The financial objective should not only be driven by savings, but it also has to embrace
wealth appreciation across the time horizon. Over some years, mutual funds have emerged as
one of the popular instruments of investment. The fundamental reason behind its popularity is
the flexibility this fund provides. The provision of small investments like INR 500 through
SIP and a wide range of features in the market products renders it as a lucrative pick for the
investors. The State Bank of India Mutual Funds with more than 30 years of experience in
fund management is one of the leading concerns in the country. Analysing this fact, SBI
MF can be a suitable option for investors willing to start their venture in the money market.
Let us take a quick insight into its history, information and investment tips.
The SBI Mutual Fund is a joint project between the State Bank of India and AMUNDI (a
French international fund management company) which is a subsidiary collectively formed
by Credit Agricola and Society General. It is widely known as the SBI Mutual Fund Trustee
Company Private Limited and was established as a Trust under the provisions of the Indian
Trust Act 1882. This is one of India’s largest bank sponsored mutual funds with its corporate
headquarter in Mumbai. This mutual fund has also launched an offshore fund, the Resurgent
India Opportunity Fund. Besides, it is being listed with the Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI). The fund has a diverse profile of investors parking their money across 38 active
schemes with the management of over INR 42,000 corer assets.
Investment in SBI mutual funds have to be carried on through the four major types of funds
which are Equity Mutual Funds, Debt Mutual Funds, Tax Saving Mutual Funds and Hybrid
Mutual Funds.
Equity Mutual Funds: In the equity mutual funds, the investments are largely made on
large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks. Over a longer duration, these funds provide a stellar
performance.
Debt Mutual Funds: The Debt mutual fund of SBI has a combination of both debt and fixed
income securities. The fixed-income securities comprise of the Government Securities,
Treasury Bills, and Corporate Bonds and money market instruments. These securities come
with a fixed rate of interest and a fixed maturity date.
Comparative Analysis of Mutual Fund with Special Reference
To SBI Mutual Fund
Tax Saving Mutual Funds: SBI also has tax saving mutual funds that offer tax relief under
Section 80C of the Income-tax Act. These equity-based funds come with a lock-in period of
three years.
Hybrid Mutual Funds: Based on the investment objectives of the individuals, these hybrid
funds by SBI offers investment in a mixture of debt and equity in various proportions. These
have a high rate of interest and are less risky when compared to other categories of funds.
Investors need to login on the official website and create an account. Then they can select
their preferred mutual fund scheme and evaluate certain factors like risk, NAV, performance
and others. After choosing the appropriate funds, investments can be made in SIP or lump
sum via net banking mode. For the offline process, investors need to visit the branch in
person. The SBI mutual fund units will be allotted to the investor within five working days.
In case, the KYC has not been submitted; it needs to be carried out separately.
Know your risk tolerance: In mutual funds, there are various investments that incorporate
some amount of risk. The equity funds like mid and small-cap have the highest risk, along
with the highest potential returns. Debt funds in comparison offer lower risk with lower
returns. The hybrid fund is a mix of both equity and debt funds, and thus it provides a balance
in risk and returns. After analysing the risk and return equation, investors can pick up the best
mutual funds that meet their expectations.
Be clear about your financial objective: After analysing the risk factor, the next vital thing
is to determine how long you want to stay invested and how much you can invest. Mutual
funds being a highly flexible tool can offer you various routes to deliver your goal.
Prefer long-term growth strategy: There is no means by which mutual funds can provide
you with a short-cut route to become prosperous. There are a few short-term schemes in
which you get the chance to earn — however, investments over a time horizon help in getting
the highest rewards.
Monitor the funds timely to ensure success: By monitoring the funds timely, the investors
can detect which scheme is working properly and which wasn’t able to perform. This will
help the investor to make an informed decision and reallocate the funds in more lucrative
plans.
Diversify the investments over time: In mutual funds, investors also get opportunities to
diversify the funds based on the market scenario. Equity-based schemes help in wealth
appreciation in long-term, while debt funds are relatively safer but offer lower returns.
Diversifying the portfolio with a balanced mix of both of these sounds a much prudent
choice.
The NAV does not imply much: The NAV of the mutual funds has no implications that how
the funds will perform in future. This is the main reason why mutual funds are represented by
percentage growth figures.
These are some of the important information facts about SBI Mutual Funds and investors can
implement these tips at the time of investment.

Suggestions
To regulate entry and exit loads effectively as it creates a lot of confusing during actual
settlement of costs and bills.
To better operation management so as to reduce the time lag and improve customer feedback.
To come up with more innovative schemes and product so as to expand over the largest
customer base as possible.
Mutual fund offer a lot of benefit which no other single option could offer but most of the
people are not even aware of what actually a mutual fund is they only see it at just another
investment option.
Mutual fund company need to give the training of the individual financial advisor about the
funds / scheme and its objective, because they are the main source to influence the investor.
Conclusion
The future of primary market is growing at very high pace. Taking this thing into
consideration, there are lots of opportunities for the SBI mutual funds management Pvt. Ltd.
Tap the golden opportunities from the Indian market.
SBI Funds Management Pvt. Ltd has emerged a very strong player in the field of distribution
of financial product within a short period of one year time in the field of and is giving stiff
competition to all the players in the market including the banks. It is expanding its area of
business, if the progress of SBI MF goes in the same way, than I can say that there is bright
future for SBI MF in coming years.
The company is currently following huge investment and growth strategies. Apart from the
market growth rate the distribution industry doesn’t seem to attractive. Hence the firm should
be selective using growth strategies. This is not to undermine the bright future of SBI MF,
just a check to be a cautious.
Mutual funds will become one of the sought after investment avenues. As far as the other
investment products marketed by SBI MF are concerned, they have a ready market. The only
thing which it needs to focus on, is that they should have a strong network so that prompt
services and availability of forms is made available to the investor at a short notice, and if it
keeps the traditional base for marketing for India, which is a price sensitive market, we can
say that SBI MF has a great future ahead.
