INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Project
In the current banking scenario, all the banks are engaged in an in-depth
introspection for analyzing their strengths and weakness and identifying core
competencies to set a mission in which they are likely to find themselves as
leaders.

In all private and foreign banks stress is being laid on knowing their
customers. This involves not just finding the profile details about the
customer but also catering to their different needs. The needs and
investment pattern of all individual change according to their life stages and
are strongly influenced by their demographics. This project helps to analyze
customer investment habits and suggest portfolio.
Methodology
The study was exploratory in nature and aimed at exploring the factors,
which formed the basis for selection of different types of investments by
individuals. The study also aimed at finding out what type of investment
pattern is followed by individuals of different profiles and what is their
frequency of investments so as to know where a person should invest.
Individuals already availing or planning to avail the services of different
banking firms both in public and private functioning at Delhi and Gurgaon,
formed the population from where the sample was drawn. a sample of
approx 100 respondents was studied for the purpose of this study.
The research was carried out by collecting primary data for the studythrough a self-developed, non-disguised questionnaire for the customers of
various banks. For developing the profile of the customers, the
respondents were classified into various groups on the basis of their
age, occupation and income . For age wise classification the respondents
were categorized into four groups - group of 1 8-3 0 yrs, group of 3 0 -4 0 , 4 0 -
5 0 and groups above 5 0 .
For income group there were four categories low income group of less than
25 0000 , middle income 25 0000 -5 00000 , 5 00000 - 100000 , high level income
group of greater than 1000000 . We tried to find keeping income as constant
what are the various instruments they invest, for how long they invest etc..

For occupation wise classification four categories were selected namely
service, business, self-employed and others for people like housewives.
Limitation of the Study
The study which is being conducted is limited by following reasons:-
1 ) Disclosure of information from the banks is a constraint-when I
approached the various banks for information there was lack of
cooperation on the part of the employees in giving the right
information.
2) Unwillingness of the respondents to provide information-when I
approached the customers for filling the questionnaire, I encountered
2 kinds of problems. First they did not have time to fill the
questionnaire, second they did not want to answer any question
regarding income.
3) Incapacity to survey large number of people. I could survey approx100 people. So whatever analysis has been done is done accordingly.
4) The people surveyed belonged to NCR region only-investment habits of
people in different regions differ.

INVESTMENTS
In finance, the purchase of a financial product or other item of value with an
expectation of favorable future returns. In general terms, investment means
the use money in the hope of making more money. Done wisely, it can help
meet individual financial goals like buying a new house, paying for college
education of children, enjoying a comfortable retirement, or whatever is
important to an individual.
Savings form an imperative part of the economy of any nation. With the
savings invested in various options available to the people, the money acts
as the driver for growth of the country. Indian financial scene too presentsan excess of avenues to the investors.
You do not have to be wealthy to be an investor. Investing even a small
amount can produce considerable rewards over the long-term, especially if
one does it regularly. But one need to decide about how much you want to
invest and where. To choose wisely, one need to know the investment
options thoroughly and their relative risk exposures.
An investment can be described as perfect if it satisfies all the needs of all
investors. So, the starting point in searching for the perfect investment
would be to examine investor needs. If all those needs are met by the
investment, then that investment can be termed the perfect investment.
Understanding the needs of the investor and ensuring that the most
appropriate investments are selected is the most essential.
The investment needs of an investor are simply his lifestyle needs converted
into financial terms. These include the normal living expenses, food,
accommodation, as well as education, health, recreation, transport, special
occasions like marriages, festivals etc.

Investment Strategies
You can make your own investment picking approach or adopt one after
consulting financial experts or investment advisors. Whatever method you
use, keep in mind the importance of diversification, or variety in your
investment portfolio and the need for a strategy, or a plan, to guide your
choices.
Investment approaches
The options you choose to put your money in reflect the investment strategy
you are using - whether you realize it or not. Most people adopt the
following approaches:-
Conservative
These investors take only limited risk by concentrating on secure, fixed-
income investments etc.
Moderate
Such Investors take moderate risk by investing in mutual funds, bonds,
select blue chip equity shares etc.
Aggressive
These are investors who take major risk on investments in order to have
high (above-average) returns like speculative or unpredictable equity
shares, etc.
As a matter of fact, the investment approach of an investor is directly linked
to his or her ability to shoulder risk. The ability to take risks depends largely
on personal circumstances and factors like age, past experiences with
investment, level of responsibility, etc.

Planning Your Investment:
Investment Planning is the process of identifying and implementing effective
investment strategies to create and accumulate the financial resources for
achieving financial planning goals. This section includes in-depth information
related to investment planning.
One of the parts of developing a comprehensive financial plan is the
development of an investment plan. There are six steps that one should
follow while developing an investment plan.
y The Means to Invest .
In order to even begin this portion of your financial plan, one must
determine that he/she is ready to save. In this step one need to determine if
one is going to use the money on some good or service (spend it), or if one
will invest or save the money.
y Investment Time Horizon
In this step, you will be determining how long you plan to invest and when
you will need the funds to meet your financial objective(s). You must decide,
based on the time horizon of your objectives, among short-term
investments, long-term investments or some combination. In this step you
are going to be determining what you will be saving for, which should give
some indication of your time horizon.
y Risk vs Return
Risk and returns go hand in hand. Higher the risk, higher is the possibility of
earning a good return. Thus, it follows that all types of investment have
some form of risk attached to it. Theoretically, even 'safe' investments (such
as bank deposits) are not without some element of risk. Broadly, here are
the various types of risks that you might have to face as an investor.
-
8/6/2019 Portfolio Management at Standard Chartered
10/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 10
Credit Risk
The risk is that the issuer of the security will default, or not repay the
principal amount. This is valid for corporate bonds etc.
Liquidity Risk
If you invest in securities, stocks, bonds, you are risking their sell ability. In
other words, your money gets stuck unnecessarily, creating an asset-liability
mismatch.
Market Risk
Financial markets are volatile in nature. Volatility means sudden swings in
value from high to low, or the reverse. The more volatile an investment is,
the more profit or loss you can make, since there can be a big spread
between what you paid and what you sell it for. But you also have to be
prepared for the price to drop by the same amount. Those who invest in
stocks and mutual funds typically run this risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Depending on the interest rate movement in the economy, the rates of
interest investment instruments may go up or come down, resulting in a
subsequent reverse movement of their prices. Such a scenario of economic
instability might affect mutual funds etc.
The whole idea behind investment planning is to evaluate the risk associatedwith various types of investments and take steps so as to balance it with the
desired return.

IBS, GURGAON Page 11
You will need to determine what your level of risk tolerance is. As the level
of risk tolerance increases so does the potential for higher returns as well as
larger losses.
y Investment Selection
Based on above three considerations, investments should be selected to
meet your goals. These investments must satisfy your time horizon and your
risk tolerance.
y Evaluate Performance
Once investments are chosen and expectations are established, the
performance of your investments should be determined by comparing the
actual realized returns against the expected returns. The returns should also
be compared to a benchmark, such as the S&P 5 00 index. In addition, the
investments should be reevaluated to determine if they continue to meet
your investment criteria.
y Adjust the Portfolio
Your portfolio should be adjusted to maintain your goals and your
investment criteria. If your goals change, your investments should be
reviewed to determine if they continue to meet your objectives.
To summarize, once you have determined that you are financially able to
begin investing (or saving), you should evaluate your investment goals and
set out a plan to accomplish these goals. Once you have begun your
investment plan, you must periodically review the performance of yourinvestments and re-evaluate your objectives and investments to make
certain there is a good fit.

Inflation Devil
Inflation, the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services
rises, can steadily erode the purchasing power of your income. That is why
you should invest a portion of your savings at a rate higher than the inflation
rate to recover the loss of purchasing power.
This means that over time a rupee will be able to buy a lesser amount of
goods and services. If the inflation rate is 5%, then Rs. 100 worth of goods
will cost Rs. 10 5 after a year. The following table indicates how the value of
Rs 1 ,00 ,000 will change over time at different levels of inflation.

The Power of Compounding
Regardless of where you choose to put your money - cash, stocks, bonds, or
a combination of these - the key to saving for the future is to make your
money work for you. This is done through the power of compounding.
Compounding investment earnings is what can make even small investments
become larger, given enough time. You are probably already familiar with
the principle of compounding. The money you put into a bank account earns
an interest. Then, you earn interest on the money you originally put in, plus
on the interest you have accumulated. As the size of your account grows,
you earn interest on a bigger and bigger pool of money.
The following table shows how much your money would grow when you
invest a fixed amount per month over a period of 10 , 1 5, 2 0 , 25, and 3 0
years, assuming an interest rate of 10 % p.a.

How power of compounding makes your money grow, when you invest a
fixed amount every month
Here's how much your money would grow if you make an lump sum (one-
time) investment and leave it untouched. The interest rate has beenassumed to be 10 %.

The real power of compounding comes with time. The earlier you start
saving, the more your money can work for you. To attain certain amount of
corpus within a set period of time, a pro-active investment style ispreferable. Thus, no matter how young you are, the sooner you begin saving
for the future, the better it is.

Investment options available in India
Today choosing a best investment plan is difficult because there are so many
investment options available in India. These days we are getting more
money compared to last decades.
1 ) Bank Fixed Deposits (FD)
Fixed Deposit or FD is the most preferred investment option today. Minimum
period is 1 5 days and maximum is 5 years and above. Senior citizens get
special interest rates for Fixed Deposits. This is considered to be a safe
investment because all banks operated under the guidelines of Reserve Bankof India. Other features are;
y Very low risk and low liquidity.
y Low returns, but assured. Depending on the tenure and bank, could be
around 6-9%y Since returns are fully taxable, the post-tax returns will be still lower.y Good for very low risk investors and those in the nil or low tax
brackets. As interest rate scenario seems to be peaking, one could
consider investing in 3-5 year FDs.
2 ) Fixed maturity plans (FMPs)
FMPs, as they are popularly known, are the equivalent of a fixed deposit in a
bank, with a caveat. The maturity amount of a fixed deposit in a bank is
'guaranteed', but only 'indicated' in the FMP. Its other features are;
y Low risk and low Liquidity.
y No assured returns but depending on tenure and the MF, could be
around 6-9%. (Ability to deliver the indicative returns).
-

16/174

IBS, GURGAON Page 16
y MFs attract much lower taxation and hence give better post-tax
returns vis--vis Bank FDs.
y Good for low risk investors, but in high tax brackets. Good for
investing the debt portion of ones portfolio.
3) National Saving Certificate (NSC)
NSC is backed by Govt. of India so it is a safe investment method. Minimum
amount is Rs 100 and no upper limit. From FY 2 00 5-' 0 6 onwards interest
accrued on NSC is taxable.
y Low risk with low liquidity (6 years lock-in).
y 8% assured returns.
y Interest fully taxable. But eligible for Sec 8 0 C benefit.
Not very attractive vis--vis other options like 5-year Bank FDs.
4) Public Provident Fund (PPF)
PPF is another form of investment backed by Govt. of India. Minimumamount is Rs5 00 and maximum is Rs7 0 ,000 in a financial year. A PPF
account can be opened in a head post office, GPO and selected branches of
nationalized banks. Both PPF and NSC considered to be best investment
option as it is backed by Government of India
y Low risk with very low liquidity ( 1 5-year lock-in period. Partial
withdrawal allowed after 6 years).
y 8% assured returns. Interest is tax-free. Also Sec 8 0 C benefit. Hence
a good scheme.
y Good tax saving investment option. Good for investing the debt
portion of ones portfolio

IBS, GURGAON Page 17
5 ) Equity
This need high risk appetite. Ideal for those investors who have a good
corpus, good knowledge and time to track the stock markets regularly. Care
should be taken to invest in good profit making companies. Penny stocks
should be avoided
y High risk and high liquidity.
y Market linked returns. Good potential.
y Attractive tax treatment. No Long Term (investment of more than 1
year) Capital Gain Tax and 10 % Short Term Capital Gains Tax.
6) Mutual Funds
Mutual Fund companies collect money from investors and invest in share
market. Investing in mutual funds is also subject to market risks but return
is good. The various fund options are;
Equity Funds
y High risk and high liquidity in open-ended funds.
y Market linked returns. Good potential.
y Attractive tax treatment. No Long Term Capital Gain Tax and 10 %
Short Term Capital Gains Tax.
y Ideal for small and common investors, but with high risk appetite. SIP
and a long term investment horizon can cut down risk and increase the
probability of making good returns. Ideally, one should build a well-diversified portfolio with say 4 0 -5 0 % money in 5-7 diversified funds
(large cap oriented), 2 0 -3 0 % money in 3-4 mid/small-cap funds, 10 -
1 5% in 3-4 sector funds and 10 -2 0 % in balanced funds.
-
8/6/2019 Portfolio Management at Standard Chartered
18/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 18
ELSS Funds
y High risk with low liquidity (3 years lock-in period).
y Market linked returns. Good potential.
y Attractive tax treatment. No Long Term Capital Gain Tax and 10 %
Short Term Capital Gains Tax. Also Sec 8 0 C benefit.
y Good tax saving investment option. Amounts beyond Rs. 1 lakh limit
could be invested in open-ended funds. SIP in ELSS would reduce the
volatility risk.
Balanced Funds
y Medium to High risk. High Liquidity.
y Medium to high returns. Market linked.
y Attractive tax treatment. No Long Term Capital Gain Tax and 10 %
Short Term Capital Gains Tax.
y Though convenient as both debt and equity investment is covered
under one fund, it may be better to invest separately in equity and
debt funds for better control.
Debt Funds
y Low to Medium risk. High Liquidity.
y Returns are market-linked. Today could be around 5-7%, but
susceptible to interest rate risk.
y Lower taxation of MFs makes such funds attractive.
y Can be avoided in a rising interest rate scenario but is good in a fallinginterest rate scenario.
7) Unit Linked Insurance Plans
ULIPs are remarkably alike to mutual funds in terms of their structure
and functioning; premium payments made are converted into units and a
-
8/6/2019 Portfolio Management at Standard Chartered
19/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 19
net asset value (NAV) is declared for the same. In traditional insurance
products, the sum assured is the corner stone; in ULIPs premium
payments is the key component.
y Low to High Risk depending on the investment option i.e. Pure Debt or
Mixed or Pure Equity. Low Liquidity (3-5 years lock-in period).
y Low to high depending on the investment option. Market linked
returns.
y Tax free returns also Sec 8 0 C benefit available.
y Not an attractive option due to high charges, low flexibility and low
diversification. There are other better similar investment products like
MFs with low charges, high flexibility and high diversification. As
regards life cover, the same could be done through a term policy.
8) Endowment/Money back Plan
These policies are term policies. Investors have to pay the premiums for
a particular term, and at maturity the accrued bonus and other benefits
are returned to the policyholder if he survives at maturity
y Low risk and very low liquidity
y Low returns. Generally around 6-6.5%.
y Tax free returns. Also Sec 8 0 C benefit available.
Not an attractive option due to low returns. There are other better similar
investment products like PPF. As regards life cover, the same could be done
through a term policy
There are many investment options available like investing in Gold, Real
Estate , commodities etc. the features of this options are;
-

Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 20
9) Real Estate
y Variable risk and variable liquidity depending on the type and location
of property.y Market linked returns. Good potential.
y No tax advantages, except attractive tax benefits on the home loans.
y High initial investment required which could make ones portfolio
lopsided; high transactions costs like title-search, registration
brokerage etc.; and cannot be partly liquidated. Therefore, real-estate
MFs (expected in the near future) may be a better alternative than
direct property investment. If investing directly, it is important to
assess the potential and clear title.
10 ) Commodities
y High risk with high liquidity.
y Market linked returns.
y No tax advantages.
y
Highly cyclical.
11 ) Gold
y Low long-term risk. But volatile in short term. High Liquidity.
y Has traditionally been a hedge against inflation. So returns could be
around inflation levels.y No tax advantages.
y Not an attractive investment option. Can be used for portfolio
diversification to partly hedge against inflation. Gold MFs are better
than buying physical gold.

Because of these unique properties, gold has traditionally been the currency
of choice for much of the world's population. The value of gold has
transcended all national, political, and cultural borders, making it the ideal
currency.
1 2) Post Office Schemes
y Low risk and low Liquidity.
y MIS scheme give 8% interest. Time deposit 6.25-7.5%.
y Since returns are taxable, the post-tax returns will be still lower.
y Good for very low risk investors and those in the nil or low tax
brackets.

BANKING
The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the banking
system in India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the
banking concept in the country to new players adding their names in the
industry in coming few years.
The banker of all banks, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Indian Banks
Association (IBA) and top 2 0 banks like IDBI, HSBC, ICICI, ABN AMRO etc,
has been well defined. However, in the introduction part of the entire
banking cosmos, the past has been well explained under four different heads
namely:
History of Banking in India
Nationalization of Banks in India
Scheduled Commercial Banks in India.
Current Scenario of Banking in India.
History of Banking in India
Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a
healthy economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle
free but it should be able to meet new challenges posed by the technology
and any other external and internal factors.
For the past three decades Indias banking system has several outstanding
achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is nolonger confined to only metropolitans or cosmopolitans in India. In fact,
Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of the
country. This is one of the main reasons of Indias growth process.

Current Scenario of Indian Banking System
Indian economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The
countrys GDP is growing at an average rate of almost 7% during the last
decade with the GDP growth rate touching 9.4% in the last year. The Indian
banking industry also had its share in the growth of the Indian economy.
With the Indian economy moving on to a high growth trajectory,
consumption levels soaring and investment riding high, the Indian bankingsector is at a watershed. The industry has been growing faster than the real
economy, resulting in the ratio of assets of commercial banks to GDP
increasing to 92.5% at end-March 2 00 7. The Indian banks have also been
doing exceptionally well in the financial sector with the price-to-book value

being second only to China.
Consequently, the degree of leverage enjoyed by the banking system, as
reflected in the equity multiplier (measured as total assets divided by total
equity), has increased from 1 5.2% at end March 2 00 6 to 1 5.8 % at the end
of March 2 00 7.
Growth of the sector
A burgeoning economy, financial sector reforms, rising foreign investment,
favorable regulatory climate and demographic profile has led to India
becoming one of the fastest growing banking markets in the world. The
overall banking industry's business grew at a CAGR of about 2 0 per cent
from US$ 469.4 billion as of March 2 00 2, to US$ 11 7 1 .29 billion by March
2 00 7.
In the current fiscal, aggregate bank deposits increased by 23.8 per cent,
year-on-year, as of January 4, 200
8 as against 21
.5 per cent a year ago.While aggregate demand deposits increased by 1 5.6 per cent, aggregate
time deposits increased by 25.3 per cent in the same period, indicating
migration from small savings schemes of the Government.
Similarly, aggregate deposits of the scheduled commercial banks (SCB),
after growing by 1 7.8 per cent and 24.6 per cent in 2 00 5- 0 6 and 2 00 6- 0 7,
rose by 25.2 per cent, year-on-year, as on January 4, 200
8. In fact, theabsolute increase of US$ 96.34 billion ( 1 4.6 per cent) in the current fiscal
year up to January 4 2 00 8 was higher than the US$ 7 0 .59 billion ( 1 3.2 per
cent) increase in the same period last year.

Simultaneously, loans and advances of SCBs rose by over 3 0 per cent (i.e.
33.2 per cent in 2 00 4- 0 5, 3 1 .8 per cent in 2 00 5- 0 6 and 3 0 .6% cent in
2 00 6- 0 7) in the last three financial years, underpinned by the robust
macroeconomic performance. The growth has continued in the current fiscal
with non-food credit by SCBs increasing by 22.2 per cent, year-on-year, as
on January 4, 2 00 8.
Private Sector
Ever since the banking operations had been opened to the private sector in
1 99 0 s, the new private banks have been increasing its role in the Indian
banking industry. Against the industry average growth of about 2 0 per cent
in the past five years, the new private sector banks registered a growth of
about 35 per cent per annum, growing from US$ 4 1 .63 billion as of March
2 00 2 to US$ 1 86.7 1 billion by March 2 00 7.

Investment Banking
The flurry of mergers and acquisition deals by Indian corporate has boosted
the investment banking revenues to a record high. Investment banking
revenues from India crossed the US$ 1 billion mark for the first time in 2 00 7
to US$ US$ 1 .0 69 billion.
This is significantly higher than the US$ 4 00 million investment banking
revenues recorded in 2 00 6. Also, this surge in revenues has propelled India
to become the third largest market for investment banking in Asia-Pacific in
2 00 7.
Potential
While this growth has been very impressive, the potential banking market
waiting to be tapped in India is still fairly huge. Out of the 2 0 3 million Indian
households, three-fourths, or 1 47 million, are in rural areas and 89 million
are farmer households. In this segment, 51
.4 per cent have no access toformal or informal sources of credit, while 73 per cent have no access to
formal sources of credit.
In fact, according to a report by Boston Consultancy Group, India has the
second largest financially excluded households of about 1 35 million, which is
next only to china. Also, about 6 0 million new households are expected to be
added to India's bankable pool between 200
5 and 200
9. With such a largeuntapped market, the Indian banking industry is estimated to grow rapidly,
faster than even china in the long run.

Some of the high growth potential areas to be looked at are: the market for
consumer finance stands at about 2%-3% of GDP, compared with 25% in
some European markets, the real estate market in India is growing at 3 0 %
annually and is projected to touch $ 5 0 billion by 2 00 8, the retail credit is
expected to cross Rs 5, 7 0 ,000 crore by 2 010 and huge SME sector which
contributes significantly to Indias GDP.
Road Ahead
Banks aspiring to become global must have a presence in India and other
emerging markets, as they are set to become a major source of financial
sector revenue and profit growth.
As the Indian banking industry continues its rapid growth along with rise in
financial services penetration in the Indian economy, the industry's profit is
likely to simultaneously surge ahead. According to a report by Boston
Consultancy Group, the profit pool of the Indian banking industry is
estimated to increase to US$ 2 0 billion in 2 010 and further to US$ 4 0 billion
by 2 01 5.
Simultaneously, driven by the expansion of the middle class population. With
such a favorable scenario, India is likely to emerge as the third largest
banking hub in the world by 2 0 4 0 , says a Price Waterhouse Coopers report.

New Business Opportunities
With the interest income coming under pressure, banks are urgently looking
for expanding fee-based income activities. Banks are increasingly getting
attracted towards activities such as mutual funds and insurance policiesoffering credit cards to suit different categories of customers and services
such as wealth management and equity trading. These are indeed proving to
be more profitable for banks than plain vanilla lending and borrowing.
The current policy environment enables a fair level of foreign participation
even in the non-banking financial sector of the country.

ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plan)
ULIP is an abbreviation for Unit Linked Insurance Policy. A ULIP is a life
insurance policy which provides a combination of risk cover and investment.
The dynamics of the capital market have a direct bearing on the performance
of the ULIPs. ULIP is life insurance solution that provides for the benefits of
protection and flexibility in investment. The investment is denoted as unitsand is represented by the value that it has attained called as Net Asset Value
(NAV).
ULIP came into play in the 1 96 0 s and became very popular in Western Europe
and Americas. The reason that is attributed to the wide spread popularity of
ULIP is because of the transparency and the flexibility which it offers.
As times progressed the plans were also successfully mapped along with lifeinsurance need to retirement planning. In todays times, ULIP provides
solutions for insurance planning, financial needs, financial planning for
childrens future and retirement planning.
A ULIP, as the name suggests, is a market-linked insurance plan. A ULIP is a

unit linked insurance plan. This is the type of investment where the
characteristics of insurance and mutual fund are combined. Some part of the
money invested goes into the insurance cover and the remaining goes into an
asset class.
The main difference between a ULIP and other insurance plans is the way in
which the premium money is invested. Premium from, say, an endowment
plan, is invested primarily in risk-free instruments like government securities
(gsecs) and AAA rated corporate paper, while ULIP premiums can be invested
in stock markets in addition to corporate bonds and govt. securities.
Type of Funds Most insurers offer a wide range of funds to suit ones investment objectives,
risk profile and time horizons. Different funds have different risk profiles. The
potential for returns also varies from fund to fund.
The following are some of the common types of funds available along with an
indication of their risk characteristics.

ULIPs offer a variety of options to the individual depending on his risk profile.
For instance, an individual with an above-average risk appetite can choose a
ULIP option that invests up to 6 0 % of premium in equities. Likewise, an
-

52/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 52
individual with a lower risk appetite can select a ULIP that invests up to 2 0 %
of premium in equities.
SUM ASSURED
Perhaps the most fundamental difference between ULIPs and traditional
endowment plans is in the concept of premium and sum assured.
When you want to take a traditional endowment plan, the question your agent
will ask you are -- how much insurance cover do you need? Or in other words,
what is the sum assured you are looking for? The premium is calculated based
on the number you give your agent.
With a ULIP it works in reverse. When you opt for a ULIP, you will have to
answer the question -- how much premium can you pay?
Reasons why ULIPs score over endowment plans
Such has been the popularity of ULIPs in the recent past that they have
outpaced the growth of regular endowment plans. We take a look at the mostimportant reasons why ULIPs score over endowment plans.
1 . The power of equity
Simply put, ULIPs are life insurance plans, which have a mandate to invest
upto 100 % of their corpus in equities. While individuals have the choice to
shift between equity and debt (explained later in this article), several studies
have shown that equities are best equipped to deliver better returnscompared to their fixed-return counterparts like bonds and gsecs. And given
the fact that life insurance is a long-term contract, equity-oriented ULIPs
augur well for the policyholder.

IBS, GURGAON Page 53
2 . Flexibility
While ULIPs offer the opportunity to invest up to 100 % in equity, it is also
true that ULIPs provide individuals the flexibility to shift to up to 100 % debt.
It is entirely upon the individual how he wishes to allocate his premiums
between equity and debt. This is not the case with endowment type plans-
individuals can't choose their investment avenues and have to be content with
the insurance company's investment decisions which revolve largely around
debt.
ULIPs are available in 3 broad variants: 'Aggressive' ULIPs, which invest upto100 % of their corpus in equities, 'Balanced' ULIPs which invest upto 6 0 % of
their corpus in equities and 'Conservative' ULIPs which invest up to 100 % of
their corpus in debt instruments and the money market instruments*.
Individuals are free to decide where they want to invest their money. For
example, individuals with an appetite for risk can invest their entire money in
equities while conservative individuals have the option to park their money in
balanced or conservative ULIPs.
* The percentages given in the paragraph above may differ across life
insurance companies.
That apart, ULIPs also provide individuals with the flexibility of
terminating/resuming premiums, increasing/decreasing premiums and paying
top-ups (i.e. a one-time sum over and above the regular premium) whenever
possible. These options are not available in regular endowment plans.
3. Transparency
For the first time, ULIPs introduced transparency into the manner in which life
insurance products were being managed. This is something that was missing
-
8/6/2019 Portfolio Management at Standard Chartered
54/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 54
in conventional savings-based insurance products (like endowment/ money-
back/ pension plans). To understand why we are saying this, one has to first
understand the structure of traditional endowment plans. Traditional
endowment plans have been opaque in more ways than one.
To begin with, traditional endowment plans have invested a sizable portion of
their corpus in debt instruments like gsecs and bonds. The quantum of money
invested is not known. Individuals do not have access to portfolios of
endowment plans so they never find out how much money is in debt/equities.
Add to this the fact that the expenses, which form a sizable percentage of the
premium in the first few years, are also not clear and you have a situation
where the individual is 'investing' in life insurance purely on the basis of faith
and little else!
Unit linked plans brought transparency into the scheme of things. Today, if an
individual wants to invest in a ULIP, he knows upfront what percentage of the
premium is being invested, what are the charges being levied and where his
monies are being invested. This is a welcome change for the policyholder.
Another advantage ULIPs offer is that they enable insurance seekers to
compare plans across companies and help him buy a plan that fits well into
his portfolio. Also ULIPs disclose their portfolios at regular intervals, so you
know exactly where your money is being invested.
4 . TAX BENEFITS
Taxation is one area where there is common ground between ULIPs and
traditional endowment. Premiums in ULIPs as well as traditional endowment
plans are eligible for tax benefits under Section 8 0 C subject to a maximum
limit of Rs 100 ,000 . On the same lines, monies received on maturity on ULIPs
and traditional endowment are tax-free under Section 10 .
-

55/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 55
5 . Liquidity
ULIPs offer liquidity to the individual. He can withdraw money anytime he
wishes to once the initial years' premiums are paid. He will not be levied with
any surrender charges i.e. he stands to get the full market value of his
investments, net of charges, till date. This is unlike conventional endowment
plans where individuals tend to lose out on surrender charges on surrendering
their policies. Besides, part surrender is also allowed in ULIPs. Simply put,
part surrender allows individuals to withdraw a part of their corpus and thuskeep the policy alive, albeit with some adjustments. This helps individuals tide
over a situation where they need cash but have few 'liquid' investments at
their disposal.
So does this mean that it is the end of the road for endowment plans? Not
quite! Individuals need to understand the de-merits of investing in market-
linked products like ULIPs. The latter are susceptible to the vagaries of
markets and can burn a hole in your portfolio over the short term. So if you
can't withstand that kind of volatility, equity-oriented ULIPs are not the right
investment option for you. Insurance seekers would do well to take into
consideration their risk appetite as well as their overall financial portfolio
before taking a final call on ULIP investments. The ideal option is to have a
prudent mix of endowment and ULIPs depending on your preference for either
long-term growth or stability.

MUTUAL FUNDS
A mutual fund is a pool of money, collected from investors, and is investedaccording to certain investment objectives. A mutual fund uses the money
collected from the investors to buy those assets which are specifically
permitted by its stated investment objective. The funds assets are owned by
the investors in the same proportion as their contribution bears to the total
contributions of all investors put together.
HISTORY OF THE INDIAN MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1 963 with the formation of Unit
Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank

IBS, GURGAON Page 61
the. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four
distinct phases
First Phase 19 6 4 -87 GROWTH OF UNIT TRUST OF INDIA
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1 963 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 1 978
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 1 964. At the end of
1 988 UTI had Rs.6, 7 00 crores of assets under management.
Second Phase 19 87- 199 3 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
1 987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by
public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and
General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the first
non- UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1 987 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 established its mutual fund in June 1 989 while GIC had set up
its mutual fund in December 1 99 0 . At the end of 1 993, the mutual fund
industry had assets under management of Rs.47, 00 4 crores.
Third Phase 199 3- 200 3 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)
With the entry of private sector funds in 1 993, a new era started in the
Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of
fund families. Also, 1 993
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
-
8/6/2019 Portfolio Management at Standard Chartered
62/174
Investment Objective & Portfolio Mgmt.
IBS, GURGAON Page 62
governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin
Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1 993.
The 1 993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more
comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1 996. The industry
now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1 996.
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 2 00 3, there were
33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1 ,2 1 ,8 0 5 crores. The Unit Trust of
India with Rs.44, 54 1 crores of assets under management was way ahead of
other mutual funds.
Fourth Phase since February 200 3
In February 2 00 3, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1 963
UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified
Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under management of
Rs.29, 835 crores as at the end of January 200
3, representing broadly, theassets of US 64 scheme, assured return and certain other schemes. 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
2 000 more than Rs.76, 000 crores of assets under management 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, 2 00 4, there were 29
funds, which manage assets of Rs. 1 53 10 8 crores under 42 1 schemes.

on mutual fund units held for a period of 1 2 months or more are long-term
gains. These gains are taxable.
