    Introduction

    Mutual funds:

    Mutual funds, as the name indicates is the fund where in numerous investors come together to

    invest in various schemes of mutual fund. Mutual funds are dynamic institution, which plays

    a crucial role in an economy by mobilizing savings and investing them in the capital market,

    thus establishing a link between savings and the capital market.

    A mutual fund is an institution that invests the pooled funds of public to create a diversified

    portfolio of securities. Pooling is the key to mutual fund investing. Each mutual fund has a

    specific investment objective and tries to meet that objective through active portfolio

    management.

    Mutual fund as an investment company combines or collects money of its shareholders and

    invests those funds in variety of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments. The latter

    include securities, commercial papers, certificates of deposits, etc. Mutual funds provide the

    investor with professional management of funds and diversification of investment.

    Investors who invest in mutual funds are provided with units to participate in stock markets.

    These units are investment vehicle that provide a means of participation in the stock market

    for people who have neither the time, nor the money, nor perhaps the expertise to undertake

    the direct investment in equities. On the other hand they also provide a route into specialist

    markets where direct investment often demands both more time and more knowledge than an

    investor may possess.

    The price of units in any mutual fund is governed by the value of underlying securities. The

    value of an investors holding in a unit can therefore, like an investment in share, can go

    down as well as up. Hence it is said that mutual funds are subjected to market risk. Mutual

    fund cannot guarantee a fixed rate of return. It depends on the market condition. If a

    particular scheme is performing well then more return can be expected.

    It also depends on the fund manager expertise knowledge. It is also seen that people invest in

    particular funds depending on who the fund manager is.

    The following diagram shows the working of mutual fund

    This diagram signifies the importance of Mutual Fund.

    A 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 invested by the fund manager in different types of

    securities depending upon the objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to

    debentures to money market instruments. The income earned through these investments and

    the capital appreciations realized by the schemes are shared by its unit holders in proportion

    to the number of units owned by them.

    Thus a mutual fund is the most suitable investment for the common person as it offers an

    opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a

    relatively low cost.Since small investors generally do not have adequate time, knowledge, experience &

    Page | 12

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    13/67

    resources for directly accessing the capital market, they have to rely on an intermediary,

    which undertakes informed investment decisions & provides consequential benefits of

    professional expertise.

    The advantage of Mutual Funds to the investors is professionally managed, low transaction

    cost, liquidity, transparency, well regulated, diversified portfolios & tax benefits. By pooling

    their assets through mutual funds, investors achieve economies of scale.

    A collected corpus can be used to procure a diversified portfolio indicating greater returns has

    also create economies of scale through cost reduction. This principle has been effective

    worldwide as more & more investors are going the mutual fund way. This portfolio

    diversification ensures risk minimization. The criticality of such a measure comes in when

    you factor in the fluctuations that characterize stock markets. The interest of the investors is

    protected by the SEBI, which acts as a watchdog. Mutual funds are governed by SEBI

    (Mutual Funds) regulations, 1996.

    ORGANISATION OF A MUTUAL FUND

    There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the organizational set up

    of a mutual fund:

    Mutual funds have a unique structure not shared with other entities such as companies or

    firms. It is important for employees & agents to be aware of the special nature of this

    structure, because it determines the rights & responsibilities of the funds constituents viz.,

    sponsors, trustees, custodians, transfer agents & of course, the fund & the Asset Management

    Company(AMC) the legal structure also drives the inter-relationships between these

    constituents.

    Page | 13

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    14/67

    The structure of the mutual fund India is governed by the SEBI (Mutual Funds) regulations,

    1996. These regulations make it mandatory for mutual funds to have a structure of sponsor,

    trustee, AMC, custodian. The sponsor is the promoter of the mutual fund,& appoints the

    trustees. The trustees are responsible to the investors in the mutual fund, & appoint the AMC

    for managing the investment portfolio. The AMC is the business face of the mutual fund, as it

    manages all affairs of the mutual fund. The mutual fund & the AMC have to be registered

    with SEBI. Custodian, who is also registered with SEBI, holds the securities of various

    schemes of the fund in its custody.

    Sponsor:

    The sponsor is the promoter of the mutual fund. The sponsor establishes the Mutual fund &

    registers the same with SEBI. He appoints the trustees, Custodians & the AMC with prior

    approval of SEBI, & in accordance with SEBI regulations. He must have at least five year

    track record of business interest in the financial markets. Sponsor must have been profit

    making in at leastthree of the above five years. He must contribute at least 40% of the capital

    of theAMC.

    Trustees:

    The Mutual Fund may be managed by a Board of trustees of individuals, or a trust company

    a corporate body. Most of the funds in India are managed by board of trustees. While the

    board of trustees is governed by the provisions of the Indian trust act, where the trustee is the

    corporate body, it would also be required to comply with the provisions of the companies act,

    1956. the board of trustee company, as an independent body, act as protector of the unit-

    holders interest. The trustees dont directly manage the portfolio of securities. For this

    specialist function, they appoint an AMC. They ensure that the fund is managed by AMC as

    per the defined objectives & in accordance with the trust deed & SEBI regulations.

    The trust is created through a document called the trust deed i.e., executed by the fund

    sponsor in favor of the trustees. The trust deed is required to be stamped as registered under

    the provision of the Indian registration act & registered with SEBI. The trustees begin the

    primary guardians of the unit-holders funds & assets, a trustee has to be a person of high

    repute & integrity.

    Asset Management Company(AMC):

    The role of an Asset management companies is to act as the investment manager of the trust.They are the ones who manage money of investors. An AMC takes decisions, compensates

    Page | 14

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    15/67

    investors through dividends, maintains proper accounting & information for pricing of units,

    calculates the NAV, & provides information on listed schemes. It also exercises due diligence

    on investments & submits quarterly reports to the trustees. AMCs have been set up in various

    countries internationally as an answer to the global problem of bad loans.

    Bad loans are essentially of two types: bad loans generated out of the usual banking

    operations or bad lending, and bad loans which emanate out of a systematic banking crisis.

    It is in the latter case that banking regulators or governments try to bail out the banking

    system of a systematic accumulation of bad loans which acts as a drag on their liquidity,

    balance sheets and generally the health of banking. So, the idea of AMCs or ARCs is not to

    bail out banks, but to bail out the banking system itself.

    Types of AMCs in Indian Context:

    The following are the various types of AMCs we have in India:

    AMCs owned by banks.

    AMCs owned by financial institutions.

    AMCs owned by Indian private sector companies.

    AMCs owned by foreign institutional investors.

    AMCs owned by Indian & foreign sponsors.

    Custodian:

    Often an independent organization, it takes custody all securities & other assets of mutual

    fund. Its responsibilities include receipt & delivery of securities collecting income-

    distributing dividends, safekeeping of the unit & segregating assets & settlements between

    schemes.

    Mutual fund is managed either trust company board of trustees. Board of trustees & trust are

    governed by provisions of Indian trust act. If trustee is a company, it is also subject Indian

    Company Act. Trustees appoint AMC in consultation with the sponsors & according to SEBI

    regulation. All mutual fund schemes floated by AMC have to be approved by trustees.

    Trustees review & ensure that net worth of the company is according to stipulated norms,

    every quarter.

    Though the trust is the mutual fund, the AMC is its operational face. The AMC is the first

    functionary to be appointed, & is involved in appointment of all other functionaries. The

    AMC structures the mutual fund products, markets them & mobilizes fund, manages the

    funds & services to the investors.

    A draft offer document is to be prepared at the time of launching the fund. Typically, it pre-

    specifies investment objectives of the fund, the risk associated, the cost involved in the

    process & the broad rules to enter & to exit from the fund & other areas of operation. In India

    as in most countries, these sponsors need approval from a regulator, SEBI in our case. SEBI

    looks at track records of the sponsor & its financial strength granting approval to the fund for

    commencing operations.

    A sponsor then hires an asset management company to invest the funds according to the

    investment objective. It also hires another entity to be the custodian of the assets of the fund

    & perhaps the third one to handle registry work for the unit holder of the fund.

    Registrars & Transfer Agent(R & T Agent):

    The Registrars & Transfer Agents(R & T Agents) are responsible for the investor servicing

    function, as they maintain the records of investors in mutual funds. They process investor

    applications; record details provide by the investors on application forms; send out toinvestors details regarding their investment in the mutual fund; send out periodical

    information on the performance of the mutual fund; process dividend payout to investor;

    incorporate changes in information as communicated by investors; & keep the investor record

    up-to-date, by recording new investors & removing investors who have withdrawn their

    funds.

    SEBI Securities and Exchange Board of India:

    Securities and Exchange Board ofIndia (SEBI) is a board (autonomous body) created by

    the Government of India in 1988 and given statutory form in 1992 with the SEBI Act 1992

    with its head office at Mumbai.

    The Securities and Exchange Board of India is perhaps the most important regulatory body.

    Similar to the Securities Exchange Commission in the US, it is the authority that has to

    always be on its toes. More so, when the markets are doing well and there are a spate of IPOs

    (initial public offerings) or FPOs (follow-on public offerings) like now.

    Its main mandate is to protect the interest of investors in the securities markets and to

    promote the development of and to regulate the securities markets so as to establish a

    dynamic and efficient securities market.

    When investors have complaints against listed companies or registered intermediaries, and if

    they are not solved directly between the parties concerned, or if the investor is not happy with

    the response then SEBI acts as the nodal agency for addressing these complaints.

    SEBI has listed certain categories of grievances for which investors can file complaints with

    it. These include:

    Non-receipt of refund order or allotment advice in case of investment in IPO's, FPO's

    and rights issues

    Non-receipt of dividend from listed companies

    Non-receipt of share certificates after transfer from listed companies

    Non-receipt of debentures after transfer or non-receipt of interest or principal on

    redemption and non-receipt of interest on delayed repayment

    Non-receipt of rights offer letter

    is lesser than investing in merely 2 or 3 securities.

    4.

    Low

    s

    Mutual funds provide investors with various schemes with different

    TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES:

    By Structure

    o Open-ended schemes

    o Close-ended schemes

    o Interval schemes

    By Investment Objective

    o Growth schemes

    o Income schemes

    o Balance schemes

    o Money Market schemes

    Other types of schemes

    o Tax Saving schemes

    o Special schemes

    o Index schemes

    o Sector specific schemes

    Schemes according to maturity period:

    A mutual fund scheme can be classified into open-ended scheme or close-ended scheme

    depending on its maturity period.

    Open-ended Fund / Scheme

    An open-ended fund or scheme is one that is available for subscription and repurchase on a

    continuous basis. These schemes do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can

    conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices which are declared

    on a daily basis. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.

    Close-ended Fund / Scheme

    A close-ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years. The fund is

    open 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 thereafter they

    can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where the units are listed. In

    order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of

    selling back the units to the mutual fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices.

    SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor

    Page | 20

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    21/67

    i.e. either repurchase facility or through listing on stock exchanges. These mutual funds

    schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis.

    Interval scheme

    Interval funds combine the features of open-ended & closed ended schemes. They are open

    for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.

    Schemes according to Investment Objective:

    A scheme can also be classified as growth scheme, income scheme, or balanced scheme

    considering its investment objective. Such schemes may be open-ended or close-endedschemes as described earlier. Such schemes may be classified mainly as follows:

    Growth / Equity Oriented Schemes

    The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term.

    Such schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in equities. Such funds have

    comparatively high risks.

    These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital

    appreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences. The

    investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual funds also allow the

    investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having

    a long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time.

    Income / Debt Oriented Scheme

    The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes

    generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, Government

    securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity

    schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However,

    opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds

    are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs

    of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term

    investors may not bother about these fluctuations.

    Balanced Fund

    The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as such schemes

    invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer

    documents. These are appropriate for investors looking for moderate growth. They generally

    invest 40-60% in equity and debt instruments. These funds are also affected because of

    fluctuations in share prices in the stock markets. However, NAVs of such funds are likely to

    be less volatile compared to pure equity funds.

    Money Market or Liquid Fund

    These funds are also income funds and their aim is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of

    capital and moderate income.

    These schemes invest exclusively in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills,

    certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money, government securities,

    etc. Returns on these schemes fluctuate much less compared to other funds. These funds are

    appropriate for corporate and individual investors as a means to park their surplus funds for

    short periods.

    Other Schemes

    Tax Saving Schemes

    These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of the Income Tax

    Act, 1961 as the Government offers tax incentives for investment in specified avenues. e.g.

    Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS). Pension schemes launched by the mutual funds also

    offer tax benefits. These schemes are growth oriented and invest pre-dominantly in equities.

    Their growth opportunities and risks associated are like any equity-oriented scheme.

    Gilt Fund

    These funds invest exclusively in government securities. Government securities have no

    default risk. NAVs of these schemes also fluctuate due to change in interest rates and other

    economic factors as is the case with income or debt oriented schemes.

    VARIOUS CRITERIA TO EVALUATE THE MUTUAL FUNDS

    The most important and widely used measures of performance are:-

    Basic criterions to evaluate the mutual fund schemes

    P/E ratio

    Turnover ratio

    Expense ratio

    Standard deviation

    P/E Ratio

    A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings.

    (EPS).

    Calculated as:

    EPS is the profit that a company makes on a per share basis. So, if EPS is one, the PE ratio

    will reflect the price that an investor will pay for this one rupee of the company's profits.

    Higher PE ratio signifies that investor expectation from these shares is higher. This is because

    the growth in share price is expected to follow earnings growth.

    In general, a high P/E suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the

    future compared to companies with a lower P/E. However, the P/E ratio doesn't tell us the

    whole story by itself. It's usually more useful to compare the P/E ratios of one company to

    other companies in the same industry, to the market in general or against the company's own

    historical P/E.

    Page | 25

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    26/67

    Turnover Ratio

    The turnover ratio is the lower of the total sales or total purchases over the period divided by

    the average of the net assets. Higher the turnover ratio, greater is the volume of trading

    carried out by the fund.

    The turnover ratio is more important for equity and balanced funds where the trading cost of

    equities is substantial. So, each time a fund manager buys and sells, he has to keep in mind

    that the cost of buying and selling will eat into the fund's returns. Dynamic equity funds,

    which can move rapidly between sectors, will obviously have a higher turnover ratio. Here

    risk will not be just of the fund manager making a wrong call on a sector but also that of

    turnover risk. In comparison a passively managed fund, such as an index fund, will have a

    lower turnover rate compared to an active fund as it has to just mirror the index. The only

    trading here will be due to investments, redemptions and changes in the index. Also, it is not

    meaningful to use turnover ratio for new schemes, which are not fully invested. As the

    scheme is deploying its assets there will be more transactions, at least buy orders, as

    compared to a fund` which is fully invested. Turnover ratio is less relevant for income funds

    as brokerage costs are much lower, and hence they will have a lower potential to eat into

    returns. So, even though gilt funds may have equally high turnover as compared to equity

    funds, the impact of this turnover is much less.

    In Short, Turnover ratio is a measure of how a fund's portfolio changes in a year. This ratio

    indicates how much a fund is trading. Understanding turnover ratio helps in gaining insights

    into a fund's performance.

    Expense Ratio

    Expense ratio is the percentage of total assets that are spent to run a mutual fund. As returns

    from bond funds tend to be similar, expenses become an important factor while comparingbond funds.

    SHARPE RATIO

    St= Rp --Rf

    S.D

    WHERE

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    27/67

    Rp Avereage return to portfolio

    RfRisk free rate of interest

    S.D- Standard Deviation

    Sharpes performce index gives a single value to be used for the performance ranking of

    various funds or portfolios. Sharpe index measures the risk premium of the portfolio relative

    to the total amount of risk in the portfolio. The risk premium is the difference between the

    portfolios average rate of return and the risk less rate of return. The standard deviation of the

    portfolio indicates the risk.

    Higher the value of sharpe ratio better the fund has performed. Sharpe ratio can be used to

    rank the desirability of funds or portfolios. The fund that has performed well comapred to

    other will be ranked first then the others.

    TREYNOR RATIO

    Ty= RpRf

    B

    WHERE

    Rp- Average return to portfolio

    Rf- Risk less rate of interest.

    B- Beta coeffecient

    Treynor ratio is based on the concept of characteristic line. Characteristic line gives the

    relation between a given market return and funds return. The funds performance is

    measured in relation to market performance. The ideal funds return rises at a faster rate than

    the market performance when the market is moving upwards and its rate of return declines

    slowly than the market return, in the decline.

    Treynors risk premium of the portfolio is the difference between the aveage return and the

    risk less rate of return. The risk premium depends on the systematic risk assumed in a

    portfoilo.

    28/67

    Standard Deviation

    Standard Deviation is the most common statistical measure of judging a fund's volatility and

    risk. It gives you a 'quality rating' of an average.

    A measure of the total volatility of a fund is based on the trailing three-year monthly returns.

    For debt and gilt funds it is based on average weekly return over the past one and a half years.

    The Standard Deviation of an average is the amount by which the numbers that go into an

    average deviate from that average. It tells us how closely an average represents the

    underlying numbers. A high Standard Deviation may be a measure of volatility, but it does

    not necessarily mean that such a fund is worse than one with a low Standard Deviation. If the

    first fund is a much higher performer than the second one, the deviation will not matter much.

    BETA

    Beta describes the relationship between the stocks return and index returns. There can be

    direct or indirect relation between stocks return and index return. Indirect relations are very

    rare.

    1) Beta =+1.0

    It indicates that one percent change in market index return causes exactly one percent changein the stock return. It indicates that stock moves along with the market.

    2) Beta= + 0.5

    One percent changes in the market index return causes 0.5 percent change in the stock return.

    It indicates that it is less volatile compared to market.

    3) Beta=2.0

    One percent change in the market index return causes 2 percent change in the stock return.

    The stock return is more volatile. The stocks with more than 1 beta value are considered to be

    very risky.

    4) Negative beta value indicates that the stocks return move in opposite direction to the

    market return.

    Beta= N*XY- (X) (Y/ N(X*X) * (x)

    NAV

    Net Asset Value or NAV of a mutual fund is the value of one unit of investment in the fund,

    in net asset terms.

    NAV = Net Assets of the scheme / Number of Units Outstanding

    Where Net Assets are calculated as:-

    (Market value of investments + current assets and other assets + Accrued income current

    liabilities and other liabilities less accrued expenses) / No. of Units Outstanding as at the

    EQUITY SCHEMES:

    The investments of these schemes will predominantly be in the stock markets and endeavor

    will be to provide investors the opportunity to benefit from the higher returns which stock

    markets can provide. However they are also exposed to the volatility and attendant risks of

    stock markets and hence should be chosen only by such investors who have high risk taking

    capacities and are willing to think long term. Equity Funds include diversified Equity Funds,

    Sectoral Funds and Index Funds. Diversified Equity Funds invest in various stocks across

    different sectors while Sectoral funds which are specialized Equity Funds restrict their

    investments only to shares of a particular sector and hence, are riskier than Diversified Equity

    Funds. Index Funds invest passively only in the stocks of a particular index and the

    performance of such funds move with the movements of the index.

    same time the expected returns from debt funds would be lower. Such investments are

    advisable for the risk-averse investor and as a part of the investment portfolio for other

    CHANNELS OF SELLING MUTUAL FUNDS

    Mutual funds are emerging as an important financial intermediary for the investing public in

    India. Conceptually and operationally they are different. The investors need to understand the

    working of a mutual fund and the increasingly diverse and complex investment options

    brought to them by a large number of mutual funds. The key channel in bringing the mutual

    funds to a large number of investors all over the country is the network of

    INTERMEDIARIES/DISTRIBUTORS. In this industry we have five different channels

    through which mutual fund are sold:

    1 Mutual Fund Company

    2 National Distributors (NDs) & Intermediaries

    3 Banks

    4 Individual Financial Advisors (IFAs)

    5 Internet

    Each one has its own customer base. Their way of dealing with them is totally different from

    other. Every one attracts in their own way. How they attract we will study. There are many

    industries here. The urgency to keep increasing in size has led mutual funds to use marketing

    hooks to draw investors. As we rely only on channel partners, our relation with them really is

    going to play a vital role. How different companies lure the partners, well study that. As to

    start with we will first study about the intermediaries in brief by describing who they are and

    how they help a direct investor.

    Mutual Fund Office:Anyone can walk into a mutual funds office, and buy/sell units of its schemes. Its a simple

    process, and there are employees of the fund house on hand to guide you through. If you are

    buying units, you will have to fill up an application form and hand over a cheque equivalent

    to your investment. The fund house will give you an acknowledgement of your investment in

    its scheme(s) and subject to your cheque being cleared, send you an account statement within

    three to seven days. Since a fund house market only its schemes and not those of its

    competitors, buying directly means knowing which fund house we want to invest in. If we areselling units, the relevant document is the redemption form, which sometimes forms part of

    Page | 36

  • 7/30/2019 Aviith Arora

    37/67

    your account statement and can be torn off it, or can be had from the fund houses office. The

    fund house mails the cheque within three days. The problem with transacting through fund

    house is that they have a very thin presence. Most fund houses have just an office or two in

    the big cities; moreover, since such offices are located in the central business district, for

    most investors, this means travelling a fair distance. Its worse in smaller centres-only a few

    fund houses have a scattered presence. But as the industry grows and gains greater investor

    acceptance. Mutual funds are bound to expand beyond cities.

    Intermediaries:

    Distributors such as agents, banks and stockbrokers are present in much greater numbers,

    which makes them the preferred option among investors. While dealing with the

    intermediaries, make sure they have the AMFI (Association of Mutual Fund in India)

    certification-a SEBI precondition; since September 2003, for selling mutual funds, intended t

    ensure that only qualified distributors dispense mutual fund advice. AMFI issues photo

    identity cards to registered intermediaries, which is proof of their having acquired the

    certification.

    National Distributors

    The big agents are one-stop sellers of financial products. Agents score over mutual funds on

    convenience, choice and quality of service. They operate from multiple locations-for

    example, national distributors like Bajaj Capital has more outlets than most mutual funds-and

    are supported by an army of registered agents, some of whom are willing to come to our

    doorstop and sell schemes to you. Further, while a mutual fund offer its schemes, a big agent

    has the biggest stock among all mutual fund sellers, selling virtually all schemes of virtually

    every fund house, as well as other investment products. For us, this means more choice. If we

    know the scheme we want to invest in, go to an agent, fill up the schemes form and give in a

    cheque. Even if we dont know which scheme we want to invest in, a good agent will

    understand our need and help you pick a scheme. The agent should understand our reasons

    for investing in a mutual fund and based on that offer us appropriate options, and let us make

    a choice. An agent is supposed to be impartial and not show a preference towards a particular

    fund house. The very nature of the relationship between an intermediary and fund houses

    opens up the possibility of bias. Fund houses pay intermediaries a commission linked to the

    business they bring in. If fund house X pays a higher commission than fund house Y, an

    intermediary might push scheme X, as it stands to earn more. How do we know that we are

    being misguided or not? The entry load charged by a scheme can offer us some clues. The

    entry load represents the upfront costs an investor pays to invest in a scheme, and the agents

    commission tends to flow out of it. The higher the entry load, chances are, the higher the

    agents commission. If the agent is pushing the higher load scheme, perhaps he is more

    interested in maximizing his commission than our returns. Hence always know the entry load

    being charged by a scheme. Till mid 2002, intermediaries passed on a part of their

    commission to investors, as an incentive to invest. The amount of cash paid depended largely

    on much they got from a fund house. Obviously the more they got form the fund house, the

    more they passed on to investors. This often created an unhealthy situation, where cash

    incentives, and not investment-worthiness, determined which scheme, an agent

    recommended. In June 2002, to stop such abuse, SEBI made it illegal for intermediaries to

    give money and gifts to investors. Although intermediaries cant lure you with money now

    (legally speaking that is), their commission-based earnings structure means a distributor

    could still be a partial to a fund house. Which is why, listen to what an intermediary to say

    but also do the homework, and use your judgement to make an informed decision.

    Banks

    A number of banks, especially the private and foreign ones, are into marketing the mutual

    fund schemes. Many of them market not only their own schemes, but also those of their rivalsas a point of purchase; banks are a good option because of their fantastic reach-banks can be

    founded in every neighborhood. This wide reach has enabled banks to emerge as a major

    distributor. In 1999, barely 10 percent of fresh mutual fund sales were made through banks;

    during 2003, various estimates put the share of banks in mutual fund sales at between 30

    percent and 50 percent. In terms of scope of service, banks are a notch below agents.

    Whatever your profile or investment amount might be, an agent will offer you personalized

    service-he will listen to your investment needs, offer you information on various schemes as

    asked by you, and suggest investment options. However, typically a bank will not give you

    this option or attention, unless you are a big money client and subscribe to its wealth

    management services. What banks will do, unconditionally, is help you through the

    investment formalities like filling up a form and offering basic information. But things are

    changing and banks are also giving personalized service to its retail investors also.

    Individual Financial Advisors

    Big brokers combine the attributes of agents (one-stop shop, personalized service) and banks

    (a team of analyst who crack the mutual fund industry). This service, though usually comes at

    a cost, and is reserved for their clients. Small brokers, on the other hand, welcome retailinvestors, but most of them market schemes of select fund houses only. These are

    independent professionals trained to advice you on all personal finance matters. They all sell

    financial products, as agents currently do. Unlike agents, though, CFPs might charge you for

    their services.

    The Internet

    At present, around 3 percent of mutual fund transactions are done online. This figure is bound

    to increase, with better Net connectivity are also expected to tie up with more banks, which

    will bring more investors into the loop.The other move that will provide a fillip to online

    transactions to be supplemented by physical documentation. At present, some fund houses

    enable buying-and in some instances, selling on three platforms:

    1. Own websites-- Most of the mutual fund houses let you buy and sell the units of their

    schemes through their websites. All you need is a Net banking account with any of the banks

    the fund houses have tied up with. You log on to the funds site, choose your scheme and

    investment amount. A link on the website takes you to the website of the designated bank,

    where you make your payment.

    Money is transferred from your Net banking account to the mutual fund and units are allotted

    to you instantaneously. The transaction is also documented in the physical form-the fund

    houses send you the application form to sign, and send back. Once you have done an online

    transaction with a fund house, you can open an online account with it. This will enable you to

    sell your holdings, switch between the schemes and purchase additional units-at the click of amouse.

    2. Financial Portals-- You can also buy units of several mutual funds through financial

    portals as myiris.com, timesofmoney.com and indiainfoline.com among others. The process

    and requirements are similar to that of for buying through the funds site. However, most

    portals enable only purchase.

    3. Online trading portals-- Share trading portals like ICICI Direct (icicidirect.com) and

    Sharekhan (sharekhan.com) too offer a fair number of mutual fund schemes on their

    Page | 39

    platforms. Registered user can buy or sell their units on offer, just like a stock-at no extra

    cost.

    SBI Mutual Fund Gurgaon has 30 IFAs and NDs and they also sell mutual fund through all

    its SBI branches in Gurgaon and some of the private banks like Axis bank. Some brokerage is

    charged by NDs and IFAs, no brokerage is given for sales through SBI branches and direct

    selling through head Office of SBI mutual Fund.

    Learnings from the internship

    I was put into the distribution channel of SBI mutual Fund. Most of the time was spent selling

    and promoting SBI mutual fund in MR branch of SBI. Since only small investors visit that

    bank so I was asked to focus mainly on two schemes of equity diversified segment of SBImutual fund SBI MSFU Contra Fund, SBI MSFU Emerging Business Fund and SBI

    Magnum Taxgain fund (for tax saving). Emerging Business Fund has also been rated five

    stars by moneycontrol.com. Contra Fund and Taxgain fund are most famous funds of SBI

    mutual fund. Most of the investors I came across had already heard about Contra and Taxgain

    fund. I gained a good knowledge of Mutual fund and also a nice experience of selling mutual

    funds through this internship. After spending some weeks in SBI banks I visited other

    channels of Distribution. I was sent to various IFAs, National Distributors and Private Banks.

    Promotion of new brokerage plan for SIP and MIP was also done while visiting IFAs and

    national Distributors. Through interaction with them I found out that SBI had a tough

    competition with Reliance, Birla SL, HDFC, DSP BR, UTI, IDFC, Fidelity and ICICI

    prudential. Investors especially big investors who have already invested in mutual funds

    preferred these companies over SBI. Services offered by private companies were better than

    that of SBI. I have shortlisted some schemes in the same segment i.e. equity diversified

    scheme to compare with MSFU contra fund and MSFU emerging business fund. Based on

    rankings onwww.moneycontrol.com and feedback from various investors and NDs and also

    survey in banks like ICICI, Indusind etc. I identified ICICI prudential discovery fund, HDFC

    top 200 and Reliance RSF equity to compare with MSFU contra and emerging business

    Fund.
