PREFACE
The stock market in India has been a kind of mysterious place for many people who think thatthe persons investing their money in the market are sort of gambling on their money. There is
usual misconception in the minds of the common man that because of the volatility of the
market, their hard earned money is not safe in the stock market.
However, this fear can be checked by proper research on a share someone is interested to invest
on. The market doesnt behave in an arbitrate manner but certain trends are repeated over the
time again and again. It is quite responsive towards the economic activities taking place in India
as well as around the whole world.
The broad objective of the project is to understand the behavioural pattern of Mutual Fundsover the past one year and a half so that one can understand the movement of the share on a
particular trading session as well as the impact of news coming from different quarters of the
market.
The project will provide a tool in the hands of the investors to take the decisions regarding their
investment inMutual Funds It will also give them the answer that whether it is right time to
invest in this share or not, and what could be the best time to invest in this share.

ABSTRACTSTRACT
This project offers a valuable opportunity to take a glimpse of the mutual fund in India. In
todays increasingly competitive and complex world there are large numbers of mutual funds
claiming to provide maximum return with minimum risk.
It is become very difficult to select the best mutual fund. There are more than 1000 schemes
available for the investors in India. It is very difficult to select a particular scheme on the basis of
their past records.
This project will try to analyze few popular mutual funds statistically on the basis of the risk
involved in each fund and the return of the same. Also an in-depth analysis of their portfolio will
be done which will give a better view for a funds resultant performance.

INTRODUCTION
CEPTA Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common
financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as
shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the
capital appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the Mutual Fund is
the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a
diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. The flow chart
below describe mutual fund:

Mutual Fund gets their earnings in two ways:
1. First is the most organic way, which is the dividend they get on the
securities they hold.
2. If the fund sells securities that have increased in capital gain. This is reflected in NAV of each
unit.
3. Third is by the redemption of their units by investors will be at discount to the current
NAV[net asset value].

ABOUT MUTUAL FUNDSA
A
ABOUTBOUT MUTUAL FUNDS
What Is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is a company that invests in a diversified portfolio of securities. People who buy
shares of a mutual fund are its owners or shareholders. Their investments provide the money for
a mutual fund to buy securities such as stocks and bonds. A mutual fund can make money from
its securities in two ways: a security can pay dividends or interest to the fund or a security can
rise in value. A fund can also lose money and drop in value.
Different Funds, Different Features
There are three basic types of mutual fundsstock (also called equity), bond, and money
market. Stock mutual funds invest primarily in shares of stock issued by Indian or foreign
companies. Bond mutual funds invest primarily in bonds. Money market mutual funds invest
mainly in short-term securities issued.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS 4OUT MUTUAL FUNDS
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Why Invest in a Mutual Fund?
Mutual funds make saving and investing simple, accessible, and affordable. The advantages of
mutual funds include professional management, diversification, variety, liquidity, affordability,
convenience, and ease of recordkeepingas well as strict government regulation and full
disclosure.
Professional Management: Even under the best of market conditions, it takes an astute,
experienced investor to choose investments correctly, and a further commitment of time to
continually monitor those investments. With mutual funds, experienced professionals manage a
portfolio of securities for you full-time, and decide which securities to buy and sell based on
extensive
research. A fund is usually managed by an individual or a team choosing investments that best
match the funds objectives. As economic conditions change, the managers often adjust the mix
of the funds investments to ensure it continues to meet the funds objectives.
Diversification: Successful investors know that diversifying their investments can help reduce
the adverse impact of a single investment. Mutual funds introduce diversification to your
investment portfolio automatically by holding a wide variety of securities. Moreover, since you
pool your assets with those of other investors, a mutual fund allows you to obtain a more
diversified portfolio than you would probably be able to comfortably manage on your ownand
at a fraction of the cost. In short, funds allow you the opportunity to invest in many markets and
sectors. Thats the key benefit of diversification.

Variety: Within the broad categories of stock, bond, and money market funds, you can choose
among a variety of investment approaches. Today there are more then 1000 types of mutual fund
available for the Indian investors.
Low Costs: Mutual funds usually hold dozens or even hundreds of securities like stocks and
bonds. The primary way you pay for this service is through a fee that is based on the total value
of your account. Because the fund industry consists of hundreds of competing firms and
thousands of funds, the actual level of fees can vary. But for most investors, mutual funds
provide professional management and diversification at a fraction of the cost of making such
investments independentlyTUAL FUNDS
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Liquidity: Liquidity is the ability to readily access your money in an investment. Mutual fund
shares are liquid investments that can be sold on any business day. Mutual funds are required by
law to buy, or redeem, shares each business day. The price per share at which you can redeem
shares is known as the funds net asset value (NAV). NAV is the current market value of all the
funds assets, minus liabilities, divided by the total number of outstanding shares.
Convenience: You can purchase or sell fund shares directly from a fund or through a broker,
financial planner, bank or insurance agent, by mail, over the telephone, and increasingly by
personal computer. You can also arrange for automatic reinvestment or periodic distribution of
the dividends and capital gains paid by the fund. Funds may offer a wide variety of other
services, including monthly or quarterly account statements, tax information, and 24-hour phone
and computer access to fund and account information.

Protecting Investors:Not only are mutual funds subject to compliance with their self-imposed
restrictions and limitations, they are also highly regulated by the federal government through the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As part of this government regulation, all
funds must meet certain operating standards, observe strict antifraud rules, and disclose complete
information to current and potential investors. These laws are strictly enforced and designed to
protect investors from fraud and abuse. But these laws obviously cannot help you pick the fund
that is right for you or prevent a fund from losing money. You can still lose money by investing
in a mutual fund. A mutual fund is not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or SIPC, even if fund
shares are purchased through a bank.
ADVANALNDS SCHEMES
Types of Mutual Fund Scheme

15/103
15
BY STRUCTURE:
Open Ended Schemes: These do not have a fixed maturity. You deal directly with the Mutual
Fund for your investments and redemptions. The key feature is liquidity. You can conveniently
buy and sell your units at Net Asset Value related prices.
Close Ended Schemes: Schemes that have a stipulated maturity period (ranging from 2 to 15
years) are called closed ended schemes. You can invest directly in the scheme at time of the
initial issue and thereafter you can buy and sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges
where they are listed. The market price of the stock exchange could from the schemes NAV on
account of demand and supply situation, unit holders expectation and other market factors.
Interval Schemes: These combine the features of open ended and closed ended schemes. They
may be traded at stock exchange or may be open for sale or redemption during pre determined
intervals at NAV related prices.
BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:
Growth Schemes: Aim to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long term. These
schemes normally invest a majority of their funds n equities and are willing to bear short term
decline in value for possible future appreciation. These schemes are not for investors seeking
regular income or needing their money back in the short term.
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
16/103
16
Income Schemes: aim to provide regular and steady income to investors. hese schemes
generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds and corporate debentures. Capital
appreciation in such schemes may be limited.
Balanced Schemes: Aim to provide both growth and income by periodically distributing a part
of the income and capital gains they earn. They invest both in shares and fixed income securities
in the proportion indicated in their offer documents.
Money market Schemes: Aim to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital
gains and moderate income. These schemes generally invest in safer, short term instruments such
as treasury bills, certificate of deposits, commercial papers etc. Return on these schemes may
fluctuate, depending upon the interest rates prevailing in the market.
OTHER SCHEMES
Tax Saving Schemes: These schemes offer tax rebates to the investor under tax law as
prescribed from time to time. This is made possible because the government offers tax incentives
for investment in specified avenues. For example Equity Linked Saving Schemes, and Pension
Schemes.
Special Schemes: This category includes index schemes that attempt to replicate the
performance of a particular index such as BSE Sensex or the NSE or industry specific schemes
or sectoral schemes.

Index Fund Schemes: They are ideal for investors who are satisfied with a return approximately
equal to that of an index.
Sectoral Fund: These schemes are ideal for investors who have already decided to invest in a
particular sector or segment

Statistical Tools
Mean
An average of the sub-period returns, calculated by summing the sub eturns and dividing by the
number of sub This shows the average return earned by a good comparative tool to assess
different types of fund.

Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a representation of the risk associated with a given security stocks, bonds,
property, etc.), or the risk of a portfolio of securities. Risk is an important factor in determining
how to efficiently manage a portfolio of investments because it determines the variation in
returns on the asset and/or portfolio and ives investors a mathematical basis for investment
decisions. The overall concept of risk is that as it increases, the expected return on the asset will
increase as a result of the risk premium earned higher return on an investment when said
investment carries a higher level of risk
where,
2 denoted standard deviation
N is number of period,
X2is average return of a security,
x is number actual return,
The larger the Standard Deviation in a period, the greater risk the security carries.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Beta
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
21/103
21
A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the
market as a whole. Also known as "beta coefficient".
Where,
rameasures the rate of return of the asset,
rp
measures the rate of return of the portfolio of which the asset is a part,
Cov(ra,
rp,
) is the covariance between the rates of return.
Beta is calculated using regression analysis, and you can think of beta as the
tendency of a security's returns to respond to swings in the market. A beta of 1 indicates that the
security's price will move with the market. A Beta less than 1 means, the security will be less
volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security's price will be more
volatile than the market. For example, if a stock's beta is 1.2, it's theoretically 20% more volatile
than the market.
Many utilities stocks have a beta of less than 1. Conversely, most high-tech Sensex-based stocks
have a beta of greater than 1, offering the possibility of a higher rate of return, but also posing
more risk.
Sharpe Ratio
A ratio developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe to measure risk-adjusted performance.
The Sharpe ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate such as that of the 10-year U.S.
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
22/103
22
Treasury bond - from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard
deviation of the portfolio returns.
R is return from the security
Rfis the Risk free return
= standard deviation
The Sharpe ratio tells us whether a portfolio's returns are due to smart investment decisions or a
result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one portfolio or fund can
reap higher returns than its peers, it isonly a good investment if those higher returns do not come
with too much additional risk. The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk
performance has been.
A variation of the Sharpe ratio is the Sortino ratio, which removes the upward price movements
on standard deviation to measure only return against downward price volatility.
Sortino Ratio
A ratio developed by Frank A. Sortino to differentiate between good and bad

23
volatility in the Sharpe ratio. This volatility allows the calculation to provide a risk fund's
performance without penalizing it for upward price changes. It it is calculated as follows:
The Sortino ratio is similar to the Sharpe ratio, except it uses downside deviation for the
denominator instead of standard deviation, the use of which doesn't discriminate between up and
down volatility.
P/E ratio
The P/E ratio (price-to-earnings ratio) of a stock (also called its "earnings multiple", or simply
"multiple", "P/E", or "PE") is a measure of the price paid for a share relative to the annual
income or profit earned by the firm per share. A higher P/E ratio means that investors are paying
more for each unit of income. It is a valuation ratio included in other financial ratios. The
reciprocal of the P/E ratio is known as the earnings yield.

ANALYSIS
Treynor Ratio
A ratio developed by Jack Treynor that measures returns earned in excess of that which could
have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. The Treynor ratio is
calculated as:
(Average Return of the Portfolio - Average Return of the Risk-Free Rate) / Beta of the Portfolio
In other words, the Treynor ratio is a risk-adjusted measure of return based on systematic risk. It
is similar to the Sharpe ratio, with the difference being that the Treynor ratio uses beta as the
measurement of volatility.
Also known as the "reward-to-volatility ratio".
STATISTICAL TOOLS
Fama
A factor model that expands on the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) by adding size and value
factors in addition to the market risk factor in CAPM. This model considers the fact that value
and small cap stocks outperform markets on a regular basis. By including these two additional
factors, the model adjusts for the outperformance tendency, which is thought to make it a better
tool for evaluating manager performance.
Here r is the portfolio's return rate, Rf is the risk-free return rate, and Km is the return of the
whole stock market. The "three factor" is analogous to the classical but not equal to it, since
there are now two additional factors to do some of the work. SMB and HML stand for "small

[Market Capitalization] minus big" and "high [book-to-price ratio] minus low"; they measure the
historic excess returns of small caps over big caps and "value stocks" over "growth stocks".
Fama and French attempted to better measure market returns and, through research, found that
value stocks outperform growth stocks; similarly, small cap stocks tend to outperform large cap
stocks. As an evaluation tool, the performance of portfolios with a large number of small cap or
value stocks would be lower than the CAPM result, as the three factor model adjusts downward
for small cap and value outperformance.

INFRASTRUCTURE MUTUAL FUND
INFRASTRUCTURE MUTUAL FUNDS
An Infrastructure fund is a managed vehicle through which investors gain exposure to the
underlying characteristics of infrastructure assets. Infrastructure is emerging strongly as an asset
class which can be particularly well suited to pension funds and other investors with a long-term
outlook. Infrastructure assets tend to display comparatively stable, long-term real return and
provide a good match for longdated liabilities.
They invest in private infrastructure companies, but the fnds themselves can be listed or unlisted.
For example, Macquarie has been investing in infrastructure for more than a decade and now
manages over 20 infrastructure funds around the world. Half of these are listed on the stock
exchange, with investors from pension funds and other institutions to retail investors. The rest
are unlisted funds in which the investors are largely pension funds and other institutions.

The fund tens to either specialize in one class of infrastructure - for example invest only in
airport or only in toll-roads or they invest across various infrastructure sectors which meet
specified investment criteria. For example
The infrastructure assets can include telecommunications and broadcast infrastructure, utilities,
toll road, airport and other transport infrastructure. Fundamentally, infrastructure assets are
distinguished by displaying the following key characteristics:
Provide essential community services
Have strategic competitive advantage Have predictable long-term cash flow
These characteristics lead to the investment benefits outlined below.
Infrastructure assets display unique characteristic. Their essential and long-term nature,
combined with strong competitive position, lead to stable and predictable consumer demand and
cash generation. These assets tend to have a high fixed capital base with comparatively low
operating costs on average of between 10% and 30% of revenue. Along with the long-term
operating license and predictable demand, often in a regulated environment, this allows the
manager to forecast cash flows with accuracy.
Infrastructure assets have a low correlation to equity markets and other asset classes. For the
reason, it can provide valuable diversification in an investment.

RASTRUCTURE MUTUAL FUNDS
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
This project has been taken for GULF BULL stock broking limited. The objective of the study is
to know the role and performance of mutual funds & also help in determining the preference of
investors while investing in various types of mutual fund schemes. The company has established
a strong investors base in DEHRADUN so the key findings of the project will help the company
to understand their investors better, their needs, and expectations of the investors from a broker
and the potential of mutual funds scheme in DEHRADUN.
Many individuals find investments to be fascinating because they can participate in the decision
making process and see the results of their choices. Not all investments will be profitable, as
investor wills not always make the correct investment decisions over the period of years;
however, one should earn a positive return on a diversified portfolio. In addition, there is a
delight from the major success.
Investing is not a game but a serious subject that can have a major impact on investor's future
well being. Virtually everyone makes investments. Even if the individual does not select specific
assets such as stock, mutual funds, investments are still made through participation in pension
plan, and employee saving programmed or through purchase of life insurance or a home. Each of
this investment has common characteristics such as potential return and the risk you must bear.

The future is uncertain, and one must determine how much risk you are willing to bear since
higher return is associated with accepting more risk.
The individual should start by specifying investment goals and would like to have true value of
his wealth. Once these goals are established, the individual should be aware of the mechanics of
investing and the environment in which investment decisions are made. These include the
process by which securities are issued and subsequently bought and sold, the regulations and tax
laws that have been enacted by various levels of government, and the sources of information
concerning investment that are available to the individual.

MUTUAL FUNDSA CONCEPT
A mutual fund is simply a financial intermediary that allows a group of investors to pool their
money together with a predetermined investment objective. Each unit of any scheme represents
the proportion of pool owned by the unit holder (investor). The value of each unit of mutual
fund is termed as Net Asset Value. Appreciation or reduction in value of investments is reflected
in net asset value (NAV) of the concerned scheme, which is declared by the fund from time to
time. Mutual Funds schemes are managed by respective Asset Management Companies
sponsored by financial institutions, banks, private companies or international firms. An investor
can invest his money in one or more schemes of Mutual Fund according to his choice and
becomes the unit holder of the scheme. The income earned through these investments and the
capital appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units
owned by them. Mutual Fund offers an investor the opportunity to invest even a small amount of
money. The mutual fund will have a fund manager who is responsible for investing the pooled
money into specific securities. Each Mutual Fund scheme is managed by qualified professionals,
who use this money to create a portfolio that includes stock and shares, bonds, gilt, money-
market instruments or combination of all. Thus, Mutual Fund will diversify ones portfolio over
a variety of investment vehicles thereby reducing the risk.
Mutual funds are one of the best investments ever created because they are very cost efficient
and very easy to invest in (one doesn't have to figure out which stocks or bonds to buy).
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 mutualfunds is diversification.
Mutual Funds offer several benefits to an investor such as potential return, liquidity,
transparency, income growth, good post tax return and reasonable safety. But before investing in

a Mutual Fund an investor must identify his needs and preferences. He must also take in to
consideration the risks associated with such investments.
MUTUAL FUND FRAMEWORK:
MUTUAL FUND CONSTITUENTS
The FIGURE below illustrates the organizational set up of a mutual fund:
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
32/103
32
Indian mutual funds are governed by two different structures. The Unit Trust of India follows
one defined by the UTI Act, 1963, and its subsequent amendments. All other mutual funds
follow the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, which
are more rigorous from the viewpoint of disclosure and accountability. Despite the differences,
all mutual funds comprise four constituents -- sponsors, trustees, asset management companies
(AMCs) and custodians.
THE MUTUAL FUND
A mutual fund in India is constituted in the form of a Public Trust created under the Indian
Trusts Act, 1882. The Fund Sponsor acts as the Settler 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 the common pool, by subscribing to units issued by various schemes established by the
trust, units being the evidence of their beneficial interest in the fund.
SPONSOR
The sponsor initiates the idea to set up a mutual fund. It could be a registered company,
scheduled bank or financial institution. For Example: For Birla Mutual Fund, the sponsor is Birla
Growth Funds. In a joint venture like Sun F&C Mutual Fund, Foreign & Colonial Emerging
Markets is the sponsor and SUN Securities (India) Ltd, the co-sponsor
-

33/103
33
A sponsor has to satisfy certain conditions, such as on capital, track record (at least five years'
operation in financial services), default-free dealings and a general reputation of fairness. The
sponsor appoints the trustees, AMC and custodian. Once the AMC is formed, the sponsor is just
a stakeholder. However, sponsors do play a key role in bailing out an AMC during a crisis
(Canara Bank's rescue of Canbank Mutual Fund).
TRUST / BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Trustees hold a fiduciary responsibility towards unit holders by protecting their interests.
Sometimes, as with Canara Bank, the trustee and the sponsor are the same. For others, like SBI
Funds Management, State Bank of India is the sponsor and SBI Capital Markets the trustee.
Trustees float and market fund schemes, and secure necessary approvals. They check if the
AMC's investments are within defined limits, whether the fund's assets are protected, and also
ensure that unit holders get their due returns.
Trustees also review any due diligence done by the AMC. For major decisions concerning the
fund, they have to take unit holders' consent. They submit reports every six months to SEBI;
investors get an annual report. Trustees are paid annually out of the fund's assets -- 0.05 per cent
of the weekly average net asset value.
FUND MANAGERS / AMCS
They are the ones who manage funds money. An AMC takes investment decisions, compensates
investors through dividends, maintains proper accounting and information for pricing of units,
calculates the NAV, and provides information on listed schemes and secondary market unit
transactions.

It also exercises due diligence on investments, and submits quarterly reports to the trustees. A
fund's AMC can neither act for any other fund nor undertake any business other than asset
management. Its net worth should not fall below Rs. 10 crore. And, its fee should not exceed
1.25 per cent if collections are below Rs.100 crore and 1 per cent if collections are above Rs.100
crore. Sebi can pull up an AMC if it deviates from its prescribed role.
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 this 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 (besides the investment management) are going to be dependent on the transfer agent.
In India, besides brokers, independent, individuals are appointed as agents for the purpose of
selling the fund schemes to investors. These agents are not brokers in a formal sense and do not
belong to any stock exchange or organized self-regulatory body of brokers. While individuals
constitute the largest segment in the category of mutual fund distributors, other distributors
include Banks, Non Banking Finance Companies and Distribution Companies.

CUSTODIAN
Often an independent organization, it takes custody of securities and other assets of a mutual
fund. Among public sector mutual funds, the sponsor or trustee generally also acts as the
custodian.
A custodian's responsibilities include receipt and delivery of securities, collecting income,
distributing dividends, safekeeping of units and segregating assets and settlements between
schemes. Their charges range between 0.15-0.2 percent of the net value of the holding.
Custodians can service more than one fund.SEBI's regulations specify each constituent's role
clearly. How well they act in concert determines the quality of the investor's experience with the
mutual fund.
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV)
A mutual fund is a common investment vehicle where the assets of the fund belong directly to
the investors. Investors subscriptions are accounted for by the fund not as liabilities or deposits
but as Unit Capital. On the other hand, the investments made on behalf of the investors are
reflected on the assets side and are the main constituent of the balance sheet. There are, however,
liabilities of a strictly short-term nature that may be part of the balance sheet. The funds Net
Assets are therefore defined as the assets minus the liabilities. As there are many investors in a
fund, it is common practice for mutual funds to compute the share of each investor on the basis
of the value of Net Assets Per Share/Unit, commonly known as the Net Asset Value (NAV).
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa

The following are the regulatory requirements and accounting definitions laid down by SEBI.
NAV = Net Assets of the scheme/Number of Units outstanding i.e. Market value of investments
+ Receivables + Other Accrued Income + other assets.
Accrued ExpensesOther payablesOther liabilities
No. Of units outstanding as at the NAV date For the purpose of the NAV calculation, the day on
which NAV is calculated by a fund is known as the valuation date.
A funds NAV is affected by four sets of factors: Purchase and sale of investment securities Valuation of all investment securities held Other assets and liabilities, and Units sold or redeemed
ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Professional expertise: Fund managers are responsible for implementing a consistent
investment strategy that reflects the goals of the fund. Fund managers monitor market and
economic trends and analyze securities in order to make informed investment decisions.
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
37/103
37
Diversification: In order to reduce this risk, one needs to invest in different types of securities
such that they do not move in a similar fashion. Typically, when equity markets perform, debt
markets do not yield good returns. Note the scenario of low yields on debt securities over the last
three years while equities yielded handsome returns
Low cost of asset management:Since mutual funds collect money from millions of investors,
they achieve economies of scale. The cost of running a mutual fund is divided between larger
pools of money and hence mutual funds are able to offer you a lower cost alternative of
managing your funds. Equity funds in India typically charge you around 2.25% of your initial
money and around 1.5% to 2% of your money invested every year as charges. Investing in debt
funds costs even less. If you had to invest smaller sums of money on your own, you would have
to invest significantly more for the professional benefits and diversification.
Liquidity:Mutual funds are typically very liquid investments. Unless they have a pre-specified
lock-in, your money will be available to you anytime you want. Typically funds take a couple of
days for returning your money to you. Since they are very well integrated with the banking
system, most funds can send money directly to your banking account.
Well regulated: India mutual funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of
India, which helps provide comfort to the investors. SEBI forces transparency on the mutual
funds, which helps the investor make an informed choice. SEBI requires the mutual funds to
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
38/103
38
disclose their portfolios at least six monthly, which helps one keep track whether the fund is
investing in line with its objectives or not.
DRAWBACKS OF MUTUAL FUNDS
No Guarantees-There is no guarantee that the mutual fund will always do well and provide
good returns to its unit holders, as no investment is risk free. However, risk is minimized to some
extent by investing in mutual funds.
Fees and Commissions- All funds charge administrative fees to cover their operational
expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions or loads to compensate financial
consultants or planners, brokers etc.
Taxes- Most actively managed funds sell anywhere from 20% to 70% of the securities in their
portfolio during a typical year. If the fund makes a profit on its sales, the investor has to pay tax
on the income he receives even if he reinvests the money he made.
Management risk- the risk that an investor is taking here is that someone else is managing his
money. He depends on the fund manager to make the right decision regarding the portfolio. If the
manager does not perform as one had hoped then the investor may not make as much money as
he had expected.

HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS
MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA (1964 - 2005)
PHASE ONE (1964-1987):
The first stage of Mutual funds in India started with the setup of giant public sector mutual fund
UTI in 1964. This stage continued till 1987. In this stage UTI was the only player in the mutual
fund market. At the beginning of 1988 the total assets under management of UTI were 6700
crores.
PHASE TWO (1987-1993):
In 1987 govt. allowed six PSU banks, LIC and GIC to set up mutual funds. This increased the
number of players in the mutual fund to nine. At the end of 1994 there were 107 Mutual fund
schemes with 61028 Crores worth of assets under management.
PHASE THREE (1994 ONWARDS):
This stage saw the real boom of mutual fund industry. The GOI allowed private mutual fund to
operate. Kothari Pioneer is the first private sector Mutual Fund of India. As on 31stMarch 2000
there were 32 mutual funds with 1,13,005 crores worth of assets under management out of which
70,547 crores were in UTI alone. And on august 2000 there were a total of 33 mutual fund
schemes with 391 schemes and asset base of 1,02,844 crores. Today, we have 34 mutual funds
with numerous schemes for the investors to invest in.

PHASE FOUR 1996 (SEBI REGULATION FOR MUTUAL FUNDS):
Deregulation and liberalization of the Indian economy introduced competition and provided
impetus to the growth of the industry. Finally, most investors small or large started shifting
towards mutual funds as opposed to banks or direct market investments.
More investor friendly regulatory measures were taken both by SEBI to protect the investor, and
by the Government to enhance investors return through tax benefits. A comprehensive set of
regulations for all mutual funds operating in India was introduced with SEBI (Mutual Fund)
Regulations, 1996. 1999 marked the beginning of a new phase in the history of the mutual fund
industry in India, a phase of significant growth in terms of both amounts mobilized from
investors and assets under management. Consider the growth in assets as seen in the figures
below:
The size of the industry grew rapidly, as seen in the figure of assets under management which
shot up from over Rs. 68000 crores to Rs. 113005 crores, a growth of nearly 60% in just one
year. Within the growing industry, by March 2000, the relative market shares of different players
in terms of amount mobilized and assets under management underwent a change.
1999YEAR OF THE FUNDS
Mutual funds had been around for a long period of time to be precise for 36 yrs but the year 1999
saw immense future potential and developments in this sector. This year signaled the year of
resurgence of mutual funds and the regaining of investor confidence in these MFs. This time
around all the participants were involved in the revival of the funds - the AMCs, the unit

41
holders, the other related parties. However, the sole factor that gave lift to the revival of the
funds was the Union Budget. The budget brought about a large number of changes in one stroke.
It provided centre stage to the mutual funds, made them more attractive and provided
acceptability among the investors. The Union Budget exempted mutual fund dividend given out
by equity-oriented schemes from tax, both at the hands of the investor as well as the mutual fund.
No longer were the mutual funds interested in selling the concept of mutual funds they wanted to
talk business which would mean to increase asset base, and to get asset base and investor base
they had to be fully armed with a whole lot of schemes for every investor .So new schemes for
new IPOs were inevitable. The quest to attract investors extended beyond just new schemes.
The funds started to regulate themselves and were all out on winning the trust and confidence of
the investors under the aegis of the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI)
One can say that today, the industry has moved from infancy to adolescence, it is now maturing
and the investors and funds are frankly and openly discussing difficulties, opportunities and
compulsions.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
A Mutual Fund may float several schemes, which may be classified on the basis of its structure,
its investment objectives and constitution.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Schemes can be classified by way of their stated investment objective such as Growth Fund,
Balanced Fund, and Income Fund etc

EQUITY ORIENTED SCHEMES
These schemes, also commonly called Growth Schemes, seek to invest a majority of their funds
in equities and a small portion in money market instruments. Such schemes have the potential to
deliver superior returns over the long term because the market boom and depression phases get
evened out over a longer time span. However, because they invest in equities, these schemes are
exposed to fluctuations in value especially in the short-term.Equity schemes are hence not
suitable for investors seeking regular income or needing to use their investments in the short-
term. They are ideal for investors who have a long-term investment horizon. The NAV prices of
equity fund fluctuates with market value of the underlying stock which are influenced by
external factors such as social, political as well as economic.
HDFC Growth Fund, HDFC Tax Plan 2000 and HDFC Index Fund are examples of equity
schemes.
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
44/103
44
SECTOR SPECIFIC
These schemes restrict their investing to one or more pre-defined sectors, e.g. technology sector,
pharmaceutical, information technology etc. Since they depend upon the performance of select
sectors only, these schemes are inherently more risky than general-purpose schemes. They are
suited for informed investors who wish to take a view and risk on the concerned sector.
SPECIAL SCHEMES:
INDEX SCHEMES
The primary purpose of an Index is to serve as a measure of the performance of the market as a
whole, or a specific sector of the market. An Index also serves as a relevant benchmark to
evaluate the performance of mutual funds. Some investors are interested in investing in the
market in general rather than investing in any specific fund. Such investors are happy to receive
the returns posted by the markets. As it is not practical to invest in each and every stock in the
market in proportion to its size, these investors are comfortable investing in a fund that they
believe is a good representative of the entire market. Index Funds are launched and managed for
such investors.
An example to such a fund is the HDFC Index Fund.
TAX SAVING SCHEMES
Investors (individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs)) are being encouraged to invest
in equity markets through Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) by offering them a tax
rebate. Units purchased cannot be assigned / transferred/ pledged / redeemed / switched out
until completion of 3 years from the date of allotment of the respective Units.
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
45/103
45
The Scheme is subject to Securities & Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations,
1996 and the notifications issued by the Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs),
Government of India regarding ELSS.
Subject to such conditions and limitations, as prescribed under Section 88 of the Income-tax Act,
1961, subscriptions to the Units not exceeding Rs.10, 000 would be eligible to a deduction, from
income tax, of an amount equal to 20% of the amount subscribed.
HDFC Tax Plan 2000 is such a fund.
REAL ESTATE FUNDS
Specialized real estate funds would invest in real estates directly, or may fund real estate
developers or lend to them directly or buy shares of housing finance companies or may even buy
their securitized assets.
DEBT BASED SCHEMES
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
46/103
46
These schemes, also commonly called Income Schemes, invest in debt securities such as
corporate bonds, debentures and government securities. The prices of these schemes tend to be
more stable compared with equity schemes and most of the returns to the investors are generated
through dividends or steady capital appreciation. These schemes are ideal for conservative
investors or those not in a position to take higher equity risks, such as retired individuals.
However, as compared to the money market schemes they do have a higher price fluctuation risk
and compared to a Gilt fund they have a higher credit risk.
INCOME SCHEMES
These schemes invest in money markets, bonds and debentures of corporate with medium and
long-term maturities. These schemes primarily target current income instead of capital
appreciation. They therefore distribute a substantial part of their distributable surplus to the
investor by way of dividend distribution. Such schemes usually declare quarterly dividends and
are suitable for conservative investors who have medium to long-term investment horizon and
are looking for regular income through dividend or steady capital appreciation.
HDFC Income Fund, HDFC Short Term Plan and HDFC Fixed Investment Plans are examples
of bond schemes.

objective of income and moderate capital appreciation and are ideal for investors with a
conservative, long-term orientation.
HDFC Balanced Fund and HDFC Childrens Gift Fund are examples of hybrid schemes.

INFRASTRUCTURE MUTUAL FUND0000000000000000000
INFRASTRUCTURE MUTUAL FUNDSAn Infrastructure fund is a managed vehicle through which investors gain exposure to the
underlying characteristics of infrastructure assets. Infrastructure is emerging strongly as an asset
class which can be particularly well suited to pension funds and other investors with a long-term
outlook. Infrastructure assets tend to display comparatively stable, long-term real return and
provide a good match for longdated liabilities.
They invest in private infrastructure companies, but the fnds themselves can be isted or unlisted.
For example, Macquarie has been investing in infrastructure for more than a decade and now
manages over 20 infrastructure funds around the world. Half of these are listed on the stock
exchange, with investors from pension funds and other institutions to retail investors. The rest
are unlisted funds in which the investors are largely pension funds and other institutions.
The fund tens to either specialize in one class of infrastructure - for example invest only in
airport or only in toll-roads or they invest across various infrastructure ectors which meet
specified investment criteria. For example
The infrastructure assets can include telecommunications and broadcast nfrastructure, utilities,
toll road, airport and other transport infrastructure. Fundamentally, infrastructure assets are
distinguished by displaying the following ey characteristics:
Provide essential community services Have strategic competitive advantage Have predictable long-term cash flow
-
8/13/2019 Analysis Mutual Fund Performa
56/103
56
These characteristics lead to the investment benefits outlined below.
Infrastructure assets display unique characteristic. Their essential and long-term nature,
combined with strong competitive position, lead to stable and predictable consumer demand and
cash generation. These assets tend to have a high fixed capital base with comparatively low
operating costs on average of between 10% and 30% of revenue. Along with the long-term
operating license and predictable demand, often in a regulated environment, this allows the
manager to forecast cashflows with accuracy.
Infrastructure assets have a low correlation to equity markets and other asset classes. For the
reason, it can provide valuable diversification in an investment portfolio. It also provides a good
match for the long-dated liabilities of ension funds due its long-life and inflation protected
returns. This stability in operating cashflows can reduce the overall volatility of returns for
investors and, in our experience; investors are finding this combination of sustainable yields,
lower volatility and inflation-linked return increasingly appealing.
But there are only five that have a sizeable money under management; and these four were
launched before 2006:
These funds include:
1.DSP ML TIGER Fund
2. Prudential ICICI Infrastructure Fund
3. Tata Infrastructure Fund
4. UTI Thematic Infrastructure Fund
These are are open-ended funds; this means you can invest in them whenever you like. We
expect some more infrastructure funds to hit the market but most of them would be close-ended

(in open-ended funds, investors are free to sell their units anytime; in close-ended funds,
investors cannot sell their units for a minimum period of time -- this minimum period is decided
by the fund).

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Repositioning leading stock broker:
Kint Dorwin (1988) in his study, the strategic planner of the largest American discount security broker,
describes how a comparatively young firm took steps to re- position itself in the market so as not to be
caught unaware by the problems of encroaching maturity. The lessons of the exercise are: listen to the
customers, examine the competition and stake out the ground you intend to hold in the future.
Merging service quality and service satisfaction- an empirical test of an
integrative model:
Ko de Ruyter, Jose bloomer and Pascal Peeters (1997) in their study, recent research linking service
quality and service satisfaction has raised issues which require conceptual and empirical elaboration.
Among these are the conceptual overlaps as well as distinctions between these two customers
judgments, the role of expectations and perceptions and the question whether service satisfaction is a
super ordinate concept to quality or vice versa. In the article, an integrative model is presented in
which both concepts and their antecedents are delineated on the basis of conceptual advances made in
the services marketing literature recently.
Share trading on the web: a comprehensive review of design specifications
across the globe:
Robert Hudson, Kevin keasey, and Kevin Littler (2000) in their study, they had given the rapid increase,over the past couple of years, of share dealing services available on the web. This paper describers the
findings of a research study into the design specification of web based (net) share trading sides. The
purpose of the research is to highlight the key features of net trading sites across the globe and to
identify best of breed examples of the features. The research is based on the latest available literature
and a review of the majority of the sites across the globe.

1 indicates that the security's price will be more volatile than the market. As seen from the above
table UTI Infrastructure Fund is most volatile followed by Tata, DSP and ICICI Prudential
respectively. Now if market rise, UTI Infrastructure Fund will rise at faster rate than other fund,but if market falls, UTI Infrastructure Fund will fall at faster rate too.

funds mentioned are below the mentioned ratio. But UTI Infrastructure fund is having maximumexpense ratio of 2.03%. Here again ICICI Infrastructure fund has least expense ratio. The reason

of a mutual fund or exchange traded fund. The main objective of investing in an equity fund is to
have long-term growth via capital appreciation apart from dividends and interest as sources of
revenue. Explicit equity funds may have their focus on specific market sector and also include
certain amount of risk.
The Equity Funds are either via the mutual funds or by any other pooled investment vehicle.
These vehicles have their prices quoted, listed and publicized. The mutual funds are generally
under the management of renowned fund management firms. Under these types of holdings, the
investors can have diversified funds with the help and services of skilled professionals known as
fund managers. These fund managers are in charge of these funds.
Each equity fund can be distinguished from the other. For example, a fund can be growth
specific or and another can value specific. These funds can be invested only in securities from
one or more countries. Fund managed by the fund managers are actively managed and the Index

Looking at the above given data, we have quite mixed reactions about these funds.
Beta of three funds is less than 1. It means that if market falls, there will comparatively small fall
in these funds, while if the market rises, there rise will also be comparatively less. So we can say
that these funds are less risky but will also give less return. Tata P/E equity fund is having beta of
more than 1 i.e. 1.01, which means 100% change in market will bring 101% change in the fund.
So this is comparatively more risky fund but is expected to give higher return. In the present

market scenario where it is very difficult to say if market would rise or fall, it is very hard to say
whether a fund should have Beta more than 1 or less than 1.

Ratio of 1.44, followed by SBI Magnum Contra Fund, Reliance Growth Fund and Tata P/E
Equity Fund. Tata P/E is having the least at 1.19 which refers this fund as high returns but with
high risk.
