PREFACE
In todays era of cut-throat competition, Masters of Business Administration (MBA)
is sure to have an edge over their counterparts.
MBA education brings its students in direct contact with the real corporate world
through industrial training. The MBA program provides its students with an in depth
study of various managerial activities that are performed in any organization.
A detailed analysis of managerial activities conducted in various departments like
production, marketing, finance, human resources, export-imports, credit dept, etc.

manage and how to obtain the maximum output through minimum inputs and how to
minimize the wastage of resources.
I have undergone my summer training at HDFC MUTUAL FUND. It is one of the
leading mutual fund companies in the country. I feel great pleasure to present this
report work after my training at HDFC MUTUAL FUND that produced to be golden
opportunity for me by enriching my knowledge by comparing my theoretical

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The economy is highly influenced by the Financial System of the country. The Indian
Financial System has been broadly divided into two segments: the organized and
unorganized. An investor has a wide array of investment avenues available. Economic
well being in the long run depends significantly on how wise he invests.
In present financial scenario where the economy is poised to grow at 9% ,as stated by
our finance minister P Chidambaram, and the present bulls run in the capital
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 5

market ,where lot of money is being pumped into the economy by FII, and increasing
disposable income with the generation next has created a problem of investment
because there is lot money on hand but they dont know where to invest as there is no
attractive return in the bank FD, PPF, KVP, NSC, MIS, and other Post saving scheme.
Due to uncertainty in share market and low returns due to low interest a rate has left
investor are puzzled, i.e. to spend the money or save the money. If to save the money
then where to save it, so that they can get better return with flexibility, tax benefit and
as well as capital appreciation. So it is necessary for investor to find the answer and
way of capital growth with better return rather than uncertain share market and other
low yield investment avenues.
All investments involve risk in varying degrees, and hence it is necessary to
understand risk profile of each investment avenues and know how it can affect your
investments. There should be trade off between risk and return. There are also risks
that are not in our control like inflation risk, credit risk, risk of sudden rise in oil
prices, risk pertaining to political environment for instance. In present financial
system, investment has lost their potential to earn additional income, which can help
for growth of their capital because the interest return which varies from approx 4% to
8% and the inflation rate hovering in and around 5%-6% so the real return is varying
between (-)2% to 2% so this is the real return what a investor gets by investing in
FIXED DEPOSIT, GOVERNMENT SECURITY ,KVP,NSC,PPF,MIS and also
blocking there money for min of 2-5 years ,in these instruments ,which is not very
encouraging for an investor to invest in these instruments .So the investor is likely to
spend his earnings than invest(save), which what is happening in our country.
Mutual fund is indeed of great benefit in this respect. They provide the services of
experienced and skilled professionals who determine this risk and monitor them on
going basis they are also backed up by research, done by individual asset
Management Company based on the fund objectives.
When investors are confronted with an outstanding range of products, form traditional
bank deposits to downright shady money-multiples schemes, it has to be judged on
the yardsticks of returns, liquidity, safety, convenience and tax efficiency. An
important question facing many investors across the country today is whether one
should invest in a bank fixed deposit or in a debt-oriented Mutual Fund. Mutual fund

gives an opportunity to the IFAs to select from different investment options ranging
from liquid funds to diversified equity ,based on there clients appetite for risk and and
the return they want .
The data is contained from insurance advisors, income tax consultant, and post office
agent. So the basic objective of the study was to test the potentiality and develop the
business of mutual funds by obtaining the data form Independent financial advisors.
During the training period and interaction with people it was found that awareness of
Mutual Fund among IFAs was there to a limited extent but there was lot of
misconceptions among them about mutual fund as I had meet few who had lost there
money in UTI scam and others though where aware of mutual fund where not
suggesting this to there clients as they thought it as to be to risky for there clients and
those who where aware where really aggressive to take the opportunity offered by
mutual fund to earn a high return. On the whole if I have to conclude my survey I
would like to say that if we have to create awareness about diversified portfolio,
professional management and SEBI Regulations and benefits it offers to IFAs and
there clients and also we have to clear few misconception which IFAs have, to tap
the huge potential which mutual fund market has to offer

PART AINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
SHORT HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
Mutual funds are not an American invention. The first was started in the Netherlands
in 1822, and the second in Scotland in the 1880's. Originally called investment trusts,
the first American one was the New York Stock Trust, established in 1889. Most that
followed were begun in Boston in the early 1920's, including the State Street Fund,
Massachusetts Investor's Trust (now called MFS), Fidelity, Scudder, Pioneer, and the
Putnam Fund. The Wellington Fund, the first balanced fund that included both stocks
and bonds, was founded in 1928, and today is part of the giant Vanguard Funds
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 8
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
9/85
Group. In the 1960's there was a phenomenal rise in aggressive growth funds (with
very high risk). Sometimes called "go-go" or "hot-shot" funds, they received the
majority of the billions of dollars flowing into mutual funds at that time. In 1968 and
1969, over 100 of these new aggressive growth funds were established.
A severe bear market began in the autumn of 1969. People became disillusioned with
stocks and mutual funds. "The market's toast. Itll never get back to where it was!"
was echoed by panicked investors. Unemployment grew; inflation went crazy, and
investors pulled billions back out of the funds. They should have hung in there! Many
funds have risen 9,000% since then.
The 1970's saw a new kind of fund innovation: funds with no sales commission called
"no load" funds. The largest and most successful no load family of funds is the
Vanguard Funds, created by John Boggle in 1977.
At the end of the 1920's there were only 10 mutual funds. At the end of the 1960's
there were 244. Today there are more than 6,500 unique funds and even thousands
more that differ only by their share class (how they are sold, and how their expenses
are charged).
Before we continue with all you need to know about mutual funds, here is something
that merits your attention. Since 1940, no mutual fund has gone bankrupt. You sure
can't say that about banks and savings and loans!
THE CONCEPT OF MUTUAL FUND IN DETAIL
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 9
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
10/85
A mutual fund is a common pool of money into which investors place their
contributions that are to be invested in accordance with a stated objective. The
ownership of the fund is thus joint or mutual, fund belongs to all investors. The
work Mutual means a vehicle wherein the benefits of a certain investment are
reaped by investors in proportion to their investment.
A mutual fund uses the money collected from investors to buy those assets which are
specifically permitted by its stated investment objective. Thus, an equity fund would
buy equity assets ordinary shares, preference shares, warrants etc. A bond fund
would buy debt instruments such as debentures, bonds or government securities. It is
these assets which are owned by the investors in the same proportion as their
contribution bears to the total contributions of all investors put together.
When an investor subscribes to a mutual fund, he or she buys a part of the assets or
the pool of funds that are outstanding at that time. It is no different from buying
shares of joint stock Company, in which case the purchase makes the investor a part
owner of the company and its assets. In fact, in the USA, a mutual fund is constituted
as an investment company and an investor buys in to the fund, meaning he buys the
shares of the fund. In India, a mutual fund is constituted as a Trust and the investor
subscribes to the units issued by the fund, which is where the term Unit Trust comes
from. However, whether the investor gets fund shares or units is only a matter of legal
distinction. In any case, a mutual fund shareholder or unit-holder is a part owner of
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 10
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
11/85
the funds assets. The term unit-holder includes the mutual fund account-holder or
close-end fund shareholder.
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 Mutual fund is
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.
WHY INVESTORS NEED MUTUAL FUNDS?
Mutual Funds offer benefits, which are too significant to miss out. Any investment
has to be judged on the yardsticks of return, liquidity and safety. Convenience and
Tax efficiency are the other benchmark relevant in Mutual Fund investments. In the
wonderful game of finance safety and return are two opposite goals and investor
cannot be nearer to both at the same time. Mutual Funds are pooled resources that get
invested in a diversified portfolio. The crux of Mutual Fund investing is averaging
the risk. When risk is equalized so are the returns.
When investor are confronted with a mind-boggling range of products, from
traditional bank deposits to downright shady money-multiplier schemes-let alone the
physical assets and non-conventional investments. Investor choice perhaps normally
falls somewhere amongst the products shown in the table below:

Many investors possibly dont know that considering returns alone, many Mutual
Funds have outperformed a host of other investment products. Mutual Funds have
historically delivered yields averaging between 9% to 25% over a medium to long
time frame (source: www.moneycontrol.com). The duration is important because like
wise, Mutual Fund returns taste better with the passage of time. Investor should be
prepared to lock in your investments preferably for 3 years in an income fund and 5
years in an equity fund. Liquid Funds of course, generate returns even in a very short
term.
Performance analysis of several funds shows that depending on the scheme and the
duration returns from funds average between 9% to 25%. Such average may be
misleading, as some would have fared poorly while others would have posted
phenomenally high returns. The burden of intelligent choice therefore rests on
investor. As the market matures and funds develop equal capabilities returns mayhowever level out.

13/85
Besides, unlike in a bank deposit or an investment in bonds, returns in Mutual Funds
may fluctuate according to market volatility. A sufficiently longer time span will help
Mutual Funds yield their best returns.
Another critical benchmark for comparing investment options is liquidity. Liquidity
refers to the case with which investor can quickly convert investments back into cash
at least cost. Mutual Fund score high on this benchmark too. And depending on the
schemes investor chooses, Mutual Funds have diverse risk profiles high, medium and
even low. Investor can choose the scheme that best matches his risk appetite.
But the decisive charm of Mutual Funds lies not so much in their returns. It is the
convenience and tax efficiency that till the balance in favour of Mutual Funds.
Convenience of open-end funds is evident in their free entry and exits, systematic
investment and withdrawal plans.
Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart
TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 13
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
14/85
There are two BASIC TYPES of mutual funds. "Open-ended" or "Open" mutual
funds are the most common type of mutual funds. Investors may purchase units from
the fund sponsor or redeem units at the valuation promised in the fund documents,
usually on a daily basis. "Closed-ended" or "Closed" mutual funds are traded as
financial securities, once they are issued, and holders must sell their units on the stock
market to receive their funds back.
1. AS PER INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Schemes can be classified by the way of their stated investment objective such as
Growth Fund, Balanced Fund and Income Fund etc
1) 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. 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.
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 14
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
15/85
General Purpose
The investment objectives of general-purpose equity schemes do not restrict them to
invest in specific industries or sectors. They thus have a diversified portfolio of
companies across a large spectrum of industries. While they are exposed to equity
price risks, diversified general purpose equity funds seek to reduce the sector or stock
specific risks through diversification. They mainly have market risk exposure. HDFC
Growth Fund is a general purpose equity scheme.
Sector Specific
The schemes restrict their investing to one or more pre-defined sectors, e.g.
technology sector. 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
I. 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.
II. Tax Saving Schemes
Investors (individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs)) are being
encouraged to invest in equity market 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 3years from the
date of allotment of the respective Units.
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 15
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
16/85
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.
III. 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 of finance
companies or may even buy their securitized assets.
2) DEBT BASED SCHEME
These schemes are 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 the 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.
I. 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.
Liquid Income Schemes
Similar to the Income scheme but with a shorter maturity than Income schemes.
II. Money Market Schemes
These schemes invest in short term instruments such as commercial paper (CP),
certificates of deposit (CD), treasury bills (T-Bill) and overnight money (Call).
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 16
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
17/85
The schemes are the least volatile of all the types of schemes because of their
investments in money market instrument with short term maturities. These schemes
have become popular with institutional investors and high net worth individuals
having short term surplus funds.
III. Gilt fund
This scheme primarily invests in Government Debt. Hence the investor usually does
not have to worry about the credit risk since Government Debt is generally credit risk
free.
3) HYBRID SCHEMES
These schemes are commonly known as balanced schemes. These schemes invest in
both Equity as well as Debt. By investing in a mix of this nature, balanced schemes
seek to attain the objective of income and moderate capital appreciation and are ideal
for investors with a conservative, long term orientation.
2. AS PER CONSTITUTION
1) OPEN ENDED MUTUAL FUNDS
Open-ended schemes do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can buy or sell
units at NAV-related prices from and to the mutual fund on any business day. These
schemes have unlimited capitalization, open-ended schemes do not have a fixed
maturity, there is no cap on the amount you can buy from the fund and the unit capital
can keep growing. These funds are not generally listed on any exchange.
2) CLOSE-ENDED MUTUAL FUNDS
Close-ended schemes have fixed maturity periods. Investors can buy into these funds
during the period when these funds are open in the initial issue. After that such
schemes can not issue new units except in case of bonus or rights issue. However,
after the initial issue, you can buy or sell units of the scheme on the stock exchanges
where they are listed. The market price of the units could vary from the NAV of the
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 17
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
18/85
scheme due to demand and supply factors, investors expectations and other market
factors
3) INTERVAL SCHEME
These schemes combine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes. They
may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or redemption during
pre-determined intervals at NAV based prices.

ORGANISATION OF MUTUAL FUND
THE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF:
SPONSOR
Sponsor is the person who acting alone or in combination with another body corporateestablishes a mutual fund. Sponsor must contribute at least 40% of the net worth of
the Investment managed and meet the eligibility criteria prescribed under the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996. The
sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss or shortfall resulting from the
operation of the Schemes beyond the initial contribution made by it towards setting up
of the Mutual Fund.
TRUST
The Mutual Fund is constituted as a trust in accordance with the provisions of the
Indian Trusts Act, 1882 by the Sponsor. The trust deed is registered under the Indian
Registration Act, 1908.
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 19
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
20/85
TRUSTEE
Trustee is usually a company (corporate body) or a Board of Trustees (body of
individuals). The main responsibility of the Trustee is to safeguard the interest of the
unit holders and ensure that the AMC functions in the interest of investors and in
accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds)
Regulations, 1996, the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Offer Documents of the
respective Schemes. At least 2/3rd directors of the Trustee are independent directors
who are not associated with the Sponsor in any manner.
ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY (AMC)
The AMC is appointed by the Trustee as the Investment Manager of the Mutual Fund.
The AMC is required to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) to act as an asset management company of the Mutual Fund. At least 50% of
the directors of the AMC are independent directors who are not associated with the
Sponsor in any manner. The AMC must have a net worth of at least 10 cores at all
times.
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
The AMC if so authorized by the Trust Deed appoints the Registrar and Transfer
Agent to the Mutual Fund. The Registrar processes the application form, redemption
requests and dispatches account statements to the unit holders. The Registrar and
Transfer agent also handles communications with investors and updates investor
records.

PHASES OF MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of
India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank. The history ofmutual fund in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases.
FIRST PHASE 1964-1987
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set
up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and
administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978, UTI was de-linked from
the RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the
regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by
UTI was Unit Scheme in 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6, 700 cores of assets
under management.

SECOND PHASE 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
1987 marked the entry of non-UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by the public
sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance
Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the first non-UTI Mutual Fund
established in June 1987
Name of the Mutual Fund Company Time of establishment
SBI Mutual Fund June - 1987
Can bank Mutual Fund December - 1987
Punjab National bank Mutual Fund August - 1989
Indian bank Mutual Fund November - 1989
Bank of India Mutual Fund June - 1990
Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund October - 1992
LIC Mutual Fund June - 1989
GIC Mutual Fund December - 1990
At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47,
004 cores.
THIRD PHASE 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)
With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual
fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993
was the year in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being under which
all the mutual funds except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile
Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first privates sector
mutual fund registered in July 1993.
The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more
comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now
functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996.
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 22
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
23/85
The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual
funds setting up funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers
and acquisitions. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with the
total assets of Rs. 1, 12,805 cores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs. 44,541 cores of
assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.
FOURTH PHASE since February 2003
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963, UTI was
bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the specified undertaking of the Unit
Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29, 835 cores as at the end of
January 2003, representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured return and
certain other schemes. The specified undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning
under an administrator and under the rules framed by Government of India and does
not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations.
The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is
registered with SEBI and functions under the Mutual fund Regulations. With the
bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76, 000 cores
of assets under management and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund,
conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations and with the recent mergers taking
place among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its
current phase of consolidation and growth. As at the end of September, 2004, there
were 29 funds, which manage assets of Rs. 153108 cores under 421 schemes.

THE WAY & TYPE TO INVEST IN MUTUAL FUND
Mutual funds normally come out with an advertisement in newspapers publishing the
date of launch of the new schemes. Investors can also contact the agents anddistributors of mutual funds who are spread all over the country for necessary
information and application forms. Forms can be deposited with mutual funds through
the agents and distributors who provide such services. Now days, the post offices and
banks also distribute the units of mutual funds. However, the investors may please
note that the mutual funds schemes being marketed by banks and post offices should
not be taken as their own schemes and no assurance of returns is given by them. The
only role of banks and post offices is to help in. distribution of mutual funds schemes
to the investors. Investors should not be carried away by commission/gifts given by
agents/distributors for investing in a particular scheme. On the other hand they must
consider the track record of the mutual fund and should take objective decision.

BENEFITS OF MUTUAL FUND
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 have
explained 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. AFFORDABILITY
A mutual fund invests in a portfolio of assets, i.e. bonds, shares, etc. depending upon
the investment objective of the scheme. An investor can buy in to a portfolio of
equities, which would otherwise be extremely expensive. Each unit holder thus gets
an exposure to such portfolios with an investment as modest as Rs.500/-. This amount
today would get you less than quarter of an Infosys share! Thus it would be affordable
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 28
8/4/2019 Gen Study-no Graph
29/85
for an investor to build a portfolio of investments through a mutual fund rather than
investing directly in the stock market.
2. DIVERSIFICATION
The nuclear weapon in your arsenal for your fight against Risk. It simply means that
you must spread your investment across different securities (stocks, bonds, money
market instruments, real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and different sectors (auto, textile,
information technology etc.). This kind of a diversification may add to the stability of
your returns, for example during one period of time equities might under perform but
bonds and money market instruments might do well enough to offset the effect of a
slump in the equity markets. Similarly the information technology sector might be
faring poorly but the auto and textile sectors might do well and may protect your
principal investment as well as help you meet your return objectives.
3. VARIETY
Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This variety is beneficial in two
ways: first, it offers different types of schemes to investors with different needs and
risk appetites; secondly, it offers an opportunity to an investor to invest sums across a
variety of schemes, both debt and equity. For example, an investor can invest his
money in a Growth Fund (equity scheme) and Income Fund (debt scheme) depending
on his risk appetite and thus create a balanced portfolio easily or simply just buy a
Balanced Scheme.
4. PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
Qualified investment professionals who seek to maximize returns and minimize risk
monitor investor's money. When you buy in to a mutual fund, you are handing your
money to an investment professional that has experience in making investment
decisions. It is the Fund Manager's job to (a) find the best securities for the fund,
given the fund's stated investment objectives; and (b) keep track of investments and
changes in market conditions and adjust the mix of the portfolio, as and when
required.

30/85
5. TAX BENEFITS
Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the assessment
of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit holders of open-
ended equity-oriented funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31, 2003,
will be taxed at a confessional rate of 10.5%.
In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families a deduction unto Rs. 9,000 from
the Total Income will be admissible in respect of income from investments specified
in Section 80L, including income from Units of the Mutual Fund. Units of the
schemes are not subject to Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax.
6. REGULATIONS
Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the mutual funds regulator has clearly
defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules relate to the formation,
administration and management of mutual funds and also prescribe disclosure and
accounting requirements. Such a high level of regulation seeks to protect the interest
of investors.
7. CONVENTIONAL ADMINISTRATION
Investing in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps you avoid many problems
such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and follow up with brokers and companies.
Mutual Funds save your time and make investing easy and convenient. 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.
8. LIQUIDITY
In open-ended mutual funds, you can redeem all or part of your units any time you
wish. Some schemes do have a lock-in period where an investor cannot return the
units until the completion of such a lock-in period.
9. CONVENIENCE
An investor can purchase or sell fund units directly from a fund, through a broker or a
financial planner. The investor may opt for a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) or a
Systematic Withdrawal Advantage Plan (SWAP). In addition to this an investor
receives account statements and portfolios of the schemes.

MARKETINGSCENARIO
The last few years have seen an increased attention to mutual funds across all genres
of investors big or small, individuals or corporate. The growing awareness of the
advantages that mutual funds offer over other investments avenues have been better
communicated and more understood.
A mutual fund is the ideal investment vehicle for todays complex and modern
financial scenario. Markets for equity shares, bonds and other fixed income
instruments, real estate, derivatives and other assets have become mature and
information driven. Price changes in these assets are driven by global events
occurring in faraway places. A typical individual is unlikely to have the knowledge,
skills, inclination and time to keep track of events, understand their implications and
act speedily.
A mutual fund is answer to all these situations. It appoints professionally qualified
and experienced staffs that manages each of these functions on a fulltime basis. Now,
Mutual Fund is new developing market. In fact, the mutual fund vehicle exploits
economies of scale in all three areas research, investment and transaction processing.

market segment consists of large identifiable group within a market with similar
wants, purchasing power, buying attitudes or buying habits. As HDFC mutual fund is

amount for a continuous period, at regular intervals so that investor has the advantage
of rupee cost averaging and also helps him save compulsorily a fixed amount each
amount.

POSITIONING STRATEGY
Positioning is the act of designing the companys offering and image to occupy a
distinctive place in the target markets mind.
Positioning starts with a product. A piece of merchandise, a service, a company, an
institution, or even a person. But positioning is not what you do to a product.
R. K. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (RKCBM) 49

Positioning is what you do the mind of the prospect. That is, you position the product
in the mind of prospect. A companys differentiating and positioning strategy must
change as the product, market, and competitors change over time. Once the company
has developed a clear positioning strategy, it must communicate at the positioning
effectively. There should be no under positioning, over positioning, confused
positioning or doubtful positioning.

Tradition of Trust. It is accurate positioning strategy because it signifies a trust with
its clients.

satisfaction and give them guidance about various schemes which helps them to get
right scheme which suit their investment needs. In this way it continues to maintain a
trust with its clients.
DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES
Availing of the services of established distribution companies is practice accepted by
mutual fund internationally. This practice evolve with a view to provide the huge
administrative mechanism require supporting a large agent force. Instead of having to
deal with several agents, a fund can interact with distribution a company which has
several employees or sub brokers under it.
BANK & NBFCS
In developed countries, bank are an important marketing vehicles for mutual funds
given that banks themselves had large depositors/ clients base of their own. We can
see the opening up of this new channel now in India. Several banks, particularly
private and foreign banks are involved in fund distribution by providing services
similar to those of distribution companies, on a commission basis.
DIRECT MARKETING
Direct marketing means that the mutual funds sell their own products without any use
of intermediateries. Usually, this takes the form of the sales officer and employees of

the AMC who approach the investor and accept their contribution directly. However
in India, independent agents may really be created as a direct marketing channel in a
sense that they do not form a well knit independent and organized a single entity and
act more like fund employees. Others channel like distribution companies or banks or
even stock brokers are clearly distinct and independent intermediaries.

psychology, behaviour and attitudes of men and women at work, personnel function,
i.e., manpower management function is becoming increasingly specialized. The
personnel function or system can be broadly defined as the management of people at
work- management of managers and management of workers. Personnel function is
particularly interested in personnel relationship and interaction of employees-human
relations.
In a sense, management is personnel administration. Management is the development
of people, and not mere direction of material resources. Human capital is the greatest
asset of a business enterprise. The essential ingredient of management is the
leadership and direction of people. Each manager of people has to be his own
personnel man. Personnel management is not something you really turn over to
personnel department staff.
