&utual funds are financial intermediaries, which collect the savings of investors and invest them in a large and well-diversified portfolio of securities such as mone$ mar(et instruments, corporate and government bonds and equit$ shares of )oint stoc( companies.
&utual funds are conceived as institutions for providing small investors with avenues of investments in the capital mar(et. +ince small investors generall$ do not have adequate time, (nowledge, e,perience and resources for directl$ accessing the capital mar(et, the$ have to rel$ on an intermediar$, which underta(es informed investment decisions and provides consequential benefits of professional e,pertise. The raison d-.tre of mutual funds is their abilit$ to bring down the transaction costs. The advantages for the investors are reduction in ris(, e,pert professional management, diversified portfolios, and liquidit$ of investment and ta, benefits. /$ pooling their assets through mutual funds, investors achieve economies of scale. The advantage that such a investing logic offers to an individual investor is the advantage of scale. collected corpus can be used to procure a diversified portfolio, indicating greater returns as also create economies of scale through cost reduction. This principle has been effective world-wide as more and more investors are going the mutual fund wa$. This portfolio diversification ensures ris( minimi%ation. The criticalit$ of such a measure comes in when $ou factor in the fluctuations that characteri%e stoc( mar(ets. The interests of the investors are protected b$ the +E/0, which acts as a watchdog. &utual funds are governed b$ the +E/0 "&utual 'unds# 1egulations, 1223.

UT0 has an e,tensive mar(eting networ( of over 3?, 999 agents spread over the countr$. The UT0 scrips have performed relativel$ well in the mar(et, as compared to the +ense, trend. @owever, the same cannot be said of all mutual funds. ll &'s are allowed to appl$ for firm allotment in public issues. +E/0 regulates the functioning of mutual funds, and it requires that all &'s should be established as trusts under the 0ndian Trusts ct.

The end of millennium mar(s 34 $ears of e,istence of mutual funds in this countr$. The ride through these 34 $ears is not been smooth. 0nvestors opinion is still divided. Bhile some are for mutual funds others are against it. UT0 commenced its operation fom )ul$ 1245. The impetus for establishing a formal institution came from the desire to increase the propensit$ of the middle and lower groups to save and to invest. UT0 came into e,istence during a period mar(ed b$ great political and economic uncertainit$ in 0ndia. Bith was on the borders and economic turmoil that depressed the financial mar(et, entrepreneurs were hesitant to enter capital mar(et. Though the growth was slow, /ut it accelerated from the $ear 12:;, when non- UT0 pla$ers entered the industr$. 0n the past decade, 0ndian mutual fund industr$ had seen a dramatic improvement, both qualities wise as well as quantit$ wise. /efore, the U& to 1s.5;9bn in monopol$ of the mar(et had seen an ending phaseC the ssent under &anagement" U&# was 1s.4;bn.

90<*ALANCED FUND
53
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as such schemes invest both in equities and fi,ed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. These are appropriate for investors loo(ing for moderate growth. The$ generall$ invest 59-49E in equit$ and debt instruments. These funds are also affected because of fluctuations in share prices in the stoc( mar(ets. @owever, N !s of such funds are li(el$ to be less volatile compared to pure equit$ funds.
90AGILT FUND
These funds invest e,clusivel$ in government securities. 6overnment securities have no default ris(. N !s of these schemes also fluctuate due to change in interest rates and other economic factor as is the case with income or debt oriented schemes.

N !s of such schemes would rise or fall in accordance with the rise or fall in the inde,, though not e,actl$ b$ the same percentage due to some factors (nown as Rtrac(ing errorR in technical terms. Necessar$ disclosures in this regard are made in the offer document of the mutual fund scheme. There are also e,change traded inde, funds launched b$ the mutual funds, which are traded on the stoc( e,changes.

The higher the fluctuations in the returns of a fund during a given period, higher will be the ris( associated with it. These fluctuations in the returns generated b$ a fund are resultant of two guiding forces.

The Total R#!, of a given fund is sum of these two and is measured in terms of !tandard d /#at#on of returns of the fund. +$stematic ris(, on the other hand, is measured in terms of * ta, which represents fluctuations in the N ! of the fund vis-Wvis mar(et.

Henson's model proposes another ris( ad)usted performance measure. This measure was developed b$ &ichael Henson and is sometimes referred to as the 7ifferential 1eturn ðod.

The net selectivit$ represents the stoc( selection s(ill of the fund manager, as it is the e,cess return over and above the return required to compensate for the total ris( ta(en b$ the fund manager. @igher value of which indicates that fund manager has earned returns well above the return commensurate with the level of ris( ta(en b$ him. 1equired return can be calculated asC R# M Rf N S#)S(OER( ' Rf7 Bhere, S( is standard deviation of mar(et returns. The net selectivit$ is then calculated b$ subtracting this required return from the actual return of the fund. mong the above performance measures, two models namel$, Tre$nor measure and Henson model use s$stematic ris( based on the premise that the uns$stematic ris( is diversifiable. These models are suitable for large investors li(e institutional investors with high ris( ta(ing capacities as the$ do not face paucit$ of funds and can invest in a number of options to dilute some ris(s.
