The SEBI regulations, 1993 defines a mutual fund as a fund in the form of a trust by a
sponsor, to raise money by the trustees through the sale of units to the public, under one or
more schemes, for investing in securities in accordance with these regulations. It is a
diversified portfolio i.e. to distribute investment among different companies or securities in
order to limit losses in the particular market or industry.
The origin of Mutual fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept of UTI in
the year 1963. Until 1987 UTI enjoyed a monopoly in the Indian Mutual fund market. Then a
host of other government controlled Indian financial companies came up with their own
funds these are: SBI, Canara Bank and PNB. This market was made opened to private players
in 1993.
TYPES OF MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES:DEBT ORIENTED SCHEME:The aim of debt oriented scheme is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such
schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, and
government securities. Such funds are less risky as compared to equity schemes.
DIVERSIFIED EQUITY FUND SCHEME:The aim of diversified equity fund is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long
term. Such schemes normally invest in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risk and
high return. The equity funds are high on the risk scale as the share prices are volatile. These
funds try to reduce the risk by diversifying the investments in different types of shares. One
of the greatest advantages of equity funds is instant diversification.
BALANCED FUND SCHEME:The aim of balanced fund scheme is to provide both growth and regular income as such
scheme invests both in equities and debt securities in the proportion indicated in their offer
documents. These are appropriate for investors looking for moderate growth.
Here in this project our main focus is on Diversified Equity Fund Scheme.

Presently Unit Trust of India operates under the name of UTI Mutual Fund and its past
3
schemes (like US-64, Assured Return Schemes) are being gradually wound up. However,
UTI Mutual Fund is still the largest player in the industry. In 1999, there was a significant
growth in mobilisation of funds from investors and assets under management which is

LITERATURE REVIEW
Ms. Rajeswari T.R., Prof. V.E. Rama Moorthy (2001) in the paper An Empirical
Study on Factors Influencing the Mutual Fund Scheme Selection by Retail Investors
have expressed that mutual fund is a retail product designed to target small investors,
salaried people and others who are not intimidated by the mysteries of stock market
but, nevertheless, like to reap the benefits of stock market investing. At the retail
standard.
Jenson, Michal C. (1967), The Performance of Mutual Funds in the Period 1945
1964, The Journal of Finance, Vol 23, No. 2, pp.389 416. The research paper
indicates the past performance of the fund, predict the future demand of the fund,
cash inflows.
In 2010-11, equity markets traded within a narrow zone with both the Nifty and the
Sensex ending the year with gain (10.94%) while the broader index BSE 500 closing
with a paltry gain (8.55%).Franklin India Blue-chip Fund, DSP Blackrock Top 100
Equity and ICICI Prudential Top 100 Equity are three 5-star rated funds in this
category with (14.20%, 13.41% and 12.35%) annualized return respectively during
the three-year period ending March 31, 2011.[ magazineBusiness Today Edition:
June 2011].
In 2013, UTI Infrastructure and Tata Infrastructure Plan A have emerged the top
underperformers for the year, lagging their benchmarks by 17% and 16%,
respectively. Others that lagged their benchmarks include DSPBR TIGER Reg
(15.7%), SBI Emerging Businesses (12.5%), Reliance Regular Savings Equity
(10.7%), HDFC Growth (10.6%), Reliance Growth (8.9%), SBI Contra (7.8%) and
Reliance Vision (7.1%). HDFC Top 200, which alone manages more than Rs10, 000
crore by way of assets, underperformed by 0.22%.[E-PaperThe Financial Express
3.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY:The present study comprises of 20 mutual fund schemes launched by different private sector.
The time period of this research work is 4 months. The performance of selected Mutual
Funds schemes is evaluated on the basis of risk and return. Then these schemes have been
compared with the bench mark return to evaluate the performance of these schemes.

STATISTICAL TOOLS
Alpha: Alpha basically is the difference between the returns an investor expects from a fund
A positive alpha means the fund has outperformed its benchmark index. Whereas a negative
alpha indicates an underperformance of the fund. The more positive an alpha the healthier for
investors.
Alpha = Rp [ Rf + ( Rm Rf ) Beta ]
Where, Rp = Realized return
Rm = Market return
Rf = Risk free return
Beta: Beta is a measure of the volatility of a particular fund in comparison to the market as a
whole, that is, the extent to which the fund's return is impacted by market factors. Beta is
calculated using a statistical tool called regression analysis. By definition, the market
benchmark index of Sensex and Nifty has a beta of 1.0.Conservative investors should focus
on mutual funds schemes with low beta. Aggressive investors can opt to invest in mutual fund
schemes which have higher beta value for higher returns taking more risk.
Beta = Covariance of the fund and the market / Variance of market returns
Standard Deviation (SD): The total risk (market risk, security-specific risk and portfolio
risk) of a mutual fund is measured by Standard Deviation (SD). In mutual funds, the
standard deviation tells us how much the return on a fund is deviating from the expected
returns based on its historical performance. In other words can be said it evaluates the
volatility of the fund. The standard deviation of a fund measures this risk by measuring the
degree to which the fund fluctuates in relation to its average return of a fund over a period of
time. In other words, it is a measure of the consistency of a mutual fund's returns. A higher
SD number indicates that the net asset value (NAV) of the mutual fund is more volatile and, it
is riskier than a fund with a lower SD.
Standard Deviation =Root of [Sigma (( Return Of The Fund Expected Rate Of The
Return)^2)/n-1]
Sharpe Ratio: Sharpe ratio (SR) is another important measure that evaluates the return that a
fund has generated relative to the risk taken. Risk here is measured by SD. It is used for funds
14
that have low correlation with benchmark index. This ratio helps an investor to know whether
it is a safe bet to invest in this fund by taking the quantum of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio
(SR), the better a funds return relative to the amount of risk taken. In other words, a mutual
fund with a higher SR is better because it implies that it has generated higher returns for
every unit of risk that was taken. On the contrary, a negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a riskfree asset would perform better than the fund being analyzed.
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected portfolio return - Risk free rate) / Portfolio standard deviation
CAGR : CAGR isn't the actual return in reality. It's an imaginary number that describes the
rate at which an investment would have grown if it grew at a steady rate. You can think of
CAGR as a way to smooth out the returns.

Table (1)
Table (1) shows the annual return of 10 years i.e. from 2004 to 2014 of selected equity diversified
Mutual Fund schemes.
Sharpe Ratio: Sharpe ratio (SR) is an important measure that evaluates the return that a fund
has generated relative to the risk taken. Risk here is measured by SD. This ratio helps an
investor to know whether it is a safe bet to invest in this fund by taking the quantum of risk.
The higher the Sharpe ratio (SR), the better a funds return relative to the amount of risk
taken. In other words, a mutual fund with a higher SR is better because it implies that it has
generated higher returns for every unit of risk that was taken.
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected portfolio return - Risk free rate) / Portfolio standard deviation

On the basis of the findings of the study, the following suggestions are given below to
investors and mutual fund companies.
1. The investors first should set their investment goal and accordingly select the schemes and
option according to their goals and return earning needs.
2. As the equity mutual fund schemes do assume more risk than other income and balanced
schemes, risk takers are advised to select equity mutual funds schemes for investment.
3. The year wise analysis of the present study shows that no one sample scheme earned either
positive or negative value continuously during the study period. Hence investors are advised
that to select the schemes for investing based on the long term performance.
4. The fund managers must first identify the portfolio allocation under risk and return
proposition. After that they have to select the stocks for fund allocation.
5. In general, high level of risk provides high return. Hence the equity fund managers are
advised to select the correct stocks according to the expectation of investors.

6.3 CONCLUSION
From foregoing performance analysis of the selected equity diversified mutual fund schemes,
its clear that all the funds have performed well during the study period 2004 to 2014. It is
essential for investors to consider statistical parameters like alpha, beta, standard deviation
while investing in mutual funds apart from considering NAV and TOTAL RETURN in order
to ensure consistent performance of mutual funds. In the analysis we can conclude that for
investors point of view investment in UTI Transportation and Logistics Fund is better in order
to achieve maximum return whether for short term period or medium term period or long
term period. ICICI Prudential Dynamic Fund - Regular Plan, Birla Sun Life India
Opportunities Fund, SBI Magnum Global Fund and Birla Sun life Equity Fund are also
giving good return to the investors throughout the period. So it is good for the investors to
invest in these top mutual funds.
