    Mutual Funds

    OVERVIEW OF MUTUAL FUND


    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


    appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the

    most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an


    opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.

    A Mutual Fund is a special type of institution , a trust or an investment company which acts as an investment intermediary and channelizes the savings of large number of people to the corporate securities in such a way that investors get steady returns, capital appreciation and a low risk. Mutual funds have a fund manager who invests the money on

    behalf of the investors by buying / selling stocks, bonds etc.

    Types Of Mutual Fund Schemes:


    Mutual funds Schemes can be segregated into three heads

    1. Schemes according to Maturity Period:


    A mutual fund scheme can be classified into open-ended scheme or close-ended scheme depending on its maturity period. Open-ended Fund/ Scheme Open-ended schemes are those schemes where investors can redeem and buy new units all throughout the year as per their convenience at NAV related prices. Close-ended Fund/ Scheme A close-ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the time of launch of the scheme. 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 scheme on the stock exchanges where the units are listed. NOTE: SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor i.e. either repurchase facility or through listing on stock exchanges. These mutual funds schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis.

    2. Schemes according to Investment Objective:

    Income / Debt Oriented Scheme

    Balanced Fund

    Risks Associated with Mutual Funds


    Professional Management- Some funds dont perform in the market, as
    their management is not dynamic enough to explore the available opportunity in the market.

    Costs The biggest source of AMC income is generally from the entry & exit load
    which they charge from investors, at the time of purchase. The mutual fund industries are thus charging extra cost under layers of jargon.

    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.

    Taxes - when making decisions about your money, fund managers don't consider
    your personal tax situation. For example, when a fund manager sells a security, a capital-gain tax is triggered, which affects how profitable the individual is from the sale.

    Problems Of Mutual Funds


    Liquidity Crisis Lack of Innovation Inadequate Disclosure Increased Competition Lack of Transparency No Provision for Performance Guarantee
