1. Knowledge Centre Curious About Mutual Funds? Presenting an elementary guide that covers all aspects of Mutual Funds & empowers you knowledge so you can take right financial decisions. Come, begin your journey with us. Visit us @ www.MoneyMantraOnline.com
4. What are Mutual Funds? A mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. These investors buy units of a particular Mutual Fund scheme that has a pre defined investment objective and strategy. The money pooled by a mutual fund is utilized by the Fund management team to purchase stocks (equity/shares), bonds (debt) or other securities as stated in the investment objective of the scheme. Then the gains or losses which result from the investment process, along with any interest or dividends earned, are passed on to the investors. Thus a mutual fund is the most suitable investment for a common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.

6. Mutual Funds – An Illustration* For instance, if Ram, Shyam and Sudha all want to invest in equity, they may collect their money in a common kitty. This kitty would represent the mutual fund. Let’s say Ram had contributed Rs.5000 to the kitty, Shyam gave another Rs.3000 and Sudha put in Rs.2000. This total of Rs.10000 would be invested in various securities by an investment manager. At the end of one year, if the common kitty of Rs. 10000 becomes Rs.11000, i.e. a profit of Rs.1000, theoretically, Ram’s share in this profit would be Rs.500, shyam’s Rs.300 and Sudha’s Rs.200. *This example is for illustration purpose only, in a mutual fund there may be some expenses as well which would also be distributed proportionately.

7. NAV – The value of the units of a Mutual Fund When you invest in a mutual fund scheme, you will receive a number of units in exchange for the money you invest. In effect, you buy units. The value of these units keeps on changing once the investment manager begins investing the money. It could go up if the value of the overall portfolio goes up, i.e. if the scheme makes temporary profits; or it could go down if the mutual fund scheme makes temporary loss. In fact, it will change on a daily basis on the basis of investments made under the scheme. The value of a unit is called the Net Asset Value or NAV of a scheme. Visit us @ www.MoneyMantraOnline.com
8. NAV – An illustration Let’s say each unit is worth Rs.10. Ram, who has invested Rs.5000, would receive 500 units^ Shyam would get 300 units^ (for Rs.3000) and Sudha would get 200 units^ (for Rs.2000) ^Assuming there is no entry load. Visit us @ www.MoneyMantraOnline.com
