Mutual fund: $n 0ntroduction
$ mutual fund is a form of collecti.e in.estment# 0t is a pool of money collected from .arious in.estors -hich is in.ested according to the stated in.estment o/jecti.e# The fund manager is the person -ho in.ests the money in different types of securities according to the predetermined o/jecti.es# The portfolio of a mutual fund is decided ta,ing into consideration this in.estment o/jecti.e# Mutual fund in.estors are li,e shareholders and they o-n the fund# The income earned through these in.estments and the capital appreciation realized /y the scheme is shared /y its unit holders in proportion to the num/er of units o-ned /y them# The .alue of the in.estments can go up or do-n, changing the .alue of the in.estors holding# Mutual funds are one of the /est in.estments e.er created /ecause they are .ery cost efficient and .ery easy to in.est in #

The in.estment in securities through mutual funds is spread across -ide range of industries and sectors and thus the ris, is reduced# Di.ersification reduces the ris, /ecause all stoc,s may not mo.e in the same direction at the same time# 7arious fund houses issue units to the in.estors in accordance -ith the 5uantum of money in.ested /y them# 0n.estors of mutual funds are ,no-n as unit holders# 0n 0ndia a mutual fund is re5uired to /e registered -ith 4ecurities +1change !oard of 0ndia 84+!09 -hich regulates the securities mar,et#

There are se.eral that can /e attri/uted to the gro-ing popularities and suita/ility of mutual funds as an in.estment .ehicle especially for retail in.estors#

6rofessional management:

Mutual funds pro.ide the ser.ices of e1perienced and s,illed professionals, /ac,ed /y a dedicated in.estment research team that analysis the performance and prospects of companies and selects suita/le in.estments to achie.e the o/jecti.es of the scheme#

Di.ersification:
Mutual funds in.est in a num/er of companies across a /road cross- section of industries and sectors# This di.ersification reduces the ris, /ecause seldom do all stoc,s decline at the sane time and in the same proportion# ;ou achie.e this di.ersification through a mutual fund -ith far less money than you can do on your o-n#

%on.enient administration:
0n.esting in a mutual fund reduces paper-or, and helps you a.oid many pro/lems such as /ad deli.eries, delayed payment and follo- up -ith /ro,ers and companies# Mutual funds sa.e your time and ma,e in.esting easy and con.enient#

<eturn potential:
(.er a medium to long term, mutual funds ha.e the potential to pro.ide a higher return as they in.est in a di.ersified /as,et of selected securities#

*o- costs:

Mutual funds are a relati.ely less e1pensi.e -ay to in.est compared to directly in.esting in the capital mar,ets /ecause the /enefits of scale in /ro,erage, custodial and other fees translate into lo-er costs for in.estors#

*i5uidity:
0n open ended schemes, the in.estors get the money /ac, promptly at net asset .alue related prices from the mutual fund# 0n closed end schemes, the units can /e sold on a stoc, e1change at the pre.ailing mar,et price or the in.estor can a.ail of the facility of direct repurchase at '$7 related prices /y mutual fund#

Transparency:
;ou get regular information on the .alue of your in.estment in addition to disclosure on the specific in.estments made /y your scheme, the proportion in.ested in each class of assets and the fund manager=s in.estment strategy and outloo,#

3le1i/ility:
Through features such as regular in.estment plans, regular -ithdra-al plans and di.idend rein.estment plans, you can systematically in.est or -ithdra- funds according to your needs and con.enience#

$fforda/ility:
0n.estors indi.idually may lac, sufficient funds to in.est in high-grade stoc,s# $ mutual fund /ecause of its large corpus allo-s e.en a small in.estor to ta,e the /enefit of its in.estment strategy#

%hoice of schemes:
Mutual funds offer a family of schemes to suit your .arying needs o.er a lifetime#

0mportance of Mutual 3und:

4mall in.estors face a lot of pro/lems in the share mar,et, limited resources, lac, of professional ad.ice, lac, of information etc# Mutual funds ha.e come as a much needed help to these in.estors# 0t is a special type of institutional de.ice or an in.estment .ehicle through -hich the in.estors pool their sa.ings -hich are to /e in.ested under the guidance of a team of e1perts in -ide .ariety of portfolios of corporate securities in such a -ay, so as to minimize ris,, -hile ensuring safety and steady return on in.estment# 0t forms an important part of the capital mar,et, pro.iding the /enefits of a di.ersified portfolio and e1pert fund management to a large num/er, particularly small in.estors# 'o- days, mutual fund is gaining its popularity due to the follo-ing reasons#

)ith the emphasis on increase in domestic sa.ings and impro.ement in deployment of in.estment through mar,ets, the need and scope for mutual fund operation has increased tremendously# The /asic purpose of reforms in the financial sector -as to enhance the generation of domestic Tripathy, Mutual 3und in 0ndia: $ 3inancial 4er.ice in %apital # # # >?" resources /y reducing the dependence on outside funds# This calls for a mar,et /ased institution -hich can tap the .ast potential of domestic sa.ings and chanalise them for profita/le in.estments# Mutual funds are not only /est suited for the purpose /ut also capa/le of meeting this challenge# $n ordinary in.estor -ho applies for share in a pu/lic issue of any company is not assured of any firm allotment# !ut mutual funds -ho su/scri/e to the capital issue made /y companies get firm allotment of shares# Mutual fund latter sell these shares in the same mar,et and to the 6romoters of the company at a much higher price# 2ence, mutual fund creates the in.estors confidence#

Types of Mutual 3unds:
Mutual fund schemes may /e classified on the /asis of its structure and its in.estment o/jecti.e#

!y 4tructure:
Open,end Funds: $n open-end fund is one that is a.aila/le for su/scription all through the year# These do not ha.e a fi1ed maturity# 0n.estors can con.eniently /uy and sell units at 'et $sset 7alue P'$7P" related prices# The ,ey feature of open-end schemes is li5uidity# Closed,end Funds: $ closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period -hich generally ranging from 3 to DH years# The fund is open for su/scription only during a specified period# 0n.estors can in.est in the scheme at the time of the initial pu/lic issue and thereafter they can /uy or sell the units of the scheme on the stoc, e1changes -here they are listed# 0n order to pro.ide an e1it route to the in.estors, some close-ended funds gi.e an option of selling /ac, the units to the Mutual 3und through periodic repurchase at '$7 related prices# 4+!0 <egulations stipulate that at least one of the t-o e1it routes is pro.ided to the in.estor#
0nter.al 3unds: 0nter.al funds com/ine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes# They are open for sale or redemption during pre-determined inter.als at '$7 related prices#

!y 0n.estment (/jecti.e:
Gro-th 3unds: The aim of gro-th funds is to pro.ide capital appreciation o.er the medium to long term# 4uch schemes normally in.est a majority of their corpus in e5uities# 0t has /een pro.ed that returns from stoc,s, ha.e outperformed most other ,ind of in.estments held o.er the long term# Gro-th schemes are ideal for in.estors ha.ing a long-term outloo, see,ing gro-th o.er a period of time# 0ncome 3unds: The aim of income funds is to pro.ide regular and steady income to in.estors# 4uch schemes generally in.est in fi1ed income securities such as /onds, corporate de/entures and Go.ernment securities# 0ncome 3unds are ideal for capital sta/ility and regular income# !alanced 3unds: The aim of /alanced funds is to pro.ide /oth gro-th and regular income# 4uch schemes periodically distri/ute a part of their earning and in.est /oth in e5uities and fi1ed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents# 0n a rising stoc, mar,et, the '$7 of these schemes may not normally ,eep pace, or fall e5ually -hen the mar,et falls# These are ideal for in.estors loo,ing for a com/ination of income and moderate gro-th# Money Mar,et 3unds: The aim of money mar,et funds is to pro.ide easy li5uidity, preser.ation of capital and moderate income# These schemes generally in.est in safer shortterm instruments such as treasury /ills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter/an, call money# <eturns on these schemes may fluctuate depending upon the interest rates pre.ailing in the mar,et# These are ideal for %orporate and indi.idual in.estors as a means to par, their surplus funds for short periods#

(ther 4chemes:
Ta1 4a.ing 4chemes: These schemes offer ta1 re/ates to the in.estors under specific pro.isions of the 0ndian 0ncome Ta1 la-s as the Go.ernment offers ta1 incenti.es for in.estment in specified a.enues# 0n.estments made in +5uity *in,ed 4a.ings 4chemes +*44" and 6ension 4chemes are allo-ed as deduction uOs >> of the 0ncome Ta1 $ct, DRBD# The $ct also pro.ides opportunities to in.estors to sa.e capital gains uOs HG+$ and HG+! /y in.esting in Mutual 3unds# 0ndustry 4pecific 4chemes :0ndustry 4pecific 4chemes in.est only in the industries specified in the offer document# The in.estment of these funds is limited to specific industries li,e 0nfotech, 3M%G, and 6harmaceuticals etc# 0nde1 4chemes: 0nde1 3unds attempt to replicate the performance of a particular inde1 such as the !4+ 4ense1 or the '4+ HA 4ectoral 4chemes: 4ectoral 3unds are those, -hich in.est, e1clusi.ely in a specified sector# This could /e an industry or a group of industries or .arious segments such as L$L Group shares or initial pu/lic offerings#

0n.esting in mutual funds, as -ith any security, does not come -ithout ris,# (ne of the most /asic economic principles is that ris, and re-ard are directly correlated# 0n other -ords, the greater the potential ris, the greater the potential return# The types of ris, commonly associated -ith mutual funds are:

Mar,et ris,:
Mar,et ris, relates to the mar,et .alue of a security in the future# Mar,et prices fluctuate and are suscepti/le to economic and financial trends, supply and demand, and many other factors that cannot /e precisely predicted or controlled#

6olitical ris,:
%hanges in the ta1 la-s, trade regulations, administrated prices, etc are some of the many political factors that create mar,et ris,# $lthough collecti.ely, as citizens, -e ha.e indirect control through the po-er of our .ote indi.idually, as in.estors, -e ha.e .irtually no control#

0nflation ris,:

0nterest rate ris, relates to futures changes in interest rates# 3or instance, if an in.estor in.ests in a long F term de/t mutual fund scheme and interest rates increase, the '$7 of the scheme -ill fall /ecause the scheme -ill /e end up holding de/t offering lo-er interest rates#

!usiness ris,:
!usiness ris, is the uncertainty concerning the future e1istence, sta/ility, and profita/ility of the issuer of the security# !usiness ris, is inherent in all /usiness .entures# The future financial sta/ility of a company cannot /e predicted or guaranteed, nor can the price of its securities# $d.erse changes in /usiness circumstances -ill reduce the mar,et price of the company=s e5uity resulting in proportionate fall in the '$7 of the mutual fund scheme, -hich has in.ested in the e5uity of such a company#

+conomic ris,:
+conomic ris, in.ol.es uncertainty in the economy, -hich, in turn, can ha.e an ad.erse effect on a company=s /usiness# 3or instance, if monsoons fail in a year, e5uity stoc,s of agriculture F /ased companies -ill fall and '$7=s of mutual funds, -hich ha.e in.ested in such stoc,s, -ill fall proportionately#

T$X !+'+30T4:The ta1man has o.er the years, /een more or less ,ind to mutual funds, -ith la-s .arying from time to time@ the o.erall o/jecti.e has /een to encourage the gro-th of the mutual funds industry# %urrently, a .ariety of ta1 la-s apply to mutual funds, -hich are /roadly listed /elo-:

%apital gains:
:nits of mutual fund schemes held for a period more than DE months are treated as long term capital assets# 0n such cases, the unit holder has the option to pay capital gains ta1 at either EAK -ith inde1ation" or DAK -ithout inde1ation#

Ta1 deducted at source:
3or any income credited or paid /y a fund, no ta1 is deducted or -ithheld at source# The rele.ant sections in the income ta1 act go.erning this pro.ision are section DRG& and DRB$#

)ealth ta1:
Mutual fund units are not currently treated as assets under section E of the -ealth ta1 act and are therefore not lia/le to ta1#

0ncome from units:
$ny income recei.ed from units of the schemes of the mutual fund specified under section E3 D" is e1empt under section DA 33" of the act# )hile section DA E3D" e1empts income of specified mutual funds from ta1 -hich currently includes all mutual funds operating in 0ndia", section DA 33" e1empts income from funds in the hands of the unit holder# 2o-e.er, this does not mean that there is no ta1 at all on income distri/utions /y mutual fund#

0ncome distri/ution ta1:
$s per pre.ailing ta1 la-s, income distri/uted /y schemes other than open-end e5uity schemes is su/ject to ta1 at EAK plus surcharge of DAK"# 3or this purpose, e5uity schemes ha.e /een defined to /e those schemes that ha.e more than HAK of their assets in the form of e5uity# (pen-end e5uity schemes ha.e /een left out of the pur.ie- of this distri/ution ta1 for a period of three years /eginning from $pril DRRR#

"ifferent Modes of Receivin+ the %ncome $arned From Mutual Fund %nvestments
Mutual funds offer three methods of recei.ing income:
Gro-th plan:
0n this plan, di.idend is neither declared or paid out to the in.estor /ut is /uilt into the .alue of the '$7# 0n other -ords, the '$7 increases o.er time due to such incomes and the in.estor realizes only the capital appreciation on redemption of his in.estment#

0ncome funds:
0n this plan, di.idend are paid out=s to the in.estor# 0n other -ords, the '$7 only reflects the capital appreciation or depreciation in mar,et price of the underlying portfolio#

Di.idend re-in.estment plan:
0n this case, di.idend is declared /ut not paid out to the in.estor, instead, it is rein.ested /ac, into the scheme at the then pre.ailing '$7# 0n other -ords, the in.estor is gi.en additional units and not cash as di.idend#

'et asset .alue '$7"
The net asset .alue of the fund is the cumulati.e mar,et .alue of the asset fund net of its lia/ilities# 0n other -ords, if the fund is dissol.ed or li5uidated, /y selling off all the assets in the fund, this is the amount that the shareholders -ould collecti.ely o-n# This gi.es ride to the concept of net asset .alue per unit, -hich is the .alue, represented /y the o-nership of one unit in the fund# 0t is calculated simply /y di.iding the net asset .alue of the fund /y the num/er of units# 2o-e.er, most people refer loosely to the '$7 per unit as '$7, ignoring the Tper unitU# )e also a/ide /y the same con.ention#

CALC#LA %O& OF &A.

The most important part of the calculation is the .aluation of the assets o-ned /y the fund# (nce its is calculated, the '$7 is simply the net .alue of assets di.ided /y the num/er of units outstanding# The detailed methodology for the calculation of the asset .alue is gi.en /elo-#

$sset .alue is e5ual to

4um of mar,et .alue of sharesOde/entures Vli5uid assetsOcash held, if any Vdi.idendOinterest accrued $mount due on unpaid assets +1penses accrued /ut not paid

Details on the a/o.e items:

3or li5uid sharesOde/entures, .aluation is done on the /asis of the last or closing mar,et price on the principal e1change -here the security is traded# 3or illi5uid and unlisted andOor thinly traded sharesOde/entures, the .alue has to /e estimated# 3or shares, this could /e the /oo, .alue per share or an estimated mar,et price# 0f suita/le /enchmar,s are a.aila/le# 3ore de/entures and /onds, .alue is estimated on the /asis of yields of compara/le li5uid securities after adjusting for illi5uidity# The .alue of fi1ed interest /earing securities mo.es in a direction opposite to interest rate changes .aluation of de/entures and /onds is a /ig pro/lem since most of them are unlisted and thinly traded# This gi.es considera/le lee-ay to the $M%=s on .aluation and some of the $M%=s are /elie.ed to ta,e ad.antage of this and adopt fle1i/le .aluation policies depending on the situation# 0nterest is paya/le on de/enturesO/onds on periodic /asis say e.ery B months# !ut, -ith e.ery passing day, interest is said to /e accrued, at the daily interest rate, -hich is calculated /y di.iding the periodic interest payment -ith the num/er of days in each period#

Thus, accrued interest on a particular day is e5ual to the daily interest rate multiplied /y the num/er of days since the last interest payment date# :sually, di.idends are proposed at the time of annual general meeting and /ecome due on the record date# There is a gap /et-een the dates on -hich it /ecomes due and the actual payment date# 0n the immediate period, it is deemed to /e T$ccruedU# +1penses including management fees, custody charges etc# $re calculated on daily /asis#
