portfolio is structured and maintained to match the in*estment objecti*es stated in its

prospectus.

" mutual fund is a common pool of money into which in*estors place their contributions

that are to be in*ested in accordance with a stated objecti*e. $he benefits to in*estors in

buying units of mutual funds come primarily from di*ersification, professional money

management, and taC benefits.

Schemes in a mutual fund are managed by a professional in*estment manager Dcalled a 2und

Manager who has many years of rele*ant eCperience and is hence likely to manage the

in*estments better than an indi*idual in*estor. )ormally, different 2und Managers manage

schemes in*esting in different asset classes, i.e. eFuity schemes and debt schemes Dbonds,

debentures are usually managed by separate 2und Managers.

" mutual fund is normally formed as a $rust and is go*erned by a !oard of $rustees G see

diagram below. $he $rustees in turn appoint an in*estment ad*isor to manage the *arious

schemes launched by the mutual fund. $his in*estment ad*isor is called an "sset

Management ompany D"M. $he "M is responsible for marketing and selling the

schemes, in*esting the funds collected by it and ser*icing the in*estors. $he "M is

responsible to the $rustees and has to take their appro*al for all major actions taken inconnection with the mutual fund. $o help the "M in its daily acti*ities, it appoints

specialists in different areas H a Registrar > $ransfer DR>$ "gent , a ustodian and one or

more !anks.

%. MUTUAL FUND AN INVESTMENT PLATFORM

Mutual fund is an in*estment company that pools money from small in*estors and in*ests

in a *ariety of securities, such as stocks, bonds and money market instruments. Most openHend

Mutual funds stand ready to buy back Dredeem its shares at their current net asset *alue, which

depends on the total market *alue of the fundBs in*estment portfolio at the time of

redemption. Most openHend Mutual funds continuously offer new shares to in*estors. #t is also

known as an openHend in*estment company, to differentiate it from a closedHend in*estment

company.

Mutual funds in*est pooled cash of many in*estors to meet the fundBs stated in*estment

objecti*e. Mutual funds stand ready to sell and redeem their shares at any time at the funds

current net asset *alue: total fund assets di*ided by shares outstanding.

#n Simple 5ords, Mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling the resources by issuing units to

the in*estors and in*esting funds in securities in accordance with objecti*es as disclosed in

offer document.

#n*estments in securities are spread across a wide crossHsection of industries and sectors

and thus the risk is reduced. 3i*ersification reduces the risk because not all stocks may mo*e

in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units t o the

in*estors in accordance with Fuantum of money in*ested by them. #n*estors of Mutual fund

are known as unit holders. $he profits or losses are shared by the in*estors in proportion to their

with the state d in*estment objecti*e of the scheme. $he in*estment manager would in*est the

money collected from the in*estor in to assets that are definedI permitted by the stated

objecti*e of the scheme. 2or eCample, a n eFuity fund would in*est eFuity and eFuity

related instruments and a debt fund would in*est in bonds, debentures, gilts etc. Mutual fund is

a suitable in*estment for the common ma n a s it offers an 'porto unity to in*est in a

"s we know that mutual funds offer a *ariety of schemes, it is also considered to be a di*ersified

in*estment *ehicle which means that to a large eCtent because of its feature of di*ersification it

reduces your risk, but remember it does not eliminate your risk completely which means that if

you decide to in*est in eFuity market or in debt market through mutual funds the risk associated

with those markets still remain with you. Maybe the impact of that through the mutual fund is

much less then as compared to if you were to in*est directly in those. #f you talk about eFuity

funds there are certain risks eFuated with eFuity markets, for eCample there are macroeconomic

risks. "s we know that stocks prices are always sensiti*e to what is happening in economies, be

it local economy, be it international economies, how is the currency doing, what is happening to

the interest rate, where is the inflation, how are the companies performing, all these factors ha*e

an impact on the stock prices. So as long as the economy is doing *ery well that would reflect in

the stock prices and that would reflect in your )et "sset 4alue D )"4 . So always remember that macroeconomic factors will ha*e an impact on your in*estments there. Second risk is the

liFuidity risk. $here are always going to be some stocks in the portfolio which may not be that

liFuid and also it depends on the nature of fund that you are in*ested in. 2or eCample, if you are

in*ested in a large cap stock there there is no problem of liFuidity because all these large cap

stocks are Fuite liFuid, but if you are in*ested in a small cap fund the liFuidity is going to be an

issue and there is also a risk of *olatility. 5e know that eFuity market by nature is *olatile. So

whene*er you in*est in eFuity funds keep at the back of your mind that you may ha*e to face

*olatility from time to time and be prepared for that. #f you talk about debt funds, debt funds

again there is a risk of interest rate. $here is an in*erse relationship between interest rates and the

bond prices which means that e*ery time the interest rate goes down there are certain types of

debt funds which will do *ery well and there are certain types of funds that will not do *ery well.

So always keep an eye on emerging interest rate scenario. $here is also a risk of credit risk. 5hat

is that credit riskT 5hen you in*est in a bond fund the money is ultimately in*ested in some

securities. E*ery security is actually rated. Make sure that when you in*est in a fund, the fund

has in*ested in higher grade in*estment securities because the company can default in terms of

paying interest or principal or both. $he third risk as in the eFuity market there is also a risk of

liFuidity. E*en though there is a secondary debt market, but it is not ha*ing that much of a depth

today so there can always be some securities in the fund which the fund may find difficult to

liFuidate.

CONCLUSIONS!

Mutual fund has become one of the important sources for in*esting. #t is Fuite likely that a more

efficient portfolio can be constructed directly from funds. $hus, the twoHstep process of choosing

an asset allocation based on the information about benchmark indeCes and then choosing funds

in each category may be one of the best realistically attainable approaches. $o use this approach

to portfolio selection effecti*ely, in*estors would benefit from estimates of future asset returns,

risks and correlations, as well as from fund managements disclosure of future asset eCposures

and appropriate benchmarks.

#t has been a great opportunity for me to get a first eCperience of Mutual 2unds. My study is to

get the feel of how the work is carried out in relation to funds portfolio aspect. # got an

opportunity in relation to the documentation and also the portfolio analysis that ha*e been

carrying out in facilitating the in*estor and the fund manager.
