EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

KOTAK AMC COMPANY is one of the profitable leading stock broking companies and

succeeds over the competition in the market.

The study covers two major schemes, equity linked saving scheme and balanced schemes with

both dividend and growth option. The period of the study is January 2010 to April 2010. The

comparative study extends to two public sector companies LIC and SBI and two private sector

companies RELIANCE and KOTAK.

The main objective is to study the performance of equity linked saving scheme of mutual fund

companies for the period of January 2010 to April 2010. And study the performance of balanced

schemes of mutual fund companies for the period of January 2010 to April 2010.

The study is mainly carried out in order to appraise the performance of equity linked saving

scheme and balanced schemes of LIC, SBI, RELIANCE AND KOTAK. As there is a lot of

competition bidding in this industry and many foreign companies are launching their funds in

India, it has become important that companies differentiate their products in order to capture the

domestic market, hence a study of equity linked saving scheme and balanced schemes enable the

organization to choose the sectors give maximum returns.

Methodology is a systematic and objective process of identifying and formulating the problem

by setting objectives and methods for collecting, editing, calculating, evaluating and analyzing

and interpreting and presenting data in order to find justified solutions. The current position is

analyzed and new ideas are suggested to improve the current condition.

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 appreciations 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 flow chart below describes broadly the working of a Mutual Fund.

A Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India

(SEBI) that pools up the money from individual/corporate investors and invests the same on

behalf of the investors/unit holders, in Equity shares, Government securities, Bonds, Call Money

Markets etc, and distributes the profits. In the other words, a Mutual Fund allows investors to

indirectly take a position in a basket of assets. Mutual Fund is a mechanism for pooling the

resources by issuing units to the investors and investing funds in securities in accordance with

objectives as disclosed in offer document. Investments in securities are spread among a wide

cross-section of industries and sectors thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk

because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at same time.

Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.

The investors in proportion to their investments share the profits or losses. The mutual funds

normally come out with a number of schemes with different investment objectives which are

launched from time to time. A Mutual Fund is required to be registered with Securities Exchange

Board of India (SEBI) which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds from the

public.

advantage of capital appreciation together with the income earned in the form of interest or

dividend. The various schemes of Mutual Funds provide the investor with a wide range of

investment options according to his risk bearing capacities and interest besides; they also give

handy return to the investor. Mutual Funds offers an investor to invest even a small amount of

money, each Mutual Fund has a defined investment objective and strategy. Mutual Funds

schemes are managed by respective asset managed companies sponsored by financial

INDUSTRY PROFILE

The Indian Brokerage Industry consists of companies that primarily act as agents for the buying

and selling of securities (e.g. stocks, shares, and similar financial instruments) on a commission

or transaction fee basis. Hence, to understand this industry we have to study

Security Market:

Security market has two main interdependent segments: Primary market and the Secondary

market.

PRIMARY MARKET:

The primary is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new securities.

Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a

new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The

process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue,

this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price

of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus. In primary market certain

companies issue their shares directly to the public, collect applications and after sorting out the

good issues, they put in their applications. The share brokers get their brokerage on the

transactions made.

SECONDARY MARKET:

The secondary market is that market in which trading is done of securities that have already been

issued in an initial private or public offering. The secondary market comprises of brokerage that

a broker earns in the buying and selling of companies that are listed in the stock exchange. These

stock broker are in charge of the conformation and carrying out of transactions. Orders are taken

Page 17: Dissertation Project on Mutual Funds

and executed on behalf of the clients. The fluctuation of rates in the share market makes the

activity in a trade market a dynamic process. It is necessary for a broker to have adequate

knowledge about the economic and political factors as they affect the share market.

DEVELOPMENT IN BROKERAGE INDUSTRY

In actuality the brokerage industry continues to develop rapidly. Many of the traditional

restrictions against banking activities within the brokerage industry are being eliminated and the

barriers are disappearing. Due to this, some commercial banks have as subsidiaries, brokerage

houses that offer discounts and some of them have available accounts that offer all of the

services that are offered by a checking account. The basic function of a brokerage firm is to

execute buy and sell orders for clients. Traditionally these firms have offered the investigation of

the quality and the possibilities of investing in a variety of investment products. It is still

accustomed for brokerage firms to offer information about possible investments free of charge.

This activity of bringing free of charge stock investment reports is one of the main tools that are

utilized by brokerage houses to compete against other firms and to investors it continues to be an

important service. Despite the previously, not all investors consider that investment reports is an

important service. Some investors prefer other types of services since many investors don‟t

believe that these investment reports are useful. In order to capture this vast diverse clientele, the

brokerage industry has segmented itself.

After the restrictions in commissions were eliminated, several brokerages began to open up their

doors as discount brokerage firms. In actuality, brokerage firms may be classified into full

service brokers and discount brokers. Full service brokerage firms continue to offer informative

stock reports and a level of service much higher than other brokerage houses. Discount

brokerage houses only dedicate themselves to execute orders for clients. Full service brokers are

sellers looking for purchasing and selling for clients and offering more customer service than is

available from discount brokers. It is many times possible that a client will not even know who is

taking care of the buy or sell order that they placed. These differences in services and

philosophies may lead to great differences in commission costs. It is evident that these

differences may be an important factor in the return of an investment. This is particularly true

when we see that these commissions are added to the purchase as well as to the sale of a stock or

other investments.

MAJOR STOCK EXCHANGES IN INDIA:

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

Background: The BSE Sensitive Index (1978-79=100) has, to a considerable extent, been serving the purpose

of quantifying the price movements as also reflecting the sensitivity of the market in an effective

manner. The number of companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange has registered a

phenomenal increase from 992 in the year 1980 to about 4800 companies by the end of July

2005 and their combined market capitalization rose from Rs. 5,421 crores to around Rs. 18,

00,000crores at end of July 2005. These factors necessitated compilation of a new broad-based

index series reflecting the present market trends in a more effective manner and providing a

better representation of the increased equity stocks, market capitalization as also the newly

emerged industry groups.

Towards this end, the Exchange constructed and launched on 27th May 1994, two index series

viz. the BSE-200 and the DOLLEX.

Coverage: The equity shares of 200 selected companies from the specified and non-specified

lists of this Exchange have been considered for inclusion in the sample for `BSE-200'. The

selection of companies has primarily been done on the basis of current market capitalization of

the listed scripts on the exchange. Besides market capitalization, the market activity of the

companies as reflected by the volumes of turnover and certain fundamental factors were

considered for the final selection of the 200 companies.

Page 19: Dissertation Project on Mutual Funds

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE

The 13-year-old National Stock Exchange (NSE) has outshined the 130 years old Bombay Stock

Exchange (BSE) in terms of turnover and volumes. The BSE has lost its market share in these

segments from 36 per cent to 31 percent in last three years. The turnover in BSE stood at around

Rs 2,950 crore as on August 17, 2005 while the turnover in NSE was Rs 3,926 crore. The

volumes (numbers of shares traded) of NSE at 2.94 crore was also much higher than the volumes

of BSE. The NSE has rewritten a number of rules and upset many traditions. As the derivatives

segment has immense effect on the cash market, the movement in this segment mostly

determines the trend in the market. Against nearly 1,400 companies listed on the NSE, the BSE

has nearly 4,800 listed companies. Despite such a huge number of listed companies, the total

market capitalization of BSE is around Rs 20 lakh crore while on the other hand NSE has a total

market capitalization of Rs 19.7 lakh crore. The most tracked index on NSE, CNX Nifty also has

more number of stocks than the BSE Sensex. Nifty represents 50 stocks while the Sensex

represents only 30 stocks. The presence of more stocks on Nifty gives a better valuation than

Sensex.

LITERATURE REVIEW

The Indian mutual fund industry is dominated by the Unit Trust of India (UTI) which has a total

corpus fund of Rs 700 billion collected from more than 20 million investors. The UTI has many

fund schemes in all categories like equity, balanced income etc with some being open ended and

some being closed ended. The unit scheme with 1964 commonly referred to as US 64, which is

balance fund, is the biggest scheme with a corpus of about Rs 200 billion. UTI was floated by

financial institutions and is governed by a special Act of parliament. Most of the investors

believe that the UTI is government owned and controlled which while legally incorrect and true

for all practical purposes. The second largest category of mutual fund is the one floated by

nationalized banks. Canbank asset management floated by Canara bank and SBI funds

management floated by State Bank of India is the largest of these. GIC AMC, the LIC are some

of the prominent of AMCs is about Rs 150 billion. The third largest category of mutual funds are

the ones floated by the private sector and by foreign asset management companies, the largest of

Page 20: Dissertation Project on Mutual Funds

these are prudential.

As we know that mutual fund is an instrument of investing money. Nowadays bank rates fallen

down and are generally below inflation rate. Therefore, keeping large amounts of money in bank

is not a wise option, as in real terms the value money decreases over a period of time. One of the

options is to invest the money in stock market. But a common investor is not informed and

competent enough to understand the intricacies of the stock market. This is where mutual funds

come to the rescue of an investor.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Data are the facts and numerical figures of certain information expressed in the tabular form. On

the other hand interpretations explanations about the facts and figures expressed in terms of

words and sentences.

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

THE SHARPE MEASURE

In this model, performance of a fund is evaluated on the basis of Sharpe ratio, which is a measure

developed to calculate risk adjusted returns. The Sharpe ratio is the difference between the

annualized return ( Rp ) and the risk free return ( Rf ) divided by the Standard Deviation ( SD ),

during the specified period.

SHARPE RATIO = (Rp – Rf ) σ

While a high and positive Sharpe ratio shows a superior risk adjusted performance of a fund, a

low and negative Sharpe ratio is an indicator of unfavorable performance.

TREYNOR MEASURE

Developed by Jack Treynor, this performance measure evaluates funds on the basis of Treynors

index. This index is a ratio of returns generated by the fund over and above risk free rate of

return government, as there is no credit risk, during a given period and systematic risk associated

with it , symbolically, it can be represented by as

Treynor‟s index = Rp – Rf

βWhere Rp represents return on fund, Rf is risk free rate of return and B is beta of the fund. All

risk – adverse investors would like to maximize the value. While a high and positive Treynors

index shows a superior risk adjusted performance of a fund, a low and negative Treynor‟s index

is an indication of unfavorable performance.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

As the investment on financial assets is comparatively low in India when compared to the

foreign investors, it is suggested that the Kotak Mahindra AMC Company, has to bring

innovative new products keeping in view of the investor’s expectations as the recession and the

doubled deep recession is expected all over the globe, with a view to encourage the new invetors.

The Company should come forward to introduce more schemes at the right time for the

benefit of the fund house, investors, brokers, and the distributors.

In general the private sector mutual fund companies outperforms the public sector mutual fund

companies, if the Kotak Mahindra AMC Company understands their Competitors and the market

they will have a hedge over their competitors in the future.

A typical individual is not likely to have the knowledge, skills, inclination and time to keep

track of and understand the causes and implication of the price changes and trends. So, the Asset

management company’s should come forward to educate individuals about the benefits of mutual

funds.

CONCLUSION

Mutual Funds are the ideal investment vehicle for today’s complex and modern financial

scenario. The last few years have been very exciting for the mutual funds Industry in India. New

players have come in, while others have decided to close shop by either selling off or merging

with others. Product innovation is now passé with the game shifting to performance delivery in

fund management as well as service.

The public sector mutual fund company’s performance is better than the private sector mutual

fund companies in case of Equity Linked Savings Scheme. The public sector mutual fund

Companies outperforms the private sector mutual fund companies of two ratios viz., Sharpe

Ratio and Treynor Ratio in case Balanced Scheme. We can arrive at the conclusion that indeed

existing funds have surpassed newer ones by a mile and we would be much better off sticking to

existing funds with excellent track records than running after fancy terms, names & themes.
