MUTUAL FUNDS
Introduction
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who
share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is invested by the fund
manager in different types of securities depending upon the objective of the scheme.
These could range from shares to debentures to money market instruments. The income
earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realized by the scheme are
shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them (pro rata).
Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an
cost. Anybody with an investigable surplus of as little as a few thousand rupees can
invest in Mutual Funds. Each Mutual Fund scheme has a defined investment objective
and strategy.
A Mutual fund is the ideal investment vehicle for today's complex and modern
financial scenario. Markets for equity shares, bonds and other fixed income instruments,
real estate, derivatives and other assets have become mature and information driven.
Price changes in these assets are driven by global events occurring in faraway places. A
typical individual is unlikely to have the knowledge, skills, inclination and time to keep
track of events, understand their implications and act speedily. An individual also finds it
difficult to keep track of ownership of his assets, investments, brokerage dues and bank
transactions etc.
qualified and experienced staff that manages each of these functions on a full time basis.
The large pool of money collected in the fund allows it to hire such staff at a very low
The structure of the Indian mutual fund industry has been transformed during the
last ten years or so from a monolithic to a highly competitive structure. The investors
now have to choose from amongst a large number of MF organizations and schemes. An
important aspect examined in this study is how far competition has progressed and what
against a wider perspective by comparing the investors' preferences for MF products with
their preferences for other major financial products, including equity shares, bonds, bank

CONCEPT
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who
share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital
market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned
through these investments and the capital appreciation realized are shared by its unit
holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the
most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a

The Indian mutual fund industry is dominated by the Unit Trust of India which
has a total corpus of Rs 700bn collected from more than 20 million investors. The UTI
has many funds/schemes in all categories ie equity, balanced income etc with some being
open-ended and some being closed-ended. The Unit Scheme 1964 commonly referred to
as US 64, which is a balanced fund, is the biggest scheme with a corpus of about Rs 200
bn. UTI was floated by financial institutions and is governed by a special act of
Parliament. Most of its investors believe that the UTI is government owned and
controlled, which, while legally incorrect, is true for all practical purposes.
The second largest category of mutual funds are the ones floated by nationalized
banks. Canbank Asset Management floated by Canara Bank and SBI Funds Management
floated by the State Bank of India are the largest of these. GIC AMC floated by General
Insurance Corporation and Jeevan Bima Sahayog AMC floated by the LIC are some of
the other prominent ones. The aggregate corpus of funds managed by this category of

Many nationalized banks got into the mutual fund business in the early nineties
and got off to a good start due to the stock market boom prevailing then. These banks did
not really understand the mutual fund business and they just viewed it as another kind of
banking activity. Few hired specialized staff and generally chose to transfer staff from the
parent organizations. The performance of most of the schemes floated by these funds was
not good. Some schemes has offered guaranteed returns and their parent organizations
had to bail out these AMCs by paying large amounts of money as the difference between
the guaranteed and actual returns. The service levels were also very bad. Most of these
AMCs have not been able to retain staff, float new schemes etc. and it is doubtful
whether, barring a few exceptions, they have serious plans of continuing the activity in a
major way.
The experiece of some of the AMCs floated by private sector Indian companies was also
very similar. They quickly realized that the AMC business is a business, which makes
money in the long term and requires deep-pocketed support in the intermediate years.
Some have sold out to foreign owned companies, some have merged with others and
The foreign owned companies have deep pockets and have come in here with the
expectation of a long haul. They can be credited with introducing many new practices
such as new product innovation, sharp improvement in service standards and disclosure,
usage of technology, broker education and support etc. In fact, they have forced the
industry to upgrade itself and service levels of organizations like UTI have improved
dramatically in the last few years in response to the competition provided by these.
objective.
By Structure:
Open-ended Funds
An open-end fund is one that is available for subscription all through the year.
These do not have a fixed maturity. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net
Asset Value (‘‘NAV’’) related prices. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.
Closed-ended Funds
A Closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging from
3 to 15 years. The und is open for subscription only during a specified period. Investors
can invest in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy
or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where they are listed. In order to
provide an exit route to 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 tot he
investor.
Interval Funds
They are open for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV related
prices.
By Investment Objective :
Growth Funds
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to
long-term. Such schemes normally invest a majority of their corpus in equities. It has
been proven that returns from stocks, have outperformed most other kind of investments
helf over the long term. Growth schemes are ideal for investors having a long-term
Income Funds
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors.
Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate
debentures and government securities. Income Funds are ideal for capital stability and
regular income.
Balanced Funds
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such
schemes periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equites and fixed
income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. In a rising stock
market, the NAV of these schemes may not normally keep pace, or fall equally when the
market falls. These ar5e ideal for investors looking for a combination of income and
moderate growth.
capital and moderate income. These schemes generally invest in safer short-term
instruments such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit commercial paper and inter-bank
call money. Returns on these schemes may fluctuate depending upon the interest rates
prevailing in the market. These are ideal for Corporate and individual investors as a
Load Funds
A Load Fund is one that charges a commission for entry or exit. That is, each time
you buy or sell units in the fund, a commission will be payable. Typically entry and exit
loads range from 1% to 2%. It could be worth paying the load, if the fund has a good
performance history.
No-Load Funds
A No-Load Fund is one that does not charge a commission for entry or exit. That
is, no commission is payable on purchase or sale of units in the fund. The advantage of a

The net asset value of the fund is the cumulative market value of the assets fund
net of its liabilities. In other words, if the fund is dissolved or liquidated, by selling off all
the assets in the fund, this is the amount that the shareholders would collectively own.
This gives rise to the concept of net asset value per unit, which is the value, represented
by the ownership of one unit in the fund. It is calculated simply by dividing the net asset
value of the fund by the number of units. However, most people refer loosely to the NAV
per unit as NAV, ignoring the ‘‘per unit’’. We also abide by the same convention.
Calculation of NAV
The most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the assets owned by
the fund. Once it is calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of assets divided by the
number of units outstanding. The detailed methodology for the calculation of the asset
Dividends/interest accrued Amount due on unpaid assets Expenses accrued but not paid.
For liquid shares/debentures, valuation is done on the basis of the last or closing
For illiquid and unlisted and/or thinly traded shares/debentures, the value has to
be estimated. For shares, this could be the book value per share or an estimated market
price if suitable benchmarks are available. For debentures and bonds, value is estimated
on the basis of yields of comparable liquid securities after adjusting for illiquidity. The
value of fixed interest bearing securities moves in a direction opposite to interest rate
changes Valuation of debentures and bonds is a big problem since most of them are
unlisted and thinly traded. This gives considerable leeway to the AMCs on valuation and
some of the AMCs are believed to take advantage of this and adopt flexible valuation
But, with every passing day, interest is said to be accrued, at the daily interest rate, which
is calculated by dividing the periodic interest payment with the number of days in each
period. Thus, accrued interest on a particular day is equal to the daily interest rate
multiplied by the number of days since the last interest payment date.
Usually, dividends are proposed at the time of the Annual General meeting and
become due on the record date. There is a gap between the dates on which it becomes due
and the actual payment date. In the intermediate period, it is deemed to be ‘‘accrued’’.
Expenses including management fees, custody charges etc. are calculated on a daily
basis.
country. The ride through these 36 years is not been smooth. Investor opinion is still
divided. While some are for mutual funds others are against it.
UTI commenced its operations from July 1964. The impetus for establishing a
formal institution came from the desire to increase the propensity of the middle and lower
groups to save and to invest. UTI came into existence during a period marked by great
political and economic uncertainty in India. With war on the borders and economic
turmoil that depressed the financial market, entrepreneurs were hesitant to enter capital
market. The already existing companies found it difficult to raise fresh capital, as
investors did not respond adequately to new issues. Earnest efforts were required to
canalize savings of the community into productive uses in order to speed up the process
of industrial growth. Then the Finance Minister, T.T. Krishnamachari set up the idea of a
unit trust that would be ‘‘open to any person or institution to purchase the units offered
by the trust. However, this institution as we see it, is intended to cater to the needs of
individual investors, and even among them as far as possible, to those whose means are
small.’’
His ideas took the form of the Unit Trust of India, an intermediary that would help
fulfill the twin objectives of mobilizing retail savings and investing those savings in the
capital market and passing on the benefits so accrued to the small investors.
UTI commenced its operations from July 1964 ‘‘with a view to encouraging

industry has grown at a compounded average growth rate of 26.34% to its current size of
Rs 1130bn.
The period 1986-1993 can be termed as the period of public sector mutual funds

last long. When the private sector made its debut in 1993-94, the stock market was

various asset management companies in the time to come. Some big names like Fidelity,
Principal, Old Mutual etc. are looking at Indian market seriously. One important reason
for it is that most major players already have presence here and hence these big names
this would enable it to hedge its risk and this in turn would be reflected in it's Net Asset
Value (NAV).
SEBI is working out the norms for enabling the existing mutual fund schemes to
trade in derivatives. Importantly, many market players have called on the Regulator to
initiate the process immediately, so that the mutual funds can implement the changes that
Market Trends
A lone UTI with just one scheme in 1964, now competes with as many as 400 odd
products and 34 players in the market. In spite of the stiff competition and losing market
Last six years have been the most turbulent as well as exiting ones for the
industry. New players have come in, while others have decided to close shop by either
selling off or merging with others. Product innovation is now passe with the game
agents, and even the regulators have become more mature and responsible.
The opening up of the asset management business to private sector in 1993 saw
international players like Morgan Stanley, Jardine Fleming, JP Morgan, George Soros
and Capital International along with the host of domestic players join the party. But for
the equity funds, the period of 1994-96 was one of the worst in the history of Indian
Mutual Funds.
Mutual funds have been around for a long period of time to be precise for 36 yrs
but the year 1999-2004 were immense future potential and developments in this sector.
These years signaled the years of resurgence of mutual funds and the regaining of
investor confidence in these MF's. This time around all the participants are involved in
the revival of the funds---the AMC's, the unit holders, the other related parties. However
the sole factor that gave lifr to the revival of the funds was the Union Budget. The budget
brought about a large number of changes in one stroke. An insight of the Union Budget
It provided centrestage to the mutual funds, made them more attractive and
provides acceptability among the investors. The Union Budget exempted mutual fund
dividend given out by equity-oriented schemes from tax, both at the hands of the investor
as well as the mutual fund. No longer were the mutual funds interested in selling the
concept of mutual funds they wanted to talk business which would mean to increase asset
base, and to get asset base and investor base they had to be fully armed with a whole lot
of schemes for every investor. So new schemes for new IPO's were inevitable. The quest
to attract investors extended beyond just new schemes. The funds started to regulate
themselves and were all out on winning the trust and confidence of the investors under
One cam say that the industry is moving from infancy to adolescence, the industry
is maturing and the investors and funds are frankly and openly discussing difficulties
Future Scenario
The asset base will continue to grow at an annual rate of about 30 to 35% over the
next few years as investor's shift their assets from banks and other traditional avenues.
Some of the older public and private sector players will either close shop or be taken
over.
The industry is also having a profound impact on financial markets. While UTI
has always been a dominant player on the bourses as well as the debt markets, the new
generation of private funds which have gained substantial mass are now seen flexing their
muscles. Fund managers, by their selection criteria for stocks have forced corporate
higher valuations, a system of risk-reward has been created where the corporate sector is
Funds have shifted their focus to the recession free sectors like pharmaceuticals,
FMCG and technology sector. Funds performances are improving. Funds collection,
which averaged at less than Rs 100bn per annum over five-year period spanning 1993-98
doubled to Rs 210 bn in 1998-99. In the current year mobilization till now have exceeded
Rs 300 bn. total collection of the current financial year ending March 2004 was archived
Rs 450 bn.
What is particularly noteworthy is that bulk of the mobilization has been by the
private sector mutual funds rather than public sector mutual funds. Indeed private MFs
saw a net inflow of Rs. 7819.34 Crore during the first nine months of the year 2004 as
against a net inflow of Rs. 604.40 crore in the case of public sector funds.
Mutual funds are now also competing with commercial banks in the race for retail
investor's 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 in the current year indicates that money is going to
mutual funds in a big way. The collection in the first half of the financial year 2003-2004
India is at the first stage of a revolution that has already peaked in the U.S. the
U.S. boasts of an Asset base that is much higher than its bank deposits. In India' mutual
fund assets are not even 10% of the bank deposits, but this trend is beginning to change.
Recent figures indicate that in the first quarter of the current fiscal year mutual fund
assets went up by 115% whereas bank deposits rose by only 17% (Source : Thinktank,
The Financial Express September, 03). This is forcing a large number of banks to adopt
the concept of narrow banking wherein the deposits are kept in gilts and some other
assets which improves liquidity and reduces risk. The basic fact lies that banks cannot be
ignored and they will not close down completely. Their role as intermediaries cannot be
ignored. It is just that Mutual Funds are going to change the way banks do business in
the future.

Global Scenario
Some basic facts—
• The money market mutual fund segment has a total corpus of $ 1.48 trillion in the
• Out of the top 10 mutual funds worldwide, eight are bank-sponsored. Only
• In the U.S. the total number of schemes is higher than that of the listed companies
• In the U.S. about 9.7 million households will manage their assets on-line by the
• On-line trading is a great idea to reduce management expenses from the current
• 72% of the core customer base of mutual funds in the top 50-broking firms in the
Internationally, on-line investing continues its meteoric rise. Many have debated
about the success of e-commerce and its breakthroughs, but it is true that this aspect
of technology could and will change the way financial sectors function. However,
mutual funds cannot be left far behind. They have realized the potential of the
In fact in advanced countries like the U.S.A. mutual funds buy-sell transactions have
already begun on the Net, while in India the Net is used as a source of Information.
Such changes could facilitate easy access, lower intermediation costs and better
services for all. A research agency that specializes in internet technology estimates that
over the next four years Mutual Fund Assets traded on-line will grow ten folds from $
128 billion to $ 1,227 billion; whereas equity assets traded on-line will increase during
the period from $ 246 billion to $ 1,561 billion. This will increase the share of mutual
Such increases in volumes are expected to bring about large changes in the way
Here are some of the basic changes that have taken place since the advent of the
Net.
• Lower Costs : Distribution of funds will fall in the online trading regime by
2003. Mutual funds could bring down their administrative costs to 0.75% if
trading is done on-line. As per SEBI regulations, bond funds can charge a
maximum of 2.25% and equity funds can charge 2.5% as administrative fees.
Therefore if the administrative costs are low, the benefits are passed down and
hence Mutual Funds are able to attract mire investors and increase their asset
base.
• Better advice: Mutual funds could provide better advice to their investors
through the Net rather than through the traditional investment routes where there
is an additional channel to deal with the Brokers. Direct dealing with the fund
• In India, brokers could get more Net savvy than investors and could help the
young individuals and who are Net savvy, since servicing them would be easier
on the Net.
• India has around 1.6 million net users who are prime target for these funds and
this could just be the beginning. The Internet users are going to increase
dramatically and mutual funds are going to be the best beneficiary. With smaller
ready to tackle the volatility and will have to maintain sufficient amount of
investments which are high liquidity and low yielding investments to honor
redemption.
• Net based advertisements: There will be more sites involved in ads and
promotion of mutual funds. In the U.S. sites like AOL offer detailed research and
financial details about the functioning of different funds and their performance
statistics a is witnessing a genesis in this area. There are many sites such as
indiainfoline.com and indiafn.com that are doing something similar and providing
In the U.S. most mutual funds concentrate only on financial funds like equity and
debt. Some like real estate funds and commodity funds also take an exposure to physical
assets. The latter type of funds are preferred by corporate’s who want to hedge their

The above two sections provided relief from capital gains tax if investments were made
in specified securities and locked in for a period of 3 years in the case of 54 EA and 7

the average of approximately 14%. This is expected to hurt retail investment in debt
schemes and could lead to a pull out and reduced mobilization. Two implications of this
move could be :
• Switch over from debt to equity schemes; since open ended equity schemes are
free from paying dividend tax, these schemes could attract some of the investment
Instead of taxing debt schemes so as to bring parity between the banks and mutual
funds, it is widely felt that the finance minister could have simply extended some of the
benefits enjoyed by mutual funds to banks and FIs. The experience with mutual funds has
in any case shown that turning dividends tax free in the hands of investors has simply
improved collections, widened the tax base and reduced procedural delays.
Tax implication for income received from schemes other than open-end equity

By definition all schemes that are not open-end equity oriented schemes must pay
a distribution tax. This tax has been fixed at 10%. In fact, the actual tax will be 11% since

Mutual Funds Should Creative Value
identifying the best performing companies and stocks, thereby also putting pressure
needs.

service) to securities, like bonds or infrequently traded shares, which may otherwise
be liquid.
(5) Improving the reach of investment products to small investors through widest
tremendous advantage over other institutional providers, viz Banks, insurance to Rs. 15
due to market boom against his purchase price of Rs. 10. He decides to exit from the
scheme realizing Rs. 15,00,000 from the Fund. Subsequently, the NAV falls ro Rs. 12.50
and he re-invests the whole of Rs. 15,00,000 at the reduced price of Rs. 12.50 per unit,
thus increasing his holding from the original 100,000 units to 1,20,000 units without
having to increase his original investment. This dilutes the earnings of all the other unit
holders who have stayed with the scheme through out. Tit hurts the scheme for another
reason too, because the presence of such trader-unit holders requires the maintenance of a
larger proportion of assets in low-yielding liquid forms in order to meet the demand for
repurchases.
