Therefore, one of the crucial ways, people can build their core capital is by investing in a mutual fund What is a Mutual fund? A mutual fund basically pools the money of investors, who share some common financial objective. This money is invested in capital market instruments like shares, debentures and other securities and also in Other investible avenues such as real estate, commodities etc. Income thus earned and the capital appreciation realised, are shared by its unit holders (investors) in proportion to the number of units owned by them 7

How is mutual fund investing different from investing in stock markets? The following table lists down the advantages and disadvantages associated with adopting the two approaches to investing. Investing through mutual funds Positives Investing in stock markets directly Positives

The investor can't invest in large no of IPOs at the same time due to the high up front application amount.

There is a limit on the investment amount in IPOs. The investor may not be allotted the desired number of shares applied by him due to oversubscription.

2: Mutual fund investors have to shell out loads and bear the fund management fee charged by the mutual fund house and the AMC.

2: Investor has to keep a track of the market and the individual stocks as well. This whole process requires more of time, efforts and expertise. 3: To limit his downside through F&O market, investor has to pay a hefty sum as margin money. Further, F&O trading requires constant market tracking which is a very time consuming task. 4: Investing in international market might prove to be an expensive affair for retail investors. 5: Relatively high cost of , as short-term capital gains tax comes into picture.

Benefits of mutual funds Sets the investor free from four main constraints Convenience and Knowledge: The investor need not go through the tedious task of research and stock selection and need not track the market to manage the portfolio. Time: Frees one from spending his precious time to track his portfolio everyday. Complexity: Frees from the complexity involved in equity and debt markets. Diversification: Investing in mutual funds enable a well-diversified portfolio, with a very small amount of investment. Diversification across various securities lowers the risk associated with investment Higher risk-adjusted returns: Majority of equity funds have outperformed indices while other avenues like fixed deposits, post-office schemes etc. have delivered lower returns Professional management: Investors purchase funds because they do not have time or expertise to manage their own portfolio. A mutual fund is relatively an inexpensive way for a small investor to get a full-time manager to create and monitor his portfolio. Low entry barrier: Any investor can invest in mutual funds. He need not open a broking or a demat account to invest in mutual funds. Further, investment can be made in mutual funds with an amount as low as Rs. 500 Liquidity: Easy and fast redemption leads to high liquidity. Also, one can enter and exit the fund (open-ended) depending on his discretion Transparency: The transparency levels are very high in this industry. Investors can view his fund's NAV on a daily basis. Also, majority of the funds disclose their portfolio holdings on a monthly basis 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 costefficient way of portfolio management. Also, there are ELSS funds (tax saving funds) which help availing the benefit of tax-saving u/s 80C. As compared to other tax saving avenues, they have lowest lock-in period and also offer higher return potential

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

CATEGORIES OF MUTUAL FUNDS In terms of ease with which investors can enter and exit funds, mutual funds are broadly divided into two classes:

Open-ended funds: Investors can buy and sell the units from the fund, at any point of time. Close-ended funds: These funds raise money from investors only once. Therefore, after the offer period, fresh investments can not be made into the fund. If the fund is listed on a stocks exchange the units can be traded like stocks (E.g., Morgan Stanley Growth Fund). Recently, most of the New Fund Offers of close-ended funds provided liquidity window on a periodic basis such as monthly or weekly. Redemption of units can be made during specified intervals. Therefore, such funds have relatively low liquidity.

There are various classes of mutual funds depending upon the nature of investments. Here are three broad classes from which one can choose to invest, depending upon his risk-return profile.

Equity funds Balanced funds Debt funds

11

Equity funds These funds invest in equities and equity related instruments. With fluctuating share prices, such funds show volatile performance, even losses. However, short term fluctuations in the market, generally smoothens out in the long term, thereby offering higher returns at relatively lower volatility. At the same time, such funds can yield great capital appreciation as, historically, equities have outperformed all asset classes in the long term. Hence, investment in equity funds should be considered for a period of at least 3-5 years.

Fund classification based on capitalization focus 12

There are also funds based on capitalization which invest in companies falling within a certain segment of market capitalization. Based on capitalization, equity funds can be placed on the risk return grid as shown below

Balanced funds Their investment portfolio includes both debt and equity. As a result, on the risk-return ladder, they fall between equity and debt funds. Balanced funds are the ideal mutual funds vehicle for investors who prefer spreading their risk across various instruments. Following are balanced funds classes

Debt-oriented funds Equity-oriented funds

Debt Funds They invest only in debt instruments, and are a good option for investors averse to idea of taking risk associated with equities. Therefore, they invest exclusively in fixed-income instruments like bonds, debentures, Government of India securities; and money market instruments such as certificates of deposit (CD), commercial paper (CP) and call money. Put your money into any of these debt funds depending on your investment horizon and needs.

Innovative funds Fund of funds A fund of funds is a mutual fund scheme that invests primarily in other schemes of the same mutual fund or other mutual funds. Hence, it is a step ahead of mutual fund in the sense that while a mutual fund keeps a track of the stocks it invests, a fund of fund keeps track of the mutual funds it invests and hence manages the portfolio on behalf of investors. Such funds are treated as a debt-oriented fund for tax purposes Advantages Convenience Investors switch between different funds at different times, and dynamically manage their portfolio in an endeavour to achieve high risk-adjusted returns. This task of managing the mutual funds portfolio is done on their behalf by fund of funds. Instead of having different account statements for different funds, investing in a fund of fund offers the convenience of having a single consolidated account statement, while still maintaining a diversified portfolio across various schemes. Flexibility Investors can spread their money across different strategies/managers. An investor may not be able to sell off when markets fall in the direct stock market. A fund of fund can easily switch from one fund to another Cost factor For an investor, who actively manages his portfolio, cost of execution and tax impact on short term switches could be a constraint. In such a case, investment in a fund of fund could prove to be an efficient route Disadvantages Fee structure Expense fees on fund of funds are typically higher than those on regular funds because investors have to bear expenses for the main fund of fund and other funds it invests into Stock-wise portfolio tracking Since a fund of funds buys many different funds which further invest in many different stocks, it is possible for the fund of funds to own the same stock through several different funds. Thus, it may be difficult for an individual investor to keep a track of the overall stock holdings 16

Risk-return profile Its position in the risk-return grid depends on its allocation to equity and debts funds Derivative funds They invest in the derivative market which limit the downside risk by selecting hedging approach and also offer additional return through shorting procedure Advantages Limit the downside risk Derivatives are generally used for hedging purpose so that they can limit the downside risk of equities. Hence this fund will be suitable in a falling mar Higher potential in generating returns It can offer higher return through short or long positions. But this involves high risk. Disadvantages The investor has the possibility of loosing his money if the fund takes unhedged positions Risk-return profile If the fund follows only hedging procedure then it can be termed as low risk - low return category. But if it takes short positions or unhedged positions then it can fall under high-risk, high-return category Internationally diversified funds They invest in equities and equity related instruments of companies listed overseas. Advantages

Geographical diversification to investors

It provides additional diversification and flexibility to overcome country-specific factors Disadvantages It can lead to volatility if it is exposed to expensive markets like Brazil or Russia Risk-return profile It depends on the foreign market it is exposed to 17

Capital protected funds (CPFs) These funds intend to offer reasonable return while protecting the capital Trying to understand capital protection strategies using financial jargons is like cracking a puzzle. But these strategies are based on one simple formula which can be adopted by anyone. Let us consider a case where one wants to invest Rs. 100 for a period of 3 years. Assuming debt paper return of 8% p.a., one can invest Rs. 80 in such paper for three years. This will grow to Rs. 100.77 at the end of 3 years. He can use the remaining Rs. 20 to invest in other risky avenues which has the potential of generating higher returns. If the risky avenues yield favorable returns, he will receive Rs. 100 plus gains on Rs. 20 invested in risky avenues. On the other hand if he loses his entire Rs. 20, he still manages to secure Rs. 100 at the end of three years. Thus, initial investment once made in debt and equity (in the report risk-free portion will be referred as debt and risky avenue will be assumed as equity) is not changed over the life time of the fund and it remains static. Therefore, it is known as Static Asset Allocation. In one more type of capital protection strategy, the allocation to debt and equity is revised and changed periodically (daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly). It is known as dynamic asset allocation. Multiplier: It is an implied leverage which is applied to the portfolio, which decides the risk that a portfolio can be exposed to. It generally varies from 2 to 5. Higher the multiplier, higher will be the portfolio's equity exposure in rising markets.

SHAPE YOUR WEALTH THROUGH SIP Introduction Which ever way you choose to invest your money to create wealth, one thing is for sure, the sooner you start the better off you will be. Once your investment returns start compounding year after year, you will really start to see the effect it has on your wealth creation activities Uncertainty is the basic nature of stock markets. Time and again, the markets have proved investors wrong by showing their unpredictable nature. This impact is most crushing on retail investors. Is it possible to ride on the stock market volatility, without getting hurt? Yes, it is! For this two simple principles need to be followed religiously Stay invested for long term SIP is one approach which lets the investors follow the two basic principles of investing at one go Benefits of SIP

Monthly contribution: Investing at one go proves to be a burden on the pockets of investors. On the other hand, monthly investments in small amounts are more feasible for them. SIP provides this benefit to retail investors, wherein they can invest a part of their monthly savings regularly. The initial investment amount may be as low as Rs.500. Systematic approach: SIP helps in investing consistently in a disciplined manner and further it helps in compounding returns as well.

Rupee-cost averaging: Any market witnesses ups and downs over a period. The best investment approach to be followed in such cases is a SIP. Here, irrespective of the NAV movement an investor acquires more units compared to a one time investor. Successively, this means higher gains. The following table illustrates the same. NAV (Rs.) 10 8 10 12 Units allotted in Amount invested Units allotted in Amount invested lump sum in SIP (Rs.) SIP in lump sum investment 5000 5000 5000 5000 500.00 625.00 500.00 416.67 20 25000 2500

SIP approach lets the investor to buy more units when the prices are low, thereby bringing down the average cost for the investors. Timing the market approach: Consider three cases. Sehwag invests Rs.5,000 at the index level on the first day of every month. Dhoni, being lucky, invests the same amount at the lowest value of the index every month; and Kaif, unfortunately invests the same amount but at the highest level of the index during that month. Investment made BSE Sensex returns Sehwag (indifferent) 20.02% Dhoni lucky) 20.87% (most Kaif (unlucky) 19.09%

The returns in the above three cases differ by a very small margin, showing that while investing for long term, it doesn't really matter whether you are investing at market peaks or market lows Hence time in the market is more important than timing the market. Investing through SIP frees you from timing the market because over a long horizon, SIP investment evens out the market ups and downs MUTUAL FUNDS TAX PERSPECTIVE For the purpose of tax-treatment, all funds are classified as equity oriented or debt oriented funds. An equity oriented fund means a fund where investments in equity shares in domestic companies are more than 65% of the assets. If a fund is able to meet this condition, it is treated as equity oriented fund, else as debt oriented fund

Applicable tax deductions: ELSS Eligible for tax deduction u/s 80 c for an amount up to Rs. 1 lakh

A Great Business Opportunity Of MFSS For Authorized Persons Introducing MFSS November 30, 2009 saw the introduction of a completely new concept called Mutual Fund Service System (MFSS). Starting with the equity oriented schemes, Mutual Fund schemes will now be transacted on the Stock Exchanges in India (NSE and BSE). The Required Change Mutual Fund schemes being traded on the stock exchanges, the following will be the mandatory changes: A complete change in the way Mutual Fund investment transactions in India will be organized. Change in the profile of the intermediaries involved in these transactions only authorized entities will be allowed to help the investors undertake these transactions. The concept of Business Associate for Mutual Funds will give way to a comparatively more important concept of an Authorized Person. Going forward, all of the Mutual Funds transactions at stock exchanges will be in dematerialized format with obvious benefits in form of more transparent, convenient and efficient transactions. There will be a need for a broking account and a demat account to invest in Mutual Funds in India. Mutual Fund investment transactions will be similar to direct equity investment transactions, both being traded at the stock exchanges. Hence, a Partnership with a Renowned Financial Intermediary in India, that has an existing relationship with the capital markets as a Broker as well as a Depository Participant, will become the Need of the Hour. Service Umbrella providers will be in more demand and provide a greater value than standalone service providers.
