PREFACE
Investing money where the risk is less has always been risky to decide. The
first factor, which an investor would like to see before investing, is risk factor.
Diversification of risk gave birth to the phenomenon called Mutual Fund.
We are preparing comprehensive report of Mutual Fund industry in India. The

basic idea of assignment of this project is to augment our knowledge about
the industry in its totality and appreciate the use of an integrated loom. It is
concerned the environmental issues and tribulations. This makes us more
conscious about Industry and its pose and makes us capable of analyzing
Industry’s position in the competitive market. This may also enhance our
logical abilities.
The Mutual Fund Industry is in the growing stage in India, which is evident
from the flood of mutual funds offered by the Banks, Financial Institutes &
Private Financial Companies.
There are various aspects, which have been studied in detail in the project
and have been added to this project report.
Hope this report would help one understand the mutual Industry of India in
detail.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a part of my study curriculum it is necessary to conduct a grand project. It

provides us an opportunity to understand the particular topic in depth and
which leads to through to that topic. My topic for the grand project is titled as
“Portfolio management in mutual funds performance” in which emphasis given
to the study of different mutual funds in respect to the risk and return involved
in it.
Since mutual funds are a relatively recent phenomenon in India, general

public or investors don’t have clarity about this concept. As we have started
witnessing the concept of more saving now being entrusted to the funds than
to keeping it in banks. So it is very important to manage investor’s portfolio
efficiently. By efficient we mean which reduces the risk of investor and
increases return on the other hand.
This project is all about how to manage an investor’s portfolio in mutual fund.
How to diversify the investments into different schemes of funds. To manage
client’s portfolio efficiently we first need to understand the industry, current
economic condition of the economy, investor’s behavior, their objective, risk
apatite.
This report has divided into two phases. First phase covered investor’s
portfolio part where we have included, Introduction of mutual funds, Indian
mutual fund industry, Investment options available with individuals and at last
techniques of managing a client’s portfolio in mutual funds.
Second phase of the report covered scheme’s portfolio part, where we have
compared HDFC Equity Fund and HDFC Core & Satellite Fund with their
competitors. It also included fund’s portfolio part where we have given
information about the different funds available to investor for investment

INTRODUCTION
Economic liberalization and globalization of the Indian markets began in 1991.

This meant that the Indian consumers had access to imported goods which
resulted in fall of prices of domestic goods due to high competition. This also
meant that lower interest rates and more importantly transfer of risk from
government to the individuals, forcing them to protect their investments them
self.
Investors have variety of options for investments. Some of them are providing
fixed rate of returns are some of them provide variable rate of returns. Many
had investments with UTI, Company fixed deposits, and Bank fixed deposits
that were offering high returns that now they are starting falling after
globalization and liberalization.
There are some investors who are active. They are the ones who act promptly
and make educated, informed decisions about market. They done their own
research and understand the factors which may have effect on their
investments in future. On the other hand some investors who are
apprehensive and will take action only when they can see tangible merits on
the change.
As every individual is different, their objectives behind investments also differ
from person to person. Their objectives can for fixed return, capital
appreciation, tax planning or current income. The investment decision will
mainly depend upon the objective of investor. He or she needs to design their
portfolio according to their risk and return profile. The individual should start
by specifying investment goals. Once these goals are established, the
individual should be aware of the mechanics of investing and the environment
in which investment decision are made. These include the process by which
securities are issued and subsequently bought and sold, the regulations and
tax laws that have been enacted by various levels of government, and the
sources of information concerning investment that are available to the
individuals.
Designing a portfolio is not simple task. Ones individual has decided about the
type of investment then he or she needs to decide portfolio in that category.
There are various ways of maintaining portfolio of individual.
Phase I
Investor’s Portfolio
What is an Investment?
An investment is the use of capital to create more money through the
acquisition of a security that promise the safety of the principal and generate a
reasonable return.

1. Fixed Return Options

Under fixed return investments, investor will get fixed return on their
investments. The rate of return is pre decided at the time of investment. Rate
of return can be calculated on per annum basis or at completion of particular
time period.
a. Post Office Monthly Income Scheme:
In this scheme an investment can be made by individuals in single or joint

names maximum of Rs. 6 lakhs (Rs.3 lakhs per person) with an interest of 8%
p.a. in a monthly income scheme. This will give you Rs. 4000/- per month if
you invested the maximum amount. In addition, this investment will fetch you
a taxable bonus of 10% on the deposit maturity (i.e. after 6 years)
b. Other Post Office Scheme

Kisan Vikas Patra:
Money can be doubled in 8 years and 7 months. There is no upper limit on

the amount that you invest. There are no tax benefits for the investments
made under this scheme. The rate of interest works out to a compounded
annual return of about 8.4%. There are no tax deductions at source and
banks loans are available against Kisan Vikas Patra. Interest is paid at
maturity and cannot be claimed prior to maturity.
Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (2004):
As per the 2004-2005 budgets, the Government has announced a new

Senior Citizen Savings Scheme. It has been launched only through
designated Post Offices from the 2nd August, 2004. it for the individuals who
have attained the age of 60 years or above on the date of opening of an
account or who have attained the age of 55 years or more but less than 60
years, and who have retired under Voluntary Retirement scheme or a Special
Voluntary Retirement scheme on the date of opening of an account. The main
feature of the scheme is that is carries an interest of 9% p.a. (taxable) on the
deposits. Deposits can be a minimum of Rs. 1000 and maximum of Rs. 15
lakhs, to be held for a period of 5 years and extendable for further 3 years. It
can also be prematurely withdrawn after one year with some deductions.
Interest qualifies for deduction u/s 80L.
c. Public Provident Fund:
The rate of public provident fund is 8.5% p.a. currently. This is basically a
long term investment opportunities (maturity 15 year) as the entire amount
that is accumulated in this account can be withdrawn entirely only after 15
years. Partial withdrawal is allowed only after 5 years. Interest is exempt from
income tax and contributions are eligible for tax deductions.
d. Bank Fixed Deposits:
Bank fixed deposits yield will vary from bank to bank but they are more or less
streamlined. The yields are currently in the region of 5.5% to 6.5% per annum
for deposits ranging from 30 days to five years. All the schedule banks are
covered by DICGC (Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation)
which means that up to 1 lakh deposited in a bank per person is absolutely
safe and insured even if the bank collapse.

e. Government Security or Gilts:
Government security and gilts are totally secure. Government bonds are
issued by the government of India periodically. These are now available in the
secondary market through satellite dealers and banks. They are known to
yield 5% to 6% per annum. Interest exceeding Rs. 2500 is liable for TDS at
10.455%.
f. RBI Taxable Bonds:

g. Insurance:
There are several types of insurance policies available in the market today
through various players. Life insurance is the most sought after cover life it
also offer a tax benefit for the amount of premium paid in a particular year.
Though insurance is considered as expenditure, it became an investment
option.
The insurance policies available in the market are either pure insurance or a
combination of the three basic types of life insurance policies namely, Term,
Whole and Endowment. Term assurance policy is purely protection policy
with no investment elements. Whole life and Endowment policies are different
as a payout is certain in these policies. A Whole life policy pays out on the
death of the life assured, whenever that occurs and in Endowment policy pay
will be on maturity date or earlier death. There is one more type of insurance
policy is so popular these days is UNIT Link Insurance under which premium
amount will be invested in to equity market via mutual fund investment.
h. Company Fixed Deposits:
Company fixed deposits was a highly popular investment vehicle in the past.
In today’s changing scenario where the corporate world has access to
cheaper funds from sources all over the world, the rate of interest offered by
good companies make this a less attractive investment vehicle.
i. Infrastructure Bonds:
An infrastructure bond is a tax saving bond that was innovated in order to

provide funds for the development of the key infrastructure projects. Thus,
investors in these bonds apart from the material benefits in term of tax saving,
have the higher satisfaction of having contributed to the development of the
country’s infrastructure. The rate of return on such bonds is between 5 to
5.5%. The bonds have lock in period of 3 years.
2. Variable Return Options
a. Mutual Funds:
A mutual fund is a company that pools the money of many investors to invest
in a variety of different securities. Investment may be in stocks, bonds,
debentures, money market or combination of these. These securities are
professionally managed on the behalf of investor, by the fund manager.
b. Shares and the Stock Market:
An equity share is a certificate or a book entry that represents the single unit
of ownership in a company or its business. They are sold either directly by the
company or they can be acquired through broker from the stock market. By
purchasing a share of a company, an individual gets a ownership rights, right
to vote and share in the company’s future profits and losses.
Primary Market Investment in Equity (IPO)
The primary market is a place where the new offerings by companies are
made as an Initial Public Offering (IPO) IPO’s are offering made by the
company for the first time in the market. Such offers to the public can be at
par or can be at premium.
Secondary Market Investment in Equity:
The stock exchange is a place where buyers and sellers meet to trade in
shares in an organized manner. There are at present 26 recognized stock
exchanges in the country and are governed by security board of India (SEBI).
Derivative, Futures and Options:
Derivative is a contract/ product that has no independent value i.e. it derives

its value from the underlying assets. Underlying assets can be securities,
commodities, bullion, currency, livestock or any thing else. Through the use of
derivative product, an investor can transfer the price by locking in asset
prices.
c. Gold:
Of late, an inverse relationship between the dollar and gold has been in India.
The lower the dollar goes, the higher is the gold prices. Why does this
happen? The dollar is the international currency with nothing besides gold to
challenge it. Besides being a commodity, gold is a universally accepted form
of money. India is a net importer of gold. The domestic production is almost
negligible and India is the highest consumer of gold in the world.
d. Real estate:
Investment in real estate or property is a good long term investment for well-
heeled investors with a huge amount of money. Depending on the total
resources at your disposal, you can invest a part of it in property.
e. Foreign Exchange Asset:
Till January 2004, Indian residents’ investors were not allowed by our
exchange control rules to invest in foreign exchange assets.
Recently, the reserve bank of India has allowed residents to invest overseas
to the extent of an equivalent of US $ 25,000 per year. Now investor from
India can take advantage of any attractive investment opportunity overseas.
3. UNIT LINKED INSURANCE PLANS
Risks of investment in the Units of the Fund the Proposer / Life Assured
should be aware that the investment in the units is subject to the following
risks:
CashPlus is a Unit-Linked Insurance Policy (ULIP) and is different from
traditional products. Investments in ULIPs are subject to market risks. The
premium paid in Unit-Linked Life Insurance policies are subject to investments
risks associated with capital markets and debt markets; and the NAVs of the
units may fluctuate based on the performance of fund and factors influencing
the
Capital market; and the insured is responsible for his /her decisions. ICICI
Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and CashPlus are only names of
the company and the policy respectively and do not in any way indicate the
quality of the policy, its future prospects or returns. The investment in the
Fund is subject to market and other risks and there can be no assurance that
the objectives of the Fund will be achieved. The fund does not offer a
guaranteed or assured return.
CONCEPT OF MUTUAL FUNDS
A Mutual Fund is a body corporate that pools the savings of a number of

investors and invests the same in a variety of different financial instruments,
or securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital
appreciations realized by the scheme are shared by its unit holders in
proportion to the number of units owned by them. Mutual funds can thus be
considered as financial intermediaries in the investment business that collect
funds from the public and invest on behalf of the investors. The losses and
gains accrue to the investors only. The Investment objectives outlined by a
Mutual Fund in its prospectus are binding on the Mutual Fund scheme. The
investment objectives specify the class of securities a Mutual Fund can invest
in. Mutual Funds invest in various asset classes like equity, bonds,
debentures, commercial paper and government securities.
Mutual funds are commonly categorized by their general investment

objectives. Equity funds consist mainly of common stocks and are organized
primarily to achieve capital appreciation, or growth, rather than periodic
distribution of income. Bond funds, on the other hand, are composed
predominantly of corporate, Government, or municipal bonds and emphasize
regular income rather than growth. Income funds have the same objective as
bond funds but include Government National Mortgage Association securities,
Government securities, and common and preferred stocks as well as bonds.
Money market mutual funds consist of short-term instruments, such as
Government securities, bank CDs, and commercial paper. Short-term
municipal bond funds are composed predominantly of tax-exempt, short-term
municipal securities.
Types of Mutual Funds
Mutual Fund schemes may be classified on the basis of its structure and its
investments.
By Structure:
Open-End Funds:
 Available for sale and repurchase at all times based on the net asset
values
 Unit capital of the fund is not fixed
 Fund size and its total investment go up if more new subscriptions come
in than redemptions and vice versa.
Close-End Funds:
 One time sale of fixed number of units.

 Investors are not allowed to buy or redeem the units directly from the
funds. Some funds offer repurchase after a fixed period.
 Listed on stock exchange and investors can buy or sell units through
exchange. May be traded at a discount or premium to NAV based on
investor’s perception about the funds future performance and other
market factors.
A closed-end fund has a stipulated maturity period which generally
ranging from 3 to 15 years. The fund is open for subscription only during
a specified period. 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 they are listed. In order to
provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended 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.
Interval Funds:
Interval funds combine the features of open-ended and close-ended

schemes. They are open for sale or redemption during pre-determined
intervals at NAV related prices.
By Investment Objective:-
Money/Cash Market Funds:
Instruments having less then one year maturity;

 Treasury bills issued by government
 Certificates of deposit issued by governments
 Commercial paper issued by companies
 Inter bank call money
 Aim to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital and moderate
income.
Gilt Funds:
Securities maturity over a year;

 Invested in government securities are called dated securities
 Virtually zero risk of default it is backed by the government
 It is more sensitive to market interest rates
Debt/Income Funds:
 Investment in debt instruments issued not only by Government but also
by private companies, banks and financial institution and other entities
such as infrastructure companies.
 Target low risk and stable income for investors.
 Have higher price fluctuation as compared to money market funds due
to interest rate fluctuation.
 Have higher risk of default by borrowers as compared to Gilt funds.

 Debt funds can be categorized further based on their risk profiles.
 Carry both credit risk and interest rate risk.
Equity Funds:
 Invest a major portion of their surplus in equity shares issued by co s,
acquired directly in initial public offering or through secondary market
and keep a part in cash to take care of redemption.
 Risk is very high than debt funds but offer very high growth potential for
the capital.
 It can be further categorized based on investment strategy.
 It must have along term objectives.
Balanced Funds:
 Has a portfolio of debt instrument, convertible securities, preference
and equity shares.
 Almost equal proportion of debt/money market securities and equities.
Normally funds maintain a ratio of 55:45 or 60:40 some funds allocate
a flexible proportion based on market conditions.
 Aim is to gain income, capital appreciation and preservation of capital.
 Ideal for investors for a conservative and long term orientation.
Load Funds:
A Load Fund is one that charges a commission for entry or exit. That
is, each time you buy or sell units in the fund, a commission will be
payable. Typically entry and exit loads range from 1% to 2%. It could
be worth paying the load, if the fund has a good performance history.
No-Load Funds:
A no-Load Fund is one that does not charge a commission for entry or
exit. That is, no commission is payable on purchase or sale of units in
the fund. The advantage of a no load fund is that the entire corpus is
put to work.
Other Schemes:-
Tax saving Schemes

These schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under specific
provisions of the Indian Income Tax laws as the Government offers tax
incentives for investment in specified avenues. Investments made in
Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) and pension Schemes are
allowed as deduction u/s 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Act also
provides opportunities to investors to save capital gains u/s 54EA by
investing in Mutual Funds, provided the capital asset has been sold
prior to April 1, 2000 and the amount is invested before September 30,
2000.
Special Schemes:-
 Industry Specific Schemes

Industry Specific Schemes invest only in the industries specified in the
offer document. The investment of these funds is limited to specific
industries like InfoTech, FMCG and Pharmaceuticals etc.
 Index Schemes
Index Funds attempt to replicate the performance of a particular index
such as the BSE Sense or the NSE 50
 Sector Schemes
Sector Funds are those, which invest exclusively in a specified industry

or a group of industries or various segments such as 'A' Group shares
or initial public offerings.
Different styles of Mutual Funds
Different Mutual Funds have very different investing styles. These styles are a
function of the individuals managing the fund with the overall investment
objectives and policies of the organization acting as a constraint. These are
manifest in things like:-
Portfolio turnover – Buy and hold strategy versus frequent investment

changes.
Kind of investments made – small versus large companies, multi baggers

(investments which yield high gains) versus percentage players (investing in
shares which will give small gains in line with the market), high quality – low
yield bonds versus low quality – high yield bonds.
Asset allocations – Varying percentage of cash depending on aggressive

views on markets
The following examples serve to illustrate a few styles of equity fund

managers:
Some fund managers are passive value seekers and some are value
creators. The former type buys undervalued assets and patiently waits for the
market to discover the value. The latter aggressively promote the undervalued
stocks that they have bought.
Some fund managers restrict themselves to liquid stocks while some thrive on
illiquid stocks which offer themselves easily to large price changes.
Some fund managers are masters of the momentum game and seek to buy
stocks that are in market fancy. They attach lesser importance to
fundamentals and believe that a rising stock price and favorable momentum
indicators imply that fundamentals are changing. In effect, they are following
the philosophy, "The trend is my friend". Other fund managers go more by
deep fundamental analysis completely ignoring price movements. They do not

mind price going down and are in fact happy to buy more.
Some fund managers are growth investors i.e. they buy stocks with a high P/E
using the forecasted growth to justify the high valuation. Others are value
investors who buy shares with low P/E or P/BV multiples - typically companies
rich with undervalued assets.
Process of Mutual Fund
In the above graph shows how Mutual Fund works and how investor earns
money by investing in the Mutual Fund. Investors put their saving as an
investment in Mutual Fund. The Fund Manager who is a person who takes the
decisions where the money should be invested in securities according to the
scheme’s objective. Securities include Equities, Debentures, Govt. Securities,
Bonds, and Commercial Paper etc. These Securities generates returns to the
Fund Manager. The Fund Manager passes back return to the investor.
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV)

The net asset value of the fund is the cumulative market value of the assets
fund net of its liabilities. In other words, if the fund is dissolved or liquidated,
by selling off all the assets in the fund, this is the amount that the
shareholders would collectively own. This gives rise to the concept of net
asset value per unit, which is the value, represented by the ownership of one
unit in the fund. It is calculated simply by dividing the net asset value of the
fund by the number of units. However, most people refer loosely to the NAV
per unit as NAV, ignoring the "per unit". We also abide by the same
convention.
Calculation of NAV
The most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the assets owned
by the fund. Once it is calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of assets
divided by the number of units outstanding. The detailed methodology for the
calculation of the asset value is given below.
Asset value is equal to
Sum of market value of shares/debentures
+ Liquid assets/cash held, if any
+ Dividends/interest accrued
Amount due on unpaid assets

Expenses accrued but not paid
Details on the above items
For liquid shares/debentures, valuation is done on the basis of the last or

closing market price on the principal exchange where the security is traded.
For illiquid and unlisted and/or thinly traded shares/debentures, the value has
to be estimated. For shares, this could be the book value per share or an
estimated market price if suitable benchmarks are available. For debentures
and bonds, value is estimated on the basis of yields of comparable liquid
securities after adjusting for illiquidity. The value of fixed interest bearing
securities moves in a direction opposite to interest rate changes Valuation of
debentures and bonds is a big problem since most of them are unlisted and
thinly traded. This gives considerable leeway to the AMCs on valuation and
some of the AMCs are believed to take advantage of this and adopt flexible
valuation policies depending on the situation.
Interest is payable on debentures/bonds on a periodic basis say every 6

months. But, with every passing day, interest is said to be accrued, at the
daily interest rate, which is calculated by dividing the periodic interest
payment with the number of days in each period. Thus, accrued interest on a
particular day is equal to the daily interest rate multiplied by the number of
days since the last interest payment date.
Usually, dividends are proposed at the time of the Annual General meeting
and become due on the record date. There is a gap between the dates on
which it becomes due and the actual payment date. In the intermediate
period, it is deemed to be "accrued". Expenses including management fees,
custody charges etc. are calculated on a daily basis.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
People have different investment objective and risk appetite so to get the
highest returns asset allocation through active portfolio management is the
key element.
Asset allocation is a method that determines how you divide your portfolio
among different investment instruments and provides you with the proper
blend of various asset classes.
It is based on the theory that the type or class of security you own equity, debt
or money market- is more important than the particular security itself. In other
words asset allocation is way to control risk in your portfolio. Different asset
class will react differently to market conditions like inflation, rising or falling
interest rates or a market segment coming into or falling out of favor.
Asset allocation is different from simple diversification. Suppose you diversify
your equity portfolio by investing in five or ten equity funds. You really have
not done much to control risk in your portfolio if all these funds come from only
one particular segment of the market say large cap stocks or mid cap stocks.
In case of an adverse reaction for that segment, all the funds will react
similarly means they will go down.
If you build your portfolio with various top performing growth funds without
really bothering to analyze their portfolio allocation, you may end up with over-
exposure to a particular segment. Another point you need to remember is that
growth funds are highly correlated- they tend to move in the same direction in
response to a given market force.
The advantage of asset allocation lies in achieves superior returns when

markets are down while minimizing the exposure of the portfolio to volatility. In
fact, asset allocation is based on certain dimensions that, when combined
tend to control the volatility while achieving targeted returns.
Portfolio Management Process
Portfolio management is a complex activity, which may be broken down into

the following steps:
1. Specification of investment objectives and constraints:
The typical objectives sought by an investor are current income, capital

appreciation, safety, fixed returns on principal investment.
2. Choice of asset mix:
The most important decision in portfolio management is the asset mix

decision. This is concerned with the proportions of “Stock” or “
Units” of mutual fund or “Bond” in the portfolio. The appropriate mix of
Stock and Bonds will depend upon the risk tolerance and investment
horizon of the investor.
3. Formulation of portfolio strategy:
Once the certain asset mix has been chosen an appropriate portfolio
strategy has to be decided out. Two broad portfolio choices are available
An active portfolio management: it strive to earn superior risk adjusted
returns by resorting to market timing, or sector rotation or security
selection or some combination of these.
A passive portfolio management involves holding a broadly diversified
portfolio and maintaining a pre-determined level of risk exposure.
Designing a model Portfolio

There are certain objectives that should keep in mind while designing a
portfolio these are:
 Higher absolute rate of return and high real rate of return

 Maximization current income
 High post tax returns
 Positive real return
 Preservation of capital
 Growth in capital
For my study I am making three dummy portfolios for three different kinds of
investors.
Types of Investor:
1. Cautious Investor:
It’s kind of investor who is less bothers about high returns. He wants to
lower down his risk profile and demand for fixed income on his
investment. His main objective of investment is fixed returns with less
risk.
2. Balanced Investor:
It’s a kind of investor who is bothers about returns as well as risk. He
wants moderate returns with moderate risk.
3. Aggressive Investor:
It’s a kind of investor who is ready to take risk. He believes in high risk
and high returns. So he only wants to invest in equity schemes.
I have made an assumption that each investor want to invest 5 Lakh Rs.
Portfolio for Cautious Investor

Investment Instrument Amount Returns
Kisan Vikas Patra 1,50,000 Rs. 8.4% p.a.
PPF 70,000 Rs. 8.5% p.a.
Bank Fixed Deposits 1,00,000 Rs. 6.5% p.a.
NSC 80,000 Rs. 8.16% p.a.
Post office monthly MIP 1,00,000 Rs. 8% p.a.
TOTAL 5,00,000 Rs.
Logic behind selection of particular Instrument:

As investor does not want to take risk, he is satisfied with fixed return rather
they are less than equity investment’s returns. So I took thus instrument which
provides good return as well as secure also. All of these instruments will give
him return around 8% annually.
Portfolio for Balance Investor

HDFC Prudence Fund 1,30,000 Rs. 54.2% p.a.
Reliance Vision Fund 1,00,000 Rs. 78.3% p.a.
Bank Fixed Deposits 1,00,000 Rs. 6.5% p.a.
PPF 70,000 Rs. 8.5% p.a.
Kisan Vikas Patra 1,00,000 Rs. 8.4% p.a.
TOTAL 5,00,000 Rs.
Logic behind selection of particular Instrument:
As investor does not want to take high risk, he is satisfied with fixed return
plus some equity exposure. But he wants some safety in equity exposure
also. So I took thus instrument which provides good return as well as safety
also. Fixed return instruments like PPF, Bank FD and kisan viaks patra will
give him return around 8% annually and I suggest Balance kind of funds to
him where he will have exposure of both equity as well as debts. HDFC
prudence fund is best performing fund under balance scheme. To increase
the ratio of equity in portfolio I suggested Reliance vision fund which is mainly
based on large and mid cap companies.
Portfolio for Aggressive Investor

HDFC Core & Satellite Fund 1,30,000 Rs. 83.56% p.a.
Prudential ICICI Emerging Star 90,000 Rs. 93.3% p.a.
Fund
Franklin Flexi Cap Fund 1,10,000 Rs. 86.25% p.a.
Fidelity Equity Fund 80,000 Rs. 82.4% p.a.
DSP Top 100 90,000 Rs. 79.28% p.a.
TOTAL 5,00,000 Rs.
Logic behind selection of particular Instrument :
As investor ready to take high risk, he is looking for high returns on his
investment. I took thus instrument which provides good return. All of these
instruments will give him return around 80% annually. Currently Mid cap
companies will perform better than large cap companies so, I select more
funds which are focusing on mid cap companies like HDFC, Franklin’s funds.
To take the benefit of increasing Sensex I took DSP top 100.
MEASUREMENT OF RETURNS ON PORTFOLIOS
The realized rate of return will be calculated by

1. Time Weighted Rate of Return (TWROR)
It is calculated by using Dietz Algorithm
Ri= [(Pi-0.5Ci)/ (Po+0.5Ci)-1}*100
Po= Portfolio value at the beginning of the period
Pi= Portfolio value at the end of the period
Ci= Net contributions during time interval
Ri= Rate of Return for the time interval

Phase II
Scheme Portfolio
Scheme Portfolio:
Like investors portfolio different scheme under mutual fund have different
portfolio. By scheme portfolio we mean portfolio or companies in which fund
manager invested the fund. The selection of companies depend upon many
issue which have great impact in current scenario as well as in near future.
Fund manager has to do lot of research before investing into particular script.
Before going into detail one should understand Sensex movement. Mutual
fund returns are based on Sensex. Their Net Asset Value is directly related to
Share market. The below table shown the Sensex change on monthly basis.
Means what is % change in Sensex during one month.

Sensex has boomed with lots of ups and down from last year. It seems very
fluctuating.
For my study purpose I have taken HDFC Equity Fund and HDFC Core &
Satellite Fund. What is their portfolio means in which companies the fund
manager invested the fund. How he has allocated funds among various
industries as well as various companies. After studying both the fund’s
portfolio I compare them with reliance Growth fund, Prudential ICICI Growth
Fund, DSP Tiger Fund and Kotak Opportunity Fund. Comparison is based on
per month returns and Sensex returns during the same period.

CONCLUSION
The performance of mutual funds in India in the initial phase was not even
closer to satisfactory level. People rarely understood, and of course investing
was out of question. But yes, some 24 million shareholders were accustomed
with guaranteed high returns by the beginning of liberalization of the industry
in 1992. This good record of UTI became marketing tool for new entrants. The
expectations of investors touched the sky in profitability factor. However,
people were miles away from the preparedness of risks factor after the
liberalization.
The annual composite rate of growth is expected 13.4% during the rest of the
decades. In the last 5 years we have seen annual growth rate of 9%.
According to the current growth rate, by year 2010, mutual fund assets will be
double.
The government is also helping in boosting mutual fund industry. Government

is emphasizing a lot on infrastructure development and social spending and
yet targeting a lower fiscal deficit. FIIs continued to be positive on emerging
markets in general and the Indian markets in particular. FIIs buying have
considerable portion in mutual funds buying.
Key Points:
 Almost 100% growth in the last 6 years.(excepting 2008)
 Our saving rate is over 30%, highest in the world. Only channel zing
these savings in mutual funds sector is required.
 We have some 70 mutual funds which are much less than US having
more than 800. There is a big scope for expansion.
 'B' and 'C' class cities are growing rapidly. Today most of the mutual
funds are concentrating on the 'A' class cities. Soon they will find scope
in the growing cities.
 SEBI allowing the MFs to launch commodity mutual funds.
 This year budget has increased the limit of investment in overseas
market by mutual funds to 33-35%.
 During last financial year investment habit of India has increased by
25 % and it is expected to grow by 30 % this year.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Studying the mutual fund industry I came to know that there are more then
700 types of funds available in the market. What I see that most of the fund
managers who are investing in equity market are putting their funds into large
cap funds which is of course more secure but it is giving less return to the
investors. i thought of preparing my own portfolio by investing 25 percent in
money market and the rest of the 75 percent in mid cap equity To provide
investors with opportunities for long term growth in capital along with the
liquidity of an open ended scheme by investing predominantly in a well
diversified basket of equity stocks of companies and in debt and money
market instruments.. The portfolio is mentioned below:-

class room training like looking at the stock market terminal and
analyzing the stocks and thereby deducing about their
performance and thus designing the portfolio on the basis of their
performances. I want to share some of experience or learning with
you.
