MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
INTRODUCTION
Mutual Funds are professionally managed pool of money from a group of investors. A
Mutual Fund manager invests your funds in securities including stocks and bonds, Money
Market instruments or some combination and decides the best time to buy and sell. By
polling your resources with other investors in Mutual Funds, you can diversify even a
small investment over a wide spectrum.
With the emergence of the capital market at the center stage of the Indian financial
system from its marginal role a decade earlier, the Indian capital market also witnessed
during the same period a significant institutional development in the form of diversified
structure of Mutual Funds. A Mutual fund is a special type of investment institution
which acts as an investment conduit.
It pools the savings, particularly of the relatively small investors, and invests them in a
well-diversified portfolio of sound investment. As an investment intermediary, it offers a
variety of services/advantages to the relatively small investors who on their own cannot
successfully construct and manage investment portfolio mainly due to the small size of
their funds, lack of expertise and experience, and so on. These services include the
diversification of portfolio, expertise of the professional management, liquidity of
investment, tax shelter, reduced risk and reduced cost.
Mutual fund is the most suitable investment mode for the common man as it offers an
opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed portfolio at a relatively low
cost. Any body with an investible surplus of as little as a few thousand rupees can invest
in mutual funds. Each Mutual fund scheme has a defined investment objective and
strategy.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The data that is considered for the Comparative analysis of various Mutual Funds
returns of Open-Ended Balanced Growth Fund are only for a short period of one
year and performance during this period may not be same in future. Project period is
only 45 days , so I have taken two months portfolios into consideration
As the project period is limited, the long-term data of Mutual Funds are not taken
into consideration in analysis section.
Mutual Funds of only five organizations are taken into account for analyzing their
performance, because the time duration of the project is short and limited. The
performance of these funds since inception is not considered.
This study on Mutual Funds is restricted to Open-Ended Balanced Schemes only.
The core details are untouched.
The data taken into account for analysis is very general. Confidential data is
ignored as it is highly sensitive. As a result the information presented in the research
report is limited.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
According to SEBI - Mutual Fund is defined as - A fund established in the form of a
trust to raise moneys through the sale of units to the public or a section of the public
under one or more schemes for investing in securities, including money market
instruments.
Mutual Fund is a mechanism for pooling the resources by issuing units to the investors
and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as disclosed in the offer
document.
DEFINITION
A Mutual Fund is a financial intermediary which acts as an instrument of investment. It
collects the funds from different investors to a common pool of investible funds and then
invests these funds in a wide variety of investment opportunities in diversified portfolios
of securities such as Money Markets instrument, corporate and government bonds and
equity shares of joint stock companies.
The investment may be diversified to spread risk and to ensure good return to the
investors. The Mutual Funds employ professional, experts and investment consultants to
conduct investment analysis and then to select the portfolio of securities where the funds
are to be invested.
Each investor owns units, which represent a portion of the holdings of the fund. You can
make money from a MF in three ways
Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A Fund pays out
nearly all income it receives over the year to fund owners in the form of a distribution.
If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital gain.
Most funds also pass on these gains to investors in the form of dividends.
9
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction
10/90
MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
If fund holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the funds
shares increase in price. You can then sell your Mutual Fund units for a profit. Funds
will also usually give you a choice either to receive a cheque for dividends or to re-
invest the same and get more units.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MUTUAL FUNDS
A Mutual Fund actually belongs to the investors who have pooled their funds. The
ownership of the Mutual Fund is in the hands of the investors.
Mutual funds are trusts or registered associations managed by investment
professionals and other service providers, who earn a fee for their services from the
fund.
The pools of the funds are invested in a portfolio of marketable investments
(Shares and Securities). The value of the portfolio is updated everyday.
Mutual funds collect money from small investors and in return, they will issue a
certificate in units.
The investors share in the fund is denoted by UNITS". The value of the units
changes with the change in the portfolios value every day.
The profits of investments will be distributed to the unit holders. The unit holders
can sell their units in the open market at Net Asset Value (NAV).
15
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction
16/90
MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV)
Mutual Funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities markets. In
simple words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the securities scheme also varies on
day to day basis. The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided
by the total number of units of the scheme on any particular date. The performance of a
particular scheme of a Mutual Fund is denoted by Net Asset Value.
For example; if the market value of securities of a MF Scheme is Rs. 200 lakhs and the
Mutual Fund has issued 10 lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the NAV per
unit of the fund is Rs. 20. NAV is required to be disclosed by the MF on a regular basis
daily or weekly depending on the type of scheme.
NAV = Market value of the funds investments + Receivables + Accrued Income
Liabilities Accrued Expenses
Number of Outstanding units

SCHEMES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual fund schemes are usually open-ended (Perpetually open for investors and
redemption) or close-ended (with a fixed term). A Mutual Fund scheme issues units that
are normally priced at Rs.10/- during the initial offer. The number of units you own
against the total number of units issued by a Mutual Fund scheme determines your share
in the profits or losses in the scheme.
TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES
The Mutual Funds can be classified under the following types
ACCORDING TO STRUCTURE
OPEN - ENDED SCHEME
An open-ended scheme is a scheme in which an investor can buy and sell units on a daily
basis. The scheme has a perpetual existence and flexible, ever changing corpus. Open-
Ended schemes do not have a fixed maturity period. The investors are free to buy and sell
any number of units, at any point of time, at prices that are linked to the NAV of the units.

7/29/2019 Project From Introduction

MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
In these schemes the investor can invest and disinvest any amount, any time after a short
initial lock in period.
Advantages of Open-ended funds over Close-ended funds
Any time Entry Option.
This provides ready liquidity to the investors and avoids reliance on transfer
deeds, signature verifications and bad deliveries.
Allows to enter the fund at any time and even to invest at regular intervals.
Any time Exit Option.
CLOSE ENDED SCHEME
A Close-ended scheme has a stipulated maturity period. E.g. 5-7 years. A Close-ended
scheme is one in which the subscription period for the Mutual Fund remains open only
for a specific period, called the redemption period. At the end of this period, the entire
corpus is disinvested and the proceeds distributed to unit holders. After final distribution
the scheme ceases to exist. Such schemes can be rolled over by approval of unit holders.
Reasons for fluctuations in NAV
Investors doubts about the abilities of the funds management.
Lack of sales effort (Brokers earn less commission on closed end schemes than on
open ended schemes).
Riskiness of the fund.
Lack of marketability of the funds units.
INTERVAL SCHEMES
18
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction

Interval schemes are those that combine both the features of both open-ended and close-
ended schemes. The units may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale
redemption during during predetermined intervals at NAV related prices.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
The key advantages of both open and close-end Mutual Funds is that they put
professional managers with experience and access to sophisticated financial research to
work for you this, and other wide range of key benefits are as follows
Professional Management
Experienced portfolio managers carefully select a funds holdings according to the funds
seated investment objective. The portfolio management team continuously monitors and
evaluates the funds holdings to help make sure it keeps pace with changing market
conditions. The team decides when to buy and sell securities. There is a fee associated
with this professional management.
Diversification
A Single diversified Mutual Fund may invest in dozens even hundreds of different
holdings. This approach may reduce the impact on your return if any one investment held
by the fund declines. Diversification spreads your assets among different types of
21
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction

MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
holdings and may be one of the best ways to protect yourself amid the complexity and
uncertainty of the financial markets.
Compounding
In a Mutual Fund, you may choose to reinvest your earnings automatically to buy more
shares. When you reinvest, not only do you have the potential to earn money on your
initial investment, you may also have the opportunity to earn money on the dividends and
capital gains you accumulate. of what you contribute and can help your money grow
faster. And the longer you invest, the greater the potential growth.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTING
You can invest in most mutual funds automatically through regular payments directly
from your bank account; you can start building a long-term investment program. With
systematic investing you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals regardless of
market conditions, helping out market fluctuations.
Hassle-free operations
With most Mutual Funds, buying and selling shares, changing distribution options, and
obtaining information can be accomplished conveniently by telephone, by mail, or online.
Although a funds shareholder is relieved of the day-to-day tasks involved in researching,
buying and selling securities, an investor will still need to evaluate a Mutual Fund based
on investment goals and risk tolerance before making a purchase decision. Investors
should always read the prospectus carefully before investing in any Mutual Fund.
Buying Power
22
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction
23/90
MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
When you invest in a mutual fund, you join the other investors in a pool of investment
money. The result is that you have a partial stake in each company the fund holds for
a relatively small amount of principal invested, while potentially offsetting some of the
risk associated with holding individual securities.
Choice
There is an incredible array of mutual funds more than 10,000 available to meet your
specific Investment objective. Funds have different investment objectives and degrees of
investment risk often indicated through asset classes and sub-classes, such as money
market funds, fixed income funds, balanced funds, growth and income funds, growth
funds and aggressive growth funds.
Liquidity
Mutual fund shares are liquid and orders to buy or sell are placed during market hours.
However, orders are not executed until the close of business when the NAV (Net Asset
Value) of the fund can be determined. Fees or commissions may or may not be
applicable. Fees and commissions are determined by the specific fund and the Institution
that executes the order.
Transparency
You get regular information on the value of your investments in addition to disclosure on
the specific investments made by your scheme, the proportion invested in each class of
assets and the fund managers investment strategy and outlook.

In 1996, the National Stock Exchange of India launched S&P CNX Nifty and CNX
Junior Indices that make up 100 most liquid stocks in India. CNX Nifty is a diversified
index of 50 stocks from 25 different economy sectors. The Indices are owned and
managed by India Index Services and Products Ltd (IISL) that has a consulting and
licensing agreement with Standard & Poor's.
In 1998, the National Stock Exchange of India launched its web-site and was the first
exchange in India that started trading stock on the Internet in 2000. The NSE has also
proved its leadership in the Indian financial market by gaining many awards such as 'Best
IT Usage Award' by Computer Society in India (in 1996 and 1997) and CHIP Web
Award by CHIP magazine (1999).
The NSE is owned by the group of leading financial institutions such as Indian Bank or
Life Insurance Corporation of India. However, in the totally de-metalized Exchange, the
ownership as well as the management does not have a right to trade on the Exchange.
Only qualified traders can be involved in the securities trading.
The NSE is one of the few exchanges in the world trading all types of securities on a
single platform, which is divided into three segments: Wholesale Debt Market (WDM),
Capital Market (CM), and Futures & Options (F&O) Market.
Each segment has experienced a significant growth throughout a few years of their
launch. While the WDM segment has accumulated the annual growth of over 36% since
its opening in 1994, the CM segment has increased by even 61% during the same period.
The National Stock Exchange of India has stringent requirements and criteria for the
companies listed on the Exchange. Minimum capital requirements, project appraisal, and

NSE Nifty
The S&P CNX Nifty (nicknamed Nifty 50 or simply Nifty), is the leading index for large
companies on the National Stock Exchange of India. S&P CNX Nifty is a well diversified
50 stock index accounting for 22 sectors of the economy. It is used for a variety of
purposes such as benchmarking fund portfolios, index based derivatives and index funds.
Nifty was developed by the economists Ajay Shah and Susan Thomas, then at IGIDR.
Later on, it came to be owned and managed by India Index Services and Products Ltd.

company focused upon the index as a core product. IISL have a consulting and licensing
agreement with Standard & Poor's (S&P), who are world leaders in index services.
CNX stands for CRISIL NSE Indices. CNX ensures common branding of indices, to
reflect the identities of both the promoters, i.e. NSE and CRISIL. Thus, 'C' stands for
CRISIL, 'N' stands for NSE and X stands for Exchange or Index. The S&P prefix belongs
to the US-based Standard & Poor's Financial Information Services.

An informal group of 22 stockbrokers began trading under a banyan tree opposite the
Town Hall of Bombay from the mid-1850s, 1875, was formally organized as the Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE).In January 1899, the stock exchange moved into the Brokers Hall
after it was inaugurated by James M MacLean. After the First World War, the BSE was
shifted to an old building near the Town Hall. In 1956, the Government of India
recognized the Bombay Stock Exchange as the first stock exchange in the country under
the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act.1995, when it was replaced by an electronic
(eTrading) system named BOLT, or the BSE Online Trading system. In 2005, the status
of the exchange changed from an Association of Persons (AoP) to a full fledged
corporation under the BSE (Corporatization and Demutualization) Scheme, 2005 (and its
name was changed to The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited).
BSE Sensex
The BSE SENSEX (also known as the BSE 30) is a value-weighted index composed of
30 scrips, with the base April 1979 = 100. The set of companies which make up the index
has been changed only a few times in the last 20 years. These companies account for
around one-fifth of the market capitalization of the BSE.
SENSEX, first compiled in 1986 was calculated on a "Market Capitalization-Weighted"
methodology of 30 component stocks representing a sample of large, well-established and
financially sound companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79. The index is widely
reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic
media. SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted
construction and review methodology. From September 2003, the SENSEX is calculated
on a free-float market capitalization methodology. The "free-float MarketCapitalization-

Weighted"methodology is a widely followed index construction methodology on which
majority of global equity benchmarks are based.
The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right
from early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull
and bear runs. More recently, the bourses in India witnessed a similar frenzy in the 'TMT'
sectors. The SENSEX captured all these happenings in the most judicial manner. One can
identify the booms and bust of the Indian equity market through SENSEX.
.
SENSEX calculation
SENSEX is calculated using a "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology. As per
this methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the total market value of
30 component stocks relative to a base period. (The market capitalization of a company is
determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the
company). An index of a set of combined variables (such as price and number of shares)
is commonly referred as a 'Composite Index' by statisticians. A single indexed number is
used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work
with and track over time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on indexed values than
one based on actual values.
The base period of SENSEX is 1978-79. The actual total market value of the stocks in the
Index during the base period has been set equal to an indexed value of 100. This is often
indicated by the notation 1978-79=100. The formula used to calculate the Index is fairly
straightforward. However, the calculation of the adjustments to the Index (commonly
called Index maintenance) is more complex.
The calculation of SENSEX involves dividing the total market capitalization of 30
40
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction
41/90
MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
companies in the Index by a number called the Index Divisor. The Divisor is the only link
to the original base period value of the SENSEX. It keeps the Index comparable over time
and is the adjustment point for all Index maintenance adjustments. During market hours,
prices of the index scrips, at which latest trades are executed, are used by the trading
system to calculate SENSEX every 15 seconds and disseminated in real time. During
market hours, prices of the index scrips, at which trades are executed, are automatically
used by the trading computer to calculate the SENSEX every 15 seconds and
continuously updated on all trading workstations connected to the BSE trading computer
in real time.
BSE - other Indices
Apart from BSE SENSEX, which is the most popular stock index in India, BSE uses
other stock indices as well:
BSE 500
BSE PSU
BSE MIDCAP
BSE SMLCAP
BSE BANKEX
The most important trend in the Mutual Fund industry is the aggressive expansion of the
foreign owned Mutual Fund companies and the decline of the companies floated by
nationalized banks and smaller private sector players.

Funds issue and redeem shares on demand at the fund's net asset value (NAV). Mutual
fund management fees typically range between 0.5% and 2% of assets per year, exchange
fees and other administrative charges also apply.
GROWTH AND HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS
The First investment trust (now called Mutual Fund) began in the Netherlands in the early
1800s. The first in the U.S. was the New York Stock Trust, which started in 1889. Since
Boston was the economic center of the nation until the turn of the century, the majority of
funds started thereFidelity, Pioneer and Putnum Fund, to name a few. A Fund that was
comprised of both stocks and bonds (the Wellington Fund) started in 1928 and is still part
of Vanguard. As the 20's crashed to a close, there were 10 Mutual Funds in the nation.
Foundation for the Mutual Fund in India was laid by the parliament in 1963. With the
enactment of Unit Trust of India (UTI) Act the then Finance Minister Mr. T.T.
Krishnamacharya who initiated the act made it clear to the parliament act UTI would
provide an opportunity for the middle and lower income groups to acquire property
in the form of share. Thus UTI came out with the mission of catering to the needs of
individuals investors whose means are small, with its maiden fund, an open ended fund in
1964.

MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
The Indian Mutual Fund Industry can be studied in four phases
FIRST PHASE BETWEEN 1964 1987
The genesis of the Mutual Fund industry in India can be traced back to 1964 with the
setting up of the Unit Trust of India (UTI) by the Government of India. Since then UTI
has grown to be a dominant player in the industry. UTI is governed by a special
legislation, the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963. It was setup by the Reserve Bank of India
and functioned under the regulatory and administrative control of RBI. In 1978, UTI was
de-linked from the RBI and the administrative control in place of RBI.
SECOND PHASE 1987-1993(Entry of Public Sector Funds)
Till 1986, UTI was the only mutual player in India. The industry was opened up for wider
participation in 1987 when public sector banks and insurance companies were permitted
to setup Mutual Funds.
Since then, many public sector banks have setup Mutual Funds. SBI Mutual Fund was
the first non-UTI Mutual Funds established in June 1987 followed by can bank Mutual
Funds, Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund, India bank Mutual Funds, Bank of India,
Bank of Boroda Mutual Funds. Also the two Insurance companies LIC (June 1987) and
GIC (December 1990) have established Mutual Funds. At the end of 1993, the Mutual
Fund industry had assets under management of Rs. 47004 crores. This phase changed the
mind set of the investors.
THIRD PHASE 1993-2003
With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian Mutual
Fund Industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993
43
7/29/2019 Project From Introduction
44/90
MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
was the year in which the first Mutual Funds regulations came into being, under which all
Mutual Funds, except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari
Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first sector Mutual Fund
registered in July 1993.
Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) formulated the Mutual Fund (Regulation)
1993, which for the first time established a comprehensive regulatory framework for the
Mutual Fund Industry. Since then several Mutual Funds have been setup by the private
and joint sectors.
FOURTH PHASE - Since February 2003
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India act 1963, UTI was
bifurcated into separate entities. One is the specified undertaking of the UTI with asset
under management of Rs. 29835 crores as at the end of January 2003, representing
broadly, the assets of US 64 schemes, assured return and certain other schemes.
The second is UTI Mutual Fund ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is
registered in SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund regulations. With the bifurcation
of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs. 76000 crores of assets
under management and with the setting up of the UTI Mutual Fund. At the end of
October 31, 2006 there were 39 funds which manage assets of Rs. 176726 crores under
426 schemes.

Trading Centers outside the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad but also to link
itself into the inter-connected market system (ECMS) proposed by the federation of
Indian Stock Exchange (FISE) to inter-connect various Regional Stock Exchanges in
various States.
In the age of electronic Trading on-line information on rates from other major markets
was an essential input for efficiency. HSE provided on-line rates from BSE and NSE

which not only enhanced the ability of HOST terminals to attract the investors but also
enable the members to avail arbitraging opportunities between Exchanges.
Clearing Houses
The Exchange set-up a Clearing House to collect the Securities from all the Members and
distribute to each member, all the securities due in respect of every settlement. The whole
of the operations of the Clearing House were also computerized.
Inter-Connected Market System (ICMS)
The HSE was the convener of a committee constituted by the Federation of Indian Stock
Exchanges for implementing an Inter-connected by Market System (ICMS) in which the
Screen Based Training System of Various Stock Exchanges was inter-connected to create
a large National Market. SEBI welcomed the creation of ICMS.
The HOST provided the networks for HSE to hook itself into the ISE. The ISE provided
the members of HSE and their investors, access to a large National network of Stock
Exchange.
The inter-connected Stock Exchanges is a National Exchange and all HSE members could
have Trading terminals with access to the National market without any fee, which was a
boon to the members of an exchange to have the Trading rights on a National Stock
Exchange (NSE), without any fee or expenditure.
Stock Brokers Insurance Policy
HSE had taken a comprehensive Stock Brokers Insurance Policy covering the members to
an extent of Rs.10 lakhs each and also insured the Clearing house. HSE was one of the
few to have such comprehensive Insurance policy coverage.

Note: Reasons for taking two months portfolio details in above mentioned fund are
If you observe two months portfolio November and December, you can see some
differences in values. Reason is Fund Manager will churn portfolio every month. So asset
allocation changes every month. But investors units will be same.
Portfolio of equity is 66.38%, but the above portfolio shows less than 66.38% reason, is
here I have taken only 10 sectors for every fund. This will not get any affect for the
analysis.

MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS
We are interested in discovering if the management of a mutual fund is performing well;
that is, has management done better through its selective buying and selling of securities
than would have been achieved through merely buying the market picking a large
number of securities randomly and holding them throughout the period?
One of the most popular ways of measuring managements performance is by comparing
the yields for the managed portfolio with the market or with a random portfolio.
The following formula can be used to evaluate Mutual fund performance:-
Where:
NAV t = per-share net asset value at the end of year t
D t = Capital appreciation during two years.
NAV t-1 = per-share net asset value at the end of the previous year.
