    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.

    biased analysis. Having once identified which information is relevant and need to be

    collected, we will have to define how this will be done.

    The Method employed in the investigation depends on the purpose and scope of the

    study.

    Research Design

    Research design is some statement or specification of procedures for collecting and

    Analyzing the information required for the solution of some specific problem. Here, the

    exploratory research is used as investigation and is mainly concerned with determining

    the trends and returns in Mutual Funds and Bank returns.

    Data Collection Methods

    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

    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).

    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

    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

    18/90

    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

    19/90

    MUTUAL FUNDS BALANCE FUNDS

    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

    22/90

    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.

    MARKET PROFILE

    NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE

    The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) situated in Mumbai - is the largest and most

    advanced exchange with 1016 companies listed and 726 trading members. Capital market

    reforms in India and the launch of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)

    accelerated the incorporation of the second Indian stock exchange called the National

    Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992. After a few years of operations, the NSE has become the

    largest stock exchange in India.

    Three segments of the NSE trading platform were established one after another. The

    Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) commenced operations in June 1994 and the Capital

    Market (CM) segment was opened at the end of 1994. Finally, the Futures and Options

    segment began operating in 2000. Today the NSE takes the 14th position in the top 40

    futures exchanges in the world.

    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

    36

    company's track record are just a few of the criteria. In addition, listed companies pay

    variable listing fees based on their corporate capital size.

    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.

    (IISL), which is a joint venture between NSE and CRISIL. IISL is India's first specialized

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS OF INDIA

    With the increase in Mutual Fund players in India, a need for mutual fund association in

    India was generated to function as a non-profit organization. Association of Mutual Funds

    in India (AMFI) was incorporated on 22nd August 1995.

    AMFI is an APEX body of all Asset Management Companies (AMC), which has been

    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.

    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.
