EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3
The primary objective of the project is to study, understand and
analyze various aspects related to the Investment patterns of Trusts
and Societies. The research is based on the information collected by
the help of the questionnaires filled by various Trusts and Societies
visited. The questionnaire was formulated with the aim of finding
about the preferences of the societies when they go in for the
investment of surpluses generated by them. Due to lack of time the
survey was limited to South Delhi. I visited over 250 Trusts and
Societies during my survey. An attempt was made to judge on the
basis of the response generated, the scope to expand the services of
HDFC Ltd. in the area of Trust Deposit. The survey helped to draw a
general trend of the investment pattern of the Trusts and Societies.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Primary Objective:
The primary objective is to study, understand and analyze various
aspects related to the Investment patterns of Trusts and Societies.
Research Design:
The research is based on the information collected by the help of the
questionnaires filled.
The first three questions aim at the basic introductory information of
the organization and the person being interviewed thus rendering the
follow up work easier. The fourth question is about the financial
standing of an organization, it gives an idea about the financial status
of the society being approached. The fifth question aims at generating
information about the various sources of funds of the societies. The
sixth and seventh questions deal about the financial performance of
the societies. The eighth question is to find out about what a society
does with the surplus amount generated by them. The ninth question
is meant to gather information about the people who are instrumental
in advising and putting to action the investment plans for the society.
The tenth question is about what kind of investments are preferred by
the society, on the basis of the organization or on the basis of the time
period. The eleventh question talks about the institutions in which the
societies make their investments in, say the banks or other institutes.
The twelfth question tries to assess what is it exactly that the societies
look for, while investing. For example do they prefer a high rate of
interest, or safety, or location, etc..
5
Thus the research is based only on the basis of the information
gathered with the help of the questionnaires.

CRITICAL REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Trusts
Creating A Trust
7
The trustee is the individual, institution or organization that holds
legal title to the trust property and is responsible for managing and
administering those assets. If not designated by name, a trustee will
be appointed by the court. In some cases, a trustor can serve as the
trustee. It is also possible for two or more trustees to serve together,
or for both an individual and an organization to act as co-trustees.
Separate trustees may also be named to manage different parts of a
trust estate.
The general duties and obligations of the beneficiary, the trustee and
the trustor are summarized elsewhere in this pamphlet.
8
The trust agreement is a contract that formally expresses the
understanding between the trustor and trustee. It generally contains a
set of instructions to describe the manner in which the trust property
is to be held and invested, the purposes for which its benefits (such as
income or principal) are to be used, and the duration of the
agreement.
Types Of Trusts
Living Trusts
Living trusts are created during the lifetime of the trustor. Property
held in a living trust is not normally subject to probate (the court-
supervised process to validate a will and transfer property on the
death of the trustor). In Washington, because such property is not
subject to probate, it need not be disclosed in the court record and
confidentiality may be maintained. Such trusts are widely used
9
because they allow the trustor to designate a trustee to provide
professional management.
Testamentary Trusts
10
A testamentary trust gives the trustor substantial control over his or
her estate distribution. It also may be used to achieve significant
savings in the future. For example, by using a testamentary trust, a
trustor can provide for a child's education or can delay the receipt of
property by a child until the child gains financial maturity. Moreover,
given the proper form of trust, property may be exempted from death
taxation on the later death of a trust beneficiary. However, a
generation-skipping transfer tax may still apply.
1. Add or withdraw some assets from the trust during your lifetime;
11
An irrevocable living trust may not be altered or terminated by the
trustor once the agreement is signed. There are two distinct
advantages of irrevocable trusts:
Establishing A Trust
12
In creating a trust, you should consider several factors and obligations,
including:
The purpose of the trust: your goals, or what you hope to accomplish
by the arrangement;
The type of trust, and how versatile or flexible your plans are.
Alternatives for disposing of assets in case the trust conditions are not
met or circumstances change; and
13
Once a trust has been established, a periodic review of the status of
the trust is advisable; you may want to obtain professional assistance
appropriate to the requirements of the trust.
Location Of A Trust
Act impartially, administering the trust for the benefit of all trust
beneficiaries;
14
Administer the trust property with reasonable care and skill,
considering both its safety and the amount of income it produces;
Perform taxpayer duties, such as filing tax returns for the trust and
paying required taxes.
The trustee must administer the trust property only for the designated
beneficiaries and may not use trust principal or income for his or her
own benefit. In other words, a trustee is usually prohibited from
borrowing or buying from the trust, from selling his or her own
property to it, and from using the trust assets as collateral for a
personal debt.
15
institution, may be willing to serve for little or no fee. Furthermore,
this person could add a more personal touch for special understanding
to the needs of the beneficiaries. However, you will want to be certain
that any nominated individual has the skill and experience necessary
to properly manage the trust property.
Insurance Trusts
To obtain the tax benefits of having the proceeds excluded from the
decedent's estate, it is imperative that the insured divest himself or
herself of all interest in the policy, and place those rights in the hands
16
of the trustee. For this reason, it is preferable to have an individual
other than the insured act as trustee.
This type of trust cannot be revocable, and the insured cannot retain
any right to trust income. To ensure the tax advantages are retained,
it is important that the document be properly drafted. The tax rules in
this area are quite complex, so professional legal assistance may be
helpful in the preparation of such a document.
Charitable Trusts
17
with the charity to receive the money or property thereafter (e.g.,
upon the death of the noncharitable beneficiary).
Longevity Of A Trust
Taxes
The use of a trust may help you achieve certain goals, such as
reduction of taxes. However, while trusts can offer a number of tax
advantages, tax avoidance should not be the sole motivation for using
this estate-planning tool.
18
It also should be recognized that the laws governing trusts and their
taxation are complex and subject to change. As an example, under the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, income earned in a trust which has a
beneficiary under the age of 14 will be taxed at that beneficiary's
marginal tax rate. This is a significant departure from prior tax law,
which provided that such income be taxed to the child at his or her
own tax rate, often resulting in little or no tax being due.
A trustee's fee may vary with the skill and expertise the trustee offers.
Charges may also be influenced by the size and complexity of the trust
19
estate. This affects the nature and amount of services required, such
as record-keeping, asset management and tax planning.

Corporate Governance
The concept of corporate governance is entering a phase of global
convergence. The driver behind this is the recognition that companies
need to attract and protect all stakeholders, especially investors – both
domestic and foreign. Global capital seeks its own equilibrium and
naturally flows to where it is best protected and bypasses where
23
protection is limited or non-existent. Companies stand to gain by
adopting systems that bolster investor trust through transparency,
accountability and fairness.
The tide of regulation has risen to a high watermark and while there is
compelling evidence of financial benefits to companies which adopt
good governance practices, it has often been felt that the ethos of
corporate governance still needs to sink in. Corporate irregularities
continue to plague investors as regulators relentlessly strive to cleanse
the system. Financial scandals often prompt an overhaul of regulation.
But the efficacy of regulation can get negated when compliance
becomes a box-ticking exercise with prohibitive costs. Again, there is
no single model of good corporate governance. Principles, values and
ethics cannot be typecast into a universal one-size-fits-all framework.

FOUNDER OF HDFC
An extract from the book 'A Tribute' If ever there was a man with a
mission it was Hasmukhbhai Parekh, our Founder and
Chairman-Emeritus, who left this earthly abode on
November 18, 1994.
In 1956 he began his lifelong financial affair with the economic world,
as General Manager of the newly-formed Industrial Credit and
Investment Corporation of India (ICICI). He rose to become Chairman
and continued so till his retirement in 1972.
At the ripe age of 60, Hasmukhbhai started his second dynamic life,
even more illustrious than his first. His vision for mortgage finance for
housing, gave birth to the Housing Development Finance Corporation –
it was a trend-setter for housing finance in the whole Asian continent.
31
A soft spoken man of few words, Mr. Parekh nevertheless held strong
and definite views with a quiet conviction. He was always concerned
with building bridges, improving and encouraging communication
between people.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
History
Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The
General Bank of India coming into existence in 1786. This was followed
by Bank of Hindustan. Both these banks are now defunct. The oldest
bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India being established
as "The Bank of Calcutta" in Calcutta in June 1806. Couple of decades
later, foreign banks like HSBC and Credit Lyonnais started their
Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time, Calcutta was
the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British
Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and
prospered. The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank
set up in 1865.
33
this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a leisurely pace of
around 4%-also called as the Hindu growth of the Indian economy.
34
intensified, as large global players emerge on the scene. Increasing
competition is squeezing
profitability and forcing banks to work efficiently on shrinking spreads.
A positive fallout of competition is the greater choice available to
consumers, and the increased level of sophistication and technology in
banks. As banks benchmark themselves against global standards,
there has been a marked increase in disclosures and transparency in
bank balance sheets as also greater
focus on corporate governance.
Trends
In India, one of the largest financial institutions, ICICI, took the lead
towards universal banking with its reverse merger with ICICI Bank a
couple of years ago. Another mega financial institution, IDBI, has also
adopted the same strategy and has already transformed itself into a
universal bank. This trend may lead to promoting the concept of a
financial super market chain, making available all types of credit and
35
non-fund facilities under one roof or specialised subsidiaries under one
umbrella organisation.
Growth statistics
36
Banks and consumer finance
Indian banks, particularly private banks, are riding high on the retail
business. ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank have witnessed over 70 per cent
year-on-year growth in retail loan assets in the second quarter of
2005-06. Annual revenues in the domestic retail banking market are
expected to more than double to US$ 16.5 billion by 2010 from about
US$ 6.4 billion at present, says a McKinsey study.
The home loan sector is also on a smooth course. The average loan
size of home finance companies is increasing. HDFC, the second
largest player in the home finance business, has seen average loan
increase from US$ 10,773 in FY04 to US$ 13,467 in FY05, a change of
almost 25 per cent. For ICICI Bank, which is the largest player in the
business, the average ticket size is about US$ 13,467 – US$ 15,711
and has increased by 10-15 per cent over last year.

on a bank trying to graduate from completely regulated sellers market
to completed
deregulated customers market.
New rules: As a result, the market place has been redefined with new
rules of the game. Banks are transforming to universal banking,
adding new channels with lucrative pricing and freebees to offer.
Natural fall out of thist. skill building has led to a series of innovative
product offerings catering to various customer segments, specifically
retail credit.
38
There are multiple choices, the wallet share is reduced per bank with
demand on flexibility and customization. Given the relatively low
switching costs; customer retention calls for customized service and
hassle free, flawless service delivery.
39
Corporate governance: Besides using their strengths and strategic
initiatives for creating shareholder value, banks have to be conscious
of their responsibilities towards
corporate governance. Following financial liberalisation, as the
ownership of banks gets broadbased, the importance of institutional
and individual shareholders will increase.
In such a scenario, banks will need to put in place a code for corporate
governance for benefiting all stakeholders of a corporate entity.
Competency Gap: Placing the right skill at the right place will
determine success. The competency gap needs to be addressed
simultaneously otherwise there will be missed opportunities. The focus
of people will be on doing work but not providing solutions, on
escalating problems rather than solving them and on disposing
customers instead of using the opportunity to
cross sell.

Investment in India - Banking System
The last decade witnessed the maturity of India's financial markets.
Since 1991, every governments of India took major steps in reforming
the financial sector of the country. The important achievements in the
following fields is discussed under serparate heads:

rate was maintained. The borrowers did not pay high price while
depositors had incentives to save. It was something between the
nominal rate of interest and the expected rate of inflation.
Regulators
The Finance Ministry continuously formulated major policies in the field
of financial sector of the country. The Government accepted the
important role of regulators. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has
become more independant. Securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
(IRDA) became important institutions. Opinions are also there that
there should be a super-regulator for the financial services sector
instead of multiplicity of regulators.
Almost 80% of the business are still controlled by Public Sector Banks
(PSBs). PSBs are still dominating the commercial banking system.
Shares of the leading PSBs are already listed on the stock exchanges.
The RBI has given licences to new private sector banks as part of the
liberalisation process. The RBI has also been granting licences to
industrial houses. Many banks are successfully running in the retail
and consumer segments but are yet to deliver services to industrial
finance, retail trade, small business and agricultural finance.
The PSBs will play an important role in the industry due to its number
of branches and foreign banks facing the constrait of limited number of
branches. Hence, in order to achieve an efficient banking system, the
onus is on the Government to encourage the PSBs to be run on
professional lines.
42
FIs's access to SLR funds reduced. Now they have to approach the
capital market for debt and equity funds.
In the case of new NBFCs seeking registration with the RBI, the
requirement of minimum net owned funds, has been raised to Rs.2
crores.
The RBI conducts its sales of dated securities and treasury bills
through its open market operations (OMO) window. Primary dealers
bid for these securities and also trade in them. The DFHI is the
principal agency for developing a secondary market for money market
instruments and Government of India treasury bills. The RBI has
introduced a liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) in which liquidity is
43
injected through reverse repo auctions and liquidity is sucked out
through repo auctions.
Mutual Funds
44
The mutual funds industry is now regulated under the SEBI (Mutual
Funds) Regulations, 1996 and amendments thereto. With the issuance
of SEBI guidelines, the industry had a framework for the establishment
of many more players, both Indian and foreign players. The Unit Trust
of India remains easily the biggest mutual fund controlling a corpus of
nearly Rs.70,000 crores, but its share is going down. The biggest
shock to the mutual fund industry during recent times was the
insecurity generated in the minds of investors regarding the US 64
scheme. With the growth in the securities markets and tax advantages
granted for investment in mutual fund units, mutual funds started
becoming popular.
The foreign owned AMCs are the ones which are now setting the pace
for the industry. They are introducing new products, setting new
standards of customer service, improving disclosure standards and
experimenting with new types of distribution.
45
Overall Approach To Reforms
The last ten years have seen major improvements in the working of
various financial market participants. The government and the
regulatory authorities have followed a step-by-step approach, not a big
bang one. The entry of foreign players has assisted in the introduction
of international practices and systems. Technology developments have
improved customer service. Some gaps however remain (for example:
lack of an inter-bank interest rate benchmark, an active corporate debt
market and a developed derivatives market). On the whole, the
cumulative effect of the developments since 1991 has been quite
encouraging. An indication of the strength of the reformed Indian
financial system can be seen from the way India was not affected by
the Southeast Asian crisis.

making client or broker relationship more transparent which included

PSBs, which at one time were much sought after jobs. Private sector
banks will be self consolidated while co-operative and rural banks will
be encouraged for consolidation, and anyway play only a niche role.
In the case of insurance, the Life Insurance Corporation of India is a
behemoth, while the four public sector general insurance companies
will probably move towards consolidation with a bit of nudging. The
UTI is yet again a big institution, even though facing difficult times,
and most other public sector players are already exiting the mutual
fund business. There are a number of small mutual fund players in the
private sector, but the business being comparatively new for the
private players, it will take some time.

FINDINGS & ANALYSIS
Question no. 1 to 3
The first three questions being self explanatory do not need to be
elaborated upon. They aim at the basic introductory information of the
organization and the person being interviewed thus rendering the
follow up work easier.
Question no. 4
The financial standing of an organization is instrumental in the
advisory council deciding upon the investments to be opted for. Further
the future decisions regarding the use of the funds generated and
important all the more, the decisions relating to the fund raising
procedure of the society are reviewed in wake of the correct position of
the finances of the society. Hence the forth question which helps to
give an idea about the financial status of the society being
approached, thus enabling the organization to market the appropriate
scheme.

Question no. 5
The financial position of the society depends a lot on its ability to
successfully raise funds for its working. Also a regular and steady
source of funds enables the society to successfully manage the
expenses and earn a decent amount of surplus that can be
apportioned in many ways, one of those ways definitely being
investing into some profitable and safe deposit schemes, which forms
the base of the survey conducted. Therefore the fifth question aims at
generating information about the various sources of funds of the
societies approached.
Quantitative Analysis
From the responses generated the following results were drawn:
Donations 75%
Income from the institutions 4%
Aid 8%
Others 13%

Conclusion
Mainly the source of income has been found to be Donations received
by the trusts. The share of other income sources is very low as
compared to Donations.
Question no. 6
The funds earned by the society need to be consistent and should be
able to meet the expenses of the society satisfactorily. The fact
whether the society is able to meet the expenses by the funds raised
by them, easily or not, points in the direction of the sound or not so
sound position of the society. Thus giving an idea about the surplus or
the deficit being earned by the society. Hence the sixth question
enables us to judge which societies to approach while targeting a
particular scheme.
Quantitative Analysis
From the responses generated the following results were drawn:
Yes 80%
No 20%
58
NO 20%
YES
No
YES 80%
Conclusion
The management of most of the Societies visited accepted that the
funds they are collecting, are meeting the expenses satisfactorily.
Question no. 7
The financial consistency of the society is the indicator of the growth of
the society. The change in the consistency in any direction, requires
the reviewing of the financial policies of the society. The more
consistent the society over the longer period, the stronger the financial
position of the society. Consistency gives a solid base to the financial
working of the society. Hence consistency is the criteria for judgement
and has been incorporated in the questionnaire in the form of seventh
question. It was observed that the officials did not give a straight
forward answer to this question, most of them preferring not to
answer the question.
The second part in the question which aimed at finding about any
significant happenings in the working of the society, good or bad, for
59
such happening affects the working and the financial position of the
society. The general response to this question was “nothing in
particular”, with a couple of responses bringing out the good aspects of
the changes brought about by certain happenings. It was observed
that the officials did not come out with the information about any
adverse happening.
Question no. 8
What the societies do with the excess funds is of utmost importance
to both the society and the companies that aim to market their
schemes to these societies. The amount of excess funds that remain
with these societies determines the uses to which it is put. These could
be towards the development of the society or for expansion purposes
or for investment purposes. Therefore this question has been included
to enable the attainment of further information on the investment
pattern of the surveyed societies which would form the base for
deciding upon the marketing of the offered investment schemes to
these societies.
Quantitative Analysis
The results obtained were in the following fashion:
The surplus is mainly used for the following purposes:
Development 8%
Expansion 19%
Investment 73%
60
Q8) HOW DO YOU APPORTION THE SURPLUS GENERATED BY THE SOCIETY?
8%
19%
73%
Conclusion
The surplus generated by the society is mostly being used for making
investments.
A very small percentage of the societies are using these funds for the
expansion activities or developmental activities. It was seen that none
of the societies funded to the parent institution
The main reason cited for this attitude may be that these societies rely
heavily on the interest accrued out of these deposits. In other terms it
is there main source of income.
Question no. 9
The ninth question is meant to gather information about people who
are instrumental in advising and putting to action the investment plans
for the society. These could be people belonging to the accounts and
finance department, the trustees or the governing body, auditors,
chartered accountants, etc.
Quantitative Analysis
From the responses generated the following results were drawn:
Accounts and finance department 11%
61
Chartered accountants/consultants 6%
Auditors 7%
Trustees or Governing bodies 76%
76%
ACCOUNTS & FINANCE DEPARTMENT
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS/CONSULTANTS
AUDITORS
TRUSTEES/GOVERNING BODY
Conclusion
The trustees or the governing body of the societies play the key role in
recommending investments to the society.
Question no. 11
This question aims at gathering information about where these
societies like to invest their surplus money. It tries to find out if
investments are made only in banks or they are made in other
organizations as well. Incase they prefer only the banks then what is
the reason behind it.
Incase the answer turned out to be negative, then the next part tries
to bring out specific preferences of these societies apart from banks.

Conclusion
A very large majority of the societies believe in investing their surplus
in banks, as they feel that the investments made with the banks are
safe and secure and yield a high rate of interest.

Q11B) IN WHICH TYPE OF INSTITUTION IS THE MONEY INVESTED?
11%
22%
16%
11%
40%
PSU'S FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS UTI HOUSING FINANCE INSTITUTIONS NON BANKING FINANCE
Conclusion
It is a case with those societies who don’t invest in the banks.
In such cases the second most favoured option is the various financial
institutions.
Question no. 10
Each organization or society has its own preferences for investing its
excess funds. These preferences and consequent decisions could be
guided by certain rules and regulations laid down by the department
with which they are registered, along with their own reasons which
would justify their investment decisions as being in the best interest of
64
the society. The first part of the question deals with the choices of
these societies with regards to the decision for investing in public or
private sector.
Quantitative Analysis
The results showed the following:
Public sector 80%
Private sector 20%
Conclusions
A huge majority of the respondents agreed to have made/ willing to
make investments in a public sector organisation.
The next part of the question deals with the preferences of the society
to invest in various deposit schemes differentiated from each other on
the basis of the time period.
Quantitative Analysis
The results showed the following:
Long term 32%

Conclusions
Almost half of the responses were in the favour of medium range
investments. And approximately one third of the respondents were
in the favour of either short range or long range investments.
Question no.12
There are various dimensions which are thoroughly scrutinized before
the investment decisions are implemented. Hence the twelfth question
tries to assess what is it exactly that the trusts look for, while
investing. For example do they prefer a high rate of interest, or better
service, or safety, etc.. these are the aspects which are dealt in the
last question.
