The document discusses different types of mutual funds categorized by structure, market capitalization, and investment objective. It describes open-ended and closed-ended funds, as well as large cap, mid cap, and small cap funds. Funds are also classified based on whether they focus on growth, hybrid, or debt investments. The key benefits of mutual funds include professional management, diversification, convenience, return potential, low costs, liquidity, transparency, flexibility, affordability, and a wide choice of schemes. SIP and STP are also summarized as systematic investment and transfer plans that allow regular investing in mutual funds to build wealth over the long term.

4. Based on market capitalizationProfessional Management Mutual Funds provide the services of experienced and skilled professionals, backed by a dedicated investment research team that analyses the performance and prospects of companies and selects suitable investments to achieve the objectives of the scheme.DiversificationMutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross-section of industries and sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do all stocks decline at the same time and in the same proportion. You achieve this diversification through a Mutual Fund with far less money than you can do on your own.Convenient AdministrationInvesting in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps you avoid many problems such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and follow up with brokers and companies. Mutual Funds save your time and make investing easy and convenient.Return PotentialOver a medium to long-term, Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a higher return as they invest in a diversified basket of selected securities.Low CostsMutual Funds are a relatively less expensive way to invest compared to directly investing in the capital markets because the benefits of scale in brokerage, custodial and other fees translate into lower costs for investors.LiquidityIn open-end schemes, the investor gets the money back promptly at net asset value related prices from the Mutual Fund. In closed-end schemes, the units can be sold on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or the investor can avail of the facility of direct repurchase at NAV related prices by the Mutual Fund.TransparencyYou get regular information on the value of your investment in addition to disclosure on the specific investments made by your scheme, the proportion invested in each class of assets and the fund manager's investment strategy and outlook.FlexibilityThrough features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans and dividend reinvestment plans, you can systematically invest or withdraw funds according to your needs and convenience.AffordabilityInvestors individually may lack sufficient funds to invest in high-grade stocks. A mutual fund because of its large corpus allows even a small investor to take the benefit of its investment strategy.Choice of SchemesMutual Funds offer a family of schemes to suit your varying needs over a lifetime.Well RegulatedAll Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the provisions of strict regulations designed to protect the interests of investors. The operations of Mutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI. Open-end FundsAn open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through the year. These do not have a fixed maturity. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value ("NAV") related prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.Closed-end FundsA closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging from 3 to 15 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors can invest in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where they are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the Mutual Fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor.Interval FundsInterval funds combine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes. They are open for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related prices.Large cap fundsMid cap fundsSmall cap funds

12. Exercise 1Mr. Bachhan invested Rs 10,000/- in a mutual fund (growth option) @ NAV of Rs 10(including the load). Current NAV is Rs 15 and a dividend of Rs 2 is declared. Calculate the amount Mr. Bachhan will get as: 1) Dividend 2) Redeemed amount

13. Solution:Having opted for the Growth scheme, Mr. Bachhan will not receive any dividendNumber of units held= 10000/10 = 1000 Current NAV = Rs 15 Therefore, Redeemed amount = 15 x 1000 = Rs 15000/-

14. Exercise 2Mr Sharukh invested Rs. 100000/- in a mutual fund (dividend pay out option) @ NAV Rs 10(load inclusive). After six months NAV is Rs 15 and a dividend of 20% is declared. If Mr Sharukh redeems 3 days after the declaration of dividend, how much will he get as: 1) Dividend 2) Redeemed amount (Assuming there is no capital appreciation after the declaration of dividend)

15. Solution:Dividend declared is 20% ie; Rs. 2 (20% of Rs. 10) per unit. Thus, Dividend amount = dividend per unit x number of units. = 2 x 10000 = Rs 20,000/-Now, after declaration of the dividend the NAV will be = 15 – 2= Rs 13 Thus, Redemption amount = Number of units x Current NAV = 13 x 10000 = Rs 1,30,000/-
