INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUND


Mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. This pool of money is invested in accordance with a stated objective. The joint ownership of the fund is thus Mutual, i.e. the fund belongs to all investors. 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 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. A Mutual Fund is an investment tool that allows small investors access to a well-diversified portfolio of equities, bonds and other securities. Each shareholder participates in the gain or loss of the fund. Units are issued and can be redeemed as needed. The funds Net Asset value (NAV) is determined each day.

The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:

Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.

A mutual fund is just the connecting bridge or a financial intermediary that allows a group of investors to pool their money together with a predetermined investment objective. The mutual fund will have a fund manager who is responsible for investing the gathered money into specific securities (stocks or bonds). When you invest in a mutual fund, you are buying units or portions of the mutual fund and thus on investing becomes a shareholder or unit holder of the fund.

Mutual funds are considered as one of the best available investments as compare to others they are very cost efficient and also easy to invest in, thus by pooling money together in a mutual fund, investors can purchase stocks or bonds with much lower trading costs than if they tried to do it on their own. But the biggest advantage to mutual funds is diversification, by minimizing risk & maximizing returns.

HISTORY OF THE INDIAN 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. 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 a dramatic improvement, both qualities wise as well as quantity wise. Before, the monopoly of the market had seen an ending phase; the Assets Under Management (AUM) was Rs67 billion. The private sector entry to the fund family raised the Aum to Rs. 470 billion in March 1993 and till April 2004; it reached the height if Rs. 1540 billion.

The Mutual Fund Industry is obviously growing at a tremendous space with the mutual fund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to the development of the sector. Each phase is briefly described as under.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

First Phase 1964-87


Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament 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 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 December 1990.At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47,004 crores.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

Third Phase 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)


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 Franklin Templeton) was the first private 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. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores.

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 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. consolidation and growth. As at the end of September, 2004, there were 29 funds, which manage assets of Rs.153108 crores under 421 schemes.

CATEGORIES OF MUTUAL FUND:

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

Mutual funds can be classified as follows:


Based on their structure
1-Open-ended funds: Investors can buy and sell the units from the fund, at any point of time. 2-Close-ended funds: These funds raise money from investors only once. Therefore, after the
offer period, fresh investments can not be made into the fund. If the fund is listed on a stocks exchange the units can be traded like stocks (E.g., Morgan Stanley Growth Fund). Recently, most of the New Fund Offers of close-ended funds provided liquidity window on a periodic basis such as monthly or weekly. Redemption of units can be made during specified intervals. Therefore, such funds have relatively low liquidity.

Based on their investment objective:


1-Equity funds: These funds invest in equities and equity related instruments. With fluctuating
share prices, such funds show volatile performance, even losses. However, short term fluctuations in the market, generally smoothens out in the long term, thereby offering higher returns at relatively lower volatility. At the same time, such funds can yield great capital appreciation as, historically, equities have outperformed all asset classes in the long term. Hence, investment in equity funds should be considered for a period of at least 3-5 years.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

Equity funds can be further classified as:

i) Index funds- In this case a key stock market index, like BSE Sensex or Nifty is tracked. Their
portfolio mirrors the benchmark index both in terms of composition and individual stock weights.

ii) Equity diversified funds- 100% of the capital is invested in equities spreading across
different sectors and stocks.

iii) Dividend yield funds- it is similar to the equity diversified funds except that they invest in
companies offering high dividend yields.

iv)Thematic funds- Invest 100% of the assets in sectors which are related through some theme.
e.g. -An infrastructure fund invests in power, construction, cements sectors etc.

v) Sector funds- Invest 100% of the capital in a specific sector. e.g. - A banking sector fund will
invest in banking stocks.

vi) ELSS- Equity Linked Saving Scheme provides tax benefit to the investors.

2-Balanced fund: Their investment portfolio includes both debt and equity. As a result, on the
risk-return ladder, they fall between equity and debt funds. Balanced funds are the ideal mutual funds vehicle for investors who prefer spreading their risk across various instruments.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

Following are balanced funds classes:


i) Debt-oriented funds -Investment below 65% in equities. ii) Equity-oriented funds -Invest at least 65% in equities, remaining in debt.

3-Debt fund: They invest only in debt instruments, and are a good option for investors averse to
idea of taking risk associated with equities. Therefore, they invest exclusively in fixed-income instruments like bonds, debentures, Government of India securities; and money market instruments such as certificates of deposit (CD), commercial paper (CP) and call money. Put your money into any of these debt funds depending on your investment horizon and needs.

Following are balanced funds classes:

i) Liquid funds- These funds invest 100% in money market instruments, a large portion being
invested in call money market.

ii) Gilt funds ST- They invest 100% of their portfolio in government securities of and T-bills. iii) Floating rate funds - Invest in short-term debt papers. Floaters invest in debt instruments
which have variable coupon rate.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

iv) Arbitrage fund- They generate income through arbitrage opportunities due to mis-pricing
between cash market and derivatives market. Funds are allocated to equities, derivatives and money markets. Higher proportion (around 75%) is put in money markets, in the absence of arbitrage opportunities.

v) Gilt funds LT- They invest 100% of their portfolio in long-term government securities. vi) Income funds LT- Typically, such funds invest a major portion of the portfolio in long-term
debt papers.

vii) MIPs- Monthly Income Plans have an exposure of 70%-90% to debt and an exposure of
10%-30% to equities.

viii) FMPs- fixed monthly plans invest in debt papers whose maturity is in line with that of the
fund.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
1. Systematic Investment Plan: under this a fixed sum is invested each month on a fixed
date of a month. Payment is made through post dated cheques or direct debit facilities. The investor gets fewer units when the NAV is high and more units when the NAV is low. This is called as the benefit of Rupee Cost Averaging (RCA)

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

2. Systematic Transfer Plan: under this an investor invest in debt oriented fund and give
instructions to transfer a fixed sum, at a fixed interval, to an equity scheme of the same mutual fund.

3. Systematic Withdrawal Plan: if someone wishes to withdraw from a mutual fund then he
can withdraw a fixed amount each month.

SCHEMES Equity/Growth Schemes


The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital appreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences. The investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time.

Debt/Income Schemes
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, Government securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term investors may not bother about these fluctuations.

Sector Specific Schemes


These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those sectors or industries as specified in the offer documents. e.g. Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the performance of the respective sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns, they are more risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the performance of those sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time. They may also seek advice of an expert.

FINDINGS

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

FINDINGS FROM THIS FIELD SURVEY


Through this survey it was concluded that the most distributors (IFA) of the Varanasi are dealing in mutual funds more than two years and almost all the distributors are dealing with all the major AMCs of India. As per this survey Reliance mutual fund is the most preferred mutual fund among the distributors (IFA) of the Varanasi.

According to this report distributors consider all the factors like market conditions, NAV of the fund, past year records, etc while suggesting any fund to their customers. As per this survey, it is clear that the scheme performance of the reliance mutual fund is most preferred by most of the distributors rather than the sales person approach, service, etc.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

The responses regarding sales person approach and operational service are not so impressive it shows that the distributors are not very much happy with the sales person approach and other operational services of the RMF. At the same time the distributors are not very much satisfied with the brokerage and additional local and national level schemes for the selling of the fund.

Most of the distributors are satisfied with the services of RMs but at the same time many of the distributors are neutral while answering.

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

SUGGESTIONS

SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SCINCES VARANASI

The Reliance Mutual Fund Varanasi should focus on following points It should provide more additional schemes for distributors. It must improve the operational services like statements, NAV updating on daily basis, photo state machine within the office premises, etc. There should be at the regular interval meeting between the distributors and company members. Increase the training programs of the distributors. Try to facilitate more interaction between senior members of the company to the distributors.
