MUTUAL FUND
Mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a commonfinancial goal. This pool of money is invested in accordance with a stated objective. The joint
ownership of the fund is thus “Mutual”, i.e. the fund belongs to all investors. The money thuscollected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciations realizedare shared by its unit holders in proportion the number of units owned by them. Thus a MutualFund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest ina diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. A Mutual Fundis an investment tool that allows small investors access to a well-diversified portfolio of equities, bonds and other securities. Each shareholder participates in the gain or loss of the fund. Units areissued and can be redeemed as needed. The fund’s Net Asset value (NAV) is determined eachday.
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 notmove in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issuesunits to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.
When an investor subscribes for the units of a mutual fund, he becomes part owner of the assetsof the fund in the same proportion as his contribution amount put up with the Corpus (the totalamount of the fund). Mutual Fund investor is also known as a mutual fund shareholder or a unitholder.

Any change in the value of the investments made into capital market instruments (such as shares,debentures etc) is reflected in the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the scheme. NAV is defined as themarket value of the Mutual Fund scheme's assets net of its liabilities. NAV of a scheme iscalculated by dividing the market value of scheme's assets by the total number of units issued tothe investors.
NAV (For a particular day)
= Market Value of the scheme / Number of unit-holders
Where,
Numerator= Market value of investment+receivables+other Accrued Income +Other Assets-Accrued Expenses-Other Payables-Other Liabilities.

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 managers the fund by makinginvestments in various schemes of the in its custody. The trustees are vested with the general power of superintendence and direction over AMC. They monitor the performance andcompliance 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 withSEBI before they launch any scheme.

MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
HISTORY

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/48267117-reliance-mutual-fund-scribd 4/32
In the beginning:
Historians are uncertain of the origins of investment funds; some cite the closed-endinvestment companies launched in the Netherlands in 1822 by King William I as the firstmutual funds, while others point to a Dutch merchant named Adrian van Ketwich whoseinvestment trust created in 1774 may have given the king the idea. Van Ketwich probablytheorized that diversification would increase the appeal of investments to smaller investors withminimal capital. The name of van Ketwich's fund, EENDRAGT MAAKT MAGT, translates to"unity creates strength". The next wave of near-mutual funds included an investment trustlaunched in Switzerland in 1849, followed by similar vehicles which is followed by many kindof companies created in Scotland in the 1880s.
The idea of pooling resources and spreading risk using closed-end investments soon took root inGreat Britain and France, making its way to the United States in the 1890s. The Boston PersonalProperty Trust, formed in 1893, was the first closed-end fund in the U.S. The creation of theAlexander Fund in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1907 was an important step in the evolutiontoward what we know as the modern mutual fund. The Alexander Fund featured semi-annual
issues and allowed investors to make withdrawals on demand.
The Arrival of the Modern Fund:
The creation of the Massachusetts Investors' Trust in Boston, Massachusetts, heralded thearrival of the modern mutual fund in 1924. The fund went public in 1928, eventually spawningthe mutual fund firm known today as MFS Investment Management. State Street Investors' Trustwas the custodian of the Massachusetts Investors' Trust. Later, State Street Investors started itsown fund in 1924 with Richard Paine, Richard Saltonstall and Paul Cabot at the helm. Saltonstall
was also affiliated with Scudder, Stevens and Clark, an outfit that would launch the first no-load fund in 1928. A momentous year in the history of the mutual fund, 1928 also saw thelaunch of the Wellington Fund, which was the first mutual fund to include stocks and bonds, asopposed to direct merchant bank style of investments in business and trade.
Regulation and Expansion:
By 1929, there were 19 open-end mutual funds competing with nearly 700 closed-end
funds. With the stock market crash of 1929, the dynamic began to change as highly-leveragedclosed-end funds were wiped out and small open-end funds managed to survive.
Government regulators also began to take notice of the fledgling mutual fund industry. Thecreation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the passage of the Securities Act of 1933 and the enactment of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 put in place safeguardsto protect investors: mutual funds were required to register with the SEC and to providedisclosure in the form of a prospectus. The Investment Company Act of 1940 put in place
8/3/2019 48267117 Reliance Mutual Fund Scribd
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/48267117-reliance-mutual-fund-scribd 5/32
additional regulations that required more disclosures and sought to minimize grievance of investor of different categories conflicts of interest.
The mutual fund industry continued to expand. At the beginning of the 1950s, the number of open-end funds topped 100. In 1954, the financial markets overcame their 1929 peak, and themutual fund industry began to grow in earnest, adding some 50 new funds over the course of thedecade. The 1960s saw the rise of aggressive growth funds, with more than 100 new fundsestablished and billions of dollars in new asset inflows.
Hundreds of new funds were launched throughout the 1960s until the bear market of 1969 cooledthe public appetite for mutual funds. Money flowed out of mutual funds as quickly as investorscould redeem their shares, but the industry's growth later resumed.
Massachusetts Investors Trust (now MFS Investment Management) was founded on March 21,1924, and, after one year, had 200 shareholders and $392,000 in assets. The entire industry,which included a few closed-end funds, represented less than $10 million in 1924.
The stock market crash of 1929 slowed the growth of mutual funds. In response to the stock market crash, Congress passed the Security Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These laws require that a fund be registered with the SEC.
INDIAN MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
HISTORY
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. Though the growthwas slow, but it accelerated from the year 1987 when Non-UTI players entered into theIndustry.
In the past decade, Indian mutual fund industry had seen a dramatic improvement, bothqualities wise as well as quantity wise. In March 1987, the Asset Under Management(AUM) was Rs.4564 crores. The private sector entry to the fund family raised the AUM toRs. 47000 crores in March 1993 and till April 30, 2010; it has reached the height of Rs. 7,19,133 crores.

The Mutual Fund Industry is obviously growing at a tremendous space with the mutualfund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to the development of thesector. Each phase is briefly described as under.
Phase I. Establishment and Growth of Unit Trust of India - 1964-87
Unit Trust of India enjoyed complete monopoly when it was established in the year 1963 by anact of Parliament. UTI was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and it continued to operate under the regulatory control of the RBI until the two were de-linked in 1978 and the entire control wastransferred in the hands of Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI). UTI launched its firstscheme in 1964, named as Unit Scheme 1964 (US-64), which attracted the largest number of investors in any single investment scheme over the years. UTI launched more innovativeschemes in 1970s and 80s to suit the needs of different investors. It launched ULIP in 1971, sixmore schemes between 1981 and 1984, Children's Gift Growth Fund and India Fund (India's firstoffshore fund) in 1986, Master share (India’s first equity diversified scheme) in 1987 andMonthly Income Schemes (offering assured returns) during 1990s. By the end of 1987, UTI'sassets under management grew ten times to Rs. 6700 crores.
Phase II. Entry of Public Sector Funds - 1987-1993
The Indian mutual fund industry witnessed a number of public sector players entering the marketin the year 1987. In November 1987, SBI Mutual Fund from the State Bank of India became thefirst non-UTI mutual fund in India. SBI Mutual Fund was later followed by Canbank MutualFund, LIC Mutual Fund, Indian Bank Mutual Fund, Bank of India Mutual Fund, GIC MutualFund and PNB Mutual Fund. By 1993, the assets under management of the industry increasedseven times to Rs. 47,004 crores. However, UTI remained to be the leader with about 80%
market share.

Phase III. Emergence of Private Sector Funds - 1993-96
The permission given to private sector funds including foreign fund management companies(most of them entering through joint ventures with Indian promoters) to enter the mutual fundindustry in 1993, provided a wide range of choice to investors and more competition in theindustry. Private funds introduced innovative products, investment techniques and investor-servicing technology. By 1994-95, about 11 private sector funds had launched their schemes.

Phase IV. Growth and SEBI Regulation - 1996-2004
The mutual fund industry witnessed robust growth and stricter regulation from the SEBI after theyear 1996. The mobilization of funds and the number of players operating in the industry reachednew heights as investors started showing more interest in mutual funds. Investors' interests weresafeguarded by SEBI and the Government offered tax benefits to the investors in order toencourage them. SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 was introduced by SEBI that setuniform standards for all mutual funds in India. The Union Budget in 1999 exempted alldividend incomes in the hands of investors from income tax. Various Investor AwarenessPrograms were launched during this phase, both by SEBI and AMFI, with an objective toeducate investors and make them informed about the mutual fund industry. In February 2003,the UTI Act was repealed and UTI was stripped of its Special legal status as a trust formed by anAct of Parliament. The primary objective behind this was to bring all mutual fund players on thesame level.
UTI was re-organized into two parts:1. The Specified Undertaking2. The UTI Mutual FundPresently Unit Trust of India operates under the name of UTI Mutual Fund and its past schemes(like US-64, Assured Return Schemes) are being gradually wound up.However, UTI Mutual Fund is still the largest player in the industry. In 1999, there was asignificant growth in mobilizations of funds from investors and assets under management whichis supported by the following data:

ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA (AMFI)
The mutual fund industry has a trade association called Association of Mutual Funds in India
(AMFI) modeled on the lines of a Self Regulating Organization (SRO) with a view to 'promoting
and pr otecting the interest of mutual funds and their unit-holders, increasing public awareness of
mutual funds, and serving the investor’s interest by defining and maintaining high ethical and
professional standards in the mutual funds industry'. AMFI plays an important role in

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.
Every mutual fund must be registered with SEBI and registration is granted only where
SEBI is satisfied with the background of the fund.
SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 lays down the provisions for the appointment
of the trustees and their obligations. The Regulations have also laid down the
provisions for the approval of the AMC and the custodian.
Every new scheme launched by a mutual fund needs to be filed with SEBI and SEBI
reviews the document in regard to the disclosures contained in such documents.
SEBI has also laid down advertisement code to be followed by a mutual fund in
making any publicity regarding a scheme and its performance.
SEBI has the authority to inspect the books of accounts, records and documents of a
mutual fund, its trustees, AMC and custodian where it deems it necessary. SEBI also
has the authority to initiate penal actions against an erring MF.

8/3/2019 48267117 Reliance Mutual Fund Scribd
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/48267117-reliance-mutual-fund-scribd 17/32
the important investment options include:
1. Growth Option:
Dividend is not paid-out under a Growth Option and the investor realizes only the capital
appreciation on the investment (by an increase in NAV).
2. Dividend Payout Option:
Dividends are paid-out to investors under the Dividend Payout Option. However, the NAV of the
mutual fund scheme falls to the extent of the dividend payout.
3. Dividend Re-investment Option:
Here the dividend accrued on mutual funds is automatically re-invested in purchasing additional
units in open-ended funds. In most cases mutual funds offer the investor an option of collecting
dividends or re-investing the same.
4. Retirement Pension Option:
Some schemes are linked with retirement pension. Individuals participate in these options for
themselves, and corporate participate for their employees.
5. Insurance Option:
Certain Mutual Funds offer schemes that provide insurance cover to investors as an added
benefit.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/48267117-reliance-mutual-fund-scribd 18/32
facilities. The investor gets fewer units when the NAV is high and more units when the
NAV is low. This is called as the benefit of Rupee Cost Averaging (RCA)

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
• Periodic investments are referred to as a SIP.
That means that, every month, you commit to investing, say, Rs 1,000 in your fund. At the end
of a year, you would have invested Rs 12,000 in your fund.
Let's say the NAV on the day you invest in the first month is Rs 20; you will get 50 units.
The next month, the NAV is Rs 25. You will get 40 units.
The following month, the NAV is Rs 18. You will get 55.56 units.
So, after three months, you would have 145.56 units. On an average, you would have paid
around Rs 21 per unit. This is because, when the NAV is high, you get fewer units per Rs 1,000.
When the NAV falls, you get more units per Rs 1,000.
