2. Mutual Fund of Bangladesh
Introduction:
A Mutual Fund is a professionally managed collective investment scheme that pools
money from many investors and invests typically in securities (stocks, bonds, short
term money market instruments, other mutual funds and other securities) on
behalf of the investors/unit holders and distributes the profits
In other words, a mutual fund allows an investor to indirectly take a position in a
basket of assets. Bangladesh has a small community of 29 merchant banks licensed
by the SEC. These merchant banks lack skilled personnel and possess too small a
market share to exert any impact in the domestic capital market. The pool of
organized investment funds is miniscule hence the merchant banks have failed to
build up a viable retail client base. Complementing the role of merchant banks are
323 securities firms that are members of the stock exchanges. These companies
suffer from low capitalization, weak governance, and inefficient operations. Here
were the corporate governance plays a big role. It is the system by which companies
are directed and controlled. It considers such matters as how board of directors
operate the role of executive, compensation in determining firm performance, and
the role of multiple shareholders. Corporate governance in financial intermediary’s
(mutual funds) in Bangladesh is a paramount issue as economic reforms have not
only increased growth prospects, but they have also made markets more
competitive. This means that in order to survive companies will need to invest
continuously on a large scale. And due to this large-scale investment, it is
imperative for firms to rely on capital markets to a greater degree for their needs
of additional capital. Simultaneously, the increasing institutionalization of the
capital markets has enhanced the disciplining power of the market.

3. PHPMF1(PHP FIRST MUTUAL FUND)
PHP FIRST MUTUAL FUND (hereinafter the Fund) involves certain considerations in
addition to the risks normally associated with making investments in securities.
There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. The
value of the Fund may go down as well as up and there can be no assurance that
on redemption, or otherwise, investors will receive the amount originally invested.
Accordingly, the Fund is only suitable for investment by investors who understand
the risks involved and who are willing and able to withstand the loss of their
investments.

diversification, liquidity as well as tax benefits. Besides, through mutual
funds investors can gain access to investment opportunities that would

needs however, the key is to do proper selection and have a process for
monitoring and controlling. Bangladesh the mutual fund industry is at a
growing stage and it is incorporating a higher number of new funds each
year.
