Executive Summary
Definition of Mutual Fund
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools together the savings of a number of investors who
share a common financial goal. A mutual fund is nothing more than a collection of
stocks and/or bonds. You can think of a mutual fund as a company that brings together
a group of people and invests their money in stocks, bonds, and other securities. Each
investor owns shares, which represent a portion of the holdings of the fund.
The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares,
debentures and other securities.
You can make money from a mutual fund in three ways:
Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays out
nearly all of the income it receives over the year to fund owners in the form of a
distribution.
If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital gain. Most
funds also pass on these gains to investors in a distribution.
If fund holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund's
shares increase in price. You can then sell your mutual fund shares for a profit.

History of the Indian Mutual Fund Industry
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of
India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank.
The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases:
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.
The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had
Rs.6, 700crores of assets under management.
Second Phase – 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
1987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector
banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance
Corporation(GIC) of India.
SBI Mutual Fund was the first non- UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987
9. 9
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.
In 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.
Fourth Phase – since February 2003
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was
divided into two separate entities.
One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under
management of Rs.29, 835crores as at the end of January 2003.
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.

Objectives of Mutual Funds
Growth
While all funds share fundamental objectives, they vary widely in their investment
focus. For example, some are categorized as "growth" funds because their main
objective is to produce the largest possible returns over time, often without producing
immediate income in the form of dividends. To achieve that, they invest primarily in
equity stocks and other potentially high-return -- or high loss -- investments. Some are
relatively conservative, investing primarily in proven companies. Others are more
aggressive in search of returns, putting capital into emerging industries and new
economies that offer higher risks but potentially higher rewards. Growth funds are
good for young investors with long-term goals.
Income
Another common objective of mutual funds is income. Income-oriented funds are more
conservative, investing in a mixture of bonds, guaranteed-interest vehicles and stocks
that pay regular dividends. These funds can also provide a degree of long-term growth,
but their primary purpose is to generate a reliable income for their investors.
Retirement is an obvious time to buy income funds, but they have other uses. An
inheritance or other financial windfall can be invested in dividend funds to provide a
higher standard of living, or additional cash flow to meet specific goals. They're also a
way to turn a large settlement into income if you're ever disabled.
Capital Preservation
Sometimes, all an investor really wants is a safe place to park some money while riding
out a bad market. Bank accounts can serve that purpose, though they pay little interest
in most cases. Money market funds are a better option. They're specialized mutual
funds that act much like a savings account, but pay a better return. They're invested in
especially safe instruments such as treasury bills, which are issued by and backed by
the government. Your cash remains accessible on relatively short notice, and can be
withdrawn or re-invested as conditions improve. Conservative bond funds are less
liquid, but also useful for capital preservation.
12. 12
Types of funds according to the structure
Open-ended Fund: An open-ended Mutual fund is one that is available for
subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis. These Funds do not have a fixed
maturity period.
Close-ended Fund :A close-ended Mutual fund has a stipulatedmaturity period, e.g.
5-7 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the time of
launch of the scheme.
Types of funds according to Investment Objective
A scheme can also be classified as growth fund, income fund, or balanced fund
considering its investment objective.
Growth / Equity Oriented Scheme
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long-
term.
Such funds have comparatively high risks.
These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital
appreciation, etc.
Income / Debt Oriented Scheme
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.
13. 13
Balanced Fund
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as such
schemes invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated
in their offer documents.
These are appropriate for investors looking for moderate growth.
Money Market
These funds are also income funds and their aim is to provide easy liquidity,
preservation of capital and moderate income.
These schemes invest exclusively in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills,
commercial paper and government securities, etc.
These funds are appropriate for corporate and individual investors as a means to park
their surplus funds for short periods.
15. 15
Calculation of Risk factors in the mutual funds
When considering a fund's volatility, an investor may find it difficult to decide
which fund will provide the optimal risk-reward combination. There are five main
indicators of investment risk that apply to the analysis of stocks, bonds andmutual
fund portfolios.
They are,
Alpha
Beta
R-Squared
Standard Deviation
Sharpe Ratio
The Bottom Line
These statistical measures are historical predictors of investment risk/volatility and are
all major components of modern portfolio theory (MPT). The MPT is a standard
financial and academic methodology used for assessing the performance of equity,
fixed-income and mutual fund investments by comparing them to market benchmarks.
All of these risk measurements are intended to help investors determine the risk-
reward parameters of their investments.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Portfolio diversification
It enables him to hold a diversified investment portfolio even with a small amount of
investment like Rs. 2000/-.
Professionalmanagement:
The investment management skills, along with the needed research into available
investment options, ensure a much better return as compared to what an investor can
manage on his own.
Reduction/Diversification of Risks
The potential losses are also shared with other investors.
Reduction of transaction costs
The investor has the benefit of economies of scale; the funds pay lesser costs because
of larger volumes and it is passed on to the investors.
Wide Choice to suit risk-returnprofile
Investors can choose the fund based on their risk tolerance and expected returns.
• Liquidity
Investors may be unable to sell shares directly, easily and quickly. When they invest in
mutual funds, they can cash their investment any time by selling the units to the fund if
it is open-ended and get the intrinsic value. Investors can sell the units in the market if
it is closed-ended fund.
• Convenience and Flexibility
17. 17
Investors can easily transfer their holdings from one scheme to other; get updated
market information and so on. Funds also offer additional benefits like regular
investment and regular withdrawal options.
• Transparency
Fund gives regular information to its investors on the value of the investments in
addition to disclosureof portfolio held by their scheme, the proportion invested in each
class of assets and the fund manager's investment strategy and outlook.
DISADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
• No control over costs
The investor pays investment management fees as long as he remains with the fund,
even while the value of his investments are declining. He also pays for funds
distribution charges which he would not incur in direct investments.
• No tailor-made portfolios
The very high net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this to be a
constraint as they will not be able to build their own portfolio of shares, bonds and
other securities.
• Managing a portfolio of funds
Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too much choice for the
investor. So, he may again need advice on how to select a fund to achieve his
objectives.
• Delay in redemption
Ittakes 3-6 days for redemption of the units and the money to flow back into the
investor’s account.
