INTRODUCTION

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.

1.1 MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY IN INDIA


THE EVOLUTION
The formation of Unit Trust of India marked the evolution of the Indian mutual fund industry
in the year 1963. The primary objective at that time was to attract the small investors and it
was made possible through the collective efforts of the Government of India and the Reserve
Bank of India. The history of mutual fund industry in India can be better understood divided
into following phases:
Phase 1. Establishment and Growth of Unit Trust of India - 1964-87
Unit Trust of India enjoyed complete monopoly when it was established in the year 1963
by an act of Parliament. UTI was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and it continued to
operate under the regulatory control of the RBI until the two were de-linked in 1978 and the
entire control was tranferred in the hands of Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI).
UTI launched its first scheme in 1964, named as Unit Scheme 1964 (US-64), which attracted
the largest number of investors in any single investment scheme over the years.
UTI launched more innovative schemes in 1970s and 80s to suit the needs of different
investors. It launched ULIP in 1971, six more schemes between 1981-84, Children's Gift
Growth Fund and India Fund (India's first offshore fund) in 1986, Mastershare (Inida's first
equity diversified scheme) in 1987 and Monthly Income Schemes (offering assured returns)
during 1990s. By the end of 1987, UTI's assets under management grew ten times to Rs 6700
crores.
Phase II. Entry of Public Sector Funds - 1987-1993
The Indian mutual fund industry witnessed a number of public sector players entering the
market in the year 1987. In November 1987, SBI Mutual Fund from the State Bank of
India became the first non-UTI mutual fund in India. SBI Mutual Fund was later followed by
Canbank Mutual Fund, LIC Mutual Fund, Indian Bank Muatual Fund, Bank of India Mutual
Fund, GIC Mutual Fund and PNB Mutual Fund. By 1993, the assets under management of
the industry increased seven times to Rs. 47,004 crores. However, UTI remained to be the
leader with about 80% market share.

Phase III. Emergence of Private Secor Funds - 1993-96


The permission given to private sector funds including foreign fund management companies
(most of them entering through joint ventures with Indian promoters) to enter the mutal fund
industry in 1993, provided a wide range of choice to investors and more competition in the
industry. Private funds introduced innovative products, investment techniques and investorservicing technology. By 1994-95, about 11 private sector funds had launched their schemes.
Phase IV. Growth and SEBI Regulation - 1996-2004
The mutual fund industry witnessed robust growth and stricter regulation from the SEBI after
the year 1996. The mobilisation of funds and the number of players operating in the industry
reached new heights as investors started showing more interest in mutual funds.
Invetors' interests were safeguarded by SEBI and the Government offered tax benefits to the
investors in order to encourage them. SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 was
introduced by SEBI that set uniform standards for all mutual funds in India. The Union
Budget in 1999 exempted all dividend incomes in the hands of investors from income tax.
Various Investor Awareness Programmes were launched during this phase, both by SEBI and
AMFI, with an objective to educate investors and make them informed about the mutual fund
industry.
In February 2003, the UTI Act was repealed and UTI was stripped of its Special legal status
as a trust formed by an Act of Parliament. The primary objective behind this was to bring all
mutual fund players on the same level. UTI was re-organised into two parts: 1. The Specified
Undertaking, 2. The UTI Mutual Fund.

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
supported by the following data:

Phase V. Growth and Consolidation - 2004 Onwards


The industry has also witnessed several mergers and acquisitions recently, examples of which
are acquisition of schemes of Alliance Mutual Fund by Birla Sun Life, Sun F&C Mutual
Fund and PNB Mutual Fund by Principal Mutual Fund. Simultaneously, more international
mutal fund players have entered India like Fidelity, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund etc.
There were 29 funds as at the end of March 2006. This is a continuing phase of growth of the
industry through consolidation and entry of new international and private sector players.

1.2 REASONS FOR SELECTING THIS TOPIC


We have selected this topic so as to analyse the selected equity diversified fund schemes in
India. Through this study we get to know about equity diversified mutual fund schemes

68,472

offered by various marketers. By comparative analysis of selected equity diversified mutual


funds we will be able to get the best company for Mutual investment. This project gives
insight about the Mutual fund and the risk associated with this. The need of the study arises
for learning the variables available that distinguish the mutual fund of selected companies.
Mutual Funds have become a widely popular and effective way for investors to participate in
financial markets in an easy, low-cost fashion, while muting risk characteristics by spreading
the investment across different types of securities, also known as diversification. It can play a
central role in an individual's investment strategy. They offer the potential for capital growth
and income through investment performance, dividends and distributions under the guidance
of a portfolio manager who makes investment decisions on behalf of mutual fund unit
holders. So Mutual fund is good topic for study and we will be able to get the theoretical
knowledge about mutual fund in detail.

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

level, investors are unique and are a highly heterogeneous group.


Gupta and Sehgal (1998) evaluated performance of 80 mutual fund schemes over four
years (1992-96). The study tested the proposition relating to fund diversification,
consistency of performance, parameter of performance and risk-return relationship.
The study noticed the existence of inadequate portfolio diversification and

consistency in performance among the sample schemes.


Shome (1994) based on growth schemes examined the performance of the mutual
fund industry between April 1993 to March 1994 with BSE SENSEX as market
surrogate. The study revealed that, in the case of 10 schemes, the average rate of
return on mutual funds were marginally lower than the market return while the

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,

investors attract to invest in Mutual Fund.


Roshni Jayams (2002) study brought out that equities had a good chance of
appreciation in future. The researcher was of the view that, investors should correctly
judge their investment objective and risk appetite before picking schemes, diversified
equity funds were typically safer than others and index funds were the best when
market movements were not certain. The researcher suggested Systematic Withdrawal
Plan (SWP) with growth option was more suitable for investors in need of regular

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

Updated: Jan 02 2014]


HDFC Top 200 emerges as the best fund with a 10-year track record during which it
gave an annual return (31.66%). In the three-year period also, it topped the category
return (17.46%). Therefore, that it's a 5-star rated fund [magazineBusiness Today

Edition: June 2011].


HDFC Equity (27% annualized return in three years), HDFC Capital Builder (25.5%)
and Tata Ethical Fund (25%) are the other 5-star funds in the group [Magazine

Business today Edition: June 2012].


In 2013, Over 90 per cent of the 183 equity schemes lagged the index from January 1
to December 12. Their average returns stood at a measly 2.5 per cent [Paper--Business
Line Published on: December 14, 2013].

PROBLEM STATEMENT & OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY


3.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The issues related to the choice of schemes among the public and private sector funds on the
one hand and high risk associated schemes such as equity funds, on the other, have become
highly important for every investor. It is relevant that even a single wrong decision of Fund
Manager may put the investors in a financial crisis, sometimes leading to their bankruptcy.

Therefore a proper performance evaluation measure is required as it will remove confusion


and help the small investors in selecting suitable Mutual Funds Schemes for investment. The
performance evaluation of Mutual Funds and the identification of successful Fund Managers
are of great interest to investors, general public and academicians. A number of studies have
been conducted across the world, including India, to find out the performance of mutual
funds by using different performance measures. Hence the present study was undertaken to
analyze the performance of Open Ended Equity Mutual Fund Schemes. It was against this
background, the present study was undertaken.

3.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:

To evaluate the performance of selected Equity Diversified Mutual Funds Schemes in

India on the basis of risk and returns.


To compare the performance of selected Equity Diversified Mutual Funds Schemes in
India on the criterias such as variance, CAGR, beta, alpha and performance ratios

like Sharpe ratio.


To rank the selected fund on the basis of risk and returns.

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.

4.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
1. Due to lack of time it is nearly impossible to get all the information to make the
project complete. Hence there may arise discrepencies in actual facts.
2. Due to lack of proper specialised skills in data processing the data may reveal in exact
inferences, however proper points have been taken to make it exact.
3. Since the fund selected for study were open ended equity based growth Mutual Funds
the fund composition kept on changimg over the time perios, so it become difficult to
understand the fund properties as historical data pertaining to the fund composition
was not properly available.
4. Because of unavailability of historical data and fund composition it was difficult to
ascertain the performance to the fund properties and a simple evaluation was done
against the market performance.
5. Due to lack of knowledge and experience the findings may not be true to a very large
extent.

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.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SELECTED EQUITY DIVERSIFIED


MUTUAL FUND SCHEMES BASED ON SHARPE RATIO ANALYSIS
AND RANKING

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
