History of stock brokering industry:


The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that have been around even before the establishment of the BSE in 1875. Despite passing through a number of changes in the post liberalization period, the industry has found its way towards sustainable growth.

Origin:
The origin of Mutual Fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept of mutual fund by UTI in the year 1963. Though initially 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 Rs. 67bn. 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 of 1,540 billion. Putting the AUM of the Indian Mutual Funds Industry into comparison, the total of it is less than the deposits of SBI alone, constitutes 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 in the country. Large sections of Indian investors are yet to think intellectually with regard to the concept. Hence, it is the prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to market the product. 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.

History of the Mutual Funds:


First Phase 1964-87 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 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) Entry of non-UTI mutual funds. SBI Mutual Fund was the first 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 in 1989 and GIC in 1990. The end of 1993 marked Rs.47,004 as assets under management. Third Phase 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds): The Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993. 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 crores. Fourth Phase Since February 2003: This phase had bitter experience for UTI. It was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the 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 Unit Trust Of India Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by State Bank Of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Life Insurance Corporation. It is registered with SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India) and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76, 000 crores of AUM and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with 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 crores under 421 schemes.

MUTUALFUND SCENARIO

INDUSTRY

GLOBAL

AND

NATIONAL

Mutual funds are the faster growing segment of the financial service sector in India. During the last year, the assets managed by the industry have grown 55% to Rs.3, 26,388 crores. There is little awareness about Mutual Fund India. People have accepted it as a one of the major investment avenue. Once people know about the benefits offered by it, Mutual Fund will become one of the most sought after Investment Avenue.

The money market mutual fund segment has a total corpus of $ 1.48 trillion in the U.S. against a corpus of $ 100 million in India. Out of the top 10 mutual funds worldwide, eight are bank- sponsored. Only Fidelity and Capital are non-bank mutual funds in this group. In the U.S. the total number of schemes is higher than that of the listed companies while in India we have just 277 schemes Internationally, mutual funds are allowed to go short. In India fund managers do not have such leeway. In the U.S. about 9.7 million households will manage their assets on-line by the year 2003, such a facility is not yet of avail in India. On- line trading is a great idea to reduce management expenses from the current 2 % of total assets to about 0.75 % of the total assets.

Regulatory Framework: With the increase in Mutual Fund players in India, a need for Mutual Fund Association in India was generated to function as a non-profit organization. In this regard Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) was incorporated on 22nd August 1995. AMFI is an apex body of all Asset Management Companies (AMC) which has been registered with Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Till date all

Distribution channels in the mutual fund industry:


In India, AMCs work with five distinct distribution channels those are direct, banking, retail, corporate and individual financial adviser. The Direct Channels: In the direct channel, customers invest in the schemes directly through AMC. In most cases, the company does not provide any investment advice, so these investors have to carry out their own research and select schemes themselves. In this channel most investors can invest through websites, or receive information through telephonic services provided by the company. About 10-20% of the total sales of an AMC come through this direct channel.
The banking channel: The large customer base of banks, in developed

countries, has played an important role in the selling MFs. The banking channel is likely to develop as the most vital distribution channel for fund companies.
The corporate channel: The corporate channel includes a variety of

institutions that invest in shares on the companys name. These are businesses, trusts, and even state and local Governments. Corporate can either invest directly in mutual funds, or through an intermediary such as a distribution house or a bank. About 25 to 50% contribution comes through the corporate channel.
Individual Financial Advisors (IFA) or Agents: The IFA channel is the

oldest channel for distribution and was widely employed at the time when UTI monopoly existed in the market. An agent is one who basically acts as an interface between the customer and the fund house. IFA comprised 57 percent of the total Asset Under Management.

3. McKINSEYS 7S FRAME WORK


The McKinsey 7S model was named after a consulting company, McKinsey and Company, which has conducted applied research in business and industry (Pascale & Athos, 1981; Peters & Waterman, 1982). All of the authors worked as consultants at McKinsey and Company; in the 1980s, they used the model to analyze over 70 large organizations. The McKinsey 7S Framework was created as a recognizable and easily remembered model in business. The seven variables, which the authors term "levers", all begin with the letter "S": The McKinsey 7S model involves seven interdependent factors which are categorized as either "hard" or "soft" elements: "Hard" elements are easier to define or identify and management can directly influence them: These are strategy statements; organization charts and reporting lines; and formal processes and IT systems. "Soft" elements, on the other hand, can be more difficult to describe, and are less tangible and more influenced by culture. However, these soft elements are as important as the hard elements if the organization is going to be successful.

5. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT


Financial statement analysis is defined as the process of identifying financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. There are various methods or techniques that are used in analyzing financial statements, such as comparative statements, schedule of changes in working capital, common size percentages, funds analysis, trend analysis, and ratios analysis. Financial statements are prepared to meet external reporting obligations and also for decision making purposes. They play a dominant role in setting the framework of managerial decisions. But the information provided in the financial statements is not an end in itself as no meaningful conclusions can be drawn from these statements alone. However, the information provided in the financial statements is of immense use in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of financial statements. There are various advantages of financial statements analysis. The major benefit is that the investors get enough idea to decide about the investments of their funds in the specific company. Secondly, regulatory authorities like International Accounting Standards Board can ensure whether the company is following accounting standards or not. Thirdly, financial statements analysis can help the

government agencies to analyze the taxation due to the company. Moreover, company can analyze its own performance over the period of time through financial statements analysis.

Interpretation of the ratios: Return on total assets signifies how effectively company is able to utilize

its asset to generate profit. In the year 2009-2010 company has generated a profit of 26.41% from its total assets which shows that company is making optimum utilization of its assets.

ROCE shows the profitability on assets employed within the businesses

that are financed from long term sources. A higher ratio indicates better profitability on assets engaged within the business. For the year 2009-2010 company has generated a return of 32.64% more than its capital employed with in its business. This shows that the capital is utilized in right way in the organization for generation of revenue.

Net worth ratio, It is assumed that larger the proportion of the

shareholders equity the stronger is the financial position of the firm. In the ration the relationship is established between the shareholders funds and the total assets. A reduction in shareholders equity signalling the over dependence on outside sources for long-term financial needs and this carries the risk of higher levels of gearing. This ratio indicates the degree to which unsecured creditors are protected against loss in the event of liquidation. In the year 2009-2010 company
College Page 32

Comparative analysis of SBI ELSS with similar schemes


has 80.91% of funds raised from equity share holders and remaining from outside creditors. In this creditors are secured for the amount invested in the company because they will get the preference in the event of liquidation for repayment of amount.

EPS of the company for the year 2009-2010 is Rs 151.74 per share which

is a sign for good management of the company.

6. LEARNING EXPERIENCE
This project undertaken in SBIMF gave me a complete insight into the

corporate culture.
The first thing I observed on the very first day that the customers needs

were given first priority.


Customers were being attended to as soon as possible and it was

carefully seen to that the customers leave the office premises satisfied.
I also observed that the people involved with regard to investment would

always highlight out plans in bringing good returns to the customers and making them feel safe.

Through this project I got know the organisations vision and mission, the values they believe in etc.

I also observed that there is immense respect for each other in the

organisation. There is no differentiation among them as employeemanager-assistant etc but instead they were treating one another equally with respect.

This project gave me an opportunity to practically put into use the

theoretical concepts learnt. The study also helped me to have an insight about the customer preferences the returns they expect and the amount of risk that is advised to take etc. On the whole it was an experience that gave me an opportunity to learn many things which I was unaware of and also to practically implement those which I was aware of.

1GENERAL INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION OF MUTUAL FUNDS A mutual fund is set up in the form of a trust, which has sponsor, trustees, asset Management Company (AMC) and custodian. The trust is established by a sponsor or more than one sponsor who is like promoter of a company. The trustees of the mutual fund hold its property for the benefit of the unit holders. Asset Management Company (AMC) approved by SEBI manages the funds by making investments in various types of securities. Custodian, who is registered with SEBI, holds the securities of various schemes of the fund in its custody. The trustees are vested with the general power of superintendence and direction over AMC. They monitor the performance and compliance of SEBI Regulations by the mutual fund.

CONCEPT OF MUTUAL FUNDS

MUTUAL FUNDS OPERATION FLOW CHART:

Some of the traditional, distinguishing characteristics of mutual funds include the following: Investors purchase mutual fund shares from the fund itself (or through a broker for the fund) instead of from other investors on a secondary market, such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ Stock Market.

College

Page 35

Comparative analysis of SBI ELSS with similar schemes


The price that investors pay for mutual fund shares is the fund's per share net asset value (NAV) plus any shareholder fees that the fund imposes at the time of purchase (such as sales loads). Mutual fund shares are "redeemable," meaning investors can sell their shares back to the fund (or to a broker acting for the fund). Mutual funds generally create and sell new shares to accommodate new investors. In other words, they sell their shares on a continuous basis, although some funds stop selling when, for example, they become too large. The investment portfolios of mutual funds typically are managed by separate entities known as "investment advisers" that are registered with the SEC. ORGANIZATION OF A MUTUAL FUND:

Sponsor: The sponsor may be a bank, a financial institution, or a financial services company. It may be Indian or foreign. The sponsor had to obtain a license from SEBI for which it has to satisfy several conditions relating to capital, profits, track record, default free dealings, and so on. The sponsor is responsible for setting up and establishing the mutual fund. The sponsor is the settler of the mutual fund trust. The sponsor delegates the trustees function to the trustees. Sponsor must contribute at least 40% of the net worth of investment managed.
College Page 36

Mutual fund: The mutual fund is constituted as a trust under the Indian Trust Act, 1881, and registered with SBEBI. The beneficiaries of the trust are the investors who invest in various schemes of the mutual fund. The trust deed is registered under the Indian Registration Act, 1908. Trustees: A trust is a notional entity that cannot contract in its own name. So the trust enters into contracts in the name of the trustees. Appointed by the sponsor, the trustees can be either individuals or a corporate body (a trustee company). The main responsibility of the Trustees is to safeguard the interest of unit holders and inter alia ensure that the Asset Management Company functions in the interest of investors and in accordance with the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, the provisions of the Trust Deed and the offer Documents of the respective Schemes. Asset Management Company: The AMC, also referred to as the Investment Manager, is a separate company appointed by the trustees to run the mutual fund. The AMC should have a certificate from SEBI to act as a Portfolio Manager under SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Rules and Regulations, 1993. The AMC handles all operations matters such as designing the schemes, launching the schemes, managing investments, and interacting with investors. Custodian: The custodian handles the investment back office operations of mutual fund. Inter alia, it looks after the receipt and delivery of securities, collection of income, distribution of dividends, and segregation of assets between schemes. Registrars and Transfer Agents: The registrars and transfer agents handle investor relates services such as issuing units, redeeming units, sending fact sheets and annual reports, and so on. Some funds handle such functions inCollege Page 37

house, while others outsource it to SEBI approved registrars and transfer agents. SECURITY EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI) SEBI is a board (autonomous body) created by Government of India in 1988 and given statutory form in 1922 with the SEBI acts 1992 with its head office at Mumbai. The SEBI is perhaps the most important regulatory body similar to the securities exchange commission in US, it is the authority that has to always be on its toes. When investors have complaints against the listed companies or registered intermediaries, SEBI act as the nodal agency for addressing these complaints, if they are not solved directly between the parties concerned, or if the investor is not happy with the response. Collective investment schemes like plantation companies investors can send complaints to SEBI regarding non-receipt of invested principal and returns there from. Mutual funds/venture capital investors/portfolio managers/custodian complaints mutual funds like non-receipt or delay in receipt of dividend/redemptions, non availability of portfolio disclosures, non-receipt of transaction statement etc., Brokers this is the most common area of complaints for the average investor. Complaint against brokers stem from disputes ever brokerage rates, non-receipt of purchased Share or pay for sold shares, auction of shares sold etc., Derivative trading many investors sign legal papers empowering the broker on trade on their behalf without proper knowledge and wake up on seeing their margin money eluded due to sustained losses. In other areas such as corporate governance, corporate restructuring, acquisitions, buyback, other and compliance related issues for which one could approach, SEBI for this entire one can; File complaints electronically on the SEBI website

Get a compliant registration number Track the states of complaint There is a wide range of issues that come under the jurisdiction of SEBI. And the onus is entirely on it to keep the stock markets healthy. Operational definitions of the concepts: Net Asset Value(NAV):-The Net Asset Value (NAV) is the market value of the funds underlying securities. It is calculated at the end of the trading day. Any open-end funds buy or sell order received on that day is traded bases on the net asset value calculated at the end of the day. The NAV per unit is such NAV divided by the number of outstanding units. Entry/Exit Load:-A Load is a charge, which the mutual fund may collect on entry and/or exit from a fund. A load is levied to cover the up-front cost incurred by the mutual fund for selling the fund. It also covers one time processing costs.Some funds do not charge any entry or exit load. These funds are referred to as No Load Fund. Funds usually charge an entry load ranging between 1.00% and 2.00%. Exit loads vary between 0.25% and 2.00% Sale Price:- Is the price you pay when you invest in a scheme/NAV a unit holder is charged while investing in a open ended scheme is sale price. It is also called Offer Price. It may include a sales load. Repurchase Price:- Is the price at which a close-ended scheme repurchases its units and it may include a back-end load. This is also called Bid Price. Redemption Price:- Is the price at which open-ended schemes repurchase their units and close-ended schemes redeem their units on maturity. Such prices are NAV related.

College

Sales Load:- Is a charge collected by a scheme when it sells the units. It is also called, Front-end load. A load is one that charges a percentage of NAV for entry or exit. That is, each time one buys or sells units in the fund, a charge will be payable. This charge is used by the mutual fund for marketing and distribution expenses. Repurchase or Back-end Load:- Is a charge collected by a scheme when it buys back the units from the unit holders. No load:-No load schemes that do not charge a load are called No load. A noload fund is one that does not charge for entry or exist. It means the investors can enter the fund/schemes at NAV and no additional charges are payable on purchase or sale of units. RISK AND RETURN TRADE OFF 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.

(A) By Structure
Open-ended funds: Investors can buy and sell the units from the

fund, at any point of time. Investor buys into the scheme and redeems from the fund house directly. The corpus changes everyday. The scheme calculates its NAV on a daily basis.
Close-ended funds: These funds raise money from investors only

once. Therefore, after the offer period, fresh investments cannot be made into the fund. If the fund is listed on a stock exchange the units can be traded like stocks (E.g., Morgan Stanley Growth Fund. Redemption of units can be made during specified intervals. Therefore, such funds have relatively low liquidity.

Interval Scheme; These 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 predetermined intervals at NAV related prices.

(B) By Investment Objective

Growth schemes; Aim to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long term. These schemes normally invest a majority of their funds in equities and are willing to bear short-term decline in value for possible future appreciation. This type of scheme is ideal for investors in

College

their prime earning years and investors seeking growth over the longterm.

Income Schemes; Aim to provide regular and steady income to investors. These schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds and corporate debentures. Capital appreciation in such schemes may be limited. This type of scheme is ideal for retired people and others with a need for capital stability and regular income.

Balanced Schemes: Aim to provide both growth and income by periodically distributing a part of the income and capital gains they earn. They invest in both shares 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.

Money Market Schemes ; Aims to provide easy liquidity, preservation

of capital and moderate income. These schemes generally invest in safer, short-term instruments, such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money. Returns on these schemes may fluctuate, depending upon the interest rates prevailing in the market. Ideal for corporate and individual investors as a means to park their surplus funds for short periods. (C) By other Schemes ;

debt related instruments to generate regulated income flow. MERITS OF MUTUAL FUND 1. Portfolio Diversification: Mutual Funds invest in a well-diversified portfolio of securities which enables investor to hold a diversified investment portfolio (whether the amount of investment is big or small). 2. Professional Management: Fund manager undergoes through various research works and has better investment management skills which ensure higher returns to the investor than what he can manage on his own. 3. Less Risk: Investors acquire a diversified portfolio of securities even with a small investment in a Mutual Fund. The risk in a diversified portfolio is lesser than investing in merely 2 or 3 securities. 4. Low Transaction Costs: Due to the economies of scale (benefits of larger volumes), mutual funds pay lesser transaction costs. These benefits are passed on to the investors. 5. Liquidity: An investor may not be able to sell some of the shares held by him very easily and quickly, whereas units of a mutual fund are far more liquid.

6. Choice of Schemes: Mutual funds provide investors with various schemes with different investment objectives. Investors have the option of investing in a scheme having a correlation between its investment objectives and their own financial goals. These schemes further have different plans/options 7. Transparency: The transparency levels are very high in this industry. Funds provide investors with updated information pertaining to the markets and the schemes. All material facts are disclosed to investors as required by the regulator. Investors can view his fund's NAV on a daily basis. Also, majority of the funds disclose their portfolio holdings on a monthly basis. 8. Flexibility: Investors also benefit from the convenience and flexibility offered by Mutual Funds. Investors can switch their holdings from a debt scheme to an equity scheme and vice-versa. Option of systematic (at regular intervals) investment and withdrawal is also offered to the investors in most open-end schemes. 9. Safety: Mutual Fund industry is part of a well-regulated investment environment where the interests of the investors are protected by the regulator. All funds are registered with SEBI and complete transparency is forced. 10. Innovative schemes to suit unique needs of different investors: There are schemes that offer international diversification to reduce the geographical risk. There are derivative funds which adopt various derivative strategies to gain from the either side movement of the market. Capital protection funds offer a unique feature of capital protection coupled with market linked returns. 11. Tax-saving: Mutual funds are exempted from capital gains arising out of portfolio churning. If an investor shifts his holdings, he will have to pay these taxes. Thus, mutual funds are a cost-efficient way of portfolio management.

DEMERITS OF MUTUAL FUNDS
1. 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. However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of losing money.
2. Fees and commissions: All funds charge administrative fees to cover their

day-today expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial planners.
3. Management risk: When the investor invests in a mutual fund, he/she

depends on the fund's manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as the investor had hoped, then the investor might not make as much money as envisaged.
4. Difficulty in Selecting a Suitable Fund Scheme: Many investors find it

difficult to select one option from the plethora of funds/schemes/plans available. For this, they may have to take advice from financial planners in order to invest in the right fund to achieve their objectives
5. Dilution: Because funds have small holdings across 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. Key players Mutual Funds Companies - Some of the Mutual Funds Companies are: Reliance Mutual fund HDFC Mutual Fund ABN AMRO Mutual Fund

Advantages of ELSS over NSC and PPF 1. Main advantage of ELSS is its short lock-in period. Maturity period of NSC is 6 years and PPF is 15 years. 2. Since it is an equity linked scheme earning potential is very high. 3. Investor can opt for dividend option and get some gains during the lock-in period 4. Investor can opt for Systematic Investment Plan 5. Some ELSS schemes also offer personal accident death cover insurance 6. Provides 30 to 40% returns compared to 8% in NSC and PPF Disadvantages of ELSS 1. Risk factor is high compared to NSC and PPF 2. Premature withdrawal is not allowed but it is allowed in other instruments in some specific conditions. Diversified Equity Schemes and ELSS Both Equity linked saving scheme and diversified equity scheme operates in same way. Both are high return and high risk schemes. But there is a 3 year lock in period of ELSS and it provides tax benefits too. Systematic Investment Plan Best way to invest in ELSS is through Systematic Investment Plan(SIP). With SIP you can invest a small amount every month for a specific time period. With SIP investor can take advantage of fluctuations in the stock market. So investor will get more units when the market is down and get less units when the market is up. For eg if you are investing Rs 1000 every month and you will get 100 units for when Net Asset Value (NAV) is 10 and will get 50 units when NAV is 20. So investing a fixed sum regularly helps to cover the market fluctuations by rupee costs averaging. Also most of the Asset Management Companies (AMC) charges less entry load for SIP compared to normal purchase.

INTERPRETATION: From the above analysis we can infer that ICICI prudential tax plan is earning more returns. This is because it has invested its highest amount of investment of 4.9% in cadila healthcare and 4.81 in Bharati airtel. With regard to the sector holdings ICICI has invested 9% of its holdings in health care and 5% in textiles sector where as UTI has not invested in these 2 sectors. Hence ICICI by investing these sectors have yielded superior return.

Risk and return analysis

The funds risks have been calculated using the following formulas:Standard deviation
If only return is given = ( Ri R )2 n1 , where R is the fund returns And R is the average returns of the fund.

Beta = n xy ( x) ( y) n x2 ( x)2
,

where X is the independent variable i.e. market returns

and Y is the dependent variable i.e. the fund returns.

Sharpes S= Ri Rf
Where, Ri is the independent returns and Rf is the Risk Free rate of return and is the total risk of that fund.

term return category through their investments in financial and pharmaceuticals sectors.

return category through their investment software and financial sector.

him to invest in SBI MAGNUM TAX GAIN. This is because SBI MAGNUM TAX GAIN is the fund fetching highest returns in the long run i.e. in the 5 year return category.

either the risk or return criteria. This is because it has neither fetched the highest returns in any of the return category nor has it been the fund with least risk. UTI has always fetched least returns with high risk.
