    Practice makes it more perfect

    The customers are very important and play a very crucial role in any process of

    marketing. Today the customers are kings of the market because the customers

    loyalty and customers preference are built by the products and services offered to the

    customers and they seek for more benefits and moneys worth for the amount they

    spend. But these services and products are delivered to the end customers only by the

    Retailers who work as the end medium in the whole chain of sales. That is where the

    concept of Retailers preference and Retailers behaviour comes because the Retailers

    make the marketers rethink about designing their services; because of the important

    role they play in the whole chain. They have to think about the market strategies,

    Retailer behaviour, Retailers taste etc also. Many marketers are smart enough to

    understand Retailers needs, wants and demands and perform beyond their expectation

    i.e. they delight them. it provides them growth , profitability and creativity with lot of

    inventions

    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

    Indian financial system has been expiring the vast effect of globalization i.e.

    drastic interest rate cut, political disturbances, security scam etc have scattered the

    common investors perception in selecting various investment portfolio. Most of the

    security holders have lost their confidence in newly come-up corporate sectors for

    investment. Looking to the situation, it is quite encouraging to analyze how the HDFC

    Mutual Fund able to trap the deposits by introducing various schemes and how it

    protects the interest of the investors.

    The main study is based on the performance and analysis of various schemes

    with reference to HDFC Mutual Fund that is a leading mutual fund industry in India.

    The total performance analysis of financial instruments with reference to

    the HDFC Mutual Fund has got objectives. This are as follows:-

    To know the performance of the different schemes.

    The comparative study of HDFC Mutual Fund with other mutual

    funds.

    To know the investment pattern of the investors in different

    schemes.

    The benefits made from the investment on the different schemes.

    To know the ranking of the HDFC Mutual Fund Schemes.

    To know the diversify portfolio of HDFC Mutual Fund.

    To know the service which HDFC Mutual Fund is providing to its

    investors with compare to other mutual funds.

    INTRODUCTION

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

    development of a country b y facilitating the allocation of scarce resources.

    Financial markets essentially involve the allocation of resources. This can

    be thought of as the bra in of the en tire ec onomi c sys tem, the locu s of

    central decision-making; if they fail, not only will the sectors profit be

    lower than would otherwise have been, but the performance of the entire

    economic system may be impaired.

    The efficiency of financial market how ever, depends on the existence of

    active and efficient financial intermediaries in the system. Deposit taking

    institutional investor is the important financial intermediaries involved in

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

    have induced a reverse trend in financial intermediation, i.e. financial

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

    by inves tment institutions and ins titut ional inves tors . The shift from a

    credit-based system to a financial has initiated the process of

    disintermediation, and capital market based factors like insuran ce, pension

    funds and mutual funds are increasingly playing the central role.

    The reforms have successfully dismantled the entry barriers, with the

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

    mutual funds, broking firms and insurance companies, operating in the

    Indian market. The introduction of capital adequacy norms, prudential

    regulation and world class regulatory mechanisms to protect the interest of

    investor, besides the strict requirement of disclosure, have given a boost

    to the confidence of domestic and foreign investors. The Indian economy

    has slowly integrated itself with the global econom y and financial market.

    1.What is a Mutual Fund?

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

    and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as disclosed in offer

    document.

    Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and

    sectors and thus the risk is reduced. Diversification 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 quantum of money invested by

    them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders. The profits or losses are

    shared by the investors in proportion to their investments. The mutual funds normally

    come out with a number of schemes with different investment objectives which are

    launched from time to time.

    A mutual fund is required to be registered with Securities and Exchange Board of

    India (SEBI) which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds from the

    public.

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    11/61

    11

    1.1 - How is a mutual fund set up?

    A mutual fund is set up in the form of a trust, which has sponsor, trustees, asset

    Management Company (AMC) and custodian. The trust is established by a sponsor or

    more than one sponsor who is like promoter of a company. The trustees of the mutual

    fund hold its property for the benefit of the unit holders. Asset Management Company

    (AMC) approved by SEBI manages the funds by making investments in various types

    of securities.

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

    fund in its custody. The trustees are vested with the general power of superintendence

    and direction over AMC. They monitor the performance and compliance of SEBI

    Regulations by the mutual fund.

    SEBI Regulations require that at least two thirds of the directors of trustee company

    or board of trustees must be independent i.e. they should not be associated with the

    sponsors. Also, 50% of the directors of AMC must be independent. All mutual funds

    are required to be registered with SEBI before they launch any scheme. However,

    Unit Trust of India (UTI) is not registered with SEBI (as on January 15, 2002).

    1.2 - What is Net Asset Value (NAV) of a scheme?

    The performance of a particular scheme of a mutual fund is denoted by Net Asset

    Value (NAV).

    Mutual funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities markets. In

    simple words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the securities held by the

    scheme. Since market value of securities changes every day, NAV of a scheme also

    varies on day to day basis. The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a

    scheme divided by the total number of units of the scheme on any particular date. For

    example, if the market value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs 200 lakhs

    and the mutual fund has issued 10 lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    12/61

    12

    NAV per unit of the fund is Rs.20. NAV is required to be disclosed by the mutual

    funds on a regular basis - daily or weekly - depending on the type of scheme.

    1.3 - Scope for Development of Mutual Fund

    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. India has a burgeoning population of middle class now estimated

    around 300 million. A typical Indian middle class family can have liquid savings

    ranging from Rs.2 to Rs.10 Lacs today. Investments in Banks are liquid and safe, but

    with the falling rate of interest offered by Banks on Deposits, it is no longer attractive.

    At best a part can be saved in bank deposits, but what is the other sources of

    investment for the common man? Mutual Fund is the ready answer. Viewed in this

    sense globally India is one of the best markets for Mutual Fund Business, so also for

    Insurance business. This is the reason that foreign companies compete with one

    another in setting up insurance and mutual fund business units in India. The sheer

    magnitude of the population of educated white collar employees provides unlimited

    scope for development of Mutual Fund Business in India.

    1.4 - Benefits of Mutual Funds

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    13/61

    13

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

    for its phenomenal success in the developed markets like US and UK is the range of

    benefits they offer, which are unmatched by most other investment avenues. We haveexplained the key benefits in this section. The benefits have been broadly split into

    universal benefits, applicable to all schemes, and benefits applicable specifically to

    open-ended schemes.

    1. Professional Management

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

    are backed by a dedicated investment research team which analyses the

    performance and prospects of companies and selects suitable investments to

    achieve the objectives of the scheme.

    2. Diversification

    Mutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross-section of

    industries and sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do

    all stocks decline at the same time and in the same proportion. You achieve this

    diversification through a Mutual Fund with far less money than you can do on

    your own.

    3. Convenient Administration

    Investing n in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps you avoid

    many problems such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and unnecessary

    follow up with brokers and companies. Mutual Funds save your time and

    make investing easy and convenient.

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    14/61

    14

    4. Return Potential

    Over a medium to long-term, Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a

    higher return as they invest in a diversified basket of selected securities.

    5. Low Costs

    Mutual Funds are a relatively less expensive way to invest compared to directly

    investing in the capital markets because the benefits of scale in brokerage,

    custodial and other fees translate into lower costs for investors.

    6. Liquidity

    In open-ended schemes, you can get your money back promptly at net asset

    value related prices from the Mutual Fund itself. With close-ended schemes, you

    can sell your units on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or avail of

    the facility of direct repurchase at NAV related prices which some close-ended

    and interval schemes offer you periodically.

    7. Transparency

    You get regular information on the value of your investment in addition to

    disclosure on the specific investments made by your scheme, the proportion

    invested in each class of assets and the fund manager's investment strategy and

    outlook.

    8. Flexibility

    Through features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans and

    dividend reinvestment plans, you can systematically invest or withdraw funds

    according to your needs and convenience.

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    15/61

    15

    9. Choice of Schemes

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

    lifetime.

    10.Well Regulated

    All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the

    provisions of strict regulations designed to protect the interests of investors. The

    operations of Mutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI.

    11.Understanding and Managing Risk

    All investments whether in shares, debentures or deposits involve risk: share

    value may go down depending upon the performance of the company, the

    industry, state of capital market and the economy; generally, however longer the

    term, lesser the risk; companies may default in payment of interest/principal on

    their deposits/bonds debentures; the rate of interest on investment may fall short

    of the rate of inflation reducing the purchasing power.

    While risk cannot be eliminated, skillful management can minimize risk. Mutual

    fund helps to reduce risk through diversification and professional management.

    The experience and expertise of Mutual Fund managers in selecting

    fundamentally sound securities and timing their purchases and sales help them

    to build a diversified portfolio that minimize risk and maximizes returns.

    12.Tax Benefits

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

    income security due to the following benefits:-

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    16/61

    16

    Section 80L of the income Tax Act ,1961 enables tax free income up to

    rs 15000 and dividends from MF s are eligible for this benefit.

    When you invest for over a year, the tax payable on encashment is

    Long term Capitals gains tax at 20%. Once also get an indexationbenefit which has been approximately 8% per year. This reduces the

    taxable income and thus decreases the tax liability.

    There is also an opportunity to set off capital losses against gains from

    income schemes.

    Full exemption from capital gains tax as it comes under Section

    54EA/EB of the income tax Act.

    One has to pay tax only when he encash units, but have to pay tax on

    the interest earned on other debt instruments every year on an accrual

    basis, even though he receives the interest later. This generates higher

    post tax returns compared to other debt instruments.

    Tax is just like a monster that frightens a number of individuals through out

    the nation. There are just tow way to fight with this monater:

    . Conceal/Depress Income

    . Make tax efficient investments.

    Perhaps the second option is far better than the first as it gives the peace of

    mind together with a feeling that one is a responsible citizen of the nation.

    With increasing amount of awareness that is taking birth in the minds of

    investors, mutual fund has become cynosure of the eye of the several

    investors.

    The taxes available are two kinds:

    . To the mutual fund- as explained below in No 1

    . To the Investor- as explained below in No 2

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on HDFC Mutual Fund by RAJ

    17/61

    17

    1. Mutual Fund Taxation

    . Mutual fund is fully exempted from the tax under Section10 (23D) of the

    Income Tax Act1961.

    . It receives all income without deduction at source.

    . Mutual funds do not have to pay tax on trading profit, short term capital

    gain, dividend income, underwriting commission, placement fees, long

    term capital gains, other income, etc.

    2. Benefits to the Investors

    There are number of benefits that the investor of a mutual fund avail.

    These are discussed as follows:

    .Resident Unit Holders- In case of an individual or Hindu Undivided

    Families (HUFs), income by way of dividends, if any from unit of

    schemes of the fund together with other income on specified

    investment/deposit are except from tax within the overall limit of

    Rs.15000/- specified under Section80L of the I.T. Act,1961. Since

    dividends from shares no longer invite dividend tax and hence the whole

    limit is available for mutual fund dividends.

    . Tax deduction at source- as per Section196A of the Income Tax Act,

    1961, no deduction of tax at source is made from any income payable to

    the unit holders. This implies that there is no tax deduction at source for

    redemption up to any limit.

    As per Section194k of the I.T.Act 1961, deduction of tax at source is not

    made if the dividend income from a mutual fund does not exceed Rs10000

    per annum.

    1.5 Investment criteria

    Lower cost

    It is a lower cost of investment as compare to other mode of investment

    option in the market. Here the investor can invest a minimum of Rs500

    in the scheme of ELSS (Equity Link Saving Scheme).

    Less paper work

    Here less paper work is require than other. The investor give his detail

    information like his/her name,age,address,phone no., pan card no,

    nominee name and address(in case of minor) and three full signature of

    the candided.

    No cash Transactions

    Investor need not require paying cash, instead of cash investor has to

    pay cheque or demand draft. Which help to prevent misappropriation

    and also save the tax. Here the investor just writes the product name of

    mutual fund and sign on it. It also saves the time.

    No Age Bar

    There is no age bar of investor here any age group can invest in mutual

    fund. In case of minor(below 18 year) there is a nominee, so a child can

    invest through his guardian and a person having age of 70 also invest in

    mutual fund ,which is not possible in other investments.

    4.1HDFC Growth Fund

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

    approach based on a set of well established but flexible principles that

    emphasize the concept of sustainable economic earnings cash return on

    investment. The objective is to identify business with superior growth

    prospects nd good management at a reasonable price. The five basic principles

    that serve the foundation for this approach are as follows:

    Focus on the long termInvestment confers proportionate ownership of the business

    Maintain a margin safety

    Maintain a balanced outlook on the market

    Discipline approach to selling.

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

    portfolio will aim to stay invested for most of the time in large cap stocks that

    satisfy the above investment criteria. This allocation to large cap stocks also

    ensures greater liquidity in the portfolio. 20-40% of the portfolio will be

    invested in companies of scale that are either large market share holder

    FINDINGS

    My research is on HDFC GROWTH FUND. From the investors point of

    view.

    As far as analysis is concerned, we found out that the HDFC Growth Fund

    was among the best performers fund. Although all the funds are affected by

    the global meltdown, (recession) still HDFC Growth Fund has better

    performed comparing to other funds for its systematic and unsystematic risk. It

    offers advantages of diversification, market timing, and selectivity. In the

    comparison of sample of funds, HDFC Growth fund is found highly

    diversified fund and because of high diversification, it has reduced the total

    risk of portfolio.

    In the last it has given a return of 30.45% ,in last 3 years 14.35% and in last 5

    years 24.85%. So it has a good track record.

    In SIP Plan it has given 28.64% annual return science inscription.

    Further, other funds were found very poor in diversification, market timing,

    and selectivity. For the further clarification, we too studied the portfolio ofHDFC Growth fund.

    One of the findings that I came across is that generally, a good model of asset

    classes is the one that can explain a large portion of the variance of returns on

    the assets and there were some stocks in the fund portfolio, which were not

    aligned with strategy of the fund portfolio.

    The optimal situation involves the selection that proceeds from sensible

    assumptions, is carefully and logically constructed, and is broadly consistent

    with the data while collecting the stocks for the portfolio. The portfolio was

    showing constructive outcome in long time horizon and the results can be

    improved by making the minor changes in fund portfolio.

    Hence, the portfolio theory teaches us that investment choices are made on the

    basis of expected risk and returns and these expectations can be satisfied by

    having right mix of assets.

    CONCLUSION

    Mutual fund has become one of the important sources for investing. It is quite likely

    that a more efficient portfolio can be constructed directly from funds. Thus, the two-

    step process of choosing an asset allocation based on the information about

    benchmark indexes and then choosing funds in each category may be one of the best

    realistically attainable approaches. To use this approach to portfolio selection

    effectively, investors would benefit from estimates of future asset returns, risks and

    correlations, as well as from fund managements disclosure of future asset exposures

    and appropriate benchmarks.

    It has been a great opportunity for me to get a first experience of Mutual Funds. My

    study is to get the feel of how the work is carried out in relation to funds portfolio

    aspect. I got an opportunity in relation to the documentation and also the portfolio

    analysis that have been carrying out in facilitating the investor and the fund manager.

    RECOMMENDATION

    Considering the above analysis, it can be noted that the growth oriented mutual funds

    HDFC Growth Fund have performed better than their benchmark indicators. Other

    funds did not perform well even some performed negatively. Though HDFC Growth

    Fund have performed better than the benchmark of their systematic risk (volatility)

    but with respect to total risk the fund have not outperformed the Market Index.

    Growth oriented mutual funds are expected to offer the advantages of Diversification,

    Market timing and Selectivity. In the sample HDFC Growth Fund is found to be

    diversified fund and because of high diversification, it has reduced total risk of the

    portfolio. Whereas, others are low diversified and because of low diversification their

    total risk is found to be very high. Further, the fund managers of these underperforming funds are found to be poor in terms of their ability of market timing and

    selectivity.

    The fund manager of HDFC Growth Fund fund can improve the returns to the

    investors by increasing the systematic risk of the portfolio, which in turn can

    be done by identifying highly volatile shares. Alternatively, these can take

    advantage by diversification, which goes to reduce the risk if the same return

    is given to the investor at a reduced risk level, the compensation for risk might

    seem adequate.

    The fund manager can divide all securities into several asset classes and tries

    to construct an efficient portfolio based on expected returns, risk, and

    correlations of indexes representing these asset classes. The investment should

    be done in the bench mark indexes to get an efficient portfolio in such a way

    that no other combination of these indexes would result in a portfolio with a

    higher return for a given level of risk.

    SUGGESTION

    From Investor point of view:

    For the long time horizon HDFC GROWTH Mutual Fund are almost safe and

    it was given a good return. But it is totally depend upon the market situation

    and fluctuations.

    The previous performance may not be sustain in the future, so there is no

    guarantee that the same performance will continue.

    The Mutual fund are subject to market risk please read the document carefully

    before investing.

    HDFC GROWTH Fund has performed very well in the past and the risk of

    investor is moderate because of good diversification of fund. HDFC Growth

    Fund have performed better than the benchmark of their systematic risk

    (volatility).

    So this is a good fund to invest and to get a good return.
