INTRODUCTION
A mutual fund is a financial vehicle that combines
shareholder assets and invests them in securities such as
stocks, bonds, money market instruments, and other
assets.
Mutual funds are managed by expert money
administrators who allocate the assets of the fund in order
to generate capital gains or income for the fund's
investors.
Simply, a mutual fund is a pool of money managed by a
professional fund manager.
The portfolio of a mutual fund is structured and managed
to meet the investment goals stated in the prospectus.
SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations 1993, defines a
Mutual Fund as
“a fund established in the form of a Trust by a sponsor
to raise money by the trustee through the sale of units
to the public under one or more schemes for investing
in securities in accordance with these regulations”.
FEATURES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Liquidity - Mutual Fund units can be simply redeemed to help you
out in a pinch financially. The redemption amount is typically
credited to your bank account within 3–4 business days of the
redemption date, depending on the type of scheme.
Low Cost - Investors must pay a small charge known as the expense
ratio to mutual funds. Operating costs like management, administration,
etc. are included in the expense ratio along with other fees.
Phillip Parron
In statistics, the Phillips–Perron test (named after Peter C. B. Phillips
and Pierre Perron) is a unit root test. That is, it is employed in time
series analysis to test the null hypothesis that a time series is integrated
in order.
VECM (Vector Error Correction Model)
Using a VAR model of order p - 1 on the differences of the variables and an
error-correction term generated from the known (estimated) co-
integrating relationship, the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) is
proposed.
