3. •A Mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number
investors who share a common financial goal. The money
thus collected is then invested In capital market instruments
such as shares, debentures and other securities.
•The income earned through these investments and the
capital appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in
proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a
Mutual fund is the most suitable investment for the common
man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a
diversified,proferssionally managed basket of securities at a
relatively low cost.
•A mutual fund is also known as an open-ended investment
fund, which means the fund sells units (of this pool on money)
upon request.
4. The mutual fund was born from a financial crisis that staggered Europe in the early
1770s.
The British East India Company had borrowed heavily during the preceding boom years
to support its ambitious colonial interests, particularly in North America where unrest
would culminate in revolution in a few short years.
As expenses increased and revenue from colonial adventures fell, the East India
Company sought a bailout in 1772 from the already-stressed British treasury. It was the
“original too big to fail corporation and the repercussions were felt across the continent
and indeed around the world.
At the same time, the Dutch were facing their own challenges, expanding and exploring
like the British and taking “copy-cat risks” in a pattern that has drawn parallels to the
banking crisis of 2008.
5. Against this backdrop, a Dutch merchant, Adriaan van Ketwich, had the foresight to pool
money from a number of subscribers to form an investment trust the world’s first mutual
fund in 1774. The financial risk to the mainly small investors was spread by diversifying
across a number of European countries and the American colonies, where investments
were backed by income from plantations, an early version of today’s mortgage-backed
securities.

7. From the History and Evolution of Mutual Fund we came to know that it is been
introduced when there the British Colonial did not have money for colonial interest and
they had taken money in lend and completed their work while the other party got the
interest out of that.
Here we can make one point clear that when there was a need it was introduced. Also
the innovation which took place was great as we know from then onwards mutual
funding has become a big success as the development of any country runs on mutual
fund
No country in this world have become powerful by not taking money on lend,
countries like , USA, Russia, China, UK, etc
8. The creation of the Massachusetts Investors' Trust in
Boston, Massachusetts, heralded the arrival of the modern mutual fund in 1924. The
fund went public in 1928, eventually spawning the mutual fund firm known today as MFS
Investment Management.
After the stock market crash of 1929, Congress passed a series of acts regulating the
securities markets in general and mutual funds in particular.
The Securities Act of 1933 requires that all investments sold to the public, including
mutual funds, be registered with the SEC and that they provide prospective investors
with a prospectus that discloses essential facts about the investment. The Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 requires that issuers of securities, including mutual funds, report
regularly to their investors;
