I NTRODUCTION

The financial market plays a crucial role in the in the economic development

of a country by facilitating the allocation of scarce resources. Financial

markets essentially involve the allocation of resources. This can be thought of

as the brain of the entire economic system, the locus of central decision-

making; if they fail , not only will the sectors profit be lower than would

otherwise have been, but the performance of the entire economic system may

be impaired.

The efficiency of financial market how ever, depends on the existence ofactive and efficient financial intermediaries in the system. Deposit taking

institutional investor is the important financial intermediaries involved in the

task of allocating assets. Structural changes in the financial market have

induced a reverse trend in f inancia l in te rmediation, i.e. f inancial

disintermediation, in which the central role of banking is being taken over by

investment institutions and institutional investors. The shift from a credit-

based system to a financial has initiated the process of disintermediation, and

capital market based factors like insurance, pension funds and mutual funds

are increasingly playing the central role.

The reforms have successfully dismantled the entry barriers, with the result

that today there are domestic and foreign financial institutions, like mutual

funds, broking firms and insurance companies, operating in the Indian market.

The introduction of capital adequacy norms, prudential regulation and world

class regulatory mechanisms to protect the interest of investor, besides the

strict requirement of disclosure, have given a boost to the confidence of

domestic and foreign investors. The Indian economy has slowly integrateditself with the global economy and financial market.

What is a Mutual Fund?

Mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling the resources by issuing units to the investors

and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as disclosed in offerdocument.

Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectorsand thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may notmove in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issuesunits to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investorsof mutual funds are known as unit holders. The profits or losses are shared by theinvestors in proportion to their investments. The mutual funds normally come out with anumber of schemes with different investment objectives which are launched from time totime.

A mutual fund is required to be registered with Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI) which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds from the public.


12/77


2.1 - How is a mutual fund set up?A mutual fund is set up in the form of a trust, which has sponsor, trustees, assetManagement Company (AMC) and custodian. The trust is established by a sponsor ormore than one sponsor who is like promoter of a company. The trustees of the mutualfund hold its property for the benefit of the unit holders. Asset Management Company(AMC) approved by SEBI manages the funds by making investments in various types ofsecurities.

Custodian, who is registered with SEBI, holds the securities of various schemes of thefund in its custody. The trustees are vested with the general power of superintendenceand direction over AMC. They monitor the performance and compliance of SEBIRegulations by the mutual fund.

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 thesponsors. Also, 50% of the directors of AMC must be independent. All mutual funds arerequired to be registered with SEBI before they launch any scheme. However, Unit Trustof India (UTI) is not registered with SEBI (as on January 15, 2002).

2.2 - What is Net Asset Value (NAV) of a scheme?The performance of a particular scheme of a mutual fund is denoted by Net Asset Value(NAV).

Mutual funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities markets. Insimple words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the securities held by the scheme.Since market value of securities changes every day, NAV of a scheme also varies on dayto day basis. The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided bythe total number of units of the scheme on any particular date. For example, if the market

value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs 200 lakhs and the mutual fund hasissued 10 lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the NAV per unit of the fund isRs.20. NAV is required to be disclosed by the mutual funds on a regular basis - daily orweekly - depending on the type of scheme.


13/77


2.3 - Scope for Development of Mutual FundA Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers anopportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at arelatively low cost. India has a burgeoning population of middle class now estimatedaround 300 million. A typical Indian middle class family can have liquid savings rangingfrom Rs.2 to Rs.10 Lacs today. Investments in Banks are liquid and safe, but with thefalling rate of interest offered by Banks on Deposits, it is no longer attractive. At best apart can be saved in bank deposits, but what is the other sources of investment for thecommon man? Mutual Fund is the ready answer. Viewed in this sense globally India isone of the best markets for Mutual Fund Business, so also for Insurance business. This isthe reason that foreign companies compete with one another in setting up insurance andmutual fund business units in India. The sheer magnitude of the population of educated

white collar employees provides unlimited scope for development of Mutual FundBusiness in India.

2.4. - Benefits of Mutual Funds

There are numerous benefits of investing in mutual funds and one of the key reasons for

its phenomenal success in the developed markets like US and UK is the range of benefitsthey offer, which are unmatched by most other investment avenues. We have explainedthe key benefits in this section. The benefits have been broadly split into universalbenefits, applicable to all schemes, and benefits applicable specifically to open-endedschemes.


14/77


1. Professional Management

The investor avails of the services of experienced and skilled professionals who are

backed by a dedicated investment research team which analyses the performanceand prospects of companies and selects suitable investments to achieve theobjectives of the scheme.

2. Diversification

Mutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross-section ofindustries and sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do allstocks decline at the same time and in the same proportion. You achieve thisdiversification through a Mutual Fund with far less money than you can do on yourown.

3. Convenient Administration

Investing n in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps you avoid manyproblems such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and unnecessary follow up withbrokers and companies. Mutual Funds save your time and make investing easy andconvenient.

4. Return PotentialOver a medium to long-term, Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a higherreturn as they invest in a diversified basket of selected securities.

5. Low Costs

Mutual Funds are a relatively less expensive way to invest compared to directlyinvesting in the capital markets because the benefits of scale in brokerage, custodialand other fees translate into lower costs for investors.

6. Liquidity

In open-ended schemes, you can get your money back promptly at net asset valuerelated prices from the Mutual Fund itself. With close-ended schemes, you can sellyour units on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or avail of the facilityof direct repurchase at NAV related prices which some close-ended and intervalschemes offer you periodically.


15/77


7. Transparency

You get regular information on the value of your investment in addition todisclosure on the specific investments made by your scheme, the proportioninvested in each class of assets and the fund manager's investment strategy andoutlook.

8. Flexibility

Through features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans anddividend reinvestment plans, you can systematically invest or withdraw fundsaccording to your needs and convenience.

9. Choice of Schemes

Mutual Funds offer a family of schemes to suit your varying needs over a lifetime.

10.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 ofMutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI.

11.Understanding and Managing Risk

All investments whether in shares, debentures or deposits involve risk: share valuemay go down depending upon the performance of the company, the industry, stateof capital market and the economy; generally, however longer the term, lesser therisk; companies may default in payment of interest/principal on their deposits/bondsdebentures; the rate of interest on investment may fall short of the rate of inflationreducing the purchasing power.

While risk cannot be eliminated, skillful management can minimize risk. Mutualfund helps to reduce risk through diversification and professional management. Theexperience and expertise of Mutual Fund managers in selecting fundamentallysound securities and timing their purchases and sales help them to build a diversifiedportfolio that minimize risk and maximizes returns.


16/77


12. Tax Benefits

The incomes under Mutual Funds are much more Tax efficient than any fixed

income security due to the following benefits:-

Section 80L of the income Tax Act ,1961 enables tax free income up to rs15000 and dividends from MF s are eligible for this benefit.

When you invest for over a year, the tax payable on encashment is Longterm Capitals gains tax at 20%. Once also get an indexation benefit whichhas been approximately 8% per year. This reduces the taxable income andthus decreases the tax liability.

There is also an opportunity to set off capital losses against gains fromincome schemes.

Full exemption from capital gains tax as it comes under Section 54EA/EB ofthe income tax Act.

One has to pay tax only when he encash units, but have to pay tax on theinterest earned on other debt instruments every year on an accrual basis,even though he receives the interest later. This generates higher post taxreturns compared to other debt instruments.

Tax is just like a monster that frightens a number of individuals through out thenation. There are just tow way to fight with this monater:

. Conceal/Depress Income

. Make tax efficient investments.

4.1 - TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEME

(a)Open-ended Fund/ Scheme

An open-ended fund or scheme is one that is available for subscription and repurchase ona continuous basis. These schemes do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors canconveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices which aredeclared on a daily basis. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.

(b)Close-ended Fund/ Scheme

A close-ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years. The fund isopen for subscription only during a specified period at the time of launch of the scheme.Investors can invest in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafterthey can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where the units arelisted. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give anoption of selling back the units to the mutual fund through periodic repurchase at NAVrelated prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor i.e. either repurchase facility or through listing on stockexchanges. These mutual funds schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis.

(c)Sector specific funds/schemes

These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those sectors orindustries as specified in the offer documents. e.g. Pharmaceuticals, Software, FastMoving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds aredependent on the performance of the respective sectors/industries. While these funds maygive higher returns, they are more risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need tokeep a watch on the performance of those sectors/industries and must exit at anappropriate time. They may also seek advice of an expert.

(d)Tax Saving Schemes

These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of the IncomeTax Act, 1961 as the Government offers tax incentives for investment in specifiedavenues. e.g. Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS). Pension schemes launched by themutual funds also offer tax benefits. These schemes are growth oriented and invest pre-dominantly in equities. Their growth opportunities and risks associated are like anyequity-oriented scheme.

4.2 - INVESTMENT PLAN

4.2.1 - SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (SIP)

HDFC MF SIP is similar to a Recurring Deposit. Every month on a specified date an amount you

choose is invested in a mutual fund scheme of your choice. The dates currently available for SIPs

are the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and the 25th of a month. Youll be amazed to learn about themany benefits of investing through HDFC MF SIP.

Benefit 1Become A Disciplined InvesterBeing disciplined - Its the key to investing success. With the HDFC MF Systematic Investment

Plan you commit an amount of your choice (minimum of Rs. 1000 and in multiples of Rs. 100

thereof*) to be invested every month in one of our schemes.

Think of each SIP payment as laying a brick. One by one, youll see them transform into a

building. Youll see your investments accrue month after month. Its as simple as giving at least

6 postdated monthly cheques to us for a fixed amount in a scheme of your choice. Its the perfect

solution for irregular investors.

*Minimum amounts may differ for each Scheme. Please refer to SIP Enrolment Form for details.

Benefit 2Reach Your Financial GoalImagine you want to buy a car a year from now, but you dont know where the down-payment

will come from. HDFC MF SIP is a perfect tool for people who have a specific, future financial

requirement. By investing an amount of your choice every month, you can plan for and meet

financial goals, like funds for a childs education, a marriage in the family or a comfortable

postretirement life. The table below illustrates how a little every month can go a long way.

Fund Scheme(s). Please read Risk Factors.

Benefit 3Take Advantage of Rupee Cost Averaging

Most investors want to buy stocks when the prices are low and sell them when prices are high.But timing the market is timeconsuming and risky. A more successful investment strategy is to

adopt the method called Rupee Cost Averaging. To illustrate this well compare investing the

identical amounts through a SIP and in one lump sum.

Imagine Suresh invests Rs. 1000 every month in an equity mutual fund scheme starting in

January. His friend, Rajesh, invests Rs. 12000 in one lump sum in the same scheme. The

following table illustrate how their respective investments would have performed from Jan to

Dec:

As seen in the table, by investing through SIP, you end up buying more units when the price is

low and fewer units when the price is high. However, over a period of time these market

fluctuations are generally averaged. And the average cost of your investment is often reduced.

At the end of the 12 months, Suresh has more units than Rajesh, even though they invested the

same amount. Thats because the average cost of Sureshs units is much lower than that of

Rajesh. Rajesh made only one investment and that too when the per-unit price was high.

Sureshs average unit price = 12000/1480.6012 = Rs. 8.105

Rajeshs average unit price = Rs. 9.345

Benefit 4Grow Your Investment With Compounded Benefits

It is far better to invest a small amount of money regularly, rather than save up to make one large

investment. This is because while you are saving the lump sum, your savings may not earn much

interest.

With HDFC MF SIP, each amount you invest grows through compounding benefits as well. That

is, the interest earned on your investment also earns interest. The following example illustrates

this.

Imagine Neha is 20 years old when she starts working. Every month she saves and invests Rs.

5,000 till she is 25 years old. The total investment made by her over 5 years is Rs. 3 lakhs.Arjun

also starts working when he is 20 years old. But he doesnt invest monthly. He gets a large bonus

of Rs. 3 lakhs at 25 and decides to invest the entire amount.


30/77


Both of them decide not to withdraw these investments till they turn 50. At 50, Nehas

Investments have grown to Rs. 46,68,273* whereas Arjuns investments have grown to Rs.

36,17,084*. Nehas small contributions to a SIP and her decision to start investing earlier than

Arjun have made her wealthier by over Rs. 10 lakhs.

*Figures based on 10% p.a. interest compounded monthly.

Mutual Fund Scheme(s). Please read Risk Factors.

Benefit 5Do All This Effortlessly

Investing with HDFC MF SIP is easy. Simply give us post-dated cheques or opt for an

Auto Debit from you bank account for an amount of your choice (minimum of Rs. 1000 and in

multiples of Rs. 100 thereof*) and well invest the money every month in a fund of your choice.

The plans are completely flexible. You can invest for a minimum of six months, or for as long as

you want. You can also decide to invest quarterly and will need to invest for a minimum of two

quarters.

4.2.2 - SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PLAN (STP)

STP refers to Systematic Transfer Plan where in an investor invests a lump sum amount in one

scheme and regularly transfers (i.e. switches) a pre-defined amount into another scheme. Every

month on a specified date an amount you choose is transfered from one mutual fund scheme to

another of your choice.

Currently, Fixed Systematic Transfer Plan (FSTP) - Monthly Interval and Capital Appreciation

Systematic Transfer Plan (CASTP) - Monthly Interval facility is available to the Unit holders on

1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th of a month and FSTP - Quarterly Interval and CASTP -

Quarterly Interval facility is available to the Unit holders on 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th

of the first month of each quarter.

The Entry Load Structure for the transferee schemes - HDFC Growth Fund, HDFC Equity

Fund, HDFC Top 200 Fund, HDFC Capital Builder Fund, HDFC Core & Satellite Fund, HDFC

Premier Multi-Cap Fund, HDFC Balanced Fund, HDFC Prudence Fund, HDFC Long Term

Advantage Fund and HDFC TaxSaver will be as follows:

The Exit Load Structure is as follows:

For Transferee Schemes : HDFC Long Term Advantage Fund and HDFC TaxSaver - Nil

For Transferee Schemes : HDFC Growth Fund, HDFC Equity Fund, HDFC Top 200 Fund,

HDFC Capital Builder Fund, HDFC Core & Satellite Fund, HDFC Premier Multi-Cap Fund,

HDFC Balanced Fund and HDFC Prudence Fund.

In respect of each investment through STP less than Rs. 5 crore in value, an Exit Load of 1.25%

is payable if units are redeemed / switched-out on or before 2 years from the date of allotment. In

respect of each investment through STP equal to or greater than Rs. 5 crore in value, no Exit

Load is payable.

Thus, this facility offers the benefits similar to those of an SIP and is suitable for investors who

intend to invest systematically and currently have funds for investments.

HDFC Growth fund, an open-ended growth scheme, applies an investment approach

based on a set of well established but flexible principles that emphasize the concept of

sustainable economic earnings cash return on investment. The objective is to identifybusiness with superior growth prospects nd good management at a reasonable price.

The five basic principles that serve the foundation for this approach are as follows:

Focus on the long term

Investment confers proportionate ownership of the business

Maintain a margin safety

Maintain a balanced outlook on the market

Discipline approach to selling.

The investment philosophy rests on a two-pronged approach. 60-80% of the portfolio will

aim to stay invested for most of the time in large cap stocks that satisfy the above

investment criteria. This allocation to large cap stocks also ensures greater liquidity in the

portfolio. 20-40% of the portfolio will be invested in companies of scale that are either

large market share holder

HDFC EQUITY FUND

HDFC Equity Fund is an open-ended growth scheme, which aims to generate long-

term capital appreciation. The scheme maintains a focused portfolio predominantly

of large cap stocks, through there is controlled exposure to mid caps. The schemes

however always remain diversified across sectors. Moreover, the sectoral allocation

Investment Strategy

As outlined above, the investments in the Scheme will comprise both debt and equities. The

Fund would invest in Debt instruments such as Government securities, money market

instruments, securitised debts, corporate debentures and bonds, preference shares, quasi

Government bonds, and in equity shares. In the long term, the mix between debt instruments and

equity instruments is targeted between 60:40 and 40:60 respectively. The exact mix will be a

function of interest rates, equity valuations, reserves position, risk taking capacity of the portfolio

without compromising the consistency of dividend pay out (in the case of Dividend Plan), need

for capital preservation and the need to generate capital appreciation.

HDFC Capital Builder Fund

HDFC Capital Builder Fund, an open-ended growth scheme, aims to invest in

strong companies at prices that below fair value in the opinion of the fund managers. The

investment approach is based on the philosophy that value may be uncovered only where

the crowd has not discovered it yet. In the opinion of the fund managers such value exists

in good quality well managed neglected stocks. The current neglect in these companies

by the broad market participants can be due to various factors such as difficult recent

market conditions, major restructuring charges, VRS expenses or other such one timeeffects that may subdue profits in the near term. This also usually results in the shares of

such companies being relatively illiquid.

While assuming such relative risk adjusted liquidity risk the fund managers

propose to capitalize on expected pick up reported earning as result of strong growth

prospects in the future. This eventually translates in to more liquidity depending on the

success of this strategy. Such opportunities are available in large companies as well as

small companies. While there is no criteria for stock selection based on market

capitalization the endeavor is to keep a balance of companies in the portfolio between big

and small companies, on one category overwhelming the other

PART

OF MY

SUMMER TRAINING


49/77


As part of my understudy training

For the purpose of fulfillment of masters degree in business administration i had

undertaken my summer training at HDFC-mutual fund at Rourkela branch for a period of 45

days. In course of the training i had an opportunity to get proper working knowledge about the

internal workings of Mutual funds dept.

The single most important factor that drives HDFC Mutual Fund is its belief to give the

investor the chance to profitably invest in the financial market, without constantly worrying

about the market swings.

I had chosen the HDFC-mutual fund as it is one of the most highly reputed mutual fund

all over the INDIA and offers under study training to students during summer. I had the job of

convincing investors to choose HDFC mutual funds over others. For this purpose I also

maintained a database of all the investors who had been approached.

Money is a valuable asset and it is obvious that people think many times before investing

their money into any kind of funds. They frequently ask questions about the time period, interest

rates, current status of the share market, etc which requires good running knowledge in the field.

It was not very easy to convince people to make investment in the HDFC mutual funds but with

the help of Mr. Manmohan Mohapatra, Branch Manager, of HDF-mutual fund Rourkela branch.

I accomplished my task.

STUDY


52/77


4.DATA COLLECTION &

ANALYSIS


53/77


6.1 - Research Methodology:Since the study undertaken by me is related to the study of mutual fund in India, the

means adopted for collection of various facts and data were in the form of personal observation,

officials documents, and directly interacting with the officers concerned and also directly

interacting with the existing customers as well as new customer formed. It was an exploratory

research. Work is mainly emphasized on the primary data. Primary data are gathered form

prescribed questionnaire and by personal interview and the secondary data are collected from

different books and magazines.

6.2 - Sources of Data collectionThere are two sources of data collection. They are:

1. PRIMARY DATA SOURCE

2. SECONDARY DATA SOURCE

The secondary data are those, which have already been collected by

someone else thorough Books, Internet, Television, journals, Magazines, etc.

On the other hand primary data does not exist here. The researcher has to

gather primary data afresh for the specific study undertaken by him. Primary

data has been collected here by questionnaire method and personal

interview method is followed. Primary sources such as Interviews,

Observation, and attending training and development classes. Secondary

sources such as Booklets, Monthly journal, Magazines, Official files etc.


54/77


6.3 - HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDYFor doing the dissertation topic performance of mutual fund analysis I took the hypothesis of

certain groups. I divide the total population on the basis of their age, income, gender, occupation

and status.

Male jobholders within the age group of 24-40.

Female jobholders within the age group of 24-40.

Male jobholders above the age 40.

Female jobholders above the age 40.

Individual having the income in the range of 1lkh-3lkh per annum.

Individual having the income above 3lkh per annum.

In Orissa i.e. rural area it is still a new concept so it will take some more time to really penetrate

into this market apart from people who are HNIs though these people are given more emphasis

by all the Mutual funds and distribution channels. With the introduction of SIPs the industry has

created some options clear for retail investors to enter this market. My survey says that it the

awareness level that is playing acting as an obstacle in the growth of Mutual fund Industry in

Orissa as a whole. People in Bhubaneswar are now opening up and interested in looking forward

for certified investment planners to help them designing their investment portfolio. Orissa as a

market was not that efficient few years back, but now with lot of multinational companies and

other reputed companies coming down, the Orissa market is slowly picking up. For mutual funds

it is one of the emerging markets that can be trapped form its developing stage and though

people of rural areas prefer Moderate risk they can easily accept mutual funds. Mutual fund

Industry is delivering a splendid performance and will of course continue in coming future. But

that can be only possible as the distribution channels like Karvy, Bajaj finance and Banks i.e.

Citi Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Standard Chartered Bank along with all Asset

Management Company.
