What is SIP? (Systematic Investment Planning) slideshareLatin Manharlal
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is an approach to investing small amounts at regular intervals rather than investing lump sum amount at one time.
Considered to be the safest way to invest into Equity Markets by going the SIP route, Investor is not trying to capture the Highs and lows of the market, but trying to average the cost by investing at regular interval.
Concept is that, When the markets fall investor gets more units. Likewise investor acquires lesser units when the market goes up. This means that investor buys less when the price is high and investor buys more when the price is low. Hence the average cost per unit falls down over a period of time.
This document discusses the benefits of systematic investment plans (SIPs) for achieving financial goals like retirement, children's education, and family commitments. SIPs allow investors to invest small monthly amounts that benefit from the power of compounding over the long term. Equity investments through SIPs are ideal for meeting long-term goals since equities have historically offered higher returns than other asset classes. Regular investing through SIPs also reduces market timing risk.

Comparative analysis on investment in mutual fundvaibhav belkhude
Over a long term horizon, equity investments have given returns which far exceed those from the debt based instruments. They are probably the only investment option, which can build large wealth. In short term, equities exhibit very sharp volatilities, which many of us find difficult to stomach. Investment in equities requires one to be in constant touch with the market and a lot of research.
Buying good scripts require one to invest fairly large amounts. Systematic Investing in a Mutual Fund is the answer to preventing the pitfalls of equity investment and still enjoying the high returns. And it makes all the more sense today when the stock markets are booming.
Management of the fund by the professionals or experts is one of the key advantages of investing through a mutual fund. They regularly carry out extensive research - on the company, the industry and the economy – thus ensuring informed investment. Secondly, they regularly track the market.
Thus for many of us who do not have the desired expertise and are too busy with our vocation to devote sufficient time and effort to investing in equity, Mutual Funds offer an attractive alternative.
Another advantage of investing through mutual funds is that even with small amounts we are able to enjoy the benefits of diversification. Huge amounts would be required for an individual to achieve the
desired diversification, which would not be possible for many of us. Diversification reduces the overall impact on the returns from a portfolio, on account of a loss in a particular company/sector.
The Mutual Funds industry is well regulated both by SEBI and AMFI. They have, over the years, introduced regulations, which ensure smooth and transparent functioning of the mutual funds industry. This makes it safer and convenient for investors to invest through Mutual Funds.
One of the biggest difficulties in equity investing is WHEN to invest, apart from the other big question WHERE to invest. While, investing in a mutual fund solves the issue of ‘where’ to invest, SIP helps us to overcome the problem of ‘when’. SIP is a disciplined investing irrespective of the state of the market. It thus makes the market timing totally irrelevant.

NEED FOR THE STUDY:
The main purpose of doing this project was to know about mutual fund and its
functioning. This helps to know in details about mutual fund industry right from its inception
stage, growth and future prospects.
It also helps in understanding different schemes of mutual funds. Because my study
depends upon prominent funds in India and their schemes like equity, income, balance as well as
the returns associated with those schemes.
The project study was done to ascertain the asset allocation, entry load, exit load,
associated with the mutual funds. Ultimately this would help in understanding the benefits of
mutual funds to investors.
OBJECTIVE:
To give a brief idea about the benefits available from Mutual Fund investment.
To give an idea of the types of schemes available.
To discuss about the market trends of Mutual Fund investment.
To study some of the mutual fund schemes.
To study some mutual fund companies and their funds.
Observe the fund management process of mutual funds.
Explore the recent developments in the mutual funds in India.
To give an idea about the regulations of mutual funds.
LIMITATIONS
• The lack of information sources for the analysis part.
• Though I tried to collect some primary data but they were too inadequate for the purposes
of the study.
• Time and money are critical factors limiting this study.
• The data provided by the prospects may not be 100% correct as they too have their
limitations.
• The study is limited to selected mutual fund schemes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
A mutual fund is a scheme in which several people invest their money for a common
financial cause. The collected money invests in the capital market and the money, which they
earned, is divided based on the number of units, which they hold.
The mutual fund industry started in India in a small way with the UTI Act creating what
was effectively a small savings division within the RBI. Over a period of 25 years this grew
fairly successfully and gave investors a good return, and therefore in 1989, as the next logical
step, public sector banks and financial institutions were allowed to float mutual funds and their
success emboldened the government to allow the private sector to foray into this area.
The advantages of mutual fund are professional management, diversification, economies
of scale, simplicity, and liquidity.
The disadvantages of mutual fund are high costs, over-diversification, possible tax
consequences, and the inability of management to guarantee a superior return.
The biggest problems with mutual funds are their costs and fees it include Purchase fee,
Redemption fee, Exchange fee, Management fee, Account fee & Transaction Costs. There are
some loads which add to the cost of mutual fund. Load is a type of commission depending on the
type of funds.
Mutual funds are easy to buy and sell. You can either buy them directly from the fund
company or through a third party. Before investing in any funds one should consider some factor
like objective, risk, Fund Manager’s and scheme track record, Cost factor etc.
There are many, many types of mutual funds. You can classify funds based Structure
(open-ended & close-ended), Nature (equity, debt, balanced), Investment objective (growth,
income, money market) etc.
A code of conduct and registration structure for mutual fund intermediaries, which were
subsequently mandated by SEBI. In addition, this year AMFI was involved in a number of
developments and enhancements to the regulatory framework.

The most important trend in the mutual fund industry is the aggressive expansion of the
foreign owned mutual fund companies and the decline of the companies floated by nationalized
banks and smaller private sector players.
Reliance Mutual Fund, UTI Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual
Fund and Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund are the top five mutual fund company in India.
Reliance mutual funding is considered to be most reliable mutual funds in India. People
want to invest in this institution because they know that this institution will never dissatisfy them
at any cost. You should always keep this into your mind that if particular mutual funding scheme
is on larger scale then next time, you might not get the same results so being a careful investor
you should take your major step diligently otherwise you will be unable to obtain the high
returns.

INTRODUCTION OF MUTUAL FUND
There are a lot of investment avenues available today in the financial market for an investor with
an investable surplus. He can invest in Bank Deposits, Corporate Debentures, and Bonds where
there is low risk but low return. He may invest in Stock of companies where the risk is high and
the returns are also proportionately high. The recent trends in the Stock Market have shown that
an average retail investor always lost with periodic bearish tends. People began opting for
portfolio managers with expertise in stock markets who would invest on their behalf. Thus we
had wealth management services provided by many institutions. However they proved too costly
for a small investor. These investors have found a good shelter with the mutual funds.
CONCEPT OF MUTUAL FUND:
A mutual fund is a common pool of money into which investors place their contributions
that are to be invested in accordance with a stated objective. The ownership of the fund is thus
joint or “mutual”; the fund belongs to all investors. A single investor’s ownership of the fund is
in the same proportion as the amount of the contribution made by him or her bears to the total
amount of the fund.

10. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
Mutual Funds are trusts, which accept savings from investors and invest the same in
diversified financial instruments in terms of objectives set out in the trusts deed with the view to
reduce the risk and maximize the income and capital appreciation for distribution for the
members. A Mutual Fund is a corporation and the fund manager’s interest is to professionally
manage the funds provided by the investors and provide a return on them after deducting
reasonable management fees.
The objective sought to be achieved by Mutual Fund is to provide an opportunity for
lower income groups to acquire without much difficulty financial assets. They cater mainly to
the needs of the individual investor whose means are small and to manage investors portfolio in a
manner that provides a regular income, growth, safety, liquidity and diversification
opportunities.
DEFINITION:
“Mutual funds are collective savings and investment vehicles where savings of small
(or sometimes big) investors are pooled together to invest for their mutual benefit and returns
distributed proportionately”.
“A mutual fund is an investment that pools your money with the money of an unlimited
number of other investors. In return, you and the other investors each own shares of the fund.
The fund's assets are invested according to an investment objective into the fund's portfolio of
investments. Aggressive growth funds seek long-term capital growth by investing primarily in
stocks of fast-growing smaller companies or market segments. Aggressive growth funds are also
called capital appreciation funds”.

Why Select Mutual Fund?
The risk return trade-off indicates that if investor is willing to take higher risk then
correspondingly he can expect higher returns and vise versa if he pertains to lower risk
instruments, which would be satisfied by lower returns. For example, if an investors opt for
bank FD, which provide moderate return with minimal risk. But as he moves ahead to invest in
capital protected funds and the profit-bonds that give out more return which is slightly higher as
compared to the bank deposits but the risk involved also increases in the same proportion.
Thus investors choose mutual funds as their primary means of investing, as Mutual funds
provide professional management, diversification, convenience and liquidity. That doesn’t mean
mutual fund investments risk free.
This is because the money that is pooled in are not invested only in debts funds which are
less riskier but are also invested in the stock markets which involves a higher risk but can expect
higher returns. Hedge fund involves a very high risk since it is mostly traded in the derivatives
market which is considered very volatile.

HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA:
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. 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):
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). 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.
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.
12
13. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
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:
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was
bifurcated into two separate entities. 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 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 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.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
If mutual funds are emerging as the favorite investment vehicle, it is because of the many
advantages they have over other forms and the avenues of investing, particularly for the investor
who has limited resources available in terms of capital and the ability to carry out detailed
research and market monitoring. The following are the major advantages offered by mutual
funds to all investors:
1. Portfolio Diversification:
Each investor in the fund is a part owner of all the fund’s assets, thus enabling him to
hold a diversified investment portfolio even with a small amount of investment that would
otherwise require big capital.
2. Professional Management:
Even if an investor has a big amount of capital available to him, he benefits from the
professional management skills brought in by the fund in the management of the investor’s
portfolio. The investment management skills, along with the needed research into available
investment options, ensure a much better return than what an investor can manage on his own.
Few investors have the skill and resources of their own to succeed in today’s fast moving, global
and sophisticated markets.
3. Reduction/Diversification Of Risk:
When an investor invests directly, all the risk of potential loss is his own, whether he
places a deposit with a company or a bank, or he buys a share or debenture on his own or in any
other from. While investing in the pool of funds with investors, the potential losses are also
shared with other investors. The risk reduction is one of the most important benefits of a
collective investment vehicle like the mutual fund.
15
16. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
4. Reduction Of Transaction Costs:
What is true of risk as also true of the transaction costs. The investor bears all the costs of
investing such as brokerage or custody of securities. When going through a fund, he has the
benefit of economies of scale; the funds pay lesser costs because of larger volumes, a benefit
passed on to its investors.
5. Liquidity:
Often, investors hold shares or bonds they cannot directly, easily and quickly sell. When
they invest in the units of a fund, they can generally cash their investments any time, by selling
their units to the fund if open-ended, or selling them in the market if the fund is close-end.
Liquidity of investment is clearly a big benefit.
6. Convenience And Flexibility:
Mutual fund management companies offer many investor services that a direct market
investor cannot get. Investors can easily transfer their holding from one scheme to the other; get
updated market information and so on.
7. Tax Benefits:
Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the assessment of
all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit holders of open-ended equity-
oriented funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31, 2003, will be taxed at a
concessional rate of 10.5%.
In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families a deduction upto Rs. 9,000 from the
Total Income will be admissible in respect of income from investments specified in Section 80L,
including income from Units of the Mutual Fund. Units of the schemes are not subject to
Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax.
8. Choice of Schemes:
Mutual Funds offer a family of schemes to suit your varying needs over a lifetime.
16
17. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
9. Well Regulated:
All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the provisions of strict
regulations designed to protect the interests of investors. The operations of Mutual Funds are
regularly monitored by SEBI.
10. Transparency:
You get regular information on the value of your investment in addition to disclosure on the
specific investments made by your scheme, the proportion invested in each class of assets
and the fund manager's investment strategy and outlook.
DISADVANTAGES OF INVESTING THROUGH MUTUAL
FUNDS:
1. No Control Over Costs:
An investor in a mutual fund has no control of the overall costs of investing. The investor
pays investment management fees as long as he remains with the fund, albeit in return for the
professional management and research. Fees are payable even if the value of his investments is
declining. A mutual fund investor also pays fund distribution costs, which he would not incur in
direct investing. However, this shortcoming only means that there is a cost to obtain the mutual
fund services.
2. No Tailor-Made Portfolio:
Investors who invest on their own can build their own portfolios of shares and bonds and
other securities. Investing through fund means he delegates this decision to the fund managers.
The very-high-net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this to be a constraint
in achieving their objectives. However, most mutual fund managers help investors overcome this
constraint by offering families of funds- a large number of different schemes- within their own
management company. An investor can choose from different investment plans and constructs a
portfolio to his choice.
17
18. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
3. Managing A Portfolio Of Funds:
Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too much choice for the
investor. He may again need advice on how to select a fund to achieve his objectives, quite
similar to the situation when he has individual shares or bonds to select.
4. The Wisdom Of Professional Management:
That's right, this is not an advantage. The average mutual fund manager is no better at
picking stocks than the average nonprofessional, but charges fees.
5. No Control:
Unlike picking your own individual stocks, a mutual fund puts you in the passenger seat
of somebody else's car
6. Dilution:
Mutual funds generally have such small holdings of so many different stocks that
insanely great performance by a fund's top holdings still doesn't make much of a difference in a
mutual fund's total performance.
7. Buried Costs:
Many mutual funds specialize in burying their costs and in hiring salesmen who do not
make those costs clear to their clients.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS SCHEMES IN INDIA
Wide variety of Mutual Fund Schemes exists to cater to the needs such as financial
position, risk tolerance and return expectations etc. thus mutual funds has Variety of flavors,
Being a collection of many stocks, an investors can go for picking a mutual fund might be easy.
There are over hundreds of mutual funds scheme to choose from. It is easier to think of mutual
funds in categories, mentioned below.
19
20. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
A).BY STRUCTURE
1. Open - Ended Schemes:
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through the year. These do
not have a fixed maturity. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value
("NAV") related prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.
2. Close - Ended Schemes:
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. Investors can invest in
the scheme 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 Schemes:
Interval Schemes are that scheme, which combines the features of open-ended and close-
ended schemes. The units may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or
redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.
20
21. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
B).BY NATURE
1. Equity Fund:
These funds invest a maximum part of their corpus into equities holdings. The structure
of the fund may vary different for different schemes and the fund manager’s outlook on different
stocks. 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, thus Equity funds rank high on
the risk-return matrix.
2. Debt Funds:
The objective of these Funds is to invest 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
Government of India 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: Invest a major portion into various debt instruments such as bonds,
corporate debentures and Government securities.
• MIPs: Invests maximum of their total corpus in debt instruments while they take
minimum exposure 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.
21
22. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
• Short Term Plans (STPs): Meant for investment horizon for three to six 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 provides 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-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.
3. Balanced Funds:
As the name suggest they, 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.
Further the mutual funds can be broadly classified on the basis of investment parameter viz,
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.
22
23. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
C).BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
Growth Schemes:
Growth Schemes are also known as equity schemes. The aim of these schemes is to
provide capital appreciation over medium to long term. These schemes normally invest a major
part of their fund in equities and are willing to bear short-term decline in value for possible
future appreciation.
Income Schemes:
Income Schemes are also known as debt schemes. The aim of these schemes is to provide
regular and steady income to investors. These schemes generally invest in fixed income
securities such as bonds and corporate debentures. Capital appreciation in such schemes may be
limited.
Balanced Schemes:
Balanced Schemes aim to provide both growth and income by periodically distributing a
part of the income and capital gains they earn. These schemes invest in both shares and fixed
income securities, in the proportion indicated in their offer documents (normally 50:50).
Money Market Schemes:
Money Market Schemes aim to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital and
moderate income. These schemes generally invest in safer, short-term instruments, such as
treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money.
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.
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.

OTHER SCHEMES
Tax Saving Schemes:
Tax-saving schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under tax laws prescribed from time
to time. Under Sec.88 of the Income Tax Act, contributions made to any Equity Linked Savings
Scheme (ELSS) are eligible for rebate.
Index Schemes:
Index schemes attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index such as the BSE
Sensex or the NSE 50. The portfolio of these schemes will consist of only those stocks that
constitute the index. The percentage of each stock to the total holding will be identical to the
stocks index weightage. And hence, the returns from such schemes would be more or less
equivalent to those of the Index.
Sector Specific Schemes:
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.

NET ASSET VALUE (NAV):
Since each owner is a part owner of a mutual fund, it is necessary to establish the value of
his part. In other words, each share or unit that an investor holds needs to be assigned a value.
Since the units held by investor evidence the ownership of the fund’s assets, the value of the total
assets of the fund when divided by the total number of units issued by the mutual fund gives us
the value of one unit. This is generally called the Net Asset Value (NAV) of one unit or one
share. The value of an investor’s part ownership is thus determined by the NAV of the number of
units held.
Calculation of NAV:
Let us see an example. If the value of a fund’s assets stands at Rs. 100 and it has 10
investors who have bought 10 units each, the total numbers of units issued are 100, and the value
of one unit is Rs. 10.00 (1000/100). If a single investor in fact owns 3 units, the value of his
ownership of the fund will be Rs. 30.00(1000/100*3). Note that the value of the fund’s
investments will keep fluctuating with the market-price movements, causing the Net Asset Value
also to fluctuate. For example, if the value of our fund’s asset increased from Rs. 1000 to 1200,
the value of our investors holding of 3 units will now be (1200/100*3) Rs. 36. The investment
value can go up or down, depending on the markets value of the fund’s assets.

MUTUAL FUND FEES AND EXPENSES
Mutual fund fees and expenses are charges that may be incurred by investors who hold
mutual funds. Running a mutual fund involves costs, including shareholder transaction costs,
investment advisory fees, and marketing and distribution expenses. Funds pass along these costs
to investors in a number of ways.
1. TRANSACTION FEES
i) Purchase Fee:
It is a type of fee that some funds charge their shareholders when they buy shares.
Unlike a front-end sales load, a purchase fee is paid to the fund (not to a broker) and is
typically imposed to defray some of the fund's costs associated with the purchase.
ii) Redemption Fee:
It is another type of fee that some funds charge their shareholders when they sell
or redeem shares. Unlike a deferred sales load, a redemption fee is paid to the fund (not
to a broker) and is typically used to defray fund costs associated with a shareholder's
redemption.
iii) Exchange Fee:
Exchange fee that some funds impose on shareholders if they exchange (transfer)
to another fund within the same fund group or "family of funds."
2. PERIODIC FEES
i) Management Fee:
Management fees are fees that are paid out of fund assets to the fund's investment
adviser for investment portfolio management, any other management fees payable to the
fund's investment adviser or its affiliates, and administrative fees payable to the
investment adviser that are not included in the "Other Expenses" category. They are also
called maintenance fees.
26
27. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
ii) Account Fee:
Account fees are fees that some funds separately impose on investors in
connection with the maintenance of their accounts. For example, some funds impose an
account maintenance fee on accounts whose value is less than a certain dollar amount.
3. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Transaction Costs:
These costs are incurred in the trading of the fund's assets. Funds with a high
turnover ratio, or investing in illiquid or exotic markets usually face higher transaction
costs. Unlike the Total Expense Ratio these costs are usually not reported.
LOADS
Definition of a load
Load funds exhibit a "Sales Load" with a percentage charge levied on purchase or sale of
shares. A load is a type of Commission (remuneration). Depending on the type of load a mutual
fund exhibits, charges may be incurred at time of purchase, time of sale, or a mix of both. The
different types of loads are outlined below.
Front-end load:
Also known as Sales Charge, this is a fee paid when shares are purchased. Also known as
a "front-end load," this fee typically goes to the brokers that sell the fund's shares. Front-end
loads reduce the amount of your investment. For example, let's say you have Rs.10,000 and want
to invest it in a mutual fund with a 5% front-end load. The Rs.500 sales load you must pay
comes off the top, and the remaining Rs.9500 will be invested in the fund. According to NASD
rules, a front-end load cannot be higher than 8.5% of your investment.
27
28. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
Back-end load:
Also known as Deferred Sales Charge, this is a fee paid when shares are sold. Also
known as a "back-end load," this fee typically goes to the brokers that sell the fund's shares. The
amount of this type of load will depend on how long the investor holds his or her shares and
typically decreases to zero if the investor holds his or her shares long enough.
Level load / Low load:
It's similar to a back-end load in that no sales charges are paid when buying the fund.
Instead a back-end load may be charged if the shares purchased are sold within a given time
frame. The distinction between level loads and low loads as opposed to back-end loads, is that
this time frame where charges are levied is shorter.
No-load Fund:
As the name implies, this means that the fund does not charge any type of sales load. But,
as outlined above, not every type of shareholder fee is a "sales load." A no-load fund may charge
fees that are not sales loads, such as purchase fees, redemption fees, exchange fees, and account
fees.

SELECTION PARAMETERS FOR MUTUAL FUND
Your objective:
The first point to note before investing in a fund is to find out whether your objective
matches with the scheme. It is necessary, as any conflict would directly affect your prospective
returns. Similarly, you should pick schemes that meet your specific needs. Examples: pension
plans, children’s plans, sector-specific schemes, etc.
Your risk capacity and capability:
This dictates the choice of schemes. Those with no risk tolerance should go for debt
schemes, as they are relatively safer. Aggressive investors can go for equity investments.
Investors that are even more aggressive can try schemes that invest in specific industry or
sectors.
Fund Manager’s and scheme track record:
Since you are giving your hard earned money to someone to manage it, it is imperative
that he manages it well. It is also essential that the fund house you choose has excellent track
record. It also should be professional and maintain high transparency in operations. Look at the
performance of the scheme against relevant market benchmarks and its competitors. Look at the
performance of a longer period, as it will give you how the scheme fared in different market
conditions.
Cost factor:
Though the AMC fee is regulated, you should look at the expense ratio of the fund before
investing. This is because the money is deducted from your investments. A higher entry load or
exit load also will eat into your returns. A higher expense ratio can be justified only by
superlative returns. It is very crucial in a debt fund, as it will devour a few percentages from your
modest returns.

Also, Morningstar rates mutual funds. Each year end, many financial publications list the
year's best performing mutual funds. Naturally, very eager investors will rush out to purchase
shares of last year's top performers. That's a big mistake. Remember, changing market conditions
make it rare that last year's top performer repeats that ranking for the current year. Mutual fund
investors would be well advised to consider the fund prospectus, the fund manager, and the
current market conditions. Never rely on last year's top performers.
Types of Returns on Mutual Fund:
There are three ways, where the total returns provided by mutual funds can be enjoyed by
investors:
• Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays out nearly
all 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. Funds will also usually give you
a choice either to receive a check for distributions or to reinvest the earnings and get more
shares.

RISK FACTORS OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
1. The Risk-Return Trade-Off:
The most important relationship to understand is the risk-return trade-off. Higher the risk
greater the returns / loss and lower the risk lesser the returns/loss.
Hence it is upto you, the investor to decide how much risk you are willing to take. In
order to do this you must first be aware of the different types of risks involved with your
investment decision.
2. Market Risk:
Sometimes prices and yields of all securities rise and fall. Broad outside influences
affecting the market in general lead to this. This is true, may it be big corporations or smaller
mid-sized companies. This is known as Market Risk. A Systematic Investment Plan (“SIP”) that
works on the concept of Rupee Cost Averaging (“RCA”) might help mitigate this risk.
3. Credit Risk:
The debt servicing ability (may it be interest payments or repayment of principal) of a
company through its cashflows determines the Credit Risk faced by you. This credit risk is
measured by independent rating agencies like CRISIL who rate companies and their paper. A
‘AAA’ rating is considered the safest whereas a ‘D’ rating is considered poor credit quality. A
well-diversified portfolio might help mitigate this risk.
4. Inflation Risk:
Things you hear people talk about:
"Rs. 100 today is worth more than Rs. 100 tomorrow."
"Remember the time when a bus ride costed 50 paise?"
"Mehangai Ka Jamana Hai."
The root cause, Inflation. Inflation is the loss of purchasing power over time. A lot of times
people make conservative investment decisions to protect their capital but end up with a sum of
money that can buy less than what the principal could at the time of the investment. This happens
31
32. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
when inflation grows faster than the return on your investment. A well-diversified portfolio with
some investment in equities might help mitigate this risk.
5. Interest Rate Risk:
In a free market economy interest rates are difficult if not impossible to predict. Changes
in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If interest rates rise the prices of
bonds fall and vice versa. Equity might be negatively affected as well in a rising interest rate
environment. A well-diversified portfolio might help mitigate this risk.
6. Political / Government Policy Risk:
Changes in government policy and political decision can change the investment
environment. They can create a favorable environment for investment or vice versa.
7. Liquidity Risk:
Liquidity risk arises when it becomes difficult to sell the securities that one has
purchased. Liquidity Risk can be partly mitigated by diversification, staggering of maturities as
well as internal risk controls that lean towards purchase of liquid securities.

WORKING OF MUTUAL FUNDS
The mutual fund collects money directly or through brokers from investors. The money is
invested in various instruments depending on the objective of the scheme. The income generated
by selling securities or capital appreciation of these securities is passed on to the investors in
proportion to their investment in the scheme. The investments are divided into units and the
value of the units will be reflected in Net Asset Value or NAV of the unit. NAV is the market
value of the assets of the scheme minus its liabilities. The per unit NAV is the net asset value of
the scheme divided by the number of units outstanding on the valuation date. Mutual fund
companies provide daily net asset value of their schemes to their investors. NAV is important, as
it will determine the price at which you buy or redeem the units of a scheme. Depending on the
load structure of the scheme, you have to pay entry or exit load.

STRUCTURE OF A MUTUAL FUND:
India has a legal framework within which Mutual Fund have to be constituted. In India
open and close-end funds operate under the same regulatory structure i.e. as unit Trusts. A
Mutual Fund in India is allowed to issue open-end and close-end schemes under a common legal
structure. The structure that is required to be followed by any Mutual Fund in India is laid down
under SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996.
The Fund Sponsor:
Sponsor is defined under SEBI regulations as any person who, acting alone or in
combination of another corporate body establishes a Mutual Fund. The sponsor of the fund is
akin to the promoter of a company as he gets the fund registered with SEBI. The sponsor forms a
trust and appoints a Board of Trustees. The sponsor also appoints the Asset Management
Company as fund managers. The sponsor either directly or acting through the trustees will also
appoint a custodian to hold funds assets. All these are made in accordance with the regulation
and guidelines of SEBI.
34
35. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
As per the SEBI regulations, for the person to qualify as a sponsor, he must contribute at
least 40% of the net worth of the Asset Management Company and possesses a sound financial
track record over 5 years prior to registration.
Mutual Funds as Trusts:
A Mutual Fund in India is constituted in the form of Public trust Act, 1882. The Fund
sponsor acts as a settlor of the Trust, contributing to its initial capital and appoints a trustee to
hold the assets of the trust for the benefit of the unit-holders, who are the beneficiaries of the
trust. The fund then invites investors to contribute their money in common pool, by scribing to
“units” issued by various schemes established by the Trusts as evidence of their beneficial
interest in the fund.
It should be understood that the fund should be just a “pass through” vehicle. Under the
Indian Trusts Act, the trust of the fund has no independent legal capacity itself, rather it is the
Trustee or the Trustees who have the legal capacity and therefore all acts in relation to the trusts
are taken on its behalf by the Trustees. In legal parlance the investors or the unit-holders are the
beneficial owners of the investment held by the Trusts, even as these investments are held in the
name of the Trustees on a day-to-day basis. Being public trusts, Mutual Fund can invite any
number of investors as beneficial owners in their investment schemes.
Trustees:
A Trust is created through a document called the Trust Deed that is executed by the fund
sponsor in favour of the trustees. The Trust- the Mutual Fund – may be managed by a board of
trustees- a body of individuals, or a trust company- a corporate body. Most of the funds in India
are managed by Boards of Trustees. While the boards of trustees are governed by the Indian
Trusts Act, where the trusts are a corporate body, it would also require to comply with the
Companies Act, 1956. The Board or the Trust company as an independent body, acts as a
protector of the of the unit-holders interests. The Trustees do not directly manage the portfolio of
securities. For this specialist function, the appoint an Asset Management Company. They ensure
that the Fund is managed by ht AMC as per the defined objectives and in accordance with the
trusts deeds and SEBI regulations.
35
36. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
The Asset Management Companies:
The role of an Asset Management Company (AMC) is to act as the investment manager
of the Trust under the board supervision and the guidance of the Trustees. The AMC is required
to be approved and registered with SEBI as an AMC. The AMC of a Mutual Fund must have a
net worth of at least Rs. 10 Crores at all times. Directors of the AMC, both independent and non-
independent, should have adequate professional expertise in financial services and should be
individuals of high morale standing, a condition also applicable to other key personnel of the
AMC. The AMC cannot act as a Trustee of any other Mutual Fund. Besides its role as a fund
manager, it may undertake specified activities such as advisory services and financial consulting,
provided these activities are run independent of one another and the AMC’s resources (such as
personnel, systems etc.) are properly segregated by the activity. The AMC must always act in the
interest of the unit-holders and reports to the trustees with respect to its activities.
Custodian and Depositories:
Mutual Fund is in the business of buying and selling of securities in large volumes.
Handling these securities in terms of physical delivery and eventual safekeeping is a specialized
activity. The custodian is appointed by the Board of Trustees for safekeeping of securities or
participating in any clearance system through approved depository companies on behalf of the
Mutual Fund and it must fulfill its responsibilities in accordance with its agreement with the
Mutual Fund. The custodian should be an entity independent of the sponsors and is required to
be registered with SEBI. With the introduction of the concept of dematerialization of shares the
dematerialized shares are kept with the Depository participant while the custodian holds the
physical securities. Thus, deliveries of a fund’s securities are given or received by a custodian or
a depository participant, at the instructions of the AMC, although under the overall direction and
responsibilities of the Trustees.
Bankers:
A Fund’s activities involve dealing in money on a continuous basis primarily with respect
to buying and selling units, paying for investment made, receiving the proceeds from sale of the
investments and discharging its obligations towards operating expenses. Thus the Fund’s banker
36
37. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
plays an important role to determine quality of service that the fund gives in timely delivery of
remittances etc.
Transfer Agents:
Transfer agents are responsible for issuing and redeeming units of the Mutual Fund and
provide other related services such as preparation of transfer documents and updating investor
records. A fund may choose to carry out its activity in-house and charge the scheme for the
service at a competitive market rate. Where an outside Transfer agent is used, the fund investor
will find the agent to be an important interface to deal with, since all of the investor services that
a fund provides are going to be dependent on the transfer agent.
REGULATORY STRUCTURE OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA:
The structure of mutual funds in India is guided by the SEBI. Regulations, 1996.These
regulations make it mandatory for mutual fund to have three structures of sponsor trustee and
asset Management Company. The sponsor of the mutual fund and appoints the trustees. The
trustees are responsible to the investors in mutual fund and appoint the AMC for managing the
investment portfolio. The AMC is the business face of the mutual fund, as it manages all the
affairs of the mutual fund. The AMC and the mutual fund have to be registered with SEBI.

SEBI REGULATIONS:
• As far as mutual funds are concerned, SEBI formulates policies and regulates the mutual
funds to protect the interest of the investors.

similar type. There is no distinction in regulatory requirements for these mutual funds and all
are subject to monitoring and inspections by SEBI.
• 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.
• Further SEBI Regualtions, inter-alia, stipulate that MFs cannot gurarnatee returns in any
scheme and that each scheme is subject to 20 : 25 condition [I.e minimum 20 investors per
scheme and one investor can hold more than 25% stake in the corpus in that one scheme].

MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA
In 1963, the day the concept of Mutual Fund took birth in India. 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 were accustomed with guaranteed high returns by the beginning 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 preparedness of risks factor after the liberalization.
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 was 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
whereabouts 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 securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) came out with comprehensive
regulation in 1993 which defined the structure of Mutual Fund and Asset Management
Companies for the first time.
The supervisory authority adopted a set of measures to create a transparent and
competitive environment in mutual funds. Some of them were like relaxing investment
41
42. Projectsformba.blogspot.com
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.
Several private sectors Mutual Funds were launched in 1993 and 1994. The share of the
private players has risen rapidly since then. Currently there are 34 Mutual Fund organizations in
India managing 1,02,000 crores.
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 don’ts of mutual funds.
Mutual fund industry has seen a lot of changes in past few years with multinational
companies coming into the country, bringing in their professional expertise in managing funds
worldwide. In the past few months there has been a consolidation phase going on in the mutual
fund industry in India. Now investors have a wide range of Schemes to choose from depending
on their individual profiles.

MUTUAL FUND COMPANIES IN INDIA:
The concept of mutual funds in India dates back to the year 1963. The era between 1963
and 1987 marked the existance of only one mutual fund company in India with Rs. 67bn assets
under management (AUM), by the end of its monopoly era, the Unit Trust of India (UTI). By the
end of the 80s decade, few other mutual fund companies in India took their position in mutual
fund market.
The new entries of mutual fund companies in India were SBI Mutual Fund, Canbank
Mutual Fund, Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund, Indian Bank Mutual Fund, Bank of India
Mutual Fund.
The succeeding decade showed a new horizon in Indian mutual fund industry. By the end
of 1993, the total AUM of the industry was Rs. 470.04 bn. The private sector funds started
penetrating the fund families. In the same year the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into
existance with re-registering all mutual funds except UTI. The regulations were further given a
revised shape in 1996.
Kothari Pioneer was the first private sector mutual fund company in India which has now
merged with Franklin Templeton. Just after ten years with private sector players penetration, the
total assets rose up to Rs. 1218.05 bn. Today there are 33 mutual fund companies in India.

Fund has slipped from the first slot. Earlier, in May 2006, the Prudential ICICI Mutual Fund was
ranked at the number one slot in terms of total assets.
In the very next month, the UTIMF had regained its top position as the largest fund house
in India.
Now, according to the current pegging order and the data released by Association of
Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), the Reliance Mutual Fund, with a January-end AUM of Rs
39,020 crore has become the largest mutual fund in India

to the top slot in terms of asset under management (AUM). In the last one year to January, AUM
of the Indian fund industry has risen by 64% to Rs 3.39 lakh crore.
According to the data released by Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), the
combined average AUM of the 35 fund houses in the country increased to Rs 5,512.99 billion in

74.25 billion jump in AUM to Rs 883.87 billion at April-end.
The second-largest fund house HDFC MF gained Rs 59.24 billion in its AUM at Rs 638.80
billion.

UNIT TRUST OF INDIA MUTUAL FUND
'Unit Trust of India was created by the UTI Act passed by the Parliament in 1963. For
more than two decades it remained the sole vehicle for investment in the capital market by the
Indian citizens. In mid- 1980s public sector banks were allowed to open mutual funds. The real
vibrancy and competition in the MF industry came with the setting up of the Regulator SEBI and
its laying down the MF Regulations in 1993.UTI maintained its pre-eminent place till 2001,
when a massive decline in the market indices and negative investor sentiments after Ketan
Parekh scam created doubts about the capacity of UTI to meet its obligations to the investors.
This was further compounded by two factors; namely, its flagship and largest scheme US 64 was
sold and re-purchased not at intrinsic NAV but at artificial price and its Assured Return Schemes
had promised returns as high as 18% over a period going up to two decades.
In order to distance Government from running a mutual fund the ownership was
transferred to four institutions; namely SBI, LIC, BOB and PNB, each owning 25%. UTI lost its
market dominance rapidly and by end of 2005,when the new share-holders actually paid the
consideration money to Government its market share had come down to close to 10%.
A new board was constituted and a new management inducted. Systematic study of its
problems role and functions was carried out with the help of a reputed international consultant.
Once again UTI has emerged as a serious player in the industry. Some of the funds have won
famous awards, including the Best Infra Fund globally from Lipper. UTI has been able to
benchmark its employee compensation to the best in the market.
Besides running domestic MF Schemes UTI AMC is also a registered portfolio manager
under the SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations.
