4. Introduction
Different investment avenues are available to investors. Mutual funds also
offer good investment opportunities to the investors. Like all investments,
they also carry certain risks. The investors should compare the risks and
expected yields after adjustment of tax on various instruments while taking
investment decisions. The investors may seek advice from experts and
consultants including agents and distributors of mutual funds schemes while
making investment decisions.
With an objective to make the investors aware of functioning of mutual
funds, an attempt has been made to provide information in question-answer
format which may help the investors in taking investment decisions.
What is a Mutual Fund?
Mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling the resources by issuing units to the
investors and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as
disclosed in offer document.
Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries
and sectors and thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk
because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same
proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors in
accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual
funds are known as unit holders.
The profits or losses are shared by the investors in proportion to their
investments. The mutual funds normally come out with a number of schemes
with different investment objectives which are launched from time to time.
A mutual fund is required to be registered with Securities and Exchange

5. Board of India (SEBI) which regulates securities markets before it can
collect funds from the public.
What is the history of Mutual Funds in
India and role of SEBI in mutual funds
industry?
Unit Trust of India was the first mutual fund set up in India in the year 1963.
In early 1990s, 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 in 1993. 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 January
15, 2002).

6. How is a mutual fund set up?
A mutual fund is set up in the form of a trust, which has sponsor, trustees,
asset Management Company (AMC) and custodian. The trust is established
by a sponsor or more than one sponsor who is like promoter of a company.
The trustees of the mutual fund hold its property for the benefit of the unit
holders. Asset Management Company (AMC) approved by SEBI manages
the funds by making investments in various types of securities. Custodian,
who is registered with SEBI, holds the securities of various schemes of the
fund in its custody. The trustees are vested with the general power of
superintendence and direction over AMC. They monitor the performance
and compliance of SEBI Regulations by the mutual fund.
SEBI Regulations require that at least two thirds of the directors of trustee
company or board of trustees must be independent i.e. they should not be
associated with the sponsors. Also, 50% of the directors of AMC must be
independent. All mutual funds are required to be registered with SEBI before
they launch any scheme. However, Unit Trust of India (UTI) is not
registered with SEBI (as on January 15, 2002).
How to invest in a scheme of a mutual fund?
Mutual funds normally come out with an advertisement in newspapers
publishing the date of launch of the new schemes. Investors can also contact
the agents and distributors of mutual funds who are spread all over the
country for necessary information and application forms. Forms can be
deposited with mutual funds through the agents and distributors who provide
such services. Now a day, the post offices and banks also distribute the units
of mutual funds. However, the investors may please note that the mutual
funds schemes being marketed by banks and post offices should not be taken
as their own schemes and no assurance of returns is given by them. The only

7. role of banks and post offices is to help in distribution of mutual funds
schemes to the investors.
Investors should not be carried away by commission/gifts given by
agents/distributors for investing in a particular scheme. On the other hand
they must consider the track record of the mutual fund and should take
objective decisions
What is Net Asset Value (NAV) of a scheme?
The performance of a particular scheme of a mutual fund is denoted by Net
Asset Value (NAV).
Mutual funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities
markets. In simple words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the
securities held by the scheme. Since market value of securities changes
every day, NAV of a scheme also varies on day to day basis. The NAV per
unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by the total number
of units of the scheme on any particular date. For example, if the market
value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs 200 lakhs and the mutual
fund has issued 10 lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the NAV
per unit of the fund is Rs.20. NAV is required to be disclosed by the mutual
funds on a regular basis - daily or weekly - depending on the type of scheme.
What are the different types of mutual fund
schemes?
Schemes according to Maturity Period
A mutual fund scheme can be classified into open-ended scheme or close-
ended scheme depending on its maturity period.
# Open-ended Fund/ Scheme
An open-ended fund or scheme is one that is available for subscription and
repurchase on a continuous basis. These schemes do not have a fixed
maturity period. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset

8. Value (NAV) related prices which are declared on a daily basis. The key
feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.
# Close-ended Fund/ Scheme
A close-ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years.
The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the time
of launch of the scheme. 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 the units 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 i.e. either repurchase facility or through listing on
stock exchanges. These mutual funds schemes disclose NAV generally on
weekly basis.
# Schemes according to Investment Objective
A scheme can also be classified as growth scheme, income scheme, or
balanced scheme considering its investment objective. Such schemes may be
open-ended or close-ended schemes as described earlier. Such schemes may
be classified mainly as follows:
# Growth / Equity Oriented Scheme
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium
to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in
equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. These schemes provide
different options to the investors like dividend option, capital appreciation,
etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences.
The investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual
funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growth

9. schemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking
appreciation over a period of time.
# Income / Debt Oriented Scheme
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, Government securities and money market
instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These
funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However,
opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The
NAVs of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the
country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in
the short run and vice versa. However, long term investors may not bother
about these fluctuations.
# Balanced Fund
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as
such schemes invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the
proportion indicated in their offer documents. These are appropriate for
investors looking for moderate growth. They generally invest 40-60% in
equity and debt instruments. These funds are also affected because of
fluctuations in share prices in the stock markets. However, NAVs of such
funds are likely to be less volatile compared to pure equity funds.
# Money Market or Liquid Fund
These funds are also income funds and their aim is to provide easy liquidity,
preservation of capital and moderate income. These schemes invest
exclusively in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills, certificates
of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money, government

10. securities, etc. Returns on these schemes fluctuate much less compared to
other funds. These funds are appropriate for corporate and individual
investors as a means to park their surplus funds for short periods.
# Gilt Fund
These funds invest exclusively in government securities. Government
securities have no default risk. NAVs of these schemes also fluctuate due to
change in interest rates and other economic factors as is the case with
income or debt oriented schemes.
# What are sector specific funds/schemes?
These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those
sectors or industries as specified in the offer documents. e.g.
Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG),
Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the
performance of the respective sectors/industries. While these funds may give
higher returns, they are more risky compared to diversified funds. Investors
need to keep a watch on the performance of those sectors/industries and
must exit at an appropriate time. They may also seek advice of an expert.
# What are Tax Saving Schemes?
These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific provisions of
the Income Tax Act, 1961 as the Government offers tax incentives for
investment in specified avenues. e.g. Equity Linked Savings Schemes

11. (ELSS). Pension schemes launched by the mutual funds also offer tax
benefits. These schemes are growth oriented and invest pre-dominantly in
equities. Their growth opportunities and risks associated are like any equity-
oriented scheme.
# What is a sale or repurchase/redemption
price?
The price or NAV a unit holder is charged while investing in an open-ended
scheme is called sales price. It may include sales load, if applicable.
Repurchase or redemption price is the price or NAV at which an open-ended
scheme purchases or redeems its units from the unit holders. It may include
exit load, if applicable.
# What is an assured return scheme?
Assured return schemes are those schemes that assure a specific return to the
unit holders irrespective of performance of the scheme.
A scheme cannot promise returns unless such returns are fully guaranteed by
the sponsor or AMC and this is required to be disclosed in the offer
document.
Investors should carefully read the offer document whether return is assured
for the entire period of the scheme or only for a certain period. Some
schemes assure returns one year at a time and they review and change it at
the beginning of the next year.
