ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We are thankful to MR. Samarjeet sen gupta who has given this opportunity

gathered knowledge of services which are provided by the mutual fund
houses and also find out which of the firm is having good service.
1) INTRODUCTION
Mutual funds works in the area of stocks and bonds.
Stocks
Stocks represent shares of ownership in a public company. Examples of public

companies include Reliance, ONGC and Infosys. Stocks are considered to be the
most common owned investment traded on the market.
Bonds
Bonds are basically the money which you lend to the government or a company,
and in return you can receive interest on your invested amount, which is back
over predetermined amounts of time. Bonds are considered to be the most
common lending investment traded on the market.
There are many other types of investments other than stocks and bonds
(including annuities, real estate, and precious metals), but the majority of
mutual funds invest in stocks and/or bonds.
Regulatory authorities
To protect the interest of the investors, SEBI formulates policies and regulates
the mutual funds. It notified regulations in 1993 (fully revised in 1996) and
issues guidelines from time to time. MF either promoted by public or by private
sector entities including one promoted by foreign entities is governed by these
Regulations.
SEBI approved Asset Management Company (AMC) manages the funds by
making investments in various types of securities. Custodian, registered with
SEBI, holds the securities of various schemes of the fund in its custody.
According to SEBI Regulations, two thirds of the directors of Trustee Company

or board of trustees must be independent.
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) reassures the investors in units
of mutual funds that the mutual funds function within the strict regulatory
framework. Its objective is to increase public awareness of the mutual fund
industry.
AMFI also is engaged in upgrading professional standards and in promoting

best industry practices in diverse areas such as valuation, disclosure,
transparency etc.
2) Mutual funds
What is mutual fund?
A mutual fund is just the connecting bridge or a financial intermediary that

allows a group of investors to pool their money together with a predetermined
investment objective. The mutual fund will have a fund manager who is
responsible for investing the gathered money into specific securities (stocks or
bonds). When anyone invest in a mutual fund, the person is buying units or
portions of the mutual fund and thus on investing becomes a shareholder or unit
holder of the fund. Mutual funds are considered as one of the best available
investments as compare to others they are very cost efficient and also easy to
invest in, thus by pooling money together in a mutual fund, investors can
purchase stocks or bonds with much lower trading costs than if they tried to do
it on their own. But the biggest advantage to mutual funds is diversification, by
minimizing risk & maximizing returns
Types of mutual fund
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
Mutual fund category: BY STRUCTURE
i) Open ended scheme
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
ii)Close ended scheme
These schemes have a pre-specified maturity period. One can invest directly in
the scheme at the time of the initial issue. Depending on the structure of the
scheme there are two exit options available to an investor after the initial offer
period closes. Investors can transact (buy or sell) the units of the scheme on the
stock exchanges where they are listed. The market price at the stock exchanges
could vary from the net asset value (NAV) of the scheme on account of demand
and supply situation, expectations of unit holder and other market factors.
Alternatively some close-ended schemes provide an additional option of selling
the units directly to the Mutual Fund through periodic repurchase at the
schemes NAV; however one cannot buy units and can only sell units during the
liquidity window. SEBI Regulations ensure that at least one of the two exit
routes is provided to the investor
iii) 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
Mutual fund category: BY NATURE
i) 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
ii) 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.
 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.
iii) BALANCED FUND
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.
 Mutual fund 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.
Other scheme
Tax scheme
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 scheme
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 scheme
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.
Types of return
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
3) Different plans that Mutual fund offers?
Dividend Plan: Under the Dividend Plan, the fund distributes a substantial part
of the surplus to investors in the form of dividend (income distribution).
Growth Plan: Under the Growth Plan, an investor realizes only the capital
appreciation on the investment (by an increase in NAV) and normally does not
get any income in the form of income distribution.
Re-investment Plan: Here the income distribution accrued on a mutual fund

scheme is automatically re-invested in purchasing additional units under the
scheme. In most cases mutual funds offer the investors an option of collecting
income distribution or re-invest in the same scheme at scheme NAV/NAV based
price.
4) What is a mutual fund's NAV?
Net asset value (NAV) represents a fund's per share market value. This is the
price at which investors buy ("bid price") fund shares from a fund company and
sell them ("redemption price") to a fund company. It is derived by dividing the
total value of all the cash and securities in a fund's portfolio, less any liabilities,
by the number of shares outstanding. An NAV computation is undertaken once
at the end of each trading day based on the closing market prices of the
portfolio's securities.
For example, if a fund has assets of $50 million and liabilities of $10 million, it
would have a NAV of $40 million.
This number is important to investors, because it is from NAV that the price per
unit of a fund is calculated. By dividing the NAV of a fund by the number of
outstanding units, you are left with the price per unit. In our example, if the fund
had 4 million shares outstanding, the price-per-share value would be $40 million
divided by 4 million, which equals $10.
This pricing system for the trading of shares in a mutual fund differs
significantly from that of common stock issued by a company listed on a stock
exchange. In this instance, a company issues a finite number of shares through
an initial public offering (IPO), and possibly subsequent additional offerings,
which then trade in the secondary market. In this market, stock prices are set by
market forces of supply and demand. The pricing system for stocks is based
solely on market sentiment.
Because mutual funds distribute virtually all their income and realized capital
gains to fund shareholders, a mutual fund's NAV is relatively unimportant in
gauging a fund's performance, which is best judged by its total return.
5) ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE OF MUTUAL FUND.
Advantage of mutual funds.
1. Professional Management - The basic advantage of funds is that, they are

professional managed, by well qualified professional. Investors purchase funds
because they do not have the time or the expertise to manage their own
portfolio. A mutual fund is considered to be relatively less expensive way to make
and monitor their investments
2. Diversification - Purchasing units in a mutual fund instead of buying

individual stocks or bonds, the investors risk is spread out and minimized up to
certain extent. The idea behind diversification is to invest in a large number of
assets so that a loss in any particular investment is minimized by gains in others.
3. Economies of Scale - Mutual fund buy and sell large amounts of securities at
a time, thus help to reducing transaction costs, and help to bring down the
average cost of the unit for their investors.
4. Liquidity - Just like an individual stock, mutual fund also allows investors to
liquidate their holdings as and when they want.
5. Simplicity - Investments in mutual fund is considered to be easy, compare to

other available instruments in the market, and the minimum investment is
small. Most AMC also have automatic purchase plans whereby as little as Rs.
2000, where SIP start with just Rs.50 per month basis.
Disadvantages of Investing Mutual Funds:
1.Professional Management- Some funds doesn’t perform in neither the

market, as their management is not dynamic enough to explore the available
opportunity in the market, thus many investors debate over whether or not the
so-called professionals are any better than mutual fund or investor himself, for
picking up stocks.
2. Costs – The biggest source of AMC income, is generally from the entry & exit
load which they charge from an investors, at the time of purchase. The mutual
fund industries are thus charging extra cost under layers of jargon
3. Dilution - Because funds have small holdings across different companies, high
returns from a few investments often don't make much difference on the overall
return. Dilution is also the result of a successful fund getting too big. When
money pours into funds that have had strong success, the manager often has
trouble finding a good investment for all the new money.
4. Taxes - when making decisions about your money, fund managers don't
consider your personal tax situation. For example, when a fund manager sells a
security, a capital-gain tax is triggered, which affects how profitable the
individual is from the sale. It might have been more advantageous for the
individual to defer the capital gains liability.

possible tax consequences, and the inability of management to
guarantee a superior return.
There are many, many types of mutual funds. You can classify funds
based on asset class, investing strategy, region, etc.
Mutual funds have lots of costs.
Costs can be broken down into ongoing fees (represented by
theexpense ratio) and transaction fees (loads)
The biggest problems with mutual funds are their costs and fees.
Mutual funds are easy to buy and sell. You can either buy them
directly from the fund company or through a third party.
Mutual fund ads can be very deceiving.
