REASONS BEHIND GROWTH


Professional Management: Qualified professionals manage your money but they are not alone. They have a research team that continuously analyses the performance and prospects of companies. They also select suitable investment to achieve the objective of the scheme, so you see that it is a continues process that takes time and expertise that will add value to your investment. These fund managers are in a better position to manage investments and get a higher return. Diversification: the Clich, Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Really applies to the concept of intelligent investing. Diversification lowers the risk of loss by spreading your money across various industries it is a rare occasion when all stocks decline at the same time and in the same proportion. Choice of schemes: Mutual Fund offers a variety of schemes that will suit individuals needs over a lifetime. When you enter a new stage in your life, all you need to do is sit down with your investments advisers who will help you to re-arrange your portfolio to suit your altered life style. Affordability: As small investors, we may find that it is not possible to buy shares of larger corporations. Mutual funds generally buy and sell securities in large volumes, PRAVEEN JAIN

which allow investors to benefit from lower trading costs. The smallest investor can get started on mutual funds because of the minimal investment requirements. We can invest with a minimum of Rs. 500 in Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) on a regular basis. Tax benefits: Investments held by investors for a period of 12 months or more qualify for capital gains and will be taxed accordingly. These investments also get the benefit of indexation. And also the dividend received by an investor is tax free in the hands of investors. Liquidity: with open-end funds, we can redeem all or part of investment any time when we wish and receive the current value of the shares or the NAV related price. Funds are more liquid than most investments in shares, deposits and bonds and the process is standardize, making it quick and efficient so that we can get your cash in hand as soon as possible. Rupees Cost Averaging: Through using this concept of investing the same amount regularly, mutual funds give you the advantage of getting the average unit price over the long-term. This reduces your risk and also allows you to discipline yourself by actually investing every month or quarterly and not making sporadic investments. The Transparency of Mutual Funds: The performance of a mutual fund is reviewed by various publications and rating agencies, making it easy for investors to compare one to the other. Once we became part of mutual fund scheme, we were provided with regular PRAVEEN JAIN

updates, for example daily NAVs, as well as information on the specific investments made and the fund managers strategy and out look of the scheme. Regulations of Mutual Funds: All mutual funds are required to register with SEBI. They are obliged to follow strict regulations designed to protect investors. All operations are also regularly monitored by the SEBI.

SUGGESTIONS

PRAVEEN JAIN

Comparative study on performance of Equity Schemes of Reliance Mutual Fund.

Holding a seminar and presentations or Investors meet in the stock broking firm help the investors to remove any misconception regarding the Mutual Fund and this will create awareness of Mutual fund.

Agents are the main person who influences the investment decision. Company can hire fresh graduates train them and sponsor for the AMFI exam just like insurance companies who conduct IRDA training. This will increase the feet on street for the mutual fund companies.

Company has to provide timely services to its customers so that it can compete with its competitors like Franklin Templeton and HDFC.
