Chapter -I:
Introduction
Globally, there are thousands of firms offering tens of thousands of mutual funds with different
investment objectives. Today, mutual funds collectively manage almost as much as or more
money as compared to banks.
SEBI defines mutual funds as Mutual funds means a fund established in the form of a
trust by a sponsor to raise money by the Trustee through the sale of units to the public
under one or more schemes for investing in securities in accordance with these
regulations.
3) A trustee institution, which is normally a Bank which holds the stock of securities of
the Mutual fund.
In India the Investment trusts are established under the Companies Act.
There are difference between Mutual funds and investment companies which can be as
follows:
par with industrial companies . No scheme wise capital out of the equity capital. Capital
may be debt capital also and has the advantage of gearing.
In terms of Liquidity: In Mutual funds it is close ended scheme units are traded on
the organized stock exchange . Open ended schemes offer repurchase of facility and
some ended schemes may also offer repurchase or premature encashment. Whereas, in
case of investment companies. The company share is traded on stock exchange. No
repurchase of shares.
In terms of Name of the schemes: Either open ended or close ended with a wide
variety of investment objectives whereas in case investment companies it is neither open
ended or close ended.
Thus we have seen the difference between the mutual funds and the investment
companies. Let us now understand the superiority of mutual funds over the other
investment options.
Mutual funds with the expertise and experienced management cadre can be able to secure
large varieties of high yielding Blue chip securities and show better results to the
investing public. Thus Mutual funds are gaining popularity due to the following reasons:
The basic purpose of reforms in financial sector was to enhance the generation of
domestic resources by reducing dependence on outside funds. This calls for a market
based institution. . Mutual funds are best suited for this purpose.
Ordinarily investor in the market is not sure of getting share in the normal procedure.
Investing in MF by MF companies get firm allotment. And later selling at a higher price.
So investing in MF yields higher returns to the investors.
Better knowledge of market behavior maximise gains by proper selection and timing of
investments.
Dividends and capital gains are reinvested automatically in MF and are not frittered
away.
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 December
1990.
Chapter - II:
Literature Review
The working of Mutual Funds can be briefly stated in the form of the points below:
A draft offer document is prepared at the time of launching the fund. Typically, it pre
specifies the investment objectives of the fund, the risk associated, the costs involved in
the process and the broad rules for entry into and exit from the fund and other areas of
operation. In India, as in most countries, these sponsors need approval from a regulator,
SEBI (Securities exchange Board of India) in our case. SEBI looks at track records of the
sponsor and its financial strength in granting approval to the fund for commencing
operations.
A sponsor then hires an asset management company to invest the funds according to the
investment objective.
It also hires another entity to be the custodian of the assets of the fund and perhaps a third
one to handle registry work for the unit holders (subscribers) of the fund.
In the Indian context, the sponsors promote the Asset Management Company also, in which it
holds a majority stake. In many cases a sponsor can hold a 100% stake in the Asset
Management Company (AMC). E.g. Birla Global Finance is the sponsor of the Birla Sun Life
Asset Management Company Ltd., which has floated different mutual funds schemes and also
acts as an asset manager for the funds collected under the schemes.
Closed-ended Funds
A closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging from 3 to 15 years.
The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors can invest in the
scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the
scheme on the stock exchanges where they are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the
investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the Mutual Fund
through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of
the two exit routes is provided to the investor.
Interval Funds
Interval funds combine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes. They are open for
sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.
Growth Funds
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term. Such
schemes normally invest a majority of their corpus in equities. It has been proven that returns
from stocks, have outperformed most other kind of investments held over the long term. Growth
schemes are ideal for investors having a long-term outlook seeking growth over a period of time.
Income Funds
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes
generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures and Government
securities. Income Funds are ideal for capital stability and regular income.
Balanced Funds
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such schemes
periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equities and fixed income
securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. In a rising stock market, the NAV
of these schemes may not normally keep pace, or fall equally when the market falls. These are
ideal for investors looking for a combination of income and moderate growth.
Load Funds
A Load Fund is one that charges a commission for entry or exit. That is, each time you buy or
sell units in the fund, a commission will be payable. Typically entry and exit loads range from
1% to 2%. It could be worth paying the load, if the fund has a good performance history.
No-Load Funds
A No-Load Fund is one that does not charge a commission for entry or exit. That is, no
commission is payable on purchase or sale of units in the fund. The advantage of a no load fund
is that the entire corpus is put to work.
Index Schemes
Index Funds attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index such as the BSE Sensex or
the NSE 50
Sectoral Schemes
Sectoral Funds are those, which invest exclusively in a specified industry or a group of industries
or various segments such as 'A' Group shares or initial public offerings.
Freedom from tracking investments Investors do not have to track their investments
regularly, as experts who buy and sell securities for them do the tracking. Investors are only
required to track the performance of the mutual fund.
Economies of Scale
Because a mutual fund buys and sells large amounts of securities at a time, its transaction costs
are lower than you as an individual would pay.
Liquidity
Just like an individual stock, a mutual fund allows you to request that your shares be converted
into cash at any time.
Simplicity
Buying a mutual fund is easy! Pretty well any bank has its own line of mutual funds, and the
minimum investment is small. Most companies also have automatic purchase plans whereby as
little as $100 can be invested on a monthly basis.
Professional management
Professionals run mutual funds, with experience in portfolio management. Analysts employed
by mutual funds analyze data and information available in a manner that cannot be matched by
the lay investor.
Tax benefits
Income tax benefits are granted to investors in mutual funds, making it more tax efficient as
compared to other comparable investment avenues.
Costs - Mutual funds don't exist solely to make your life easier--all funds are in it for a profit.
The mutual fund industry is masterful at burying costs under layers of jargon. These costs are so
complicated that in this tutorial we have devoted an entire section to the subject.
Dilution - It's possible to have too much diversification. Because funds have smallholdings in
so many different companies, high returns 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.
Taxes - When making decisions about your money, fund managers don't consider your 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.
No tailor-made Portfolio: Investors who invest on their own can build teir own portfolios
shares, bonds and other securities. Investing through funds means he delegates this decision to
the fund mangers. High-net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this to be a
constraint in achieving their objectives. However, most mutual funds help investors overcome
this constraint by offering families of schemes-a large number of different schemes within the
same fund. In each scheme there are various plans and options. An investor can choose from
different investment schemes/plan/options and construct an investment portfolio that meets his
investment objectives.
TYPES OF RISKS
Consider these common types of risk and evaluate them against potential rewards when you
select an investment.
Managing Risk
At times the prices or yields of all the securities in a particular market rise or fall due to broad
outside influences. When this happens, the stock prices of both an outstanding, highly profitable
company and a fledgling corporation may be affected. This change in price is due to "market
risk".
Inflation Risk
Sometimes referred to as "loss of purchasing power." Whenever inflation sprints forward faster
than the earnings on your investment, you run the risk that you'll actually be able to buy less, not
more. Inflation risk also occurs when prices rise faster than your returns. Changing interest rates
affect both equities and bonds in many ways. Investors are reminded that "predicting" which way
rates will go is rarely successful. A diversified portfolio can help in offsetting these changes.
Credit Risk
In short, how stable is the company or entity to which you lend your money when you invest?
How certain are you that it will be able to pay the interest you are promised, or repay your
principal when the investment matures?
Exchange Risk
A number of companies generate revenues in foreign currencies and may have investments or
expenses also denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates may, therefore, have
a positive or negative impact on companies which in turn would have an effect on the investment
of the fund.
Inbvestment Risk
The sectoral fund schemes, investments will be predominantly in equities of select companies in
the particular sectors. Accordingly, the NAV of the schemes are linked to the equity performance
of such companies and may be more volatile than a more diversified portfolio of equities.

Chapter-III:
Research Design &
Methodology
Research Methodology
This project started by meetings different people in order to get information about the
mutual funds. Then I thoroughly examined the various activities of mutual funds.
Then I visited various websites of the mutual fund to know the recent and upcoming
trends of mutual funds.
I went forward collecting the data of Mutual Funds through different web sites.
I have keep a track on the return given by different mutual fund and also calculated
the Sensex return of last two years i.e from January 2010 December 2011 .
I have used different ratios to analyse mutual fund like: Sharpe Ratio
Beta Value
Alpha Value
Tracking Error
Treynor Ratio
Flow Chart
Analyse different Mutual funds by using different methods egBeta ,Alpha value etc.
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe ratio tells us whether a portfolio's returns are due to smart investment decisions or a
result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one portfolio or fund can
reap higher returns than its peers, it is only a good investment if those higher returns do not come
with too much additional risk. The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted
performance has been. A negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-less asset would perform
better than the security being analyzed.
Beta Ralue
Beta is calculated using regression analysis, and you can think of beta as the tendency of a
security's returns to respond to swings in the market. A beta of 1 indicates that the security's price
will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than
the market. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security's price will be more volatile than
the market. For example, if a stock's beta is 1.2, it's theoretically 20% more volatile than the
market.
Many utilities stocks have a beta of less than 1. Conversely, most high-tech Nasdaq-based stocks
have a beta of greater than 1, offering the possibility of a higher rate of return, but also
posing more risk.
Treynor Ratio
the Treynor ratio is a risk-adjusted measure of return based on systematic risk. It is similar
to the Sharpe ratio, with the difference being that the Treynor ratio uses beta as the
measurement of volatility.
Also known as the "reward-to-volatility ratio"
Tracking Error
Tracking errors are reported as a "standard deviation percentage" difference. This measure
reports the difference between the return an investor receives and that of the benchmark he or she
was attempting to imitate.
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that sheds light on historical volatility. For
example, a volatile stock will have a high standard deviation while the deviation of a stable blue
chip stock will be lower. A large dispersion tells us how much the return on the fund is deviating
from the expected normal returns.
Alpha Value
Alpha of any financial security indicates the minimum level of return which an investor can
expect from that security.
The income looking investor can invest in the stocks with high alpha values.
