capital appreciation for distribution for the members. A Mutual Fund is a
corporation and the fund manager’s interest is to professionally manage the
funds provided by the investors and provide a return on them after
deducting reasonable management fees.
The objective sought to be achieved by Mutual Fund is to provide an
opportunity for lower income groups to acquire without much difficulty
financial assets. They cater mainly to the needs of the individual investor whose
means are small and to manage investors portfolio in a manner that provides a
regular income, growth, safety, liquidity and diversification opportunities.
1.3 DEFINITION :
“Mutual funds are collective savings and investment vehicles where
savings of small (or sometimes big) investors are pooled together to invest for
their mutual benefit and returns distributed proportionately”.
“A mutual fund is an investment that pools your money with the money of
an unlimited number of other investors. In return, you and the other investors
each own shares of the fund. The fund's assets are invested according to an
investment objective into the fund's portfolio of investments. Aggressive growth
funds seek long-term capital growth by investing primarily in stocks of fast-
growing smaller companies or market segments. Aggressive growth funds are
also called capital appreciation funds”.

1.4 HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA:
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of
Unit Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve
Bank. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four
distinct phases
Page | 4
families. Also, 1993 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 governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin
Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993. The
1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more
comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now
functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996. 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 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with
total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs.44,541
crores of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.

1.5 ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
If mutual funds are emerging as the favorite investment vehicle, it is
because of the many advantages they have over other forms and the avenues of
investing, particularly for the investor who has limited resources available in
terms of capital and the ability to carry out detailed research and market
monitoring. The following are the major advantages offered by mutual funds to
all investors:
1. Portfolio Diversification:
Each investor in the fund is a part owner of all the fund’s assets, thus
enabling him to hold a diversified investment portfolio even with a small
amount of investment that would otherwise require big capital.
2. Professional Management:
Even if an investor has a big amount of capital available to him, he benefits
from the professional management skills brought in by the fund in the
management of the investor’s portfolio. The investment management skills,
along with the needed research into available investment options, ensure a much
better return than what an investor can manages on his own. Few investors have
the skill and resources of their own to succeed in today’s fast moving, global
and sophisticated markets.
3. Reduction/Diversification of Risk:
When an investor invests directly, all the risk of potential loss is his own,
whether he places a deposit with a company or a bank, or he buys a share or
debenture on his own or in any other from. While investing in the pool of funds
with investors, the potential losses are also shared with other investors. The risk
reduction is one of the most important benefits of a collective investment
vehicle like the mutual fund.

1.6 DISADVANTAGES OF INVESTING THROUGH MUTUAL
FUNDS:
1. No Control Over Costs:
An investor in a mutual fund has no control of the overall costs of
investing. The investor pays investment management fees as long as he remains
with the fund, albeit in return for the professional management and research.
Fees are payable even if the value of his investments is declining. A mutual
fund investor also pays fund distribution costs, which he would not incur in
direct investing. However, this shortcoming only means that there is a cost to
obtain the mutual fund services.
2. No Tailor-Made Portfolio:
Investors who invest on their own can build their own portfolios of shares
and bonds and other securities. Investing through fund means he delegates this
decision to the fund managers. The very-high-net-worth individuals or large
corporate investors may find this to be a constraint in achieving their objectives.
However, most mutual fund managers help investors overcome this constraint
by offering families of funds- a large number of different schemes- within their
own management company. An investor can choose from different investment
plans and constructs a portfolio to his choice.
3. Managing A Portfolio Of Funds:
Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too much choice
for the investor. He may again need advice on how to select a fund to achieve
his objectives, quite similar to the situation when he has individual shares or
bonds to select.
4. The Wisdom of Professional Management:
That's right, this is not an advantage. The average mutual fund manager is
no better at picking stocks than the average nonprofessional, but charges fees.
5. No Control:
Unlike picking your own individual stocks, a mutual fund puts you in the
passenger seat of somebody else's car
6. Dilution:
Page | 8
Mutual funds generally have such small holdings of so many
different stocks that insanely great performance by a fund's top holdings still
doesn't make much of a difference in a mutual fund's total performance.
7. Buried Costs:
Many mutual funds specialize in burying their costs and in hiring salesmen
who do not make those costs clear to their clients.

1.7 TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS SCHEMES IN INDIA
Wide variety of Mutual Fund Schemes exists to cater to the needs such as
financial position, risk tolerance and return expectations etc. thus mutual funds
has Variety of flavors, Being a collection of many stocks, an investors can go
for picking a mutual fund might be easy. There are over hundreds of mutual
funds scheme to choose from. It is easier to think of mutual funds in categories,
mentioned below.
A). BY STRUCTURE
1. Open - Ended Schemes:
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.
2. Close - Ended Schemes:
Page | 10
A closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally ranging
from 3 to 15 years. The fund 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 to the
investor.
3. Interval Schemes:
Interval Schemes are that scheme, which combines the features of open-
ended and close ended schemes. The units may be traded on the stock exchange
or may be open for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV
related prices.
B). BY NATURE
1. Equity Fund:
These funds invest a maximum part of their corpus into equities holdings.
The structure of the fund may vary different for different schemes and the fund
manager’s outlook on different stocks. The Equity Funds are sub-classified
depending upon their investment objective, as follows:
• Diversified Equity Funds
• Mid-Cap Funds
• Sector Specific Funds
• Tax Savings Funds (ELSS)
Equity investments are meant for a longer time horizon, thus Equity funds rank
high on the risk-return matrix.
2. Debt Funds:
The objective of these Funds is to invest in debt papers. Government
authorities, private companies, banks and financial institutions are some of the
Page | 11
major issuers of debt papers. By investing in debt instruments, these funds
ensure low risk and provide stable income to the investors. Debt funds are
further classified as:
• Gilt Funds:
Invest their corpus in securities issued by Government, popularly known as
Government of India debt papers. These Funds carry zero Default risk but are
associated with Interest Rate risk. These schemes are safer as they invest in
papers backed by Government.
• Income Funds:
Invest a major portion into various debt instruments such as bonds,
corporate debentures and Government securities.
• MIPs:
Invests maximum of their total corpus in debt instruments while they
take minimum exposure in equities. It gets benefit of both equity and debt
market. These scheme ranks slightly high on the risk-return matrix when
compared with other debt schemes.
• Short Term Plans (STPs):
Meant for investment horizon for three to six months. These funds
primarily invest in short term papers like Certificate of Deposits (CDs)
and Commercial Papers (CPs). Some portion of the corpus is also invested in
corporate debentures.
• Liquid Funds:
Also known as Money Market Schemes, These funds provides easy
liquidity and preservation of capital. These schemes invest in short-term
instruments like Treasury Bills, inter-bank call money market, CPs and CDs.
These funds are meant for short-term cash management of corporate houses
and are meant for an investment horizon of 1day to 3 months. These schemes
rank low on risk-return matrix and are considered to be the safest amongst all
categories of mutual funds.
3. Balanced Funds:
Page | 12
As the name suggest they, are a mix of both equity and debt funds. They
invest in both equities and fixed income securities, which are in line with pre-
defined investment objective of the scheme. These schemes aim to provide
investors with the best of both the worlds. Equity part provides growth and the
debt part provides stability in returns. Further the mutual funds can be broadly
classified on the basis of investment parameter viz, Each category of funds is
backed by an investment philosophy, which is pre-defined in the objectives of
the fund. The investor can align his own investment needs with the funds
objective and invest accordingly.
Page | 13
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 no load fund is that the entire corpus is put to work.
OTHER SCHEMES
Tax Saving Schemes:
Tax-saving schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under tax laws
prescribed from time to time. Under Sec.88 of the Income Tax Act,
contributions made to any Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) are eligible
for rebate.
Index Schemes:
Index schemes attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index
such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE 50. The portfolio of these schemes will
consist of only those stocks that constitute the index. The percentage of each
stock to the total holding will be identical to the stocks index weightage. And
hence, the returns from such schemes would be more or less equivalent to those
of the Index.
Sector Specific Schemes:
These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those
sectors or industries as specified in the offer documents. e.g. Pharmaceuticals,
Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The
returns in these funds are dependent on the performance of the respective
sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns, they are more
risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the
performance of those sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time.
Page | 14
1.8 NET ASSET VALUE (NAV):
Since each owner is a part owner of a mutual fund, it is necessary to
establish the value of his part. In other words, each share or unit that an investor
holds needs to be assigned a value. Since the units held by investor evidence the
ownership of the fund’s assets, the value of the total assets of the fund when
divided by the total number of units issued by the mutual fund gives us the
value of one unit. This is generally called the Net Asset Value (NAV)of one
unit or one share. The value of an investor’s part ownership is thus determined
by the NAV of the number of units held.
Calculation of NAV:
Let us see an example. If the value of a fund’s assets stands at Rs. 100 and
it has 10 investors who have bought 10 units each, the total numbers of units
issued are 100, and the value of one unit is Rs. 10.00 (1000/100). If a single
investor in fact owns 3 units, the value of his ownership of the fund will be Rs.
30.00(1000/100*3). Note that the value of the fund’s investments will keep
fluctuating with the market-price movements, causing the Net Asset Value also
to fluctuate. For example, if the value of our fund’s asset increased from Rs.
1000 to 1200, the value of our investors holding of 3 units will now be
(1200/100*3) Rs. 36. The investment value can go up or down, depending on
the markets value of the fund’s assets.

1.9 MUTUAL FUND FEES AND EXPENSES
Mutual fund fees and expenses are charges that may be incurred by
investors who hold mutual funds. Running a mutual fund involves costs,
including shareholder transaction costs, investment advisory fees, and
marketing and distribution expenses. Funds pass along these costs to investors
in a number of ways.
1. TRANSACTION FEES
i) Purchase Fee:
It is a type of fee that some funds charge their shareholders when they buy
shares. Unlike a front-end sales load, a purchase fee is paid to the fund (not to a
broker) and is typically imposed to defray some of the fund's costs associated
with the purchase.
ii) Redemption Fee:
It is another type of fee that some funds charge their shareholders when
they sell or redeem shares. Unlike a deferred sales load, a redemption fee is paid
to the fund (not to a broker) and is typically used to defray fund costs associated
with a shareholder's redemption.
Page | 16
Account fees are fees that some funds separately impose on investors
in connection with the maintenance of their accounts. For example, some funds
impose an account maintenance fee on accounts whose value is less than a
certain dollar amount.
3. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Transaction Costs:
These costs are incurred in the trading of the fund's assets. Funds with a
high turnover ratio or investing in illiquid or exotic markets usually face higher
transaction costs. Unlike the Total Expense Ratio these costs are usually not
reported.
LOADS
Definition of a load
Load funds exhibit a "Sales Load" with a percentage charge levied on
purchase or sale of shares. A load is a type of Commission (remuneration).
Depending on the type of load a mutual fund exhibits, charges may be incurred
at time of purchase, time of sale, or a mix of both. The different types of loads
are outlined below.
Front-end load:
Also known as Sales Charge, this is a fee paid when shares are purchased.
Also known as a "front-end load," this fee typically goes to the brokers that sell
the fund's shares. Front-end loads reduce the amount of your investment. For
example, let's say you have Rs.10,000 and want to invest it in a mutual fund
with a 5% front-end load. The Rs.500 sales load you must pay comes off the
top, and the remaining Rs.9500 will be invested in the fund. According to
NASD rules, a front-end load cannot be higher than 8.5% of your investment.
Back-end load:
Also known as Deferred Sales Charge, this is a fee paid when shares are
sold. Also known as a "back-end load," this fee typically goes to the brokers
that sell the fund's shares. The amount of this type of load will depend on how
long the investor holds his or her shares and typically decreases to zero if the
investor holds his or her shares long enough.
Page | 17
Level load / Low load:
It's similar to a back-end load in that no sales charges are paid when buying
the fund. Instead a back-end load may be charged if the shares purchased are
sold within a given time frame. The distinction between level loads and low
loads as opposed to back-end loads, is that this time frame where charges are
levied is shorter.
No-load Fund:
As the name implies, this means that the fund does not charge any type of
sales load. But, as outlined above, not every type of shareholder fee is a "sales
load." A no-load fund may charge fees that are not sales loads, such as purchase
fees, redemption fees, exchange fees, and account fees.
Page | 18
Cost factor:
Though the AMC fee is regulated, you should look at the expense ratio of
the fund before investing. This is because the money is deducted from your
investments. A higher entry load or exit load also will eat into your returns. A
higher expense ratio can be justified only by superlative returns. It is very
crucial in a debt fund, as it will devour a few percentages from your modest
returns.
Also, Morningstar rates mutual funds. Each year end, many financial
publications list the year’s best performing mutual funds. Naturally, very eager
investors will rush out to purchase shares of last year's top performers. That's a
big mistake. Remember, changing market conditions make it rare that last year's
top performer repeats that ranking for the current year. Mutual fund investors
would be well advised to consider the fund prospectus, the fund manager, and
the current market conditions. Never rely on last year's top performers.
Types of Returns on Mutual Fund:
There are three ways, where the total returns provided by mutual funds can
be enjoyed by Investors:
• Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays
out nearly all income it receives over the year to fund owners in the form of a
distribution.
• If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital
gain. Most funds also pass on these gains to investors in a distribution. If fund
holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund's
shares increase in price. You can then sell your mutual fund shares for a profit.
Funds will also usually give you a choice either to receive a check for
distributions or to reinvest the earnings and get more shares.

1.11 RISK FACTORS OF MUTUAL FUNDS:
1. The Risk-Return Trade-Off:
The most important relationship to understand is the risk-return trade-off.
Higher the risk greater the returns / loss and lower the risk lesser the
returns/loss. Hence it is up to you, the investor to decide how much risk you are
willing to take. In order to do this you must first be aware of the different types
of risks involved with your investment decision.
2. Market Risk:
Sometimes prices and yields of all securities rise and fall. Broad outside
influences affecting the market in general lead to this. This is true, may it be big
corporations or smaller mid-sized companies. This is known as Market Risk. A
Systematic Investment Plan (“SIP”) that works on the concept of Rupee Cost
Averaging (“RCA”) might help mitigate this risk.
3. Credit Risk:
The debt servicing ability (may it be interest payments or repayment of
principal) of a company through its cash flows determines the Credit Risk faced
by you. This credit risk is measured by independent rating agencies like CRISIL
who rate companies and their paper. A ‘AAA’ rating is considered the safest
whereas a ‘D’ rating is considered poor credit quality. A well-diversified
portfolio might help mitigate this risk.
4. Inflation Risk:
Things you hear people talk about:
"Rs. 100 today is worth more than Rs. 100 tomorrow."
"Remember the time when a bus ride costed 50 paise?"
"Mehangai Ka Jamana Hai."
The root cause, Inflation. Inflation is the loss of purchasing power over
time. A lot of timespeople make conservative investment decisions to protect
their capital but end up with a sum of money that can buy less than what the
principal could at the time of the investment. This happens when inflation
grows faster than the return on your investment. A well-diversified portfolio
with some investment in equities might help mitigate this risk.
Page | 20
5. Interest Rate Risk:
In a free market economy interest rates are difficult if not impossible to
predict. Changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If
interest rates rise the prices of bonds fall and vice versa. Equity might be
negatively affected as well in a rising interest rate environment. A well-
diversified portfolio might help mitigate this risk.
6. Political / Government Policy Risk:
Changes in government policy and political decision can change the
investment environment. They can create a favorable environment for
investment or vice versa.
7. Liquidity Risk:
Liquidity risk arises when it becomes difficult to sell the securities
that one 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.

1.12 MUTUAL FUND COMPANIES IN INDIA:
The concept of mutual funds in India dates back to the year 1963. The era
between 1963 and 1987 marked the existence of only one mutual fund
Company in India with Rs.67bn assets under management (AUM), by the end
of its monopoly era, the Unit Trust of India (UTI). By the end of the 80s decade,
few other mutual fund companies in India took their position in mutual fund
market.
The new entries of mutual fund companies in India were SBI Mutual Fund,
Can bank Mutual Fund, Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund, Indian Bank
Mutual Fund, Bank of India Mutual Fund.
The succeeding decade showed a new horizon in Indian mutual fund
industry. By the end of 1993, the total AUM of the industry was Rs. 470.04 bn.
The private sector funds started penetrating the fund families. In the same year
the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into existence with re-registering all
mutual funds except UTI. The regulations were further given a revised shape in
1996.
Kothari Pioneer was the first private sector mutual fund company in India
which has now merged with Franklin Templeton. Just after ten years with
private sector player’s penetration, the total assets rose up to Rs. 1218.05 bn.
Today there are 33 mutual fund companies in India.
Major Mutual Fund Companies in India
• ABN AMRO Mutual Fund • Standard Chartered Mutual Fund
• Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund • Franklin Templeton India Mutual Fund
• Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund • Morgan Stanley Mutual Fund India
• HDFC Mutual Fund • Escorts Mutual Fund
• HSBC Mutual Fund • Alliance Capital Mutual Fund

Page | 22
• Chola Mutual Fund • LIC Mutual Fund
• GIC Mutual Fund
For the first time in the history of Indian mutual fund industry, Unit Trust
of India Mutual Fund has slipped from the first slot. Earlier, in May 2006, the
Prudential ICICI Mutual Fund was ranked at the number one slot in terms of
total assets.
In the very next month, the UTIMF had regained its top position as the
largest fund house in India.
Now, according to the current pegging order and the data released by
Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), the Reliance Mutual Fund, with
a January-end AUM of Rs. 39,020 crore has become the largest mutual fund in
India.
On the other hand, UTIMF, with an AUM of Rs. 37,535 crore, has gone to
second position. The Prudential ICICI MF has slipped to the third position with
an AUM of Rs. 34,746 crore.
It happened for the first time in last one year that a private sector mutual
fund house has reached to the top slot in terms of asset under management
(AUM). In the last one year to January, AUM of the Indian fund industry has
risen by 64% to Rs. 3.39 lakh crore.
According to the data released by Association of Mutual Funds in India
(AMFI), the combined average AUM of the 35 fund houses in the country
increased to Rs. 5,512.99 billion in April compared to Rs. 4,932.86 billion in
March.
Reliance MF maintained its top position as the largest fund house in the
country with Rs. 74.25 billion jump in AUM to Rs. 883.87 billion at April-end.
The second-largest fund house HDFC MF gained Rs. 59.24 billion in its
AUM at Rs. 638.80 billion. ICICI Prudential and state-run UTI MF added Rs.
46.16 billion and Rs. 57.35 billion re respectively to their assets last month.
ICICI Prudential`s AUM stood at Rs. 560.49 billion at the end of April, while
UTI MF had assets worth Rs. 544.89 billion.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A code of conduct and registration structure for mutual fund intermediaries,
which were subsequently mandated by SEBI. In addition, this year AMFI was
involved in a number of developments and enhancements to the regulatory
framework.
The most important trend in the mutual fund industry is the aggressive
expansion of the foreign owned mutual fund companies and the decline of the
companies floated by nationalized banks and smaller private sector players.
Reliance Mutual Fund, UTI Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund,
HDFC Mutual Fund and Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund are the top five mutual
fund company in India.
Reliance mutual funding is considered to be most reliable mutual funds in
India. People want to invest in this institution because they know that this
institution will never dissatisfy them at any cost. You should always keep this
into your mind that if particular mutual funding scheme is on larger scale then
next time, you might not get the same results so being a careful investor you
should take your major step diligently otherwise you will be unable to obtain
the high returns.

3.2 SCHEMES
A). EQUITY/GROWTH SCHEMES:
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the
medium to long-term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their

term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity
related instruments of companies engaged in infrastructure (Airports,
Construction, Telecommunication, Transportation) and infrastructure related

India and the secondary objective is to generate consistent returns by investing
in debt and money market securities.
Investment Strategy:
The investment focus would be guided by the growth potential and other

fluctuations.

UNIT TRUST OF INDIA MUTUAL FUND
3.3 INTRODUCION
'Unit Trust of India was created by the UTI Act passed by the Parliament in
1963. For more than two decades it remained the sole vehicle for investment in
the capital market by the Indian citizens. In mid- 1980s public sector banks
were allowed to open mutual funds. The real vibrancy and competition in the
MF industry came with the setting up of the Regulator SEBI and its laying
down the MF Regulations in 1993.UTI maintained its pre-eminent place till
2001, when a massive decline in the market indices and negative investor
sentiments after Ketan Parekh scam created doubts about the capacity of UTI to
meet its obligations to the investors. This was further compounded by two
factors; namely, its flagship and largest scheme US 64 was sold and re-
purchased not at intrinsic NAV but at artificial price and its Assured Return
Schemes had promised returns as high as 18% over a period going up to two
decades.
In order to distance Government from running a mutual fund the
ownership was transferred to four institutions; namely SBI, LIC, BOB and
PNB, each owning 25%. UTI lost its market dominance rapidly and by end of
2005,when the new share-holders actually paid the consideration money to
Government its market share had come down to close to 10%.
A new board was constituted and a new management inducted. Systematic
study of its problems role and functions was carried out with the help of a
reputed international consultant. Once again UTI has emerged as a serious
player in the industry. Some of the funds have won famous awards, including
the Best Infra Fund globally from Lipper. UTI has been able to benchmark its
employee compensation to the best in the market.
Page | 41
Besides running domestic MF Schemes UTI AMC is also a registered
portfolio manager under the SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations. This
company runs two successful funds with large international investors being
active participants. UTI has also launched a Private Equity Infrastructure Fund

CONCLUSION
Mutual Funds now represent perhaps most appropriate investment
opportunity for most investors. As financial markets become more sophisticated
and complex, investors need financial intermediary who provides the required
knowledge and professional expertise on successful investing. As the investor
always try to maximize the returns and minimize the risk. Mutual fund satisfies
these requirements by providing attractive returns with affordable risks. The
fund industry has already overtaken the banking industry, more funds being
under mutual fund management than deposited with banks. With the emergence
of tough competition in this sector mutual funds are launching a variety of
schemes which caters to the requirement of the particular class of investors.
Risk takers for getting capital appreciation should invest in growth, equity
schemes. Investors who are in need of regular income should invest in income
plans.
The stock market has been rising for over three years now. This in turn has
not only protected the money invested in funds but has also to help grow these
investments.
This has also instilled greater confidence among fund investors who are
investing more into the market through the MF route than ever before.
Reliance India mutual funds provide major benefits to a common man who
wants to make his life better than previous.
India's largest mutual fund, UTI, still controls nearly 80 per cent of the
market. Also, the mutual fund industry as a whole gets less than 2 per cent of
household savings against the 46 per cent that go into bank deposits. Some fund
managers say this only indicates the sector's potential. "If mutual funds succeed
in chipping away at bank deposits, even a triple digit growth is possible over the
next few years.
