INTRODUCTION:
Mutual fund is a professionally managed form of collective investments that pools
money from different investor and invest it in stocks, bonds, short term money market
instrument, and other securities. In the mutual fund the fund manager who is also known as
the portfolio manager, trades the fund underlying securities, realizing capital gains or losses,
and collects the dividend or interest income the investment proceeds are then passed along to
the individuals investors. The value of a share of the mutual fund is known as net asset value
(NAV). The NAV is calculated daily based on the total value of the fund divided by the
number of shares currently issued and outstanding.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MUTUAL FUND:
1) The ownership is in the hands of the investors who have pooled in their funds.2) It is managed by the team of investment professionals and other service providers.3) The pool of funds is invested in a portfolio of marketable investments.4) The investors share is denominated by units whose value is called as net asset value
(NAV) which changes every day.
5) The investment portfolio is created according to the stated investment objectives of thefund.
HISTORY OF INDIA MUTAUL FUND INDUSTRY:
The mutual fund industry in India starts in 1963 with the formation of unit trust of
India, at the initiative of the government of India and Reserve Bank of India. The history of
mutual fund in India can be divided into four distinct phases:
FIRST PHASES (1964-87): Unit Trust of India was established in the year 1963 by an act of
Parliament. It was set up by the reserve bank of India and function under the administrative
control of the reserve bank of India. In 1978 UTI was delinked 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 has Rs.6,700crore of assets under
management.
SECOND PHASE (1987-1993) (Entry of the public sector funds): In 1987, the entry of non-UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation

of India and General Insurance Corporation of India. SBI mutual fund was the first non-UTI
mutual fund established in June 1987 followed by Canbank Mutual fund (Dec 87), Punjab
National Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jan 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund
(Oct 92). LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set-up its mutual fund
in December 1990. At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry has assets under
management of Rs.47,004crore.
THIRD PHASE (1993-2003) (Entry of Private Sector Fund): with the entry of private sector
fund in 1993, a new era started in the India mutual Fund Industry, giving the India investor a
wider choice of fund families. Also 1993 is the year in which the first mutual fund
regulations came into being, under which all mutual fund except UTI were to be registered
and governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with frankling Templeton) was
the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993.
The 1993 SEBI regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and revise mutual
fund regulation in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund)
regulations 1996.
The number of mutual fund went on increasing with many foreign mutual funds setting up
in India and also the industry has witness several mergers and acquisitions. At the end of
January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805crore. The UTI
with Rs. 44,541 crore of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.
FOURTH PHASE (Since Feb 2003): In February 2003, following the repeal of the UTI act
1963 UTI was divided into two separate entities:
i) Specified undertaking of the UTI with assets under management of Rs. 29,835crore as at the end of January 2003 representing broadly, the assets of scheme,
assured return and certain other scheme. The specified undertaking function
under an administrator and under the rules framed by the government of India
and does not come under the purview if the mutual fund regulations.
ii) UTI Mutual Fund Limited., sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB, LIC. It isregistered 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 crore of assets under management and with the setting up of UTI
Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI fund regulations , and with recent
mergers taking place among different private sector funds the mutual funds,
the mutual fund industry has entered its current phase of consolidation and
growth. As at the end of September, 2004 there were 29 mutual funds, which
manages assets of Rs. 1,53,108 crore under 421 schemes.
ADVANTAGES OF MUTAUL FUNDS:
An investor can directly invest in individual securities or indirectly through a financialintermediary. Globally mutual fund has established themselves as a means of investment for
the retail investor. Some of the importance of mutual fund is listed below:
1) TRANSPARENCY:Mutual funds transparently declared their portfolio every month. Thus an
investor knows where his/her money is being deployed and in case they are not happy
with their portfolio they can withdraw at a short notice
.
2) DEVERSIFICATION:An investor undertakes risk if he invest all his funds in a single scrip. Mutual
fund invests in number of company across various industries and sectors. The
diversification reduces the riskiness of the investments.
3) RESEARCH:Mutual fund can afford information and data required for investment as they
have large amount of funds and equity research teams available with them.
4) PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT:Mutual funds are managed by professional managers who have the requisite
skills and experience to analyze the performance and prospects of company. And
average investor lacks all this knowledge.

5) STABILITY:Mutual funds have a large amount of fund which provides them with
economies of scale by which they can absorb any losses in the stock market. In
addition mutual funds increase liquidity in the money and capital market.
6) AFFORDABILITY:Compared to direct investing in the capital market investing through the funds
is relatively less expensive as the benefits of economies of scale are passed on to the
investors.
7) TAX BENEFITS:Mutual funds investors now enjoy income tax benefits. Dividends received
from mutual funds debt schemes are tax exempt to the overall limit of Rs.9000
allowed under section 80L of the income tax act.
8) FLEXIBILITY:Mutual fund offers a family of schemes and investors have the option of
transferring their holdings from one scheme to the other.
9) CONVINIENCE:Investing in mutual funds reduces paperwork, saves time and makes
investment easy.
10) LIQUIDITY:Often investor cannot sell the security held easily, while in case of mutual
funds, they can easily encash their investment by selling their units to the fund if it is
open ended scheme or selling them on a stock exchange if it is close ended scheme.
11) SAFETY FROM LOSS DUE TO UNETHICAL PRACTICES:The probability of loss stemming from fraud, scandal, or bankruptcy involving
the funds management company is very small. By transferring investment
risk to shareholders, mutual fund company side step the problems that have
been especially painfull for people dealing with certain thrifts, banks, and
insurance companies among others.

12) SHAREHOLDERS SERVICE:Mutual funds also offer many useful shareholders service. One important
service is the automatic reinvestment of distributions for people who want it.
Owners of individual stocks are more inclined to take their cash dividends and
spend them. Many funds have systematic withdrawal plans, which are handy
for retired individual. Other important services include automatic investment
plans, retirement plans, and record keeping for tax purposes.
DISADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
There are certainly some benefits to mutual fund investing, but you should also be
aware of the drawbacks associated with mutual funds.
1. No Insurance:-
Mutual funds, although regulated by the government, are not insured against losses.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) only insures against certain losses at
banks, credit unions, and savings and loans, not mutual funds. That means that despite the
risk-reducing diversification benefits provided by mutual funds, losses can occur, and it ispossible (although extremely unlikely) that you could even lose your entire investment.
2. Dilution:-
Although diversification reduces the amount of risk involved in investing in mutual
funds, it can also be a disadvantage due to dilution. For example, if a single security held by a
mutual fund doubles in value, the mutual fund itself would not double in value because that
security is only one small part of the fund's holdings. By holding a large number of different
investments, mutual funds tend to do neither exceptionally well nor exceptionally poorly.
3. Fees and Expenses:-
Most mutual funds charge management and operating fees that pay for the fund's
management expenses (usually around 1.0% to 1.5% per year). In addition, some mutual
funds charge high sales commissions, 12b-1 fees, and redemption fees. And some funds buy
and trade shares so often that the transaction costs add up significantly. Some of these
expenses are charged on

an ongoing basis, unlike stockinvestments, for which a commission is paid only when you
buy and sell (see Investor Guide University: Fees and Expenses).
4. Poor Performance:-
Returns on a mutual fund are by no means guaranteed. In fact, on average, around
75% of all mutual funds fail to beat the major market indexes, like the S&P 500, and a
growing number of critics now question whether or not professional money managers have
better stock-picking capabilities than the average investor.
5. Loss of Control:-
The managers of mutual funds make all of the decisions about which securities to buy
and sell and when to do so. This can make it difficult for you when trying to manage your
portfolio. For example, the tax consequences of a decision by the manager to buy or sell an
asset at a certain time might not be optimal for you. You also should remember that you are
trusting someone else with your money when you invest in a mutual fund.
6. Trading Limitations:-
Although mutual funds are highly liquid in general, most mutual funds (called open-
ended funds) cannot be bought or sold in the middle of the trading day. You can only buy and
sell them at the end of the day, after they've calculated the current value of their holdings.
7. Size:-
Some mutual funds are too big to find enough good investments. This is especially
true offunds that focus on small companies, given that there are strict rules about how much
of a single company a fund may own. If a mutual fund has $5 billion to invest and is only
able to invest an average of $50 million in each, then it needs to find at least 100 such
companies to invest in; as a result, the fund might be forced to lower its standards when
selecting companies to invest in.
8. Inefficiency of Cash Reserves:-
Mutual funds usually maintain large cash reserves as protection against a large
number of simultaneous withdrawals. Although this provides investors with liquidity, it
means that some of the fund's money is invested in cash instead of assets, which tends tolower the investor's potential return.

9. Different Types:-
The advantages and disadvantages listed above apply to mutual funds in general.
However, there are over 10,000 mutual funds in operation, and these funds vary greatly
according to investment objective, size, strategy, and style. Mutual funds are available forvirtually every investment strategy (e.g. value, growth), every sector (e.g. biotech, internet),
and every country or region of the world. So even the process of selecting a fund can be
tedious.
SCHEMES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
Mutual fund schemes can be classified under two different categories:
1. General classification2. Broad classification.
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION:
Mutual funds are broadly classified into followings types:
1. Open-Ended schemes:The open-ended schemes are characterized by the continual selling and
redeeming of its shares. In other words the mutual fund does not have a fixed
capitalization. An open-ended funds stands ready at all time to sell new shares or buy
back old shares from investor at Net asset value. Open ended schemes do not have to
be listed in the stock exchange can also offer repurchase soon after allotment. Investor
can offer and exit the scheme anytime during the life of the fund. Open-ended
schemes do not have a fixed corpus. There is no fixed redemption period of the open-
ended scheme it can be terminated whenever the need arises. The funds offer a
redemption price at which the holder can sell units to the fund and exit. Besides an
investor can enter the fund again by buying units from the fund at its offer price.
2. Closed-ended scheme:Closed-ended schemes have a fixed corpus and a stipulated maturity period
ranging between 2 to 5 years. Investor can invest in the scheme when it is launched.
The scheme remains open for periods not exceeding 45 days. Investors in the closed-ended schemes can buy units only from the market, once initial subscriptions are over

and thereafter the units is listed on the stocks exchanges where they can be bought
and sold. The funds has no intersection with investor except for paying dividend and
bonus
3. Interval scheme:Interval scheme combines the features of open-ended schemes and closed-
ended schemes. They are open for sale or redemption during predetermined
intervals at NAV-related prices.
BROAD CLASSIFICATION:
1) Equity funds:Equity funds are considered to be more risky compared to other fund types, but they
also provide higher return then other funds. It is advisable that that an investor
looking to invest in equity fund should invest for long term. Following are the type of
equity fund:
Aggressive growth fund: in aggressive growth fund managers aspire formaximum capital appreciation and invest in less research shares of speculative
nature. Because of these speculative investments Aggressive Growth Funds
become more volatile and thus are prone to higher risk than other equity funds.
Growth funds: Growth Funds also invest for capital appreciation, but they aredifferent from Aggressive Equity Funds in the sense they invest in companies
that will outperform the market in the future.
Equity Income or Dividend Yield Funds: The objective of equity incomefunds is to generate high recurring income and steady capital appreciation for
investor by investing in those companies which issue high dividends.
Diversified Equity fund: except for a small portion of investing in moneymarket, diversified equity fund invest mainly in equities without any
concentration on a particular sector(s). These funds are well diversified and
reduce sector specific or company specifics risk.

2) Money Market or Liquid Fund:Money market or liquid fund invest in short term (maturing within one year) interest
bearing debt instruments. These securities are highly liquid and provide safety of
investment, thus making money market/liquid fund the safest investment option when
compared with other mutual fund types. However even money market funds are exposed
to interest rate risk. The typical investment option foe money market funds include
treasury bills (issued by governments, commercial papers(issued by companies) and
certificates of deposit(issued by banks).
3) Hybrid Funds:
Hybrid Funds, as the name suggest are those funds whose portfolio includes a blend
of equities, debts and money market securities. Hybrid Funds have an equal proportion of
debt equity in their portfolio. The following are hybrid funds in India,
Balanced Funds: The proportion of balance funds include assets like debtsecurities, convertible securities and equity and preference shares held in arelatively equal proportion. The objective of balanced fund are to reward investor
with regular income, moderate capital appreciation and at the same time
minimizing the risk of capital erosion. Balanced funds are appropriate for
conservative investors having a long term investment horizon.
Growth and Income Funds: Funds that combine features of growth fund andincome funds are known as Growth and Income Funds. These funds invest in
companies having potential for capital appreciation and those known for issuing
high dividends. The level of risk involve in these funds is lower than growth fund
and higher then income funds.
Asset allocation Funds: Mutual fund may invest in financial assets like equity,debt, money market or non financial (physical) assets like real estate,
commodities, etc.

4) Debt or Income Fund:
Funds that invest in medium or long term debt instruments issued by private
companies, banks, financial institutions, governments and other entities belonging to
various sectors (like infrastructure companies etc.) are known as debt or income
funds. Debt funds are low risk profile funds that seek to generate fixed current income
(and not capital appreciation) to investors. In order to ensure regular income to
investor debt funds distribute large fraction of their surplus to investors. Although
debt securities are generally less risky then equities, they are subject to credit risk
(risk of default) by the issuer at the time of interest or principal payment.
6) Gilt Funds:Gilt funds are also known as Government Securities in India, Gilt funds invest in
government paper (named dated securities) having, medium to long term maturity
period. Issued by the Government of India, these investments have little credit risk
(risk of default) and provide safety of principal to the investors. However like all debt
funds, gilt fund too are exposed to interest rate risk.
Rating of Mutual Fund Schemes:
Mutual Fund schemes are periodically evaluated by independent institutions. CRISIL,
Value Research India, and economic Times are three such institutions whose rankings or
evaluations are currently very popular.
CRISIL:
Credit rating and Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL) carries out
Composite performance Rankings that cover all open-ended schemes that disclose their entire
portfolio composition and have NAV information for at least two years. It currently ranks
schemes in five categories, viz Equity Schemes, Debt Schemes, Gilt Schemes, Balanced
Schemes, and Liquid Schemes. Its ranking is based on four criteria, viz., and risk-adjusted
return of the schemes NAV, diversification of the portfolio, liquidity, and asset size. The
weights assigned to these criteria vary from category to category.

Costs of investing in a Mutual Fund:
There are four types of costs associated with mutual fund investing: initial issue
expenses, entry load, exit load, and annual recurring expenses.
Initial issue expenses: include items such as brokerage fees and commission, marketing and
advertising expenses, printing and distribution costs, and so on which are incurred when the
scheme is launched. Initial expenses upto 6% of the amount mobilized can be charged to the
scheme.
Entry loador sales load is the load imposed when the units are purchased. It may be upto 2%
of course for many schemes it is nil. It the entry load is 2%, it means that when you buy theunits of a mutual fund scheme which has a net asset value that have an entry load are called
load schemes and schemes that have no entry load are called no-load schemes.
Exit loador redemption load is the load imposed when the units are sold back to the mutual
fund. In practice it varies from 0 % to 3%. This load is imposed to different investors from
withdrawing from the scheme. In some cases a contingent deferred sales charge is not
applicable when there is an entry load.
Annual recurring expenses refer to the investment management and advisory fees charged by
the AMC and operation expenses like marketing and selling expenses, brokerage costs,
trustee fees, custodian fees, audit fees, costs of investor communication. Costs of providing
account statements and dividend / redemption cheques and warrants and costs of statutory
advertisements.
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH MUTUAL FUNDS:
Higher the risk greater the return and lower the risk lesser the return. Hence it is upto the
investor to decide how much risk he is willing to take. Some of the risks associated with
mutual fund are:
Market risk: Sometimes price and yields of all securities rise and fall. Outside factorsaffecting the market in general leads to this. This is true, may it be big corporation or
smaller midsized companies. This is known as market risk.

Credit risk: The debt servicing ability (May it be interest payment or repayment ofprincipal) of a company through its cash flows determine the credit risk. The credit
risk is determined by rating agencies like CRISIL who rate companies and their paper.
An AAA rating is considered as safest where as a D rating is considered as a poor
credit quality.
Inflation risk: Inflation is the loss of purchasing power over time. A lot of time peoplemake conservative decisions to protect their capital and end up with a sum of money
that can buy less then what the principal could at the investment. This happen when
inflation grows faster than the return on the investment. A well diversified portfolio
with some investment in equities might help to mitigate this risk .
Interest rate risk: In a free market economy interest rate are difficult if not possible topredict changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If
interest rate rises the prices of bond fall and vice versa.
Political risk: Changes in government policy and political decision can change theinvestment environments. They can create o favourable environment for investment
and vice versa.
Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk arises when it becomes difficult to sell the securities thatone 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.
RISK:
Any rational investor, before investing his or her ingestible wealth in the stock,
analyses the risk associated with the particular stock. The actual return he receives from a
stock may vary from his expected return and the risk is expressed in terms of variability of
return. The down side risk may be caused by several factors, either common to all stocks or
specific to a particular stock. Investor in general would like to analyze the risk factors and a
thorough knowledge of the risk helps him to plan his portfolio in such a manner so as to
minimize the risk associated with the investment.
Definition of Risk
-

14/39
14
The dictionary meaning of risk is the possibility of loss or injury; the degree or
probability of such loss. In risk, the probable outcomes of all the possible events are listed.
Once the events are listed subjectively, the derived probabilities can be assigned to the entire
possible events.
Risk can be defined as the chance that the expected or prospective advantage, gain, profit or
return may not materialise that the actual outcome of investment may be less than the
expected outcome.
TYPES OF RISK:
There are two types of risk. They are:
i. Systematic riskii. Unsystematic risk.
Systematic Risk:
The systematic risk affects the entire market. Often we read in the newspaper that the
stock market is in the bear hug or in the bull grip. This indicates that the entire market is
moving in a particular direction either downward or upward. The economic conditions,
political situations and the sociological changes affect the security market. The recession in
the economy affects the profit prospect of the industry and the stock market. The 1998
recession experienced by developed and developing countries have affected the stock markets
all over the world. The South East Asian crisis has affected the stock market worldwide.
These factors are beyond the control of the corporate and the investor. They cannot be
entirely avoided by the investor. It drives home the point that the systematic risk is
unavoidable. The systematic risk is further sub-divided into
Market Risk Interest Rate Risk Purchasing Power Risk
Market Risk:
-
8/2/2019 Dessert at Ion on Mutual Fund.4th Sem Mba..VVIP
15/39
15
Market risk is that portion of total variability of return caused by the alternating forces
of bull and bear markets. When the security index moves upward haltingly for a significant
period of time, it is known as bull market. In the bull market, the index moves from a low
level to the peak. Bear market is just a reverse to the bull market; the index declines haltingly
from the peak to a market low point called through for a significant period of time. During
the bull and bear market more than 80% of the securities prices rise or fall along with the
stock market indices.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the variation in the single period rates of return caused by thefluctuations in the market interest rate. Most commonly interest rate risk affects the price of
bonds, debentures and stocks. The fluctuations in the interest rates are caused by the changes
in the government monetary policy and the changes that occur in the interest rates of treasury
bills and the government bonds. The bonds issued by the government and quasi-government
are considered to be risk free.
Purchasing Power Risk:
Variations in the returns are caused also by the loss of purchasing power of currency.
Inflation is the reason behind the loss of purchasing power. The level of inflation proceeds
faster than the increase in capital value. Purchasing power risk is the probable loss in the
purchasing power of the returns to be received. The rise in price penalizes the returns to the
investor, and every potential rise in price is a risk to the investor.
UnsystematicRisk:
As already mentioned, unsystematic risk is unique and peculiar to a firm or an
industry. Unsystematic risk stems from managerial inefficiency, technological change in the
production process, availability of raw material, changes in the consumer preference, and
labour problems. The nature and magnitude of the above mentioned factors differ from
industry to industry, and company to company. They have to be analyzed separately for each
-

16/39
16
industry and firm. The changes in the consumer preference affect the consumer products like
television sets, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. unsystematic risk can be classified into:
Business risk Financial risk
Business Risk:
Business risk is that portion of the unsystematic risk caused by the operating
environment of the business. Business risk arises from the inability of a firm to maintain its
competitive edge and the growth or stability of the earnings. Variation that occurs in the
operating environment as reflected on the operation income and expected dividends.
Financial Risk:
It refers to the variability of the income to the equity capital due to the debt capital.
Financial risk in a company is associated with the capital structure of the company. Capital
structure of the company consists of equity funds and borrowed funds. The presence of debt
and preference capital results in a commitment of paying interest or per fixed rate of
dividend. The interest payment affects the payments that are due to the equity investors.
Measurement of Risk:
The risk associated with a single asset is assessed from both behaviour and a
quantitative/statistical point of view. The behavioural view of risk can be obtained by using:
Sensitivity analysis Probability distribution
The statistical measure of risk of an asset/security is:
Standard deviation Coefficient of variation.
-
8/2/2019 Dessert at Ion on Mutual Fund.4th Sem Mba..VVIP
17/39
17
Sensitivity Analysis:
It is a behaviour approach to assess risk using number of possible returns estimates to
obtain a sense of the variability among outcomes.
Probability Distribution:
It is a model that relates probabilities to the associated outcomes based on the rerun
the expected value of the return can be computed the expected rate of return is the weighted
average of all possible returns multiplied by their respective probabilities.
Standard Deviation:
Risk refers to the dispersion of returns around expected values. The most commonstatistical measure of risk of an asset is the standard deviation from the mean/expected values
of return. It represents the square root of the average squared deviation of the individual
returns from the expected returns.
Co-efficient of Variation:
It is a measure of relative dispersion used in comparing the risk of assets with
differing expected values. The co-efficient of variation is computed by dividing the for an
asset by its expected value.
RETURN:
Investment decisions are influenced by various motives. Some people invest in a
business to acquire control and enjoy the prestige associated with it. Some people invest in
expensive yachts and famous villas to display their wealth. Most investors, however, are
largely guided by the pecuniary motive of earning a return on their investment.
For earning returns investors have to almost invariably bear some risk. In general, risk and
return go hand in hand. While investors like returns they avoid risk. Investment decisions,
therefore, involve a trade-off between risk and return. Since risk and return are central to
investment decisions
Meaning of Return:
-
8/2/2019 Dessert at Ion on Mutual Fund.4th Sem Mba..VVIP
18/39
18
Return is the primary motivation force that drives investment. It represents the reward
for undertaking investment. Since the game of investing is about returns (after allowing for
risk), measurement of realized (historical) returns is necessary to assess how well the
investment manager has done. In addition, historical returns are often used as an important
input in estimating future (prospective) returns.
Components of Return:
The return of an investment consists of two components,
Current Return:
The first component that often comes to mind when one is thinking about return is the
periodic cash flow (income), such as dividend or interest, generated by the investment.
Current return is measured as the periodic income in relation to the beginning price of the
investment.
Capital Return:
The second component of return is reflected in the price change called the capital
return it is simple the price appreciation (or depreciation) divided by the beginning price of
the asset. For assets like equity stocks, the capital return predominates.
Thus the total return for any security (or for that matter any asset) is defined as
Total return = Current return+ Capital return
The current return can be zero or positive, whereas the capital return can be negative,
zero, or positive
Measuring Historical Return:
The total return on an investment for a given period is:
( )
-
8/2/2019 Dessert at Ion on Mutual Fund.4th Sem Mba..VVIP
19/39
19
All items are measured in rupees. The rupee cash payment received during the
period may be positive may be positive zero. The rupee price change over the period is
simply the difference between the ending price and the beginning price. This can be positive
(ending price exceeds the beginning price) or zero (ending price equals the beginning price)
or negative (ending price is less than the beginning price).
In formal terms:
R
( )E B
B
C P P
P
Where , R = total return over the period
C = cash payment received during the period
PE = ending price of the investment
PB= beginning price
Return Relative:
Often it is necessary to measure returns in a slightly different manner. This is
particularly true when a cumulative wealth index or a geometric mean has to be calculated,
because in such calculations negative returns cannot be used. The concept of return relative is
used in such cases. The return relative is defined as:
Return relative= E

SCHEMES
1. A. EQUITY/GROWTH SCHEMES The aim of growth funds is to provide capitalappreciation over the medium to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a majorpart of their corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. Theseschemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capitalappreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on theirpreferences. The investors must indicate the option in the application form. Themutual funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growthschemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking appreciation overa period of time.
1. B. DEBT/INCOME SCHEMES The aim of income funds is to provide regular andsteady income to investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securitiessuch as bonds, corporate debentures, Government securities and money marketinstruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds arenot affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunities ofcapital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds areaffected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall,NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However,long term investors may not bother about these fluctuations.
1. C. SECTOR SPECIFIC SCHEMES: These are the funds/schemes which invest in thesecurities of only those sectors or industries as specified in the offer documents. E.g.
-
8/2/2019 Dessert at Ion on Mutual Fund.4th Sem Mba..VVIP
31/39
31
Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleumstocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the performance of therespective sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns, they aremore risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on theperformance of those sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time. They
may also seek advice of an expert.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Organizations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on thesupport and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must payback this generosity in every way they can. This ethical standpoint, derived from the visionof the founder, lies at the heart of the CSR philosophy of the Reliance Group.
While they strongly believe that their primary obligation or duty as corporate entities is totheir shareholders they are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist inisolation; it is part of a much larger compact which they have with their entire body ofstakeholders: From employees, customers and vendors to business partners, eco-system, localcommunities, and society at large.
They evaluate and assess each critical business decision or choice from the point of view ofdiverse stakeholder interest, driven by the need to minimize risk and to pro-actively addresslong-term social, economic and environmental costs and concerns. For them, being sociallyresponsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time token financial contribution tothe local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an ongoing year-round commitment,which is integrated into the very core of their business objectives and strategy.
Because they believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right.
Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well .
