During the completion of this time was main constrains because of now a days security market
is very volatile. Along with security market, mutual fund schemes are very volatile so
information provided may vary from the actual current market position. And also mutual fund
schemes performance are also volatile and changing day to day. So the information may be
different from the actual information.

1.3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

To complete this project and prepare this report various research methods are adopted. Various
graphical and tabular representations are made in the report so as to make the report illustrative.
Apart from books and reports and magazines various sources are used like newspaper, internet
so to get updated knowledge regarding various mutual fund company, various mutual fund
scheme and their performance and also the present condition of mutual fund industry in India.

2.1 Concept of Mutual Fund
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:

Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart

2.2 History of Mutual Fund

The origin of mutual fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept of mutual fund
by UTI in the year 1963. Though the growth was slow, but it accelerated from the year 1987
when non-UTI players entered the industry.

In the past decade, Indian mutual fund industry had seen a dramatic imporvements, both
qualitywise as well as quantitywise. Before, the monopoly of the market had seen an ending
phase, the Assets Under Management (AUM) was Rs. 67bn. The private sector entry to the fund
family rose the AUM to Rs. 470 bn in March 1993 and till April 2004, it reached the height of
1,540 bn.

Putting the AUM of the Indian Mutual Funds Industry into comparison, the total of it is less than
the deposits of SBI alone, constitute less than 11% of the total deposits held by the Indian
banking industry.

The main reason of its poor growth is that the mutual fund industry in India is new in the country.
Large sections of Indian investors are yet to be intellectuated with the concept. Hence, it is the
prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to market the product correctly abreast of
selling.

6
The mutual fund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to the development of the
sector. Each phase is briefly described as under.

First Phase - 1964-87

Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set up by the
Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the
Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial Development
Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The
first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6,700
crores of assets under management.

Second Phase - 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)

Entry of non-UTI mutual funds. SBI Mutual Fund was the first 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 in 1989 and GIC in
1990. The end of 1993 marked Rs.47,004 as assets under management.

Third Phase - 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)

With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund
industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year in
which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being, under which all mutual funds, except
UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with
Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993.

The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and
revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual
Fund) Regulations 1996.
The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting
up funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions. As at the
end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores. The
Unit Trust of India with Rs.44,541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other
mutual funds.

Fourth Phase - since February 2003

This phase had bitter experience for UTI. It was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the
Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with AUM of Rs.29,835 crores (as on January
2003). The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning under an administrator and
under the rules framed by Government of India and does not come under the purview of the
Mutual Fund Regulations.

The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered
with SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the
erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76,000 crores of AUM 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.

7
 GROWTH IN ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT

Note:
Erstwhile UTI was bifurcated into UTI Mutual Fund and the Specified Undertaking of the Unit
Trust of India effective from February 2003. The Assets under management of the Specified
Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India has therefore been excluded from the total assets of the
industry as a whole from February 2003 onwards.

8
 2.3 Types of Mutual Fund
Mutual Funds are broadly classified into three categories viz. Equity Funds, Debt Funds and
Balanced Funds.

EQUITY FUNDS
These funds invest a major part of their corpus in equities. The composition of the fund may vary
from scheme to scheme and the fund manager’s outlook on various scrips. The Equity Funds are
sub-classified depending upon their investment objective, as follows:
Diversified Equity Funds
Mid-Cap Funds
Sector Specific Funds
Tax Savings Funds (ELSS)
Equity investments are meant for a longer time horizon. Equity funds rank high on the risk-return
matrix.

DEBT FUNDS
These Funds invest a major portion of their corpus in debt papers. Government authorities,
private companies, banks and financial institutions are some of the major issuers of debt papers.
By investing in debt instruments, these funds ensure low risk and provide stable income to the
investors. Debt funds are further classified as:
Gilt Funds: Invest their corpus in securities issued by Government, popularly known
as GOI debt papers. These Funds carry zero default risk but are associated with “Interest Rate”
risk. These schemes are safer as they invest in papers backed by Government.

Income Funds: The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to
investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate
debentures, Government securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky
compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity
markets. However, opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs
of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates
fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term
investors may not bother about these fluctuations.

MIPs: Invests around 80% of their total corpus in debt instruments while the rest of the
portion is invested in equities. It gets benefit of both equity and debt market. These scheme ranks
slightly high on the risk-return matrix when compared with other debt schemes.
Short Term Plans (STPs): Meant for investors with an investment horizon of 3-6
months. These funds primarily invest in short term papers like Certificate of Deposits (CDs) and
Commercial Papers (CPs). Some portion of the corpus is also invested in corporate debentures.

Liquid Funds: Also known as Money Market Schemes, These funds are meant to
provide easy liquidity and preservation of capital. These schemes invest in short-term instruments
like Treasury Bills, inter-bank call money market, CPs and CDs. These funds are meant for short-

9
term cash management of corporate houses and are meant for an investment horizon of 1day to 3
months. These schemes rank low on risk-return matrix and are considered to be the safest
amongst all categories of mutual funds.

BALANCED FUNDS

These funds, as the name suggests, are a mix of both equity and debt funds. They invest in both
equities and fixed income securities, which are in line with pre-defined investment objective of
the scheme. These schemes aim to provide investors with the best of both the worlds. Equity part
provides growth and the debt part provides stability in returns.
Each category of funds is backed by an investment philosophy, which is pre-defined in the
objectives of the fund. The investor can align his own investment needs with the funds objective
and invest accordingly.

2.4 Mutual Fund Set Up

A mutual fund is set up in the form of a trust, which has sponsor, trustees, asset management
company (AMC) and custodian. The trust is established by a sponsor or more than one sponsor
who is like promoter of a company. The trustees of the mutual fund hold its property for the
benefit of the unitholders. Asset Management Company (AMC) approved by SEBI manages the
funds by making investments in various types of securities. Custodian, who is registered with
SEBI, holds the securities of various schemes of the fund in its custody. The trustees are vested
with the general power of superintendence and direction over AMC. They monitor the
performance and compliance of SEBI Regulations by the mutual fund.

SEBI Regulations require that at least two thirds of the directors of trustee company or board of
trustees must be independent i.e. they should not be associated with the sponsors. Also, 50% of
the directors of AMC must be independent. All mutual funds are required to be registered with
SEBI before they launch any scheme. However, Unit Trust of India (UTI) is not registered with
SEBI (as on January 15, 2002).

There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the organisational set up of a
mutual fund:

Organisation of a Mutal Fund

10
2.5 Net Asset Value (NAV)

The performance of a particular scheme of a mutual fund is denoted by Net Asset Value (NAV).

Mutual funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities markets. In simple
words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the securities held by the scheme. Since market
value of securities changes every day, NAV of a scheme also varies on day to day basis. The NAV
per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by the total number of units of the
scheme on any particular date. For example, if the market value of securities of a mutual fund
scheme is Rs 200 lakhs and the mutual fund has issued 10 lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the
investors, then the NAV per unit of the fund is Rs.20. NAV is required to be disclosed by the
mutual funds on a regular basis - daily or weekly - depending on the type of scheme.

2.6 Mutual Fund Scheme

A) On the basis of Objective
Equity Funds/ Growth Funds:
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long term. Such
schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively
high risks. These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital
appreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences. The
investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual funds also allow the
investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having a
long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time.

Diversified funds:
These funds invest in companies spread across sectors. These funds are generally meant for risk-
taking investors who are not bullish about any particular sector.

Sector funds:
These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those sectors or industries as
specified in the offer documents. e.g. Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods
(FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the performance of
the respective sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns, they are more risky
compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the performance of those
sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time. They may also seek advice of an expert.

11
Index funds:
These funds invest in the same pattern as popular market indices like S&P 500 and BSE Index.
The value of the index fund varies in proportion to the benchmark index.

Tax Saving Funds:

These funds offer tax benefits to investors under the Income Tax Act. Opportunities provided
under this scheme are in the form of tax rebates U/s 88 as well saving in Capital Gains U/s 54EA
and 54EB. They are best suited for investors seeking tax concessions.

Debt / Income Funds:

These Funds invest predominantly in high-rated fixed-income-bearing instruments like bonds,
debentures, government securities, commercial paper and other money market instruments. They
are best suited for the medium to long-term investors who are averse to risk and seek capital
preservation. They provide regular income and safety to the investor.

Liquid Funds / Money Market Funds:

These funds invest in highly liquid money market instruments. The period of investment could be
as short as a day. They provide easy liquidity. They have emerged as an alternative for savings
and short-term fixed deposit accounts with comparatively higher returns. These funds are ideal
for Corporates, institutional investors and business houses who invest their funds for very short
periods.

Gilt Funds:
These funds invest in Central and State Government securities. Since they are Government
backed bonds they give a secured return and also ensure safety of the principal amount. They are
best suited for the medium to long-term investors who are averse to risk.

Balanced Funds:
These funds invest both in equity shares and fixed-income-bearing instruments (debt) in some
proportion. They provide a steady return and reduce the volatility of the fund while providing
some upside for capital appreciation. They are ideal for medium- to long-term investors willing to
take moderate risks.

Hedge Funds:
These funds adopt highly speculative trading strategies. They hedge risks in order to increase the
value of the portfolic.

12
 B) On the basis of flexibility
Open-ended Funds:
These funds do not have a fixed date of redemption. Generally they are open for subscription and
redemption throughout the year. Their prices are linked to the daily net asset value (NAV). From
the investors' perspective, they are much more liquid than closed-ended funds. Investors are
permitted to join or withdraw from the fund after an initial lock-in period.

Close-ended Funds:
These funds are open initially for entry during the Initial Public Offering (IPO) and thereafter
closed for entry as well as exit. These funds have a fixed date of redemption. One of the
characteristics of the close-ended schemes is that they are generally traded at a discount to NAV;
but the discount narrows as maturity nears. These funds are open for subscription only once and
can be redeemed only on the fixed date of redemption. The units of these funds are listed (with
certain exceptions), are tradable and the subscribers to the fund would be able to exit from the
fund at any time through the secondary market.

Interval funds:
These funds combine the features of both open-ended and close-ended funds wherein the fund is
close-ended for the first couple of years and open-ended thereafter. Some funds allow fresh
subscriptions and redemption at fixed times every year (say every six months) in order to reduce
the administrative aspects of daily entry or exit, yet providing reasonable liquidity.

C) On the basis of geographic location

Domestic funds:
These funds mobilise the savings of nationals within the country.

Offshore Funds:
These funds facilitate cross border fund flow. They invest in securities of foreign companies.
They attract foreign capital for investment. Is there is any tax applicable on the redemption of
mutual funds? Yes. The tax applicable is called as STT i.e. Security transaction tax which is
0.25%. STT is applicable only in case of redemption of equity linked schemes.

13
 2.7 Different Plans of Mutual Fund
Growth Plan and Dividend Plan:

A growth plan is a plan under a scheme wherein the returns from investments are reinvested and
very few income distributions, if any, are made. The investor thus only realises capital
appreciation on the investment. This plan appeals to investors in the high income bracket. Under
the dividend plan, income is distributed from time to time. This plan is ideal to those investors
requiring regular income.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan:

Dividend plans of schemes carry an additional option for reinvestment of income distribution.
This is referred to as the dividend reinvestment plan. Under this plan, dividends declared by a
fund are reinvested on behalf of the investor, thus increasing the number of units held by the
investors.

Automatic Investment Plan:

Under the Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) also called Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), the
investor is given the option for investing in a specified frequency of months in a specified scheme
of the Mutual Fund for a constant sum of investment. AIP allows the investors to plan their
savings through a structured regular monthly savings program.
Automatic Withdrawal Plan:

Under the Automatic Withdrawal Plan (AWP) also called Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP), a
facility is provided to the investor to withdraw a pre-determined amount from his fund at a pre-
determined interval.

2.8 Performance of Mutual Fund Scheme

Let us start the discussion of the performance of mutual funds in India from the day the concept
of mutual fund took birth in India. The year was 1963. Unit Trust of India invited investors or
rather to those who believed in savings, to park their money in UTI Mutual Fund.
For 30 years it goaled without a single second player. Though the 1988 year saw some new
mutual fund companies, but UTI remained in a monopoly position.
The performance of mutual funds in India in the initial phase was not even closer to satisfactory
level. People rarely understood, and of course investing was out of question. But yes, some 24
million shareholders was accustomed with guaranteed high returns by the begining of
liberalization of the industry in 1992. This good record of UTI became marketing tool for new
entrants. The expectations of investors touched the sky in profitability factor. However, people
were miles away from the praparedness of risks factor after the liberalization.
The Assets Under Management of UTI was Rs. 67bn. by the end of 1987. Let me concentrate
about the performance of mutual funds in India through figures. From Rs. 67bn. the Assets Under
Management rose to Rs. 470 bn. in March 1993 and the figure had a three times higher
performance by April 2004. It rose as high as Rs. 1,540bn.

14
The net asset value (NAV) of mutual funds in India declined when stock prices started falling in
the year 1992. Those days, the market regulations did not allow portfolio shifts into alternative
investments. There were rather no choice apart from holding the cash or to further continue
investing in shares. One more thing to be noted, since only closed-end funds were floated in the
market, the investors disinvested by selling at a loss in the secondary market.
The performance of mutual funds in India suffered qualitatively. The 1992 stock market scandal,
the losses by disinvestments and of course the lack of transparent rules in the whereabout rocked
confidence among the investors. Partly owing to a relatively weak stock market performance,
mutual funds have not yet recovered, with funds trading at an average discount of 1020 percent of
their net asset value.
The supervisory authority adopted a set of measures to create a transparent and competitve
environment in mutual funds. Some of them were like relaxing investment restrictions into the
market, introduction of open-ended funds, and paving the gateway for mutual funds to launch
pension schemes.
The measure was taken to make mutual funds the key instrument for long-term saving. The more
the variety offered, the quantitative will be investors.
At last to mention, as long as mutual fund companies are performing with lower risks and higher
profitability within a short span of time, more and more people will be inclined to invest until and
unless they are fully educated with the dos and donts of mutual funds.

2.9 Advantages of Mutual Fund

Mutual funds offer several advantages to investors
Affordable:
Almost everyone can buy mutual funds. Mutual Funds generally provide a opportunity to invest
with less funds as compared to other avenues in the capital market. Even the ancillary fee which
one has to pay in the form of brokerages, custodian etc is lower than other options and is directly
linked to the performance of the scheme.
Professional Management:
For an average investor, it may be quite difficult to decide what to buy, when to buy, how much to
buy and when to sell. Mutual Funds have a skilled professionals who have years of experience to
manages your money. The fund manager takes these decisions after doing adequate research on
the economy, industries and companies, before buying stocks or bonds. They use intensive
research techniques to analyze each investment option for the potential of returns.
Diversification:
Investments are less risky as it is spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors.
Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks generally don’t move in the same direction at
the same time. A mutual fund is able to diversify more easily than an average investor across
several companies.
Liquidity:
You can afford to withdraw your money from a mutual fund on immediate basis when compared
with other forms of savings like the public provident fund or National Savings Scheme. You can
withdraw or redeem money at the Net Asset Value related prices in the open-end schemes. In
closed-end schemes, the units can be transacted at the prevailing market price on a stock
exchange.

15
 Tax Benefits:
Mutual funds have historically been more efficient from the tax point of view. A debt fund pays a
dividend distribution tax of 12.5 per cent before distributing dividend to an individual investor or
an HUF, whereas it is 20 per cent for all other entities. There is no dividend tax on dividends from
an equity fund for individual investor.
Potential of returns:
Mutual funds generally offer better than any other option over a given period of time. Though
they are affected by the interest rate risk in general, the returns generated are more.

Well Regulated:
The Mutual Fund industry is very well regulated. All investments have to be accounted for. SEBI
acts as a true watchdog in this case and can impose penalties on the AMCs at fault. The
regulations are also designed to protect the investors’ interests are also implemented effectively.
Transparency:
As they are under a regulatory framework, they have to disclose their holdings, investment
pattern and all the information that can be considered as material, before all investors to ensure
transparency which is unlike any other investment option in India where the investor knows
nothing as nothing is disclosed.

2.10 Drawbacks of Mutual Fund

Mutual funds have their drawbacks. They are as follows:

No Guarantees:
No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market declines in value, the value of mutual fund
shares will go down as well, no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer
risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell stocks on their own.
However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of losing money.
Fees and commissions:
All funds charge administrative fees to cover their day-to-day expenses. Some funds also charge
sales commissions or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial planners.
Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you will pay a sales commission if you
buy shares in a Load Fund.
Taxes:
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from 20 to 70 percent
of the securities in their portfolios. If your fund makes a profit on its sales, you will pay taxes on
the income you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.
Management risk:
When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on the fund's manager to make the right decisions
regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you had hoped, you
might not make as much money on your investment as you expected. Of course, if you invest in
Index Funds, you forego management risk, because these funds do not employ managers.

16
 3.1 Association of Mutual Fund in India (AMFI )

With the increase in mutual fund players in India, a need for mutual fund association in India was

Introduction of Financial Planners who can provide need based advice.

The size of the mutual funds industry is expected to be worth Rs. 4 lakh crores by 2010 from its
current level of over Rs. 2 lakh crores, according to a study conducted by the Associated
Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham).
The study says that investors in future would prefer mutual funds for their investment destination
rather than choosing to park their funds in stock markets because of safer returns and lower
degree of risk as compared to other markets.
The Assocham study has the compilation of observations made by over 210 investors across the
country in which over 80 per cent have exuded confidence that the volumes of the Indian mutual
funds industry will keep flourishing in future. In 1987, its size was Rs.1,000 crores, which went
up to Rs. 4,100 crores in 1991 and subsequently touched a figure of Rs.72,000 crores in 1998.
Since then this figure has kept ballooning, revealing the efficiency of growth in the mutual fund
industry.
The study says that mutual funds would be one of the major instruments of wealth creation and
wealth saving in the years to come, giving positive results. The consistency in the performance of
mutual funds has been a major factor that has attracted many investors. The Indian mutual funds
industry has been growing at a healthy pace of 16.68 per cent for the past eight years and the
trend will move further.
The presence of intelligent investors has already made the investment market scenario fiercely
competitive, with in increased number of high-yielding investment opportunities. The industry
has also witnessed several mergers and acquisitions.
The study has revealed the futuristic nature of investors; they invest for future security and
certainty (54 per cent). However, there were some investors who invest in order to meet their
current requirements (38 per cent). In addition, it has been clearly indicated by the respondents
that investments that are long-term are preferred more (54 per cent) over medium-term (23 per
cent) and short-term investments (23 per cent).

 4.1 Findings & Analysis
NEWS & INDICES
EQUITY MARKET:
Highlights
• The Indian equity markets witnessed heavy selling in the month of October. The
markets were impacted by the de-leveraging and risk aversion amongst global
investors. Regulators and policy makers were active in responding to the evolving
and fluid situation. The poor corporate results in the overseas markets too
delivered a negative impact on the Indian equities markets.
• BSE Sensex and CNX Nifty ended the month at 9788 and 2886, down 23.9% and
26.4% respectively over previous month.
• The liquidity crisis in the US economy, high level of negative sentiments and
selling by funds facing liquidity pressures were factors that caused most equity
markets across the world to post heavy losses. Mid and small-cap stocks
underperformed their large cap counterparts. Amongst sectors, metals and realty
were the most affected given the sharp downshift in demand and an ensuring
decline in prices. FIIs sold stock worth $3.5 billion in October, taking the YTD
outflows to $12.9 billion.

Outlook:
In last one and half months the Indian equity markets suffer significant decline and
continued to remain volatile as cues from the global economy become clearer of an
impending slowdown. The ongoing de-leveraging and concerns about a recession in
developed economies put pressure on most asset classes across the globe. The recent
quarterly results were largely in line with expectations, with forex losses impacting net
earnings for many companies. Key consumption-oriented sectors like FMCG, telecom,
banking and pharma companies reported decent earnings.

In the near-term, markets will continue to remain under pressure due to fear of global
economic slowdown and news of many western world economies going into recession
led by the global financial crisis. India Inc will also feel the pressure for next two quarters
or so but impact of softening interest rate and commodity prices including crude oil will
start reflecting in their corporate earnings by June quarter. As equity market discounts any
event in advance, fear of economic slowdown is more or less priced in at current level
and market will stabilize at current level with short-term negative bias. But long-term
investors can start investing at current level with at least three-year investment horizon.

DEBT MARKET:
Highlights
• The Indian bond markets rallied sharply following a clear shift in the monetary
policy focus from inflation to growth. Globally, central banks resorted to
monetary easing and further rounds of liquidity injections that included
unprecedented moves such as the Fed opening up currency swap lines for
emerging economies.
• The 10-yr sovereign bond yield eased through the month as the large rate cuts by
RBI pushed yields lower. In addition, the falling crude oil prices and commodities

26
 prices almost erased all inflation fears. The benchmark 10-yr bond yield eased
from 8.63% to 7.45% in the course of the month.
• The liquidity conditions eased intermittently post policy action by RBI in the
second week. However, RBI intervention in forex markets along with increased
domestic borrowing by leading companies renewed pressures and inter-bank rates
moved up sharply to close in double digits. RBI continued to inject liquidity
through repo auctions and in addition to that announced a slew of liquidity and
other policy measures including CRR cuts.

Outlook:
The last one and half months Indian debt markets saw a sharp bull run followed by the
emergency rate cuts by RBI, as FED and other central banks also cut rates to ease
liquidity and stabilize market. Falling international crude prices and lower inflation make
case stronger for further rate cut by RBI. The RBI took a series of heavy-duty measures
to alleviate the liquidity crunch. It slashed CRR by a cumulative 350 bps and RepoRate

27
by 150 bps. RBI also opened a liquidity window for Mutual Funds, where the funds could
access liquidity against their holding of Bank CDs.

Over the near term, liquidity could tighten due to government borrowings and central
bank intervention in the forex markets. Gilt yields are likely to decline further as inflation
moderates. With softening interest rate scenario in next few months, income funds make
a strong investment case at this point of time with minimum one year of investment
horizon as declining interest rate will prove positive for income funds.

FOREX MARKET:
Highlights
• The Indian rupee plunged to record lows amidst persistent selling by FIIs and
relative dollar strength. During the month the dollar touched the historical mark of
50 against the INR. The falling rupee has brought cheer to export oriented sectors
like IT and Textiles but the government's liability is on a rise as imports still
outstrip exports by a large margin. The rupee closed the month at 49.25 against
the dollar.
• The recent forex intervention has led to depletion of forex reserves, which stood
at $258.4 billion (as of Oct 24). With this, the fiscal year-todate drop in reserves
has been $51.3 billion. RBI has indicated that it will continue to support INR
through forex interventions.

MF NEWS
MFs see biggest fall in assets in October
From a high of Rs 6 lakh crore to a low of Rs 4.3 lakh crore, that's the extent of volatility
witnessed by assets held by the Indian mutual fund industry since January this year. The
net decline in the industry's assets of 18% since September marks the highest fall ever in
average AUMs in a single month in the history of the Indian mutual fund industry. With
assets of Rs 4, 31,901 crore, the mutual fund industry, which grew its assets rapidly,
Especially over the last three years is now backing to the levels of June 2007. The global
market meltdown and the fall in valuations of the equity assets held by these fund houses
have obviously hit this industry hard since the beginning of this calendar year. However,
the major dampener last month has been the huge redemption witnessed in the Fixed
Maturity Plans (FMP) on account of credit risk concerns. Reliance, HDFC and ICICI
Prudential continue to retain the top three slots of the largest asset management
companies of the country.

Rate cut hopes spark investor fancy for gilt fund

Debt funds investing in sovereign bonds are corralling investors, lured by better returns
and relative safety, and hopes of more interest rate cuts as India tries to revive a flagging
economy. After hemorrhaging for six successive months, gilt funds attracted a net 37.25
billion rupees in October, their highest monthly inflow since the data was made available
in 1999 by the Association of Mutual Funds in India. Investors are enticed by an average
3.3 percent jump in net values of such funds in October, as yields dropped by 112 basis
points on easing monetary policy, their highest monthly gain since November 2001,
according to global fund tracker Lipper. Both retail and large corporate investors are
queuing up for funds investing into government securities after pulling out from other
fixed income funds on a widespread concern over the credit quality of bond fund
portfolios.

Union bank, KBC asset management in JV to launch MF

Union Bank of India has entered into a joint venture with a leading Belgium financial
player KBC Group to launch mutual fund business. Union Bank will have a 51 per cent
stake in the JV while the remaining will be held by the Belgian group. The initial capital
of the new company will be Rs 50 crore which would increase as the business expands.
Indian mutual fund industry has been growing at 47 per cent year-on-year over the last
five years and still the penetration levels are very low indicating the vast untapped
potential. Erwin Schoeters, managing director of KBC Asset Management, the mutual

29
fund arm of KBC group said one can break even in the mutual fund industry at an asset
under management (AUM) of about Rs 6,000 crore.

MFs introduce innovative marketing features to retain investor

In the face of sharp decline in asset base, some mutual fund houses are seeking to gain
investor confidence by introducing newer marketing features. Bharti AXA, SBIMF and
Tata Asset Management have come up with business development initiatives to draw
investor attention. Bharti AXA has introduced a product feature called 'Zero Balance
Portfolio', where the fund house will feed information about products and services on
daily basis either through email or by post. The AMC is offering the service across India
through its distribution network free of cost. Laying thrust on the Internet medium, Tata
Asset Management has uploaded an audio speech of its managing director Mr. Ved
Prakash Chaturvedi explaining investors the pros and cons of market recession with
reference to Tata's 'reasonable' scheme returns.

MFs tempt big investors with assured return

Pushed to the wall, several mutual fund (MF) houses have cut off-market deals with
corporate and financial institutions to fight the cash crunch. With redemption pressures
mounting amid a liquidity squeeze, some fund houses have given "guaranteed" returns to
big-ticket investors who were willing to bail them out by parking money in MF schemes
for a few weeks. Under the arrangement, even if the net asset value (NAV) of the scheme
dipped, these investors would be allowed to exit at a higher, pre-agreed NAV, something
that other investors in the scheme would be clueless about.

RBI aid puts mutual fund on recovery road

Almost one month after the RBI stepped in to help the mutual fund industry out of its
liquidity problems, it does appear that they are on the road to recovery, said mutual fund
officials. RBI had for the first time on October 14 introduced a 14-day liquidity window
to provide credit to mutual funds in need. This measure has greatly helped the mutual
fund industry, which is now returning to normalcy as redemption pressure has eased
considerably and inflows have started to come in, said Mr A.P. Kurian, Chairman,
Association of Mutual Funds in India. The mutual fund industry has borrowed close to Rs
20,000 crore from RBI, out of which about Rs 9,000 crore has been paid back. While the
borrowing was much less than the limits provided by RBI, the announcement of the
measures was made at the most appropriate time. While banks were not willing to lend,
RBI indicated to the banks and corporates that the Government would lend support to the
mutual fund industry, which helped improve the scenario, according to the fund
managers.

Prudential, DLF get in-principle nod for fund unit

Most valuable real estate firm, DLF Ltd, and American life insurer Prudential Financial
Inc (PFI) said they have an in-principle regulatory approval for a mutual fund venture
formed in December. The fund venture, DLF Pramerica Asset Managers Pvt Ltd, is
headed by Vijay Mantri, who joined in April from the Indian fund unit of Deutsche Bank.
DLF Pramerica joins more than 20 firms looking to break into the Indian fund industry,

30
which saw its assets grow more than four-fold to 5.5 trillion rupees in five year ending
2007.

PSU’s 30% surplus flows into MFs under Scanner

The government will soon review its policy of allowing PSUs to invest 30% of their
surplus in equity-linked public sector mutual funds. The proposal has been moved by the
department of expenditure in the ministry of finance after some companies started
withdrawing their investments from all types of mutual funds following the market
meltdown. The government may come up with new guidelines that will specify the
percentage of the surplus to be invested in equity-linked mutual funds, a source in the
government said. The proposal is being considered by various government agencies and
PSUs. The urgency for the review is felt as huge cash reserves are lying with most PSUs.
The government fears this could fall prey in the current market conditions in absence of
sound investment guidelines.

FMP exit to be made tougher

Ending widespread speculation, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
confirmed that it would make early withdrawals from Fixed Maturity Plans (FMPs)
tougher, a move that is expected to solve mutual fund's liquidity problems. SEBI sources
confirmed that new FMP schemes would have clauses that make withdrawals before
maturity difficult. FMPs faced severe redemption pressures in October. According to
October-end data, the average assets under management (AAUM) of FMPs stood at Rs
127,080 crore, down Rs 10,718 crore in a single month. Over 25 per cent of the entire
AAUM of the mutual fund industry is in this one product. According to fund managers,
SEBI is seeking to put a regulatory framework in place for these products. In the past
three years, FMPs were doing fairly well because the interest rate was on the rise. Some
schemes were even offering upto 12 per cent last month.

Systematic Investment Plan

What is Systematic Investment Plan?
Under this plan Investors invest a specific amount for a continuous period, at regular intervals. By
doing this, the investor has the advantage of rupee cost averaging and also helps him save
compulsorily a fixed amount each month. When you opt for SIP, you automatically participate in
the market swings. Your amount of investment remaining the same, you buy more number of
units in a declining market and less number of units in a rising market so that you do not panic in
turbulent market conditions. As said earlier, SIP results in rupee cost averaging, which means
that, when you invest consistently the same amount at regular intervals, your average cost per unit
will always remain lower than the average market price, irrespective of how the market is - rising,
falling or fluctuating. Where as this will not be true for a one-time investment. An SIP investor
gets phenomenal rate of return compared to a one-time investor.
Anyone can enroll for this facility by starting an account with (minimum investment amount) and
giving 6/12 post-dated cheques of periodic investment based on one's convenience.
It is very easy to become a systematic investor. All you need to do plan your savings effectively
and set aside some amount of money every month for investing in a fund - ideally a diversified
equity fund or balanced fund, since SIP is a long-term investment plan. The procedure involved is
also very simple. All you need to do is, give post-dated checks to the fund house. There is another
advantage for the investor. He is at a liberty to enter or exit from the scheme whenever he wishes
to, depending on the market conditions. So, if you want to stay calm and sell smoothly in
turbulent times go for Systematic Investment Plans.

4.2 CONCLUSION
After gone through total analysis part I found out that Last one month as on end of October
FII had withdrawn money from Debt and Equity instrument due to the world economy recession.
That’s why Equity market Indicator; all BSE Index (Key Index, Sectorial Index) had shown
negative performance, because of our stock market totally depends on foreign investor. Along
with Equity Index, Debt Index (like T-bill, OIS, and Repo Rate etc.) had shown negative
performance but some Debt Index had shown positive performance. Due to the stock market
crash our domestic investor Mutual fund was the first victim among all financial Company .
Within one month from September to October total AUM of mutual fund industry was decreased
from 6 lacs crore to 4.3 lacs crore, means total net asset was declined by 18%. That’s why day to
day mutual fund investor are losing money due to the negative performance of mutual fund
industry. Although Union Bank and KBC are going to make joint venture Asset Management
Company and another joint venture asset management company is DLF Pramerica (Real Estate
giant DLF and American Insurance Company Prudential Financial Inc). To escape the mutual
fund industry from liquidity problem SEBI has made restriction for investor to withdraw FMP
money from any Mutual Fund Company. Except this, RBI has given order to all Banks to lend
money to Mutual Fund Company for solving liquity problem.
On the basis of present Average AUM Reliance MF holds first position. HDFC MF, ICICI Pru
MF, UTI MF is followed by 2nd, 3rd, 4th position in Mutual Fund industry.
On the basis of present condition I found out that the investors had withdrawn more money from
Income Fund and Equity Fund .But most of investors had invested more money in Liquid/ Money
Market Fund and Gilt Fund on October 2008. In this market, most of Mutual Fund Company had
invested more funds in Equity market instrument but some of Fund like Escort MF, Fidelity MF,
AIG MF, Morgan Stanley MF, Sundaram BNP Paribus MF, and UTI MF had invested more funds
in Debt market instruments.
On the basis of category wise AUM Income Fund, Equity Fund and Liquid / Market Market Fund
holds 1st, 2nd, 3rd position. In this market Corpus and NAV performance of all Equity Fund,
Balanced Fund and Debt Fund was decreased except Income Fund.
On the basis of load structure, I found out that generally all funds minimum investment amount is
Rs. 5000. Generally most of Equity schemes entry load is 2.25% for < 5 crs, Nil for >=5 crs but
Equity Index Funds entry load is 2.25% for <1 cr, Nil for >= 1 cr.

67
Most of Equity schemes exit load is 1% upto 6M for <5 Crs, 0.50% for 6M to 12M for >=5 Crs
and Nil after 12M.
All Debt funds have no entry load but have exit load like .25%, .80%,.75% for < 2 crs and Nil for
>=2 crs. But Birla Sun Life MF, IDFC MF, ICICI Pru MF, Tata MF and Templeton MF’s have no
exit load.
On the basis of rank I found out that still now different equity scheme of Sahara, Birla sun Life,
UTI, HDFC, Reliance, ICICI Prudential, Franklin and Sundaram BNP Paribus are holding top
position among all Mutual Fund company in the industry.
Different debt scheme of Sahara, Birla Sun Life, ICICI Prudential, HDFC, UTI, ABN AMRO are
still now holding top position among all Mutual Fund Company in the industry.
On the basis of dividend declared I found out most of debt fund had declared dividend but except
one equity fund, there are no any other equity scheme which had declared dividend on the month
of October, 08.

4.3 RECOMMENDATION

A. Mutual fund companies need to reduce entry load and exit load of mutual fund
schemes to make people more interested in mutual fund.

B. Fund manager need to increase their efficiency to make better portfolio and greater
returns to the investor.

C Mutual Fund Companies need to increase the Net Asset value and to reduce the
Liability of all Schemes. .

D Products and schemes should be recommended to the customers as per their

requirements.

E Intensive promotional activities are needed to make mutual fund more popular
investment solution in urban area.

F Disclosure of terms and condition of the mutual fund contract is very essential and
Investor Education is also equally important.

G More promotion is needed to make aware of financial market in India as a

majority of the population in India lives in rural area and through promotional
activities only we can make rural people aware about mutual fund which is one of
the best investment solution in India.
