INTRODUCTION
MUTUAL FUND? WHAT IS IT?
Weve allheard this term somewhere, especially in advertisements, through those whoclosely follow share markets, or even somewhere in the newspapers, mentioned in depthsof articles on investment.
Mutual Funds essentially collect money from many investors, which are then
invested by professional investors.
A mutual fund is created when investor put their money together. It is therefore a pool of
the investors fundsand is invested according to certain investment objectives.

The term MUTUAL means that investors contribute to the pool and also benefit from
the pool. There are no other claimants to funds. The pool of funds help mutually by
investors is the mutual fund.
A mutual fund business is to invest the funds thus collected according to the wishes of the
investors who created the pool the investor appoints professional investment mangers, to
mange their funds.
These investments could be in instruments such as SHARES andBONDS.
The investor participates in the invested instruments gains and losses in an amount
proportionate to his/her investment.

HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS
History of Mutual Funds has evolved over the years and it is sure to appear as something
very interesting for all the investors of the world. In present world, mutual funds have
become a main form of investment because of its diversified and liquid features. Not only
in the developed world, but in the developing countries also different types of mutual
funds are gaining popularity very fast in a tremendous way. But, there was a time when
The concept of Mutual Funds was not present in the economy.
According to some historians, the mutual funds were first introduced in
Netherlands in 1822. But according to some other belief, the idea of Mutual Fund first
came from a Dutch Merchant ling back in 1774. In 1822, that idea was further developed.
In 1822, the concept ofInvestment Diversification was properly incorporated in the
mutual funds. In fact, the Investment Diversification is the main attraction of mutual funds
as the small investors are also able to allocate theirlittle Funds in a diversified way tolowerRisks.
The modern day mutual funds came into existence in 1924, in Boston.
Massachusetts Investors Trust introduced the Modern Mutual Funds and the funds were
available from 1928. At present this Massachusetts Investors Trust is known as MFS
Investment Management Company. After the glorious year of 1928, Mutual fund ideas
expanded to different levels and different regulations came for well functioning of the
funds.
Still today, the funds are evolving and improving in order to offer people much wider
choices and better advantages for fulfillment of their various investment needs and
financial objectives.

ownership of the mutual fund is in the hand of the investors.
2) A mutual fund is managed by investment professionals and other service
providers who earn a fee for their services from the fund.
3) The pool of funds is invested in a portfolio of marketable investments. The value
of the portfolio is updated every day.
4) The investors share in the fund is denominated by UNIT. The value of the unit
changes with changes in the portfolio value every day the value of the unit of
investment is called as the Net Assets Value or NAV.
5) The investment portfolio of the fund is created according to the stated investment
objectives of the fund.

REGULATORY STRUCTURE OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA.
The structure of mutual fund in India is governed by SEBI (MUTUAL FUND)
regulations 1996. These regulations make it mandatory for mutual funds to have a three-
tier structure of SPONSOR-TRUSTEE-ASSET

CONCEPT AND ROLE OF MUTUAL FUNDS:A Mutual Fund is common pool of money into which Investor place their contributions
that are to be invested in accordance with a stated objective. The ownership of the Fund is
thus joint or mutual; the fund belongings to all investors.
A single investors ownership of the fund is in the same proportion as the amount of the
contribution made by him or her bears to the total amount of the fund.
A Mutual fund uses the money collected from investors to buy those assets, which are
specifically permitted by its stated investment objective. Thus, an Equity Fund would buy
mainly Equity assets-ordinary shares, preference shares, warrants etc. A bond fund would
mainly buy debt instruments such as debentures, bonds or government securities. It is
these assets, which are owned by the investors in the same proportions as there
contribution bears to the total contribution of all investors put together.
When an investor subscribes to a mutual fund, he or she buys a part of these assets or
the pool of funds that are outstanding at that time. Its no different from buying shares
of a joint stock company, in which case the purchase makes the investor a part owner of
the company and its assets. In fact, in the USA, a Mutual fund is constituted as an
investment company and an investor buys into the fund, meaning he buys the shares of
16
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
17/91
the fund. In India, a mutual fund is constituted as a Trust and the investor subscribes to the
units issued by the fund, which is where the term unit Trust comes from.
TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES:
Schemes floated by the various mutual funds are essentially of two types, namely open-
ended and close-ended. The basic characteristics of these two types of mutual fund
schemesaregivenbelow:
17

8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
19/91
OPEN ENDED SCHEMES:
Open-ended schemes are available for subscription all the year round excluding the period
of book-closing. They may or may not have a specified redemption period. The sale and
repurchase prices are fixed by the mutual fund concerned from time to time. Repurchases
are generally allowed al specified rated. Each open-ended scheme must have a minimum
corpus of Rs.50 crore. In case the fund manager is not able to rise this amount at the time
of issue, or 60 % of the targeted amount whichever is higher, the entire subscription must
be returned to the investor.
CLOSE-ENDED SCHEMES
These are open for subscription only during a specified period. Generally the redemptiondates are also specified when the investor can redeem their units. The duration of this
scheme varies: normally it is 5-7 years. Repurchase during the intervening period may or
may not be allowed. Some of the schemes though have a repurchase facility after a certain
period. Many of these schemes are listed in stock exchanges, except for some of the close-
ended income schemes.
New shares are rarely issued after the fund is launched; shares are not normally
redeemable for cash or securities until the fund liquidates. Typically an investor can
acquire shares in a closed-end fund by buying shares on a secondary market from a
broker, market maker, or other investor -- as opposed to an open-end fund where all
transactions eventually involve the fund company creating new shares on the fly (in
exchange for either cash or securities) or redeeming shares (for cash or securities).
The price of a share in a closed-end fund is determined partially by the value of the
investments in the fund, and partially by the premium (or discount) placed on it by the
market. The total value of all the securities in the fund divided by the number of shares in
the fund is called the net asset value, often abbreviated NAV. The market price of a fund
share is often higher or lower than the NAV: when the fund's share price is higher than
NAV it is said to be selling at a premium; when it is lower, at a discount to the NAV

EQUITY ORIENTED SCHEMES:
These schemes, also commonly called Growth Schemes, seek to invest a majority of their
funds in equities and a small portion in money market instruments. Such schemes have the
potential to deliver superior returns over the long term. However, because they invest in
equities, these schemes are exposed to fluctuations in value especially in the short term.
Equity schemes are hence not suitable for investors seeking regular income or needing to
use their investments in the short-term. They are ideal for investors who have a long-term
investment horizon. The NAV prices of equity fund fluctuates with market value of the
underlying stock which are influenced by external factors such as social, political as well
as economic.
DEBT BASED SCHEMES:
These schemes, also commonly called Income Schemes, invest in debt securities such as
corporate bonds, debentures and government securities. The prices of these schemes tend
to be more stable compared with equity schemes and most of the returns to the investors
are generated through dividends or steady capital appreciation. These schemes are ideal
for conservative investors or those not in a
Position to take higher equity risks, such as retired individuals. However, as compared to
the money market schemes they do have a higher price fluctuation risk and compared to a
Gilt fund they have a higher credit risk.

IMPORTANT TERMS OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Net asset value
The net asset value, or NAV, is the current market value of a fund's holdings, (usually
expressed as a per-share amount. For most funds, the NAV is determined daily, after the
close of trading on some specified financial exchange, but some funds update their NAV
multiple times during the trading day. Open-end funds sell and redeem their shares at the
NAV, and so process orders only after the NAV are determined. Closed-end funds (the
shares of which are traded by investors) may trade at a higher or lower price than their
NAV; this is known as a premium or discount, respectively. If a fund is divided into
multiple classes of shares, each class will typically have its own NAV, reflecting
differences in fees and expenses paid by the different classes.
Some mutual funds own securities which are not regularly
traded on any formal exchange. These may be shares in very small or bankrupt
companies; they may be derivatives; or they may be private investments in unregisteredfinancial instruments (such as stock in a non-public company). In the absence of a public
market for these securities, it is the responsibility of the fund manager to form an estimate
of their value when computing the NAV. How much of a fund's assets may be invested in
such securities is stated in the fund's prospectus.
UNIT:
Unit means the interest of unit holders in scheme each unit represent one undivided share
in the assets of a scheme. The value of each unit change depending on Performance of the
fund.

ENTRY LOAD:
The load charge at the time of investment is known as entry load. It is meant to cover the
Cost that the AMC spend in the process of Acquiring subscribers commission payable to
brokers, advertisement, registrar Expenses etc. The load is recovered by the Way of
charging a scale price higher than the prevailing NAV for
Ex...
If entry load is 5% and NAV of fund is 10Rs/unit.
Selling price= 10/ (1-0.05) =10.526
EXIT LOAD:
Some AMC dont charge on entry load but they charged on exit load They deduct load
before paying out the redemption proceeds psychologically ,investors are much more
willing to pay exit load as compared to entry load because they are paying after they have
obtained the service.

Industry Profile
ABOUT MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
Mutual Funds are financial intermediaries which pool the savings of numerous
individuals and invest the money, thus related in a diversified portfolio of securities,
including equity, bonds debentures and other money market instruments, thus
spreading and reducing risk. The objective of mutual fund is to maximize the return to
the investor who participates in equity indirectly through mutual funds.
Even though the mutual fund industry grown in asset value from Rs.7000 Crores to 2,
00,000/- Crores today, this is just the tip of the iceberg. According to most Fund
Managers, the real boom is yet to come.
The sum of Rs.2, 00,000/- Crores represents just 3% - 4%
of the total market capitalization of 25, 00,000 Crore. This compares poorly with the US,
where the mutual funds have nearly $ 6.8 billion of market capitalization of roughly
Rs.70000 Crore, barely 3% - 4% of total market capitalization.
This is not expected, because mutual fund history in India, which dates back to 1964,
when the first open-ended mutual fund scheme Unit-64 was launches by Unit Trust of
India, is still dominated by it. The focus initially was income earning securities, with only
20 % of the Corpus going into equity. The early 80s saw other schemes like the growing
29
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
30/91
income, fixed income, and monthly income being introduced by the UTI. Bit it was only
in 1986 that the first pure Growth equity scheme Master share was launched.
1989-90 was another landmark year in the history of mutual funds. For the fist time, themonopoly of UTI over the industry was broken. The government allowed public sector
banks and insurance companies to enter this sector to bring in some competition.
But it was only in 1993, when the private sector was given the green signal to float mutual
funds, that excitement and competition came. Not only did the Government allowed
Indian companies to float mutual funds, it even allowed foreign funds to set in shop in
India and float funds. Thus, in one stroke, this sector was truly privatized.
Today there are about 12-14 private players in the market including foreign funds such as
Morgan Stanley, besides the nine public sector players and UTI. Together, these funds
have mobilized around Rs.6500 Crore from the market. The collections could have been
better, had not the public sector funds been busy complying with the SEBI guidelines
pertaining to the formation of asset management companies etc.
But the best is yet to come. A number of companies have plans to float mutual funds at
various stages of implementation. Some of the major names which are likely to come tothe market are Tata Sons in collaboration with Kleinwort Benson, ITC Classic with
Thread needle UR, Oppenheimer of US, plus a host of others. And according to
conservative guesstimates, mutual funds are set to collect over Rs.10000 Crore from the
market this year. The reason for such confidence is that with SEBI firm about the small
investor taking the mutual fund route to investments in the stock market, and the
regulatory changes making it much more difficult to get allotments in primary markets;
small investors will not be left with many opportunities.

Mutual Fund Industry in India
The mutual fund industry in India came into being in 1963 with the
setting up of the Unit Trust of India (UTI). In 1987, Public Sector Banks and Insurance
Companies opened their own mutual funds, thus starting the second phase in the growth
of the mutual funds industry. By the end of 1988, the industry's total assets under
management (AUM) reached Rs.67 billion. The industry registered a major milestone in
1993 when the first private sector player, the erstwhile Kothari Pioneer Mutual Fund (now
merged with Franklin Templeton), was set up. Since then, several international players
have also entered the fray. The industry has also witnessed a spate of mergers and
acquisitions, the most recent ones being the acquisition of Alliance Mutual by Birla Sun
Life, GIC Mutual by Canbank Mutual, and Sun F&C by Principal Mutual. While the
Indian mutual fund industry has grown in size by about 320% from March, 1993 (Rs470
billion) to December, 2004 (Rs1505 billion) in terms of AUM, the AUM of the sector
excluding UTI has grown over 8 times from Rs.152 billion in March 1999 to Rs.1295
billion as at December 2004.The latest phase in the industry's evolution began with the
bifurcation of UTI. The Indian mutual fund industry has grown by about 4.2 times from
1993 (Rs.470 billion) to 2005 (Rs.1992 billion) in terms of AUM. The private sector was
allowed entry to set up asset management companies in 1993. There was a brief period of
five years during which the asset growth was slow. The AUM for the mutual fund
industry started to grow rapidly after 1998. Between 1998 and 2005 the AUM of the
sector excluding UTI grew by over 15 times from Rs.114 billion in 1998 to Rs.1738
billion as at 2005. Though India is a minor player in the global mutual funds industry, its
AUM as a proportion of the global AUM has steadily increased, doubling from 1999
levels.

8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
47/91
RESEARCH
The term research can be defined as A Scientific and systematic search for pertinent
information on a specific topic. A research is a careful investigation or inquiry especially
through search for new fact in branch of knowledge. It is an increase in the existing stock
of knowledge making for advancement.Research methodology is the way to
systematically solve the research problem. Research methodology just does not deal with
research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods. It may be understood as
the science of studying how research is done scientifically and systematically. In it we
study the various steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in study of his
research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the research to
know the research method and technique. He must also clearly understand the procedure
would apply to problem given to him. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher
to design the methodology from problem to problem.

47
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
48/91
means that it is necessary for the researcher to design the methodology from problem to
problem.
So, the research methodologies adopted by the researcher in this project are as
follows:
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Review of related literature means researcher should undertake extensive literature
summary connected with the problem for this purpose, the abstracting and indexing
journals and published and unpublished bibliographies are the first place to go to.
Academic journals, conference, proceedings, government reports, books etc. must be
tapped depending on the nature of the problem. In this process, it should be remembered
that one source would lead to another. The earlier studies if any, which are similar to the
study in hand, should be carefully studied. A good library will be a great help to the
researcher at this stage.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
To study about the satisfaction of customer towards RELIANCE MUTUAL FUNDandawareness about new product.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
To study about the RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND and to take the feedback of their
existing customers and non existing customers through whom the RMF strengths and
weakness will be find out.
48
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
49/91
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
Primary Research Objective:--
To determine factors effecting investments and profiling investors of Raipur
Secondary Research Objectives:--
a. To determine factors that affects RELIANCE SIP+INSURES
PRODUCT investment
To study the Customers Satisfaction towards RMF.
To Find out the Awareness of New Product SIP + INSURE
To find out the feedback of existing customers of RMF Raipur.
To find out the feedback of non-existing customers of RMF.
To find out the strengths and weaknesses of RMF.
To find out the customers requirements.
UNIVERSE
Sum total of all the units that confirms to some designated part of specification is called universe.
While conducting the research work, researcher has selected Raipur city as the
universe. All the data which has been collected is completely done in the Raipur city.
SAMPLE
Large sample gives reliable result than small sample. However, it is not feasible to target
entire population or even a substantial portion to achieve a reliable result. So, in this
49
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
50/91
aspect selecting the sample to study is known as sample size. Hence, for my project my
sample size was 100.The Sample Size of 100 is not enough to draw a conclusion but as
per the time assigned it was difficult to take a sample size more than 100.The Sample Size
consist of both the Professional and Business class people. IT peoples, Doctors, Jewelers,
Timber Merchants & Real estate Agents are taken as Sample.
SAMPLE UNIT
Sample unit is the part of universe taken from the universe for testing hypothesis. Researcher has
taken the existing customers ofRELIANCE MUTUAL FUND and non-existing customers also.
SAMPLING METHOD
The researcher adopted the convenient sampling method. In this method the sampling unit
is chosen primarily on the basis of convenience to the investigators. In this type of
sampling the researcher selects the item for the sample deliberately; his choice concerning
the items remains supreme. In other words, under this sampling method the organizers of
the enquiry purposively choose the particular unit of the universe for constituting a sample
on the basis that the small mass that they select out of huge ones will be typical or
representative of the whole.
SOURCE OF DATA
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has defined .
50
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
51/91
INTERNAL SOURCES: -
These referred to the sources of information within the organization. In certain cases
internal sources are indispensable without which the researcher can not obtain desired
results. This source includes organization policies, marketing reports, and statistics in
relation to expenditures.
EXTERNAL SOURCES : -
These data can be divided into two categories.
(a) Primary Data.
(b) Secondary Data
Primary Data: -
This refers to information collected by the researcher from original sources. Primary
data is usually collected for specific purpose. The main sources from where the
primary data can be obtained.
(1)Dealers: - Valuable information can be collected with regards to the products and
vices from the dealers and retailers. Information about marketing polices of
competitors can also be gathered from the dealers.
(2)Users: - This source of collecting primary data is of utmost importance.
Representative samples of consumers may be selected for conducting thorough
investigation with regard to price, quality & Services.
51
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
52/91
Secondary Data: -
Data that already exists with in the organization, collected from the study of present organizational
structure, reporting system and various other sources is included in secondary data. Business
magazines and journals published periodically contain data, which is very useful for research.
The primary data are that, which are collected fresh and for the first time and thus happens to be
original in character. The secondary data on other hand are those which have already been
collected by someone else and which have already been passed through the statistical process.
So, while I conducting the research work, I have used the primary as well as
the secondary sources of data.
DATA COLLECTION TOOLS:
These are the tools that the researcher had used for collecting the datas:
QUESTIONNAIRE
The term questionnaire refers to a self administered process where by the respondent
himself /herself reads the questions and records his/her answers without any assistance ofan interviewer. Although the instrument is essentially question asking and data gathering
tool. A questionnaire is more structured and standardized. The questionnaire consists of a
number of questions printed or typed in a definite order on a form or a set of forms. This
method of data collection is quite popular in case of big enquiries.
52
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
53/91
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE
Percentage method technique of central tendency was used by researcher in the analysis of
the data in his research. Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentages are used
in making comparisons between two or more series of data. Percentages are used to
describe relationships. Percentages can also be used to compare the relative terms the
distribution of two or more series of data. Measures of central tendency tell us the point
about which items have a tendency to cluster. Such a measure is considered as the most
representative figure for the entire mass of data. Measure of central tendency is also
known as Statistical Average.
53

EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT
It is the very importance step in the research process. According to it, findings depend
upon how systematically the study has been cased out in time so that it can make some
sense when required. I have executed the project after prior discussion with the guide and
structure in following steps:
1. Preparation of questionnaire
2. Collection of list of some of the chick interview of the customer so that more
interview is possible and the variety of responses can be reposted to have a good
data for analysis.
3. Visiting the customers and asking them about the service they all availing from
RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND. Try to find out the satisfaction level with the
existing.

ADVANTAGES OF SIP:
NO NEED TO TIME THE MARKET
Imagine, if you could always pick the right time to buy & sell. However,timing the market is a time consuming & risky task. Through disciplined, regular
investments you can stop worrying about when & how much to invest.
In short, it eliminates the need to actively track the markets.
LOWER COST PER UNIT
Since your investments are spread regularly over a period of time, buyingfewer units during rising markets & buying more units during falling markets
reduces the average cost per unit of your investments-this concept is known as
Rupee cost averaging.
ILLUSTRATION - Rupee cost averaging.
Say you have opted for Reliance Systematic Investment Plan, Investing
Rs.100 every month from April 2008 to September 2008 in a diversified equity fund.
DATE NAV(Rs.) UNITS AMOUNT (Rs.)
12/4/08 80.52 1.24 100

Total 475.75 7.60 600
Avg cost 78.91
Avg price 79.29
Average cost = total cash outflow/total no. of units
58
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
59/91
= 600/7.60 = Rs.78.91
Average price = sum of all NAVs at which you have invested / no. of month of
Investments =475.75/6 =Rs.79.29
POWER OF COMPOUNDING
The power of compounding underlines the essence of making money work if
only invested at an early age. The longer one delays in investing, the greater the
financial burden to meet desired goals. Saving a small sum of money regularly at an
early age makes money work with greater power of compounding with significant
impact on wealth accumulation.
CONVENIENCE
SIP can be operated by simply providing post dated cheques with the
completed enrolment form or give ECS instructions. The cheques can be banked on
the specified dates and the units credited into the investor's account. The SIP facility
is available in the Principal Income Fund, Monthly Income Plan, Child Benefit
Fund, Balanced Fund, Index Fund, Growth Fund, Equity fund and Tax Savings
Fund.
TENSION-FREE INVESTMENT
Management of the fund by the professionals or experts is one of the key
advantages of investing through a mutual fund. They regularly carry out extensive
research - on the company, the industry and the economy - thus ensuring informed
investment.
Secondly, they regularly track the market. Thus for many of us who do not have the
desired expertise and are too busy with our vocation to devote sufficient time and effort
to investing in equity, mutual funds offer an attractive alternative. There for it is tension
free investment.
DIVERSIFICATION
59
8/7/2019 mutual fund .com
60/91
Another advantage of investing through mutual funds is that even with small
amounts we are able to enjoy the benefits of diversification. Huge amounts would be
required for an individual to achieve the desired diversification, which would not be
possible for many of us.
ITS WELL REGULATED
The mutual fund industry is well regulated both bySEBI(Securities and
Exchange Board of India) andAMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India). They have,
over the years, introduced regulations, which ensure smooth and transparent
functioning of the mutual funds industry.
You can change mutual fund time by time, switch in different mutual fund, this is one of
the big profit.
HELPS TO FULFIL OUR DREAMS
The investments we make are ultimately for some objectives such as to buy a
house, children's education, marriage etc. And many of them require a huge one-
time investment.
As it would usually not be possible raise such large amounts at short notice, we needto build the corpus over a longer period of time, through small but regular
investments. This is what SIP is all about. Small investments, over a period of time,
result in large wealth and help fulfill our dreams & aspirations.
Now think for the investment and select best mutual fund. Happy Investing.

Findings of Exploratory Research
Its conducted In-depth interviews under which 15 respondents
from various industries were interviewed to get market insights about investment patternsof profit. Accordingly, we got some other variables than we thought of like Profit parkingpatterns & awareness about investment options. As far as this research is concernedsecondary data is not required & will be of no relevance because no such research isconducted in Chhattisgarh and other States data will be of no use.
Weights given to those new variables were significant compared to theother variables. Hence, we have taken them to account. In-depth interviews also validated& ranked variables suggested by us and Management.
Now after exploratory research we have given following weight to different variables:

LIMITATIONS:
Every work has its own limitation. Limitations are extent to which the process
should not exceed. Limitations of this project are:-
1. Duration of Project was not enough to make a conclusion on such a vast subject
time Constraint has become a big limitation.
2. The Sample Size being taken for drawing a conclusion was too small to get an
accurate result.
3. Changing the Mentality of people for investing in a particular Financial Product is
a very difficult task.
4. Some consumers may presented their biased opinion (because of good or bad
experience they had with the company), which put hindrance in the interpretation.
All the above mentioned statements are the limitations of the project .Time; Sample
Size & Mentality of investor are the main limitations of the project. The study is being
done by taking and keeping all the limitations in mind. The project is completed in
prescribed time. To find the Investors Perception about Reliance sip + insure and the
84

Sample Size is not at all enough because the population size is much bigger than the
sample size and the last limitation was to change the mentality of the investor to invest
in a particular type of the Investment Product. As the Indian Market has a large
number of potential customers to draw a conclusion in such a small size may not be
reliable.
SUGGESTIONS:
Product promotion and communication strategy by advertisement in business
magazines and commercials.
Clients satisfaction by maintaining proper and regular contacts with the
customers.
AMC should conduct more surveys in order to get proper feedbacks from
customers either through group interview & personal observation methods.
AMC should create in awareness level to explain the customers the benefits of SIP
+ INSURE.
This can be done by arranging in house workshop or by external program at a
public place to educate people about the nature, benefits & importance of
Investing.
