securities.• 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.• Investors who invest in mutual funds are provided with units to participate in stock markets.
These units 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.
• The price of units in any mutual fund is governed by the value of underlying securities hence fluctuates.

basket of securities at a relatively low cost.• Suitable for small investors who generally do not have adequate time,
knowledge, experience & resources for directly accessing the capital market.

1.4. WORLD PANORAMA
• At the very dawn of commercial history, Egyptians and Phoenicians were selling shares in vessels and caravans in order to spread the risk of these perilous ventures.
• In 1822, groups of people in Belgium established a company to finance investments in national industries under the name of ‘Societe Generale de Belgique’ incorporating the concept of risk sharing.
• In 1868, the Foreign and Colonial Government Trust of London was formed, which was the real pioneer to spread risk of investors over a large number of securities and was considered as the Mecca of modern mutual funds.
• Sherman L Adams, the father of modern mutual fund, along with Charles Learoyd and Ashton Carr established a modest portfolio of 45 common stocks worth USD 50,000.
• The crash of stock markets in 1929 led to the demise of many close-end funds.• In Canada, the Canadian Investment Fund was the first to be set up in 1932
followed by Commonwealth International Corporation Limited and Corporate Investors Limited.
• The enactment of Securities Act of 1933, Investment Company Act of 1940 and Investment Advisors Act of 1940, led to the revival of mutual funds in U.S.A.
• Investment trusts in Japan were set up under the Securities Investment Law of 1951 with the three important characteristics namely contractual nature, open-end and flexibility.
• In 1980s, because of high mutual fund returns, employees (through IRA accounts) en masse shifted to equity option for their retirement fund.

1.6. STRUCTURE OF MUTUAL FUND
• Since there is a clear distinction between open ended schemes and close ended schemes, usually two different types of structural and management approaches are followed.
• The management and operations of the two types of funds, are, therefore, guided by separate regulatory mechanisms, and the rules are laid down by separate controlling authorities. However, no such distinctions exist in India and both approaches (Trust and Corporate) have been integrated by SEBI.
• The formation and operations of mutual funds in India are guided solely by the SEBI regulations.
• A mutual fund consists of four separate entities – sponsor, mutual fund trust, AMC and custodian. These are, of course, assisted by other independent administrative entities, such as banks, registrars and transfer agents.

different companies.• Professional fund managers engaged by mutual funds take desirable

CHAPTER 2 : Mutual Fund Vs Other Investments
From investors’ viewpoint mutual funds have several advantages such as: • Professional management and research to select quality securities.• Spreading risk over a larger quantity of stock whereas the investor has
limited to buy only a hand full of stocks. The investor is not putting all his eggs in one basket.• Ability to add funds at set amounts and smaller quantities such as $100 per
month• Ability to take advantage of the stock market which has generally
outperformed other investment in the long run.• Fund manager are able to buy securities in large quantities thus reducing
brokerage fees.
However there are some disadvantages with mutual funds such as:
• The investor must rely on the integrity of the professional fund manager.• Fund management fees may be unreasonable for the services rendered.• The fund manager may not pass transaction savings to the investor.• The fund manager is not liable for poor judgment when the investor's fund
loses value.• There may be too many transactions in the fund resulting in higher fee/cost
to the investor - This is sometimes call "Churn and Earn".• Prospectus and Annual report are hard to understand.• Investor may feel a lost of control of his investment dollars. There may be restrictions on when and how an investor sells/redeems
his mutual fund shares. Company Fixed Deposits versus Mutual Funds Both fixed deposits and mutual funds offer liquidity, but subject to some

Pointers to Measure Mutual Fund Performance
MEASURES DESCRIPTION IDEAL RANGE STANDARD DEVIATION
Standard Deviation allows to evaluate the volatility of the fund. The standard deviation of a fund measures this risk by measuring the degree to which the fund fluctuates in relation to its mean return.
Should be near to it’s mean return.
BETA Beta is a fairly commonly used measure of risk. It basically indicates the level of volatility associated with the fund as compared to the benchmark.
R-SQUARE R- square measures the correlation of a fund’s movement to that of an index. R-squared describes the level of association between the fund's volatility and market risk.
R-squared values range between 0 and 1, where 0 represents no correlation and 1 represents full correlation.
ALPHA Alpha is the difference between the returns one would expect from a fund, given its beta, and the return it actually produces. It also measures the unsystematic risk .
Alpha is positive = returns of stock are better then market returns. Alpha is negative = returns of stock are worst then market. Alpha is zero = returns are same as market.
SHARPE RATIO
Sharpe Ratio= Fund return in excess of risk free return/ Standard deviation of Fund. Sharpe ratios are ideal for comparing funds that have a mixed asset classes.
The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better a funds returns relative to the amount of risk taken.

CONCLUSION
• Mutual Funds now represent perhaps most appropriate investment opportunity for most investors. As financial markets become more sophisticated and complex, investors need a financial intermediary who provides the required knowledge and professional expertise on successful investing. As the investor always try to maximize the returns and minimize the risk. Mutual fund satisfies these requirements by providing attractive returns with affordable risks. Risk takers for getting capital appreciation should invest in growth, equity schemes. Investors who are in need of regular income should invest in income plans.
• The stock market has been rising for over three years now. This in turn has not only protected the money invested in funds but has also helped to grow these investments. This has also instilled greater confidence among fund investors who are investing more into the market through the MF route than ever before. Reliance India mutual funds provide major benefits to a common man who wants to make his life better than previous.
• India's largest mutual fund, UTI, still controls nearly 80 per cent of the market. Also, the mutual fund industry as a whole gets less than 2 per cent of household savings against the 46 per cent that go into bank deposits. Some fund managers say this only indicates the sector's potential. "If mutual funds succeed in chipping away at bank deposits, even a triple digit growth is possible over the next few years.
FUTURE PROSPECT OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA
Financial experts believe that the future of Mutual Funds in India will be very bright. It has been estimated that by March-end of 2010, the mutual fund industry of India will reach Rs 40,90,000 crore, taking into account the total assets of the Indian commercial banks. In the coming 10 years the annual composite growth rate is expected to go up by 13.4%.• 100% growth in the last 6 years.• Numbers of foreign AMC’s are in the queue to enter the Indian markets like
Fidelity Investments, US based, with over US$1trillion assets under management worldwide.
• Our saving rate is over 23%, highest in the world. Only channelizing these savings in mutual funds sector is required.
• We have approximately 29 mutual funds which is much less than US having more than 800. There is a big scope for expansion.
• 'B' and 'C' class cities are growing rapidly. Today most of the mutual funds are concentrating on the 'A' class cities. Soon they will find scope in the growing cities.
• Mutual fund can penetrate into rural areas like the Indian insurance industry with simple and limited products.
• SEBI allowing the MF's to launch commodity mutual funds.
• Emphasis on better corporate governance.• Trying to curb the late trading practices.• Introduction of Financial Planners who can provide need based advice.• Looking at the past developments and combining it with the current trends it can
be concluded that the future of Mutual Funds in India has lot of positive things to offer to its investors.
