Industry Structure
Foreign MFs
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.

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

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.

Rating of Mutual fund schemes in mutual fund industry: Mutual fund schemes are periodically evaluated by independent institutions. CRISIL, Value Research India, and Economic Times are three such institutions whose rankings or evaluations are currently very popular. CRISIL Credit Rating and Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL) carries out Composite Performance Rankings that cover all open-ended schemes that disclose their entire portfolio composition and have NAV information for at least two years. It currently ranks schemes in five categories. Equity Schemes, Debt Schemes, Gilt Schemes, Balanced Schemes, and Liquid Schemes. Its ranking is based on four criterions, risk-adjusted return of the schemes NAV, diversification of the portfolio, liquidity, and asset size. The weights assigned to these Criteria vary from category to category, within each category; the top 10 percent are considered very well, the next 20 percent good, the next 40 percent average, the next 20 percent below average, and the last 10 percent poor. Value research India rates schemes in different categories. Each scheme is assigned a risk grade and a return grade and a composite measure of performance is calculated by subtracting the risk grade from the return grade. Within each category, the top 10 percent are considered five star, the next 22.5 percent four star, the next 35 percent three star, the next 22, 5 percent two star, and the last 10 percent one star.

Some facts for the growth of mutual fund industry in India: 100% growth in the last 6 years. Numbers of foreign AMCs are queuing up to enter the Indian markets like Fidelity Investments, US based, with over US$1trillion assets under management worldwide. Our saving rate is over 23%, highest in the world. Only channeling these savings in mutual funds sector is required. We have approximately 29 mutual funds which are much less than US having more than 800. There is a big scope for expansion. B' and 'C' class cities are growing rapidly. Today most of the mutual funds are concentrating on the 'A' class cities. Soon they will find scope in the growing cities. Mutual fund can penetrate rural like the Indian insurance industry with simple and limited products. SEBI allowing the MF's to launch commodity mutual funds. Emphasis on better corporate governance. Trying to curb the late trading practices. 72% of the core customer bases of mutual funds in the top 50-broking firms in the U.S are expected to trade on-line by 2003.

A. Background of State Bank of India
The History of State Bank of India dates back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the setting up of Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. After three years it was renamed as Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809).On 15th April 1840, the Bank of Bombay was initiated and on 1st July 1843, the Bank of Madras was established. The integration of the three banks resulted in the creation of Imperial Bank of India on 27th January 1921. The Presidency banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras with their 70 branches merged in 27 January 1921 the imperial bank of India. The new bank took on the triple role of a commercial bank, a bankers bank and a banker to government. But the creation was preceded by years of deliberation on the need for State Bank of India. Imperial Bank was halfway house combining the functioning of a Commercial Banks and a Quasi Central Bank. State Bank of India holds not less than 55% of the issued capital of each subsidiary bank,

1. Equity Scheme The investments of these schemes will predominantly be in the stock markets and endeavor will be to provide investors the opportunity to benefit from the higher returns which stock markets can provide. However they are also exposed to the volatility and attendant risks of stock markets and hence should be chosen only by such investors who have high risk taking capacities and are willing to think long term. Equity Funds include diversified Equity Funds, Sectoral Funds and Index Funds.

2. Balanced Scheme Magnum Balanced Fund invests in a mix of equity and debt investments. Hence they are less risky than equity funds, but at the same time provide commensurately lower returns. They provide a good investment

3. Debt Scheme Debt Funds invest only in debt instruments such as Corporate Bonds, Government Securities and Money Market instruments either by completely avoiding any investments in the stock markets in Income Funds or Gilt Funds or having a small exposure to equities as in Monthly Income Plans or Children's Plan. Hence they are safer than equity funds. At the same time the expected returns from debt funds would be lower. Such investments are advisable for the risk-averse investor and as a part of the investment portfolio for other investors.

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
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.

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.
College
Page 34
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
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.

(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.
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
Page 41
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.
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 ;
Tax Saving Scheme; These scheme offer tax rebates to the investor
under specific provisions of the Indian income tax laws or the government offer tax incentives for investment in specified avenues. Investment made in ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Scheme). The act also provides opportunities to investors to capital gain.

Special Schemes; Sector Schemes; Sector funds are those which investors
exclusively in a specified industry group of investors or a group of industries (or) various segments such as A group share and Initial Public Offerings.
2.
Index Scheme; Index funds attempt to replicate the performance Bond Scheme; It seek investment in bonds, debenture and
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.

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
College Page 45
1. Growth: Investor does not get any income during the tenure of the investment. He will get a lump sum amount at the time of redemption or on maturity. 2. Dividend: Investor gets a dividend from the fund house. He has two options:
He can cash on the dividends. He can opt for dividend re-investment option.

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.
