  History of Mutual fund

When three Boston securities executives pooled their money together

in 1924 to create the first mutual fund, they had no idea how popular mutual
funds would become.

The idea of pooling money together for investing purposes started in

Europe in the mid-1800s. The first pooled fund in the U.S. was created in
1893 for the faculty and staff of Harvard University. On March 21 st, 1924
the first official mutual fund was born. It was called the Massachusetts
investors trust.

After one year, the Massachusetts investors trust grew from $50000 in
assets in 1924 to $392000 in assets (with around 200 shareholders). In
contrast, there are over 10000 mutual funds in the U.S. today totaling around
$7 trillion (with approximately 83 million individual investors) according to
the investment company institute.

6
  Introduction of Mutual fund
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 capital appreciation realized by the scheme are shared by its unit
holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them (pro rata). 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. 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.

A mutual fund is the ideal investment vehicle for today’s complex and
modern financial scenario. Markets for equity shares, bonds and other fixed
income instruments, real estate, derivatives and other assets have become
mature and information driven. Price changes in these assets are driven by
global events occurring in faraway places. A typical individual is unlikely to
have the knowledge, skills, inclination and time to keep track of events,
understand their implications and act speedily. An individual also finds it
difficult to keep track of ownership of his assets, investments, brokerage
dues and bank transactions etc.

7
 A mutual fund is the answer to all these situations. It appoints
professionally qualified and experienced staff that manages each of these
functions on a full time basis. The large pool of money collected in the fund
allows it to hire such staff at a very low cost to each investor. In effect, the
mutual fund vehicle exploits economies of scale in all three areas - research,
investments and transaction processing. While the concept of individuals
coming together to invest money collectively is not new, the mutual fund in
its present form is a 20th century phenomenon. In fact, mutual funds gained
popularity only after the Second World War. Globally, there are thousands
of firms offering tens of thousands of mutual funds with different investment
objectives. Today, mutual funds collectively manage almost as much as or
more money as compared to banks.

A draft offer document is to be prepared at the time of launching the

fund. Typically, it pre specifies the investment objectives of the fund, the
risk associated, the costs involved in the process and the broad rules for
entry into and exit from the fund and other areas of operation. In India, as in
most countries, these sponsors need approval from a regulator, SEBI
(Securities exchange Board of India) in our case. SEBI looks at track records
of the sponsor and its financial strength in granting approval to the fund for
commencing operations.

A sponsor then hires an asset management company to invest the

funds according to the investment objective. It also hires another entity to be

8
the custodian of the assets of the fund and perhaps a third one to handle
registry work for the unit holders (subscribers) of the fund.

In the Indian context, the sponsors promote the Asset Management

Company also, in which it holds a majority stake. In many cases a sponsor
can hold a 100% stake in the Asset Management Company (AMC). E.g.
Birla Global Finance is the sponsor of the Birla Sun Life Asset Management
Company Ltd., which has floated different mutual funds schemes and also
acts as an asset manager for the funds collected under the scheme.

(Fluctuates)

A Mutual Fund is a common pool of money in to which investors with

common investment objective place their contributions that are to be
invested in accordance with the stated investment objective of the scheme.
The investment manager would invest the money collected from the investor
in to assets that are defined/ permitted by the stated objective of the scheme.
For example, an equity fund would invest equity and equity related
instruments and a debt fund would invest in bonds, debentures, gilts etc.

10
 Benefits of Mutual Funds:-

 Affordability:
A mutual fund invests in a portfolio of assets, i.e. bonds, shares, etc.
depending upon the investment objective of the scheme. An investor can buy
in to a portfolio of equities, which would otherwise be extremely expensive.
Each unit holder thus gets an exposure to such portfolios with an investment
as modest as Rs.500/-. This amount today would get you less than quarter of
an Infosys share! Thus it would be affordable for an investor to build a
portfolio of investments through a mutual fund rather than investing directly
in the stock market.

 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 your principal investment as well as help you meet your
return objectives.

11
  Variety
Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This variety is
beneficial in two ways: first, it offers different types of schemes to investors
with different needs and risk appetites; secondly, it offers an opportunity to
an investor to invest sums across a variety of schemes, both debt and equity.
For example, an investor can invest his money in a Growth Fund (equity
scheme) and Income Fund (debt scheme) depending on his risk appetite and
thus create a balanced portfolio easily or simply just buy a Balanced
Scheme.

 Professional Management:-
Qualified investment professionals who seek to maximize returns and
minimize risk monitor investor's money. When you buy in to a mutual fund,
you are handing your money to an investment professional that has
experience in making investment decisions. It is the Fund Manager's job to
(a) find the best securities for the fund, given the fund's stated investment
objectives; and (b) keep track of investments and changes in market
conditions and adjust the mix of the portfolio, as and when required.

12
  Tax Benefits
Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in
the assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to
Unit holders of open-ended equity-oriented funds, income distributions for
the year ending March 31, 2003, will be taxed at a confessional rate of
10.5%.

In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families a deduction upto

Rs. 9,000 from the Total Income will be admissible in respect of income
from investments specified in Section 80L, including income from Units of
the Mutual Fund. Units of the schemes are not subject to Wealth-Tax and
Gift-Tax.

 Regulations:-
Securities Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), the mutual funds
regulator has clearly defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules
relate to the formation, administration and management of mutual funds and
also prescribe disclosure and accounting requirements. Such a high level of
regulation seeks to protect the interest of investors.

directors who are not associated with the Sponsor in any manner. The AMC
must have a networth of at least 10 crore at all times.

15
  Registrar and Transfer Agent: -

  Types of Mutual funds

In the investment market, one can find a variety of investors with

different needs, objectives and risk taking capacities.

17
 Mutual Fund schemes can broadly be classified into many types as
given below:

Close-ended Funds:-
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.

Features: - The main features of the close-ended funds are:

 The period and/or the target amount of the fund are definite and fixed
beforehand.
 Once the period is over and/or the target is reached, the door is closed for
the investors. They cannot purchase any more units.
 These units are publicly traded through stock exchange and generally,
there is no repurchase facility by the fund.
 The main objective of this fund is capital appreciation.
 The whole fund is available for the entire duration of the scheme and
there will not be any redemption demands before its maturity.

18
 At the time of redemption, the entire investment pertaining to a closed-
end scheme is liquidated and the proceeds are distributed among the unit
holders.

Open-ended Funds:-
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through
the year. These do not have a fixed maturity. Investors can conveniently buy
and sell units at Net Asset Value ("NAV") related prices. The key feature of
open-end schemes is liquidity.

Features: - The main features of the Open-ended funds are:

 There is complete flexibility with regard to one's investment or

disinvestment.
 These units are not publicly traded but the Fund is ready to repurchase
them and resell them at any time.
 The investor is offered install liquidity in the sense that the unit can be
sold on any working day to the Fund.
 The main objective of this fund is income generation. The inventors
get dividend, right or bonuses as rewards for their investment.
 Generally, the listed prices are close to their Net Asset Value. The
Fund fixes a different price for their purchases and sales.

19
On The Basis Of Income

 Income Funds:-
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to
investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as
bonds, corporate debentures and Government securities. Income Funds are
ideal for capital stability and regular income.

Features: - The main features of the Income funds are:

 The investor is assured of regular income at periodic intervals, says

Half- yearly or years and so on.
 The main objective of this type fund is to declare regular dividends
and not capital appreciation.
 The pattern of investment is oriented towards high and fixed income
yielding securities like debentures, bonds etc.
 This is best suited to the old and retired people who may not have any
regular income.
 It concerns itself with short run gains only.

20
  Growth Funds:-
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the
medium to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a majority of their
corpus in equities. It has been proven that returns from stocks, have
outperformed most other kind of investments held over the long term.
Growth schemes are ideal for investors having a long-term outlook seeking
growth over a period of time.

Features: - The main features of the Growth funds are:

 The Growth oriented fund aims at meeting the investors' need

for capital appreciation.
 The Investment strategy therefore, conforms to the Fund
objective by investing the fund predominantly on equities with
high growth potential.
 The Fund tries to get capital appreciation by taking much risk
and investing on risk bearing equities and high growth equity
shares.
 The Fund may declare dividend, but its principal objective is
only capital appreciation.
 This is best suited to salaried and business people who have
high risk bearing capacity and ability to defer liquidity. They
can accumulate wealth for future needs.

21
  Balance Funds:-
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular
income. Such schemes periodically distribute a part of their earning and
invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion
indicated in their offer documents. In a rising stock market, the NAV of
these schemes may not normally keep pace, or fall equally when the market
falls. These are ideal for investors looking for a combination of income and
moderate growth.

 Specialised Funds:-

 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.

22
  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.

 Money Market Funds:

The aim of money market funds is to provide easy liquidity,
preservation of capital and moderate income. These schemes generally
invest in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills, certificates of
deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money. Returns on these
schemes may fluctuate depending upon the interest rates prevailing in the
market. These are ideal for corporate and individual investors as a means to
park their surplus funds for short periods.
 Load Funds
A Load Fund is one that charges a commission for entry or exit. That
is, each time you buy or sell units in the fund, a commission will be payable.
Typically entry and exit loads range from 1% to 2%. It could be worth
paying the load, if the fund has a good performance history.

 No-Load Funds
A No-Load Fund is one that does not charge a commission for entry
or exit. That is, no commission is payable on purchase or sale of units in the
fund. The advantage of a no load fund is that the entire corpus is put to
work.

Prudential ICICI offer employees an ideal environment to progress

given a great deal of independence and responsibility to manage their
assignments and make their contributions count.

28
 We strive to provide our people with a professional work environment
and a culture of respect, openness and trust. We seek to reward our people
commensurate with their contributions at a competitive standard compared
to the industry. Our managers in PruICICI are measured on how they build
an environment that engenders meritocracy and rewards contribution. Our
salary plus bonus compensation framework provides each person a means of
substantially benefiting through performance related pay.

29
 Equity funds seek to provide maximum growth of capital with
secondary emphasis on dividend or interest income. They invest in common
stocks with a high potential for rapid growth and capital appreciation. An
equity fund gives an exposure to the stock market. The fund would have
long-term growth potential but provide low current income. They are not
suitable for investors who are risk averse and are focused on maximizing
current income or conserving principal.

The funds offered under this category are the Prudential ICICI Growth
Plan,

Prudential ICICI FMCG Fund,

Prudential ICICI Technology Fund,

Prudential ICICI Tax Plan,

Prudential ICICI Index Fund,

Prudential ICICI Power,

Prudential ICICI Dynamic Plan,

Prudential ICICI Discovery Plan,

Prudential ICICI Emerging S.T.A.R. Fund,

Prudential ICICI Infrastructure Fund and

Prudential ICICI Services Industries Fund.

30
 The overriding objective of the AMC in managing its investments is
to produce a consistently above average long-term performance.

The AMC believes in a bottom-up approach to stock picking. This

means that the focus is on the fundamental quality of companies as opposed
to a focus on favoured sectors and market movements.

The AMC will follow a structured investment process in order to

identify the best stocks for inclusion in the portfolio. This would involve
consistently examining all stocks under an internally developed research
framework. A stock would be considered or inclusion in the portfolio when
the valuation does not adequately capture its underlying fundamental value
in the AMC's opinion based on the above factors.

The AMC's portfolio management style is conducive to a low

portfolio turnover rate. However, the AMC will take advantage of the
opportunities that present themselves from time to time because of
inefficiencies of the securities markets. The AMC will endevour to balance
the increased cost on account of higher portfolio turnover with the benefits
derived therefrom.

31
 Balanced funds are more evenly invested in equities and income
securities. Balanced and equity-income funds are suitable for conservative
investors who want high current yield with some growth. If you seek to
generate long-term capital appreciation and current income, an investment in
the balanced fund would be ideal. It gives you an exposure to the stock
market without the entire risk of the stock market.

The funds offered under this category are the Prudential ICICI
Balanced Fund,

Prudential ICICI Child Care Plan and

Prudential ICICI Blended Plan.

The AMC proposes to invest in a mix of equities and fixed income

securities with the aim of generating capital appreciation, while at the same
time minimizing the volatility inherent in pure equity schemes. With this
aim, the AMC would allocate the assets between equity and fixed income
instruments within the limits laid down for each scheme.

The goal of fixed income funds is to provide high current income

consistent with the preservation of capital. Growth of capital is of secondary

32
importance. These funds invest in corporate bonds or government securities
that have a fixed rate of return. The funds are suitable for investors who
want to maximize current income and who do not wish to assume a high
degree of capital risk in order to do so.Since bond prices fluctuate with
changing interest rates, there is some principal risk involved despite the
fund's conservative nature.

The funds offered under this category are the

Prudential ICICI Income Plan,

the Prudential ICICI Gilt-Treasury Fund,

The Prudential ICICI Gilt-Investment Fund,

Prudential ICICI Liquid plan,

Prudential ICICI Fixed Maturity Plan,

Prudential ICICI Short Term Plan,

Prudential ICICI Long Term Plan,

Prudential ICICI Sweep Plan,

Prudential ICICI Income Multiplier Fund,

Prudential ICICI Monthly Income Plan,

Prudential ICICI Flexible Income Plan,

Prudential ICICI Gilt Fund PF Option,

Prudential ICICI Long Term Floating Rate Plan and Prudential ICICI
Floating Rate Plan.

33
 The AMC aims to identify securities, which offer superior levels of
yield at lower levels of risks. With the aim of controlling risks, rigorous in-
depth credit evaluation of the securities proposed to be invested in will be
carried out by the investment team of the AMC. The credit evaluation
includes a study of the operating environment of the company, the past track
record as well as the future prospects of the issuer, the short as well as
longer term financial health of the issuer.Rated debt instruments in which
the Scheme invests will be of investment grade as rated by a credit rating
agency. In case a debt instrument is not rated, specific approval of the Board
of the AMC will be obtained for such an investment.

In addition, the investment team of the AMC studies the macro economic
conditions, including the politico-economic environment and factors
affecting liquidity and interest rates. The AMC would use this analysis to
attempt to predict the likely direction of interest rates and position the
portfolio appropriately to take advantage of the same.

 Finding
 In compassion to MFs people are more interested in
investing in other instruments like bank deposits, post office
saving schemes, PPF, NSC, LIC etc.

 Now days because of higher growth of Indian capital market

peoples are little bit aware about MF.

 People with more good income are not investing in MFs

because these do not know the concept of MF properly and
more area thinks that MFs now a day's are becoming risky due
to unstable equity market.

 People are investing their money for regular income in post

office, Bank Deposits and there sources but they don't invest in
Mutual fund.

67
68
 Suggestions
Considering the above findings the suggestion is: -

 Due to lack or less awareness of people about MFS they are

not investing in it. Hence, it is necessary to educate them by
arranging some educational seminar be on MFS to show them
how to invest in MFS? What is the liquidity? What is the risk
covered in MFS?

 Most of people know only UTI MFs only. Hence, it is necessary

to increase advertisement effort for private MFs & public MFs.

 They are have to increase their awareness advertisement

campaign as they do in cash of bonds and fixed deposits so
that manned awareness of MFs increase and inventory can
think before investity in bon do or fixed deposits or equity
shares.
