fundamentals of mutual funds Over the last 20 years, mutual funds have started to grow in popularity. Now, more than 80 million people invest in mutual funds. Mutual funds are heralded as a way for everyone to get a piece of the market without needing to spend much time analyzing and focusing on stocks. A mutual fund is just a collection of stocks and/or bonds. To invest in a mutual fund, you invest a certain amount of money into a pool of money, and a fund manager with use the money to invest in the stock market. There are three ways to make money with mutual funds: 1) Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds 2) If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital gain, and the 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 and the fund’s shares increase in price, you can then sell your mutual fund shares for a profit
what is an equity fund
As a young and inexperienced investor, one’s ultimate option is to put money in mutual bonds to let professional investors make the best choices of where to allocate the money. The young investor will not need to consistently keep eyes and on the market trends, and worry about investing in the wrong stocks due to the lack of investing knowledge. Out of all the mutual funds to invest in, the most suitable type for young grade nine students to invest in is equity funds due to several of reasons. Equity mutual funds are mainly based on capital appreciation, and one makes income through dividends and stability through broad diversification. This type of mutual fund is also rather long term in comparison to the other types. This suits ninth graders because they have no particular need for the money in the short future; therefore they are able to leave the money in the fund for a longer period of time. In addition, at a young ager, one is more risk taking and have the chance to be taking riskier investments because he does not urgently need the money as his parents are still supporting him. The equity funds also potentially give larger returns in comparing other type of funds. This favours young investors since young person are more ambitious to be rich.
example of an equity fund UTI Master Value Fund UTI Master Value is a great equity fund for the ninth grade investor to put his money. This fund is one of the best funds in India and shows great return over the long period of time rather than short.

manager’s investment style
UTI Master Value Fund’s investment manager is Mr. Anoop Bhaskar, who is a B.Com graduate from Delhi University and a MBA graduate in Finance from SIBM, Pune. He has over 16 years of experience in the Finance and Research. He has worked with with Sundaram Asset Management, Chennai as Head-Equity, Templeton Asset Management as Senior Research Analyst, Shriram Financial Services Ltd. as Manager-Investments, Brisk Financial Services and Cross Borders Finance & Project. He has assumed the role of Head- Equity at UTI AMC since April, 2007. In 2003, Bhaskar decided to move on to Sundaram when was the start of this great bull market. He has always focused on mid-caps because he gained some experience of how these companies would shape up over his working years. In UTI Master Value Fund, Bhaskar seeks to buy stocks with dividend yields higher than the yield on S&P CNX Nifty index. The fund’s objective is to seek capital appreciation, not necessarily dividends and therefore, Bhaskar also invests 35% of the fund’s corpus in low dividend yield stocks for example Infosys Technologies and Sesa Goa. Bhaskar does not take on high risk stocks to guarantee some revenue and profit, which makes UTI Master Value Fund a “below average” risk fund.

transferability UTI funds can be transferred after the lock in period of three years from the ‘date of acceptance’. This means that the fund is rather hard to transfer within the fund family. The transferability of the fund concerns the investor because if whenever an investor realizes that he/she has different needs in life, he might want to transfer to a different type of fund, however from the same family if the company is doing well. This shows a change in one’s investment objectives. In addition, one may want to transfer the funds from one type to another to diversify one’s portfolio. Futhurmore, the investor can eventually lose the interest of their current mutual fund and be interested in other ones in the family, and transferability gives the investor a chance to make the change.
