Indias leading private sector bank, Federal Bank and Europes premier Bank
assurer, Ageas, each of which enjoys a significant status in their respective business
segments. In this venture, IDBI owns 48% equity while Federal Bank and Fortis
own 26% equity each.
Let us have a brief look over these three companies:
1.1.1 IDBI Bank Limited
Development Banking emerged after the Second World War and the Great
Depression in 1930s. The demand for reconstruction funds for the affected nations
compelled in setting up of national institutions for reconstruction. At the time of
Independence in 1947, India had a fairly developed banking system. The adoption of
bank dominated financial development strategy was aimed at meeting the sectoral
credit needs, particularly of agriculture and industry. Specialised development
financial institutions (DFIs) such as the IDBI, NABARD, NHB and SIDBI, etc.,
with majority ownership of the Reserve Bank were set up to meet the long-term
financing requirements of industry and agriculture.
The Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) was established in 1964 under an
Act of Parliament as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. In
1976, the ownership of IDBI was transferred to the Government of India and it was
made the principal financial institution for , promoting and developing industry in
3

India. But after the public issue of IDBI in July 1995, the Government shareholding
in the Bank came down from 100% to 75%.
IDBI, formally entered the portals of banking business as IDBI Ltd. from 1 October 2004. In
2006, IDBI Bank acquired United Western Bank in a rescue. By acquiring UWB, IDBI Bank
more than doubled the number of its branches from 195 to 425.

states and 1371 ATMs across the country. Its balance-sheet stood at Rs 1.03 trillion
as of end March 2014 and its net profit stood at Rs 839 crore for the full fiscal .
In 1931, Travancore Federal Bank began operations at Pattamukkil Varattisseril
house near Nedumpuram, near Thiruvalla, Kerala. The home functioned as the bank
office for nearly 15 years. A lawyer from Perumbavoor named K.P.Hormis, and his
acquaintances, bought the bank and took over the management. In 1945 they moved
the bank's registered office to Aluva and Hormis became the Managing Director. In
1947, the bank's name was shortened from Travancore Federal Bank to Federal
Bank.
Between 1963 and 1970, Federal Bank took over Chalakudy Public Bank, Cochin
Union Bank (1963) in Trichur, Alleppey Bank (1964) in Alappuzha, St. George
Union Bank (1965) in Puthenpally, and Marthandam Commercial Bank (1968)
in Thiruvananthapuram. In 1970, it became a scheduled commercial bank and came
out with itsinitial public offering in 1994.

CHAPTER 3
Comparative study on
various investment
instruments-
INSURENCE and MUTUAL
FUNDS



23

4.1 Introduction
Saving is income not spent, or deferred consumption. Methods of saving include putting
money aside in a bank or pension plan. Saving also includes reducing expenditures, such as
recurring costs. In terms of personal finance, saving specifies low-risk preservation of
money, as in a deposit account, versus investment, wherein risk is higher.
Saving is closely related to investment. By not using income to buy consumer goods and
services, it is possible for resources to instead be invested by being used to producefixed
capital, such as factories and machinery. Saving can therefore be vital to increase the
amount of fixed capital available, which contributes to economic growth.
Investment is the purchase of an asset or item with the hope that it will generate income or
appreciate in the future and be sold at the higher price. The term investment is usually used
when referring to a long-term outlook. This is the opposite of trading or speculation, which
are short-term practices involving a much higher degree of risk.
the various types of investing tools are:
Bank (FD, RD,SA)
Shares
Bonds
Gold
Insurance
Post office
Mutual funds
24

All the instruments are good to be invested with some positives and negative factors. Let us
do a detailed study of insurance and mutual funds as the investment tools in current era
and compare both of them.
4.2 INSURANCE
insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in
exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management. Insurance involves pooling funds
from many insured entities (known as exposures) to pay for the losses that some may incur.
The insured entities are therefore protected from risk for a fee, with the fee being
dependent upon the frequency and severity of the event occurring.
An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a company selling the insurance; the insured, or
policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to
be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium.
Methods for transferring or distributing risk were practiced
by Chinese and Babylonian traders as long ago as the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC,
respectively. Chinese merchants travelling treacherous river rapids would redistribute their
wares across many vessels to limit the loss due to any single vessel's capsizing. The
Babylonians developed a system which was recorded in the famous Code of Hammurabi, c.
1750 BC, If a merchant received a loan to fund his shipment, he would pay the lender an
additional sum in exchange for the lender's guarantee to cancel the loan should the
shipment be stolen or lost at sea.

3.2.1 Life Insurance
Life insurance provides a monetary benefit to a decedent's family or other designated
beneficiary, and may specifically provide for income to an insured person's family,
burial, funeral and other final expenses. Basically, the insured person pay premiums
according to the policy, when he is alive, and gets the grantee of payback the total
premium amount with increment in amount in form of interest, bonuses etc, to his
family after his death. Life insurance policies often allow the option of having the
proceeds paid to the beneficiary either in a lump sum cash payment or an annuity.
3.2.2 Reinsurance
Reinsurance is insurance that is purchased by an insurance company from one or
more other insurance companies
27

4.3 MUTUAL FUNDS
A mutual fund is a type of professionally managed collective investment scheme that
pools money from many miscellaneous investors to purchase securities. While there is no
legal definition of the term mutual fund, it is most commonly applied only to those
collective investment vehicles that are regulated and sold to the general public. They are
sometimes referred to as "investment companies" or "registered investment
companies". Most mutual funds are open-ended, meaning stockholders can buy or sell
shares of the fund at any time by redeeming them from the fund itself, rather than on an
exchange. Hedge funds are not considered a type of mutual fund, primarily because they
are not sold publicly.
Mutual funds have both advantages and disadvantages compared to direct investing in individual
securities.
The fund manager, also known as the fund sponsor or fund management company, trades(buys and
sells) the fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. A fund manager
must be a registered investment advisor. Funds that are managed by the same fund manager and
that have the same brand name are known as a fund family orfund complex.
Advantages and disadvantages
Mutual funds have advantages compared to direct investing in individual securities.These
include:
Increased diversification: A fund must hold many securities. Diversifying reduces risks
compared to holding a single stock, bond, other available instruments.
Daily liquidity: This concept applies only to open-end funds. Shareholders may trade
their holdings with the fund manager at the close of a trading day based on the closing net
28

asset value of the fund's holdings. However, there may be fees and restrictions as stated
in the fund prospectus. For holders of individual stocks, bonds, closed-end funds, ETFs,
and other available instruments, there may not be a buyer/seller for that instrument every
day, making such investments less liquid.
Professional investment management: A highly variable aspect of a fund discussed in the
prospectus. Actively managed funds may have large staffs of analysts who actively trade
the fund holdings. Management of an index fund may just passively re-balance holdings
to match a market index like the Standard and Poors 500 Index.
Ability to participate in investments that may be available only to larger investors:
Foreign markets, in particular, are rarely open and affordable for individual investors.
Moreover, the research required to make sensible foreign investments may require
knowledge of another language and the rules of regulations of other markets.
Service and convenience: This is not a feature of a mutual fund, but rather a feature of the
fund management company. Increasingly in recent years, there are funds, notably
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that are purely investment instruments without any
additional services from the fund management company.
Government oversight: Largely, the US government's role with mutual funds is to require
the publication of a prospectus describing the fund. No such document is required for
stock, bonds, currencies, and other investment instruments. There is no governmental
oversight of a fund's investment success/failure.
Ease of comparison: Since mutual funds are available from many providers, it is
generally easy to find similar funds and compare features such as expenses.

29

Mutual funds have disadvantages as well, which include
Fees
Less control over timing of recognition of gains
Less predictable income
No opportunity to customize

4.5 LESSON LEARNT
This summer training project taught me a lots of thing about the real cooperate
world, I learnt how the basic concept we studied are used in day to day
operations. Moreover, I personally experienced the pressure of completing the
30

targets, the same pressure my parents experiences every day at there work
place.
