13. Advantages of mutual fund
 Professional Management:-The investment management skills, along with
the needed research into available investment options, ensure a much better return as
compared to what an investor can manage on his own.
 Minimization of risk:- The potential losses are also shared with other
investors.
 Portfolio diversification:- It enables him to hold a diversified investment
portfolio even with a small amount of investment like Rs. 2000/-.
 Low Costs Liquidity:- Investors may be unable to sell shares directly,
easily and quickly. When they invest in mutual funds, they can cash their
investment any time by selling the units to the fund if it is open-ended and
get the intrinsic value. Investors can sell the units in the market if it is close
ended fund.
 Tax benefits:-Some times the investors investing their money in the
mutual funds to get some tax benefits.

14. Disadvantages of mutual fund
 No control over costs:- The investor pays investment management fees
as long as he remains with the fund, even while the value of his investments
are declining. He also pays for funds distribution charges which he would
not incur in direct investments.
 No tailor-made portfolios: The very high net-worth individuals or large
corporate investors may find this to be a constraint as they will not be able to
build their own portfolio of shares, bonds and other securities.
 Managing a portfolio of funds:- Availability of a large number of funds
can actually mean too much choice for the investor. So, he may again need
advice on how to select a fund to achieve his objectives.
 Delay in redemption:- It takes 3-6 days for redemption of the units and
the money to flow back into the investor’s account.

15. Exchange trade fund
 An ETF can be described as a pooled investment vehicle
with units that can be bought or sold throughout the trading
day on a stock exchange at a market determined price that
is close to its net asset value (NAV).
OR
 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are mutual fund units
which investors buy or sell from the stock exchange, as
against a normal mutual fund unit, where the investor buys
/ sells through a distributor or directly from the AMC.

16. Characteristics of ETFs
 An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is essentially a scheme
where the investor has to buy/ sell units from the market
through a broker (just as he would by a share).
 An investor must have a demat account for buying and
selling ETFs.
 An important feature of ETFs is the huge reduction in
costs. While a typical Index fund would have expenses in
the range of 1.5% of Net Assets, an ETF might have
expenses around 0.75%
