2.1 Introduction Of Mutual Fund - An Over View
Mutual fund now represents perhaps the most appropriate investment
opportunity for most small investors. A mutual fund uses the money collected
from investors to buy those assets which are specifically permitted by its stated
investment objective.
In INDIA mutual fund is constituted as a Trust and the investor the subscribes
Units issued by the fund, hence the term unit tru st comes into the picture.
Mutual fund, form of a Management investment company that combines the
money of its shareholder and invests those funds in a wide variety of stocks,
bonds, and so-called money market instruments. The latter include short term
investment such as United States Treasury bills and other federal securities,
-

commercial paper, and bank certificate of deposits. Mutual funds provide the
investor with professional management of funds and diversification of
investment among the securities of fered by leading corporations, federal and
state governments, and other entities.
What Is Mutual Fund?
In a mutual fund, many investors contribute to form a common pool of money.
This pool of money is invested in accordance with a stated invested objectiv e.
The Ownership of the fund is thus joint or mutual; the fund belongs to all
investors. A single investors Ownership of the fund is in the same proportion as
the amount of the Contribution made by him bears to the total amount of thefund.
When a person buys shares of a joint stock company, the purchase makes the
investors a part owner of the company and its assets. In the same way, when an
investor subscribes to a mutual fund, he becomes part owner of fund assets. In
fact, in U.S.A., a mutual is constituted as an investment company and an
investor buy into the fund, meaning he buys the share of the fund. In India, a
mutual a mutual fund is constituted as a Trust and the investor subscribes to the
units of a scheme launched by the fund, which is wh ere the term Unit Trust
comes from. However, whether the investor gets fund shares or units is only a
matter of legal distinction . In any case, a mutual fund shareholder or units -
holder is a part owner of the funds assets. The term unit -holder includes
investors in both the open-end and the closed-.end schemes.
2.(a) Advantages of Mutual Fund
If mutual fund is emerging as the favorite investment vehicle, it is because of
many Advantages it has over the forms and avenues of investing, particularly

Portfolio Diversification : Mutual Funds normally invest in a well-diversified
portfolio of securities. Each investor in a mutual fund is a part owner of all of
the funds assets. This enables him to hold a diversified investment portfolio
even with a small amount of investment , which would oth erwise require big
capital.
Professional Management : Even if an investor has a big amount of capital
available to him, he benefits from the professional management skills brought in
by the fund in the management of investors portfolio.
Reduction/Diversification Of Risk : An investor in a mutual fund acquires. A
diversified portfolio, no matter how small his investment. Diversification
reduces the risk of loss, as compared to investing directly in one or two sharesor debentures or other instru-ments.
Reduction of Transaction Costs : What is true of risk is also true of the
transaction costs. A direct investor bears all the costs of investing such as
brokerage or custody of securities.
Liquidity : Often, investors hold shares or bonds they cannot directly, easily
and quickly Sell. Investment in a mutual fund, on the other hand, is more liquid.
Convenience and flexibility : Mutual fund management companies offer many

THE HISTORY OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA
The mutual fund industry in India began with the s etting up of the Unit Trust in
India (UTI) in 1964 by the government of India. During the last 36 years, UTI
has grown to be a dominant player in industry with asset of over Rs. 45,899
crores as of December 31, 2002. The UTI is governed by a special legisl ation,
the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963. In 1987 public sector banks and insurance
companies were permitted to set up mutual funds and accordingly since 1987, 6public sector banks have set up mutual funds. Also the two insurance companies
LIC and GIC established mutual funds. Securities exchange board of India
(SEBI) formulated the mutual fund (regulation) 1993, which for the first time
established a comprehensive regulatory framework for mutual fund industry.
Since then several mutual funds have been set up by the private and joint
sectors.
1987 marked the entry of other public sector mutual funds. With the opening up
of the
Economy, many public sector banks and financial institutions were allowed to
establish mutual funds. SBI established the first non-UTI mutual fund-SBI
Mutual fund-in November 1987. This was followed by Canbank Mutual fund,
LIC Mutual fund, Indian Bank mutual Fund, and PNB Mutual Fund. These
funds helped in enlarging the investor community and the investible funds.
Organization of mutual fund industry:
The organization of mutual fund operation in India envisages a six tier
establishment namely:
1. A sponsor institution to promote the fund.
2. A term of trusties to oversee the operations and to proved checks for efficient,

3.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research referred to a search for knowledge, it can also be defined research as a
scientific systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic, in fact
research is an art of scientific investigation, Redman and moray definedresearch as a systematized effort to gain new knowledge some people consider
research as a movement, A movement from the known to unknown.
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a
technical sense. According to Clifford Woody research c omprises defining and
redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting,
organizing and evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusion,
and at last carefully tasting he conclusions to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis.
Research is thus an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge
making for its advancement. It is the pursuit of truth with the help of study,
observation, comparison and experiment. In short the search for knowledge
through objective and systematic method of finding solution to a problem is
research. Thus systematic approach concerning generalization and formulation
of a theory is also research.
The research processes carried out according to the designed series of st eps
which are required to be taken in the chronological order. The major research
steps are as follows:
Formulating the research problem.
-
8/8/2019 Market Research on Various Scheme of Mf Wrt SBI Mutual Fund
18/34
Choice of research design.
Determining sources of data.
Determining data collection form.
Determining sampling design and sample size.
Organizing and conducting field survey.
Possessing and analyzing collective data.
Preparing the research report.
Formulating the research problem:
The first step of process is formulating the problem. In order to identify the
research problem three categories of systematic situations namely overtdifficulties, latent difficulties and unnoticed opportunities should be studied.
Overt difficulties are those which are quit apparent. Latent difficulties are those
which are not so apparent. Unnoticed opportunities indicate the potential for
growth in a certain area; such opportunities are not clearly seen some effort is
required to explore them. A researcher may recognize two or more problems at
a time. Then he has to determine the priorities.
Research Design:
The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem
is the preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the
research design. Decisions regarding what, where, when, how mu ch, by what
means concerning an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design.
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis
of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with
economy in procedure.
One may split the overall research design in to the following parts:
SAMPLING DESIGN: This deals with the method of selecting items to be
observed for the given study.
OBSERVATIONAL DESIGN: This relates to the conditions under which the
-
8/8/2019 Market Research on Various Scheme of Mf Wrt SBI Mutual Fund
19/34
observations are to be made.
STATISTICAL DESIGN: These concerns with the question of how many
items are to be observed and how the information and data gathered are to be
analyzed.
3.1(a) SOURCES OF DATA:
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined are
research design chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection
to be used for the study, the researcher should keep in mind two types of data
that is primary and secondary.
Primary data: the primary data are those which are collected a fresh and for thefirst time, thus happened to be original in character. There are several methods
of collecting primary data, particularly in a surveys and descriptive researches
important ones are:
Observational method
Interview method
Questionnaire
3.1(b) WHY A RESEARCH?

3.2(b) TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF ANALYSIS
LINE CHART AND COLUMN CHART
PIE CHARTS
BAR GRAPHS
LINE CHART AND COLUMN CHART
A line chart and a vertical column chart are alternatives, common to them is that
-
8/8/2019 Market Research on Various Scheme of Mf Wrt SBI Mutual Fund
22/34
a continuous variable, usually time, is on the horizontal axis, and that they are
best suited to presenting time series. A minimum requirement for the variable
placed on the horizontal axis is that its scale should be ordinal.
A line chart emphasizes variation and trend, whereas a column chart emphasizes
magnitude and variation in magnitude. Because of this difference a break in the
vertical scale or quantity scale, is of little importance in a line chart, whereas in
a column chart, a break in the quantity scale distorts the visual message.
PIE CHARTS
A pie chart consists of a circle divided into sectors whose areas carry the
quantitative information. This has to be tak en in to account when pie charts areplaced side by side so that their areas are in proportion to the total amounts (the
area of the circle increases in proportion to the square of the radius).
A pie chart can only portray a proportional distribution (perc entages), and it
conveys information much does. A pie chart should not be used if data are to be
presented accurately, and for the same reason it is justified to give the numerical
values of the percentage distributions as well.
BAR GRAPHS
Horizontal bar charts are well suited for portraying quantities attached to classes
and groups. The variable on the vertical axis does mot require a continuous
scale. A bar chart is not an alternative to a column chart.
3.3 LIMITATIONS:
1. The study was carried out in Bhilai-Durg region only.
2. Limited knowledge about local market.
