PREFACE

It is true that the world outside your cozy home is many a time quite
different from what you have perceived. Similarly, it is possible that the
theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom may differ from the
practical knowledge.

In order to make an individual aware of the practical implication of


what he has learned. He is enriched with the practical training. I as a
student of M.B.A. got this opportunity to know what is actually happening
in a company. The main areas covered during the training period are:
Marketing department, HR department, Financial department, Customer
care department and Technical department,

I have taken training at Motilal Oswal Securities Ltd. I have sincerely


acquired all the necessary information for my project report during my
training period. I hope that this report will satisfy the object requirement.

• ABOUT MUTUAL FUND.

Introduction

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share
a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments
such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and
the capital appreciation realised are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units
owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it
offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a
relatively low cost. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:

· How you can invest in a mutual fund

There are two ways in which you can invest in a mutual fund.

1. A one-time outright payment

If you invest directly in the fund, you just hand over the cheque and you
get your fund units depending on the value of the units on that particular
day.

Let's say you want to invest Rs 10,000. All you have to do is approach the
fund and buy units worth Rs 10,000. There will be two factors determining
how many units you get.

Entry load

This is the fee you pay on the amount you invest. Let's say the entry load
is 2%. Two percent on Rs 10,000* would Rs 200. Now, you have just Rs
9,800 to invest.

NAV

The Net Asset Value is the price of a unit of a fund. Let's say that the NAV
on the day you invest is Rs 30.
33
S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

So you will get 326.67 units (Rs 9800 / 30).

2. Periodic investments

This is referred to as a SIP.

That means that, every month, you commit to investing, say, Rs 1,000 in
your fund. At the end of a year, you would have invested Rs 12,000 in
your fund.

Let's say the NAV on the day you invest in the first month is Rs 20; you
will get 50 units.

The next month, the NAV is Rs 25. You will get 40 units.

The following month, the NAV is Rs 18. You will get 55.56 units.

So, after three months, you would have 145.56 units. On an average, you
would have paid around Rs 21 per unit. This is because, when the NAV is high,
you get fewer units per Rs 1,000. When the NAV falls, you get more units per Rs
1,000.

What's a mutual fund SIP?

SIP is an investment option that is presently available only with mutual


funds. The other investment option comparable to SIPs is the recurring
34
S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

deposit schemes from Post office and banks. Basically, under an SIP
option an investor commits making a regular (monthly) investment in a
particular mutual fund.

Why you should invest in a Systematic Investment


Plan?

1. Discipline
The cardinal rule of building your corpus is to stay focused, invest regularly and
maintain discipline in your investing pattern. A few hundreds set aside every month
will not pinch your monthly disposable income too much. You will also find it easier
to part with a few hundreds every month rather than investing a big lump sum in
one go.

2. Power of compounding
Investment gurus always recommend that one must start investing early in life.
One of the main reasons for doing that is the benefit of compounding. To explain
with an example. Person A started investing Rs 10,000 per year at the age of 30.
Person B started investing the same amount every year at the age of 35. When
they attained the age of 60 respectively, person A had built a corpus of Rs 12.23
lakh while person B’s corpus was Rs 7.89 lakh. A rate of return of 8% compounded
has been assumed. So the difference of Rs 50,000 in amount invested made a
difference of more than Rs 4 lakh to their end corpus. That difference is due to the
effect of compounding. The longer the compounding period, the better for you.

Now instead of investing Rs 10,000 each year, suppose person A invested Rs


50,000 after every 5 years, starting at the age of 35. The total amount invested,
thus remains the same, which is Rs 3 lakh. However, when he is 60, his corpus will
be Rs 10.43 lakh. Again, he loses the advantage of compounding in the early
years.

3. Rupee cost averaging


This is especially true for investments in equities. When you invest the same
amount in a fund at regular intervals over time, you buy more units when the price
is lower. Thus, you would reduce your average cost per share or per unit over
time. This strategy is called 'rupee cost averaging'. With a sensible and long-term

35
S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

investment approach, rupee cost averaging can smooth out the market's ups and
downs and reduce the risks of investing in volatile markets.

Some examples:

HDFC MUTUAL FUND

4. Convenience
This is a very convenient way of investing. You have to just submit cheques with
the completed enrollment form. The mutual fund will deposit the cheques on the
requested date and credit the units to one’s account and will send the confirmation
for the same.

During the last year the economic crisis is their this particular time many people
loose their money in capital market but which person invest his or her money in
mutual fund’s SIP he or she keep a great return on his or her investment

We see the return & performance of this SIP’s during the


last year.

We see the return of this six mutual fund’s SIP the return of every SIP
is more than 50% therefore we say that this is the best instrument for the
invest in mutual fund during the this type of global economic crisis.

• How to invest in SIP?

Step 1: Select a mutual fund scheme of your choice with the payment option
as SIP

Step 2: Decide the Investment periodicity (frequency of making payments).


You can choose to make your investment on a monthly or quarterly
basis.

Step 3: Select the minimum investment amount. For instance, if you choose
to invest Rs 12,000 every year with a monthly SIP Option. Therefore

40
S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

you would be investing Rs 1,000 every month in your fund. By the end
of a year, you would have invested Rs 12,000 in your fund.

Step 4: The amount gets converted into units, depending on the Net Asset
Value (NAV). NAV is the market value per unit of a fund. If the NAV in
the first month is Rs 20, you will get 50 units. Similarly in the next
month if the NAV is Rs 25, you will get 40 units. The following month if
the NAV is Rs 18, then you will get 55.56 units. So, after three
months, you would have 145.56 units. On an average, you would have
paid around Rs 21 per unit.

Step 5: The units get accumulated over a period of time. You can stay
invested till the time you wish and redeem your units when you wish
to exit from the scheme. The units are redeemed at the market value
(NAV) and you get back your money with returns.

Systematic investment plan (in details)

We have already mentioned about SIPs in brief in the previous pages but
now going into details, we will see how the power of compounding could
benefit us. In such case, every small amounts invested regularly can grow
substantially. SIP gives a clear picture of how an early and regular investment
can help the investor in wealth creation. Due to its unlimited advantages SIP
could be redefined as “a methodology of fund investing regularly to benefit
regularly from the stock market volatility. In the later sections we will see
how returns generated from some of the SIPs have outperformed their
benchmark. But before moving on to that lets have a look at some of the top
performing SIPs and their return for 1 year:

41
S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

Total
Scheme Amount NAV NAV Date Amount
Reliance diversified power 30/5/200
sector retail 1000 62.74 8 14524.07
Reliance regular savings 22.20 30/5/200
equity 1000 8 8 13584.944
principal global 30/5/200
opportunities fund 1000 18.86 8 14247.728
DWS investment 30/5/200
opportunities fund 1000 35.31 8 13791.157
30/5/200
BOB growth fund 1000 42.14 8 13769.152

In the above chart, we can see how if we start investing Rs.1000 per month then
what return we’ll get for the total investment of Rs. 12000. There is reliance
diversified power sector retail giving the maximum returns of Rs. 2524.07 per year
which comes to 21% roughly. Next we can see if anybody would have undertaken
the SIP in Principal would have got returns of app. 18%. We can see reliance regular
savings equity, DWS investment opportunities and BOB growth fund giving returns
of 13.20%, 14.92%, and 14.74% respectively which is greater than any other
monthly investment options. Thus we can easily make out how SIP is beneficial for
us. Its hassle free, it forces the investors to save and get them into the habit of
saving. Also paying a small amount of Rs. 1000 is easy and convenient for them,
thus putting no pressure on their pockets.
Now we will analyze some of the equity fund SIP s of Birla Sunlife with BSE 200
and bank fixed deposits In a tabular format as well as graphical.

S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

Birla SL tax relief

fund 114 114000 388701 669219
Birla frontline
equity fund 66 66000 156269 181127

In the above case, we have taken three funds of Birla sunlife namely Birla sunlife
tax relief ’96, Birla sunlife equity fund and Birla sunlife frontline equity fund. All
these three funds follow the same benchmark ie; BSE 200. Here, we have shown
how one would have benefitted if he would have put his money into these schemes
since their inception. And the amount even is a meager Rs. 1000 per month.
Starting from Birla frontline equity fund, we could spot that if someone would have
invested Rs. 1000 per month resulting into total investment of Rs. 66000 then it
would have amounted to rs.156269 if invested in BSE 200 whereas the fund would
have given a total return of Rs 181127. Now moving next to Birla sunlife equity

43
S.K.School of Business Management,Patan

fund, a total investment of 114000 for a total of 114 months at BSE 200 would have
given a total return of Rs. 388701 whereas the fund gave a total return of Rs.
669219, nearly double the return generated at BSE 200. And now the cream of all
the investments, Birla sunlife tax relief ’96. A total investment of Rs. 144000 for a
period of 12 years at BSE 200 would have given total returns of just Rs. 553190 but
the Birla sunlife tax relief ’96 gave an unbelievable total return of Rs 1684008.
Thus the above case very well explains the power of compounding and early
investment. We have seen how a meager amount of Rs. 144000 turned into Rs.
1684008. It may appear unbelievable for many but SIPs have turned this into reality
and the power of compounding is speaking loud, attracting more and more investors
to create wealth through SIPs.
