involved in the scheme. Therefore, while investing, investors should carefully evaluate and analyse the market and
other factors.
 Based on the study it is analysed that the investor can invest in SBI Focused Equity Fund and SBI Short Term Debt
schemes based on their ability to invest.
 All selected funds are showing Beta value less than 1, which means that the funds are less volatile than the
market.
 The higher Sharpe and Janson measure value shows the better performance.
 Investment is less risky when compare to investment in individual shares.
Suggestions: -
 If investor wants to get more return than the market, they have to take more risk. They should invest in SBI Long
Equity Fund. Whereas if they want to take less risk than they should invest in SBI Focused Equity Fund.
 Standard deviation and Beta measures risk of the scheme but while investing standard deviation should be given
more preference as it calculates both systematic and unsystematic risk.
 Risk and returns are travels in same direction, if investor wants more return, he should take more risk and invest in
more riskier funds, and if he wants less return he can invest in less riskier funds.

14. Conclusion: -
As I have selected 10 mutual fund schemes from SBI mutual fund company. In SBI Focused Equity Fund and SBI
Short Term Debt fund is performing better than other 8 mutual fund schemes. But SBI Focused Equity Fund is also
performing better that holds First rank in all the tools calculated like Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, Jenson ratio . So, I
would prefer investor to invest in the SBI Focused Equity Fund.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
WORKING EXPERIENCE IN THE ORGANISATION
Internship at this SBI mutual fund gave me practical knowledge. Also, I improved my communication. As a part of my
internship I got the knowledge about various funds like equity funds, debt funds and hybrid funds. During the
internship I have to sit in 2 branches of SBI to approach the customer to do the investment. The internship programme
helped me to understand the functioning of the organization. And also, I learnt how to approach customers in the bank
to invest in mutual funds. And also I learnt about the performance of the funds, diversity of the funds etc
Since every week I had to inform my guide about what I learnt, I also learn to prepare reports. I would conclude saying
that, Internship gave me Practical exposure to the functionality of the organization.
