And Its Various Aspects.
1.1 Introduction
• Mutual funds, as the name indicates is the fund where in numerous investors come together to
invest in various schemes of mutual fund.
• Plays a crucial role in an economy by mobilizing savings and investing them in the capital
market.
• A mutual fund is an institution that invests the pooled funds of public to create a diversified
portfolio of securities.
• Mutual fund as an investment company combines or collects money of its shareholders and
invests those funds in variety of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments.
• Investors who invest in mutual funds are provided with units to participate in stock
markets. These units provide a means of participation in the stock market for people who
have neither the time, nor the money, nor perhaps the expertise to undertake the direct
investment in equities.
• The price of units in any mutual fund is governed by the value of underlying securities
hence fluctuates.
• It also depends on the fund manager expertise knowledge and hence Fund
Manager plays a vital role.
• A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common
financial goal.

basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
• Suitable for small investors who generally do not have adequate time,
knowledge, experience & resources for directly accessing the capital
market.
• The interest of the investors is protected by the SEBI, which acts as a
watchdog. Mutual funds are governed by SEBI (Mutual Funds) regulations,
1996.

5. 1.2 ORGANISATION OF A MUTUAL FUND
• Mutual funds have a unique structure not shared with other entities such as
companies or firms.
• The structure of the mutual fund India is governed by the SEBI (Mutual
Funds) regulations, 1996. These regulations make it mandatory for mutual
funds to have a structure of sponsor, trustee, AMC, custodian.

6. 1.3 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.
• First Phase – 1964-87
- Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament by the Reserve
Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the
Reserve Bank of India
• 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 of
India (GIC).
• Third Phase – 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)
-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 bifurcated into
two separate entities.

7. 1.4. WORLD PANORAMA
• At the very dawn of commercial history, Egyptians and Phoenicians were
selling shares in vessels and caravans in order to spread the risk of these
perilous ventures.
• In 1822, groups of people in Belgium established a company to finance
investments in national industries under the name of „Societe Generale de
Belgique‟ incorporating the concept of risk sharing.
• In 1868, the Foreign and Colonial Government Trust of London was formed,
which was the real pioneer to spread risk of investors over a large number of
securities and was considered as the Mecca of modern mutual funds.
• Sherman L Adams, the father of modern mutual fund, along with Charles
Learoyd and Ashton Carr established a modest portfolio of 45 common stocks
worth USD 50,000.
• The crash of stock markets in 1929 led to the demise of many close-end funds.
• In Canada, the Canadian Investment Fund was the first to be set up in 1932
followed by Commonwealth International Corporation Limited and Corporate
Investors Limited.

8. • The enactment of Securities Act of 1933, Investment Company Act of 1940
and Investment Advisors Act of 1940, led to the revival of mutual funds in
U.S.A.
• Investment trusts in Japan were set up under the Securities Investment
Law of 1951 with the three important characteristics namely contractual
nature, open-end and flexibility.
• In 1980s, because of high mutual fund returns, employees (through IRA
accounts) en masse shifted to equity option for their retirement fund.
• With the increasing inflation and interest rates during 1990’s, the
individual and institutional investors became extremely sensitive to the
true value of money.
• American investors embraced mutual funds with a fervor that even the
most optimistic fund executives could not have predicted.
• By the end of 1994 in U.S.A., mutual funds had become the second largest
financial institution after the banking sector holding assets worth USD
2161.4 billion.
• By the end of 1996, of the U.S.A mutual fund industry’s (USD 3,539
trillion) assets, households owned USD 2.626 trillion (74.2 percent) while
the remaining USD 9123 billion (25.8 percent) was held by banks,
trustees, and other institutional investors

9. At the end of first quarter of 2003, the assets of worldwide mutual funds
stood at USD 11.2 trillion while the assets of equity funds contributed for 35
percent.

10. The number of worldwide mutual funds stood at 53,150 with equity funds
accounting for 42 percent as shown in the Exhibit 1.2.

11. 1.5. INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES IN INDIA
• Non marketable financial assets: These are such financial assets which
gives moderately high return but cannot be traded in market.
• Equity shares: These are shares of company and can be traded in
secondary market.
• Bonds: Bonds are the instruments that are considered as a relatively safer
investment avenues.
• Money market instrument: Money market instruments are those
instruments, which have a maturity period of less than one year
• Mutual Funds- A mutual fund is a trust that pools together the savings of
a number of investors who share a common financial goal.
• Life insurance: Now-a-days life insurance is also being considered as an
investment avenue.
• Real estate: One of the most important assets in portfolio of investors is a
residential house.

12. • Precious objects: Investors can also invest in the objects which have value.
• Financial Derivatives: These are such instruments which derive their value
from some other underlying assets. It may be viewed as a side bet on the
asset. The most important financial derivatives from the point of view of
investors are:
– Options
– Futures

13. 1.6. STRUCTURE OF MUTUAL FUND
• Since there is a clear distinction between open ended schemes and close
ended schemes, usually two different types of structural and management
approaches are followed.
• The management and operations of the two types of funds, are, therefore,
guided by separate regulatory mechanisms, and the rules are laid down by
separate controlling authorities. However, no such distinctions exist in
India and both approaches (Trust and Corporate) have been integrated by
SEBI.
• The formation and operations of mutual funds in India are guided solely by
the SEBI regulations.
• A mutual fund consists of four separate entities – sponsor, mutual fund
trust, AMC and custodian. These are, of course, assisted by other
independent administrative entities, such as banks, registrars and transfer
agents.

21. 1.11. WHY TO INVEST IN MUTUAL FUNDS:
A proven principle of sound investment is – “do not put all eggs in one

• They help in pooling of funds and investing in large basket of shares of
different companies.
• Professional fund managers engaged by mutual funds take desirable
investment decision on behalf of investors so as to make better utilization
of resources.
• Investment in mutual funds is comparatively more liquid because investor

the units at net asset value depending upon the type of scheme.
• Investors can avail tax rebates by investing in different tax saving schemes
floated by these funds, approved by the government.
• Operating cost is minimized per head because of large size of investible
funds, there by realizing more net income of investors.

• Fund Manager’s and scheme track record:
• Cost factor:
• Types of Returns on Mutual Fund
- Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds.
- If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a
capital gain

28. CHAPTER 2 : Mutual Fund
Vs
Other Investments
From investors’ viewpoint mutual funds have several advantages such as:
• Professional management and research to select quality securities.
• Spreading risk over a larger quantity of stock whereas the investor has
limited to buy
only a hand full of stocks. The investor is not putting all his eggs in one
basket.
• Ability to add funds at set amounts and smaller quantities such as $100 per
month
• Ability to take advantage of the stock market which has generally
outperformed other
investment in the long run.
• Fund manager are able to buy securities in large quantities thus reducing
brokerage
fees.

29. However there are some disadvantages with mutual funds such as:
• The investor must rely on the integrity of the professional fund manager.
• Fund management fees may be unreasonable for the services rendered.
• The fund manager may not pass transaction savings to the investor.
• The fund manager is not liable for poor judgment when the investor's fund
loses value.
• There may be too many transactions in the fund resulting in higher fee/cost
to theinvestor - This is sometimes call "Churn and Earn".
• Prospectus and Annual report are hard to understand.
• Investor may feel a lost of control of his investment dollars.
 There may be restrictions on when and how an investor sells/redeems
his mutual fund shares.
 Company Fixed Deposits versus Mutual Funds
 Both fixed deposits and mutual funds offer liquidity, but subject to some
differences:

30. 2.1. Bank Fixed Deposits verses Mutual Fund:
2.2. Bonds and Debentures versus Mutual Funds
2.3. Equity versus Mutual Funds
• Advantages of Mutual Funds over Stocks
• Advantages of Stock over Mutual Funds?
2.4. Life Insurance versus Mutual Fund

31. Pointers to Measure Mutual Fund Performance
MEASURES DESCRIPTION IDEAL RANGE
STANDARD
DEVIATION
Standard Deviation allows to evaluate the
volatility of the fund. The standard deviation
of a fund measures this risk by measuring
the degree to which the fund fluctuates in
relation to its mean return.
Should be near to it’s mean
return.
BETA Beta is a fairly commonly used measure of
risk. It basically indicates the level of
volatility associated with the fund as
compared to the benchmark.
Beta > 1 = high risky
Beta = 1 = Avg
Beta <1 = Low Risky
R-SQUARE R- square measures the correlation of a
fund’s movement to that of an index. R-
squared describes the level of association
between the fund's volatility and market risk.
R-squared values range
between 0 and 1, where 0
represents no correlation
and 1 represents full
correlation.
ALPHA Alpha is the difference between the returns
one would expect from a fund, given its beta,
and the return it actually produces. It also
measures the unsystematic risk .
Alpha is positive = returns
of stock are better then
market returns.
Alpha is negative = returns
of stock are worst then
market.
Alpha is zero = returns are
same as market.
SHARPE
RATIO
Sharpe Ratio= Fund return in excess of risk
free return/ Standard deviation of Fund.
Sharpe ratios are ideal for comparing funds
that have a mixed asset classes.
The higher the Sharpe ratio,
the better a funds returns
relative to the amount of
risk taken.

32. CHAPTER 3 : Best Mutual Funds

the last three years are categorized under Multi-Cap. It‟s been noticed that
Multi-caps funds also keep moving from one category to other as couple of

44. CONCLUSION
• Mutual Funds now represent perhaps most appropriate investment opportunity for most
investors. As financial markets become more sophisticated and complex, investors
need a financial intermediary who provides the required knowledge and professional
expertise on successful investing. As the investor always try to maximize the returns
and minimize the risk. Mutual fund satisfies these requirements by providing attractive
returns with affordable risks. Risk takers for getting capital appreciation should invest
in growth, equity schemes. Investors who are in need of regular income should invest
in income plans.
• The stock market has been rising for over three years now. This in turn has not only
protected the money invested in funds but has also helped to grow these investments.
This has also instilled greater confidence among fund investors who are investing more
into the market through the MF route than ever before. Reliance India mutual funds
provide major benefits to a common man who wants to make his life better than
previous.
• India's largest mutual fund, UTI, still controls nearly 80 per cent of the market. Also,
the mutual fund industry as a whole gets less than 2 per cent of household savings
against the 46 per cent that go into bank deposits. Some fund managers say this only
indicates the sector's potential. "If mutual funds succeed in chipping away at bank
deposits, even a triple digit growth is possible over the next few years.

45. FUTURE PROSPECT OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA
Financial experts believe that the future of Mutual Funds in India will be very
bright. It has been estimated that by March-end of 2010, the mutual fund industry
of India will reach Rs 40,90,000 crore, taking into account the total assets of the
Indian commercial banks. In the coming 10 years the annual composite growth rate
is expected to go up by 13.4%.
• 100% growth in the last 6 years.
• Numbers of foreign AMC’s are in the queue to enter the Indian markets like
Fidelity Investments, US based, with over US$1trillion assets under
management worldwide.
• Our saving rate is over 23%, highest in the world. Only channelizing these
savings in mutual funds sector is required.
• We have approximately 29 mutual funds which is much less than US having
more than 800. There is a big scope for expansion.
• 'B' and 'C' class cities are growing rapidly. Today most of the mutual funds are
concentrating on the 'A' class cities. Soon they will find scope in the growing
cities.
• Mutual fund can penetrate into rural areas like the Indian insurance industry
with simple and limited products.
• SEBI allowing the MF's to launch commodity mutual funds.

46. • Emphasis on better corporate governance.
• Trying to curb the late trading practices.
• Introduction of Financial Planners who can provide need based advice.
• Looking at the past developments and combining it with the current trends it can
be concluded that the future of Mutual Funds in India has lot of positive things to
offer to its investors.
