There are a lot of investment avenues available today in the financial market for an investor
with an investable surplus. He can invest in Bank Deposits, Corporate Debentures, and Bonds
where there is low risk but low return. He may invest in Mutual of companies where the risk
is high and the returns are also proportionately high. The recent trends in the Mutual Market
have shown that an average retail investor always lost with periodic bearish tends. People
began opting for portfolio managers with expertise in Mutual markets who would invest on
their behalf. Thus we had wealth management services provided by many institutions.
However they proved too costly for a small investor. These investors have found a good
shelter with the mutual funds.
Like most developed and developing countries the mutual fund cult has been catching on in
India. The reasons for this interesting occurrence are:

ABOUT PROJECT
MUTUAL FUND
Amutual fund is nothing more than a collection of Mutuals and/or bonds. You can think of a
mutual fund as a company that brings together a group of people and invests their money in
Mutuals, bonds, and other securities. Each investor owns shares, which represent a portion of
the holdings of the fund.
16
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
17/115
You can make money from a mutual fund in three ways:
1) Income is earned from dividends on Mutuals 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.
2) If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund have a capital gain. Most
funds also pass on these gains to investors in a distribution.
3) 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.
The competition among funds has led to the launch of newer products, tailor-made to suit the
requirements of investors. Mutual funds now offer products for the entire range of needs of
investors. The encouraging response to index funds and sector funds shows the growing
maturity among investors. Open-end funds, which provide liquidity to investors at daily NAV
related prices, are growing in popularity. The funds have be en adopting technology to
provide good service to investors and with the proposed introduction of electronic funds

transfer and thegrowing trend towards E-Commerce; the efficiency of service will increase
even further.
In the coming years mutual funds as saving intermediaries will play a greater role in
bringing the gap between investors and issuers, especially in the area of equity funds ?At
present these funds represents 13% of BSE market capitalization. This is expected to go up
with increasing flows into financial savings, especially the mutual fund with the
growth and stability in the capital market flows into equity funds are expected to go up.
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 then invested in capital market
instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these
investments and the capital appreciation realized is 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
basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
Mutual funds, also referred to as investment companies, offer an alternative investment
choice for individuals with a long-term horizon. The way they operate is that individual
investor money are pooled and invested in many different companies. Assets are
professionally managed to meet various investment objectives. They issue and sell shares to
share holders and also redeem them (buy them back) upon request. Prices of shares are set
daily at the close of business, based on the value of all investments in the mutual funds
portfolio. Their major advantages are diversification and professional management, which are
not readily available to small investors outside the mutual fund arena. Money market mutual

funds are short-term funds. They invest in short-term cash and cash equivalent instruments,
such as Treasurybills,certificates of deposit, and short-term notes. Mutual funds may own
Mutual and bonds of many different companies.
A mutual fund is the ideal investment vehicle for todays complex and modern financial
scenario. Markets for equity shares, bonds and other fixed income instruments, real estate,
derivatives and other assets have become mature and information driven. Price changes in
these assets are driven by global events occurring in faraway places. A typical individual is
unlikely to have the knowledge, skills, inclination and time to keep track of events,
understand their implications and act speedily. An individual also finds it difficult to keep
track of ownership of his assets, investments, brokerage dues and bank transactions etc.

History of mutual
fund
In 1924 three Boston securities executives pooled their money together to create the first
mutual fund. The idea of pooling money together for investing purposes started in Europe in
the mid-1800s. The first pooled fund in the U.S was created in 1893 for the faculty and staff

of Harvard University on March 21st, 1924 the first official mutual fund was born. It was
called the Massachusetts Investors Trust.
However in India UTI was the first to introduce mutual funds in the Indian markets and it
commenced its operations from July 1964, Government allowed public sector banks and
institutions to set up mutual funds.
In the year 1992, Securities and exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act was passed. The
objectives of SEBI are to protect the interest of investors in securities and to promote the
development of and to regulate the securities market.
As far as mutual funds are concerned, SEBI formulates policies and regulates the mutual
funds to protect the interest of the investors. SEBI notified regulations for the mutual funds
in1993. Thereafter, mutual funds sponsored by private sector entities were allowed to enter
the capital market. The regulations were fully revised in 1996 and have been amended
thereafter from time to time. SEBI has also issued guidelines to the mutual funds from time to
time to protect the interests of investors.
All mutual funds whether promoted by public sector or private sector entities including those
promoted by foreign entities are governed by the same set of Regulations. There is no
distinction in regulatory requirements for these mutual funds and all are subject to monitoring
and inspections by SEBI. The risks associated with the schemes launched by the mutual funds
sponsored by these entities are of similar type. It may be mentioned here that Unit Trust of
India (UTI) is not registered with SEBI as a mutual fund (as on January15, 2002. The end of
millennium marks 36 years of existence of mutual funds in our country. The ride through

these 36 years is not been smooth. Investor opinion is still divided. While some are for mutual
funds others are against it.
MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES
Mutual funds offer a variety of schemes to investor so as to provide steady income or growth
or both. They differ according to the investment policies. The funds like individual investor
have different goals. Of the investor who will first ascertain his investment objectives,
thinking that the units of a fund have an investment goal paralleling his objectives
FUND MUTUAL BASICS:
As you probably know,mutual funds have become extremely popular over the last 20years.
What was once just another obscure financial instrument is now a part of our daily lives.
In fact, too many people, investing means buying mutual funds. After all, it's common
knowledge that investing in mutual funds is (or at least should be) better than simply letting
your cash waste away in a savings account, but, for most people, that's where the
understanding of funds ends. It doesn't help those mutual fund sales people speak a strange
language that, sounding sort of like English, is interspersed with jargon like MER, NAVPS,
load/no-load, etc.
Originally mutual funds were heralded as a way for the little guy to get a piece of the market.
Instead of spending all your free time buried in the financial pages of the investment Journal,
all you have to do is buy a mutual fund and you'd be set on your way to financial freedom. As
23

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance

you might have guessed, it's not that easy. Mutual funds are an excellent idea in theory, but,
in reality, they haven't always delivered. Not all mutual funds are created equal, and investing
in mutuals isn't as easy as throwing your money at the first salesperson who solicits your
business.
ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUND
1-Professional Management- The primary advantage of funds (at least theoretically) is
the professional management of your money. Investors purchase funds because they do not
have the time or the expertise to manage their own portfolio. A mutual fund is a relatively
inexpensive way for a small investor to get a full-time manager to make and monitor
investments.
24
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
25/115
2-Diversification- By owning shares in a mutual fund instead of owning individual
Mutual
Or bonds, your risk is spread out. The idea behind diversification is to invest in a large
number of assets so that a loss in any particular investment is minimized by gains in others. In
other words, the more Mutuals and bonds you own, the less any one of them can hurt you
(think about Enron). Large mutual funds typically own hundreds of different Mutuals in many
different industries. It wouldn't be possible for an investor to build this kind of a portfolio
with a small amount of money.
3-Economies of Scale- Because a mutual fund buys and sells large amounts of securities
at a time, its transaction costs are lower than you as an individual would pay.
4-Liquidity - Just like an individual Mutual, a mutual fund allows you to request that your
shares be converted into cash.
5-Simplicity- Buying a mutual fund is easy.
DISADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUND
1-Professional Management- Did you notice how we qualified the advantage of
professional management with the word "theoretically"? Many investors debate over whether
or not the so-called professionals are any better than you or I at picking Mutuals.
25
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
26/115
Management is by no means infallible, and, even if the fund loses money, the manager still
takes his/her cut. .
2-Costs- Mutual funds don't exist solely to make your life easier--all funds are in it for a
Profit. Themutual fund industry is masterful at burying costs under layers of jargon .Because
funds have small holdings in so many different companies, high returns from a few
Investments often don't make much difference on the overall return. Dilution is also the result
of a successful fund getting too big. When money pours into funds that have had strong
Success, the manager often has trouble finding a good investment for all the new money
3-Taxes- When making decisions about your money, fund managers don't consider your
personal tax situation. For example, when a fund manager sells a security, a capital-gain tax is
triggered, which affects how profitable the individual is from the sale. It might have been
more advantageous for the individual to defer the capital gains liability
RISKS INVOLVED IN MUTUAL FUND
26
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
27/115
In short, how stable is the company or entity to which you lend your money when you invest?
How certain are you that it will be able to pay the interest you are promised, or repay your
principal when the investment matures?
Inflation risk
Changing interest rates affect both equities and bonds in many ways. Investors are
reminded that predicting which way rates will go is rarely successful. A diversified
portfolio can help in offsetting these changes.
Effect of loss of key professional and inability to adopt
An industries key asset is often the personnel who run the business i.e. intellectual properties
of the key employees of the respective companies. Given the ever-changing complexion of
few industries and the high obsolescence levels, availability of qualified, trained and
motivated personnel is very critical for the success of industries in few sectors. It is, therefore,
necessary to attract key personnel and also to retain them to meet the changing environment
and challengesall investments involve some form of risk, which should be evaluated them
potential Rewards when an investment is selected.
Managing risk
27
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
28/115
At times the prices or yields of all the securities in a particular market rise or fall due to broad
outside influences. When this happens, the Mutual prices of an out standing, highly profitable
company and a fledgling corporation may be affected.
This change in price is due to market risk.
Interest rate risk
Sometimes referred to as loss of purchasing power. Whenever inflation sprints forward
faster than the earnings on your investment, you run the risk that you will actually be able to
buy less, not more. Inflation risk also occurs when prices rise faster than your returns.
Credit risk
The sector offers. Failure or inability to attract/retain such qualified key personnel may
impact the prospects of the companies in the particular sector in which the fund invests.
Exchange risks
A number of companies generate revenues in foreign currencies and may have investments or
expenses also denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates may, therefore,
have a positive or negative impact on companies which in turn would have an effect on the
investment of the fund.
Investment risks

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
29/115
The sectoral fund schemes, investments will be predominantly in equities of select companies
in the particular sectors. Accordingly, the NAV of the schemes are linked to the equity
performance of such companies and may be more volatile than a more diversified portfolio of
equities.
Changes in government policy
Changes in Government policy especially in regard to the tax benefits may impact the
business prospects of the companies leading to an impact on the investments made by
the fund.

Mutual Funds: Different Types of Funds
No matter what type of investor you are there is bound to be a mutual fund that fits your style.
According to the last count there are over 10,000 mutual funds in North America! That means
there are more mutual funds than Mutuals. It's important to understand that each mutual fund
has different risks and rewards. In general, the higher the potential return, the higher the risk
of loss. Although some funds are less risky than others, all funds have some level of risk--it's
never possible to diversify away all risk. This is a fact for all investments.
Each fund has a predetermined investment objective that tailors the fund's assets, regions
of investments, and investment strategies. At the fundamental level, there are three
varieties: of mutual funds
1) Equity funds (Mutual)
2)Fixed-income funds (bonds)
3) Money market funds
All mutual funds are variations of these three asset classes. For example, while equity
Funds that invest in fast-growing companies are known as growth funds, equity funds that
Invest only in companies of the same sector or region is known asspecialty funds. Lets go
32
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
33/115
over the many different flavors of funds. We'll start with the safest and then Work through to
the more risky.
Money Market Funds
The money market consists of short-term debt instruments, mostly T-bills. This is a safe Lace
to park your money. You won't get great returns, but you won't have to worry about losing
your principal. A typical return is twice the amount you would earn in a regular
checking/savings account and a little less than the average certificate of deposit (CD).We've
got a whole tutorial on the money market if you'd like to learn more about it.
Bond/Income Funds
Income funds are named appropriately: their purpose is to provide current income on a steady
basis. When referring to mutual funds, the terms "fixed-income," "bond," and" income" are
synonymous. These terms denote funds that invest primarily in government and corporate
debt. While fund holdings may appreciate in value, the primary objective of these funds is to
provide a steady cash flow to investors. As such, the audience for these funds consists of
conservative investors and retirees.
33
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
34/115
Bond funds are likely to pay higher returns than certificates of deposit and money market
Investments, but bond funds aren't without risk. Because there are many different types of
Bonds, bond funds can vary dramatically depending on where they invest. For example, a
fund specializing in high-yieldjunk bonds is much more risky than a fund that invests in
government securities; also, nearly all bond funds are subject to interest rate risk, which
means that if rates go up the value of the fund goes down.
Balanced Funds
The objective of these funds is to provide a "balanced" mixture of safety, income, and capital
appreciation. The strategy of balanced funds is to invest in a combination of fixed-income and
equities. A typical balanced fund might have a weighting of 60% equity and40% fixed-
income. The weighting might also be restricted to a specified maximum or minimum for each
asset class.
A similar type of fund is known as an asset allocation fund. Objectives are similar to those of
a balanced fund, but these kinds of funds typically do not have to hold a specified percentage
of any asset class. The portfolio manager is therefore given freedom to switch the ratio of
asset classes as the economy moves through thebusiness cycle.
Equity Funds
Funds that invest in Mutual represent the largest category of mutual funds. Generally, the
investment objective of this class of funds is long-term capital growth with some income.
34
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
35/115
There are, however, many different types of equity funds because there are many different
types of equities. A great way to understand the universe of equity funds is to use a style box,
an example of which is below.
The idea is to classify funds based on both the size of the companies invested in and the
investment style of the manager. The term "value" refers to a style of investing that looks for
high quality companies that are out of favor with the market. These companies are
characterized by low P/E ratios, price-to-book ratios, and high dividend yields, etc.
The opposite of value is growth, which refers to companies that have had (and are expected to
continue to have) strong growth in earnings, sales, and cash flow, etc. A compromise between
value and growth is "blend," which simply refers to companies that are neither value nor
growth Mutuals and so are classified as being somewhere in the middle.
For example, a mutual fund that invests in large-cap companies who are in strong
financial shape but have recently seen their share price fall would be placed in the
upper left quadrant of the style box (large and value). The opposite of this would be a
fund that invests in startup technology companies with excellent growth prospects.
Such a mutual would reside in the bottom right quadrant
Global/International Funds
An international fund (or foreign fund) invests only outside your home country.
Global funds invest anywhere around the world, including your home country.
It's tough to classify these funds as either riskier or safer. On the one hand they tend to be
more volatile and have unique country and/or political risks. But, on the flip side, they can, as
35
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
36/115
part of a well-balanced portfolio, actually reduce risk by increasing diversification. Although
the world's economies are becoming more inter-related, it is Likely that another economy
somewhere is outperforming the economy of your home Country.
Index Funds
The last but certainly not the least important are index funds. This type of mutual fund
replicates the performance of a broad market index such as the sensex and nifty. An investor
in an index fund figures that most managers can't beat the market. An index fund merely
replicates the market return and benefits investors in the form of low fees.

COSTS INVOLVED IN MUTUAL FUND
Mutual Funds: Costs
Costs are the biggest problem with mutual funds. These costs eat into your return, and they
are the main reason why the majority of funds end up with sub-par performance. Whats even
more disturbing is the way the fund industry hides costs through a layer of financial
complexity and jargon. Some critics of the industry say that mutual fund Companies get away
with the fees they charge only because the average investor does not understand what he/she
is paying for.
37
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
38/115
Fees can be broken down into two categories:
1. Ongoing yearly fees to keep you invested in the fund.
2. Transaction fees paid when you buy or sell shares in a fund (loads)
The Expense Ratio
The ongoing expenses of a mutual fund are represented by the expense ratio. This
is sometimes also referred to as themanagement expense ratio (MER). The expense ratio is
composed of the following:
The cost of hiring the fund manager(s) - Also known as the management fee,
This cost is between 0.5% and 1.0% of assets on average. While it sounds small,
This fee ensures that mutual fund managers remain in the countrys top echelon of
Earners. Think about it for aSecond: 1% of 250 million (a small mutual fund) is
2.5 million--fund managers are definitely not going hungry! Its true that paying
Managers is a necessary fee, but dont think that a high fee assures superior
Performance.
Administrative costs
These include necessities such as postage, record keeping, customer service, cappuccino
machines, etc. Some funds are excellent at minimizing these costs while others (the ones with
the cappuccino machines in the office) are not. On the whole, expense ratios range from as

low as 0.2% (usually for index funds) to as high as 2.0%. The average equity mutual fund
charges around 1.3%-1.5%. Youll generally pay more for specialty or international funds,
which require more expertise from manager.

Buying and Selling

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
40/115
(You can buy somemutual funds no-load) by contacting the fund companies directly. Other
funds are sold through brokers, banks financial planners, or insurance agents. If you buy
through a third party there is a good chance theyll hit you with a sales charge (load). That
being said, more and more funds can be purchased through no-transaction fee programs that
offer funds of many companies. Sometimes referred to as a "fund supermarket," this service
lets you consolidate your holdings and record keeping, and it still allows you to buy funds
without sales charges from many different companies.
Popular examples are Schwabs OneSource, Vanguards Fund Access, and Fidelitys
Funds Network. Many large brokerages have similar offerings. Selling a fund is as easy as
purchasing one. All mutual funds will redeem (buy back) your shares on any business
day. In the United States companies must send you the payment within seven days.
THE VALUES OF YOUR FUND
40
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
41/115
Net asset value (NAV) , which is a fund's assets minus liabilities, is the value of a mutual
fund. NAV per share is the value of one share in the mutual fund, and it is the number that is
quoted in newspapers. You can basically just think of NAV per share as the price of a mutual
fund. It fluctuates everyday as fund holdings and shares outstanding change.
When you buy shares, you pay the current NAV per share plus any sales front-end load.
When you sell your shares, the fund will pay you NAV less any back-end load .Moses gave to
his follow eternities 10 commandments that were to be followed till: The world of
investments too has several ground rules meant for investors who are novices in their own
right and wish to enter the myriad world of investments. These come in handy for there is
every possibility of losing what one has if due care is not taken.
1. Assess yourself: Self-assessment of ones needs; expectations and risk profile is of prime
importance failing which; one will make more mistakes in putting money in right places than
otherwise. One should identify the degree of risk bearing capacityone has and also clearly
state the expectations from the investments. Irrational expectations will only bring pain.
41
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
42/115
2. Try to understand where the money is going: It is important to identify the nature of
investment and to know if one is compatible with the investment. One can lose substantially
if one picks the wrong kind of mutual fund. In order to avoid any confusion it is better to go
through the literature such as offer document and fact sheets that mutual fund companies
provide on their funds.
3. One first has to decide what he wants the money forand it is this investment goal
that should be the guiding light for all investments done. It is thus important to know the risks
associated with the fund and align it with the quantum of risk one is willing to take. One
should take a look at the portfolio of the funds for the purpose. Excessive exposure to any
specific sector should be avoided, as it will only add to the risk of the entire portfolio .Mutual
funds invest with a certain ideology such as the "Value Principle" or "Growth Philosophy".
Both have their share of critics but both philosophies work for investors of different kinds.
Identifying the proposed investment philosophy of the fund will give an insight into the kind
of risks that it shall be taking in future.
4. A common investor is limited in the degree of risk that . It is thus of key
importance that there is thought given to the process of investment and to the time horizon of
the intended investment. One should abstain from speculating which in other words would
mean getting out of one fund and investing in another with the intention of making quick
money. One would do well to remember that nobody can perfectly time the market so staying
invested is the best option unless there are compelling reasons to exit.
42
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
43/115
5. This old age adage is of utmost importance. No matter what the risk profile of a
person is, it is always advisable to diversify the risks associated. So putting ones money in
different asset classes is generally the best option as it averages the risks in each category.
Thus, even investors of equity should be judicious and invest some portion of the investment
in debt. Diversification even in any particular asset class (such as equity, debt) is good. Not
all fund managers have the same acumen of fund management and with identification of the
best man being a tough task; it is good to place money in the hands of several fund managers.
This might reduce the maximum return possible, but will also reduce the risks.
6. Investing should be a habit and not an exercise undertaken at oneswishes, if
one has to really benefit from them. As we said earlier, since it is extremely difficult to know
when to enter or exit the market, it is important to beat the market by being systematic. The
basic philosophy of Rupee cost averaging would suggest that if one invests regularly through
the ups and downs .of the market, he would stand a better chance of generating more returns
than the market for the entire duration. The SIP s (Systematic Investment Plans) offered by all
funds helps in being systematic. All that one needs to do is to give post-dated cheques to the
fundand thereafter one will not be harried later. The Automatic investment Plans offered by
some funds goes a step further, as the amount can be directly/electronically transferred from
the account of the investment
43
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
44/115
7. Do your homework:
It is important for all investors to research the avenues available to them irrespective of the
investor category they belong to. This is important because an informed investor is in a better
decision to make right decisions. Having identified the risks associated with the investment is
important and so one should try to know all aspects associated with it. Asking the
intermediaries is one of the ways to take care of the problem.
8. Find the right funds
Finding funds that do not charge many fees is of importance, as the fee charged ultimately
goes from the pocket of the investor. This is even more important for debt funds as the returns
from these funds are not much. Funds that charge more will reduce the yield to the investor.
Finding the right funds is important and one should also use these funds for tax efficiency.
Investors of equity should keep in mind that all dividends are currently tax-free in India and
so their tax liabilities can be reduced if the dividend payout option is used. Investors of debt
will be charged a tax on dividend distribution and so can easily avoid the payout options.
9.Keep track of your investments
Finding the right fund is important but even more important is to keep track of the way they
are performing in the market. If the market is beginning to enter a bearish phase, then
44
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
45/115
investors of equity too will benefit by switching to debt funds as thelosses can be minimized.
One can always switch back to equity if the equity market starts to show some buoyancy.
10.Know when to sell your mutual funds:
Knowing when to exit a fund too is of utmost importance. One should book profits
immediately when enough has been earned i.e. the initial expectation from the fund has been
met with. Other factors like non-performance, hike in fee charged and change in any basic
attribute of the fund etc. are some of the reasons for to exit. For more on it, read " When to
say goodbye to your mutual fund .
Investments in mutual funds too are not risk-free and so investments warrant some caution
and careful attention of the investor. Investing in mutual funds can be a dicey business for
people who do not remember to follow these rules diligently, as people are likely to commit
mistakes by being ignorant or adventurous enough to take risks more than what they can
absorb. This is the reason why people would do well to remember these rules before they set
out to invest their hard-earned money.

DEVELOPMENT OF MUTUAL FUND IN INDIA
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of unit trust of
India at the initiative of government of India and reserve bank of India. The history
Of mutual fund
In India can be divided into four phases:
FIRST PHASE : 1964 87
SECOND PHASE: 1987-1993 (ENTRY OF PUBLIC SECTOR FUNDS)
THIRD PHASE : 1993 2003 (ENTRY OF PRIVATE SECTOR FUNDS)
FOURTH PHASE: SINCE FEBURARY 2003
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 of India. The history of mutual
funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases
First Phase 1964-87 Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of
Parliament. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory
and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the
47
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
48/115
RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and
administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme
1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6, 700 crores of assets under management.
Second Phase 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds) 1987 marked the entry of non-
UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation
of India (LIC) and General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the
first non- UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987 followed by Canara bank Mutual Fund
(Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89),
Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC established its mutual
fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its mutual fund in December 1990. At the end of
1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47, 004 crores.
Third Phase 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds) with the entry of private sector
funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian
investors a wider choice of fund 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
48

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
49/115
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.
Fourth Phase since February 2003 In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit
Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified
Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29, 835 crores as
at the end of January 2003, representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured return
and certain other schemes. The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning
under an administrator and under the rules framed by Government of India and does not come
under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations. The second is the UTI Mutual Fund,
sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI and functions under the
Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March
2000 more than Rs.76, 000 crores of assets under management and with the setting up of a
UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent
mergers taking place among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has
entered its current phase of consolidation and growth.

at a hefty Rs 3, 23,597 crore, with a total of2.79 crore depositor folios, of which 2.31 crore
depositor folios had invested inequity schemes. The share of direct investors, on the other
hand, has been dropping, stating that more retail investors see mutual funds as a preferred
route for investing in the markets.
Existing and new market players as well as Exchange Traded Funds are likely to hit the
market in the coming months with a flurry of new Mutual Funds schemes. An action packed
first quarter of 2007 was forecasted to witness at Least 20 new schemes which are waiting on

Scope of Mutual Funds has grown enormously over the years. In the first age of mutual
funds, when the investment management companies started to offer mutual funds, choices
were few. Even though people invested their money in mutual funds as these funds offered
them diversified investment option for the first time. By investing in these funds they were
able to diversify their investment in common Mutuals, preferred Mutuals, bonds and other
financial securities. At the same time they also enjoyed the advantage of liquidity. With
Mutual Funds, they got the scope of easy access to their invested funds on requirement.
But, in todays world, Scope of Mutual Funds has become so wide, that people sometimes
take long time to decide the mutual fund type, they are going to invest in. Several Investment
Management Companies have emerged over the years, who offer various types of Mutual
Funds, Each type carrying unique characteristics and different beneficial features.

Importance of the
study
Mutual funds offer inexperienced and experienced investors---who may not have a lot
of money to invest---the ability to invest in more than just one investment tool without
having to monitor or manage that investment personally and at a reduced risk.
77

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
78/115
Every person who have no more knowledge about investment and he want to invest
anywhere so he can invest easily in mutual fund.
One of the mode to invest mutual fund thats SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is less
risky to invest and every investor want to invest in less price.
Mutual fund is totally depend upon the NAV value (Net Assets Value)
By purchasing a combination of Mutuals, bonds and other securities--rather than just
one single Mutual purchase--their risk is spread out over many fields and companies,
instead of just one.
Purchasing into a mutual fund automatically provides the investor with an
experienced investment manager to oversee their investment. This is because the
mutual fund is composed of different investment securities and requires a competent
professional to oversee it from the onset.
It is one of the easiest ways of investing your saving money

MUTUAL FUND ADVISORS SUGGESTION ABOUT INVESTMENT
INTERPRETATION:
Mutual fund advisor will suggest the investors to invest in mutual fund investment more
because it is les risky than any investment. In mutual fund the investor can invest in sip
(systematic investment plan) which is depend upon NAV (net asset value) which is less risky
and whenever investors want to close that scheme they can. And it is profitable because its
profit is based on average basis.

REASONS FOR CHOOSING ABOVE
INTERPRETATION:
After analysis we have got that lots of investors want to invest just for security purpose.
because most of the investors want to secure or their money, so for holding the money they
want to invest in somewhere so that they can safe their money for future .and a persons who
have no knowledge about security market, they can also be invest in mutual funds.

INVESTORS WHO KNOW ABOUT THE MUTUAL FUND SERVICES
PROVIDED BY RELIANCE
INTERPRETATION:
After analysis we have known that most of the investors dont know about the mutual fund
services which has been provided by Reliance just because of publicity, Reliance doesnt
show that it provides mutual fund services along with other services such as: pan card
services, d.p. services, share trading services, IPOs services etc. thats why most of the

-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
91/115
We all know that most of the investors or persons are interested to invest in public co. or
government co. in which there is less chance to drop out the invested money while on the
other hand less of the persons are not interested to invest in private sector because there is
more risk than public sectors.
Same as we can see in the above chart that most of the investors want to invest in reliance co.
because investors has made the mind set that we will get always theprofit in investing over
there while only small investors who invest very small amount in security invest in private co.
such as: hdfc , icici. Other.
WHY THE CLIENTS BELIEVE ONLY ABOVE CHOOSING FUND
91
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
92/115
INTERPRETATION:
Most of the investors or clients want to invest in public co. because most of the clients
think that/;
It is risk free means to say there is less risk to invest in that type of funds, that is a
trustworthy co.
Some investors invest just because of good return, peoples perception towards that co.
is that it will never incurred loss and it will not cheat the investors.
Reliance is one of the most powerful and reputed co. even we can say MNC co. so
just because of good positioned in the market investors want to invest over there.

Investors who have already invested in mutual fund they all want advisory services from
Reliance, in advisory services; we can know NAV (net assets value) of each fund on daily
basis.
So investors want to get those services so that they can take right decision on right time, if he

CLIENTS ATTITUDE TOWARDS DSP BLACK ROCK FUND WHICH
PROVIDE 100% RETURN NOW A DAYS
INTERPRETATION:
We have seen that most of the investors dont want to invest in dsp black rock fund, which is
international co. , they dont want to invest because they know that now a days the NAV of
this fund is very low approx. (14 -15 rs.) so on this the 100% return is not so hectic for the
org. and market is totally based upon uncertainty and always be fluctuating so he thinks that
may be dspblack rock will not provide same return in future so the investors may get lost, so
they dont want to invest in this. Only those investors would like to invest in this fund who
invests for short term.

INVESTORS WOULD LIKE TO INVEST IN
INTERPRETATION:
We can see that most if the investors want to invest in debt funds because there is a solid
reason behind this is that the debt funds provide the fixed rate of interest to the investors,
there is no risk in that type of funds for the investors.
While only big investors want to invest in equity market because equity fund provide the
dividend according to performance of the org. if there will be profit in org so investors will
get the dividend otherwise they will have to face loss
Thats why investors want to invest in debt funds rather than equity market.

much popular as other brands operating in Kanpur city. Bajaj Allianz, HDFC, ICICI
are having much higher tapped market in respect to mutual funds.
2) Reliance as an investment option in Mutual Fund does not possess much proficiency
and potential customers in Kanpur city. Though the financial advisors advise their
clients to go for Mutual Fund as an investment option. About 42% of advisors advise
their clients to invest in Mutual Funds, followed by investing in Insurance sector.
3) The advisors after having a deep thought says that it is the Returns that make them
convince their clients to go for investment in mutual funds. 36% of advisors said that
it is the Returns which make a person to invest in Mutual Fund. Followed by Risk
which is quite lesser in other investment options.
4) A huge lot of advisors showed a positive response in dealing of for Mutual Fund.

Swot Analysis
99
-
8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
100/115
A type of fundamental analysis of the health of a company by examining its strengths(S),
weakness (W), business opportunity (O), and any threat (T) or dangers it might be exposed to.
# I.STRENGTHS
Brand strategy: as opposed to some of its competitors (e.g. HSBC), Reliance
ADAG operates a multi-brand strategy. The company operates under numerous well-
known brand names, which allows the company to appeal to many different segments
of the market.
Distribution channel strategy: Reliance is continuously improving the distribution
of its products. Its online and Internet-based access offers a combination of excellent
growth prospects and its retail direct business also saw growth of 27% in 2002 and
15% in 2003.
Various sources of income: Reliance has many sources of income throughout the
group, and this diversity within the group makes the company more flexible and
resistant to economic and environmental changes.

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
101/115
Large poolof installed capacities.
Experienced managers for large number of Generics.
Large pool ofskilled and knowledgeable manpower.
An increasing liberalization of government policies.
# II. WEAKNESS
Emerging markets: since there is more investment demand in the United States,
Japan and the rest of Asia, Reliance should concentrate on these markets, especially in
view of low global interest rates.
Mutual funds are like many other investments without a guaranteed return: there is
always the possibility that the value of your mutual fund will depreciate. Unlike fixed-
income products, such as bonds and Treasury bills, mutual funds experience price
fluctuations along with the stocks that make up the fund. When deciding on a
particular fund to buy, you need to research the risks involved just because a
professional manager is looking after the fund, that doesnt mean the performance will
bestellar.

8/2/2019 Report on Reliance
102/115
Fees: In mutual funds, the fees are classified into two categories: shareholder fees and
annual operating fees. The shareholder fees, in the forms of loads and redemption fees
are paid directly by shareholders purchasing or selling the funds. The annual fund
operating fees are charged as an annual percentage usually ranging from 1-3%.
These fees are assessed to mutual fund investors regardless of the performance of the
fund. As you can imagine, in years when the fund doesnt make money, these fees
only magnify losses.
III. OPPORTUNITIES
Potential markets: The Indian rural market has great potential. All the major market
leaders consider the segments and real markets for their products. A senior official in
a one of the leading company says foray into rural India already started and there has
been realization that the rural market is both price and quantity conscious.
Entry of MNCs: Due to multinationals are entering into market job opportunities are
increasing day by day. Also India Mutual Fund majors are tie up with other financial
institutions.

# IV. THREATS
Hedge funds: sometimes referred to as as hot money, are also causing a threat for
mutual funds have gained worldwide notoriety for bringing the markets down. Be it a
crash in the currency, A stock or A bond market, A usually a hedge fund prominently
figures somewhere in the picture.

Recommendations
There is high potential market. For mutual fund investors Kanpur city but this market
need to bed explored as investors are still hesitated to invest their money in mutual
fund.
In Kanpur city, investor has inadequate knowledge of mutual fund, so proper
marketing of various scheme is required, co. should arrange more and more seminar
about mutual fund.
Co. should also provide the knowledge of growth rate and expected growth rate of
mutual fund in India.
Reliance must be concentrate on the management of the co. so that every work can be
done in a proper way.
104
