Objectives of Study
Without any aim or objective, no activity can exist, in the same direction of preparation of this report on HDFC assets Management Company limited. In different functional areas & research on the mutual fund awareness in retail investors of HDFC assets Management Company limited in Surat is based on the following objectives: -

1. My primary objective is to acquire primary functions of management like Planning, Organizing, Directing and controlling from various functional areas such as Finance, Human Resource, Marketing, and Sales etc. 2. Whatever we are taught in the classrooms, there is a limitation that book can only give theoretical concept or knowledge and it has a limited view of practically. So, the other important objective of this training is to know about practical aspect and to know how a company actually works in practical situation. 3. To know the mutual fund awareness level of the retail investors who are invest in HDFC assets Management Company limited.

Limitations of Study
There is no activity without any limitations. 1. Though every one used to be very co-operative but every detail was unable to be disclosed to me as the officials has to maintain secrets of the company. 2. It is difficult to cover all the function of the company. 3. The analysis and conclusion made by me as per my limited understanding and there may be something variation in the actual situation. 4. Because of the limited time period, the survey work was conducted in the Surat region and the sample size was taken as 100 respondents only. 5. In this rapidly changing turbulent era the suggestions and recommendations drawn out today might prove inadequate or improper tomorrow; this is likely to limit its effectiveness.

FUTURE SCENARIO

31

 The asset base will continue to grow at an annual rate of about 35 to 40% over the next five year as investors shift their assets from banks and other traditional avenues. Some of the older public and private sector players will either close shop or be taken over. Out of ten public players five will sell out, close down or merge with stronger player in three to four years. In the private sector this trend has already started with two mergers and one take over. Here too some of them will down their shutters in the near future to come. But this does not mean that there is no room for other players. The

market will witness a flurry of new players entering the areas. There will be a large no. of offers from various asset management companies in the time to come, some big names like Principle, SBI, Fidelity, old mutual etc are looking at Indian market seriously. One important reason for it is that most major players have presence here and hence these big names would hardly like to get left behind. The mutual fund industry is awaiting the introduction of derivatives in India as this would enable it to hedge its risk and this in turn would be reflected in its Net Asset Value (NAV). SEBI is working out the norms for enabling the existing mutual fund schemes to trade in derivatives. Importantly, many market players have called on the Regular to initiate the process immediately, so that the mutual funds can implement the changes that are required to trade in Derivatives.

INDUSTRY DETAILS

Introduction

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is invested by the fund manager in different types of securities depending upon the objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to debentures to money market instruments. 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. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed portfolio at a relatively low cost.

Anybody with an investible surplus of as little as a few thousand rupees can invest in Mutual Funds. Each Mutual Fund scheme has a defined investment objective and strategy.

A Mutual Fund is the ideal investment vehicle for todays complex and modern financial scenario. Markets for equity shares, bonds and other fixed income instruments, real estate, derivatives and other assets have become mature and information driven. Price changes in these assets are driven by global events occurring in faraway places. A typical individual is unlikely to have the knowledge, skills, inclination and time to keep track of events, understand their implications and act speedily. An individual also finds it difficult to keep track of ownership of his assets, investments, brokerage dues and bank transactions etc.

34

A Mutual Fund is the answer to all these situations. It appoints professionally qualified and experienced staff that manages each of these functions on a full time basis. The large pool of money collected in the fund allows it to hire such staff at a very low cost to each investor.

In effect, the Mutual Fund vehicle exploits economies of scale in all three areas research, investments and transaction processing. While the concept of individuals coming together to invest money collectively is not new, the mutual fund in present form is a 20th century phenomenon. In fact, mutual funds gained popularity only after the Second World War. Globally, there are thousands of firms offering tens of thousands of mutual funds with different investment objectives. Today, Mutual Funds collectively manage almost as much as or more money as compared to banks.

History of Mutual Fund Industry

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. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases

First phase 1964-87 (Monopoly of UTI)

An Act of Parliament established Unit Trust of India (UTI) on 1963. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6, 700 crores of assets under management.

Second Phase 1987-93 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)

1987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the first non- UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987 followed by Canbank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), and Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its mutual fund in December 1990. At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47, 004 crores.

Third Phase 1993-2003

36

(Entry of Private Sector Funds)

With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being, under which all mutual funds, except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in July 1993. The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996. The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1, 21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs.44, 541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.

Forth Phase Since February 2003

In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29, 835 crores as at the end of January 2003, representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured return and certain other schemes. The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning under an administrator and under the rules framed by Government of India and does not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations.

37

The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which had in March 2000 more than Rs.76, 000 crores of assets under management and with the setting up of a UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent mergers taking place among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its current phase of consolidation and growth. As at the end of October 31, 2003, there were 31 funds, which manage assets of Rs.126726 crores under 386 schemes.

NET ASSET VALUE:The Net Asset Value or NAV is a term used to describe the value of an entity's assets less the value of its liabilities. The term is commonly used in relation to collective investment schemes. It may also be used as a synonym for the book value of a firm.

NAV covers the company's current asset and liability position. Investors might expect the company to have large growth prospects, in which case they would be prepared to pay more for the company than the NAV suggests.

The NAV is usually below the market price because the current values of the funds assets are higher than the historical financial statements used in the NAV calculation.

CALCULATING NET ASSET VALUE Unit capital is the investors subscriptions. In MF it is not treated as a liability. Investments made on behalf of the investors are assets side of the balance sheet. There are liabilities of short-term nature.

FUNDS NET ASSET = ASSET LIABILITIES NAV = Net Assets Issued Units I.e. NAV= (market value of investments + other accrued income + other assets accrued expenses other payables other liabilities)/ (no. Of units outstanding as at the NAV date)

43

THE FACTOR AFFECTING THE NAV ARE AS FOLLOWING: 1. Capital gains or losses on the sale or purchase of investment Securities. 2. Dividend and income earned on the assets 3. Capital appreciation in the underlying value of the stocks holds in the portfolio 4. Other assets and liabilities 5. Number of units sold or purchased

Facts About Mutual Fund

Equity Instruments like shares form only a part of the securities held by Mutual Funds. Mutual Funds also invest in debt securities, which are relatively much safer. The biggest advantage of Mutual Funds is their ability to diversify the risk. Mutual Funds are there in India since 1964. Mutual Funds market is much evolved in U.S.A and is there for last 60 years. Mutual Funds are the best solution for people who want to manage risk and get good returns. The size of Mutual Funds market in India is Rs. 107728 crores and that in U.S.A is many times higher. According to the SEBI - NCAER Survey of Indian Investors about 15 million or 8.7% of the households have invested in Mutual Funds and there are nearly 23 million unit holders in India. 30% of investors fall in the income group of investors having monthly income up to Rs. 10,000/-. In U.S.A there are more deposits in the mutual funds than in bank deposits. The truth is, as investors we should always pay attention to our mutual funds and continue to monitor them.

MUTUAL FUND

46

Introduction to Mutual Fund

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is invested by the fund manager in different types of securities depending upon the objective of the scheme. These could range from shares to debentures to money market instruments. The income earned in these investments and the capital appreciation realized by the scheme is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed portfolio at a relatively low cost. Anybody with an invest able surplus of a few thousand rupees can invest in Mutual Funds. Each Mutual Fund scheme has a defined investment objective and strategy. A mutual fund is the ideal investment vehicle for todays complex and modern financial scenario. Markets for equity shares, bonds and other fixed income instruments, real estate, derivatives and other assets have become mature and information driven. Price changes in these assets are driven by global events occurring in faraway places. A typical individual is unlikely to have the knowledge, skills, inclination and time to keep track of events, understand their implications and act speedily. A mutual fund is answer to all these situations. It appoints professionally qualified and experienced staff that manages each of these functions on a fulltime basis. The large pool of money collected in the fund allows it to hire such staff at a very low cost to each investor. In fact, the mutual fund vehicle exploits economies of scale in all three areas research, investment and transaction processing.

47

A draft offer document is to be prepared at the time of launching the fund. Typically, it pre specifies the investment objective of the fund, the risk associated, the cost involved in the process and the broad rules for entry into and exit from the fund and other areas of operation. In India, as in most countries, these sponsors need approval from a regulator, SEBI in our case. SEBI looks at track records of the sponsor and its financial strength in granting approval to the fund for commencing operations.

A sponsor then hires an asset management company to invest the funds according to the investment objective. It also hires another entity to be the custodian of the assets of the fund and perhaps a third one to handle registry work for the unit holders of the fund. In the Indian context, the sponsors promote the Asset Management Company also, in which it holds a majority stake. In many cases a sponsor can hold a 100% stake in the Asset Management Company (AMC).

E.g. Birla Global Finance is the sponsor of the Birla Sun Life Asset Management Company Ltd., which has floated different mutual funds schemes and also acts as an asset manager for the funds collected under the schemes.

As per SEBI regulations, mutual funds can offer guaranteed returns for a maximum period of one year. In case returns are guaranteed, the name of the guarantor and how the guarantee would be honored is required to be disclosed in the offer document.

48

Mutual Fund Cycle

(Fig no 5.-Mutual Fund Cycle)

From the above cycle, it can be observed that how the money from the investors flow and they get returns out of it. With a small amount of fund, investors pool their money with the funds managers. Taking into consideration the market strategy the funds managers invest this pool of money into reliable securities. With ups and downs in market returns are generated and they are passed on to the investors. The above cycle should be very clear and also effective. The fund manager while investing on behalf of investors takes into consideration various factors like time, risk, return, etc. so that he can make proper investment decision.

Critical view about Mutual Fund

Benefits
If mutual funds are emerging as favorite investment vehicle, it is because of the many advantages they have over other forms and avenues of investing, particularly for the investors who has limited resources available in terms of capital and ability to carry out details research and market monitoring. The following are the major advantages offered by mutual funds to all investors. PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE Fund managers are professionals who track the market on an on going basis. With their mix of professional qualification and market knowledge, they are better placed than the average investor to understand the markets. DIVERSIFICATION Since a mutual fund scheme invests in number of stocks and/or debentures, the associated risks are greatly reduced. RELATIVELY LESS EXPENSIVE When compared to direct investments in the capital market, mutual funds cost less. This is due to savings in brokerage costs, demat costs, depository costs etc. LIQUIDITY Investments in mutual funds are completely liquid and can be redeemed at Net Assets Value (NAV) related price on any working day. TRANSPARENCY You will always have access to up-to-date information on the value of your investment in addition to the complete portfolio of investments, the proportion allocated to different assets and the fund managers investment strategy.

50

 FLEXIBILITY Through features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans and dividend investment plans, you can systematically invest or withdraw funds according to your needs and convenience. SEBI REGULATED All mutual funds are registered with SEBI and function within the provisions and regulations that protect the interests of investors.

While most investment options provide most of these features, only Mutual Funds provide all of these options.

51

Limitations
NO CONTROL OVER COST Any investor in a mutual fund has no control over the overall cost of investing. He pays investment management fees as long as he remains with fund, albeit in return for the professional management and research. Fees are payable even in declining stage. A mutual fund investor also pays fund distribution costs, which he would not incur in direct investing. However, this shortcoming only means that there is a cost to obtain the benefits of mutual fund services.

NO TAILOR-MADE PORTFOLIOS Investors who invest on there own can build their own portfolios of shares and bonds and other securities. Investing through funds means he delegates this decision to the fund managers. The very high-net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this to be a constraint in achieving their objectives. However, most mutual fund managers help investors overcome this constraint by offering families of funds- a large number of different schemes within their own management company. An investor can choose form different investment plans and construct a portfolio of his own.

MANAGING A PORTFOLIO OF FUNDS Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too much choice for the investor. He may again need advice on how to select a fund to achieve his objectives, quite similar to the situation when he has to select individual shares or bonds to invest in.

52

 ENTRY AND EXIT COST Mutual funds are a victim of their own success. When a large body like a fund invests in shares, the concentrated buying and selling often results in adverse price movement i.e. at the time of buying, the fund ends up paying a high price and by selling it realizes a lower price. For obvious reasons, this problem is even more severe for funds investing in small capitalization stocks. However, given the large size of debt market, excluding UTI, most debt funds do not face this problem.

CHANGE OF INDEX COMPOSITION The indices changing over the world to reflect changing market conditions. There is an inherent survivorship bias in this process, with the bad stocks bided out and replaced by emerging blue chips. This is a severe problem in India with the sensex having being changing twice in last 5 years, with each change being quite substantial. Another reason for change index composition is Mergers and Acquisitions. The weight age of the shares of a particular company in the index changes if it acquires a large company not a part of the index.

53

Why Investor Needs Mutual Fund

Mutual funds offer benefits, which are too significant to miss out. Any investment has to be judged on the yardstick of return, liquidity and safety. Convenience and tax efficiency are the other benchmarks relevant in mutual fund investment. In the wonderful game of financial safety and returns are the tows opposite goals and investors cannot be nearer to both at the same time. The crux of mutual fund investing is averaging the risk. Many investors possibly dont know that considering returns alone, many mutual funds have outperformed a host of other investment products. Mutual funds have historically delivered yields averaging between 9% to 25% over a medium to long time frame. The duration is important because like wise, mutual funds return taste bitter with the passage of time. Investors should be prepared to lock in their investments preferably for 3 years in an income fund and 5 years in an equity funds. Liquid funds of course, generate returns even in a short term.

54

Mutual Fund Risk

Mutual funds face risks based on the investments they hold. For example, a bond fund faces interest rate risk and income risk. Bond values are inversely related to interest rates. If interest rates go up, bond values will go down and vice versa. Bond income is also affected by the changes in interest rates. Bond yields are directly related to interest rates falling as interest rates fall and rising as interest rates. Similarly, a sector stock fund is at risk that its price will decline due to developments in its industry. A stock fund that invests across many industries is more sheltered from this risk defined as industry risk. Followings are glossary of some risks to consider when investing in mutual funds. Country Risk The possibility that political events (a war, national election), financial problems (rising inflation, government default), or natural disasters will weaken a countrys economy and cause investments in that country to decline. Income Risk

The possibility that a fixed-income funds dividends will decline as a result of falling overall interest rates. Market Risk

The possibility that stock fund or bond fund prices overall will decline over short or even extended periods. Stock and bond markets tend to move in cycles, with periods when prices rise and other periods when prices fall.

Income schemes Debt oriented schemes investing in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, Government securities and money market instruments. Floating-Rate Debt Fund A fund comprising of bonds for which the interest rate is adjusted periodically according to a predator-mined formula, usually linked to an index. Gilt Funds These funds invest exclusively in government securities.

They generally invest 40-60% in equity and debt instruments.

Do not undertake any other activity conflicting with managing the fund.

Following are the bodies appointed by the trustees/AMC. Custodian is the responsible person for physical handling and safe keeping of the securities. He should be independent of the sponsor and registered with SEBI. Indian capital market is moving away from physical certificates for securities to dematerialized form with a depository. He holds dematerialized security holdings of Mutual Fund.

Custodian
Often an independent organization, it takes custody of securities and other assets of mutual fund. Its responsibilities include receipt and delivery of securities, collecting income-distributing dividends, safekeeping of the units and segregating assets and settlements between schemes. Their charges range between 0.15-0.2 percent of the net value of the holding. Custodians can service more than one fund.

Depository
Indian capital markets are moving away from having physical certificates for securities, to ownership of these securities in dematerialized form with a Depository. Thus, a mutual funds dematerialized securities holdings will be held by a Depository through a Depository Participant. A funds physical securities will continue to be held by a Custodian. Thus, deliveries of a funds securities are given or received by a custodian or a depository participant, at the instruction of the AMC, although under the overall direction and responsibility of the Trustees.

Regulatory Aspects

66

AMFI (Association of Mutual fund in India)

AMFI not a Self Regulatory Organization (SRO). Its made to promote mutual fund in the masses and give recommendation in order to uphold the interest of the investor.

Objectives of AMFI:-

To define and maintain high professional and ethical standards in all areas of operation of mutual fund industry To recommend and promote best business practices and code of conduct to be followed by members and others engaged in the activities of mutual fund and asset management including agencies connected or involved in the field of capital markets and financial services. To interact with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and to represent to SEBI on all matters concerning the mutual fund industry. To represent to the Government, Reserve Bank of India and other bodies on all matters relating to the Mutual Fund Industry. To develop a cadre of well-trained Agent distributors and to implement a Programme of training and certification for all intermediaries and other engaged in the industry. To undertake nation wide investor awareness Programme so as to promote proper understanding of the concept and working of mutual funds.

67

SEBI (Security Exchange Board of India)

Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"), the Capital Markets regulator has clearly defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules relate to the formation, administration and management of mutual funds and also prescribe disclosure and accounting requirements. Such a high level of regulation seeks to protect the interest of investors. All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the provision of strict regulations designed to protect the interests of investors. The operations of Mutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI.

RBI (Reserve Bank of India)

Reserve bank of India was the regulator of Mutual Fund before SEBI. It regulated mutual fund initially and there were only few schemes in the market. But now with coming of SEBI, it has now become the main regulator of the Mutual Fund. RBI now only governs Bank Sponsored Mutual Fund.

Ministry of Finance
The Ministry of Finance, which is charged with implementing the government policies, ultimately supervises both the RBI and the SEBI. Besides being the ultimate policy making and supervising entity, the MOF has also been playing the role of an Appellate Authority for any major disputes over SEBI guidelines on certain specific capital market related guidelines in particular any cases of insider trading or mergers and acquisitions.

68

Company Law Board

Mutual fund Asset Management Companies and corporate trustees are companies registered under the Companies Act, 1956, and are therefore answerable to regulatory authorities empowered by the Companies Act. The primary legal interface for all companies is the Register of Companies (RoC). The Department of Company Affairs in turn supervises roCs. The DCA forms part of Company Law Board, which is part of the Ministry of Law and Justice of the Govt. of India. The RoC ensures that the assets management company or the Trustee Company as the case may be is in compliance with all Companies Act provisions. All assets management company accounts and records are filed with the Roc, who may demand additional information and documents from the company. The RoC plays the role of a watchdog with respect to regulatory compliance by companies. The Company Law Board (CLB) is the apex regulatory authority under the Companies Act. While the CLB guides the DCA, another arm of the CLB called the Company Law Bench is the Appellate Authority for corporate offences. The Company Law Board (CLB) is a body specially constituted by the Central Government for carrying out judicial proceedings with respect to company affairs. Since mutual fund assets Management Company are companies, the CLBs role assumes importance. As the members of assets management companies or Trustee companies will usually be the sponsors and their joint venture partners or associates, it is unlikely that mutual fund investors will have anything to do with any of these regulators. The authorities would generally regulate the assets management companies whose shareholders may have recourse to them in specific cases.

Purpose of the Research

With liberalization, privatization and globalization there has been a major change in the Indian Mutual Funds Industry. The momentum is on and one is sure to see similar hectic activity at the offices of the new entrants especially after the 90s as private sector gained entry in the Indian markets. With the private sector penetration, a large number of schemes have also been introduced due to which the average consumer has become vary sensitive to the new schemes coming its way. So to ensure about the various consumer attitudes, a survey was undertaken. De facto, to ensure what the consumer thinks & what it thinks the best we undertook a consumer survey, to get a clear picture of the future of the Mutual Funds companies who are busy wooing the customers, with their lucrative schemes, to survive the rat race & emerge as no.1 in this field.

RESEARCH METHODOLODY

74

Research methodology is a systematic plan or schedule or program of the research done. It describes all the procedures of the research.

Research Design
Research design can be described as an out line of a research project working or a pattern. In a research design there are series of prior decision that together provide a master plan for completing a research project. Research design is proved to be a bridge between what has been established and what is to be done in conduct of the studies. Research design should be compressive and it should provide which method to be used and what work to be done. Research design describes as a master plan a series of key decisions that serves a model for conducting a research project. There are the main components of research design. Objective of research Data inputs Analysis of data collected The research design was exploratory type and the focus was on getting mutual funds employees views for various products, expectations from market.

Exploratory Research: Exploratory study goes beyond description and attempts to explain the reasons for the phenomenon that the descriptive study only observed. The researcher uses theories or at least hypotheses to account for the forces that caused a certain phenomenon to occur.

75

Sources of Data
The gathering of data may range from a simple observation at one location to a grandiose survey of multinational corporations at sites in different parts of the world. The method selected will largely determine how the data are collected. DATA is the facts presented to the researcher from the studys environment. Characteristics of the data are as follows: Data are more metaphorical than real Data are processed by our senses-often limited in comparison to The senses of other living organisms. Capturing data are said to be trustworthy because they may be Verified. Data classify their verity by closeness to the phenomena There are two kinds of data that can be collected for research purpose. Based on the requirement in the research appropriate data is collected. Both the kinds of data are shown below in the figure: Error: Reference source not found

1) Primary data source

Primary data are collected and gathered for the first time. Primary data are sought for their proximity to the truth and controls over error. Advantages of primary data are:

76

Researchers can collect precisely the information they want. They usually can specify the operational definitions used and can eliminate, or at least monitor and record the extraneous influences on the data as they are gathered.

2) Secondary data source

Someone else collects secondary data. So, it becomes secondary information for the research. Secondary data have had least one level of interpretation inserted between the event and its recording. Reasons for using the secondary data are listed below: They fill a need for specific reference or citation on some point Secondary data are an integral part of a larger research study Secondary data may be used as the sole basis for a research study, since In many research situations one cannot conduct primary research Because of physical, legal, or cost influences. Analyzing the requirement of data, it was found that primary data is more important for achieving Research Objective. interviews. Primary data is collected with the help of

77

Sampling Plan
Collecting the required information from the right source is very important. Sources from which the data are collected differ as per the required of researcher. Basically there are two types of data collection sources:

1) Sampling Unit:
The sampling unit primarily consisted of investors like businessman, professionals, salaried employees and others. The sample unit is taken from the Surat city of Gujarat region.

2) Sample Size:
Though large sample give more reliable results than small samples but increases the cost, time and non-sampling error. Keeping in view these constraints 100 respondents were chosen. Attempts have been made to see that samples are chosen from different areas of Surat. I have taken 100 responds as a sample size for this particular project.

LIMITATIONS

94

Limitations of research
This exploratory research is done focusing on the investment scenario of Surat city of Gujarat region only and therefore findings and suggestions given on the basis of this research and cannot be considered for the entire Mutual Fund Industry of India. Some of the people, out of various sectors that I had visited for study, did not give me cooperative response. Due to small market and time limit I could take only 100 responses. Another limitation is that due to lack of knowledge and education many investors dont know the basic ideas behind mutual fund. Due to Time constraint I could not analyze more. My own inexperience in research area might have affected the study.

CONCLUSIONS

96

Conclusions
Half of the respondents are investing in different schemes of mutual fund companies. The investors prefer investing more in banks and post office, which shows that investors want security, and assured returns. Others than Banks and post office the next preference of investors who go for risky preposition in shares and Mutual Funds. That is basically due to misconception that Mutual Fund Companies usually invest in equity market, which shakes trust of people in Mutual Fund. Majority of investors invested in open-ended schemes. The awareness level about HDFC assets Management Company is moderate but still the awareness should be created because 44% peoples still not invest in HDFC assets Management Company. As the investor prefers safe investment and want consistent return, they invest in debt schemes (22.69%). The investors prefer HDFC assets Management Company more because of the tax benefit and consistent return. Mutual funds are also preferred because of the cost effectiveness and higher income by investing in equity schemes. The banks mostly make the investments through the agents followed.

97

 Professional and Business class, which is considered to be the most knowledgeable class of the region prefers Mutual Funds less compare to service class. The time frame of the investment by majority of the investors is open-ended schemes in which their money is not locked for 3 to 5 years.

98

RECOMMENDATION S

99

Recommendations
The company should try to make aware people about their different schemes through the road show; seminars and presentation that it is not just equity based schemes but also debt and liquid or balanced schemes also promoted by company. Company has to put hoardings, banners, pamphlets in that area where peoples can watch easily. The customers should be made aware that if the time frame of the investment is more than 3 years Equity option is the best tool for investing in mutual fund by this investors getting good and high returns for their investments. The company should be conducting special training and motivation Programme for their distributors and also for investors so that they are being motivated to work, their quality of performance and contribution in sales is maintained. Company has to provide application forms and other promotional materials to their distributors time to time and company has to maintain better relationship with their distributors by these they can give good contribution in investments. None of responds invest their money in different schemes of company By Online, so company has opportunity to launch online services for their distributors and retail investors.

100

 Companys core and satellite fund, balanced fund, capital builder fund are preferred by very few investors because this schemes not perform well so company has to think about their companies in which they invest investors money so they have to change portfolio of investments.

Most of the people still preferred to invest in post office schemes and fixed deposits so company has to focus on these investors.
