“RANKING OF MUTUAL FUND
ACCORDING TO TAX PLAN”
Session : 2018-2020
After 1991, the new Industrial Policy, the Indian economy became more Liberal and
global. As a result of economic liberalization, Indian capital market has generated interest
in equity among Indian investors. However lack of adequate expertise to face bull and bear
leave his with little alternative to participate is equity.
The Indian investors have not proper knowledge of the capital market, thus they are not
able to take a wisely decisions. This research is motivated by the inquisitiveness expressed
by various people. Its main purpose is providing a wide knowledge to the various areas of
the mutual fund.
I believe that the funding of this project would be highly beneficial to investor in making
their investment decisions. They would be able to take a prudent decision according to
their respective objectives and financial goals.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION OF THE
INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
As investors are getting more educated, aware and prudent they look for innovative
investment instruments so that they are able to reduce investment risk, minimize
transaction costs, and maximize return along with certain level of convenience as a result
there has been an advent of numerous innovative financial instruments such as bonds,
company deposits, insurance, and mutual funds.
Goal of mutual funds is to provide an efficient way to make money. In India there are 29
mutual funds with different investment strategies and goals to choose from. Different
mutual funds have different risks, which differ because of the fund’s goals, fund’s
manager and investment styles.
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a
common financial goal. 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 to the number of units owned by them.
Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations 1993, defines mutual fund as
follows:
“Mutual Fund means a fund established in the form of a trust by a sponsor to raise moneys
by the trustees through the scale of units to public under one or more schemes for
investing in securities in accordance with these regulations.”
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:
Sponsor is the person who acting alone or in combination with another body corporate
establishes a mutual fund. Sponsor must contribute at least 40% of the net worth of the
Investment managed and meet the eligibility criteria prescribed under the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996.The Sponsor is not
responsible or liable for any loss or shortfall resulting from the operation of the Schemes
beyond the initial contribution made by it towards setting up of the Mutual Fund.
Trust
The Mutual Fund is constituted as a trust in accordance with the provisions of the Indian
Trusts Act, 1882 by the Sponsor. The trust deed is registered under the Indian Registration
Act, 1908.
Trustee
The AMC is appointed by the Trustee as the Investment Manager of the Mutual Fund. The
AMC is required to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to
act as an asset management company of the Mutual Fund. At least 50% of the directors of
the AMC are independent directors who are not associated with the Sponsor in any
manner. The AMC must have a net worth of at least 10 crore at all times.
Registrar and Transfer Agent
The AMC if so authorized by the Trust Deed appoints the Registrar and Transfer Agent to
the Mutual Fund. The Registrar processes the application form; redemption requests and
dispatches account statements to the unit holders. The Registrar and Transfer agent also
handles communications with investors and updates investor records.
Custodian
Banking organization that keeps in safe custody all the securities and other instruments
belonging to the fund to insure smooth inflow and outflow of securities. It is also approved
regulated and registered with SEBI.
BY STRUCTURE
Open Ended Schemes
These do not have a fixed maturity investors deal directly with the mutual fund for their
investments and redemptions the key features is liquidity. One can conveniently buy and
sell his units at net asset values (NAV) related prices.
Closed Ended Schemes
Schemes that have a stipulate maturity period are called close–ended schemes. One can
invest directly in the scheme at the time of the initial issue and thereafter he can buy or
sell the units of the schemes exchange could vary from the scheme’s NAV on account of
demand of supply situation unit holder’s expectation and other market factors.
Interval Schemes
These combine the features of open ended, 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.
BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Aim to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long term. Their schemes
normally invest a majority of their funds in equities and are willing to bear short-term
decline in value for possible future appreciation.
Ideal For:
Ideal For:
Retired people and others with a need for capital stability and regular income. Investors
who need some income to supplement their earnings.
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, of fall equally when the market falls.
Ideal For:
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 paper and interbank call money.
OTHER SCHEMES
Tax Saving Schemes
These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under tax laws as prescribed from time
to time. This is made possible because the Government offers tax incentives for
investment in specified avenues. For example, Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS)
and pension schemes.
Recent amendments to the Income Tax Act provide further opportunities to investors to
save capital gains by investing in mutual funds
Ideal For:
Investors seeking tax rebates.
Special Schemes
This category includes index schemes that attempt to replicate the performance of a
particular index such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE 50 or industry specific schemes
(Which invest in specific) or sectorial schemes (Which invest exclusively in high
segments such as “A” Group shares or initial public offerings).
Ideal For:
Investment who are satisfied with a return approximately equal to that of an index.
Remember as always higher the return investor seeks, higher the risk he should be
prepared to take.
Investors avails the services for experience and skilled professionals who are backed by
dedicated investment research team, which analyses the performance and prospects of
companies and selects suitable investments to achieve of the scheme.
Diversification
Mutual funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross section of industries and
sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do all stocks declare at the same
time and in the same proportion. Investor achieves this diversification through fund with far
less money he could do it on his own.
Convenient administration
Investing in mutual fund reduces paperwork and helps investor to avoid problems such as
bad deliveries, delayed payment and unnecessary follow up with brokers and companies.
Mutual funds save time and make investing easy and convenient.
Return potential
Over medium to long term mutual funds have the potential to provide higher returns as
they invest in diversified basket of selected securities.
Low costs
Mutual fund are relatively less expensive way to invest compared to directly investing in the
capital markets because the benefits of scales in brokerage, custodial and other fees translate
into low costs for investors.
Liquidity
In open-ended schemes, investor can get his money promptly at net asset value related
prices from the mutual fund itself. With close-ended schemes, Investor can sell his units on a
stock exchange at the prevailing market price.
Transparency
Investor gets regular information about the value of his investment in addition to disclosure
on the specific investments made by a scheme and the proportion invested in the each class
of assets and the fund manager’s investment strategy and outlook.
Flexibility
Through features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans and dividend
reinvestment plan plans investor can systematically invest or withdraw funds according to
his needs and convenience.
Choice of investments
Mutual funds offer a family of schemes to suit investors varying needs over a lifetime.
Well regulated
All mutual funds are registered with SEBI and they function with the provision of strict
regulations designed to protect interest of investors. The operations of mutual funds are
regularly monitored by SEBI.
Affordability
Investors individually may lack sufficient funds to invest in high-grade stocks. A Mutual
fund because of its large corpus allows even a small investor to take the benefit of its
investment strategy.
No Guarantees
No investment is risk free. Investors encounter fewer risks when they invest in mutual
funds than when they buy and sell stocks on their own. However, anyone who invests
through a mutual fund runs of losing money.
No Tailor-made Portfolio
Mutual Fund portfolio are created and marketed by AMCs, into which investors invest.
Investors cannot create tailor-made portfolios.
Taxes
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual fund sell anywhere from 20 to 70
percent of the securities in their portfolios. If a fund makes a profit on its sales, taxes are to
be paid on the income received, even if the money is re-invested.
The Higher the risk greater the returns/loss and lower the risk lesser the returns/loss.
Hence it is up to the investor to decide how much risk he is willing to take
Market Risk
Sometimes prices and yields of all securities rise and fall. Board outside influences
affecting the market in general lead to this. This is known as market risk.
Credit Risk
The debt servicing ability (may it be interest payments or repayment of principal) of a
company thought its cash flows determines the credit risk faced by you. A well-diversified
portfolio might help mitigate this risk.
Inflation Risk
The root cause,” Inflation” is the loss of purchasing power over time. A lot of times
people make conservatives investment decisions to protect their capital but end up with a
sum of money that can buy less than what the principal could at time of the investment.
Interest Rate Risk
In a free market economy interest rates are difficult if not impossible to predict.
Changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If interest rates
rise the prices of bonds fall and vice versa.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises when it become difficult to sell the securities that one has
purchased.

Sub objectives
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Dr. Sandeep Bansal, Deepak Garg and Sanjeev K Saini (2012), have studied Impact
of Sharpe Ratio & Treynor’s Ratio on Selected Mutual Fund Schemes. This paper
examines the performance of selected mutual fund schemes, that the risk profile of the
aggregate mutual fund universe can be accurately compared by a simple market index
that offers comparative monthly liquidity, returns, systematic & unsystematic risk and
complete fund analysis by using the special reference of Sharpe ratio and Treynor’s
ratio.
Dr. K. Veeraiah and Dr. A. Kishore Kumar (Jan 2014), conducted a research on
Comparative Performance Analysis of Select Indian Mutual Fund Schemes. This study
analyzes the performance of Indian owned mutual funds and compares their
performance. The performance of these funds was analyzed using a five year NAVs
and portfolio allocation. Findings of the study reveals that, mutual funds out perform
naïve investment. Mutual funds as a medium-to-long term investment option are
preferred as a suitable investment option by investors.
Dr. Yogesh Kumar Mehta (Feb 2012), has studied Emerging Scenario of Mutual
Funds in India: An Analytical Study of Tax Funds. The present study is based on
selected equity funds of public sector and private sector mutual fund. Corporate and
Institutions who form only 1.16% of the total number of investors accounts in the MFs
industry, contribute a sizeable amount of Rs. 2,87,108.01 crore which is 56.55% of the
total net assets in the MF industry. It is also found that MFs did not prefer debt
segment.
Prof. V. Vanaja and Dr. R. Karrupasamy (2013), have done a Study on the
Performance of select Private Sector Balanced Category Mutual Fund Schemes in
India. This study of performance evaluation would help the investors to choose the best
schemes available and will also help the AUM’s in better portfolio construction and
can rectify the problems of underperforming schemes. The objective of the study is to
evaluate the performance of select Private sector balanced schemes on the basis of
returns and comparison with their bench marks and also to appraise the performance of
different category of funds using risk adjusted measures as suggested by Sharpe,
Treynor and Jensen.
E. Priyadarshini and Dr. A. Chandra Babu (2011), have done Prediction of The Net
Asset Values of Indian Mutual Funds Using Auto- Regressive Integrated Moving
Average (Arima). In this paper, some of the mutual funds in India had been modeled
using Box-Jenkins autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) methodology.
Validity of the models was tested using standard statistical techniques and the future
NAV values of the mutual funds have been forecasted.
Dr. Ranjit Singh, Dr. Anurag Singh and Dr. H. Ramananda Singh (August 2011),
have done research on Positioning of Mutual Funds among Small Town and Sub-
Urban Investors. In the recent past the significant proportion of the investment of the
urban investor is being attracted by the mutual funds. This has led to the saturation of
the market in the urban areas. In order to increase their investor base, the mutual fund
companies are exploring the opportunities in the small towns and sub-urban areas. But
marketing the mutual funds in these areas requires the positioning of the products in
the minds of the investors in a different way. The product has to be acceptable to the
investors, it should be affordable to the investors, it should be made available to them
and at the same time the investors should be aware of it. The present paper deals with
all these issues. It measures the degree of influence on acceptability, affordability,
availability and awareness among the small town and sub-urban investors on their
investment decisions.

closing NAVs. The source of data is website of Association of Mutual Funds in India
(AMFI). The study period is 1st January 2007 to 31st December, 2011. The results of
performance measures suggest that most of the mutual fund have given positive return
during 2007 to 2011.
C.Srinivas Yadav and Hemanth N C (Feb 2014), have studied Performance of
Selected Equity Growth Mutual Funds in India: An Empirical Study during 1st June
2010 To 31st May 2013. The study evaluates performance of selected growth equity
funds in India, carried out using portfolio performance evaluation techniques such as
Sharpe and Treynor measure. S&P CNX NIFTY has been taken as the benchmark. The
study conducted with 15 equity growth Schemes (NAV ) were chosen from top 10
AMCs ( based on AUM) for the period 1st June 2010 to 31st may 2013(3 years).
Rahul Singal, Anuradha Garg and Dr Sanjay Singla (May 2013), have done

between results drawn from different schemes and normally the different are
insignificant.
Dhimen Jani and Dr. Rajeev Jain (Dec 2013), have studied Role of Mutual Funds in
Indian Financial System as a Key Resource Mobiliser. This paper attempts to identify,
the relationship between AUM mobilized by mutual fund companies and GDP growth

equity large cap mutual fund schemes in terms of risk- return relationship. The main
objectives of this research work are to analysis financial performance of selected
mutual fund schemes through the statistical parameters such as (alpha, beta, standard
deviation, r-squared, Sharpe ratio).
Dr. Ashok Khurana and Kavita Panjwani (Nov, 2010), have analysed Hybrid
Mutual Funds. Mutual fund returns can be compared using Arithmetic mean &
Compounded Annual Growth Rate. Risk can be analyzed by finding out Standard
Deviation, Beta while performance analysis is based on Risk-Return adjustment. Key
ratios like Sharpe ratio and Treynor ratio are used for Risk-Return analysis. Funds are
compared with a benchmark, industry average, and analysis of volatility and return per
unit to find out how well they are performing with respect to the market Value at Risk
analysis can be done to find out the maximum possible losses in a month given the
investor had made an investment in that month. Based on the quantitative study
conducted company a fund is chosen as the best fund in the Balance fund growth
schemes.
Dr. D. Rajasekar (Sep 2013), has done a Study on Investor`s Preference Towards
Mutual Funds With Reference To Reliance Private Limited, Chennai - An Empirical

financial intermediaries like banks, insurance and other financial companies come in
the picture and mediate between savers and borrowers of funds. In the same way there
are different types of investors and each category of investors differs in its objectives
and hence it is imperative for investment managers to choose an appropriate
investment policy for the group they are dealing with, further managing the investment
is a dynamic and an ongoing process.

Mutual Fund Industry in India. Market penetration is a term that indicates how deeply a
product or service has become entrenched with a given consumer market. The degree
of penetration is often measured by the amount of sales that are generated within the
market itself. A product that generates twenty percent of the sales made within a given
market would be said to have a higher rate of market penetration that a similar product
that realizes ten percent of the total sales within that same market. Determining what
constitutes the consumer market is key to the process of properly calculating market
penetration.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Statement of problem
When anyone has excess money as compare to his current consumption, then there are
many option in front of him for invest his excess money. He can invest his money in bank
F.D, purchase a speculative share, buy Gold, contribute to Provident Fund and can invest
in some other forms. Every investment have to two aspects Time and risks. When we
sacrifice in present we will earn benefits in future, but there would be some elements of
uncertainty. And general not know in which assets he invest for diversify the risks.
This report of mine has been under taken to study risk and return implication of investing
in Mutual Fund and also give consideration to investment in different assets for diversify
risk and maximize return.
Objective of study
1. To describe the functioning of the Mutual Fund.
2. To create the trade –off between the risk and return of the investment.
3. To familiar the investor with different assets allocation for achieves their financial
goals.
Scope
The main ambit of the report is too much larger area of investment analysis. It describes
the risk measurement and return analysis on the basis of several technical techniques. And
it also avail the different strategy for investment as a result we can achieved our financial
objectives.
Data collection
There are basically two sources of the data namely primary and secondary data. I use both
the data in my report. I have primarily made use of secondary data collected from various
sites as well as business daily “The Economic Times” and company weekly magazine
“The Wise Money”. Also a part of information regarding stock market was collected
through discussion with common investor and expert in the area of equity research and
security and investment analysis.
This section will describe the methodological tools adopted in conducting the research
and reduce the uncertainty level for the top management in making critical decisions.
RESEARCH PROBLEM
The problem at hand was to analyze and competitive positions of various Mutual fund and to
measure the position of Mutual fund that which Mutual fund is good for investing for investors.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design is the conceptual structure within which research would be conducted. The
preparation of such a design facilitates research to be as efficient as possible yielding maximal
information. Research design may be of any type such as 1) Exploration, 2) Description, 3) Diagnosis,
and 4) Experimentation.
Sample Size
Sample size means the population on which we do any research. In this research I select Tax Plan of
10 Mutual funds, which is the sample size of my research.
Source of data
There are two types of data one is primary data and another type of data is secondary data. The data
use in this research is secondary data.
The data, which I used, is secondary and this type of data available on web sites and
published in various journals, books, magazines and newspapers, report and publication. I
collected the data from various websites of Mutual fund like amfiindia.com,
mutualfundindia.com etc., and also from the journal published by AMFI.
Tools for analysis
Every researcher needs various tools for analysis the data. Therefore to complete my
research I select the percentage method and ranking method, from which I measure
&compare the Mutual fund.
MEASUREMENT METHODS: -
SHARPE RATIO
TREYNOR RATIO
JENSION RATIO
This research project was carried out to measure the competitiveness of various Mutual
Funds present in the Market. The rating has been done according to the Net Asset Values
of a various Tax Plan of different-2 Mutual Fund with the return of NIFTY.
The rating also consider that how a fund is diversified their money in different-2 portfolio.
Scope of Research
However the scope of research was limited to various Mutual funds. Only “Tax Plan” of
various Mutual Funds taken in this Research.
In this research only 10 Mutual fund are consider which was consider as the sample size of
the project with the past three months of data i.e. from ‘15th Feb. 2018 to 10th July 2018’.
The rating of each Mutual fund is based upon their Fund manager, their diversified
portfolio, and comparison of NAV with NIFTY.

Looking at the figures, we can observe that 39 % of people have been investing for less
than 3 years and so on. We know that the capital markets have picked up in past 4-5 years.
Also, there are more stringent norms by SEBI and exchanges. That is the reason why
people have started to pose more trust in capital markets now.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
AND
SUGGESTION
Conclusion
Mutual funds have to provide very good services standards, Performance &
Transparency. So be prepared for that, there is no such thing as risk free. Every
thing as risk.
In May sensex was crossed over the Bench mark of 12,385, which means all funds
are giving good performance. In July Mutual funds gross purchase worth Rs.
416.83 crore while their gross sales aggregated Rs.328.01 crore on July. The 30-
share BSE Sensex grown up 129.46 points to settle at 10.215 on July. The net flow
of July was Rs. 734.91 Crores.
ICICI Mutual fund is the biggest fund manager with equity holding of Rs.642.07
crores. Followed by SBI Rs. 626.78 crores, Reliance Rs. 589.67 crores and UTI
566.09 crores.
. We don’t even believe in trying to predict indices or where the markets are likely
to be in the near future. But, what we do believe in is that valuations are extremely
attractive, even if you look at it in historical terms.
According to tax plan the HDFC mutual fund is the best option to invest. The Beta
is very low which means low risk. The fund Gives regularly return to investors.
Suggestion
1. Before invest in mutual funds, the investor should check the day to day NAV of
mutual fund and check the fluctuate of the price, measurable and then invest the
money so investor have getting good return.
2. We should check the NIFTY because it changes the NIFTY like up & down. So, it
can negative effect of mutual fund. It should be measurable day to day.
4. In, invest in mutual fund so we have check the political and legal factor analyses
because it negative affects the NAV of mutual fund.
Limited Time
There was limited time in which this project has to be completed. Therefore it was a
major limitation of the study.
Sample Size
The sample size was only limited to a block time duration because I have “10 mutual
fund”.
Limited Area
The area of the study covered in this project was limited to only one mutual fund
scheme, not the whole mutual fund.
