$hat is mutual fund%

& mutual fund is >ust the connecting "ridge or a financial intermediary that allows a group of in%esto

pool their money together with a predetermined in%estment o">ecti%e. The mutual fund will ha%e a manager who is responsi"le for in%esting the gathered money into specific securities ;stocs or "ond

3hen you in%est in a mutual fund! you are "uying units or portions of the mutual fund and thus on

in%esting "ecomes a shareholder or unit holder of the fund.

Mutual funds are considered as one of the "est a%aila"le in%estments as compare to others they arecost efficient and also easy to in%est in! thus "y pooling money together in a mutual fund! in%estors

purchase stocs or "onds with much lower trading costs than if they tried to do it on their own. But"iggest ad%antage to mutual funds is di%ersification! "y minimi#ing ris ? ma'imi#ing returns.

The Indian Mutual 4und has passed through three phases. The first phase was "etween /5+6 and /

and the only player was the @nit Trust of India! which had a total asset of ,s. +!8** crores at the en/522. The second phase is "etween /528 and /557 during which period 2 4unds were esta"lished ;

"ans and one each "y AI and (I<. The total assets under management had grown to +/!*)2 crothe end of /556 and the num"er of schemes was /+8.

The third phase "egan with the entry of pri%ate and foreign sectors in the Mutual 4und industry in /

othari :ioneer Mutual 4und was the first 4und to "e esta"lished "y the pri%ate sector in associationforeign 4und.

&s at the end of financial year )***;7/st march< 7) 4unds were functioning with ,s. /! /7!**0 cror

total assets under management. &s on august end )***! there were 77 4unds with 75/ schemes anassets under management with ,s /! *)!265 crores.

The securities and $'change Board of India ;S$BI< came out with comprehensi%e regulation in /557defined the structure of Mutual 4und and &sset Management ompanies for the first time. Se%eral p

sectors Mutual 4unds were launched in /557 and /556. The share of the pri%ate players has risen ra

since then. urrently there are 76 Mutual 4und organi#ations in India managing /!*)!*** crores.

Ma)or ty*es of mutual funds

$ach fund has a predetermined in%estment o">ecti%e that tailors the fundCs assets! regions of in%estand in%estment strategies. At the fundamental level,there are three varieties of mutual funds:

/< $9uity funds ;stocs<

)< 4i'ed-income funds ;"onds<7< Money maret funds



&ll mutual funds are %ariations of these three asset classes. 4or e'ample! while e9uity funds that in

fast-growing companies are nown as growth funds! e9uity funds that in%est only in companies of tsame sector or region are nown as specialty funds.

AetCs go o%er the many different fla%ors of funds. 3eCll start with the safest and then wor through tmore risy.

Money Mar+et Funds

The money maret consists of short-term de"t instruments! mostly Treasury "ills. This is a safe plac

par your money. ou wonCt get great returns! "ut you wonCt ha%e to worry a"out losing your princitypical return is twice the amount you would earn in a regular checingEsa%ings account and a little

than the a%erage certificate of deposit ;D<.

Bond,Income Funds

Income funds are named appropriatelyF their purpose is to pro%ide current income on a steady "asi

3hen referring to mutual funds! the terms =fi'ed-income!= ="ond!= and =income= are synonymous. terms denote funds that in%est primarily in go%ernment and corporate de"t. 3hile fund holdings ma

appreciate in %alue! the primary o">ecti%e of these funds is to pro%ide a steady cash flow to in%estorsuch! the audience for these funds consists of conser%ati%e in%estors and retirees.

Bond funds are liely to pay higher returns than certificates of deposit and money maret in%estme

"ut "ond funds arenCt without ris. Because there are many different types of "onds! "ond funds cadramatically depending on where they in%est. 4or e'ample! a fund speciali#ing in high-yield >un "o

much more risy than a fund that in%ests in go%ernment securities. 4urthermore! nearly all "ond fusu">ect to interest rate ris! which means that if rates go up the %alue of the fund goes down.

Balanced Funds

The o">ecti%e of these funds is to pro%ide a "alanced mi'ture of safety! income and capital apprecia

The strategy of "alanced funds is to in%est in a com"ination of fi'ed income and e9uities. & typical"alanced fund might ha%e a weighting of +*1 e9uity and 6*1 fi'ed income. The weighting might a

restricted to a specified ma'imum or minimum for each asset class.

& similar type of fund is nown as an asset allocation fund. O">ecti%es are similar to those of a "alafund! "ut these inds of funds typically do not ha%e to hold a specified percentage of any asset class

portfolio manager is therefore gi%en freedom to switch the ratio of asset classes as the economy mo

through the "usiness cycle.

E-uity Funds

4unds that in%est in stocs represent the largest category of mutual funds. (enerally! the in%estmeo">ecti%e of this class of funds is long-term capital growth with some income. There are! howe%er! mdifferent types of e9uity funds "ecause there are many different types of e9uities. & great way to

understand the uni%erse of e9uity funds is to use a style "o'! an e'ample of which is "elow.

The net asset %alue of the 4und is the cumulati%e maret %alue of the assets 4und net of its lia"ilitie

other words! if the 4und is dissol%ed or li9uidated! "y selling off all the assets in the 4und! this is th

amount that the shareholders would collecti%ely own. This gi%es rise to the concept of net asset %aluunit! which is the %alue! represented "y the ownership of one unit in the 4und. It is calculated simp

di%iding the net asset %alue of the 4und "y the num"er of units. Howe%er! most people refer looselyN&G per unit as N&G! ignoring the =per unit=. 3e also a"ide "y the same con%ention.

alculation of N&G

The most important part of the calculation is the %aluation of the assets owned "y the 4und. Once itcalculated! the N&G is simply the net %alue of assets di%ided "y the num"er of units outstanding. Th



detailed methodology for the calculation of the net asset %alue is gi%en "elow.The net asset %alue is the actual %alue of a unit on any "usiness day. N&G is the "arometer of the

performance of the scheme.

The net asset %alue is the maret %alue of the assets of the scheme minus its lia"ilities and e'penseper unit N&G is the net asset %alue of the scheme di%ided "y the num"er of the units outstanding on

%aluation date.
