INTRODUCTION
To state in simple words, a mutual fund collects the savings
from small investors, invest them in Government and other
corporate securities and earn income through interest and
dividends, besides capital gain. It works on the principle of”
small drop of water makes a big ocean’.
.
DEFINITION
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual
Funds) Regulation, 1993 defines a mutual fund “a
fund established in the form of a trust by a sponsor,
to raise monies by the trustees through the sale of
units to the, public, under one or more schemes, for
investing in securities in accordance with these
regulations”
According to Weston J. Fred and Brigham, Eugene, F,

Unit trusts are “corporations which accept dollars
from savers and then use these dollars to buy stock,
long term bonds, short term debt instruments issued
by business or government units; these corporations
pool funds and thus reduce risk by diversification”.
Why Select Mutual Funds ?
The risk return trade-off indicates that if investor is
willing to take higher risk then correspondingly he can expect
higher returns and vice-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 10
invest in capital protected funds and the profit-bonds that gives
us more return which is slightly higher as compared to the
bank deposits but the risk involved also increases in the same
proportion.
Thus investors choose mutual funds as their primary

means of investing, as Mutual funds provide professional
management, diversification, convenience and liquidity.
That doesn't mean mutual fund investments risk free.
This is because the money that is pooled in are not

invested only in debts funds which are less riskier but are also
invested in the stock markets which involves a higher risk but
can expect higher returns. Hedge fund involves a very high risk
since it is mostly traded in the derivatives market which is
considered very volatile.
HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all

through the year. These do not have a fixed maturity. Investors can
conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value ("NAV") related
prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity
The Mutual fund industry in India started in 963 with the formation
of UTI (united trust of India), at the initiative of government of
India. The history of Mutual Funds in India can be broadly divided
into Four Phases.
First Phase- 1964-87
Unit Trust of India was established 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 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. 6700 crores of assets under management.
Second phase- 1987-1993 (entry of public sector funds).
1987 marketed 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 can bank Mutual fund (Dec 1987), Punjab
national bank mutual fund (August 89). India bank mutual fund
(Nov 89). Bank of India (June 90), bank of Baroda mutual fund (Oct
92). LIC established its mutual fund in Nov 1989 while GIC had set
up its mutual fund in December 1990 at the end of 1993, the mutual
fund industry had asset under management of Rs.47,004 crores.
Third phase- 1993-2003 (entry of private sector funds)

With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, an era
started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian
investors a wider choice of fund families, Also. 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 Kothari pioneer (now merged with Franklin
Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered
in July 1993. The 1993 SEBI (mutual funds ) registrations were
substituted by a more comprehensive and revised mutual
funds regulations in 1996 the number of mutual funds houses
went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up
funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several
mergers and acquisition. As at the of Jan 2003, there were 33
mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores. The UTI
with Rs. 44,541 crores of assets under management was way
ahead of other mutual funds.
Fourthphase-2003-2005:
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 with AUM of Rs.29,835 crores (as on
January 2003). The Specified Undertaking of 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 UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB,
BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI 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 . At the end of September 2004,
there were 29 funds, which manage assets of Rs.153108 crores
under 421 schemes.
ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
lf mutual funds are emerging as the favorite investment
vehicle, it is because of the many advantages they have over other
forms and the avenues of investing, particularly for the investor
who has limited resources available in terms of capital and
the ability to carry out detailed research and market
monitoring. The following are the major advantages offered by
mutual funds to all investors:
1. Portfolio Diversification:
Each investor in the fund is a part owner of all the fund's

assets, thus enabling him to hold a diversified investment
portfolio even with a small amount of investment that would
otherwise require big capital.
2. Professional Management:
Even if an investor has a big amount of capital available to
him, he benefits from the professional management skills
brought in by the fund in the management of the investor's
portfolio. The investment management skills, along with the
needed research into available investment options, ensure a
much better return than what an investor can manage on his
own. Few investors have the skill and resources of their own to
succeed in today’s fast moving, global and sophisticated markets.
3. Reduction/Diversification Of Risk:
When an investor invests directly, all the risk of potential
loss is his own, whether he places a deposit with a company or a
bank, or he buys share or debenture on his own or in any other
from. While investing in the pool of funds with investors, the
potential losses are also shared with other investors. The risk
reduction is one of the most important benefits of a collective
investment vehicle like the mutual fund.
4. Reduction Of Transaction Costs:

What is true of risk as also true of the transaction costs. The
investor bears all the costs or investing such as brokerage or
custody of securities. When going through a fund, he has the
benefit of economics of scale; the funds pay lesser costs because
of larger volumes, a benefit passed on to its investors.
5. Liquidity:
Often, investors hold shares or bonds they cannot directly,
easily and quickly sell. When they invest in the units or a fund,
they can generally cash their investments any time, by selling
their units to the fund if open-ended, or selling them in the
market if the fund is close-end. Liquidity of investment is clearly a
big benefit.
6. Convenience And Flexibility:

Mutual fund management companies offer many investor
services that a direct market investor cannot get. Investors can
easily transfer their holding from One scheme to the other; get
updated market information and so on.
7. Tax Benefits:
Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject
to tax in the assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure
of concession to Unit holders of open-ended equity- oriented
funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31. 2003
will be taxed at a concessional rate of 10.5%.
In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) a
deduction upto Rs. 9,000 from the Total Income will be admissible
in respect of income from investments specified in Section 80L,
including income from Units of the Mutual Fund. Units of the
schemes are not subject to Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax.
DISADVANTAGES OF INVESTING
THROUGH MUTUAL FUNDS:
1. No Control Over Costs:
An investor in a mutual fund has no control of the overall costs

of investing. The investor pays investment management fees as long
as he remains with the fund, albeit in return for the professional
management and research. Fees are payable even if the value of his
investments is declining. A mutual fund investor also pays fund
distribution costs, which he would not incur in direct investing.
However, this shortcoming only means that there is a cost to obtain
the mutual fund services.
2. No Tailor-Made Portfolio:
Investors who invest on their own can build their own portfolios
of shares and bonds and other securities, Investing through fund
means he delegates this decision to the fund managers, The very-
high-net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this
to be a constraint in achieving their objectives. However, most
mutual fund managers help investors overcome this constraint by
offering families of funds - a large number of different schemes -
within their own management company. An investor can choose from
different investment plans and constructs a portfolio to his choices.
3. Managing A Portfolio Of Funds:
Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too

much choice for the investor. He may again need advice on how to
select a fund to achieve his objectives, quite similar to the situation
when he has individual shares or bonds to select.
4. The Wisdom Of Professional Management: 2

0
That's right, this is not an advantage. The average mutual2
0
fund manager is no better at picking stocks than the average non-
professional, but charges fees.
5. No Control:
Unlike picking your own individual stocks, a mutual fund puts
you in the passenger seat of somebody else's car.
6. Dilution:
Mutual funds generally have such small holdings of so many
different stocks that insanely great performance by a fund's top
holdings still doesn't make much of a difference in a mutual fund's
total performance.
7. Buried Costs:
Many mutual funds specialize in burying their costs and in hiring
salesmen who do not make those costs clear to their clients.

A) BY STRUCTURE
1. Open - Ended Schemes:
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all

through the year. These do not have a fixed maturity. Investors "an
conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) related
prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.
2. Close - Ended Schemes:
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 schemes on the
stock exchanges: where they are listed. In order to provide an
exit route t0 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 t0 the investor.
3. Interval Schemes:
Interval Schemes are that scheme, which combines the

features of open-ended and close- ended schemes. The units may be
traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or redemption
during pre-determined intervals at NA V related prices.

B) BY NATURE
1. Equity Fund:
These funds invest the maximum part of their corpus into

equities holdings. The structure of the fund may vary different for
different schemes and the fund manager’s outlook on different stocks.
The Equity Funds are sub-classified depending upon their investment
objective, as follows:
• Diversified Equity Funds

• Mid-Cap Funds
• Sector Specific Funds
• Tax Savings Funds (ELSS)
Equity investments are meant for a longer time horizon, thus Equity
funds rank high on the risk-return matrix.
2. Debt Funds
The objective of these Funds is to invest in debt papers,

Government authorities, private companies, banks and financial
institutions are some of the major issuers of debt papers. By investing
in debt instruments, these funds ensure low risk and provide stable
income to the investors. Debt funds are further classified as:
• Gilt Funds: Invest their corpus in securities issued by

Government, popularly known as Government of India debt papers.
These Funds carry zero Default risk but are associated with Interest
Rate risk. These schemes are safer as they invest in papers backed by
Government.
• Income Funds: Invest a major portion into various debt

instruments such as bonds, corporate debentures and Government
securities.

• MIPs: Invests maximum of their total corpus in debt instruments
while they take minimum exposure in equities. It gets benefit of
both equity and debt market. These scheme ranks slightly high on the
risk-return matrix when compared with other debt schemes.
• Short Term Plans (STPs): Meant for investment horizon for three to six
months. These funds primarily invest in short term papers like
Certificate of Deposits (CDs) and Commercial Papers (CPs). Some
portion of the corpus is also invested in corporate debentures.
• Liquid Funds: Also known as Money Market Schemes, These funds

provides easy liquidity and preservation of capital, These schemes
invest in short-term instruments like Treasury Bills, inter-bank call
money market, CPs and CDs. These funds are meant for short-term cash
management of corporate houses and are meant for an investment
horizon of 1 day to 3 months. These schemes rank low on risk-return
matrix and are considered to be the safest amongst all categories of
mutual funds.
3. Balanced Funds
As the name suggest they are a mix of both equity and debt funds.
They invest in both equities and fixed income securities, which are in
line with pre-defined investment objective of the scheme. These
schemes aim to provide investors with the best of both the worlds.
Equity part provides growth and the debt part provides stability in
returns.
Further the mutual funds can be broadly classified on the basis of
investment parameter viz; each category of funds is backed by an
investment philosophy, which is pre-defined in the objectives of the
fund. The investor can align his own investment needs with the funds
objective and invest accordingly.

C) BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Growth Schemes:
Growth Schemes are also known as equity schemes. The

aim of these schemes is to provide capital appreciation over
medium to long term. These schemes normally invest a major
part of their fund in equities and are willing to bear short-term
decline in value for possible future appreciation.
Income Schemes:
Income Schemes are also known as debt schemes. The aim

of these schemes is 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.
Balanced Schemes:
Balanced Schemes aim to provide both growth and income
by periodically distributing a part of the income and capital gains
they can. These schemes invest in both shares and fixed income
securities, in the proportion indicated in their offer documents
(normally 50:50).
Money Market Schemes:

Money Market Schemes aim 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.

OTHER SCHEMES
Tax Saving Schemes:
Tax-saving schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under

tax laws prescribed from time to time. Under Sec.88 of the Income
Tax Act, contributions made to any Equity Linked Savings Scheme
(ELSS) are eligible for rebate.
Index Schemes:
Index schemes attempt to replicate the performance of a
particular index such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE 50. The
portfolio of these schemes will consist of only those stocks that
constitute the index. The percentage of each stock to the total
holding will be identical to the stocks index weightage. And
hence, the returns from such schemes would be more or less
equivalent to those of the Index.
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.

regulatory requirements for these mutual funds and all
are subject to monitoring and inspections by SEBI.
6. SEBI Regulations require that at least two thirds of the

directors of trustee company or board of trustees must
be independent i.e. they should not be associated with
the sponsors.

MUTUAL FUNDS
IN INDIA
In 1963, the day the concept of Mutual Fund took birth in
India. Unit Trust of India invited investors or rather to
those who believed in savings, to park their money in
UTI Mutual Fund.
For 30 years, it had goaled without a single second

player. Though the 1988 year saw some new mutual fund
companies but UTI remained in a monopoly position.
The performance of mutual funds in India in the initial

phase was not even closer to satisfactory level. People
rarely understood, and of course investing was out of
question. But yes, some 24 million shareholders were
accustomed with guaranteed high returns by the
beginning of the liberalization of the industry in 1992.
This good record of UTI became marketing tool for new
entrants. The expectations of investors touched the sky
in profitability factor. However, people were miles away
from the preparedness of risks factor after the
liberalization.
The net asset value (NA V) of mutual funds in India

declined when stock prices started falling in the year
3
1992. Those days, the market regulations did not allow 2
3
portfolio shifts into alternative investments, There 2
was rather no choice apart from holding the cash or to
further continue investing in shares. One more thing
to be noted, since only closed-end funds were floated in
the market, the investors disinvested by selling at a loss
in the secondary market.
The performance of mutual funds in India suffered

qualitatively. The 1992 stock market scandal, the losses
by disinvestments and of course the lack of transparent
rules in the whereabouts rocked confidence among the
investors. Partly owing to a relatively weak stock
market performance, mutual funds how not yet
recovered, with funds trading at an average discount of
1020 percent of their net asset value.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)

came out with comprehensive regulation in 1993
which defined the structure of Mutual Fund and Asset
Management Companies for the first time.
The supervisory authority adopted a set of measures to

create a transparent and competitive environment in
mutual funds. Some of them were like relaxing
investment restrictions into the market, introduction of
open-ended funds and paving the gateway for mutual
3
3
funds to launch pension schemes. 3
3
The measure was taken to make mutual funds the key
instrument for long-term saving. The more the variety
offered, the quantitative will be investors.
Several private sectors Mutual Funds were launched in

1993 and 1994. The share of the private players has
risen rapidly since then. Currently there are 43 Mutual
Funds in India.
At last to mention, as long as mutual fund companies are

performing with lower risks and higher profitability
within a short span of time, more and more people will be
inclined to invest until and unless they are fully educated
with the do’s and don'ts of mutual funds.
Mutual fund industry has seen a lot of changes in past

few decades with multinational companies coming into
this country, bringing in their professional expertise in
managing funds worldwide. In the past few months
there has been a consolidation phase going on in the
mutual fund industry in India. Now investors have a wide
range of Schemes to choose from depending on their
individual profile.

MUTUAL FUND COMPANIES IN INDIA:
The first introduction of a mutual fund in India occurred in

1963, when the Government of India launched UNIT TRUST OF
INDIA (UTI).
Until 1987, UTI enjoyed a monopoly in the Indian Mutual Fund

market. Then a host of other government controlled Indian
Financial companies came up with their own funds, these
included STATE BANK OF INDIA, CANARA BANK, AND PUNJAB
NATIONAL BANK.
This market was made open to private players in 1993, as a

result of the historic constitutional amendments brought
forward by the then Congress-led Government under the
regime of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization.
Kothari Pioneer was the first private sector mutual fund

company in India which has now merged with Franklin
Templeton. Just after ten years with private sector player’s
penetration, the total assets rose up to Rs. 1218.05 bn.
Mutual Funds are an under tapped market in India. Despite

being available in the market for over two decades now with
Assets under Management equaling Rs. 78,171,152 Lakhs (as
of 28th February 2010) less than 10% of Indian
households have invested in mutual funds.

A recent report on Mutual Fund Investments in India 5

published by research and analytics firm BOSTON ANALYTICS
suggests investors are holding back their money into mutual
funds due to their perceived high risk and a lack of
information on how mutual’s funds work. This report is based
on a survey of approx 10000 respondents in 15 Indian cities
and towns as of March 2010. There are 43 Mutual’s funds
recently in India.

UNIT TRUST OF INDIA MUTUAL FUND
Unit Trust of India was created by the UTI Act passed by the Parliament in
1963. For more than two decades, it remained the sole vehicle for investment
in the capital market by the Indian citizens. In mid- 1980s Public Sector
Banks were allowed to open mutual funds. The real vibrancy and competition
in the Mutual Fund industry came with the setting up of the Regulator SEBI
and its laying down the MF Regulations in 1993. UTI maintained its pre-
eminent place till 2001, when 8 massive decline in the market indices and
negative investor sentiments after Ketan Parekh scam created doubts about
the capacity of UTI to meet its obligations to the investors. This was further
compounded by two factors namely, its flagship and largest scheme US 64
was sold and re-purchased not at intrinsic NA V but at artificial price and its
Assured Return Schemes had promised returns as high as 18% over a period
going up to two decades.
UTI Mutual Fund is managed by UTI Asset Management Company Private

Limited (Est.: Jan 14, 2003) who has been appointed by the UTI Trustee
Company Private Limited for managing the schemes of UTI Mutual Fund
and the schemes transferred / migrated from UTI Mutual Fund.

Net Asset Value (NAV)

A Fund’s net asset value or NAV equals the current market value of
a fund’s holdings minus the fund’s liabilities (sometimes referred
as “net assets”). It is usually expressed as a per-share amount,
computed by diving net assets by the number of fund shares
outstanding. Funds must compute their net asset value according
to their prospectus which is typically at the end of each day the
New York Stock Exchange is open, though some funds compute
their NAV more than a once daily.
Sale Price
Sale price is the price you pay when you invest in a scheme. Also called
Offer Price. It may include a sales load.
Repurchase Price
It 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
It 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.
74
74
Sales Load
It is a charge collected by a scheme when it sells the units. Also,
called as 'Front-end' load. Schemes that do not charge a load are
called 'No Load' schemes.
Repurchase or 'Back-end' Load

It is a charge collected by a scheme when it buys back the units from
the unit holders.
Expenses Ratio
The expenses ratio allows investors to compare expenses across funds.
The expense ratio equals the 12b-1 fee plus the other fund expenses
divided by average daily net assets. The expenses ratio sometimes
referred to as the “total expense ratio” or TER.

It is expressed as a percentage of average market value of the
portfolio’s long-term securities.

Conclusion
It is hopeful that this study creates awareness that the mutual funds are
worth investment practice. The various schemes of mutual funds provide the
investors with a wide range of investments options according to his risk bearing
capacities and interest. Besides they also give a handy return to the investors. The
project analyses various schemes of Different Companies.
In India Mutual funds are playing important role. The mutual funds
companies pool the savings of small investors and invest those collected huge
amount of funds in different sectors of the economy. They are performing like
intermediary between small investor and the Indian capital market. In recent years
many mutual fund companies are established. Through this competition is
increased among the companies. To encounter the competition the different
companies are introducing different types of mutual fund schemes with attractive
returns and low risk. So it is an advantage to the investors.
The stock market has been rising for over six years now. This in turn has not
only protected the money invested in funds but has also to helped grow these
investments.
This has also instilled greater confidence among fund investors who are
investing more into the market through the MF route than ever before.
Reliance India mutual funds provide major benefits to a

common man who wants to make his life better than previous.
India's largest mutual fund, UTI, still controls nearly 80 per cent
of the market. Also, the mutual fund industry as a whole gets less than 2 per cent
of household savings against the 46 per cent that go into bank deposits. Some
fund managers say this only indicates the sector's potential. "lf mutual funds
93
succeed in chipping away at bank deposits, even a triple digit 93
growth is possible over the next few years”.
