INTRODUCTION

There are a lot of investment avenues available today in the financial market for an investor with an invest able surplus. He can invest in Bank Deposits, Corporate Debentures, and Bonds where there is low risk but low return. He may invest in Stock of companies where the risk is high and the returns are also proportionately high. The recent trends in the Stock Market have shown that an average retail investor always lost with periodic bearish tends. People began opting for portfolio managers with expertise in stock markets who would invest on their behalf. Thus we had wealth management services provided by many institutions. However they proved too costly for a small investor. These investors have found a good shelter with the mutual funds.

Like most developed and developing countries the mutual fund cult has been catching on in India. The reasons for this interesting occurrence are:

1. Mutual funds make it easy and less costly for investors to satisfy their need for capital growth, income and/or income preservation.

2. Mutual fund brings the benefits of diversification and money management to the individual investor, providing aOpportunity for financial success that was once available only to a select few.

In the year 1987 Public Sector banks like State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of India, and Bank of Baroda have set up mutual funds. Apart from these above mentioned banks Life Insurance Corporation [LIC] and General Insurance Corporation [GIC] too have set up mutual fund. LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989.while GIC had set up its mutual fund in December 1990.The mutual fund industry had assest under management of Rs. 47,004 crores.

11

Page 12: RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND praveen

There are numerous benefits of investing in mutual funds and one of the key reasons for its phenomenal success in the developed markets like US and UK is the range of benefits they offer, which are unmatched by most other investment avenues.

Diversification

The nuclear weapon in your arsenal for your fight against Risk. It simply means that you must spread your investment across different securities (stocks, bonds, money market instruments, real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and different sectors (auto, textile, information technology etc.).

Tax Benefits

Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit holders of open-ended equity-oriented funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31, 2003, will be taxed at a concessional rate of 10.5%.

Regulations

12

Page 13: RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND praveen

Securities Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), the mutual funds regulator has clearly defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules relate to the formation, administration and management of mutual funds and also prescribe disclosure and accounting requirements. Such a high level of regulation seeks to protect the interest of investors

Affordability

A mutual fund invests in a portfolio of assets, i.e. bonds, shares, etc. depending upon the investment objective of the scheme. Azn investor can buy in to a portfolio of equities, which would otherwise be extremely expensive.

India's Best Offering: Reliance Mutual Fund

Investing has become global. Today, a lot of countries are waking up to the reality that in order to gain financial growth, they must encourage their citizens to not only save but also invest. Mutual funds are fast becoming the mode of investment in the world.

In India, a mutual fund company called the Reliance Mutual Fund is making waves. Reliance is considered India's best when it comes to mutual funds. Its investors number to 4.6 billion people. Reliance Capital Asset Management Limited ranks in the top 3 of India's banking companies and financial sector in terms of net value.

The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group owns Reliance; they are

20

Page 21: RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND praveen

the fastest growing investment company in India so far. To meet the erratic demand of the financial market, Reliance Mutual Fund designed a distinct portfolio that is sure to please potential investors. Reliance Capital Asset Management Limited manages RMF.

Vision And Mission

Reliance Mutual Fund is so popular because it is investor focused. They show their dedication by continually dishing out innovative offerings and unparalleled service initiatives. It is their goal to become respected globally for helping people achieve their financial dreams through excellent organization governance and customer care. Reliance Mutual fund wants a high performance environment that is geared at making investors happy.

RMF aims to do business lawfully and without stepping on other people. They want to be able to create portfolios that will ensure the liquidity of the investment of people in India as well as abroad. Reliance Mutual Fund also wants to make sure that their shareholders realize reasonable profit, by deploying funds wisely. Taking appropriate risks to reach the company's potential is also one of Reliance Mutual Fund's objectives.

Schemes

To make their packages more attractive, Reliance Mutual Fund created proposals called The Equity/ Growth scheme,

21

Page 22: RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND praveen

Debt/Income Scheme, and Sector Specific Scheme.

i. Debt/Income Scheme, and Sector Specific Scheme.

The Equity/ Growth scheme give medium to long term capital increase. The major part of the investment is on equities and they have fairly high risks. The scheme gives the investors varying options like, capital augmentation or dividend preference. The choices are not deadlocked because if you want you may change the options later on.

Providing steady and regular income is one of the Debt/Income Scheme's primary goals. The Debt/Income scheme has in its portfolio government securities, corporate debentures fixed income securities, and bonds. returns on Sector Specific Scheme are dependent on the performance of the industry at which your money is invested upon. Compared to diversified funds this is a lot more risky and you will need to really give your time on observing the market.

Although RMF is gaining good ground in the financial market, remember that they are a risk taking bunch. They give higher profit because they take a lot of risks. So, if you are faint hearted, then Reliance Mutual Fund is not for you.

Reliance MoneyTax Saving funds Reliance Money:

Tax-saving funds (due to their equity-oriented nature) are capable of clocking far superior returns their assured return counterparts like National Savings Certificate (NSC) and Public Provident Fund (PPF).

38

Page 39: RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND praveen

However investors must appreciate that the risk profile of tax-saving funds tends to be proportionately higher.

Reliance Tax Saver (ELSS) Fund (RTSF) is the latest entrant in the tax-saving funds segment. Flagship diversified equity funds (Reliance Growth Fund and Reliance Equity Fund) from Reliance Mutual Fund have emerged as top performers in their segment across time horizons. However investors should note that these funds are managed aggressively; also they have displayed an opportunistic streak by moving fluidly across market segments (large caps, mid caps) to clock superior growth. RTSF is likely to be a similar (high risk - high return) investment proposition within the tax-saving funds segment.

SYSTEM INVESTMENT PLAN

SIP is a way of investing in Mutual Funds. It is designed for those investors who are willing to invest regularly rather than making a lump sum investment. It is just like a recurring deposit with the post office or bank where we deposit some amount every month. The difference here is that the amount is invested in a mutual fund. Mutual Fund makes investment according to their objective .They collect fund from investor and invests it. Every fund has an objective and pattern of investing.
