Investors can invest in the schemes at the time of the initial public issue & thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the schemes on the stock exchanges where the units are listed. In order to provide an exist route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the MF through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. These MF schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis
30. GROWTH/ EQUITY SCHEMES The fund under the scheme is predominantly invested in equity shares of companies. The main aim is to tap capital gains in the medium to long-term. Fluctuations in share prices may affect the growth or value of the fund. It has comparatively high risk, high return potential & highly extremely volatile. An investor entering an equity fund should understand that he is taking risk & should be prepared to remain invested in a scheme for a long tenure.
31. DEBT ORIENTED SCHEMES A scheme, which invests in debt securities, is known as a debt fund or debt oriented fund or income fund. The fund invests funds in bonds, debentures, Govt. securities, commercial paper & other money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunity of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds are affected because of changes in interest rates in the country.
32. BALANCED SCHEMES The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth & regular income as such schemes invest both in equities & fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. These are appropriate for investors looking for moderate growth. They generally invest 40-60% in equity & debt instruments.

These funds are appropriate for corporate & individual investors as a mean to park their surplus for short periods.
34. GILT FUNDS & INDEX FUNDS Gilt funds invest exclusively in government securities. Govt. securities have no default risk. These funds aim to invest in totally risk free securities. Risk management is total & return is secondary. Index funds are invested in the shares included in a share index. Amount is allocated among the stocks in such a percentage which each stock claims in the index by way of weightage. The returns are related to the movement in the index.
35. EQUITY LINKED SAVINGS SCHEME(ELSS) This scheme was brought into existence in 1992 by a notification of Ministry of Finance. Investors in this scheme are eligible for tax benefits.

38. NET ASSET VALUE(NAV) & ITS COMPUTATION The value of the units of a MF scheme is its net asset value (NAV) on a particular day. The NAV of a scheme is calculated as follows: NAV=Market value of investment + Current Assets + other expenses + accrued income – current liabilities- other liabilities- accrued expenses. All the MFs calculate the NAV continuously & disclose it everyday by posting it on the website of Association of MFs of India(AMFI). The repurchase price & the selling price are calculated on based on the NAV.
39. PRINCIPLE OF TIME DIVERSIFICATION This principle of time diversification has given rise to the concept of: Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) Systematic Transfer Plan (STP)
40. Systematic Investment Plan(SIP) This is a mode of investment where by the investor invests a fixed amount every month in a particular scheme. It is similar to a recurring bank deposit. As a concept, it is revolutionary. When the NAV is less, the investors will receive more number of units ( as in a declining market) . When the market is booming, he gets less number of units. But , the total investment until that date goes up high because of higher NAV.
41. Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) SWP is a mirror image of SIP. Under SWP, the investor would withdraw constant amounts periodically. The benefits are the same, namely that through SWP the investor can temper gains & losses, though it does not prevent losses. SWP also has income tax implications. Systematic Transfer Plan(STP)
