HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit
Trust of India, at the initiative of the Govt. of India and Reserve Bank. The history of
mutual fund in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases.
The Indian mutual fund industry has started opening up many exciting
investment opportunities to Indian investors. Despite the expected continuing growth in
the industry, mutual funds are still a new financial intermediary in India. Hence, it is
important that the investors, the mutual fund agents/distributors, the investment
advisors and even the fund employees acquire better knowledge of what mutual funds
are, what they can do for investors and what they cannot, and how they function
differently from other intermediaries such as the banks.
Phase 1. (1964-87 Unit Trust of India.)
In 1963, UTI was established by an Act of parliament and given a monopoly.
Operationally, UTI was set up by the RBI. But was later de linked from RBI the first,
and still one of the largest schemes launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 64. Over the
years, US 64 attracted and probably still have the largest number of investors in any
single investment scheme. It was also at least partially the first open –end scheme in
the country. Now moving towards becoming fully open-end.
Later in 1970s and 80s, UTI started innovating and offering different schemes to
suit the needs of different classes of different investors. Unit Linked Insurance Plan
(ULIP) was launched in 1971. Six new schemes were introduced between 1981 and
1984. During 1984-87, new schemes like children’s gift growth fund (1986) and Master
share (1987) were launched
.

Phase 2 (1987-1993 Entry of public sector funds.)
1987 Marked the entry of non –UTI, public sector mutual funds, bringing in
competition. With the opening up of the economy, many public sector banks and
financial institutions were allowed to establish mutual funds. The SBI established the
first non-UTI Mutual funds in Nov, 1987. This was followed by Can Bank Mutual fund
in Dec, 1987. LIC Mutual fund (1989) and GIC MF and Indian Bank MF. The fund
industry expanded nearly 7 times in terms of Asset under Management.
Phase 3 (1993-1996 Emergence of Private funds)
A new era of Mutual Fund industry began with the permission granted for the
entry of private sector funds in 1993, giving the Indian investors a broader choice of
‘fund families’ and increasing competition for the existing public sector funds.
Initially, the mobilization of funds by the private mutual fund was slow. But, this
segment of fund industry now has been witnessing much greater investor confidence
in them. One influencing factor has been development of a SEBI driven regulatory
framework for mutual funds. Investors in India now clearly see the benefits of investing
through mutual funds and have started becoming selective.
Phase 4 (1996 SEBI regulation for mutual funds)
The entire mutual fund industry in India, despite initial hiccups, has since
scaled new heights in terms of mobilization of funds and number of players.
Deregulations and liberalization of the Indian economy has introduced competition and
impetus to the growth of the industry.

More investor’s friendly regulatory measures have been taken both by SEBI to
protect the investors and by the government to enhance investors’ returns through tax
benefits. A comprehensive set of regulations for all mutual funds operating in India
was introduced with SEBI (mf) Regulations, 1996. These regulation set uniform
standards for all funds and will eventually be applied in full to UTI as well, even though
UTI is govern by its own UTI Act.
In fact, UTI has been voluntarily adopting SEBI guidelines for most of its
schemes. Similarly the 1999 Union Government Budget took a big step in exempting
all mutual fund dividends from income tax in the hands of investors. Both the 1996
regulation and the 1999 budget must be considered of historic importance, given their
far reaching impact on the fund industry and investors.
PHASE -5 2003 ONWARDS
This phase was marked by very rapid growth in the industry, and significant
increase in market shares of private sector players. In February 2003, following the
repeal of the unit Trust of India Act 1963 was bifurcated into two separate entities.
One is the specified undertakings of the Unit Trust of India with assets under
management of Rs.29,835 corers as at the end of January 2003, representation
broadly, the assets of unit scheme 1964, assured return and certain other schemes.
The specified undertakings of UTI, functioning under an administrator and under the
rules framed by the Government of India, and do not come under the purview of the
Mutual Fund Regulation.
Sanjay Jadeja

Erstwhile UTI was bifurcated into UTI Mutual Fund and the Specified Undertaking
of the Unit Trust of India effective from February 2003. The Assets under management
of the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India has therefore been excluded
from the total assets of the industry as a whole from February 2003 onwards.
Sanjay Jadeja

Currently there are around 45 mutual fund organizations in India together
handling assets worth nearly Rs 10 lakh crore. Today, the Indian mutual fund industry
has opened up many exciting investment opportunities for investors. As a result, we
have started witnessing the phenomenon of savings now being entrusted to the funds
rather than in banks alone. Mutual Funds are now perhaps one of the most sought-
after investment options for most investors.

STRUCTURE OF MUTUAL FUND IN INDIA
For anybody to become well aware about mutual funds, it is imperative for him or her
to know the structure of a mutual fund. How does a mutual fund come into being? Who
are the important people in a mutual fund? What are their roles? etc. We will start our
understanding by looking at the mutual fund structure in brief.
Mutual Funds in India follow a 3-tier structure. There is a Sponsor (the First tier),
who thinks of starting a mutual fund. The Sponsor approaches the Securities &
Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which is the market regulator and also the regulator
for mutual funds.
Not everyone can start a mutual fund. SEBI checks whether the person is of integrity,
whether he has enough experience in the financial sector, his net worth etc. Once
SEBI is convinced, the sponsor creates a Public Trust (the Second tier) as per the
Indian Trusts Act, 1882. Trusts have no legal identity in India and cannot enter into
contracts, hence the Trustees are the people authorized to act on behalf of the Trust.
Contracts are entered into in the name of the Trustees. Once the Trust is created, it is
registered with SEBI after which this trust is known as the mutual fund.
It is important to understand the difference between the Sponsor and the Trust. They
are two separate entities. Sponsor is not the Trust; i.e. Sponsor is not the Mutual
Fund. It is the Trust which is the Mutual Fund.
The Trustees role is not to manage the money. Their job is only to see, whether the
money is being managed as per stated objectives. Trustees may be seen as the
internal regulators of a mutual fund.

 A vehicle for investing in stocks and bonds
A mutual fund is not an alternative investment option to stocks and bonds, rather it
pools the money of several investors and invests this in stocks, bonds, money market
instruments and other types of securities.
Buying a mutual fund is like buying a small slice of a big pizza. The owner of a
mutual fund unit gets a proportional share of the fund’s gains, losses, income and
expenses.
 Each mutual fund has a specific stated objective
The fund’s objective is laid out in the fund's prospectus, which is the legal
document that contains information about the fund, its history, its officers and its
performance.
 Some popular objectives of a mutual fund are -
Fund Objective What the fund will invest in
Equity (Growth) Only in stocks
Debt (Income) Only in fixed-income securities
Money Market
(including Gilt)
In short-term money market instruments (including
government securities)
Balanced Partly in stocks and partly in fixed-income securities,
in order to maintain
a 'balance' in returns and risk
Sanjay Jadeja

 Managed by an Asset Management Company (AMC)
The company that puts together a mutual fund is called an AMC. An AMC may
have several mutual fund schemes with similar or varied investment objectives.
The AMC hires a professional money manager, who buys and sells securities in
line with the fund's stated objective.
 All AMCs Regulated by SEBI, Funds governed by Board of Directors
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mutual fund regulations require
that the fund’s objectives are clearly spelt out in the prospectus.
 Net Asset Value or NAV
NAV is the total asset value (net of expenses) per unit of the fund and is calculated
by the AMC at the end of every business day.
 How is NAV calculated?
The value of all the securities in the portfolio in calculated daily. From this, all
expenses are deducted and the resultant value divided by the number of units in the
fund is the fund’s NAV.
For e.g.
If the market value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs. 200
lakhs and the mutual fund has issued 10 lakhs unit at Rs. 10 each to the investors,
then the NAV per unit of the fund is Rs.20
Net Asset Value Of Scheme
NAV =------------------------------------
No. Of Units Outstanding
Sanjay Jadeja
10
The major factor affecting the NAV of a fund are;
 Sale and purchase of securities
 Sale and repurchase of unit
 Valuation of assets
 Actual of income and exp
Expense Ratio
AMCs charge an annual fee, or expense ratio that covers administrative
expenses, salaries, advertising expenses, brokerage fee, etc. A 1.5% expense ratio
means the AMC charges Rs1.50 for every Rs100 in assets under management.
A fund's expense ratio is typically to the size of the funds under
management and not to the returns earned. Normally, the costs of running a fund grow
slower than the growth in the fund size - so, the more assets in the fund, the lower
should be its expense ratio.
Load
Some AMCs have sales charges, or loads, on their funds (entry load
and/or exit load) to compensate for distribution costs. Funds that can be purchased
without a sales charge are called no-load funds.
Sanjay Jadeja
11
Open- and Close-Ended Funds
1) Open-Ended Funds
At any time during the scheme period, investors can enter and exit the
fund scheme (by buying/ selling fund units) at its NAV (net of any load charge).
Increasingly, AMCs are issuing mostly open-ended funds.
2) Close-Ended Funds
Redemption can take place only after the period of the scheme is over.
However, close-ended funds are listed on the stock exchanges and investors can buy/
0sell units in the secondary market (there is no load).
STP-Systematic transfer plan
They allow the investors to transfer on a periodic basis a specifying amount
from one scheme to another within the same fund family meaning two schemes
belonging to the same mutual fund. A transfer will be treated as redemption of units
from the scheme from which the transfer is made. Such redemption or investment will
be at the applicable NAV. This service allows the investor to manage his investment
activity to achieve his objectives.
SWP- Systematic withdrawal plan
An opposed to the SIP, the SWP allows the investors the facility to withdraw
the pre determined interval. The investor’s units will be redeemed at the existing NAV
as on that day.
Sanjay Jadeja
12
SIP – Systematic Investment Planning
 It is a method of investing a fixed sum, at a regular interval, in a mutual fund.
 It is very similar to monthly saving schemes like a recurring monthly deposit /
post office deposit
Advantages of Systematic Investment Planning
 Encourages Regular Investments (just like recurring deposit schemes)
 A Convenient way to invest regularly
 Lower initial investment without cutting into regular expense
 Long term perspective
 Rupee Cost Averaging Benefit to counter volatility - it brings down the average
cost of your Investments
 No timing the market!!!
 Meet investment objective with investment needs
 Helps to match the risk / return profile
Types of risks associated with Mutual Fund Investment
Market risk: At times the prices or yields of all the securities in a particular market rise
or fall due to broad outside influences. This change in price is due to 'market risk'.
Inflation risk: Sometimes referred to as 'loss of purchasing power'. Whenever the rate
of inflation exceeds the earnings on your investment, you run the risk that you'll
actually be able to buy less, not more.
Credit risk: In short, how stable is the company or entity to which you lend your
money when you invest? How certain are you that it will be able to pay the interest you
are promised, or repay your principal when the investment matures?
Interest rate risk: Interest rate movements in the Indian debt markets can be volatile
leading to the possibility of large price movements up or down in debt and money
market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the NAV.
Sanjay Jadeja

Advantages of Mutual Fund:-
 Professional Money Management
Fund managers are responsible for implementing a consistent investment
strategy that reflects the goals of the fund. Fund managers monitor market and
economic trends and analyze securities in order to make informed investment
decisions.
 Diversification
Diversification is one of the best ways to reduce risk (to understand why,
read the need to Diversify). Mutual funds offer investors an opportunity to diversify
across assets depending on their investment needs.
 Liquidity
Investors can sell their mutual fund units on any business day and receive the
current market value on their investments within a short time period (normally three- to
five-days).
 Affordability
The minimum initial investment for a mutual fund is fairly low for most funds (as low
as Rs500 for some schemes).
 Convenience
Most private sector funds provide you the convenience of periodic purchase plans,
automatic withdrawal plans and the automatic reinvestment of interest.
Sanjay Jadeja
14
 Tax benefits on Investment in Mutual Funds
1) 100% Income Tax exemption on all Mutual Fund dividends
2) Equity Funds - Short term capital gains is taxed at 15%. Long term capital gains are
not applicable.
Debt Funds - Short term capital gains is taxed as per the slab rates applicable to you.
Long term capital gains tax to be lower of - 10% on the capital gains without factoring
indexation benefit and 20% on the capital gains after factoring indexation benefit.
3) Open-end funds with equity exposure of more than 65% (Revised from 50% to 65%
in Budget 2006) are exempt from the payment of dividend tax for a period of 3 years
from 1999-2000.

Growth in the AUM:-
An asset managed by the Indian mutual fund industry has grown from Rs. 9.91
trillion in May 2014 to Rs. 12.26 trillion in May 2015.
That represents a 24% growth in assets over May 2014.
The Indian mutual fund industry has shown relatively slow growth in the period
FY 10-13 growing at a CAGR of approximately 3.2 per cent. Average (AUM) stood at
INR 8,140 billion as of September 2013. However, AUM increased to INR 8,800 billion
as of December 2013in comparison to global markets, India’s AUM penetration as a
per cent of GDP is between 5-6 per cent while it is around 77 per cent for the U.S., 40
per cent for Brazil and 31 per cent for South Africa.

Despite the relatively low penetration of mutual funds in India, the market is
highly concentrated. Though, there are 46 AMCs operating in the sector,
approximately 80 per cent of the AUM concentrated with 8 of the leading players in
the market .There have been recent instances of consolidation in the market and
market concentration is expected to remain in the near-term.
Sanjay Jadeja

Market share of Leading Mutual Funds:-
Corporate investments constitute around 49 per cent of AUM with a focus on
debt/money market funds for the purpose of short term returns and liquidity
management.
Retail share of AUM is 20 per cent and is expected to rise driven by increased
investor awareness, product penetration and greater distribution reach. High Net worth
Individual (HNIs) have emerged as the fastest growing investor segment growing at a
rate of 20 per cent over the period ofFY10- FY13 with a preference for debt oriented
funds. However, AUM growth largely remains restricted to the top 5 cities in India viz.
Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata (contributing 74 per cent of AUM as
of September 2013).
The top 35 cities continue to contribute around 90-92 per cent of the industry AUM

However, despite the potential offered by the mutual fund industry, there
still remain some key challenges faced by the industry which have had an impact on
growth. These include
• Limited incentives for distributors for MF products as compared to other
Financial products
• Lack of product differentiation and ability to communicate value to investors
• Low MF penetration and relatively lower addition of retail investors
• Lack of investor awareness about MF industry
Sanjay Jadeja
21
• Evolving nature of industry regulations the key to combating these challenges is to
ensure a wider distribution reachto widen the existing base of the industry.
Additionally, there needs to be an improvement in overall investor awareness through
strategic initiatives and investor education drives to drive growth. The next section
elaborates key trends that may have an impact on the future growth of the industry

SWOT Analysis:-
Strengths:-
 Employees are highly empowered
 Strong communication network
 Vast area of service
 Innovative financial products of diverse categories
Weakness:-
 Lesser penetration as being late entrants
 Low publicity and marketing as compared to other premium Mf in the urban
area
Opportunity:-
Many of the mutual fund companies are presently functioning in the urban
area, but in country like India were the substation part of total population lives in
the rural area, also the mutual fund company needs to expand their business in
the unexplored rural area which will lead to the substantial increase in the total
amount which is invested in mutual fund.
 BUILD TRUST AMONG THE CUSTOMER
 PROVIDE SATISFACTION TO THE CUSTOMER
Threats:-
Increased Competitions: With intense competition by so many local players
causing headache to the current marketers. In addition to this though multinational
brands are not yet established but still they will soon hit the mark. Almost 60 to 70%
Sanjay Jadeja
52
of the revenue is spending on the management and services.
Hedge Funds: sometimes referred to as hot money, are also causing a threat for
mutual funds. They have gained worldwide notoriety for bringing the markets down.
Be it a crash in the currency, stock or bond market, usually a hedge fund
prominently figures somewhere in the picture.

INTRODUCTION OF STUDY :-
The purpose of this study is to know the comparison of different type of
investment avenues mutual. To know the total market share of the mutual fund and
other avenues between different players. To know the industry of mutual fund.
This study helps to classify various schemes provided by Kotak Mutual Fund
Company.
Background of study
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.

Towards Mutual Fund In Comparison To Other Investment Avenues” From
“Journal Of Indian Research (Issn: 2321-4155) Vol.1, No.4, October-December,
2013”
In today’s competitive environment, different kinds of investment avenues are
available to the investors. All investment modes have advantages & disadvantages.
An investor tries to balance these benefits and shortcomings of different investment
modes before investing in them. Among various investment modes, Mutual Fund is
the most suitable investment mode for the common man, as it offers an opportunity
to invest in a diversified and professionally managed portfolio at a relatively low
cost. In this paper, an attempt is made to study mainly the investment avenue
preferred by the investors of Mathura, and we have tried to analyze the investor’s
preference towards investment in mutual funds when other investment avenues are
also available in the market.

Investment is the employment of funds on assets with the aim of earning income or
capital appreciation. In the past, investment avenues were limited to real estates,
schemes of the post office and banks. At present, a wide variety of investment
avenues are open to the investors to suit their needs and nature. The required level
of return and the risk tolerance level decide the choice of the investor. It is
necessary to know that investor prefer which particular investment instrument and
why? The main purpose of this research paper is to find Investors‟ preference for
various investment alternatives particularly shares and mutual funds.
Sandip Bansal On The Topic Of “Investor’s Perception Regarding Mutual
Funds And Other Investment Tools” From “Journal Of International
Academic Research For Multidisciplinary Impact Factor 1.393, Issn: 2320-
5083, Volume 2, Issue 5, June 2014”
In the context of growing importance of mutual funds in the developing countries
like India, majority of the investors prefer mutual funds as a good tool of
investment. Mutual funds pool the savings of small investors and made the
investment in blue chip companies. Due to these reasons the present study’s main
objective are to analyze investor’s perception regarding the mutual fund industry in
India and other investment tools. Large number of new other investment tools could
have led to competition with the mutual funds for their existence. The study made a
comparative analysis of the mutual fund and other investment tools. The study aims
to help understand the investor’s behavior towards mutual fund and various other
investment plans like PPF, FD life insurance, equity etc. The study required design
a questionnaire and to do a primary survey on investor perception towards mutual
Funds and other investment tools The target respondents of the primary survey

were walk in investors in ICICI bank and various professional people. The data
gathered from the primary survey and secondary survey and to find various factors
that affect an investor decisions while choosing Mutual Fund plan other investment
plan and risk factors which involve in mutual fund. The findings of the study reveal
that mostly investors are not aware about all investment tools and mostly see the
transparency in investment tools during invest in particular tools
SEBI – NCAER Survey (2000) was carried out to estimate the number of households
and the population of individual investors, their economic and demographic profile,
portfolio size, and investment preference for equity as well as other savings
instruments. This is a unique and comprehensive study of Indian Investors, for which
data was collected from 3,0,00,000 geographically dispersed rural and urban
households. Some of the relevant findings of the study are : Households preference
for instruments match their risk perception; Bank Deposit has an appeal across all
income class; 43% of the non-investor households equivalent to around 60 million
households (estimated) apparently lack awareness about stock markets; and,
compared with low income groups, the higher income groups have higher share of
investments in Mutual Funds (MFs) signifying that MFs have still not become truly the
investment vehicle for small investors.
Bodla B. S., Bishnoi Sunita(2008) has concluded in their study that the mutual fund
investors in India at present have as many as 609 schemes with variety of features
such as dividend, growth, cumulative interest income, monthly income plans, sectoral
plans, equity linked schemes, money market schemes, etc. Though both open-end
and close-end schemes have registered excellent growth in fund mobilization, but
currently the former category of schemes is more popular among the investors.
Portfolio-wise analysis has brought that income schemes have an edge over growth
schemes in terms of assets under management. Moreover UTI’s share in total assets
under management has come down to 11.8 percent in 2006 from 82.5 percent in
1998.

Suggestions and conclusion
After analyzing & interpreting the data received from the respondents, it may be
concluded that maximum investors are aware about Banks FD & insurance as
investment avenues only. More than 80% investors are aware about Mutual Funds,
Real Estate, and NSC investment avenues.
Following are the main bases of different investment modes, an investor thinks
before investing:
Mode Preference Mode Preference
Banks for Safety
Real estate for Return
LIC for Safety
Comm. Mkt. for Return & liquidity
PPF for Safety
Gold for Safety
Stock Mkt. for Return & liquidity
Mutual fund for Return & Tax Planning
Bonds for Safety & Tax Planning
Post office for Safety & Tax
Looking from different perspective, it is also evident that the overall and main
criterion of the investors regarding their investments is Return. Therefore, on the basis
of Safety, Bank FD & insurance are the most preferred avenues of investments it
provides maximum safety. On the basis of Return, Real Estate & Mutual Funds are the
most preferred avenues of investment as it provides maximum return.
Similarly, on the basis of Tax Planning, Post Office Schemes & Mutual Funds
are the most preferred avenues of investment. Therefore, the preference is given to
Sanjay Jadeja
80
investment in Mutual Funds amidst availability of other traditional investment avenues
in the market.
Lastly, if the investors have been provided more funds, then they would like to
invest in Real Estate because of its rapid growth. Therefore, on the whole, it may be
concluded that the Real Estate is the most preferred investment avenue of the
investors of Mathura. The Mutual fund has yet to percolate down as the preferred
mode of investment in the aria of Rajkot.
For the suggestion part I would suggest that the MF firm should try & make
people aware that mutual fund is very good option for them for investment as it gives
very good return, is most liquid transparent mode of investment.
Sanjay Jadeja
81
Limitations of the study
As far as this research is concerned, the biggest limitation of the study was that it
was only limited to the Rajkot area.
The samples selected under the research were only limited to 100. So the finding
of this cannot be implemented to other areas & other people. The method of data
collection here was both primary and secondary, so the sources cannot be fully trusted
as it is related to the personal thinking & beliefs.
Sanjay Jadeja
82
Scope for Further Research
There is a huge scope for the further research on this topic and the subject as
this study was only limited to one specific area and for small amount of sample.
There can be a big research done on this subject by including more cities or
states and the research can be done at India level by including more samples.
The result of the study can be more concrete and trustable by using more
specific and accurate method of sampling & data collection.

    Sanjay Jadeja 1 HISTORY OFMUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the initiative of the Govt. of India and Reserve Bank. The history of mutual fund in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases. The Indian mutual fund industry has started opening up many exciting investment opportunities to Indian investors. Despite the expected continuing growth in the industry, mutual funds are still a new financial intermediary in India. Hence, it is important that the investors, the mutual fund agents/distributors, the investment advisors and even the fund employees acquire better knowledge of what mutual funds are, what they can do for investors and what they cannot, and how they function differently from other intermediaries such as the banks. Phase 1. (1964-87 Unit Trust of India.) In 1963, UTI was established by an Act of parliament and given a monopoly. Operationally, UTI was set up by the RBI. But was later de linked from RBI the first, and still one of the largest schemes launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 64. Over the years, US 64 attracted and probably still have the largest number of investors in any single investment scheme. It was also at least partially the first open –end scheme in the country. Now moving towards becoming fully open-end. Later in 1970s and 80s, UTI started innovating and offering different schemes to suit the needs of different classes of different investors. Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) was launched in 1971. Six new schemes were introduced between 1981 and 1984. During 1984-87, new schemes like children’s gift growth fund (1986) and Master share (1987) were launched .
  • 2.
    Sanjay Jadeja 2 Phase 2(1987-1993 Entry of public sector funds.) 1987 Marked the entry of non –UTI, public sector mutual funds, bringing in competition. With the opening up of the economy, many public sector banks and financial institutions were allowed to establish mutual funds. The SBI established the first non-UTI Mutual funds in Nov, 1987. This was followed by Can Bank Mutual fund in Dec, 1987. LIC Mutual fund (1989) and GIC MF and Indian Bank MF. The fund industry expanded nearly 7 times in terms of Asset under Management. Phase 3 (1993-1996 Emergence of Private funds) A new era of Mutual Fund industry began with the permission granted for the entry of private sector funds in 1993, giving the Indian investors a broader choice of ‘fund families’ and increasing competition for the existing public sector funds. Initially, the mobilization of funds by the private mutual fund was slow. But, this segment of fund industry now has been witnessing much greater investor confidence in them. One influencing factor has been development of a SEBI driven regulatory framework for mutual funds. Investors in India now clearly see the benefits of investing through mutual funds and have started becoming selective. Phase 4 (1996 SEBI regulation for mutual funds) The entire mutual fund industry in India, despite initial hiccups, has since scaled new heights in terms of mobilization of funds and number of players. Deregulations and liberalization of the Indian economy has introduced competition and impetus to the growth of the industry.
  • 3.
    Sanjay Jadeja 3 More investor’sfriendly regulatory measures have been taken both by SEBI to protect the investors and by the government to enhance investors’ returns through tax benefits. A comprehensive set of regulations for all mutual funds operating in India was introduced with SEBI (mf) Regulations, 1996. These regulation set uniform standards for all funds and will eventually be applied in full to UTI as well, even though UTI is govern by its own UTI Act. In fact, UTI has been voluntarily adopting SEBI guidelines for most of its schemes. Similarly the 1999 Union Government Budget took a big step in exempting all mutual fund dividends from income tax in the hands of investors. Both the 1996 regulation and the 1999 budget must be considered of historic importance, given their far reaching impact on the fund industry and investors. PHASE -5 2003 ONWARDS This phase was marked by very rapid growth in the industry, and significant increase in market shares of private sector players. In February 2003, following the repeal of the unit Trust of India Act 1963 was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the specified undertakings of the Unit Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29,835 corers as at the end of January 2003, representation broadly, the assets of unit scheme 1964, assured return and certain other schemes. The specified undertakings of UTI, functioning under an administrator and under the rules framed by the Government of India, and do not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulation.
  • 4.
    Sanjay Jadeja 4 Erstwhile UTIwas bifurcated into UTI Mutual Fund and the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India effective from February 2003. The Assets under management of the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India has therefore been excluded from the total assets of the industry as a whole from February 2003 onwards.
  • 5.
    Sanjay Jadeja 5 Currently thereare around 45 mutual fund organizations in India together handling assets worth nearly Rs 10 lakh crore. Today, the Indian mutual fund industry has opened up many exciting investment opportunities for investors. As a result, we have started witnessing the phenomenon of savings now being entrusted to the funds rather than in banks alone. Mutual Funds are now perhaps one of the most sought- after investment options for most investors.

    Sanjay Jadeja 6 STRUCTURE OFMUTUAL FUND IN INDIA For anybody to become well aware about mutual funds, it is imperative for him or her to know the structure of a mutual fund. How does a mutual fund come into being? Who are the important people in a mutual fund? What are their roles? etc. We will start our understanding by looking at the mutual fund structure in brief. Mutual Funds in India follow a 3-tier structure. There is a Sponsor (the First tier), who thinks of starting a mutual fund. The Sponsor approaches the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which is the market regulator and also the regulator for mutual funds. Not everyone can start a mutual fund. SEBI checks whether the person is of integrity, whether he has enough experience in the financial sector, his net worth etc. Once SEBI is convinced, the sponsor creates a Public Trust (the Second tier) as per the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. Trusts have no legal identity in India and cannot enter into contracts, hence the Trustees are the people authorized to act on behalf of the Trust. Contracts are entered into in the name of the Trustees. Once the Trust is created, it is registered with SEBI after which this trust is known as the mutual fund. It is important to understand the difference between the Sponsor and the Trust. They are two separate entities. Sponsor is not the Trust; i.e. Sponsor is not the Mutual Fund. It is the Trust which is the Mutual Fund. The Trustees role is not to manage the money. Their job is only to see, whether the money is being managed as per stated objectives. Trustees may be seen as the internal regulators of a mutual fund.

    Sanjay Jadeja 8  Avehicle for investing in stocks and bonds A mutual fund is not an alternative investment option to stocks and bonds, rather it pools the money of several investors and invests this in stocks, bonds, money market instruments and other types of securities. Buying a mutual fund is like buying a small slice of a big pizza. The owner of a mutual fund unit gets a proportional share of the fund’s gains, losses, income and expenses.  Each mutual fund has a specific stated objective The fund’s objective is laid out in the fund's prospectus, which is the legal document that contains information about the fund, its history, its officers and its performance.  Some popular objectives of a mutual fund are - Fund Objective What the fund will invest in Equity (Growth) Only in stocks Debt (Income) Only in fixed-income securities Money Market (including Gilt) In short-term money market instruments (including government securities) Balanced Partly in stocks and partly in fixed-income securities, in order to maintain a 'balance' in returns and risk
  • 9.
    Sanjay Jadeja 9  Managedby an Asset Management Company (AMC) The company that puts together a mutual fund is called an AMC. An AMC may have several mutual fund schemes with similar or varied investment objectives. The AMC hires a professional money manager, who buys and sells securities in line with the fund's stated objective.  All AMCs Regulated by SEBI, Funds governed by Board of Directors The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mutual fund regulations require that the fund’s objectives are clearly spelt out in the prospectus.  Net Asset Value or NAV NAV is the total asset value (net of expenses) per unit of the fund and is calculated by the AMC at the end of every business day.  How is NAV calculated? The value of all the securities in the portfolio in calculated daily. From this, all expenses are deducted and the resultant value divided by the number of units in the fund is the fund’s NAV. For e.g. If the market value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs. 200 lakhs and the mutual fund has issued 10 lakhs unit at Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the NAV per unit of the fund is Rs.20 Net Asset Value Of Scheme NAV =------------------------------------ No. Of Units Outstanding
  • 10.
    Sanjay Jadeja 10 The majorfactor affecting the NAV of a fund are;  Sale and purchase of securities  Sale and repurchase of unit  Valuation of assets  Actual of income and exp Expense Ratio AMCs charge an annual fee, or expense ratio that covers administrative expenses, salaries, advertising expenses, brokerage fee, etc. A 1.5% expense ratio means the AMC charges Rs1.50 for every Rs100 in assets under management. A fund's expense ratio is typically to the size of the funds under management and not to the returns earned. Normally, the costs of running a fund grow slower than the growth in the fund size - so, the more assets in the fund, the lower should be its expense ratio. Load Some AMCs have sales charges, or loads, on their funds (entry load and/or exit load) to compensate for distribution costs. Funds that can be purchased without a sales charge are called no-load funds.
  • 11.
    Sanjay Jadeja 11 Open- andClose-Ended Funds 1) Open-Ended Funds At any time during the scheme period, investors can enter and exit the fund scheme (by buying/ selling fund units) at its NAV (net of any load charge). Increasingly, AMCs are issuing mostly open-ended funds. 2) Close-Ended Funds Redemption can take place only after the period of the scheme is over. However, close-ended funds are listed on the stock exchanges and investors can buy/ 0sell units in the secondary market (there is no load). STP-Systematic transfer plan They allow the investors to transfer on a periodic basis a specifying amount from one scheme to another within the same fund family meaning two schemes belonging to the same mutual fund. A transfer will be treated as redemption of units from the scheme from which the transfer is made. Such redemption or investment will be at the applicable NAV. This service allows the investor to manage his investment activity to achieve his objectives. SWP- Systematic withdrawal plan An opposed to the SIP, the SWP allows the investors the facility to withdraw the pre determined interval. The investor’s units will be redeemed at the existing NAV as on that day.
  • 12.
    Sanjay Jadeja 12 SIP –Systematic Investment Planning  It is a method of investing a fixed sum, at a regular interval, in a mutual fund.  It is very similar to monthly saving schemes like a recurring monthly deposit / post office deposit Advantages of Systematic Investment Planning  Encourages Regular Investments (just like recurring deposit schemes)  A Convenient way to invest regularly  Lower initial investment without cutting into regular expense  Long term perspective  Rupee Cost Averaging Benefit to counter volatility - it brings down the average cost of your Investments  No timing the market!!!  Meet investment objective with investment needs  Helps to match the risk / return profile Types of risks associated with Mutual Fund Investment Market risk: At times the prices or yields of all the securities in a particular market rise or fall due to broad outside influences. This change in price is due to 'market risk'. Inflation risk: Sometimes referred to as 'loss of purchasing power'. Whenever the rate of inflation exceeds the earnings on your investment, you run the risk that you'll actually be able to buy less, not more. Credit risk: In short, how stable is the company or entity to which you lend your money when you invest? How certain are you that it will be able to pay the interest you are promised, or repay your principal when the investment matures? Interest rate risk: Interest rate movements in the Indian debt markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of large price movements up or down in debt and money market securities and thereby to possibly large movements in the NAV.

    Sanjay Jadeja 13 Advantages ofMutual Fund:-  Professional Money Management Fund managers are responsible for implementing a consistent investment strategy that reflects the goals of the fund. Fund managers monitor market and economic trends and analyze securities in order to make informed investment decisions.  Diversification Diversification is one of the best ways to reduce risk (to understand why, read the need to Diversify). Mutual funds offer investors an opportunity to diversify across assets depending on their investment needs.  Liquidity Investors can sell their mutual fund units on any business day and receive the current market value on their investments within a short time period (normally three- to five-days).  Affordability The minimum initial investment for a mutual fund is fairly low for most funds (as low as Rs500 for some schemes).  Convenience Most private sector funds provide you the convenience of periodic purchase plans, automatic withdrawal plans and the automatic reinvestment of interest.

The data gathered from the primary survey and secondary survey and to find various factors that affect an investor decisions while choosing Mutual Fund plan other investment plan and risk factors which involve in mutual fund. The findings of the study reveal that mostly investors are not aware about all investment tools and mostly see the transparency in investment tools during invest in particular tools SEBI – NCAER Survey (2000) was carried out to estimate the number of households and the population of individual investors, their economic and demographic profile, portfolio size, and investment preference for equity as well as other savings instruments. This is a unique and comprehensive study of Indian Investors, for which data was collected from 3,0,00,000 geographically dispersed rural and urban households. Some of the relevant findings of the study are : Households preference for instruments match their risk perception; Bank Deposit has an appeal across all income class; 43% of the non-investor households equivalent to around 60 million households (estimated) apparently lack awareness about stock markets; and, compared with low income groups, the higher income groups have higher share of investments in Mutual Funds (MFs) signifying that MFs have still not become truly the investment vehicle for small investors. Bodla B. S., Bishnoi Sunita(2008) has concluded in their study that the mutual fund investors in India at present have as many as 609 schemes with variety of features such as dividend, growth, cumulative interest income, monthly income plans, sectoral plans, equity linked schemes, money market schemes, etc. Though both open-end and close-end schemes have registered excellent growth in fund mobilization, but currently the former category of schemes is more popular among the investors. Portfolio-wise analysis has brought that income schemes have an edge over growth schemes in terms of assets under management. Moreover UTI’s share in total assets under management has come down to 11.8 percent in 2006 from 82.5 percent in 1998.

    Sanjay Jadeja 80 investment inMutual Funds amidst availability of other traditional investment avenues in the market. Lastly, if the investors have been provided more funds, then they would like to invest in Real Estate because of its rapid growth. Therefore, on the whole, it may be concluded that the Real Estate is the most preferred investment avenue of the investors of Mathura. The Mutual fund has yet to percolate down as the preferred mode of investment in the aria of Rajkot. For the suggestion part I would suggest that the MF firm should try & make people aware that mutual fund is very good option for them for investment as it gives very good return, is most liquid transparent mode of investment.

The method of data collection here was both primary and secondary, so the sources cannot be fully trusted as it is related to the personal thinking & beliefs.
