 OPEN ENDED FUNDS
 An open-ended fund or scheme is one
that is available for subscription and
repurchase on a continuous basis. These
schemes do not have a fixed maturity
period. Investors can conveniently buy
and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV)
related prices which are declared on a
daily basis. The key feature of open-end
schemes is liquidity.
09/04/08 16
 Close ended
 A type of unit trust that offers only a fixed
amount of shares, usually sold through a
brokerage firm by a broker. Most unit
trusts are not closed-end funds, they offer
unlimited shares and may be purchased
and redeemed directly by the individual
through the mail by check.

09/04/08 17
 KEY TERM
 The NAV per unit is the market value of
securities of a scheme divided by the total
number of units of the scheme on any particular
date. For example, if the market value of
securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs 200
lakhs and the mutual fund has issued 10 lakhs
units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the
NAV per unit of the fund is Rs.20. NAV is
required to be disclosed by the mutual funds on
a regular basis - daily or weekly - depending on
the type of scheme.

cross tabulation of variables annual income and purpose of investments
the following was observed:
Chi square calculated = 9.9093
Degree of freedom =8
Chi square0.05 = 15.507 (here we take 5% level
of significance by
default)
As Chi square cal < Chi square0.05
Or
Z calculated = 0.579
Z table valve = 1.96
As Zcal <Z table valve
0.579<1.96
Therefore, H0 is accepted
That means that purpose of investment
always depends upon income of individual.
