INTRODUCTION Of MUTUAL FUNDS

Mutual Funds over the years have gained immensely in their popularity. Apart from the many advantages that investing in mutual funds provide like diversification, professional management, the ease of investment process has proved to be a major enabling factor. However, with the introduction of innovative products, the world of mutual funds nowadays has a lot to offer to its investors. With the introduction of diverse options, investors needs to choose a mutual fund that meets his risk acceptance and his risk capacity levels and has similar investment objectives as the investor. With the plethora of schemes available in the Indian markets, an investors needs to evaluate and consider various factors before making an investment decision. Since not everyone has the time or inclination to invest and do the analysis himself, the job is best left to a professional.

Since Indian economy is no more a closed market, and has started integrating with the world markets, external factors which are complex in nature affect us too. Factors such as an increase in short-term US interest rates, the hike in crude prices, or any major happening in Asian market have a deep impact on the Indian stock market. Although it is not possible for an individual investor to understand Indian companies and investing in such an environment, the process can become fairly time consuming.

Mutual funds (whose fund managers are paid to understand these issues and whose Asset Management Company invests in research) provide an option of investing without getting lost in the complexities. Most importantly, mutual funds provide risk diversification of a portfolio is amongst the primary tenets of portfolio structuring, and a necessary one to reduce the level of risk assumed by the portfolio holder. Most of the investors are not necessarily well qualified to apply the theories of portfolio structuring to their holdings and hence would be better off leaving that to a professional. Mutual funds represent one such option.

Definition- 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 realized 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 mutual fund industry has been in India for a long time. This came into existence in 1963 with the establishment of Unit Trust of India, a joint effort by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India. The next two decades from 1986 to 1993 can be termed as the period of public sector funds with entry of new public sector players into the mutual fund industry namely, Life Insurance Corporation of India and General Insurance Corporation of India.

The year of 1993 marked the beginning of a new era in the Indian mutual fund industry with the entry of private players like Morgan Stanley, J.P Morgan, and Capital International 1. This was the first time when the mutual fund regulations came into existence. SEBI (Security Exchange Board of India) was established under which all the mutual funds in India were required to be registered. SEBI was set up as a governing body to protect the interest of investor. By the end of 2008, the number of players in the industry grew enormously with 462 fund houses functioning in the country. With the rise of the mutual fund industry, establishing a mutual fund association became a prerequisite. This is when AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds India) was set up in 1995 as a nonprofit organization. Today AMFI ensures mutual funds function in a professional and healthy manner thereby protecting the interest of the mutual funds as well as its investors. The mutual fund industry is considered as one of the most dominant players in the world economy and is an important constituent of the financial sector and India is no exception. The industry has witnessed startling growth in terms of the products and services offered, returns churned, volumes generated and the international players who have contributed to this growth. Today the industry offers different schemes ranging from equity and debt to fixed income and money market. The market has graduated from offering plain vanilla and equity debt products to an array of diverse products such as gold funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), and capital protection oriented funds and even thematic funds. In addition investments in overseas markets have also been a significant step. Due credit for this evolution can be given to the regulators for building an appropriate framework and to the fund houses for launching such different products. All these reasons have encouraged the traditional conservative investor, from parking fund in fixed deposits and government schemes to investing in other products giving higher returns. It is interesting to note that the major benefits of investing in a mutual funds is to capitalize on the opportunity of a professionally managed fund by a set of fund managers who apply their expertise in investment. This is beneficial to the investors who may not have the relevant knowledge and skill in investing. Besides investors have an opportunity to invest in a diversified basket of stocks at a relatively low price. Each investor owns a portion of the fund and hence shares the rise and fall in the value of the fund. A mutual fund may invest in stocks, cash, bonds or a combination of these. Mutual funds are considered as one of the best available investment options as compare to others alternatives. They are very cost efficient and also easy to invest in. The biggest advantage of mutual funds is they provide diversification, by reducing risk & maximizing returns.

India is ranked one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Despite this huge progression in the industry, there still lies huge potential and room for growth. India has a saving rate of more than 35% of GDP, with 80% of the population who save3. These savings could be channelized in the mutual funds sector as it offers a wide investment option. In addition, focusing on the rapidly growing tier II and tier III cities within India will provide a huge scope for this sector. Further tapping rural markets in India will benefit mutual fund companies from the growth in agriculture and allied sectors. With subsequent easing of regulations, it is estimated that the mutual fund industry will grow at a rate of 30% - 35% in the next 3 to 5 years and reach US 300 billion by 2015.As it can be noted, there is huge growth and potential in the mutual fund industry. The development of this sector so far has been commendable and with the above positive factors we are looking at a more evolved industry.

Significance of the Study

Over the last couple of years mutual funds have given impressive returns, especially equity funds. The growth period first started during early 2005 with markets appreciating significantly. With 2006 approaching more towards 2007, markets rallied like never before. The financial year 2007-08 was a year of reckoning for the mutual fund industry in many ways. Most stocks were trading in green. All fund houses boasted of giving phenomenal returns. Many funds outperformed markets. Equity markets were in the limelight. Investors who were not exposed to equity stocks suddenly infused funds. Growth funds which aim at giving capital appreciation invest in growth stocks of the fastest growing companies. Since these funds are more risky providing above average earnings, investors pay a premium for the same. These funds have grown to become extensively popular in India. All the leading fund houses offer several schemes under the growth funds today. The remarkable performance of this industry has attracted many researchers to study and examine the growth, the performance of funds, the players in the market and the regulators. It is interesting to learn the growth phase of these funds over this period.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY:
To compare the performance of mutual funds during recession and the post recession period.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study is to provide an insight into the current situation of recession in our Indian economy and how it is affecting the mutual funds in India. In future it will help the general people who read this report as to how are mutual funds has improved and to let them know whether it is safe to keep the money with funds in future. It will help investors to know the performance of various mutual funds during and after recession period. As a result it will give an overall scenario and performance of mutual funds during and after recession. It can be very beneficial for the students doing their project based on this topic, for other research. It may also help different financial institution and insurance sector on to make them prepare for such type of uncertainties.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
A number of researchers have examined mutual fund performance persistence, but the results are. Grinblatt and Titman (1992) find that there is positive persistence in mutual fund performance. They find that part of the persistence is due to differences in fees and transaction costs across funds. They conclude that past performance does provide useful information for investors. Fama & French (1993) proposed a three-factor model for mutual funds which takes into account the fund size and book-to-market in addition to the market factor. They indicate that this model can be used for various purposes including portfolio selection, evaluating performance, measuring abnormal returns and estimating the cost of capital. Argue that this model by Fama & French is better than CAPM based portfolio analysis procedures and "advocates a simple and straightforward way" of carrying out any analysis. Sharpe, William F. (1966) suggested a measure for the evaluation of portfolio performance. Drawing on results obtained in the field of portfolio analysis, economist Jack L. Trey nor has suggested a new predictor of mutual fund performance, one that differs from virtually all those used previously by incorporating the volatility of a fund's return in a simple yet meaningful manner .by. He argued mutual funds underperform the market by the amount of expenses they charge the investors. There are various factors that affect the performance of mutual funds. have attempted to research on the factors, especially on the cost sides, that affect the performance of mutual funds. These two researches came up with several cost side factors with load fees, sales charges, redemption fees, transaction costs, expense ratio. Mishra, et al., (2002) measured mutual fund performance using lower partial moment. In this paper, measures of evaluating portfolio performance based
8

on lower partial moment are developed. Risk from the lower partial moment is measured by taking into account only those states in which return is below a pre-specified target rate like risk-free rate. Asebedo & Grable (2004) identified as an important factor influencing mutual funds' performance. He argues that fund managers control all sorts of decision making related to investment by the fund, therefore their style influences the fund to a great deal. Fund managers also control the diversification and turnover of fund's assets which again influence fund performance (Malhotra & Mcleod, 1997 and Fredman, 1999). Athanasios G Noulas, John A Papanastasiou, John Lazaridis (2005) current paper evaluates the performance of Greek equity funds during the period 1997-2000. The evaluation is based on the analysis of risk and return. The risk is measured through the coefficient of variation and the systematic risk. The results indicate that there is a positive relation between risk and return for the whole period, while the betas for all funds are smaller than one. Bruce A Costa, Keith Jakob, Gary E Porter(2006) Mutual fund performance studies that examine returns over several years typically show that fund managers significantly underperform on a risk-adjusted basis. Using a four-factor riskadjustment model, the authors of this article observe similar results during the bull market of the 1990s. However, they report that when they run their model using a moving 36-month window, they show that managers, on average, do not underperform on a risk-adjusted basis during the two bear markets that occurred within the full sample period 1990-2001. In fact, for some manager experience levels, they report significant positive risk-adjusted performance, on average, during the latest bear market. Contrary to some prior studies and popular belief, the level of risk-adjusted performance they find is not positively related to manager experience. The article's conclusions indicate that market trends rather than manager experience more clearly influence the level of risk-adjusted returns generated by fund managers, and thus investors should not pick mutual funds based solely on the tenure of the funds' managers. Timo Kuosmanen. (Oct 2007) propose a method for mutual fund performance measurement and bestpractice benchmarking, which endogenously identifies a dominating benchmark portfolio for each evaluated mutual fund. Dominating benchmarks provide information about efficiency improvement potential as well as portfolio strategies for achieving them. Portfolio diversification possibilities are accounts for by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Portfolio risk is accounted for in terms of the full return distribution by utilizing Stochastic Dominance (SD) criteria. John A Haslem, H Kent Baker, David M Smith (2007) apply a simple statistical method to identify domestic equity mutual funds with high management fees and expense ratios. The identified funds with management fees and expense ratios in the two highest standard deviation classes each represent 1.5% of Morningstar's total sample of 6,179 funds. We also examine the association of management fees and expense ratios to descriptive performance measures by Morningstar categories and overall across each of four standard deviation classes. We find a negative association between each performance measure and fund expense ratios in the Morningstar category overall but mixed results for management fees. Marcin Kacperczyk, Clemens Sialm, Lu Zheng (2007) study the relation between the industry concentration and the performance of actively managed U.S. mutual funds from 1984 to 2003. Our results indicate that the most concentrated funds perform better after controlling for risk and style differences using factor-based performance measures. This finding suggests that investment ability is more evident
9

among managers who hold portfolios concentrated in a few industries. Rongli Yuan, Jason Zezhong Xiao, Hong Zou (Aug 2008. ) study tests empirically the impact of mutual funds' ownership on firm performance in China, using a large sample for the period of 2001-2005. We find that equity ownership by mutual funds has a positive effect on firm performance. The result is robust to several measures of firm performance and various estimations. Our finding supports recent regulatory efforts in China to promote mutual funds as a corporate governance mechanism and suggests that pooling diffuse minority interests of individual shareholders who are prone to free-rider problems via mutual funds is beneficial. Aymen Karoui, Iwan Meier (2009) study the performance and portfolio characteristics of 828 newly launched US equity mutual funds over the period 1991-2005. These fund starts initially earn, on average, higher excess returns and higher abnormal returns. Their risk-adjusted performance is also superior to existing funds. Furthermore, we provide evidence for short-term persistence among top-performing fund starts, however, a substantial fraction of funds drop from the top to the bottom decile over two subsequent periods. Analyzing portfolio characteristics, we find that returns of fund starts exhibit higher ratios of unsystematic to total risk. Portfolios of new funds are typically also less diversified in terms of number of stocks and industry concentration and are invested in smaller and less liquid stocks. William J Bertin, Laurie Prather.( Dec 2009) study reports on FOFs' characteristics and performance relative to traditional equity mutual funds and finds that FOFs compare favorably. FOFs with identified managers outperform their unidentified counterparts, and FOFs that invest in-family outperform both traditional equity funds and those FOFs investing out-of-family. Finally, replicating FOFs' holdings can be prohibitively expensive since they commonly hold funds with high minimum initial investments, closed funds and/ or funds that are restricted to a particular investor type. Ranjini Jha, Bob Korkie, Harry J Turtle: (Oct 2009) develop conditional alpha performance measures that are consistent with conditional mean-variance analysis and the magnitude and sign of the implied true conditional time-varying alphas. The sequence of conditional alphas and betas is estimable from surprisingly simple unconditional regressions. Other common performance measures are derivable from the conditional investment opportunity set based on its conditional asset return moments. Our bootstrap analysis of Morningstar mutual fund returns data demonstrates that the differences between existing conditional alpha measures and our proposed alpha are substantive for typical parameterizations.Yong Chen, Wayne Ferson, Helen Peters. ( 2010 ) paper evaluates the ability of bond funds to "market time" nine common factors related to bond markets. Timing ability generates nonlinearity in fund returns as a function of common factors, but there are several non-timing-related sources of nonlinearity. Controlling for the non-timing-related nonlinearity is important. Funds' returns are more concave than benchmark returns, and this would appear as poor timing ability in naive models. With controls, the timing coefficients appear neutral to weakly positive. Adjusting for nonlinearity, the performance of many bond funds is significantly negative on an after-cost basis, but significantly positive on a before-cost basis. Diana P Budiono, Martin Martens (2010 ) the popular investment strategy in the literature is to use only past performance to select mutual funds. We investigate whether an investor can select superior funds by additionally using fund characteristics. After considering the fund fees, we find that combining information on past performance, turnover ratio, and
10

ability produces a yearly excess net return of 8.0%, whereas an investment strategy that uses only past performance generates 7.1%. Adjusting for systematic risks and then using fund characteristics, increases yearly alpha significantly from 0.8% to 1.7%. The strategy that also uses fund characteristics requires fewer turnovers. Akmal, Bashir Ahmed Khilji, Irfan Ahmed, Nisar Ali Asghar, Javed Ali.( Aug 2010) Mutual funds are considered as vehicle for investment in stock market. These not only reduce the risk but also reduce the transaction cost. Mutual performance is a common topic in all country to be studied. This paper evaluates the mutual funds in Pakistan; provide information to different stake holder regarding current and future developments. Simple descriptive tools employed to intemperate data. Result shows that on overall basis, funds industry outperform the market. The future of industry depends on the performance of funds industry and the role of regulatory bodies. Martin Eling, Roger Faust.:( Aug 2010). findings of this study is Use of short selling and derivatives is limited in most emerging markets because such instruments are not as readily available as they are in developed capital markets. These limitations raise questions about the value added provided by hedge funds, especially compared to traditional mutual funds active in these markets. We use five existing performance measurement models plus a new asset-style factor model to identify the return sources and the alpha generated by both types of funds. We analyze subperiods, different market environments, and structural breaks. Our results indicate that some hedge funds generate significant positive alpha, whereas most mutual funds do not outperform traditional benchmarks. We find that hedge funds are more active in shifting their asset allocation. The higher degree of freedom that hedge funds enjoy in their investment style might thus be one explanation for the differences in performance. Javier ( 2010.) purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of a sample of socially responsible mutual funds (SRMFs) and a matched sample of conventional funds during the 1997-2005 time periods. On the basis of the raw returns, socially responsible funds performed better than some market indexes but this evidence of outperformance disappears once risk is incorporated into the analysis. Consistent with previous studies, no evidence was found of out performance by socially responsible funds. Also, the difference between the performance of SRMFs and conventional mutual funds is not statistically significant. This result is robust to the use of two additional measures of risk-adjusted performance. Yee Cheng Loon (Feb 2011) Model uncertainty makes it difficult to draw clear inference about mutual fund performance persistence. I propose a new performance measure, Bayesian model averaged (BMA) alpha, which explicitly accounts for model uncertainty. Using BMA alphas, I find evidence of performance persistence in a large sample of US funds. There is a positive and asymmetric relation between flows and past BMA alphas, suggesting that fund investors respond to the information in BMA alphas. My findings are robust to various sensitivity analyses, including alternative measures of post-ranking performance, flows and total net assets, and alternative econometric model specifications. Diana P Budiono, Martin Martens Feb.(2011) popular investment strategy in the literature is to use only past performance to select mutual funds. We investigate whether an investor can select superior funds by additionally using fund characteristics. After considering the fund fees, we find that combining information on past performance, turnover ratio, and ability produces a yearly excess net return of 8.0%, whereas an investment strategy that uses only past performance generates 7.1%. Adjusting for systematic
11

risks, and then using fund characteristics, increases yearly alpha significantly from 0.8% to 1.7%. The strategy that also uses fund characteristics requires fewer turnovers.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. The Research Methodology includes the various methods and techniques for conducting a Research. Marketing Research is the systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of data and finding relevant solution to a specific marketing situation or problem. D. Slesinger and M.Stephenson in the encyclopedia of Social Sciences define Research as the manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the practice of an art.

Research is, thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. The purpose of Research is to discover answers to the Questions through the application of scientific procedures. Our project has a specified framework for collecting data in an effective manner.

A successful completion of any project and getting genuine results from that depends upon the method used by the researcher. The plan or the methodology for this study is laid upon

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION:

For the purpose of this study, there are many mutual funds available in India. We are selecting 15 mutual funds for our study. All the funds were selected by judgmental sampling. All the funds selected for the study are open-ended equity funds under the growth option. The Net Asset Values (NAV) returns, for all the15funds are from 2006 to 2010, which is the period of this study. We take all these mutual funds: ICICI Pru Discovery Fund (G) DSP-BR Micro Cap Fund - RP (G) Birla Sun Life Dividend Yield Plus (G) Templeton India Equity Income Fund (G) Reliance Equity Opportunities Fund - Retail Plan (G) HDFC Equity Fund (G) Tata Dividend Yield Fund (G) SBI Magnum Emerging Businesses Fund (G) HDFC Equity Fund (G) UTI Dividend Yield Fund (G) Principal Emerging Blue-chip Fund (G) Franklin Asian Equity Fund (G) HDFC Core & Satellite Fund (G) UTI Master Value Fund (G)

Returns:
Returns are the yield that an asset generates over a period of time. It is the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the investment over a period of time. In this study the fund returns have been calculated for each of the period. There are 15funds with a 5 year data, which effectively gives average returns for the period. The main purpose of this exercises the fund returns and analysis the funds performance. The fund returns for each of the period were calculated as follows:

Current NAV Previous NAV Previous NAV

14

x 100

The BSE Sensex returns were calculated as follows: Current Closing Previous Closing Previous Closing x 100

NAV OF MUTUAL FUND

NAV is calculated by most funds after the close of the exchanges each day by taking the closing market value of all securities owned plus all other assets such as cash, subtracting all liabilities, then dividing the result (total net assets) by the total number of shares outstanding. The number of shares outstanding can vary each day depending on the number of purchases and redemptions.

ANALYSIS:When we analysis the NAV of all these mutual fund we find the value of particular mutual fund and we find in that HDFC EQUITY FUND has higher NET ASSETS value is very high. HDFC has 112.43 NAV in 2006 to 2010. IN 2008 all mutual funds give not higher return because the NAV all these mutual funds is decline and investors not invest in the mutual funds.

SHARPES PERFORMANCE INDEX

The Sharpe Index is a measure with which you may measure the performance of your portfolio over a given period of time. The important aspect of the Sharpe Index is that this performance indicator takes into consideration the risk of the portfolio. In order to use the Sharpe Index, you must know three things; the portfolio return, the risk-free rate of return, and the Standard Deviation of the portfolio. For the risk-free rate of return, you may use the average return (over the period of time) of some government bond or note. The Standard Deviation of the portfolio is a measure of the systematic risk of the portfolio. Using the Standard Deviation, rather than the beta (as in the Treynor Index), you are assuming that the portfolio is NOT a diversified portfolio. If you are looking at the return of a mutual fund, this figure is typically available from the fund company itself (this and other measures are also available from the American Association of Individual Investors' Guide to Mutual Funds). The Sharpe ratio has as its principal advantage that it is directly computable from any observed series of returns without need for additional information surrounding the source of profitability. Other ratios such as the bias ratio have recently been introduced into the literature to handle cases
16

where the observed volatility may be an especially poor proxy for the risk inherent in a timeseries of observed returns. The returns measured can be of any frequency (i.e. daily, weekly, monthly or annually), as long as they are normally distributed, as the returns can always be annualized. Herein lies the underlying weakness of the ratio - not all asset returns are normally distributed. Abnormalities like kurtosis, fatter tails and higher peaks, or skewness on the distribution can be a problematic for the ratio, as standard deviation doesn't have the same effectiveness when these problems exist. Sometimes it can be downright dangerous to use this formula when returns are not normally distributed.

For those of you who want to know the formula for the index:-

Sharpe = (Portfolio Return - Risk-Free Return) / Standard Deviation

ANALYSIS:- when we analysis the data of above mutual fund we find these results, which is as follow: According to Sharpe performance index we find the result that if any mutual fund has higher st (index) that means it has a better ranked and it performance is very better than the Others mutual funds. And if a mutual fund has not very well higher st that means it is a great risk to earn the higher return and its adjusted return was not the most desirable.

In this analysis we can say that TATA DIVIDEND has highly returned because it has higher index in the recession. Other mutual fund like SBI, HDFC CORE, RELIANCE, HDFCEQUITY, and RELIANCE REGULAR all has 8% of index in term of percentage. LIC FM, TATA FLOATER, CANARAMUTUAL has index in negative it means that the

ANALYSIS: When we analysis these data we find that in 2006 HDFC EQUITY AND RELIANCE not best risk-adjusted average rate of return. These fund give performance in negative that means it not have better index and return of mutual fund is not efficient to satisfy the diversification. In 2007 RELIANCE FUND again give negative returns and UTI MASTER, HDFC EQUITY, FRAKLIN ASIAN the higher index value and give highly return that fund most desirable. In 2008 only RELIANCE FUND give highly index performance all others fund not performed very well, all these fund give the negative return and they are not provide risk-adjusted rate of return. In 2009 all mutual fund give highly index performance and the return of all these fund is high that means all these fund in 2009 all these funds give better performance. In 2010 all the mutual fund return is very less and the performance of all these funds is not strong index and they are not very desirable.

So our null hypothesis is rejected that the recession has no impact on the mutual fund
19

performance. And our alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Findings:
Finding of this study is When we analysis the data of 2006 to 2010 of 15 mutual funds in India during and after recession and find that there is effect on mutual fund industry. In 2006 to 2010 there is fluctuation in the market so that market prices, returns, performance index very rapidly change during and after recession. So our null hypothesis is rejected that the recession has no impact on the mutual fund performance. And our alternative hypothesis is accepted. In during recession mutual fund NAV and performance is decline. There are decline in NAV the (prices in the market is decline) and returns of mutual fund is negative in during recession. In the 2009- 2010 there is better performance of mutual fund and market condition improve rather than in 2006 to 2008.

We find that the following points which are as follows:1. We found Net asset value of all the 15 mutual funds and we found that HDFC EQUITY fund has higher Net asset value which is 29% and TEMPLETON INDIA and FRANKLIN ASIAN have lower net asset value which is only 2%. 2. According to Sharpe performance index we found that if any mutual fund has higher Sharpe Performance (index) that means it has a better ranked. 3. We found that TATA DIVIDEND has highly returned because it has higher index in the recession and other mutual fund like SBI, HDFC CORE, RELIANCE, HDFCEQUITY, and RELIANCE REGULAR all has 8% of index in term of percentage. 4. We also found that LIC FM, TATA FLOATER, CANARAMUTUAL has index in negative. We found that in 2006 HDFC EQUITY AND RELIANCE not best risk-adjusted average rate of return. These funds give performance in negative. We found that in 2007 RELIANCE FUND again give negative returns and UTI MASTER, HDFC EQUITY, FRAKLIN ASIAN the higher index value and give highly return that fund most desirable. We found that in 2008 only RELIANCE FUND give highly index performance all others fund not performed very well, all these fund give the negative return and they are not provide risk-adjusted rate of return. 5. We find that in 2009 all mutual fund give highly index performance and the return of these entire fund is high. We found that in 2010 all the mutual fund return is very less and

20

the performance of all these funds is not strong index and they are not very desirable.

Suggestion & recommendation

Money is tight in every recession and you may wonder how to survive. It is more a matter of planning before the recession hits because there are always good and bad times. It is a good idea to take the necessary precautions to survive a recession. With some creativity and insight where to cut down expenses, and picking the best investment instruments, you can boost your savings. On the basis of our findings we conclude that whole Indian economy has effected by recession. In mutual fund stocks there is impact on stock market. Prices of mutual funds, returns, performance index all things fluctuated by recession. In this time market goes down and investors dont want to invest their money in mutual fund because the performance and returns are rapidly changed. The performance of mutual fund is change during and after recession. NAV of different mutual fund is going down, after 2008 there is better in mutual fund in comparison on 2006, 07, 08. So last we can say that recession impact on whole market of mutual fund. The key for making profit with stocks is to buy low and sell high. A recession is the perfect moment to buy stocks because most stocks are undervalued and you can best compare the indices which might help you to evaluate stocks of different companies or sectors with best chances to increase faster after recession is over.

So we suggest to the investor for following points. Investors should use the diversification in the mutual fund which minimizes their risk. They identify which mutual fund gives the better performance according to that select the mutual fund Portfolio. Analysis the NAV of all mutual funds after that we can find the performance of mutual funds. Use which mutual fund which is not so flexible, in which less fluctuation. A far better strategy is to build a diversified mutual fund portfolio. A properly constructed portfolio, including a mix of both stock and bonds funds, provides an opportunity to participate in stock market growth and cushions your portfolio when the stock market is in decline. Such a portfolio can be constructed by purchasing individual funds in proportions. Costs are the biggest problem with mutual funds. These costs eat into your
21

return, and they are the main reason why the majority of funds end up with subpar performance. Being well-diversified financial instruments, they are less risky than if you were to invest in individual stocks. You can reap investment opportunities from all over the world, as they are invested globally and into different financial instruments. They are managed by professional fund managers who aim to obtain higher returns for your money. You do not need to monitor equity markets closely for fluctuations. There is a wide selection of mutual funds available to meet the different investment objectives of investors. Staying invested over time, these returns can compound to very attractive amounts, unlike savings deposits.

CAPSTONE PROJECT REVIEW

PERFORMANCE OF MUTUAL FUNDS DURING & AFTER RECESSION IN INDIA

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into the current situation of recession in our Indian economy and how it is affecting the mutual funds in India. In this study we take 15 mutual funds in India which have NAV above the 9%. And after that we measured the performance of mutual fund during and after recession. So we take the time period 2006 to 2010. In we analysis on the basic of NAV, returns, market value, and performance index. And find the impact of recession. For analysis we use Sharpe index model and we take the portfolio return , NAV. Finding of this study is When we analysis the data of 2006 to 2010 of 15 mutual funds in India during and after recession and find that there is effect on mutual fund industry. In 2006 to 2010 there is fluctuation in the market so that market prices, returns, performance index very rapidly change during and after recession. So our null hypothesis is rejected that the recession has no impact on the mutual fund performance. And our alternative hypothesis is accepted.

The remarkable performance of this industry has attracted many researchers to study and

24

examine the growth, the performance of funds, the players in the market and the regulators. It is interesting to learn the growth phase of these funds over this period. The mutual fund industry has been in India for a long time. This came into existence in 1963 with the establishment of Unit Trust of India, a joint effort by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India. The next two decades from 1986 to 1993 can be termed as the period of public sector funds with entry of new public sector players into the mutual fund industry namely, Life Insurance Corporation of India and General Insurance Corporation of India.

Significance of the Study

Over the last couple of years mutual funds have given impressive returns, especially equity funds. The growth period first started during early 2005 with markets appreciating significantly. With 2006 approaching more towards 2007, markets rallied like never before. The financial year 2007-08 was a year of reckoning for the mutual fund industry in many ways. Most stocks were trading in green. All fund houses boasted of giving phenomenal returns. Many funds outperformed markets. Equity markets were in the limelight. Investors who were not exposed to equity stocks suddenly infused funds. Growth funds which aim at giving capital appreciation invest in growth stocks of the fastest growing companies. Since these funds are more risky providing above average earnings, investors pay a premium for the same. These funds have grown to become extensively popular in India. All the leading fund houses offer several schemes under the growth funds today.The remarkable performance of this industry has attracted many researchers to study and examine the growth, the performance of funds, the players in the market and the regulators. It is interesting to learn the growth phase of these funds over this period.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY:
To compare the performance of mutual funds during recession and the post recession period.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study is to provide the current situation of recession in our Indian economy and how it is affecting the mutual funds in India. In future it will help the general people who read this report as to how are mutual funds has improved and to let them know whether it is safe to keep the money with funds in future. It will help investors to know the performance of various mutual funds during and after recession period. As a result it will give an overall scenario and performance of mutual funds during and after recession. It can be very beneficial for the students doing their project based on this topic, for other research. It may also help different financial institution and insurance sector on to make them prepare for such type of uncertainties.

Review of literature
A number of researchers have examined mutual fund performance persistence, but the results are. Grinblatt and Titman (1992) find that there is positive persistence in mutual fund performance. They find that part of the persistence is due to differences in fees and transaction costs across funds. They conclude that past performance does provide useful information for investors. Fama & French (1993) proposed a three-factor model for mutual funds which takes into account the fund size and book-to-market in addition to the market factor They indicate that this model can be used for various purposes including portfolio selection, evaluating performance, measuring abnormal returns and estimating the cost of capital. argue that this model by Fama & French is better than CAPM based portfolio analysis procedures and "advocates a simple and straightforward way" of carrying out any analysis. Sharpe, William F. (1966) suggested a measure for the evaluation of portfolio performance. Drawing on results obtained in the field of portfolio analysis, economist Jack L. Trey nor has suggested a new predictor of mutual fund performance, one that differs from virtually all those used previously by incorporating the volatility of a fund's return in a simple yet meaningful manner .by. He argued mutual funds underperform the market by the amount of expenses they charge the investors. There are various factors that affect the performance of mutual funds. Have attempted to research on the factors, especially on the cost sides, that affect the performance of mutual funds. These two researches came up with several cost side factors with load fees, sales charges, redemption fees, transaction costs, expense ratio. Mishra, et al., (2002) measured mutual fund performance using lower partial moment. In this paper, measures of evaluating portfolio performance based on lower partial moment are developed. Risk from the lower partial moment is measured by taking into account only those states in which return is below a pre-specified target rate like risk-free rate.

26

Asebedo & Grable (2004) identified as an important factor influencing mutual funds' performance. He argues that fund managers control all sorts of decision making related to investment by the fund, therefore their style influences the fund to a great deal. Fund managers also control the diversification and turnover of fund's assets which again influence fund performance (Malhotra & Mcleod, 1997 and Fredman, 1999).Timo Kuosmanen. (Oct 2007) propose a method for mutual fund performance measurement and best-practice benchmarking, which endogenously identifies a dominating benchmark portfolio for each evaluated mutual fund. Dominating benchmarks provide information about efficiency improvement potential as well as portfolio strategies for achieving them. Portfolio diversification possibilities are accounts for by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Portfolio risk is accounted for in terms of the full return distribution by utilizing Stochastic Dominance (SD) criteria. Rongli Yuan, Jason Zezhong Xiao, Hong Zou(.: Aug 2008. ) study tests empirically the impact of mutual funds' ownership on firm performance in China, using a large sample for the period of 2001-2005. We find that equity ownership by mutual funds has a positive effect on firm performance. The result is robust to several measures of firm performance and various estimations. Our finding supports recent regulatory efforts in China to promote mutual funds as a corporate governance mechanism and suggests that pooling diffuse minority interests of individual shareholders who are prone to free-rider problems via mutual funds is beneficial. William J Bertin, Laurie Prather.(: Dec 2009) study reports on FOFs' characteristics and performance relative to traditional equity mutual funds and finds that FOFs compare favorably. FOFs with identified managers outperform their unidentified counterparts, and FOFs that invest in-family outperform both traditional equity funds and those FOFs investing out-of-family. Finally, replicating FOFs' holdings can be prohibitively expensive since they commonly hold funds with high minimum initial investments, closed funds and/ or funds that are restricted to a particular investor type.Ranjini Jha, Bob Korkie, Harry J Turtle: (Oct 2009) develop conditional alpha performance measures that are consistent with conditional mean-variance analysis and the magnitude and sign of the implied true conditional time-varying alphas. The sequence of conditional alphas and betas is estimable from surprisingly simple unconditional regressions. Other common performance measures are derivable from the conditional investment opportunity set based on its conditional asset return moments. Our bootstrap analysis of Morningstar mutual fund returns data demonstrates that the differences between existing conditional alpha measures and our proposed alpha are substantive for typical parameterizations.Yong Chen, Wayne Ferson, Helen Peters. ( 2010 ) evaluates the ability of bond funds to "market time" nine common factors related to bond markets. Timing ability generates nonlinearity in fund returns as a function of common factors, but there are several non-timing-related sources of nonlinearity. Controlling for the non-timing-related

27

nonlinearity is important. Funds' returns are more concave than benchmark returns, and this would appear as poor timing ability in naive models. With controls, the timing coefficients appear neutral to weakly positive. Adjusting for nonlinearity, the performance of many bond funds is significantly negative on an after-cost basis, but significantly positive on a before-cost basis. Diana P Budiono, Martin Martens.( 2010 )The popular investment strategy in the literature is to use only past performance to select mutual funds. We investigate whether an investor can select superior funds by additionally using fund characteristics. After considering the fund fees, we find that combining information on past performance, turnover ratio, and ability produces a yearly excess net return of 8.0%, whereas an investment strategy that uses only past performance generates 7.1%. Adjusting for systematic risks, and then using fund characteristics, increases yearly alpha significantly from 0.8% to 1.7%. The strategy that also uses fund characteristics requires less turnover. Akmal, Bashir Ahmed Khilji, Irfan Ahmed, Nisar Ali Asghar, Javed Ali.( Aug 2010) Mutual funds are considered as vehicle for investment in stock market. These not only reduce the risk but also reduce the transaction cost. Mutual performance is a common topic in all country to be studied. This paper evaluates the mutual funds in Pakistan; provide information to different stake holder regarding current and future developments. Simple descriptive tools employed to intemperate data. Result shows that on overall basis, funds industry outperform the market. The future of industry depends on the performance of funds industry and the role of regulatory bodies. Martin Eling, Roger Faust.:( Aug 2010). findings of this study is Use of short selling and derivatives is limited in most emerging markets because such instruments are not as readily available as they are in developed capital markets. These limitations raise questions about the value added provided by hedge funds, especially compared to traditional mutual funds active in these markets. We use five existing performance measurement models plus a new asset-style factor model to identify the return sources and the alpha generated by both types of funds. We analyze subperiods, different market environments, and structural breaks. Our results indicate that some hedge funds generate significant positive alpha, whereas most mutual funds do not outperform traditional benchmarks. We find that hedge funds are more active in shifting their asset allocation. The higher degree of freedom that hedge funds enjoy in their investment style might thus be one explanation for the differences in performance. Javier.:( 2010.) purpose of this paper is to examine the performance of a sample of socially responsible mutual funds (SRMFs) and a matched sample of conventional funds during the 1997-2005 time period. On the basis of the raw returns, socially responsible funds performed better than some market indexes but this evidence of outperformance disappears once risk is incorporated into the analysis. Consistent with previous studies, no evidence was found of out performance by socially responsible funds. Also, the difference between the performance of

28

SRMFs and conventional mutual funds is not statistically significant. This result is robust to the use of two additional measures of risk-adjusted performance.

III. Methodology and Data

Research design Sources of data collection Research instruments Sampling plan

Research Design A number of facts could be explored by means of this research in regards to the performance of mutual funds during and post recession in India. The research is causal in nature because all the data is known. Our research is descriptive in nature. .Sources of Data Collection Data Collection Information will be collected from only secondary data. Secondary sources- Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else which already had been passed through the statistical process. Secondary data will be collected through books, Journals and websites. Population:-All the mutual funds in 2006-2010 of India are our population.

Sample size:-Different 15 mutual funds are our sample size. Which have NAV more than 8%. Sample element- Individual mutual fund is the sample element.

Sampling Technique- In this research judge mental sampling is done purely on the basis of researchers judgments. On the basic of NAV we select the mutual fund. Statistical Tools: Tools of presentation: In the current study, data will be presented through figures, charts graphs and tables.

HYPOTHESIS
Null hypothesis (Ho) There is no impact of recession on the performance of mutual fund.
29

Alternate hypothesis (H1): There is an impact of recession on the performance of mutual fund.

Limitations time constraint was one of the major problems. The study is limited to selected mutual fund schemes The lack of information sources for the analysis part.

DATA ANALYSIS
For the purpose of this study, there are many mutual funds available in India. We are selecting 15 mutual funds for our study. All the funds were selected by judgmental sampling. All the funds selected for the study are openended equity funds under the growth option. The Net Asset Values (NAV) returns, for all the15funds are from 2006 to 2010, which is the period of this study. We take all these mutual funds:ICICI Pru Discovery Fund (G),DSP-BR Micro Cap Fund - RP (G),Birla Sun Life Dividend Yield Plus (G),Templeton India Equity Income Fund (G),Reliance Equity Opportunities Fund - Retail Plan (G),HDFC Equity Fund (G),Tata Dividend Yield Fund (G),SBI Magnum Emerging Businesses Fund (G),HDFC Equity Fund (G),UTI Dividend Yield Fund (G),Principal Emerging Blue-chip Fund (G),Franklin Asian Equity Fund (G),HDFC Core & Satellite Fund (G),UTI Master Value Fund (G) In this study the fund returns have been calculated for each of the period.

NAV ANALYSIS:
There are 15funds with a 5 year data, which effectively gives average returns for the period. The main purpose of this exercises the fund returns and analysis the funds performance. The fund returns for each of the period were calculated as follows: Current NAV Previous NAV Previous NAV x 100

30

When we analysis the NAV of all these mutual fund we find the value of particular mutual fund and we find in that HDFC EQUITY FUND has higher NET ASSETS value is very high. HDFC has 112.43 NAV in 2006 to 2010. IN 2008 all mutual funds give not higher return because the NAV all these mutual funds is decline and investors not invest in the mutual funds.

SHARPES PERFORMANCE INDEX

The Sharpe Index is a measure with which you may measure the performance of your portfolio over a given period of time. The important aspect of the Sharpe Index is that this performance indicator takes into consideration the risk of the portfolio. Sharpe = (Portfolio Return - Risk-Free Return) / Standard Deviation

When we analysis the data of above mutual fund we find these results, which is as follow: According to Sharpe performance index we find the result that if any mutual fund has higher st (index) that means it has a better ranked and it performance is very better than the others mutual funds. And if a mutual fund has not very well higher st that means it is a great risk to earn the higher return and its adjusted return was not the most desirable. In this analysis we can say that TATA DIVIDEND has highly returned because it has higher index in the recession. Other mutual fund like SBI, HDFC CORE, RELIANCE, HDFCEQUITY, and RELIANCE REGULAR all has 8% of index in term of percentage.

LIC FM, TATA FLOATER, CANARAMUTUAL has index in negative it means that the mutual fund not provide any type of return which outcome in negative.

Findings
Finding of this study is When we analysis the data of 2006 to 2010 of 15 mutual funds in India during and after recession and find that there is effect on mutual fund industry. In 2006 to 2010 there is fluctuation in the market so that market prices, returns, performance index very rapidly change during and after recession. So our null hypothesis is rejected that the recession has no impact on the mutual fund performance. And our alternative hypothesis is accepted. In during recession mutual fund NAV and performance is decline.

31

There are decline in NAV the (prices in the market is decline) and returns of mutual fund is negative in during recession. in the 2009,2010 there is better performance of mutual fund and market condition improve rather than in 2006 to 2008.

Conclusion
On the basis of our findings we conclude that whole Indian economy has effected by recession. In mutual fund stocks there is impact on stock market. Prices of mutual funds, returns, performance index all things fluctuated by recession. In this time market goes down and investors dont want to invest their money in mutual fund because the performance and returns are rapidly changed. The performance of mutual fund is change during and after recession. NAV of different mutual fund is going down, after 2008 there is better in mutual fund in comparison on 2006, 07, 08. So last we can say that recession impact on whole market of mutual fund.
