 To know the rules and regulation of SEBI.
 To know the rules and regulation of AMC (Assets Management Company)
 To know the brokerage system of the share market
 To know the difference between share market and mutual funds.

 To know the benefits of investing in share market and mutual funds.
 To know about the services of the share market and mutual funds.

Objective and scope of the study:

The Mutual Fund Industry is fast gaining popularity in today’s
unpredictable financial scenario. It is emerging as one of the most
lucrative investment options. The primary objective of the project is
to gain detailed insight into this Industry.
I have tried to systematically and objectively look into all-important
aspects. A combination of primary and secondary data has been used.
The former, though limited, has helped us give first hand information on
company and investor sentiments. The latter has been used to
understand the theoretical aspects.

6

Strategic importance has been given to both current and past
trends and we have tried to correlate both in a manner to gain maximum
insight.
This document has been designed to serve a two-fold purpose. The
first, which is also the main objective of the project, is to reflect our
understanding of this industry. The second is to provide the reader similar
detailed knowledge
The prime objective of the research was to determine the
perception of the Indian investor towards Mutual funds and this is
demonstrated in the later part of this report.

What is a Mutual Fund?
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
appreciations realized by the scheme 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
diversified, professionally managed portfolio at a relatively low cost. The small
savings of all the investors are put together to increase the buying power and
hire a professional manager to invest and monitor the money. Anybody with an
investible 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.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
objective of the present study can be accomplished by conducting a systematic
market research. Market research is the systematic design, collection, analysis
and reporting of data and findings that are relevant to different marketing
situations facing the company. The marketing research process that will be
adopted in the present study consists of the following stages
a) Defining the problem and the research objective: The research objective
states what information is needed to solve the problem. The objective of the
research is to find out the facilities provided in mutual funds and share market
and what will be its benefits in the future.
b) Developing the research plan: Once the problem is identified, the next step
is to prepare a plan for getting the information needed for the research. The
present study will adopt the exploratory approach wherein there is a need to
gather large amount of information before making a conclusion. If required, the
descriptive and casual approaches may also be used.
c) Collection and Sources of data: Market research requires two kinds of
data, i.e., primary data and secondary data. Preparing questionnaires that will
contain both open-ended and close-ended questions may collect the primary
data. Secondary data will be collected from various journals, books and web
sites.
d) Analyze the collected information: This involves converting raw data into
useful information. It involves tabulation of data and using statistical measures
23

on them for developing frequency distributions and calculating the averages and
dispersions.
e) Report research findings: This phase will mark the culmination of the
marketing research effort. The report with the research findings is a formal
written document. The research findings and personal experience will be used
to propose recommendations to develop the market in online trading.

24

Limitations:
Though the present study aims to achieve the above-mentioned objectives in full earnest and
accuracy, it may be hampered due to certain limitations. Some the limitations of this study may be
summarized as follows:
 Getting accurate responses from the respondents.
Locating the target customers of mutual funds is very time consuming.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEME
Mutual fund schemes may be classified on the basis of its structure and its
investment objective.

BY STRUCTURE
1.

Open-end 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.

2.

Closed-end Funds

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.

28

3.

Interval Funds

Interval funds combine the features of open-ended and close-ended schemes.
They are open for sale or redemption during pre-determined intervals at NAV
related prices.

BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
1.

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 proved that returns from stocks, have outperformed most other kind
of investments held over the long term. Growth schemes are ideal for investors
having a long-term outlook seeking growth over a period of time.

2.

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.

3.

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 equities
29

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 are ideal for investors looking
for a combination of income and moderate growth.

4.

Money Market Funds

The aim of money market funds is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of
capital and moderate income. These schemes generally invest in safer shortterm 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 means to park their surplus funds for
short periods.
.

Three Common Investment Goals

Goal No. 1: Retirement
Most individuals buy mutual funds for long-term goals, especially retirement. It
is estimated that retirees will need 70 to 80 percent of their final, pre-tax income
to maintain a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. If you plan to retire at age 65,
retirement savings should last for at least 18.5 years, since the average life
expectancy for a 65-year-old is 83.5,and continues to rise. Ideally, individuals
use a

30

combination of sources to fund retirement, such as Social Security benefits,
employer-sponsored retirement plans-like 401(k) plans—and personal savings,
including Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).

Goal No. 2: Education
Many parents and grandparents use mutual funds to invest for children’s college
educations. Your time horizon is an essential consideration when investing for
education: if you start when the child is born, you have 18 years to invest.
However, if a child or grandchild is in your future, the time horizon can be
lengthened by investing now.

Goal No. 3: Emergency Reserves and Other ShortTerm Goals
Emergency reserves are assets you may need unexpectedly on short notice.
Many investors use money market funds for their reserves. Money market funds
alone, or in combination with short-term bond funds, can also be appropriate
investments for other short-term goals.

OTHER SCHEMES
1.

Tax Saving Schemes

These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of the
Indian Income Tax laws as the Government offers tax incentives for investment
in specified avenues. Investments made in Equity Linked Savings Schemes
(ELSS) and Pension Schemes are allowed as deduction u/s 88 of the Income
Tax Act, 1961. The Act also provides opportunities to investors to save capital
gains u/s 54EA and 54EB by investing in Mutual Funds.
31

2.

Special Schemes


Index Schemes
Index Funds attempt to replicate the performance of a particular
index such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE 50



Sectoral Schemes
Sectoral Funds are those that invest exclusively in a specified
sector. This could be an industry or a group of industries or various
segments such as 'A' Group shares or initial public offerings.

32

HOW TO INVEST IN MUTUAL FUND
Step one - Identify your Investment needs
Your financial goals will vary, based on your age, lifestyle, financial
independence, family commitments, and level of income and expenses
among many other factors. Therefore, the first step is to assess your needs.
You can begin by defining your investment objectives and needs, which
could be regular income, buying a home or finance a wedding or educate
your children or a combination of all these needs, the quantum of risk you
are willing to take and your cash flow requirements.

Step Two - Choose the right Mutual Fund
The important thing is to choose the right mutual fund scheme, which suits
your requirements. The offer document of the scheme tells you its objectives
and provides supplementary details like the track record of other schemes
managed by the same Fund Manager. Some factors to evaluate before
choosing a particular Mutual Fund are the track record of the performance of
the fund over the last few years in relation to the appropriate yardstick and
similar funds in the same category. Other factors could be the portfolio
allocation, the dividend yield and the degree of transparency as reflected in
the frequency and quality of their communications.

Step Three - Select the ideal mix of Schemes

33

Investing in just one Mutual Fund scheme may not meet all your investment
needs. You may consider investing in a combination of schemes to achieve
your specific goals.

Step four - Invest regularly
The best approach is to invest a fixed amount at specific intervals, say every
month. By investing a fixed sum each month, you buy fewer units when the
price is higher and more units when the price is low, thus bringing down
your average cost per unit. This is called rupee cost averaging and do
investors all over the world follow a disciplined investment strategy. You can
also avail the systematic investment plan facility offered by many open-end
funds.

Step Five- Start early
It is desirable to start investing early and stick to a regular investment plan.
If you start now, you will make more than if you wait and invest later. The
power of compounding lets you earn income on income and your money
multiplies at a compounded rate of return.

34

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual funds make saving and investing simple, accessible, and affordable.
The advantages of mutual funds include professional management,
diversification, variety, liquidity, affordability, convenience, and ease of
recordkeeping—as well as strict government regulation and full disclosure.



Diversification:
The best mutual funds design their portfolios so individual
investments will react differently to the same economic conditions.
For example, economic conditions like a rise in interest rates may
cause certain securities in a diversified portfolio to decrease in value.
Other securities in the portfolio will respond to the same economic
conditions by increasing in value. When a portfolio is balanced in this
way, the value of the overall portfolio should gradually increase over
time, even if some securities lose value.



Professional Management:
Most mutual funds pay topflight professionals to manage their
investments. These managers decide what securities the fund will buy
and sell.



Regulatory oversight:

35

Mutual funds are subject to many government regulations that protect
investors from fraud.


Liquidity:
It's easy to get your money out of a mutual fund. Write a check, make
a call, and you've got the cash.



Convenience:
You can usually buy mutual fund shares by mail, phone, or over the
Internet.



Low cost:
Mutual fund expenses are often no more than 1.5 percent of your
investment. Expenses for Index Funds are less than that, because
index funds are not actively managed. Instead, they automatically buy
stock in companies that are listed on a specific index



Transparency



Flexibility



Tax benefits

36

DRAWBACKS OF MUTUAL FUNDS


No Guarantees: No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market
declines in value, the value of mutual fund shares will go down as
well, no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer
risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell
stocks on their own. However, anyone who invests through a mutual
fund runs the risk of losing money.



Fees and commissions: All funds charge administrative fees to cover
their day-to-day expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions
or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial
planners. Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you
will pay a sales commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.



Taxes: During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell
anywhere from 20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. If
your fund makes a profit on its sales, you will pay taxes on the income
you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.



Management risk: When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on
the fund's manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's
portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you had hoped,
you might not make as much money on your investment as you
expected. Of course, if you invest in Index Funds, you forego
management risk, because these funds do not employ managers.

37

How to Read a Mutual Fund Fee Table

There are two basic types of costs associated with mutual funds. Some funds
charge shareholder fees when you purchase or redeem shares of the fund,
i.e., sales commissions. In addition, all funds have operating expenses,
which represent the costs of running the fund. A mutual fund’s fees and
expenses are required by law to be clearly disclosed to investors in a fee
table at the front of the fund’s prospectus. Mutual funds compete vigorously
to keep costs low, since the performance figures reported by the fund ,and
the total value of your mutual fund account, are provided after all fees and
expenses have been deducted. For example, the fund returns published in
newspapers, advertisements, and official fund documents already are “net”
of any fees the fund charges you. Thus, any time you consider a fund’s past
performance, your decision reflects the impact fees have had on the fund in
the past. Particularly important to your assessment of costs is the fund’s
expense ratio. The availability of this figure in all fund prospectuses allows
you to easily compare how much more or less one fund costs versus another
—an important part of making an informed investment decision.

38

Ten Tips on Buying Mutual Funds
1. Determine your financial objectives and how much
money you can afford to invest.
Make sure the fund’s objectives coincide with your own. Do not change your
objectives or exceed the amount set aside for investment without careful
consideration.
2.

Research and obtain all available information before

you invest.
Request a copy of the fund’s prospectus and read it carefully. Also look over
the SAI and the latest shareholder report from each fund you are
considering.

3.

Determine

the

amount of

all sales

charges,

management fees and Administrative expenses before you
invest.
Some funds charge for reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
distributions, which can add to your costs. See the fund’s prospectus for a
description of all fees and expenses.

39

4. Never treat the risks of investing in mutual funds
lightly.
All mutual funds involve some degree of risk. Unlike money market
accounts and certificates of deposit, mutual funds are not federally insured.

5. Exercise caution when considering investing in funds
with junk bond portfolios.
While junk bonds pay a high-rate of return, junk bond companies are more
volatile and more likely to default on bond payments. These factors can
seriously affect the fund’s performance

6. Do not invest in periodic payment plans unless you are
absolutely certain that you will hold your shares for a
long time.
If you sell or redeem early – or do not complete the plan – you may find that
a large portion of your investment has gone to pay sales charges.
7. Learn the consequences of redemptions.
Besides the sales charges for redeeming periodic payment plans before
completion, some funds may charge a redemption fee or a proportion of your
investment, known as a contingent deferred sales load.

Share Market Overview

Share market is the market for securities
where organized issuance and trading

of shares takes place. It plays an important role in channelizing capital from the
investors to the business houses which consequently leads to the availability of
funds for business expansion. Shares are certificates which represents ownership

rights of the holder in a company.

What is share?
Share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder
to be one of the owners of the company. A share is issued by a company or
can be purchased from the stock market.

Shares in the Share Market are either traded through:(a)

Stock Exchange
These are organized market places where stocks, bonds are other
equivalents are traded between the buyers and sellers where
exchange acts as a counter - party to both the participants in case of
any default.

(b)

Over-the -Counter (OTC)
These are not centralized exchanges and the trade takes place
through a network of dealers.

42

Basically, Share Market can be divided into two parts :1. Primary Market It is the market where new issues of securities are

offered to the investors.

2. Secondary Market An investor of a secondary market buys a security

from another participant of the same and not from any issuing
corporation (as in case of Primary Market).

PRIMARY MARKET
The first time that a company shares are issued to the public, it is by a process
called the initial public offering (IPO). In an IPO company offloads a certain
percentage of its totals shares to the public at a certain price. Most IPOs these
days do not have a fixed offer price instead they follow a method called the book
building process, where the offer price is placed in a hand or a range with the
highest and the lowest value (refer to the newspaper ad). The public can bid for
the shares at any price in the band specified. Once the bid come in the company
evaluates all the bids and decides on an offer price in that range. After the offer
price is fixed the company either allots its shares to the people who had applied
for its shares or returns them their money.

43

SECONDARY MARKET

Company

Broker

Stock
Exchange

Individual
Investors

Companies get themselves listed on popular stock exchanges like
BSE and NSE

SECONDARY MARKET
Once the offer price is fixed and the shares are issued to the people,
stock exchanges facilitate the trading of shares for the general public.
Once a stock is listed on an exchange, people can start trading in its
shares. In a stock exchange the existing shareholders sell their
shares to anyone who is willing to buy them at a price agreeable to
both the parties. Individuals cannot buy or sell shares in a stock
exchange directly they have to execute their transactions through
authorized members of the stock exchange who are also called stock
brokers

Why shares
Historically shares have outperformed all the other investment instruments
and given the maximum returns in the long run. In the twenty-five year
period of 1980-2005 while the other instruments have barely manage to
generate returns at a rate higher than the inflation rate(7.10%), on an average
shares have given returns of about 17% in a year and that does not even take
in account the dividend income from them. Were we to factor in the dividend
income as well, the shares would have given even higher returns during the
same period.

WHY INVESTING IN SHARE MARKET
Dividend income:
investments in shares are attractive as much for the appreciation in the share
prices as for the dividends their companies pay out.

Tax advantages:
shares appear as the best investment option if you also consider the
unbeatable tax benefits that they offer. First, the dividend income is taxfree in the hands of investors. Second, you are required to pay only a 10%
short term capital gains tax on the profits made from investments in
shares, if you book your profits within a year of making the purchase. Third,
you don't need to pay any long-term capital gains tax on the profits if you
sell the shares after holding them for a period of one year. The capital gains
tax rate is much higher for other investment instruments: a 30% short-term
capital gains tax (assuming that you fall in the 30% tax bracket) and a 10%
long-term capital gains tax

49

Easy liquidity:
shares can also be made liquid anytime from anywhere (on sharekhan.com
you can sell as here at the click of a mouse from anywhere in the world) and
the investments can be realized in just two working days .Considering the
high returns, the tax advantages and the highly liquid nature, shares are
the best investment option to create wealth.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY

In the primary market securities are issued to the public and the proceeds go
to the issuing company. Secondary market is a term used for stock exchanges,
where stocks are bought and sold after they are issued to the public.

TERMINOLOGY USED IN SHARE MARKET
1.

Stock Broker / Sub – Broker: - People like you and me cannot just go
to a stock exchange and buy and sell shares. Only the members of the
stock exchange can. These members are called stockbrokers and they
buy and sell shares on our behalf. So, if you want to start investing in
shares, you can do it only through a broker. Every stockbroker has to be
registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, which is the
stock market regulator. You can either choose a broker (who is directly
registered with SEBI) or a sub-broker (people licensed by brokers to
work under them).

2.

Demat account: - Gone are the days when shares were held as
physical certificates. Today, they are held in an electronic form in demat
accounts. Demat refers to a dematerialized account. Let's say your
portfolio of shares looks like this: 40 shares of Infosys, 25 of Wipro, 45 of
HLL and 100 of ACC. They will show in your demat account. You don't
have to possess any physical certificates showing you own these
shares. They are all held electronically in your account. Periodically, you
will get a demat statement telling you what shares you have in your
demat account.

How to get a demat account
To get a demat account, you will have to approach a Depository
Participant. A depository is a place where an investor's stocks are held
52

in electronic form. There are only two depositories in India -- the
National Securities Depository Ltd and the Central Depository
Services Ltd.
The depository has agents who are called Depository Participants. In
India, there are over a hundred DPs. Think of it like a bank. The head
office, where all the technology rests and the details of all the accounts
are held, is like the depository. The DPs are like the branches of banks
that cater to individuals.
A broker, however, is not similar to a DP. A broker is a member of the
stock exchange and he buys and sells shares for his clients and for
himself. A DP, on the other hand, gives you an account where you can
hold those shares.
To get a list of the registered DPs, visit the NSDL and CDSL Web sites.
3. Get a PAN: - The taxman demands that you get yourself a
Permanent Account Number. This is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric
number (AABPS1205E, for example) that identifies and tracks an
individual in the taxman's database. Almost every money transaction
demands the use of a PAN.

4.

Trading / Square off Transaction:Whenever a trader / investor buys or sells a security and on the same
day before the market closes, he sells or buys that particular security (in
the same quantity), the transaction is called as square off transaction or
53

a trading transaction. Shares lying in the T, TS and T are not square off
the same day.
5.

Delivery Transaction:Delivery transactions are those transactions which are not squared off at
the day end, and the investor/trader is ready to take / give the delivery of
the security.
Charges such as brokerage, service tax on brokerage, STT, stamping
charges etc. are very high on the delivery transactions.

6.

Settlement Period :Currently the settlement period is T+2. Settlement period i.e. T+2 means
one has to give the delivery of the shares sold within 2 days of the date
of the transaction. In case of purchase transaction, one will get the
delivery within 2 days of the date of transaction.

7.

Shares Category:The stock exchange has divided the shares into the categories
according to the performance of the company.
The different categories are A, B1, B2, S (BSE Indonext), T, TS, Z

8.

Auction:-

54

In case of failure of delivery of shares for sale transaction within the
stipulated time period, the BSE auction those shares as per the rules
and regulations.
9. Close Out:In case of failure of delivery of shares for purchase transaction within the
stipulated time period, the person buying the shares gets the benefit in
the form of Close Out as per the BSE’s rules and regulations.

CONCLUSION
&
SUGGESTION
77

CONCLUSION
The strategy adopted by me in completion of this project help me a lot till
now in making comparison between share market and mutual funds. From the
analysis we can say that if there is more risk there is more return and we can say
that share market is totally dependent on the risk taken by the investors in
investing in shares. And in mutual funds there is less risk as the money of
investors invested in different sectors so it can divide the risk in different
portfolio adopted by mutual funds companies.
At last I can say that money invested in this rise and fall market it is
better to invest in mutual funds for those investors who are risk adverse and for
those who are risk taker it is better for them to invest in share market.
We can also say that in share market customers is decision maker while
in mutual funds investors is totally dependent on assets management company,
investors do not have active control on money invested by him/her.
In OJT the strategy adopted by me in achieving my target helped me a
lot. This strategy helped me in knowing the customer reaction towards share
market, customer’s attitude towards share broking firms and in this I helped
how to interact with the customers which is beneficial for me in future.

78

SUGGESTIONS
After interpretation and analysis, I am giving certain suggestions to the company
which I hope may be helpful for the company.
 The company should utilize its stock more efficiently.
 The company should pay attention towards the proper and efficient
utilization of working capital.
 The company can reduce the time for purchase order. The buffer should be
maintained incase of emergency. Insurance should be covered especially fire
in case of transit journey also.
