Mutual funds are broadly categorized as Open Ended Mutual Funds and Closed Ended Mutual Funds. Open Ended mutual funds are those funds which offer unit for sales without specifying any duration for redemption. The open ended scheme sells and repurchases the units of mutual fund on a continuous basis. These sales and repurchase takes place at a price called Net Asset Value. Equity diversified funds are those funds in which whole money is invested in equity (shares) market only. My objective is stretches towards their thoughts about these financial instruments which are provided by the Reliance Money Limited. What are their assumption about share market and mutual funds?

INTRODUCTION A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks,
6
bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. The mutual fund will have a fund manager that trades the pooled money on a regular basis. On March 31,2009, the value of all mutual funds totals Rs. 493,000 crores in India. TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS : A. Schemes according to Maturity Period:
A mutual fund scheme can be classified into open-ended scheme or closeended scheme depending on its maturity period.
1) Open-ended Fund
An open-ended Mutual fund is one that is available for subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis. These Funds do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices which are declared on a daily basis. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.
2) Close-ended Fund
6
A close-ended Mutual fund 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 closeended 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. B. Fund according to Investment Objective:
A scheme can also be classified as growth fund, income fund, or balanced fund 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
6
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 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
6
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 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. Index Funds
Index Funds replicate the portfolio of a particular index such as the BSE Sensitive index, S&P NSE 50 index (Nifty), etc These schemes invest in
6
the securities in the same weightage comprising of an index. NAVs of such schemes would rise or fall in accordance with the rise or fall in the index, though not exactly by the same percentage due to some factors known as "tracking error" in technical terms. Necessary disclosures in this regard are made in the offer document of the mutual fund scheme. There are also exchange traded index funds launched by the mutual funds which are traded on the stock exchanges.

Mutual fund fees and expenses A front-end load or sales charge is a commission paid to a broker by a mutual fund when shares are purchased, taken as a percentage of funds invested. The value of the investment is reduced by the amount of the load. Some funds have a deferred sales charge or back-end load. In this type of fund an investor pays no sales charge when purchasing shares, but will pay a commission out of the proceeds when shares are redeemed depending on how long they are held. Another derivative structure is a level-load fund, in which no sales charge is paid when buying the fund, but a back-end load may be charged if the shares purchased are sold within a year. Load funds are sold through financial intermediaries such as brokers, financial planners, and other types of registered representatives who charge a commission for their services. Shares of front-end load funds are frequently eligible for breakpoints (i.e., a reduction in the commission paid) based on a number of variables. These include other accounts in the same fund family held by the investor or various family members, or committing to buy more of the fund within a set period of time in return for a lower commission "today".
6
No-load funds include both index funds and actively managed funds. The largest mutual fund families selling no-load index funds are Vanguard and Fidelity, though there are a number of smaller mutual fund families with no-load funds as well. Expense ratios in some no-load index funds are less than 0.2% per year versus the typical actively managed fund's expense ratio of about 1.5% per year. Load funds usually have even higher expense ratios when the load is considered. The expense ratio is the anticipated annual cost to the investor of holding shares of the fund. For example, on a $100,000 investment, an expense ratio of 0.2% means $200 of annual expense, while a 1.5% expense ratio would result in $1,500 of annual expense. These expenses are before any sales commissions paid to purchase the mutual fund. Many fee-only financial advisors strongly suggest no-load funds such as index funds. If the advisor is not of the fee-only type but is instead compensated by commissions, the advisor may have a conflict of interest in selling high-commission load funds.

Mutual Fund Industry In India
The origin of mutual fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept of mutual fund by UTI in the year 1963. Though the growth was slow, but it accelerated from the year 1987 when non-UTI players entered the industry.
In the past decade, Indian mutual fund industry had seen a dramatic improvements, both quality wise as well as quantity wise. Before, the monopoly of the market had seen an ending phase, the Assets Under Management (AUM) was Rs. 67bn. The private sector entry to the fund
6
family rose the AUM to Rs. 470 bn in March 1993 and till April 2004, it reached the height of 1,540 bn.
Putting the AUM of the Indian Mutual Funds Industry into comparison, the total of it is less than the deposits of SBI alone, constitute less than 11% of the total deposits held by the Indian banking industry. The main reason of its poor growth is that the mutual fund industry in India is new in the country. Large sections of Indian investors are yet to be made familiar with the concept. Hence, it is the prime responsibility of all mutual fund companies, to market the product correctly abreast of selling. The mutual fund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to the development of the sector. Each phase is briefly described as under.
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 RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in
6
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) Entry of non-UTI mutual funds. SBI Mutual Fund was the first followed by Canra 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 in 1989 and GIC in 1990. The end of 1993 marked Rs.47,004 as assets under management. 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
6
industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996. The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many 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 This phase had bitter experience for UTI. It was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with AUM of Rs.29,835 crores (as on January 2003). 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 Ltd, 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 AUM 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.

CURRENT SCENARIO OF MUTUAL FUNDS INDUSTRY Data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) demonstrate the country's mutual fund industry is not immune to the global downturn. Mutual fund assets fell by 7 per cent by the end of 2008-09 over the previous year. The slump is severe compared to the tremendous growth of around 46 per cent on an average achieved for the past 5 years. Average assets under management (AUM) grew over six times from Rs.79,000 crore in March 2003 to a whopping Rs.530,000 crore plus by the end of March 2008. However, the assets shrunk by Rs.37,000 crore to Rs.493,000 by March 2009, reflecting the fall in investor confidence. During the period the BSE Sensex plummeted 38 per cent from 15,644 points to 9708 indicating substantial erosion of the net asset values (NAV) of the mutual funds, which not only reined the growth in assets but also resulted in the 7 per cent drop. Of the 35 fund houses, 28 registered losses and the other 7 recorded gains in their AUM.
6
In percentage terms, Franklin Telmpleton Mutual Fund had a large loss of 28 per cent in AUM from Rs.26,822 crore to Rs.19,203 crore. Tata Mutual Fund dropped 13 per cent from Rs.19,679 crore to Rs.17,030 crore. The largest fund, Reliance Mutual Fund fell by about 11 per cent from Rs.90,938 crore to Rs.80,963 crore. SBI Mutual Fund too dropped close to 10 per cent from Ts.29,179 crore to Rs.26,383 crore and ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, the third largest fund declined over 5 per cent from Rs.54,322 crore to Rs.51,432 crore. Leading funds which bucked the trend by recording an increase in the AUM included LIC Mutual Fund which gained a whopping 64 per cent from Rs.14,056 crore to Rs.23,092 crore, Birla Sunlife 31 per cent from Rs.35,906 crore to Rs.47,096 crore and HDFC Mutual fund, the second largest fund rose 29 per cent from Rs.44,773 crore to Rs.57,956 crore. Two funds which were relatively stable were UTI Mutual Fund which had a marginal drop of 0.4 per cent from Rs.48,952 crore to Rs.48,754 crore and Kotak Mutual Fund which increased 0.7 per cent from Rs.18,071 crore to Rs.18,204 crore. Assests drop by 1.5 per cent in March
6
The monthly data indicate a marginal 1.5 per cent or Rs.7,686 crore drop in AUM after a 10 per cent increase in January and 9 per cent in February. The BSE Sensex climbed 11 per cent during the month.
Industry experts say that the drop in assets at the end of the fiscal year is a usual phenomenon. This is mainly due to redemption by banks and corporate houses for advance tax payments. It is believed that around Rs.50,000 crore redemption took place to meet the year end requirements. Bucking the general trend, of the top five fund houses, HDFC Mutual Fund, posted an increase in its asset base by 1.9 per cent or Rs.1092 crore. Reliance Mutual fund recorded a marginal drop of 0.81 per cent (Rs.664 crore). ICICI Prudential declined 3.8 per cent (Rs.2082 crore), UTI Mutual Fund 0.96 per cent (Rs.471 crore) and Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund 3 per cent (Rs.1460 crore) during the month. Other leading fund houses which posted an increase in March are Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund 5.5 per cent (RS.941 crore), IDFC Mutual Fund 5.6 per cent (Rs.763 crore) and Religare Mutual Fund 11.3 per cent (Rs.600 crore) and Fortis 5.5 per cent (Rs.321 crore). Major losers include Tata Mutual Fund 11.8 per cent (RS.2,270 crore), SBI Mutual Fund 4.5 per cent (Rs.1,244 crore) and LIC Mutual Fund 4.8 per cent (Rs.1,176 crore).
6
Fund houses which were able to withstand the redemption pressure attribute the reason to better client penetration, their systematic investment plans (SIP) and new fund offers.
Nevertheless, industry is optimistic that April will see a reversal of the general trend.

TOOLS FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS
NET ASSET VALUE : Mutual funds are portfolio of several securities. For valuation of these securities we calculate NAV (Net Asset Value) of Mutual funds. NAV is calculated on daily basis. The formula for calculating NAV is given as follows: NAV = (Value of Assets – Liabilities) / No. of units of Mutual funds Here, Value of Assets = The sum of market Values of all the Assets Liabilities = All the expenses made in trading of these assets Open ended are Mutual funds traded at NAV and they are listed at Stock Exchanges for their trading. RISK AND RETURN OF MUTUAL FUNDS: The mutual funds are subjected to market risk and return. The risk can be of two types: • Systematic risk
6
• Unsystematic risk The measure of Systematic risk is Beta and the measure of unsystematic risk is Standard deviation. STANDARD DEVIATION = √∑(X – MEAN (X))² / N BETA = COVARIANCE(Ri,Rm) / ∂m
Return of a portfolio can be calculated by following method: Return = (P1- P0) / P0 Where, P1 = LATEST VALUE OF SECURITY OR PORTFOLIO P0 = VALUE OF SECURITY FROM WHERE THE RETURN HAS TO BE CALCULATED PERFORMANCE INDECIES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
1. SHARPE’S PERFORMANCE INDEX: Sharpe’s performance index gives a single value to be used for the performance rankings to the various funds or portfolios. Sharpe index measures the risk premium of the portfolio relative to the total amount of risk in the portfolio. This risk premium is the difference between the portfolio’s average rate of return. The 6
standard deviation of the portfolio indicates the risk. The index assigns the highest values to the assets that have best risk adjusted average rate of return. Sharpe Index = (Portfolio average return – Risk free rate of interest) / Standard deviation of the portfolio return SHARPE’S INDEX = (Rp – Rf) / ∂p Where, Rp = Return of portfolio Rf= Risk Free rate of return ∂p= Standard deviation of portfolio/ Mutual fund
6
2. TREYNOR’S PERFORMANCE INDEX: Treynor’s risk premium of the portfolio is the difference between the average return and riskless rate of return. The risk premium depends on the systematic risk assumed in a portfolio. Tn = (Portfolio average return – Riskless rate of interest) / Beta co-efficient of portfolio TREYNER’S INDEX = (Rp - Rf) / β Where, Rp = Return of portfolio Rf= Risk Free rate of return β = Measure of systematic risk of portfolio /security 3. JENSEN’S PERFORMANCE INDEX: The absolute risk adjusted return measure was developed by Micheal Jensen and commonly known as Jensen’s measure. It is mentioned as a measure of absolute performance because a definite standard is set and against that the performance is measured. The standard is based on manager’s predictive ability. Successful prediction of security price would enable the manager to earn
6
higher returns than the ordinary investor expects to earn in a given level of risk. The basic model of Jensen is given NEXT PAGE:-
JENSEN MODEL = Rp = α + β*(Rm - Rf) Where, Rp = Return of portfolio Rf= Risk Free rate of return ∂p= Standard deviation of portfolio/ Mutual fund β = Measure of systematic risk of portfolio /security α = The intercept = Mean (Ri) - β*Mean (Rm) After calculating Risk and returns of every mutual fund, these are compared with market risk and returns.

Reliance Infocomm is the outcome of late Dhirubhai Ambani’s dream of bringing about a digital revolution in India that will bring to every Indian’s doorstep an affordable means of information and communication. "Make the tools of infocomm available to people at an affordable cost. They will overcome the handicaps of illiteracy and lack of mobility", was how Dhirubhai, as he was fondly called, spelt out Reliance Infocomm’s mission in late 1999. He firmly believed the country could use information and communication technology to overcome its backwardness and underdevelopment.

Both primary and secondary market activity experienced sharp surge. Much progress was made in further strengthening and streamlining risk management, market regulation and supervision. A few aspects of the major developments in the India’s stock markets are described below. And the insurance sector is also play an important role in the growth of the financial market.
Market Structure
6
Indian securities market is fairly large as compared to several other emerging markets. There are 22 stock exchanges in the country, though the entire liquidity is shared between the country’s two national level exchanges namely, the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd. The regional stock exchanges are in pursuit of business models that make them viable and vibrant. Meanwhile, these exchanges have become members of the national level exchanges through formation of subsidiaries whose business is showing continuous growth and progress. The number of brokers in various stock exchanges rose from 6,711 in 1994-95 to 9,335 in FY06. The number of brokers in all the exchanges together peaked to 10,213 in the year FY01 but gradually declined thereafter when the regional stock exchanges began to lose business in the light of wide ranging market structure reforms introduced since then. In FY01, when the markets were in upswing, several regional stock exchanges were generating business owing to the availability of deferral products, such Badla and different settlement calendars prevailing at that time in these exchanges. For instance in FY01, the Delhi Stock Exchange registered cash market turnover of Rs 838.71 bn; Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange, Rs 247.47 bn, Ludhiana Stock Exchange Rs 97.32 bn, Pune Stock Exchange Rs 61.71 bn as against Rs 13,395.11 bn of the turnover at the National Stock Exchange and Rs 10,000.32 bn turnover at the Bombay Stock Exchange. With the abolition of the deferral products and introduction of uniform T+2 settlement cycle, the liquidity in these exchanges flowed to the national level system consisting of NSE and BSE.

SUGGESTIONS The past few months have been volatile as far as the Indian stock markets are concerned, with the indices struggling to grope for direction. Both domestic factors (the Union Budget and interest rate hikes) and international factors (meltdown in the Asian markets) have contributed to the volatility. Nevertheless, we believe that such 'corrections' provide opportunities. We enumerate these aforesaid factors that investors need to consider while choosing the stocks that they want to invest in. The most vital problem spotted is of ignorance. Investors should be made aware of the benefits. Nobody will invest until and unless he is fully convinced. Investors should be made to realize that ignorance is no longer bliss and what they are losing by not investing. Mutual funds offer a lot of benefit which no other single option could offer. But most of the people are not even aware of what actually a mutual fund is? They only see it as just another investment option. So the advisors should try to change their mindsets. The advisors should target for more and more young investors. Young investors as well as persons at the height of their career would like to go for advisors due to lack of expertise and time. The advisors may try to highlight some of the value added benefits of Mutual funds such as tax benefit, rupee cost averaging, and systematic transfer plan, rebalancing etc. these benefits are not offered by other options single-handedly. So these are enough to drive the investors
6
towards mutual funds. Investors could also try to increase the spectrum of services offered. Now the most important reason for not availing the services of advisors was spotted was being expensive. The advisors should try to charge a nominal fee at the beginning. But if not possible then they could go for offering more services and benefits at the existing rate. They should also maintain their decency and follow the code of ethics so that the investors could trust upon them. Thus the advisors should try to attract more and more persons and turn them into investors and finally their clients. According to Sharpe’s , Treyner and Jenson’s measure RELIANCE VISION GROWTH FUND is the best fund to invest in.

CONCLUSION
With the globalize economy and immense competition among countries for faster development of their respective economies, the significance of Mutual Funds and Foreign investment has taken manifold. With a buoyant vibrant and experienced stock market, India today is looking ahead to surpass China in terms of foreign Investment and growth prospects. Stock exchange being the barometer of the economy plays a vital role in showcasing growth of an economy and luring investment. While studying the role of Mutual fund and FIIs in Stock Market, I discussed with a few persons who are into stock broking business. And the information they have provided shows that though the investment and participation of domestic investors are rising, still, they have not been able to prove themselves to be as influential as mutual funds and FIIs. Importance and the role of Mutual funds and FIIs play in the Indian stock market can be seen from the fact that the recent surge in Sensex and NIFTY is attributed to the active participation of FIIs in the Stock Market. Despite being aware of the Asian economic crisis where FIIs role was of a major concern, the importance of foreign capital in the development of economy can not be undermined in anyway.
