With the increase in mutual fund players in India, a need for mutual fund association in India
was generated to function as a non-profit organization. Association of Mutual Funds in India
(AMFI) was incorporated on 22nd August, 1995.
AMFI is an apex body of all Asset Management Companies (AMC) which has been
registered with SEBI. Till date all the AMCs are that have launched mutual fund schemes are
its members. It functions under the supervision and guidelines of its Board of Directors
Association of Mutual Funds India has brought down the Indian Mutual Fund Industry to a
professional and healthy market with ethical lines enhancing and maintaining standards. It
follows the principle of both protecting and promoting the interests of mutual funds as well as
their unit holders.
The Association of Mutual Funds of India works with 30 registered AMCs of the country. It
has certain defined objectives which juxtaposes the guidelines of its Board of Directors. The
objectives are as follows:
This mutual fund association of India maintains a high professional and ethical standards in
all areas of operation of the industry.
It also recommends and promotes the top class business practices and code of conduct which
is followed by members and related people engaged in the activities of mutual fund and asset
33
management. The agencies who are by any means connected or involved in the field of capital
markets and financial services also involved in this code of conduct of the association.
AMFI interacts with SEBI and works according to SEBIs guidelines in the mutual fund
industry.
Association of Mutual Fund of India do represent the Government of India, the Reserve Bank
of India and other related bodies on matters relating to the Mutual Fund Industry.
AMFI undertakes all India awarness programme for investors inorder to promote proper

PREDOMINANTLY FOREIGN JOINT VENTURES:-
AMFI publices mainly two types of bulletin. One is on the monthly basis and the other is

quarterly. These publications are of great support for the investors to get intimation of the
knowhow of their parked money.
There are numerous benefits of investing in mutual funds and one of the key reasons for its
phenomenal success in the developed markets like US and UK is the range of benefits they
offer, which are unmatched by most other investment avenues. We have explained the key
benefits in this section. The benefits have been broadly split into universal benefits, applicable
to all schemes, and benefits applicable specifically to open-ended schemes.
UNIVERSAL BENEFITS
AFFORDABILITY
37
A mutual fund invests in a portfolio of assets, i.e. bonds, shares, etc. depending upon the
investment objective of the scheme. An investor can buy in to a portfolio of equities, which
would otherwise be extremely expensive. Each unit holder thus gets an exposure to such
portfolios with an investment as modest as Rs.500/-. This amount today would get you less
than quarter of an Infosys share! Thus it would be affordable for an investor to build a
portfolio of investments through a mutual fund rather than investing directly in the stock
market.
DIVERSIFICATION
The nuclear weapon in your arsenal for your fight against Risk. It simply means that you must
spread your investment across different securities (stocks, bonds, money market instruments,
real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and different sectors (auto, textile, information technology
etc.). This kind of a diversification may add to the stability of your returns, for example
during one period of time equities might underperform but bonds and money market
instruments might do well enough to offset the effect of a slump in the equity markets.
Similarly the information technology sector might be faring poorly but the auto and textile
sectors might do well and may protect your principal investment as well as help you meet
your return objectives
VARIETY
Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This variety is beneficial in two ways:
first, it offers different types of schemes to investors with different needs and risk appetites;
secondly, it offers an opportunity to an investor to invest sums across a variety of schemes,
both debt and equity. For example, an investor can invest his money in a Growth Fund (equity
scheme) and Income Fund (debt scheme) depending on his risk appetite and thus create a
balanced portfolio easily or simply just buy a Balanced Scheme.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
38
Qualified investment professionals who seek to maximise returns and minimise risk monitor
investor's money. When you buy in to a mutual fund, you are handing your money to an
investment professional who has experience in making investment decisions. It is the Fund
Manager's job to (a) find the best securities for the fund, given the fund's stated investment
objectives; and (b) keep track of investments and changes in market conditions and adjust the
mix of the portfolio, as and when required.
TAX BENEFITS- Any income distributed after March 31,2002 will be subject to tax
in the assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit holders of
open-ended equity-oriented funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31, 2003,
will be taxed at a concessional rate of 10.5%. In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided
Families a deduction upto Rs. 9,000 from the Total Income will be admissible in respect of
income from investments specified in Section 80L, including income from Units of the
Mutual Fund. Units of the schemes are not subject to Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax.
REGULATIONS
Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the mutual funds 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.
LIQUIDITY
In open-ended mutual funds, you can redeem all or part of your units any time you wish.
Some schemes do have a lock-in period where an investor cannot return the units until the
completion of such a lock-in period.
CONVENIENCE- An investor can purchase or sell fund units directly from a fund,
through a broker or a financial planner. The investor may opt for a Systematic Investment
39
Plan (“SIP”) or a Systematic Withdrawal Advantage Plan (“SWAP”). In addition to this an
investor receives account statements and portfolios of the schemes.
TRANSPARENCY
Open-ended mutual funds disclose their Net Asset Value (“NAV”) daily and the entire
portfolio monthly. This level of transparency, where the investor himself sees the underlying
assets bought with his money, is unmatched by any other financial instrument. Thus the
investor is in the know of the quality of the portfolio and can invest further or redeem
depending on the kind of the portfolio that has been constructed by the investment manager.
Mutual funds have their drawbacks and may not be for everyone:
NO GUARANTEES:
No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market declines in value, the value of mutual
fund shares will go down as well, no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter
fewer risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell stocks on their own.
However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of losing money.
All funds charge administrative fees to cover their day-to-day expenses. Some funds also
charge sales commissions or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial
planners. Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you will pay a sales
commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.
40
TAXES:
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from 20 to 70
percent of the securities in their portfolios. If your fund makes a profit on its sales, you will
pay taxes on the income you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.
MANAGEMENT RISK:
When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on the fund's manager to make the right
decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you had
hoped, you might not make as much money on your investment as you expected. Of course, if
you invest in Index Funds, you forego management risk, because these funds do not employ
managers.
The annual composite rate of growth is expected 13.4% during the rest of the decade. 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.
Number of foreign AMC's are in the queue to enter the Indian markets like Fidelity
Investments, US based, with over US$1trillion assets under management worldwide. our
saving rate is over 23%, highest in the world. Only channelizing these savings in mutual funds
sector is required.
we have approximately 29 mutual funds which is much less than US having more than 800.
There is a big scope for expansion and 'C' class cities are growing rapidly. Today most of the
mutual funds are concentrating on the 'C’class cities. Soon they will find scope in the growing
cities.

CHAPTER-2
This project has been made to study about mutual funds, so the purpose of study includes
following objectives-
2. To compare and analyze the performance of selected mutual fund schemes on the basis of
risk and past returns.
• Beta ratio
• Sharpe ratio
• Treynor ratio
42
• Alpha ratio
CHAPTER-3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology has many dimensions. It includes not only research methods but also
consists the logic behind the methods used in the context of the study and explains why only a
particular method of technique had been used so that search lend themselves to proper
evaluation. Thus in a way it is a written game plan for concluding research. Therefore in order
to solve our research problem, it is necessary to design a research methodology for the
problem as the same may differ from problem to problem.

1. Exploratory research
2. Descriptive research
3. Experimental research
Data collection- The objectives of the project are such that secondary data is required to
achieve them. So secondary data was used for the project. The mode of collecting secondary
data are magazines, books, newspapers, and websites company’s brochures.
So my project contains the “Descriptive Research Design”. So data is taken from secondary
sources.
44
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
The project contains the study of comparative study of performance of selected mutual fund
schemes in India. Project includes the equity diversified schemes of 4 AMC’S. These four
schemes are-
45
NAV- The performance of a particular scheme of a mutual fund is denoted by Net Asset
Value (NAV). Mutual funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities
markets. In simple words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the securities held by the
scheme. Since market value of securities changes every day, NAV of a scheme also varies on
day to day basis. The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by
the total number of units of the scheme on any particular date. For example, if the market
value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs 200 lakhs and the mutual fund has issued 10
lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the NAV per unit of the fund is Rs.20. NAV is
required to be disclosed by the mutual funds on a regular basis-daily or weekly - depending
on the type of scheme.
Here in the table, NAV means “Net Asset Value” and “CAGR” means Compounded Annual
Growth Rate.

will differ from the expected income this means that the more variable the possible outcomes
that can occur, the greater the risk.
For determining the risk-return relationship of the funds following four technical ratios have
been used which depict which fund has performed well in the market despite the risk factor
involved in them:
Ratios-
1.Beta ratio
2.Sharpe ratio
3.Treynor ratio
4 Alpha ratio
Formulas used-
1. Beta ratio-
2. Sharpe ratio-
Sharpe ratio- Mean of the fund- Assured return (risk free return)
Standard deviation
(Risk= variability of returns=standard deviation)
3. Treynor ratio-
Treynor ratio- Mean of the fund- Assured return (risk free return)
Beta of portfolio
4. Alpha ratio-
48
Alpha ratio – Mean of fund – (Beta * Mean of benchmark index)
Beta ratio-
Beta is calculated using regression analysis, and you can think of beta as the tendency of a
security's returns to respond to swings in the market. A beta of 1 indicates that the security's
price will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less
volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security's price will be
more volatile than the market. For example, if a stock's beta is 1.2, it's theoretically 20% more
volatile than the market. Many utilities stocks have a beta of less than 1. Conversely, most
high-tech Nasdaq-based stocks have a beta of greater than 1, offering the possibility of a
higher rate of return, but also posing more risk.
Sharpe ratio-
The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of an investment. It was derived by
Prof. William Sharpe, now at of Stanford University who was one of three economists who
received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 for their contributions to what is now called
"Modern Portfolio Theory.” He introduced a measure for the performance of mutual funds
And proposed the term reward-to-variability ratio to describe it
The calculation is pretty straightforward. You invest money in some investment. You then
calculate the value of your investment account (including the initial investment plus the
profit/loss) periodically, say for example, every month. You then calculate the percentage
return in each month. It doesn't matter what kind of investment. It could be simply buying
and holding a single stock, or trading several different commodities with several different
trading systems. All that matters is the account value at the end of each month.
49
Then calculate the average monthly return over some number of months, say for example, 24
months, by averaging the returns for the 24 months. You also calculate the standard deviation
of the monthly returns over the same period.
You also need a number for the "risk-free return" which is the annualized return currently
available on "risk-free" investments. This is usually assumed to be the return on a 90-day T-
Bill which is now about 5% per year.
You now calculate the "Excess return" which is the annualized return achieved by your
investment in excess of the risk-free rate of return available. This is the extra return you
receive by assuming some risk. (Risk is measured by the standard deviation of the returns,
which is actually the "variability" of the returns.)
which gives you the Sharpe Ratio of the past returns over the past 24 months.
This is pretty straightforward when you invest in stocks or mutual funds not using margin. If
you use margin or invest in futures contracts, it is a little more complicated. An example
below will illustrate this.
Mutual Funds
50
If the investment was in buying and holding a mutual fund, you will get a number between
about 0.5 and 3. They say that a Sharpe Ratio of over 1.0 is "pretty good". Outstanding funds
achieve something over 2.0.
Trading Systems
If you are "investing" in a system for trading, you still measure the value of your account with
the profit/loss resulting from the trades. You are, in effect sampling the value of the equity
curve (plus the initial investment as defined above). An example will clarify this.
As above, a Sharpe Ratio of a system of over 2.0 is considered very good. Sharpe Ratios
above 3.0 are outstanding. (The Sharpe Ratio reported by services such as Future Truth are
calculated in some other way and get other numbers.)
Treynor ratio-
A ratio developed by Jack Treynor that measures returns earned in excess of that which could
have been earned on a risk less investment per each unit of market risk.
The Treynor ratio is calculated as: (Average Return of the Portfolio - Average Return of the
Risk-Free Rate) / Beta of the Portfolio.
In other words, the Treynor ratio is a risk-adjusted measure of return based on systematic risk.
It is similar to the Sharpe ratio, with the difference being that the Treynor ratio uses beta as
the measurement of volatility.
Also known as the "reward-to-volatility ratio".
Alpha ratio-
1. A measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of
a mutual fund and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index. The excess
return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index is a fund's alpha.
51
2. The abnormal rate of return on a security or portfolio in excess of what would be predicted
by an equilibrium model like the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
1. Alpha is one of five technical risk ratios; the others are beta, standard deviation, R-squared,
and the Sharpe ratio. These are all statistical measurements used in modern portfolio theory
(MPT). All of these indicators are intended to help investors determine the risk-reward profile
of a mutual fund. Simply stated, alpha is often considered to represent the value that a
portfolio manager adds to or subtracts from a fund's return.
A positive alpha of 1.0 means the fund has outperformed its benchmark index by 1%.
Correspondingly, a similar negative alpha would indicate an underperformance
of 1%.
2. If a CAPM analysis estimates that a portfolio should earn 10% based on the risk of the
portfolio but the portfolio actually earns 15%, the portfolio's alpha would be 5%. This 5% is
the excess return over what was predicted in the CAPM model.
