Introduction
An investment means employment of funds on assets (i.e. securities or mutual
funds or any of the investment avenues) with the aim of earning of income as well
as capital appreciation. There are mainly two attributes while investing to any of
the means, i.e. time and risk. There are mainly four objectives, which the
investments activities will carry on those are:
Return Risk Liquidity Safety
There are many alternatives which investment avenues are open to the investors
to suit their needs and nature .The selection of investment alternatives are
depends up on the required level of return and the risk tolerance level. These
alternatives range from financial securities to traditional non-securities

Introduction of mutual fund
Concept of mutual funds
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share
a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital
market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income
earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realised are shared
by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a
Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an
opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities
at a relatively low cost. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a
mutual fund:
Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart
Mutual Funds Industry in India
The origin of mutual fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept
of mutual fund by UTI in the year 1963. Though the growth was slow, but it
accelerated from the year 1987 when non-UTI players entered the industry.
In the past decade, Indian mutual fund industry had seen a dramatic improvement,
both quality wise as well as quantity wise. Before, the monopoly of the market had
seen an ending phase, the Assets Under Management (AUM) was Rs. 67bn. The
private sector entry to the fund family rose the AUM to Rs. 470 bn in March 1993
and till April 2004, it reached the height of 1,540 bn. Putting the AUM of the
Indian Mutual Funds Industry into comparison, the total of it is less than the
deposits of SBI alone, constitute less than 11% of the total deposits held by the
Indian banking industry.
The main reason of its poor growth is that the mutual fund industry in India is new
in the country. Large sections of Indian investors are yet to be intellectuated with
the concept. Hence, it is the prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to
market the product correctly abreast of selling.
The mutual fund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to the
development of the sector. Each phase is briefly described as under.
First Phase - 1964-87
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was
set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and
administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked
from the RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the
regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched
by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6, 700 crores of
assets under management.
Second Phase - 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
Entry of non-UTI mutual funds. SBI Mutual Fund was the first followed by
Canbank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89),
Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda
Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC in 1989 and GIC in 1990. The end of 1993 marked
Rs.47,004 as assets under management.
Third Phase - 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)
With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian
mutual fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families.
Also, 1993 was the year in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into
being, under which all mutual funds, except UTI were to be registered and
governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton)
was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993.
The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more
comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now
functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996.
The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual
funds setting up funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers
and acquisitions. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with
total assets of Rs. 1, 21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs.44, 541 crores
of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.
Fourth Phase - since February 2003
This phase had bitter experience for UTI. It was bifurcated into two separate
entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with AUM of
Rs.29,835 crores (as on January 2003). The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of
India, functioning under an administrator and under the rules framed by
Government of India and does not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund
Regulations.
The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It
is registered with SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. With the
bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76,000
crores of AUM and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the
SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent mergers taking place among
different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its current
phase of consolidation and growth. As at the end of September, 2004, there were
29 funds, which manage assets of Rs.153108 crores under 421 schemes.

What is a Mutual Fund
Capital appreciations realized by the scheme are shared by its unit holders in
proportion to the number of A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a
number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected
is invested by the fund manager in different types of securities depending upon the
objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to debentures to money
market instruments. The income earned through these investments and the units
owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the
common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally
managed portfolio at a relatively low cost. The small savings of all the investors
are put together to increase the buying power and hire a professional manager to
invest and monitor the money. Anybody with an investible surplus of as little as a
few thousand rupees can invest in Mutual Funds. Each Mutual Fund scheme has a
defined investment objective and strategy.
Mutual Fund Structure
The structure consists of :
Sponsor
Sponsor is the person who acting alone or in combination with another body
corporate establishes a mutual fund. Sponsor must contribute at least 40% of the
net worth of the Investment Managed and meet the eligibility criteria prescribed
under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations,
1996.The Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any loss or shortfall resulting
from the operation of the Schemes beyond the initial contribution made by it
towards setting up of the Mutual Fund.
Trust
The Mutual Fund is constituted as a trust in accordance with the provisions of the
Indian Trusts Act, 1882 by the Sponsor. The trust deed is registered under the
Indian Registration Act, 1908
Trustee
Trustee is usually a company (corporate body) or a Board of Trustees (body of
individuals). The main responsibility of the Trustee is to safeguard the interest of
the unit holders and inter alia ensure that the AMC functions in the interest of
investors and in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, the provisions of the Trust Deed and the Offer
Documents of the respective Schemes. Atleast 2/3rd directors of the Trustee are
independent directors who are not associated with the Sponsor in any manner.
Asset Management Company (AMC)
The AMC is appointed by the Trustee as the Investment Manager of the Mutual
Fund. The AMC is required to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Board
of India(SEBI) to act as an asset management company of the Mutual Fund. At
least 50% of the directors of the AMC are independent directors who are not
associated with the Sponsor in any manner. The AMC must have a net worth of at
least 10 corers at all times.
Registrar and Transfer Agent
The AMC if so authorized by the Trust Deed appoints the Registrar and Transfer
Agent to the Mutual Fund. The Registrar processes the application form,
redemption requests and dispatches account statements to the unit holders. The
Registrar and Transfer agent also handles communications with investors and
updates investor records

Types of Schemes
Investment Objective
Schemes can be classified by way of their stated investment objective such as
Growth Fund, Balanced Fund, Income Fund etc.
Equity Oriented Schemes
These schemes, also commonly called Growth Schemes, seek to invest a majority of their funds in equities and a small portion in money market instruments. Such schemes have the potential to deliver superior returns over the long term. However, because they invest in equities, these schemes are exposed to fluctuations in value especially in the short term.
Equity schemes are hence not suitable for investors seeking regular income or needing to use their investments in the short-term. They are ideal for investors who have a long-term investment horizon. The NAV prices of equity fund fluctuates with market value of the underlying stock which are influenced by external factors such as social, political as well as economic. HDFC Growth Fund, HDFC Tax Plan 2000 and HDFC Index Fund are examples of equity schemes.
General Purpose
The investment objectives of general-purpose equity schemes do not restrict them
to invest in specific industries or sectors. They thus have a diversified portfolio of
companies across a large spectrum of industries. While they are exposed to equity
price risks, diversified general-purpose equity funds seek to reduce the sector or
stock specific risks through diversification. They mainly have market risk
exposure. HDFC Growth Fund is a general-purpose equity scheme.
Sector Specific
These schemes restrict their investing to one or more pre-defined sectors, e.g.
technology sector. Since they depend upon the performance of select sectors only,
these schemes are inherently more risky than general-purpose schemes. They are
suited for informed investors who wish to take a view and risk on the concerned
sector.
Special Schemes
Index schemes
The primary purpose of an Index is to serve as a measure of the performance of the
market as a whole, or a specific sector of the market. An Index also serves as a
relevant benchmark to evaluate the performance of mutual funds. Some investors
are interested in investing in the market in general rather than investing in any
specific fund. Such investors are happy to receive the returns posted by the
markets. As it is not practical to invest in each and every stock in the market in
proportion to its size, these investors are comfortable investing in a fund that they
believe is a good representative of the entire market. Index Funds are launched and
managed for such investors. An example to such a fund is the HDFC Index Fund.
Tax saving schemes
Investors (individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (“HUFs”)) are being
encouraged to invest in equity markets through Equity Linked Savings Scheme
(“ELSS”) by offering them a tax rebate. Units purchased cannot be assigned /
transferred/ pledged / redeemed / switched – out until completion of 3 years from
the date of allotment of the respective Units.
The Scheme is subject to Securities & Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds)
Regulations, 1996 and the notifications issued by the Ministry of Finance
(Department of Economic Affairs), Government of India regarding ELSS.
Subject to such conditions and limitations, as prescribed under Section 88 of the
Income-tax Act, 1961, subscriptions to the Units not exceeding Rs.10, 000 would
be eligible to a deduction, from income tax, of an amount equal to 20% of the
amount subscribed. HDFC Tax Plan 2000 is such a fund.
Real Estate Funds
Specialized real estate funds would invest in real estates directly, or may fund real
estate developers or lend to them directly or buy shares of housing finance
companies or may even buy their securitized assets.
Debt Based Schemes
These schemes, also commonly called Income Schemes, invest in debt securities
such as corporate bonds, debentures and government securities. The prices of these
schemes tend to be more stable compared with equity schemes and most of the
returns to the investors are generated through dividends or steady capital
appreciation. These schemes are ideal for conservative investors or those not in a
position to take higher equity risks, such as retired individuals. However, as
compared to the money market schemes they do have a higher price fluctuation
risk and compared to a Gilt fund they have a higher credit risk
Income Schemes
These schemes invest in money markets, bonds and debentures of corporates with
medium and long-term maturities. These schemes primarily target current income
instead of capital appreciation. They therefore distribute a substantial part of their
distributable surplus to the investor by way of dividend distribution. Such schemes
usually declare quarterly dividends and are suitable for conservative investors who
have medium to long term investment horizon and are looking for regular income
through dividend or steady capital appreciation. HDFC Income Fund, HDFC Short
Term Plan and HDFC Fixed Investment Plans are examples of bond schemes.
Liquid Income Schemes
Similar to the Income scheme but with a shorter maturity than Income schemes.
An example of this scheme is the HDFC Liquid Fund.
Money Market Schemes
These schemes invest in short term instruments such as commercial paper (“CP”),
certificates of deposit (“CD”), treasury bills (“T-Bill”) and overnight money
(“Call”). The schemes are the least volatile of all the types of schemes because of
their investments in money market instrument with short-term maturities. These
schemes have become popular with institutional investors and high networth
individuals having short-term surplus funds.
Gilt Funds
This scheme primarily invests in Government Debt. Hence the investor usually
does not have to worry about credit risk since Government Debt is generally credit
risk free. HDFC Gilt Fund is an example of such a scheme
Hybrid Schemes
These schemes are commonly known as balanced schemes. These schemes invest
in both equities as well as debt. By investing in a mix of this nature, balanced
schemes seek to attain the objective of income and moderate capital appreciation
and are ideal for investors with a conservative, long-term orientation. HDFC
Balanced Fund and HDFC Children’s Gift Fund are examples of hybrid schemes.
Constitution
Schemes can be classified as Closed-ended or Open-ended depending upon
whether they give the investor the option to redeem at any time (open-ended) or
whether the investor has to wait till maturity of the scheme
Open ended Schemes
The units offered by these schemes are available for sale and repurchase on any
business day at NAV based prices. Hence, the unit capital of the schemes keeps
changing each day. Such schemes thus offer very high liquidity to investors and
are becoming increasingly popular in India. Please note that an open-ended fund is
NOT obliged to keep selling/issuing new units at all times, and may stop issuing
further subscription to new investors. On the other hand, an open-ended fund rarely
denies to its investor the facility to redeem existing units.
Closed-ended schemes
The unit capital of a close-ended product is fixed as it makes a one-time sale of
fixed number of units. These schemes are launched with an initial public offer
(IPO) with a stated maturity period after which the units are fully redeemed at
NAV linked prices. In the interim, investors can buy or sell units on the stock
exchanges where they are listed. Unlike open-ended schemes, the unit capital in
closed-ended schemes usually remains unchanged. After an initial closed period,
the scheme may offer direct repurchase facility to the investors. Closed-ended
schemes are usually more illiquid as compared to open-ended schemes and hence
trade at a discount to the NAV. This discount tends towards the NAV closer to the
maturity date of the scheme.
Interval Schemes
These schemes combine the features of open-ended and closed-ended schemes.
They may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or redemption
during pre-determined intervals at NAV based prices.
RISK
The Risk-Return Trade-off
The most important relationship to understand is the risk-return trade-off. Higher
the risk greater the returns/loss and lower the risk lesser the returns/loss. Hence it is
upto you, the investor to decide how much risk you are willing to take. In order to
do this you must first be aware of the different types of risks involved with your
investment decision
Market Risk
Sometimes prices and yields of all securities rise and fall. Broad outside influences affecting the market in general lead to this. This is true, may it be big corporations or smaller mid-sized companies. This is known as Market Risk. A Systematic Investment Plan (“SIP”) that works on the concept of Rupee Cost Averaging (“RCA”) might help mitigate this risk.
Credit Risk
The debt servicing ability (may it be interest payments or repayment of principal)
of a company through its cash flows determines the Credit Risk faced by you. This
credit risk is measured by independent rating agencies like CRISIL who rate
companies and their paper. A ‘AAA’ rating is considered the safest whereas a ‘D’
rating is considered poor credit quality. A well-diversified portfolio might help
mitigate this risk.
Inflation Risk
Things you hear people talk about:
“Rs. 100 today is worth more than Rs. 100 tomorrow.”
“Remember the time when a bus ride coated 50 paise?”
“Mehangai Ka Jamana Hai.”
The root cause, Inflation. Inflation is the loss of purchasing power over time. A lot
of times people make conservative investment decisions to protect their capital but
end up with a sum of money that can buy less than what the principal could at the
time of the investment. This happens when inflation grows faster than the return on
your investment.
Interest Rate Risk
In a free market economy interest rates are difficult if not impossible to predict.
Changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If interest
rates rise the prices of bonds fall and vice versa. Equity might be negatively
affected as well in a rising interest rate environment. A well-diversified portfolio
might help mitigate this risk.
Political/Government Policy Risk
Changes in government policy and political decision can change the investment
environment. They can create a favorable environment for investment or vice versa
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises when it becomes difficult to sell the securities that one has
purchased. Liquidity Risk can be partly mitigated by diversification, staggering of
maturities as well as internal risk controls that lean towards purchase of liquid
securities.
Diversification
The nuclear weapon in your arsenal for your fight against Risk. It simply means
that you must spread your investment across different securities (stocks, bonds,
money market instruments, real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and different sectors
(auto, textile, information technology etc.). This kind of a diversification may add
to the stability of your returns, for example during one period of time equities
might underperform but bonds and money market instruments might do well
enough to offset the effect of a slump in the equity markets. Similarly the
information technology sector might be faring poorly but the auto and textile
sectors might do well and may protect you principal investment as well as help you
meet your return objectives
Benefits of Investing in Mutual Funds
Professional 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.
Diversification
Mutual 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 Administration
Investing 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 Potential
Over 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 Costs
Mutual 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.
Liquidity
In 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.
Transparency
you 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.
Flexibility
Through 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.
Affordability
Investors 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 Schemes
Mutual Funds offer a family of schemes to suit your varying needs over
a lifetime.
Well Regulated
All 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.
Drawbacks of Mutual Funds
No Guarantees: No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market
declines in value, the value of mutual fund shares will go down as well, no
matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer risks when
they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell stocks on their own.
However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of losing
money.
Fees and commissions: All funds charge administrative fees to cover
their day-to-day expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions or
"loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial planners.
Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you will pay a sales
commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.
Taxes: During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell
anywhere from 20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. If your
fund makes a profit on its sales, you will pay taxes on the income you
receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.
Management Risk: When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on
the fund's manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's portfolio.
If the manager does not perform as well as you had hoped, you might not
make as much money on your investment as you expected. Of course, if you
invest in Index Funds, you forego management risk, because these funds do
not employ managers
Rights of a Mutual Fund Unit holder
A unit holder in a Mutual Fund scheme governed by the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations is entitled to:
1. Receive unit certificates or statements of accounts confirming the title within
6 weeks from the date of closure of the subscription or within 6 weeks from
the date of request for a unit certificate is received by the Mutual Fund.
2. Receive information about the investment policies, investment objectives,
financial position and general affairs of the scheme.
3. Receive dividend within 42 days of their declaration and receive the
redemption or repurchase proceeds within 10 days from the date of
redemption or repurchase.
4. Vote in accordance with the Regulations to:-
a. Approve or disapprove any change in the fundamental investment policies of
the scheme, which are likely to modify the scheme or affect the interest of
the unit holder. The dissenting unit holder has a right to redeem the
investment.
b. Change the Asset Management Company.
c. Wind up the schemes.

Techniques Used
1) Return
Return on a typical investment consists of two components. The basic is the
periodic cash receipts (or income) on the investment, either in the form of interest
or dividends. The second component is the change in the price of the assets-
commonly called the capital gain or loss. This element of return is the difference
between the purchase price and the price at which the assets can be or is sold;
therefore, it can be again or a loss.
The return has been calculated as under
NAVt – NAVt-1
Portfolio return: Rit =---------------------------------
NAV t-1
Where Rit is the difference between Net Asset Values for two consecutive days divided by the NAV of the preceding day.
M.indt – M.indt-1
Market return: Rmt =--------------------------------
M.indt-1
Where Rmt is the difference between market indices of two consecutive day’s dividend by the market index for the preceding day
2) Risk
Risk is neither good nor bad. Risk in holding securities is generally associated with the possibility that realized returns will be less than expected returns. The difference between the required rate of returns on mutual fund investment and the risk free return is the risk premium. Risk can be measured in terms of Beta & standard deviations.
Standard deviation
It is used to measure the variation in individual returns from the average expected
returns over a certain period. Standard deviation is used in the concept of risk of a
portfolio of investments. Higher standard deviation means a greater fluctuation in
expected return.
Standard deviation (SD) =\/ var
Where Var = variance
Var= p (ri-E(r)) 2
Beta
Beta measures the systematic risk and shows how prices of securities respond to
the market forces. It is calculated by relating the return on a security with return for
the market. By convention, market will have beta 1.0.Mutual fund is said to be
volatile, more volatile or less volatile. If beta is grater than 1 the stock is said to be
riskier than market. If beta is less than 1,the indication is that stock is less risky in
comparison to market. If beta is zero then the risk is the same as that of the market.
Negative beta is rare.

Where,
n= number of days
X =rolling returns of the NSE index
Y= rolling returns of the schemes
3) Sharpe index
Sharpe index measures risk premium of a portfolio, relative to the total amount of
risk in the portfolio. Sharpe index summarizes the risk and return of a portfolio in a
single measure that categorizes the performance of funds on the risk- adjusted
basis. The larger the Sharpe’s index the portfolio over performs the market and
vise versa.
Where,
St = Sharpe’s index
Rp= portfolio return
Rf= Risk free rate of return (7.59%)
SD= Standard Deviation of the port folio
St= RP-Rf
4) Treynor’s Index
Treynor’s model is on the concept of the characteristics straight line. The
characteristics line has drawn a relationship between the market return and a
specific portfolio without taking into consideration any direct adjustment for risk.
It is also known as reward to volatility ratio and is defined as:
The formula for Treynor’s Index is:
Portfolio avg return (Rp) – risk-free rate of interest (Rf)
Treynor index (Tn) = ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Beta coefficient of portfolio (Bp)
Rp -Rf
Tn = -------------------------
Bp
It measures portfolio risk in terms of beta, which is weighted average of individual
security beta. The ratio is investors, for who the fund represents only a fraction of
their total assets. The higher the ratio better is the performance.

Limitations of the study
The data collection was strictly confined to secondary sources. No primary Data was not associated with the project Collecting historical NAV is very difficult Selection of schemes for study is very difficult because lot of verities of
schemes.
Conclusion
The above evaluation according to Sharpe index the HDFC equity scheme falls
under 1st rank & according to traynor HDFC long term advantage fund falls under
1st rank but here only diff was 2.11 as compare reliance.
I would like to conclude that HDFC schems are performing well as compare to
other competitors even time factor it was started late but its returns is high as
compared to competitor.
As HDFC mutual fund has to concentrate more on marketing their scheme, as its
schemes are performing well, and it should maintain its rank 1 position.
