    INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUNDS

    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 then invested in capital

    market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned

    through these investments and the capital appreciation realized is 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 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 describes broadly the working of mutual funds.

    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

    offer document.

    nvestments in securities are spread across a wide cross!section of industries

    and sectors and thus the risk is reduced. "iversification reduces the risk because all

    stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time.Mutual fund issues units to the investors in accordance with #uantum of money

    invested by them. nvestors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.

    The investors in proportion to their investments share the profits or losses. The

    mutual funds normally come out with a number of schemes with different investment

    objectives that are launched from time to time.

    "ifferent investment avenues are available to investors. Mutual funds also offer

    good investment opportunities to the investors. $ike all investments, they also carry

    effort was made to avoid unnecessary #uestions and to include all the necessary

    #uestions.

    Most of the #uestions in the #uestionnaire are closed!end #uestions i.e., they

    pre! specify all possible answers and respondents make a choice among them. There

    are only few #uestions which are opened #uestions, i.e. That allows the respondents to

    answers in their own words. 'are has been taken to make the wording of #uestion as
