MUTUAL FUNDS
A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment fund that pools money from many investors
to purchase securities. Mutual funds are investment vehicles that pool money from many different
investors to increase their buying power and diversify their holdings. This allows investors to add a
substantial number of securities to their portfolio for a much lower price than purchasing each
security individually.
Most funds also offer investors opportunity to enter after inception at prevailing value of the
units.
Each fund has its own investment objective.
Depending on the objective, the investment avenues targeted by each fund will be different.
Investors chose between various funds based on their own personal investment objectives.
Funds are managed by professional fund managers for a fee.
The value of a unit at any given point would depend upon the value of the various
investments made by the fund at that point in time.
Subject to conditions stated at the time of inception of the fund. The investors can redeem
their investments as and when they want.
Mutual fund industry AUM recorded a CAGR of 15.25 per cent over FY07–17. India is considered
one of the preferred investment destinations globally.
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) is targeting nearly fivefold growth in assets
under management (AUM) to INR 95 lakh crore (US$ 1.47 trillion) and a more than three times
growth in investor accounts to 130 million by 2025.
The asset management industry in India is among the fastest growing in the world.
8
India registered a record inflow of amount of US$ 51.02 billion in mutual funds in FY 2016-
17. According to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) data, this was the
highest investment in mutual fund schemes since the fiscal 1999-2000.
Equity mutual funds have registered a record net inflow of Rs 20,362 crore (US$ 3.18
billion), thereby increasing their asset base to Rs 6.44 lakh crore (US$ 100.8 billion) in
August 2017.
1. Diversification. Mutual funds spread their holdings across a number of different investment
vehicles, which reduces the effect any single security or class of securities will have on the
overall portfolio. Because mutual funds can contain hundreds or thousands of securities,
investors aren’t likely to be fazed if one of the securities doesn’t do well.
2. Expert Management. Many investors lack the financial know-how to manage their own
portfolio. However, non-index mutual funds are managed by professionals who dedicate their
careers to helping investors receive the best risk-return trade-off according to their objectives.
3. Liquidity. Mutual funds, unlike some of the individual investments they may hold, can be
traded daily. Though not as liquid as stocks, which can be traded intraday, buy and sell orders
are filled after market close.
4. Convenience. If you were investing on your own, you would ideally spend time researching
securities. You’d also have to purchase a huge range of securities to acquire holdings
9
comparable to most mutual funds. Then, you’d have to monitor all those securities. Choosing
a mutual fund is ideal for people who don’t have the time to micromanage their portfolios.
5. Reinvestment of Income. Another benefit of mutual funds is that they allow you to reinvest
your dividends and interest in additional fund shares. In effect, this allows you to take
advantage of the opportunity to grow your portfolio without paying regular transaction fees
for purchasing additional mutual fund shares.
6. Range of Investment Options and Objectives. There are funds for the highly aggressive
investor, the risk averse, and the middle-of-the-road investor – for example, emerging
markets funds, investment-grade bond funds, and balanced funds, respectively. There are also
life cycle funds to ramp down risk as you near retirement. There are funds with a buy-and-
hold philosophy and others that are in and out of holdings almost daily. No matter your
investing style, there’s bound to be a perfect fund to match it.
1. No guarantees. Unlike bank deposits, mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other agency of the U.S. government.
The market value of a mutual fund may fluctuate, even if the fund invests in government
securities.

History of Mutual Funds in India
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India (UTI),
under the initiative of Government of India (GOI) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The history of
mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases
Phase I – 1964-87
UTI was established on 1963 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 the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took
over the regulatory and administrative control from RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was
Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6,700 crores of assets under management.

Factors to Consider
Before Investing in Mutual Funds :
1. Determine your financial goals and risk tolerance.
When it comes to investing in mutual funds and ETFs, investors have thousands of choices.
Before you invest in any mutual fund or ETF, you must decide whether the investment
strategy and risks are a good fit for you. You should also consider more generally whether
the unique style of investing of the mutual fund’s.
2. Beware of risk.
All investments carry some level of risk. An investor can lose some or all of the money he
or she invests—the principal—because securities held by a fund go up and down in value.
Dividend payments may also fluctuate as market conditions change.
12
Types of Funds to Include in Your Portfolio
Stock funds
Actively managed growth or value funds, or index funds that track the total stock market or
segments of it.
Bond funds
Actively managed short-, intermediate-, or longterm corporate, government, or tax-exempt funds, or
index funds that track the total bond market or segments of it.
Balanced funds
Actively managed or index funds that hold a mix of stocks, bonds, and (sometimes) cash
investments. This type of”all- in-one“fund can automatically maintain your target asset allocation
through a single investment.
HNWI population in India is expected to expand rapidly over the next seven years
Total wealth holdings by HNWI in India is estimated to be US$ 1.5 trillion and is expected
to reach US$ 3 trillion by 2020.
In Asia-Pacific, India is among the top 5 countries in terms of HNWIs
What is an SIP?
A systematic investment plan (SIP) is a way of investing in mutual funds (MFs) in which one
invests a fixed amount every month on a pre-specified date. Almost all mutual fund schemes
provide the facility of SIP. This is a good investing option for a first-time investor who is trying to
bring discipline into his or her investing process.
13
How it works?
Mutual funds provide an option of choosing an SIP either on a monthly or a quarterly mode on a
specific date. Where one opts for a monthly SIP, one can do it by signing 12 post-dated cheques of
equal amounts. Another option is to authorize your bank to debit the amount by filling the
electronic clearing service (ECS) form. If one gives an ECS mandate, the bank will automatically
debit the specific amount every month on a specific date available with the scheme, from your bank
account.
The early birds always have an advantage over those who are off the blocks late. They manage to
save a decent pile for their requirements with much less fuss. Usually, people at young age
undermine the importance of saving small sums of money and keep procrastinating, pushing the
start to a later date. Besides, they often perceive investing as a cumbersome process. This is where
SIP comes in handy; A good way to save through MFs is to set aside a certain amount of one’s
income for them. This, besides helping one make ‘forced savings’, also gives one a financial head
start.
Power of compounding
The rule of the thumb is to invest regularly and keep reinvesting the returns. Compounding is a
simple concept that offers astounding returns in the long run. With simple interest, you earn interest
only on the principal whereas with compounding, you earn interest on the principal and additionally
on the interest. In other words, it’s a way of making your money work harder for you. Let’s
consider what the power of compounding does to an SIP of `500 a month in a scheme
That offers a conservative 12 per cent return, over 30 years. The total investment of `1.80 lakh
(principal) grows to `15.26 lakh over that period.
14
How SIP helps in riding market volatility
An SIP is a regular investment plan available on all kinds of mutual fund schemes, though it works
best with equity schemes. SIPs help the investor make profit from stockmarket volatility by
automatically buying more units when prices are falling and fewer units when prices are rising, thus
lowering the average purchase price.
When one invests through SIPs, he or she buys into the fund at different net asset values (NAVs).
For instance, when the market is rising, the same investment fetches the investor less units at a
higher NAV and when the market is down, the investment buys more units at a lower NAV.
Over long periods of time, investors average out their investments as they
accumulate more in a bear market and less in a bull market. Let’s suppose you were to start an SIP
in a fund in January at the prevailing NAV of `20 for six months. Now, the market goes down for
six months and the NAV comes.
An ETF is an open-ended mutual fund scheme with an objective to track and reflect the
performance of its underlying index. It achieves this through a passive investment strategy of
investing in the same stocks and in the same proportion as they constitute the underlying index.
Investments in ETFs are highly liquid as they are held through a Demat account and can be traded
on a stock exchange like direct equity shares. Also, being passively managed, they have lower
expense ratios in comparison to actively managed mutual funds.
15
What is Bharat 22 ETF?
The government of India, in the Budget speech of 2017, announced its plan to achieve a divestment
target of Rs 72,500 crore in the FY 2017-18. Bharat 22 ETF has been set up as one of its vehicle to
achieve the target. It is an open-ended Exchange Traded Fund which will invest in similar
composition and weightages as they appear in Bharat 22 Index.

INDIAN MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
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 invested by the fund manager in different types of
securities depending upon the objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to debentures
to money market instruments. The income earned through these investments and the capital
appreciations realized by the scheme are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of
units owned by them (pro - rata). 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 portfolio
at a relatively low cost. Anybody with an investible surplus of as little as a few thousand rupees can
invest in Mutual Funds.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations 1993, defines a “mutual fund as a
fund in the form of a trust by a sponsor, to raise money 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”
The asset base of mutual fund industry in India surged 35 per cent to all-time high of ` 18.3 lakh
crore in 2016-17, driven by growing participation from retail investors. The assets under
management (AUM) were at ` 13.53 lakh crore at the end of 2015-16, according to the Association
of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Industry experts attributed growing
participation from retail investors, especially from small towns, huge inflows into equity schemes
and several measures taken by markets regulator SEBI as well as campaigns by asset management
companies (AMCs). The MF industry added more than 67 lakh investor accounts till February of
last financial year which ended on March 31, taking the total number of folios to 5.4 crore. MFs.
60 per cent mutual fund investors use SIPs to invest: SEBI survey
Around 60 per cent of regular mutual fund investors use Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) to
invest in mutual funds, a recent SEBI survey revealed. The survey, called SEBI Investors Survey
(SIS), 2015, highlights many important findings in the mutual funds space. According to the survey,
due to the ease of investing in mutual funds through SIPs along with the diversification benefits,
most investors prefer MFs to equities or bonds. Additionally, the publicity of SIPs and the MF
industry over the past ten years has seen an enormous increase. Mutual fund SIP accounts stood at
1.31 crore as per the latest data by Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), The total amount
collected through SIP during February 2017was 4,050 crore.
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
21
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. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund.
This mutual fund association of India maintains a high professional and ethical standard in all areas
of operation of the industry.
It also recommends and promotes the top class business practices and code of conduct
which is followed by members and related people engaged in the activities of mutual fund
and asset management. The agencies who are by any means connected or involved in the
field of capital markets and financial services also involved in this code of the association.
AMFI interacts with SEBI and works according to SEBI’s guidelines in the Mutual fund
industry.
Associations of Mutual Fund of India do represent the Government of India, the Reserve
Bank of India and other related bodies on matters relating to the Mutual Fund Industry.
It develops a team of well qualified and trained Agent distributors. It implements a
programmer of training and certification for all intermediaries and other engaged in the
mutual fund industry.

Open Ended Schemes

Interval Schemes
Open-end schemes are open for investors to enter or exit at any time, even after the NFO.
When existing investors buy additional units or new investors buy units of the open-end
scheme, it is called a sale transaction (or subscription). It happens at a sale price, which is
equal to the NAV.
When investors choose to return any of their units to the scheme and get back their
equivalent value, it is called a re-purchase transaction (or redemption). This happens at a re-
purchase price (or redemption price) that is linked to the NAV.
Closed-end funds have a fixed maturity. Investors can buy units of a closed-end scheme,
from the fund, only during its NFO. Thereafter, they can be transacted in the stock exchange
Actively managed funds are funds where the fund manager has the flexibility to choose the
investment portfolio, within the broad parameters of the investment objective of the scheme.
Passive fund invests on the basis of a specified index, whose performance it seeks to track.
Such funds are also called index funds. These have low running costs.
The index on which a passively managed scheme is constructed, is called its benchmark.
Similarly, even active schemes have a benchmark – a standard against which scheme
performance can be compared.
A scheme might have an investment objective to invest largely in equity shares and equity-
related investments like convertible debentures. Such schemes are called equity schemes.
Schemes with an investment objective that limits them to investments in debt securities like
Treasury Bills, Government Securities, Bonds and Debentures are called debt funds or
income funds.
Hybrid funds have an investment charter that provides for a reasonable level of investment
in both debt and equity.
Fixed maturity plans (FMPs) are a kind of debt fund, where the investment portfolio is
closely aligned to the maturity of the scheme. Their portfolio construction gives more clarity
to investors on the likely returns if they stay invested in the scheme until its maturity. This
helps them compare the returns with alternative investments like bank deposits. However,
the returns in a FMP are subject to market risk until they mature, and credit risk too.
24
CLASSIFICATION AND TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND
Equity Funds: Equity funds are considered to be the more risky funds as compared to other
fund types, but they also provide higher returns than other funds. It is advisable that an
investor looking to invest in an equity fund should invest for long term i.e. for 3 years or
more.
Money Market / Liquid Funds: Money market / liquid funds invest in short-term
(maturing within one year) interest bearing debt instruments. These securities are highly
liquid and provide safety of investment, thus making money market / liquid funds the safest
investment option when compared with other mutual fund types.
Hybrid Funds: As the name suggests, hybrid funds are those funds whose portfolio
includes a blend of equities, debts and money market securities. Hybrid funds have an equal
proportion of debt and equity in their portfolio.
Debt / Income Funds: Funds that invest in medium to long-term debt instruments issued by
private companies, banks, financial institutions, governments and other entities belonging to
various sectors (like infrastructure companies etc.) are known as Debt / Income Funds. Debt
funds are low risk profile funds that seek to generate fixed current income (and not capital
appreciation) to investors. In order to ensure regular income to investors, debt (or income)
funds distribute large fraction of their surplus to investors.
Gilt Funds: Gilt Funds invest in government papers (named dated securities) having
medium to long term maturity period. Issued by the Government of India, these investments
have little credit risk (risk of default) and provide safety of principal to the investors.
Commodity Funds: Those funds that focus on investing in different commodities (like
metals, food grains, crude oil etc.) or commodity companies or commodity futures contracts
are termed as Commodity Funds. A commodity fund that invests in a single commodity or a
group of commodities is a specialized commodity fund and a commodity fund that invests in
all available commodities is a diversified commodity fund and bears less risk than a
specialized commodity fund. "Precious Metals Fund" and Gold Funds (that invest in gold,
gold futures or shares of gold mines) are common examples of commodity funds.
Real Estate Funds: Funds that invest directly in real estate or lend to real estate developers
or invest in shares/securitized assets of housing finance companies, are known as
Specialized Real Estate Funds. The objective of these funds may be to generate regular
income for investors or capital appreciation.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Exchange Traded Funds provide investors with
combined benefits of a closed-end and an open-end mutual fund. Exchange Traded Funds
follow stock market indices and are traded on stock exchanges like a single stock at index
25
linked prices. The biggest advantage offered by these funds is that they offer diversification,
flexibility of holding a single share (tradable at index linked prices) at the same time.
Recently introduced in India, these funds are quite popular abroad.
Fund of Funds: Mutual funds that do not invest in financial or physical assets, but do
invest in other mutual fund schemes offered by different AMCs, are known as Fund of
Funds. Fund of Funds maintain a portfolio comprising of units of other mutual fund
schemes, just like conventional mutual funds maintain a portfolio comprising of
equity/debt/money market instruments or non financial assets.
1. Track Record
When deciding to opt for new fund offers, one has to look at the track record of the fund in terms of
returns and performance in various market conditions. A consistent track record is more important
than a few record breaking instances.
Expense ratio indicates the ratio of the funds operating expenses in relation to the total assets under
management. Generally this is indicated in % terms. The expense ratio for index funds such as
HDFC Nifty Fund is around 1%, and this is generally in the range of 1-2% for most index funds
barring few exceptions.
Mutual fund schemes do not pay a tax on their capital gains or losses. Similarly, they do not pay tax
on their net income i.e. income minus expenses. However, schemes incur Securities Transaction
Tax (STT) on their equity market related transactions. When a debt scheme distributes dividend to
its unit-holders, it has to pay an Additional Tax of Income Distribution (in the market it is
26
commonly referred to as “Dividend Distribution Tax” or DDT). Since the tax payment reduces the
NAV, scheme returns are affected. This is an indirect cost for the unit holder.
The dividend that the unit-holder receives is however exempt from tax in the case of both equity
and debt schemes.
Mutual fund schemes do not pay a tax on their capital gains or losses.
Mutual fund schemes do not pay tax on their net income i.e. income minus expenses.
When a debt scheme distributes dividend to its unit-holders, it has to pay an Additional Tax
of Income Distribution (DDT).
The dividend that the unit-holder receives is exempt from tax for both equity and debt
schemes.
Both documents are prepared in the format prescribed by SEBI, and submitted to SEBI.

Demat Account
Dematerialisation is a process whereby an investor’s holding of investments in physical form
(paper), is converted into a digital record. Benefit of holding investments in demat form is that
investors’ purchase and sale of investments get automatically added or subtracted from their
investment demat account, without having to execute cumbersome paperwork. Settlement of most
transactions in the stock exchange needs to be compulsorily done in demat form.
The benefits of demat facility for mutual fund investors have increased, with National Stock
Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange making available screen-based platforms for purchase and
sale of mutual fund schemes.
Paperwork in buying or selling the units, and correspondingly, accepting or giving delivery of the
units is minimized.
Bonus and rights units that the investor is entitled to, are directly credited into the investor’s
demat account.
For all demat units (or shares), change of address or other details need to be given only to
the DP, instead of separately to every mutual fund (or company) where the investor has
invested.
The investor also has the option to convert the demat units into physical form. This process
is called ‘re-materialization’.
28
INVESTMENT SERVICES
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
It is considered to be a good practice to invest regularly. SIP is an approach where the investor
invests constant amounts at regular intervals. A benefit of such an approach, particularly in equity
schemes, is that it averages the unit-holder’s cost of acquisition.
Suppose an investor were to invest Rs 1,000 per month for 6 months. If, in the first month, the
NAV is Rs 10, the investor will be allotted Rs 1,000 ÷ Rs 10 i.e. 100 units. In the second month, if
the NAV has gone up to Rs 12, the allotment of units will go down to Rs 1,000 ÷ Rs 12 i.e. 83.333
units. If the NAV goes down to Rs 9 in the following month, the unit-holder will be allotted a
higher number of Rs 1,000 ÷ Rs 9 i.e. 111.111 units.
Thus, the investor acquires his Units closer to the average of the NAV on the 6 transaction dates
during the 6 month period. This is why this approach is also called Rupee Cost Averaging.
Just as investors do not want to buy all their units at a market peak, they do not want all their units
redeemed in a market trough. Investors can therefore opt for the safer route of offering for re-
purchase, a constant value of units.
Suppose an investor were to offer for re-purchase Rs 1,000 per month for 6 months. If, in the first
month, the NAV is Rs 10, the investor’s unit-holding will be reduced by Rs 1,000 ÷ Rs 10 i.e. 100
units. In the second month, if the NAV has gone up to Rs 12, the unit-holding will go down by
fewer units viz. Rs 1,000 ÷ Rs 12 i.e. 83.333 units. If the NAV goes down to Rs 9 in the following
month, the unit-holder will be offering for re-purchase a higher number of units viz. Rs 1,000 ÷ Rs
9 i.e. 111.111 units.
29
Triggers
It is not uncommon for investors to regret missed opportunities of buying or selling because they
could not give the requisite instructions in time. This is addressed through the trigger option that is
available for some schemes.
For instance, an investor can specify that the units would be re-purchased if the market reaches a
particular level. In that case, once the market reaches that level, his units would be re-purchased,
without the need for going through a separate re-purchase documentation. It stands to reason that if
the market continues to go up after the trigger is actioned, the investor loses on the further gain.
Similarly, an investor can set a trigger to transfer moneys from a liquid scheme into an equity
scheme when the market goes down, say, 20%. This would help the investor conveniently increase
his position in equities, when the market goes down 20%.
Investors should study the conditions attached to trigger options (and any other value added
30
Diversification: Successful investors know that diversifying their investments can
help reduce the adverse impact of a single investment. Mutual funds introduce diversify
action to your investment portfolio automatically by holding a wide variety of securities.
Variety: Within the broad categories of stock, bond, and money market funds, you can
choose among a variety of investment approaches. Today, there are about 8,200 mutual
funds available in the U.S., with goals and styles to fi t most objectives and
circumstances.
Low Costs: Mutual funds usually hold dozens or even hundreds of securities like
stocks and bonds. The primary way you pay for this service is through a fee that is based
on the total value of your account.
Liquidity: Liquidity is the ability to readily access your money in an investment.
Mutual fund shares are liquid investments that can be sold on any business day. Mutual
funds are required by law to buy, or redeem, shares each business day.
Convenience : You can purchase or sell fund shares directly from a fund or through a
broker, financial planner, bank or insurance agent, by mail, over the telephone, and
increasingly by personal computer.
Stock Funds
Stock funds invest primarily in stocks. A share of stock represents a unit of ownership in a
company. If a Company is successful, shareholders can profi t in two ways: the stock may increase
in value, or the company can pass its profit is to shareholders in the form of dividends. If a
company fails, a shareholder can lose the Entire value of his or her shares; however, a shareholder
is not liable for the debts of the company.
The upswings and downturns of the stock market affect stock fund returns. Despite a history of
outperforming other types of securities, stocks sometimes lose money (see chart below).Sometimes
these losses can be substantial and last for long periods. The average annual return on stocks from
1926 to 2005 is about 10.4 percent
Bond Funds
Bond funds invest primarily in securities known as bonds. A bond is a type of security that
resembles a loan. When a bond is purchased; money is lent to the company, municipality, or
government agency that issued the bond. In exchange for the use of this money, the issuer promises
to repay the amount loaned (the principal; also known as the face value of the bond) on a specific
c maturity date. In addition, the issuer typically promises to make periodic interest payments over
the life of the loan.
31
While dividend option on debt fund works for those looking for regular income, all other investors
should invest in growth option.
Theoretically, there is an argument that a dividend option is better as the dividends are tax free in
the hands of the unit holder. But then you are in the mutual fund for the long haul as you can earn
attractive returns on equity mutual funds only if you hold for a period of over five years. In case of
capital gains, long term is defined as one year. Thus any sale of mutual funds after one year results
in long term capital gains and do not attract any tax. Thus for a long term investor the tax-free
dividend argument does not hold much water.
Factor 3 – Are you using the mutual fund to meet specific life goals?
The best way to handle your mutual fund portfolio is to earmark specific portfolios for specific
needs. For example you need to plan for paying the margin money on your car, the margin money
on your house or for taking a foreign vacation in the short term. In the distant future you need to
plan for your child’s education, their marriage, your retirement etc. When you have earmarked
specific funds for specific needs it is always advisable to opt for a growth option. This growth
option will give you the best benefits of compounding over a long term as the reinvestment of
returns will happen automatically.
This is an important factor determining whether you must opt for a growth option or a dividend
plan. While dividends on equity funds can be erratic based on performance, dividends on debt funds
are more regular and predictable. In case you are looking at getting regular incomes through
investment in debt funds, you can go for a dividend option. Unlike in case of equity funds, debt
funds are not used for long term wealth creation but more for safety or principal and assured
income streams. Since the holding period for capital gains treatment is 3 years in case of debt funds,
one can opt for a dividend scheme, especially if one is looking at regular income from the mutual
fund investment.
32
Factor 5 – Do you intend to take loan against mutual fund units.
Today, most banks and finance companies offer you loans against mutual fund units. Normally, in
case of equity funds you can get loan against mutual fund units with a 50% haircut of the NAV
value of your mutual fund holdings. In case of a growth plan, you will automatically get a higher
Loan to Value (LTV) and that will be beneficial for you in getting higher leverage eligibility. This
can also be a consideration to opt for growth plans of mutual funds
INSURANCE
Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of loss to life and
property. Insurance is a collective bearing of risk. Insurance spreads the risks and losses of few
people among a large number of people as people prefer small fixed liability instead of big
uncertain and changing liability. Insurance is a scheme of economic cooperation by which members
of the community share the unavoidable risks. Insurance is the claimed to be the best option for
investment. It is a form of investment that is stable as long as the premiums are paid. In case of life
insurance, for example, your beneficiary will obtain a death benefit upon an event of your untimely
demise. This benefit is called "face value" and the premiums that need to be paid should surpass its
value. The additional funds go into an account and are invested by the insurance corporation on
your behalf, which means that if the insurance investment is profitable, the cash account will
augment over the years.
1. Income guaranteed through annuities: Life indemnity is one of the ideal tools for
retirement preparation. Funds that are earned and hoarded during the lifetime are utilized to
supply a firm source of returns during the retirement period.
2. Dividends enable growth: Customary policies enable prospect to share in the monetary
increase without taking the risk of investment. The investment revenue is shared out among
the policyholders through yearly announcement of bonus and/or dividends.
33
3. Risk guard: Because life is filled with uncertainties, life insurance guarantees that your
dear ones continue to have monetary back up in case of any unexpected incident that may
lead to your detriment or demise.
4. Tax benefits: Insurance plans offer tax-benefits that are appealing for both at the entry and
exit period under the majority of the plan.
5. Mortgage recovery: In case of demise of the policyholder who has unpaid loans and
mortgages, the insurance acts as an efficient instrument to cover up these charges, removing
the burden of repayment of the family.
1. Performance Ranking
More than the recent or performance of any scheme its ranking among peers should be looked at.
To find out the ranking you need to check out the quartile ranking which will show how the fund
has performed quarter on quarter among its peer group. In quartile ranking each quartile comprises
of 25 percent of peer group schemes.
2. Ratio analysis
Risk and return ratios like standard deviation, Sharpe ratio etc. I have discussed in my earlier article
on Measuring Mutual funds risk. Along with those ratios, one also should check out the ALPHA of
the fund. Alpha tells us what extra or less the fund manager has generated out of a given portfolio
in comparison to benchmark.
Expense ratio is very important parameter to be looked at while selecting any mutual fund
scheme. All fund management and distribution related expenses are borne by the scheme.
This means high expense ratio will affect the fund’s returns. Though mutual fund’s total
expense ratio has been capped by SEBI, still lower the better unless we get some
extraordinary return by paying higher expenses for fund management.
34
4. Fund manager tenure and experience
Fund manager plays a very important role in the fund’s performance. Though it is a process
oriented approach but still fund manager is the ultimate decision maker and his experience and view
point counts a lot. You should know who is the fund manager of the scheme and what is his past
track record.
This parameter is different for debt and equity schemes. In equity the comfortable asset size in
hundreds of crores, in debt it should be in thousands of crores as the investment value per investor
is higher in debt funds. 90 percent of total assets under management (AUM) of the mutual fund
industry are invested in debt funds, so your selected scheme assets should also have a considerable
AUM.
Less AUM in any scheme is very risky as you don’t know who the investors are and what quantum
of investments they have in this particular scheme.

Interpretation:
Different types of mutual funds have different levels of volatility and those with the
greater chance of losing value are also the funds that can produce the greater returns
for you over a period of time.
So risk has two sides: it causes the value of your investments to fluctuate, but it is
precisely the reason you can expect to earn higher returns.
There is a huge market volatility effect the fund’s performance. In short span
of three months. Kotak Select Focus Fund – Gr it gives 20.30 in the last 5 year of
JAN-MAR 2017 quarter. But in the next Quarter it gives 20.73 returns.
In the JAN-MAR 2017 quarter ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund Gr was
given 15.91 returns and it ranked in number 26th but in the next Quarter it gives 22.20
Returns and ranked at top 1.

CHAPTER VI
FINDING
55
MOST CONSISTENT FUND
56
CHAPTER VII
SUGGESTIONS
57
Recommendations:
Equity returns have the potential of being much higher but can be volatile.
However, the volatility of equity is a relatively short-term phenomenon.
For periods exceeding three to five years, equity investments are extremely
likely to give strong positive returns.
I come to conclusion result that investor should not only focus on Return and
Rank, it must be focus on consistency of the fund. For better result in long
term.
Likewise on this data analysis Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund – Gr is more
consistent fund in two quarter.
58
*Large Cap: Fund having percentage holding of large cap stock more than or equal to 70% of
the portfolio.
*Rank:
*Quartile:
If a scheme remains in first or second quartile for all the given periods, then
the performance of the scheme is considered as consistent & above average.
59
CHAPTER VIII
CONCLUSION
60
Among large cap equity mutual fund Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund – Gr is
perform well in a two quarter. Whereas ICICI Prudential Value Discovery Fund Gr and
Kotak Select Focus Fund – Gr has less consistency level.
There is a lot of opportunity in the mutual fund industry, the NJ has to create more
awareness among the public and give more advertisements in the print and digital
media.
