EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Investing money where the risk is less has always been risky to decide. The first factor, which an

investor would like to see before investing, is risk factor. Diversification of risk gave birth to thephenomenon called Mutual Fund.

The Mutual Fund Industry is in the growing stage in India, which is evident from the flood of

mutual funds offered by the Banks, Financial Institutes & Private Financial Companies. As a part

of my study curriculum it is necessary to conduct a grand project. It provides me an opportunity

to understand the particular topic in depth and which leads to that topic.

A host of factors has contributed to this explosive growth of the industry. The industry has made

significant strides in terms of its variety, sophistication and regulation. Due to the economic

boom, entry of foreign asset management companies, favorable stock markets and aggressive

marketing by mutual funds, the asset management industry in India is witnessing dramatic growth

in terms of new fund openings, the number of mutual fund families, and in the total assets under

management in recent years.

Despite various attractions offered, the total net assets of mutual funds are very less as compared

to other developed countries. In the product offering too, the Indian fund industry is not close to

the developed countries. Indias 32 member fund industry has to scale new heights to narrow the

gap with the other developed countries.

To achieve this, the Indian mutual fund industry needs to widen its range of products with

affordable and competitive schemes that combine various elements of liquidity, return and

security in making mutual fund products the best possible alternative for the small investors in

the Indian market. Besides, mutual funds can survive only if they perform well and satisfy the

expectations of the investors.

In this context a sincere attempt has been made by the researcher to examine the steady growth

of the industry, the innovations and the development that has taken place in India. This research

on Mutual Fund industry will specifically focus on the SBI Mutual Funds.

INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUND

A mutual fund is just the connecting bridge or a financial intermediary that allows a group

of investors to pool their money together with a predetermined investment objective. The

mutual fund will have a fund manager who is responsible for investing the gathered money

into specific securities (stocks or bonds). When you invest in a mutual fund, you are buying

units or portions of the mutual fund and thus on investing becomes a shareholder or unit

holder of the fund.

Mutual funds are considered as one of the best available investments as compare to others

they are very cost efficient and also easy to invest in, thus by pooling money together in a

mutual fund, investors can purchase stocks or bonds with much lower trading costs than if

they tried to do it on their own. But the biggest advantage to mutual funds is diversification,

by minimizing risk & maximizing returns.

Organization Structure of a Mutual Fund

There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the

Organizational set up of a mutual fund.

Fund Sponsor:

A sponsor is any person who, acting alone or in combination with another body corporate,

establishes a MF. The sponsor of a fund is similar to the promoter of a company. In accordance

with SEBI Regulations, the sponsor forms a trust and appoints a Board of Trustees, and also

generally appoints an AMC as fund manager. In addition, the sponsor also appoints a custodian

to hold the fund assets. The sponsor must contribute at least 40% of the net worth of the AMC

and possess a sound financial track record over five years prior to registration.

Trustees:

The MF or trust can either be managed by the Board of Trustees, which is a body of individuals,

or by a Trust Company, which is a corporate body. Most of the funds in India are managed by

Board of Trustees. The trustee being the primary guardian of the unit holders funds and assets

has to be a person of high repute and integrity. The trustees, however, do not directly manage the

portfolio securities. The portfolio is managed by the AMC as per the defined objectives,

accordance with Trust Deed and SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations.

Asset Management Company (AMC):

The AMC, which is appointed by the sponsor or the trustees and approved by SEBI, acts like the

investment manager of the trust. The AMC functions under the supervision of its own Board of

Directors, and also under the direction of the trustees and SEBI. AMC, in the name of the trust,

floats and manages the different investment schemes as per the SEBI Regulations and as per

the

Investment Management Agreement signed with the Trustees.

Others:

Apart from these, the Mutual Fund has some other fund constituents, such as custodians and

depositories, banks, transfer agents and distributors.

The custodian is appointed for safe keeping of securities and participating in the clearing systemthrough approved depository. The bankers handle the financial dealings of the fund. Transfer

agents are responsible for issue and redemption of units of Mutual Fund.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:

A mutual fund, say, Birla Mutual Fund, can have several 'funds' [called 'schemes' in India) under

its management. These different funds can be categorized by structure, investment objective and

others. It would be well illustrated by the following chart:

BY STRUCTURE

1. Open - Ended Schemes:

An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through the year. These do not have

a fixed maturity. Investors "an conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV)

related prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.

2. Close - Ended Schemes:

A closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging from 3 to 15 years.

The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors can invest in

7/25/2019 WIP-BIRLA

11/37

11

the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell

the units of the schemes on the stock exchanges: where they are listed. In order to provide

an exit route t0 the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units

to the Mutual Fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations

stipulate that at least One of the two exit routes is provided t0 the investor.

3. Interval Schemes:

Interval Schemes are that scheme, which combines the features of open-ended and close ended

schemes. The units may be traded on the stock exchange or may be open for sale or redemption

during pre-determined intervals at NA V related prices.

B) BY NATURE:

1. Equity Fund:

These funds invest the maximum part of their corpus into equities holdings. The structure of the

fund may vary different for different schemes and the fund managers outlook on different stocks.

The Equity Funds are sub-classified depending upon their investment objective, as follows:

Diversified Equity Funds

Mid-Cap Funds

Sector Specific Funds

Tax Savings Funds (ELSS)

Equity investments are meant for a longer time horizon, thus Equity funds rank high on the risk-

return matrix.

2. Debt Funds:

The objective of these Funds is to invest in debt papers, Government authorities, private

companies, banks and financial institutions are some of the major issuers of debt papers. By

investing in debt instruments, these funds ensure low risk and provide stable income to the

investors. Debt funds are further classified as:

Gilt Funds: Invest their corpus in securities issued by Government, popularly known as

Government of India debt papers. These Funds carry zero Default risk but are associated with

Interest Rate risk. These schemes are safer as they invest in papers backed by Government.

Income Funds: Invest a major portion into various debt instruments such as bonds,

corporate debentures and Government securities.

7/25/2019 WIP-BIRLA

12/37

12

MIPs: Invests maximum of their total corpus in debt instruments while they take

minimum exposure in equities. It gets benefit of both equity and debt market. These scheme

ranks slightly high on the risk-return matrix when compared with other debt schemes.

Short Term Plans (STPs): Meant for investment horizon for three to six months. These funds

primarily invest in short term papers like Certificate of Deposits (CDs) and Commercial Papers

(CPs). Some portion of the corpus is also invested in corporate debentures.

Liquid Funds: Also known as Money Market Schemes, These funds provides easy liquidity

and preservation of capital, These schemes invest in short-term instruments like Treasury Bills,

inter-bank call money market, CPs and CDs. These funds are meant for short-term cash

management of corporate houses and are meant for an investment horizon of 1 day to 3

months. These schemes rank low on risk-return matrix and are considered to be the safestamongst all categories of mutual funds.

3. Balanced Funds:

As the name suggest they are a mix of both equity and debt funds. They invest in both equities

and fixed income securities, which are in line with pre-defined investment objective of the

scheme. These schemes aim to provide investors with the best of both the worlds. Equity part

provides growth and the debt part provides stability in returns.

Further the mutual funds can be broadly classified on the basis of investment parameter viz; each

category of funds is backed by an investment philosophy, which is pre-defined in the objectives

of the fund. The investor can align his own investment needs with the funds objective and invest

accordingly.

C) BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:

Growth Schemes:

Growth Schemes are also known as equity schemes. The aim of these schemes is to provide

capital appreciation over medium to long term. These schemes normally invest a major part of

their fund in equities and are willing to bear short-term decline in value for possible future

appreciation.

Income Schemes:

Income Schemes are also known as debt schemes. The aim of these schemes is to provide regular

and steady income to investors. These schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such

as bonds and corporate debentures. Capital appreciation in such schemes may be limited.

Balanced Schemes:

Balanced Schemes aim to provide both growth and income by periodically distributing a part of

7/25/2019 WIP-BIRLA

13/37

13

the income and capital gains they can. These schemes invest in both shares and fixed income

securities, in the proportion indicated in their offer documents (normally 50:50).

Money Market Schemes:

Money Market Schemes aim 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.

OTHER SCHEMES

Tax Saving Schemes:

Tax-saving schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under tax laws prescribed from time to

time. Under Sec.88 of the Income Tax Act, contributions made to any Equity Linked Savings

Scheme (ELSS) are eligible for rebate.Index Schemes:

Index schemes attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index such as the BSE Sensex

or the NSE 50. The portfolio of these schemes will consist of only those stocks that constitute

the index. The percentage of each stock to the total holding will be identical to the stocks index

weightage. And hence, the returns from such schemes would be more or less equivalent to

those of the Index.

Sector Specific Schemes:

These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those sectors or industries

as specified in the offer documents, e.g., Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer

Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the

performance of the respective sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns,

they are more risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the

performance of those sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time.

BANKS V/S MUTUAL FUNDS:

Mutual Funds are now also competing with commercial banks in the race for retail investors

savings and corporate float money. The power shift towards mutual funds has become obvious.

The coming few years will show that the traditional saving avenues are losing out in the current

scenario. Many investors are realizing that investments in savings accounts are as good as locking

up their deposits in a closet. The fund mobilization trend by mutual funds indicates that money

is going to mutual fund in a big way.

How to invest in mutual funds?

Steps One - Identify your investment needs.

Your financial goals will vary, based on your age, lifestyle, financial independence, family

commitments, level of income and expenses among many other factors. Therefore, the first step

is to assess your needs. Begin by asking yourself these questions:

1. What are my investment objectives and needs?Probable Answers: I need regular income

or need to buy a home or finance a wedding or educate my children or a combination of all these

needs.

2. How much risk am I willing to take?Probable Answers: I can only take a minimum amount

of risk or I am willing to accept the fact that my investment value may fluctuate or that there may

be a short term loss in order to achieve a long term potential gain.

CATEGORY BANKS MUTUAL FUNDS

Returns Low High

Administrative exp. High Low

GuaranteeMaximum Rs.1 lakh on

7/25/2019 WIP-BIRLA

15/37

15

3. What are my cash flow requirements? Probable Answers: I need a regular cash flow or I

need a lump sum amount to meet a specific need after a certain period or I dont require a current

cash flow but I want to build my assets for the future. By going through such an exercise, you

will know what you want out of your investment and can set the foundation for a sound Mutual

Fund Investment strategy.

Step Two - Choose the right Mutual Fund.

Once you have a clear strategy in mind, you now have to choose which Mutual Fund and scheme

you want to invest in. The offer document of the scheme tells you its objectives and provides

supplementary details like the track record of other schemes managed by the same Fund Manager.

Some factors to evaluate before choosing a particular Mutual Fund are:

The track record of performance over the last few years in relation to the appropriate yardstick

and similar funds in the same category.

How well the Mutual Fund is organized to provide efficient, prompt and personalized service.

Degree of transparency as reflected in frequency and quality of their communications.

Step Three - Select the ideal mix of Schemes.

Investing in just one Mutual Fund scheme may not meet all your investment needs. You may

consider investing in a combination of schemes to achieve your specific goals.

The following charts could prove useful in selecting a combination of schemes to satisfy your

needs.

Step Four - Invest regularly

For most of us, the approach that works best is to invest a fixed amount at specific intervals, say

every month. By investing a fixed sum each month, you get fewer units when the price is high and

more units when the price is low, thus 34 bringing down your average cost per unit. This is called

rupee cost averaging and is a disciplined investment strategy followed by investors all over the

world. With many open-ended schemes offering systematic investment plans, this regular investing

habit is made easy for you.

Step Five - Keep your taxes in mind

As per the current tax laws, Dividend/Income Distribution made by mutual funds is exempt from

Income Tax in the hands of investor. However, in case of debt schemes Dividend/Income

7/25/2019 WIP-BIRLA

16/37

16

Distribution is subject to Dividend Distribution Tax. Further, there are other benefits available for

investment in Mutual Funds under the provisions of the prevailing tax laws. You may therefore

consult your tax advisor or Chartered Accountant for specific advice to achieve maximum tax

efficiency by investing in mutual funds.

Step Six - Start early

It is desirable to start investing early and stick to a regular investment plan. If you start now, you

will make more than if you wait and invest later. The power of compounding lets you earn income

on income and your money multiplies at a compounded rate of return.

Step Seven - The final step

All you need to do now is to get in touch with a Mutual Fund or your advisor and start investing.

Reap the rewards in the years to come. Mutual Funds are suitable for every kind of investor whether

starting a career or retiring, conservative or risk taking, growth oriented or income seeking.

Types of Investment in Mutual Fund

Lump Sum


Lump Sum Payment

A lump sum is a single payment ofmoney,as opposed to a series of payments made over time

(such as an annuity) This means investing the entire sum of money at one go. For instance, if you

have Rs 1 lakh which you are willing to fully invest in stocks or MFs, it is a lump-sum investment.

What is Systematic Investment Plan?

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a smart financial planning tool that helps you to create

wealth, by investing small sums of money every month, over a period of time. Systematic

Investment Plan (SIP) is a planned approach to investments and an investment technique that

allows you to provide for the future by investing small amounts of money in Mutual Fund

schemes of your choice.

A SIP is a method of investing in mutual funds, by investing a fixed sum at a regular frequency,

to buy units of a mutual fund schemes. It is quite similar to a recurring deposit of a bank or post

office. For the convenience, an investor could start a SIP with as low as Rs 500; however this

amount may differ from one fund house to other. The SIP provides them a way to invest in the

fund of their choice in installments.

Why is SIP a Smart choice?

-

Helps in inculcating financial discipline

- Helps you put investments on your priority list

- Average out your cost of investment and hence reduce your risk

Let's say you invested Rs. 1000 every month and let's assume the scheme you invested in

is available at a unit value of Rs. 20 per unit. Then in month 1, you will be able to obtain

50 units. In month 2, if the unit value goes down to Rs. 10 then you will be able to obtain

100 units

Benefits of SIP

1. SIP can be started with a minimum investment of Rs. 500/- per month or Rs. 1000/- per

month.

2. It is good and effective way of creating wealth for long term.

3. ECS facility is available in case of Investment through SIP.

4. A small withdrawal from the account doesnt affect the bank balance of an individual as

compared to a hefty withdrawal.

5. It can be for a year, two years, three years etc. if a person at any point of time couldnt be

able to continue its SIP, he may give instructions at least 25 days before to the fund house. His

SIP be discontinued.

6. All type of funds except Liquid funds, cash funds and other funds who invest in very shortfixed return investments offers the facility of SIP.

7. Capital gains, if applicable, are taxed on a first-in first-out basis.

8. As the investment made through SIP are not at one time. Some units bought at high price and

some at low price, so chances of making gain through SIP is higher than the one time

investment.

In short, SIP is a simple and effective way to create wealth but to create such wealth, one

should think about the investment in SIP for a period of at least for time frame of three years

because it pays to invest in a longer run..

LIMITATIONS TO THE STUDY

Though research based decision-making is now considered but still there is a gap between the

understanding of researcher and users.

Research is there to help in decision-making, not a substitute of decision-making. Some of the

following limitations have restricts the scope of survey to some extent :

Some respondents gave vague information and were not serious while responding.

Some respondents were hesitant to reveal information about their finances because

of income tax queries.

It was difficult to find whether respondents actually participate in their financialplanning.

Research can provide number of facts but it does not provide actionable results.

It cannot provide answer to any problem but can only provide a set of guidelines.

Management rely more on the intuitions and judgments rather than research.

Area of research was restricted to some location of the city and state.

Findings

The analysis is done based on the structured questions and we got following points:

-

55% investor invests in SIP mode.

- 84% got more profit in SIP

- The maximum duration of investment in SIP is 3 years i.e. 34%.

- The maximum allocation criteria in SIP are 1000-3000 i.e. 45%

Aditya Birla is a top ranked company listed with NSDL and CDSL; provide trading through

both NSE and BSE.

There are some more points:-

Mutual fund advisors give emphasis on mutual funds than other investment options.

The awareness level of investor is low as advisors are interested in dealing in mutual funds.

Mutual funds have given a new direction to the flow of personal saving and enable small

and medium investors in remote rural and semi urban areas to reap the benefits of the

stock market investments. Indian mutual funds are thus playing a very important role in

allocation of scarce resources in the emerging economy.

RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS

Though the Aditya Birla Financial Services have a very good ascribed plan with exclusive band of

opportunities but as nothing is free from the hurdles therefore there are few shortcomings which I

felt makes Aditya Birla Financial Services fail to achieve its target :

There is high potential market for mutual fund advisors in Jaipur city but this market

needs to be explored as investors are still hesitated to invest their money in mutual fund.

In Jaipur investors have inadequate knowledge about mutual fund, so proper marketing

of various schemes is required. Company should arrange more and more seminars on

mutual funds.

Awareness of mutual fund services among the investors are very low so Asset

Management Company needs proper marketing of their all services by advertising ,

distribution of pamphlet , arranging seminars etc.

Company should also provide knowledge about the growth rate and expected growth

rate of mutual fund industry in India.

Most people are aware of Life Insurance , NSC and PPF for tax saving so company

should market various tax saving scheme of mutual fund and their benefits.
