EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
Mutual fund is a fund contributed by the investors to the mutual fund company with the
specific objective to invest in equities, debt, deposits, Government securities etc
As mutual fund is a collection of fund the risk will also be distributed amongst the investors.
Hence the profit and loss both will be distributed amongst them.
Mutual fund is now on the growing stage, but unfortunately the awareness about the mutual
fund is less as compared to other investment avenues.Mutual fund is a diversified portfoliowith diversification of risk, advantage of qualified professional management, affordability,
transparency.
In mutual fund itself, there is one other alternative, which is offshore mutual fund. Offshore
mutual fund refers to the investment made out of the investors home country. But whenmutual fund companies invest in foreign companies, have to follow some rules and
regulations guided by the SEBI.
The objective of the offshore mutual fund is to seek the benefit of multi economy, multi
equity market. But with it some risks are also associated, like market risk, currencyfluctuations, political risk etc. Investors do not like to invest in such type of funds; the only
reason is that these funds have booked badly past performance.
The only need towards the offshore mutual fund to earn profit, even then its poor
performance is to build a strategy. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a way to earn good
return from the poor performing funds. SIP works on the base of Rupee Cost Averaging.
Through SIP the cost of unit decreases, and when the NET Asset Value goes down (NAV),
investor will get more units, so overall the volume of unit will be raise, and even in less
NAV, investor will able to earn good return from it.
So, even if it performs badly, good strategies will able investor to earn good return. The only
need is to make aware the investors about such type of strategies.

THE BEGINNING OF MUTUAL FUND
Mutual funds really captured the public's attention in the 1980s and '90s when mutual fundinvestment hit record highs and investors saw incredible returns. However, the idea of
pooling assets for investment purposes has been around for a long time. Here we look at the
evolution of this investment vehicle, from its beginnings in the Netherlands in the eighteenth
century to its present status as a growing, international industry with fund holdings
accounting for trillions of dollars in the United States alone.
Historians are uncertain of the origins of investment funds; some cite the closed-end
investment companies launched in the Netherlands in 1822 by King William I as the first
mutual funds, while others point to a Dutch merchant named Adriaan van Ketwich whose
investment trust created in 1774 may have given the king the idea. Van Ketwich probably
theorized that diversification would increase the appeal of investments to smaller investors
with minimal capital. The name of van Ketwich's fund, Eendragt Maakt Magt, translates to
"unity creates strength". The next wave of near-mutual funds included an investment trust
launched in Switzerland in 1849, followed by similar vehicles created in Scotland in the
1880s.
The idea of pooling resources and spreading risk using closed-end investments soon took root
in Great Britain and France, making its way to the United States in the 1890s. The Boston
Personal Property Trust, formed in 1893, was the first closed-end fund in the U.S. The
creation of the Alexander Fund in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1907 was an important step
in the evolution toward what we know as the modern mutual fund. The Alexander Fund
featured semi-annual issues and allowed investors to make withdrawals on demand.

GROWTH OF MUTUAL FUNDSA GLOBAL VIEW
The background for the growth of mutual funds throughout the developed anddeveloping nations has similar characteristics.
Mutual funds have emerged as rivals to banks in savings mobilization becausebanking services could not exhibit extraordinary efforts to employ household savings
in remunerative avenues. Banks did not tap the capital market to obtain higher yield
and offer better return to investors.
Individual investors over the years have developed keen interested in securitiesmarket and changed their investment behavior as witnessed in the shift in their
preference from bank deposits to acquire financial instruments for attaining higher
returns and capital gains accompanied with fiscal concessions.
The above phenomena exist globally and provide support to the growth of mutualfund industry. A beginning was made in 1960 when the concept of mutual fund was
familiarized in most of the developed nations, but it made tremendous growth only in
1980s.
Published materials reveal that mutual funds during 1980s, in many developedcountries had registered enormous growth. These developed nations include Italywhere mutual fund registered a growth of 200%, Japan 600%, UK 350%, Germany
330%, but USA exhibit super performance. At present US Mutual Funds have worth
of over $1 trillion spreading over 30,000 mutual funds commanding investment of
25% of the households and having over 5 crores shareholders account. Mutual fund
industry in USA occupied first position in financial sector.
Besides above countries, mutual fund industry has witnessed significant growth incommonwealth countries like Canada, Australia, third world countries like Mexico
and South Africa.

MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The origin of mutual fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept ofmutual fund by UTI in the year 1963. Though the growth was slow, but it accelerated
from the year 1987 when non-UTI players entered the industry.
In the past decade, Indian mutual fund industry had seen dramatic improvements, bothqualities wise as well as quantity wise.
Before, the monopoly of the market had seen an ending phase; the Assets UnderManagement (AUM) was Rs. 67bn.
The private sector entry to the fund family raised the AUM to Rs. 470 bn in March1993 and till April 2004; it reached the height of 1,540bn.
Putting the AUM of the Indian Mutual Funds Industry into comparison, the total of itis less than the deposits of SBI alone, constitute less than 11% of the total deposits
held by the Indian banking-industry.
The main reason of its poor growth is that the mutual fund industry in India is new inthe country. Large sections of Indian investors are yet to be intellectuated with the
concept.
Hence, it is the prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to market theproduct correctly abreast of selling.

MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY PHASES
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 of India. The History of
Mutual Funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases.
First Phase (1964-87):-
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an act of parliament. It was set up by
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 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6,700 crores 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 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 followed by Canbank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank
Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of
Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC established its Mutual Fund in June 1989 while GIC had
set up its Mutual Fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its Mutual Fund in December
1990.At the end of 1993, the Mutual Fund industry had assets under
management of Rs.47,004 crores.
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 Mutual Funds,
except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari pioneer
(now merged with UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari
pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first Private Sector Mutual Fund
registered in July 1993.The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) regulations were substituted by a morecomprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions
under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) regulations 1996.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 total assets of Rs.1,21,805 Corers.The Unit Trust of India
with Rs.44,541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other Mutual Funds.

11/69
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 crores 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 anadministrator 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. 76,000crores of assets under management and
with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund, confirming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations,
and with recent mergers taking place among different private sector funds, the Mutual Fundindustry has entered its current phase of consolidation and growth. As at the end of October
31, 2003, there were 31 funds, which manage assets of Rs.1, 26,726crores under 386
schemes.

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 appreciations realized 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 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 a Mutual Fund.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
14/69
A Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) that pools up the money from individual/corporate investors and invests the
same on behalf of the investors/unit holders, in Equity shares, Government ,Bonds, Call Money Markets etc, and distributes the profits. In the other words, a
Mutual Fund allows investors to indirectly take a position in a basket of assets.
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 among a wide cross-section of industries and sectors thus
the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the
same direction in the same proportion at same time. Investors 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 investmentobjectives which are launched from time to time. A Mutual Fund is required to be
registered with Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) which regulates securities markets
before it can collect funds from the public.

ORGANISATION OF A MUTUAL FUND:-
There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the organizational set upof a Mutual Fund:
Mutual Funds diversify their risk by holding a portfolio of instead of only one asset. This is
because by holding all your money in just one asset, the entire fortunes of your portfolio
depend on this one asset. By creating a portfolio of a variety of assets, this risk is
substantially reduced.
Mutual Fund investing in Mutual Funds contains the same risk as investing in the markets,
the only difference being that due to management of funds the controllable risks are
substantially reduced. A important risk involved in Mutual Fund investments is the marketrisk. However, the company specific risks are largely eliminated due to professional fund
management.

The main responsibility of the Trustee is to safeguard the interest of the unit holders and inter
alias ensure that the AMC functions in the interest of investors and in accordance with the

the Trust Deed and the Offer Documents of the respective Schemes. There must be at least 4
members in the Board of Trustees; At least 2/3rd directors of the Trustee are independent
directors who are not associated with the Sponsor in any manner. Trustee of one mutual fund
cannot be a trustee of another mutual fund.

units in the secondary market. AMC has to feed back the trustees about its fund management
operations and has to maintain a perfect information system.
CUSTODIANS
Mutual funds run by the subsidiaries of the nationalized banks had their respective sponsor
banks as custodians like canara bank, SBI, PNB, etc. Foreign banks with higher degree of
automation in handling the securities have assumed the role of custodians for mutual funds.
With the establishment of stock Holding Corporation of India the work of custodian for
mutual funds is now being handled by it for various mutual funds. Besides, industrial
investment trust company acts as sub-custodian for stock Holding Corporation of India for
domestic schemes of UTI, BOI MF, LIC MF, etc

IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF A MUTUAL FUND:-
Funds. The ownership of the mutual fund is in the hands of the Investors.A MutualFund actually belongs to the investors who have pooled their
A Mutual Fund is managed by investment professional and other Service providers,who earns a fee for their services, from the funds.
The pool of Funds is invested in a portfolio of marketable investments. The value of the portfolio is updated every day. The investors share in the fund is denominated by units. The value of the units
changes with change in the portfolio value, every day. The value of one unit of
investment is called net asset value (NAV).
The investment portfolio of the mutual fund is created according to The statedInvestment objectives of the Fund.
OBJECTIVES OF A MUTUAL FUND:-
To Provide an opportunity for lower income groups to acquire without Muchdifficulty, property in the form of shares.
To Cater mainly of the need of individual investors, whose means are small? To Manage investors portfolio that provides regular income, growth, Safety,
liquidity, tax advantage, professional management and diversification.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
20/69
ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:-
1. Professional Management -The basic advantage of funds is that, they areprofessional managed, by well qualified professional. Investors purchase funds
because they do not have the time or the expertise to manage their own portfolio.
A mutual fund is considered to be relatively less expensive way to make and
monitor their investments.
2. Diversification - Purchasing units in a mutual fund instead of buyingindividual stocks or bonds, the investors risk is spread out and minimized up to
certain extent. The idea behind diversification is to invest in a large number of
assets so that a loss in any particular investment is minimized by gains in others.
3. Economies of Scale -Mutual fund buy and sell large amounts of securities ata time, thus help to reducing transaction costs, and help to bring down the average
cost of the unit for their investors.
4. Liquidity -Just like an individual stock, mutual fund also allows investors toliquidate their holdings as and when they want.
5. Simplicity - Investments in mutual fund is considered to be easy, compare toother available instruments in the market, and the minimum investment is small.
Most AMC also have automatic purchase plans whereby as little as Rs. 2000,
where SIP start with just Rs.50 per month basis.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
21/69
Disadvantages of Investing Mutual Funds:-
1. Professional Management- Some funds doesnt perform in neither themarket, as their management is not dynamic enough to explore the availableopportunity in the market, thus many investors debate over whether or not the so-
called professionals are any better than mutual fund or investor him self, for
picking up stocks.
2. CostsThe biggest source of AMC income, is generally from the entry & exitload which they charge from an investors, at the time of purchase. The mutual
fund industries are thus charging extra cost under layers of jargon.
3. Dilution -Because funds have small holdings across different companies, highreturns from a few investments often don't make much difference on the overall
return. Dilution is also the result of a successful fund getting too big. When money
pours into funds that have had strong success, the manager often has trouble
finding a good investment for all the new money.
4. Taxes -when making decisions about your money, fund managers don't consideryour personal tax situation. For example, when a fund manager sells a security, a
capital-gain tax is triggered, which affects how profitable the individual is from
the sale. It might have been more advantageous for the individual to defer the
capital gains liability.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA

INVESTORS PROFILE:
An investor normally prioritizes his investment needs before undertaking aninvestment. So different goals will be allocated to different proportions of the total
disposable amount. Investments for specific goals normally find their way into the debt
market as risk reduction is of prime importance, this is the area for the risk-averse
investors and here, Mutual Funds are generally the best option. One can avail of the
benefits of better returns with added benefits of anytime liquidity by investing in open-ended
debt funds at lower risk, this risk of default by any company that one has chosen to invest
in, can be minimized by investing in Mutual Funds as the fund managers analyze the
companies financials more minutely than an individual can do as they have the expertise to
do so.
Moving up the risk spectrum, there are people who would like to take some risk and invest
in equity funds/capital market. However, since their appetite for risk is also
limited, they would rather have some exposure to debt as well. For these investors,
balanced funds provide an easy route of investment, armed with expertise of investment
techniques, they can invest in equity as well as good quality debt thereby reducing risks and
providing the investor with better returns than he could otherwise manage. Since they can
reshuffle their portfolio as per market conditions, they are likely to generate moderate returns
even in pessimistic market conditions.
Next comes the risk takers, risk takers by their nature, would not be averse to investing in
high-risk avenues. Capital markets find their fancy more often than not, because they have
historically generated better returns than any other avenue, provided, the money was
judiciously invested. Though the risk associated is generally on the higher side of the
spectrum, the return-potential compensates for the risk attached.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
1. OPEN-ENDED MUTUAL FUNDS:-
The holders of the shares in the Fund can resell them to the issuing Mutual Fund
company at the time. They receive in turn the net assets value (NAV) of the shares at the
time of re-sale. Such Mutual Fund Companies place their funds in the secondary securities
market. They do not participate in new issue market as do pension funds or life insurance
companies. Thus they influence market price of corporate securities. Open-end
investment companies can sell an unlimited number of Shares and thus keep going larger.
The open-end Mutual Fund Company Buys or sells their shares. These companies sell newshares NAV plus a Loading or management fees and redeem shares at NAV.In other words,
the target amount and the period both are indefinite in such funds.
2.CLOSED-ENDED MUTUAL FUNDS:-
A closedend Fund is open for sale to investors for a specific period, after whichfurther sales are closed. Any further transaction for buying the units or repurchasing
them, Happen in the secondary markets, where closed end Funds are listed. Therefore new
investors buy from the existing investors, and existing investors can liquidate their units by
selling them to other willing buyers. In a closed end Funds, thus the pool of Funds cantechnically be kept constant. The asset management company (AMC) however, can
buy out the units from the investors, in the secondary markets, thus reducing the
amount of funds held by outside investors. The price at which units can be sold or redeemed
Depends on the market prices, which are fundamentally linked to the NAV. Investors in
closed end Funds receive either certificates or Depository receipts, for their holdings in a
closed end mutual Fund.
3. Interval Schemes:
Interval Schemes are that scheme, which combines the features of open-ended and close-
ended schemes. The units may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or
redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
24/69
RATE OF RETURN ON MUTUAL FUNDS:-
An investor in mutual fund earns return from two sources:
Income from dividend paid by the mutual fund.
Capital gains arising out of selling the units at a price higher than theacquisition price.
The risk return trade-off indicates that if investor is willing to take higher risk then
correspondingly he can expect higher returns and vise versa if he pertains to lower risk
instruments, which would be satisfied by lower returns. For example, if an investors opt for
bank FD, which provide moderate return with minimal risk. But as he moves ahead to invest
in capital protected funds and the profit-bonds that give out more return which is slightly
higher as compared to the bank deposits but the risk involved also increases in the same
proportion
Thus investors choose mutual funds as their primary means of investing, as Mutual funds
provide professional management, diversification, convenience and liquidity. That doesntmean mutual fund investments risk free. This is because the money that is pooled in are not
invested only in debts funds which are less riskier but are also invested in the stock markets
which involves a higher risk but can expect higher returns. Hedge fund involves a very highrisk since it is mostly traded in the derivatives market which is considered very volatile.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MUTUAL FUNDS:-
Investing in Mutual Funds, as with any security, does not come without risk. One of the most
basic economic principles is that risk and reward are directly correlated. In other words, the
greater the potential risk the greater the potential return. The types of risk commonly
associated with Mutual Funds are:
1) MARKET RISK
Market risk relates to the market value of a security in the future. Market prices fluctuate and
are susceptible to economic and financial trends, supply and demand, and many other factors
that cannot be precisely predicted or controlled.
2) POLITICAL RISK
Changes in the tax laws, trade regulations, administered prices, etc are some of the many
political factors that create market risk. Although collectively, as citizens, we have indirect
control through the power of our vote individually, as investors, we have virtually no control.
3) INFLATION RISK
Interest rate risk relates to future changes in interest rates. For instance, if an investor invests
in a long-term debt Mutual Fund scheme and interest rates increase, the NAV of the scheme
will fall because the scheme will be end up holding debt offering lower interest rates.
4) BUSINESS RISK
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
26/69
Business risk is the uncertainty concerning the future existence, stability, and profitability of
the issuer of the security. Business risk is inherent in all business ventures. The future
financial stability of a company cannot be predicted or guaranteed, nor can the price of its
securities. Adverse changes in business circumstances will reduce the market price of the
companys equity resulting in proportionate fall in the NAV of the Mutual Fund scheme,which has invested in the equity of such a company.
5) ECONOMICRISK
Economic risk involves uncertainty in the economy, which, in turn, can have an adverse
effect on a companys business. For instance, if monsoons fail in a year, equity stocks ofagriculture-based companies will fall and NAVs of Mutual Funds, which have invested in
such stocks, will fall proportionately.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
Mutual Fund industry today, with about 30 players and more than six hundred schemes, is
one of the most preferred investment avenues in India. However, with a plethora of schemes
to choose from, the retail investor faces problems in selecting funds. Factors such asinvestment strategy and management style are qualitative, but the funds record is an
important indicator too.
Though past performance alone cannot be indicative of future performance, it
is, frankly, the only quantitative way to judge how good a fund is at present. Therefore,
there is a need to correctly assess the past performance of different Mutual Funds.
Worldwide, good Mutual Fund companies over are known by their AMCs and this fameis directly linked to their superior stock selection skills.
For Mutual Funds to grow, AMCs must be held accountable for their selection ofstocks. In other words, there must be some performance indicator that will reveal the quality
of stock selection of various AMCs.
Return alone should not be considered as the basis of measurement of the performance of a
Mutual Fund scheme, it should also include the risk taken by the fund manager because
different funds will have different levels of risk attached to them. Risk
associated with a fund, in a general, can be defined as Variability or fluctuations in the
returns generated by it. The higher the fluctuations in the returns of a fund during a given
period, higher will be the risk associated with it. These fluctuations in the returns generated
by a fund are resultant of two guiding forces. First, general market fluctuations,
which affect all the securities, present in the market, called Market risk or Systematic risk
and second, fluctuations due to specific securities present in the portfolio of the
fund, called Unsystematic risk. The Total Risk of a given fund is sum of these two and is
measured in terms of standard deviation of returns of the fund.
Systematic risk, on the other hand, is measured in terms of Beta, which represents
fluctuations in the NAV of the fund vis--vis market. The more responsive the NAV of a
Mutual Fund is to the changes in the market; higher will be its beta. Beta is calculated by
relating the returns on a Mutual Fund with the returns in the market. While
Unsystematic risk can be diversified through investments in a number of instruments,
systematic risk cannot. By using the risk return relationship, we try to assess the
competitive strength of the Mutual Funds one another in a better way. In order to
determine the risk-adjusted returns of investment portfolios, several eminent authors
have worked since 1960s to develop composite performance indices to evaluate
a portfolio by comparing alternative portfolios within a particular risk class.

The most important and widely used measures of performance are:
The TreynorMeasure
The Sharpe Measure
Jenson Model
Fama Model
1) The Treynor Measure:-
Developed by Jack Treynor, this performance measure evaluates funds on the basis of
Treynor's Index.
This Index is a ratio of return generated by the fund over and above risk free rate of return
(generally taken to be the return on securities backed by the government, as there is no credit
risk associated), during a given period and systematic risk associated with it (beta).
Symbolically, it can be represented as:
Treynor's Index (Ti) = (Ri - Rf)/Bi.
Where,
Ri represents return on fund,
Rf is risk free rate of return, and
Bi is beta of the fund.
All risk-averse investors would like to maximize this value. While a high and positive
Treynor's Index shows a superior risk-adjusted performance of a fund, a low
and negative Treynor's Index is an indication of unfavorable performance.
2) The Sharpe Measure :-
In this model, performance of a fund is evaluated on the basis of Sharpe Ratio, which is a
ratio of returns generated by the fund over and above risk free rate of return and the total riskassociated with it
According to Sharpe, it is the total risk of the fund that the investors are concerned about.
So, the model evaluates funds on the basis of reward per unit of total risk.
Symbolically, it can be written as:
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
29/69
Sharpe Index (Si) = (Ri - Rf)/Si
Where,
Si is standard deviation of the fund,
Ri represents return on fund, and
Rf is risk free rate of return.
While a high and positive Sharpe Ratio shows a superior risk-adjusted performance of a fund,
a low and negative Sharpe Ratio is an indication of unfavorable performance.
Comparison of Sharpe and Treynor
Sharpe and Treynor measures are similar in a way, since they both divide the risk
premium by a numerical risk measure. The total risk is appropriate when we are
evaluating the risk return relationship for well-diversified portfolios. On the other hand, the
systematic risk is the relevant measure of risk when we are evaluating less than fullydiversified portfolios or individual stocks. For a well-diversified portfolio the total risk is
equal to systematic risk. Rankings based on total risk (Sharpe measure) and systematic
risk (Treynor measure) should be identical for a well-diversified portfolio, as the total risk
is reduced to systematic risk. Therefore, a poorly diversified fund that ranks higher on
Treynor measure, compared with another fund that is highly diversified, will rank lower on
Sharpe Measure.
3) Jenson Model:-
Jenson's model proposes another risk adjusted performance measure. This measure was
developed by Michael Jenson and is sometimes referred to as the differential Return
Method. This measure involves evaluation of the returns that the fund has generated vs. the
returns actually expected out of the fund1 given the level of its systematic risk. The surplus
between the two returns is called Alpha, which measures the performance of a fund compared
with the actual returns over the period. Required return of a fund at a given level of risk (Bi)
can be calculated as:
Ri = Rf + Bi (Rm - Rf)
Where,Ri represents return on fund, and
Rm is average market return during the given period,
Rf is risk free rate of return, and
Bi is Beta deviation of the fund.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
30/69
After calculating it, Alpha can be obtained by subtracting required return from the actual
return of the fund.Higher alpha represents superior performance of the fund and vice versa.
Limitation of this model is that it considers only systematic risk not the entire risk associated
with the fund and an ordinary investor cannot mitigate unsystematic risk, as his knowledge
of market is primitive.
4) Fama Model:-
The Eugene Fama model is an extension of Jenson model. This model compares the
performance, measured in terms of returns, of a fund with the required return
commensurate with the total risk associated with it. The difference between these two is
taken as a measure of the performance of the fund and is called Net Selectivity.
The Net Selectivity represents the stock selection skill of the fund manager, as it is the excess
returns over and above the return required to compensate for the total risk taken by the fund
manager. Higher value of which indicates that fund manager has earned returns well
above the return commensurate with the level of risk taken by him.
Required return can be calculated as: Ri = Rf + Si/Sm*(Rm - Rf)
Where,
Ri represents return on fund,
Sm is standard deviation of market returns,
Rm is average market return during the given period, and
Rf is risk free rate of return.
The Net Selectivity is then calculated by subtracting this required return from the actualreturn of the fund.
Among the above performance measures, two models namely, Treynor measure and
Jenson model use Systematic risk is based on the premise that the Unsystematic risk is
diversifiable. These models are suitable for large investors like institutional investors
with high risk taking capacities as they do not face paucity of funds and can invest in a
number of options to dilute some risks. For them, a portfolio can be spread across a
number of stocks and sectors. However, Sharpe measure and Fama model that consider the
entire risk associated with fund are suitable for small investors, as the ordinary investor
lacks the necessary skill and resources to diversify. Moreover, the selection of the fund on the
basis of superior stock selection ability of the fund manager will also help in safeguarding the
money invested to a great extent. The investment in funds that have generated big returns at
higher levels of risks leaves the money all the more prone to risks of all kinds that may
exceed the individual investors' risk appetite.

MUTUAL FUND SCHEME TYPES:
Equity Diversified Schemes :-These schemes mainly invest in equity. They seek to achieve long-term capital
appreciation by responding to the dynamically changing Indian economy by moving across
sectors such as Lifestyle, Pharma, Cyclical, Technology, etc.
Sector Schemes :-
These schemes focus on particular sector as IT, Banking, etc. They seek to generate
long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and related securities of
companies in that particular sector.
Index Schemes :-
These schemes aim to provide returns that closely correspond to the return of
a particular stock market index such as BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty, etc. Such schemes invest in
all the stocks comprising the index in approximately the same weightage as they are given in
that index.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) :-
ETFs invest in stocks underlying a particular stock index like NSE Nifty or BSE
Sensex. They are similar to an index fund with one crucial difference. ETFs are listed and
traded on a stock exchange. In contrast, an index fund is bought and sold by the fund and its
distributors.
Equity Tax Saving Schemes :-
These work on similar lines as diversified equity funds and seek to achieve long-term capital
appreciation by investing in the entire universe of stocks. The only difference between
these funds and equity-diversified funds is that they demand a lock-in of 3 years to gain
tax benefits.
Dynamic Funds :-
These schemes alter their exposure to different asset classes based on themarket scenario. Such funds typically try to book profits when the markets are overvalued
and remain fully invested in equities when the markets are undervalued. This is suitable for
investors who find it difficult to decide when to quit from equity.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
32/69
Balanced Schemes :-
These schemes seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation with stability of
investment and current income from a balanced portfolio of high quality equity and fixed-
income securities.
Medium-Term Debt Schemes :-These schemes have a portfolio of debt and money market instruments where the
average maturity of the underlying portfolio is in the range of five to seven years.
Short-Term Debt Schemes :-
These schemes have a portfolio of debt and money market instruments where the
average maturity of the underlying portfolio is in the range of one to two years.
Money Market Debt Schemes :-
These schemes invest in debt securities of a short-term nature, which generally means
securities of less than one-year maturity. The typical short-term interest-bearing
instruments these funds invest in Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposit, Commercial
Paper and Inter-Bank Call Money Market.
Medium-Term Gilt Schemes :-
These schemes invest in government securities. The average maturity of the securities in the
scheme is over three years.
Short-Term Gilt Schemes :-
These schemes invest in government securities. The securities invested in are of short to
medium term maturities.
Floating Rate Funds :-
They invest in debt securities with floating interest rates, which are generally linked to some
benchmark rate like MIBOR. Floating rate funds have a high relevance when interest
rates are on the rise helping investors to ride the interest rate rise.
Monthly Income Plans (MIPS) :-
These are basically debt schemes, which make marginal investments in the range of 10-25%
in equity to boost the schemes returns. MIP schemes are ideal for investors who seek slightlyhigher return that pure long-term debt schemes at marginally higher risk.

DIFFERENT MODES OF RECEIVING THE INCOME
EARNED FROM MUTUAL FUND INVESTMENTS
Mutual Funds offer three methods of receiving income:
Growth Plan :-
In this plan, dividend is neither declared nor paid out to the investor but is builtinto the valueof the NAV. In other words, the NAV increases over time due to such incomes and the
investor realizes only the capital appreciation on redemption of his investment.
Income Plan :-
In this plan, dividends are paid-out to the investor. In other words, the NAV only
reflects the capital appreciation or depreciation in market price of the underlying
portfolio.
Dividend Re-investment Plan :-
In this case, dividend is declared but not paid out to the investor, instead, it is reinvested back
into the scheme at the then prevailing NAV. In other words, the investor is given additionalunits and not cash as dividend.

MUTUAL FUND INVESTING STRATEGIES:
1.Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) :-
These are best suited for young people who have started their careers and need to build their
wealth. SIPs entail an investor to invest a fixed sum of money at regular intervals in the
Mutual fund scheme the investor has chosen, an investor opting for SIP in xyz Mutual Fund
scheme will need to invest a certain sum on money every month/quarter/half-year in the
scheme.
2. Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs) :-
These plans are best suited for people nearing retirement. In these plans, an investor
invests in a mutual fund scheme and is allowed to withdraw a fixed sum of money at regular
intervals to take care of his expenses.
3. Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs) :-
They allow the investor to transfer on a periodic basis a specified amount from one
scheme to another within the same fund family meaning two schemes belonging to thesame mutual fund. A transfer will be treated as redemption of units from the scheme from
which the transfer is made. Such redemption or investment will be at the
applicable NAV. This service allows the investor to manage his investments actively to
achieve his objectives. Many funds do not even charge any transaction fees for his
servicean added advantage for the active investor.

ADVANTAGES OF INVESTING TRHOURGH MUTUAL
FUNDS :-
There are several reasons that can be attributed to the growing popularity and suitability of
Mutual Funds as an investment vehicle especially for retail investors:
ASSET ALLOCATION
Mutual Funds offer the investors a valuable tool Asset Allocation. This is explainedby an example.An investor investing Rs.1 lakh in a mutual fund scheme, which has collected
Rs.100 crores and invested the money in various investment options, will have
Rs.1 lakh spread over a number of investment options as demonstrated below:
Investment Type Percentage of
Allocation (%
of
total portfolio)
Total portfolio of
the Mutual Fund
scheme (Rs. In
crores)
Investors
portfolio
allocation
(Rs.)
EQUITY: 57% 57 57000
State Bank of India 15% 15 15000
Infosys Technologies 12% 12 12000
ABB 10% 10 10000
Reliance Industries 9% 9 9000
MICO 7% 7 7000
Tata Power 4% 4 4000
DEBT: 43% 43 43000
Govt. Securities 20% 20 20000
Company Debentures 10% 10 10000
Institution Bonds 9% 9 9000
Money Market 4% 4 4000
Total 100% 100 100000
Thus Asset Allocation is allocating your investments in to different investment optionsdepending on your risk profile and return expectations.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
36/69
DIVERSIFICATION
Diversification is spreading your investment amount over a larger number of
investments in order to reduce risk. For instance, if you have Rs.10,000 to invest in
Information Technology (IT) stocks, this amount will only buy you a handful of stocks ofperhaps one or two companies. A fall in the market price of any of these company stocks will
significantly erode your investment amount instead it makes sense to invest in an IT sector
mutual fund scheme so that your Rs.10,000 is spread across a larger number of stocks thereby
reducing your risk.
PROFESSIONALS AT WORK
Few investors have the time or expertise to manage their personal investments every day, to
efficiently reinvest interest or dividend income, or to investigate the thousands of
securities available in the financial markets. Fund managers are professionals andexperienced in tracking the finance markets, having access to extensive research and
market information, which enables them to decide which securities to buy and sell for
the fund. For an individual investor like you, this professionalism is built in when you
invest in the Mutual Fund.
REDUCTION OF TRANSACTION COSTS
While investing directly in securities, all the costs of investing such as brokerage, custodial
services etc. Borne by you are at the highest rates due to small transaction sizes. However,
when going through a fund, you have the benefit of economies of scale; the fund pays lessercosts because of larger volumes, a benefit passed on to its investors like you.
EASY ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
This is one of the most important benefits of a Mutual Fund. Often you hold shares or bonds
that you cannot directly, easily and quickly sell. In such situations, it could take several days
or even longer before you are able to liquidate his Mutual Fund investment by selling the
units to the fund itself and receive his money within 3 working days.
TRANSPARENCYThe investor gets regular information on the value of his investment in addition to disclosure
on the specific investments made by the fund, the proportion invested in each class of assets
and the fund managers investment strategy and outlook.
SAVING TAXES
Tax saving schemes of Mutual Funds offer investor a tax rebate under section 88 of the
Income Tax Act. Under this section, an investor can invest up to Rs.10,000 per Financial year
in a tax saving scheme. The rate of rebate under this section depends on the investors totalincome.

INVESTING IN STOCK MARKET INDEX
Index schemes of mutual funds give you the opportunity of investing in scrips that make up a
particular index in the same proportion of weightage that these scrips have in the index.
Thus, the return on your investment mirrors the movement of the index.
INVESTING IN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES
Gilt and Money Market Schemes of Mutual Funds also give you the opportunity to invest in
Government Securities and Money Markets (including the inter banking call money
market).
WELL-REGULATED INDUSTRY
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.
CONVENIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY
Mutual Funds offer their investors a number of facilities such as inter-fund transfers, online
checking of holding status etc, which direct investments dont offer.

DRAWBACKS OF INVESTING TRHOURGH MUTUAL
FUNDS :-
NO GUARANTEES:No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market declines in value, the value of mutual
fund shares will go down as well, no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors
encounter fewer risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell
stocks on their own. However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of
losing money.
FEES AND COMMISSIONS:All funds charge administrative fees to cover their day-to-day expenses. Some funds alsocharge sales commissions or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or
financial planners. Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you will pay
a sales commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.
TAXES:During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from 20 to 70
percent of the securities in their portfolios. If your fund makes a profit on its sales, you
will pay taxes on the income you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.
MANAGEMENT RISK:When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on the fund's manager to make the right
decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you
had hoped, you might not make as much money on your investment as you expected. Of
course, if you invest in Index Funds, you forego management risk, because these funds do
not employ managers.
In spite of the drawbacks, the advantages win over these drawbacks. We can
clearly see by the growth of the Mutual fund Industry. Some facts can prove the statement
that why are the Mutual fund Industry is growing tremendously.

NEED OF THE STUDY:
The projects idea is to project Mutual Fund as a better avenue for investment on along-term or short-term basis. Mutual Fund is a productive package for a lay-investor with
limited finances, this project creates an awareness that the Mutual Fund is aworthy investment practice. Mutual Fund is a globally proven instrument. Mutual
Funds are Unit Trust as it is called in some parts of the world has a longand successful history, of late Mutual Funds have become a hot favorite of millions of
people all over the world.
The driving force of Mutual Funds is the safety of the principal guaranteed, plus the addedadvantage of capital appreciation together with the income earned in the form of interest or
dividend. The various schemes of Mutual Funds provide the investor with a wide range of
investment options according to his risk bearing capacities and interest besides; they also give
handy return to the investor. Mutual Funds offers an investor to invest even a small amount
of money, each Mutual Fund has a defined investment objective and strategy. Mutual
Funds schemes are managed by respective asset managed companies sponsored by
financial institutions, banks, private companies or international firms. A Mutual Fund is
the ideal investment vehicle for todays complex and modern financial scenario.
The study is basically made to analyze the various open-ended equity schemes of
different Asset Management Companies to highlight the diversity of investment that
Mutual Fund offer. Thus, through the study one would understand how a common man could
fruitfully convert a pittance into great penny by wisely investing into the right schemeaccording to his risk taking abilities.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
1. The study is limited only to the analysis of different schemes and its suitability to different
investors according to their risk-taking ability.
2. The study is based on secondary data available from monthly fact sheets, websites and
other books, as primary data was not accessible.
3. The study is limited by the detailed study of various schemes of Four Asset Management
Company.

OBJECTIVES:
1.To project Mutual Fund as the productive avenue for investing activities.
2. To show the wide range of investment options available in Mutual Funds byexplaining its various schemes.
3.To compare the schemes based on Sharpes ratio, Treynors ratio, Co-efficient,Returns and show which scheme is best for the investor based on his risk profile.
4. To help an investor make a right choice of investment, while considering the inherent
risk factors.
5. To understand the recent trends in Mutual Funds world.
The comparison between these schemes is made based on the followingfactors
A) Sharpes Ratio
B) Treynors Ratio
C) (Beta) co-efficient.
D) Returns
A) The Sharpes Measure :-
In this model, performance of a fund is evaluated on the basis of Sharpe Ratio, which is a
ratio of returns generated by the fund over and above risk free rate of return and the total risk
associated with it. According to Sharpe, it is the total risk of the fund that the investors
are concerned about. So, the model evaluates funds on the basis of reward per unit of
total risk. Symbolically, it can be written as:
Sharpe Index (Si) = (Ri - Rf)/Si
Where,Si is Standard Deviation of the fund.
While a high and positive Sharpe Ratio shows a superior risk-adjusted performance of a fund,
a low and negative Sharpe Ratio is an indication of unfavorable performance.
7/29/2019 Yogesh BBA
43/69
B) The Treynor Measure:-
Developed by Jack Treynor, this performance measure evaluates funds on the basis of
Treynor's Index This Index is a ratio of return generated by the fund over and above risk free
rate oreturn (generally taken to be the return on securities backed by the government, as there
is no credit risk associated), during a given period and systematic risk associated with it
(beta). Symbolically, it can be represented as: Treynor's Index (Ti) = (Ri - Rf)/Bi.
Where,
Ri represents return on fund,
Rf is risk free rate of return,
and Bi is beta of the fund.
All risk-averse investors would like to maximize this value. While a high and positive
Treynor's Index shows a superior risk-adjusted performance of a fund, a low
and negative Treynor's Index is an indication of unfavorable performance.
C) (Beta) Co-efficient:-
Systematic risk is measured in terms of Beta, which represents fluctuations in the NAV of the
fund vis--vis market. The more responsive the NAV of a Mutual Fund is to the changes in
the market; higher will be its beta. Beta is calculated by relating the returns on a Mutual
Fund with the returns in the market. While unsystematic risk can be diversified
through investments in a number of instruments, systematic risk cannot. By using using the
risk return relationship, we try to assess the competitive strength of the Mutual
Funds vis--vis one another in a better way.
(Beta) is calculated as :-

HSBC India opportunities Fund
HSBC India Opportunities Fund is an Open-Ended Equity Scheme.
It is a scheme seeking long term capital growth through investments across all marketcapitalizations, including small, mid and large cap stocks.
The investment is to seek aggressive growth by focussing on mid cap companies in additionto investments in large cap stocks.
The fund aims to be predominantly invested in related equity and equity securities.
Investment objective:
Stocks of companies are usually categorized as large-cap, midcap, and small-cap depending
on their market capitalization. History has demonstrated that these categories tend to perform
differently through economic and market cycles. For example, mid or small cap stocks could
move up sharply during a certain time period while large cap stocks remain range bound and
vice versa. On the other hand, large-cap stocks tend to be less volatile than mid & small-cap
stocks on account of factors such as size, market leadership..etc. Moreover, such periods ofout performance are typically followed by a consolidation phase and a possible reversal of the
situation. In order to derive optimal returns from the stock markets, investments need to be
diversified and have flexibility to shift allocations across market caps.
Designed to help you achieve this with a single investment is Franklin India Flexi Cap Fund
(FIFCF). An open-end diversified equity fund, FIFCF seeks to provide medium to long-term
capital appreciation by investing in stocks across the entire market capitalization range.
