1.1 Recent trends in Mutual Fund Industry:The recent trends since last year clearly suggest that the average investors have lost
money in equities. People have now started opting for portfolio managers who have the
expertise in stock markets. There are many institutions in India which provide wealthmanagement services. An average investor has found refuge with the mutual funds.
There have been a lot of changes in the mutual fund industry in past few years. Lots of
multinational companies have bought their professional expertise to manage funds
worldwide. In the past few months there has been consolidation going on in the mutual
fund industry. Mutual funds in India now offer a wide range of schemes to choose.
Mutual funds are turned to be the most preferred choice worldwide for both small and
big investors due to their numerous advantages. Its all about long term financial
planning. These benefits mainly include diversification, professional management,
potential of returns, efficiency and easy to use.
Mutual fund investments carry low risk because of their diversified nature. It is
important to understand the benefits of mutual funds before investing the money you
really care about.
The size of Indian mutual fund industry has grown in recent few years. India can now
boast of having dominance in this industry. The total Asset Under Management
popularly known as AUM has increased from Rs.1, 01, 565 crores in January 2000 to
Rs.5, 67, 601.98 crores in April 2008.
According to the Association of Mutual Funds in India, the growth of mutual fund
industry has been exceptional. This industry has indeed come a very long way with only
34 players in the market and more than 480 schemes.
One of the major factors contributing to the growth of this industry has been the
booming stock market with an optimistic domestic economy. Second most important
reason for this growth is a favorable regulatory regime which has been enforced by
SEBI.This regulatory board has improved the market surveillance to protect the
investors interest.

History of Mutual Fund IndustryLet us start the discussion of the performance of mutual funds in India from the day the
concept of mutual fund took birth in India. The year was 1963. Unit Trust of India
invited investors or rather to those who believed in savings, to park their money in UTIMutual Fund.
For 30 years it goaled without a single second player. Though the 1988 year saw some
new mutual fund companies, but UTI remained in a monopoly position.
The performance of mutual funds in India in the initial phase was not even closer to
satisfactory level. People rarely understood, and of course investing was out of question.
But yes, some 24 million shareholders was accustomed with guaranteed high returns by
the begining of liberalization of the industry in 1992. This good record of UTI became
marketing tool for new entrants. The expectations of investors touched the sky in
profitability factor. However, people were miles away from the praparedness of risks
factor after the liberalization.
The Assets Under Management of UTI was Rs. 67bn. by the end of 1987. Let me
concentrate about the performance of mutual funds in India through figures. From Rs.
67bn. the Assets Under Management rose to Rs. 470 bn. in March 1993 and the figure
had a three times higher performance by April 2004. It rose as high as Rs. 1,540bn.
The net asset value (NAV) of mutual funds in India declined when stock prices started
falling in the year 1992. Those days, the market regulations did not allow portfolio shifts
into alternative investments. There were rather no choice apart from holding the cash or
to further continue investing in shares. One more thing to be noted, since only closed-
end funds were floated in the market, the investors disinvested by selling at a loss in the
secondary market.
The performance of mutual funds in India suffered qualitatively. The 1992 stock market
scandal, the losses by disinvestments and of course the lack of transparent rules in the
whereabout rocked confidence among the investors. Partly owing to a relatively weak
stock market performance, mutual funds have not yet recovered, with funds trading at an
7/29/2019 reseach on banking

Navnirman institute of management Page 4
average discount of 1020 percent of their net asset value.
The supervisory authority adopted a set of measures to create a transparent and
competitve environment in mutual funds. Some of them were like relaxing investmentrestrictions into the market, introduction of open-ended funds, and paving the gateway
for mutual funds to launch pension schemes.
The measure was taken to make mutual funds the key instrument for long-term saving.
The more the variety offered, the quantitative will be investors.
At last to mention, as long as mutual fund companies are performing with lower risks
and higher profitability within a short span of time, more and more people will be
inclined to invest until and unless they are fully educated with the dos and donts of
mutual fun
The concept of mutual funds in India dates back to the year 1963. The era between 1963
and 1987 marked the existance of only one mutual fund company in India with Rs. 67bn
assets under management (AUM), by the end of its monopoly era, the Unit Trust of
India (UTI). By the end of the 80s decade, few other mutual fund companies in India
took their position in mutual fund market.
The new entries of mutual fund companies in India were SBI Mutual Fund, Canbank
Mutual Fund, Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund, Indian Bank Mutual Fund, Bank of
India Mutual Fund.
The succeeding decade showed a new horizon in indian mutual fund industry. By the
end of 1993, the total AUM of the industry was Rs. 470.04 bn. The private sector funds
started penetrating the fund families. In the same year the first Mutual Fund Regulations
came into existance with re-registering all mutual funds except UTI. The regulations
were further given a revised shape in 1996.
Kothari Pioneer was the first private sector mutual fund company in India which has

Navnirman institute of management Page 5
now merged with Franklin Templeton. Just after ten years with private sector players
penetration, the total assets rose up to Rs. 1218.05 bn. Today there are 33 mutual fund
companies in India.
NAV is directly proportionately to the bearish trends of the market. Top mutual funds
also suffer because of the fluctuations in the market. The pooled money is invested in
shares, debentures and treasury bills and thus has high risk involved.
Indian mutual funds however reveal this multi-dimensional avenue and all the intricacies
in a highly fashionable manner. It provides a lot of scope to understand the scenario and
make some thoughtful investments for decent returns.

What is "Customer"?
Customer knowledge refers to understanding your customers, their needs, wants and aims is
essential if a business is to align its processes, products and services to build real customer
relationships.
Many companies do have knowledge of their customers, but frequently this is in afragmented form and difficult to share or analyse and often it is incomplete.
Customer knowledge is becoming a big topic. One recent study of business failures
concluded that often failure can be put down to complacency creating a gap between what
you think customers want and will put up with, compared to what customers really want and
will go to your competitors for.
Customer knowledge can be approached from two ends. Firstly, you could say that customer
knowledge is the "collection of information and viewpoints that an organization has about its
customers". Using this definition, the role of customer knowledge management is to capture
and organise this data to allow it to be shared and discussed throughout the organization.
An alternative definitive of customer knowledge is that it is the "collection of information
and insight that you need to have to build stronger customer relationships". From this point of
view what you currently know about your customers may not be sufficient. You may need to
put in processes and systems to gather more information and data about who your customers
are, what they do and how they think.
For practical purposes, the truth is somewhere more towards the collection of information
you have, rather than the information you should have. For example, we could go to the
extremes of looking for a complete psychographic breakdown of each of our customers
individually, but in practice this would be excessive. Consequently a judgement is necessary
to determine what value you are getting from any customer knowledge you collect.

A Study on Perception of Customer on Mutual Fund
Navnirman institute of management Page 15
The aim of building up a strong body of customer knowledge is so that the company can
build and manage customer relationships now and over the longer term. The information
should be determining what to offer, when to offer it and how much for. In the long term the
company has to design new products, offer new services, compete in new markets, but evenin the short term your top salesman could go sick or be headhunted. Would you know enough
to keep your accounts?
One problem with customer knowledge, is that it can be confused with CRM (customer
relationship management) which is often used to describe contact management and analysis.
Although there is some overlap, customer knowledge includes a wider variety of less
structured information that will help build insight intocustomer relationships.

What is Mutual Fund?
Mutual Funds Definition refers to the meaning of Mutual Fund, which is a fund, managed by
an investment company with the financial objective of generating high Rate of Returns.
These asset management or investment management companies collects money from the
investors and invests those money in different Stocks, Bonds and other financial securities in
a diversified manner. Before investing they carry out thorough research and detailed analysis
on the market conditions and market trends of stock and bond prices. These things help the
fund mangers to speculate properly in the right direction.
The investors who invest their money in the Mutual fund of any Investment Management
Company, receive an Equity Position in that particular mutual fund. When after certain
period of time, whether long term or short term, the investors sell the Shares of the Mutual
Fund, they receive the return according to the market conditions.
The investment companies receive profit by allocating people's money in different stocks and
bonds according to their Speculation about the Market Trend.
Other than some specific mutual funds which carry certain Maturity Term, Investors can
generally sell the shares of their mutual funds at any time they want. But, the return will vary
according to market value of the stocks and bonds in which that particular mutual fund made
investment.But, generally the share holders of mutual fund sell their share when the prices are
up and Capital Gain is sure to happen

Advantages of mutual funds
Professional expertise:Investing requires skill. It requires a constant study of the dynamics of the markets
and of the various industries and companies within it. Anybody who has surplus
capital to be parked as investments is an investor, but to be a successful investor,
you need to have someone managing your money professionally.
Just as people who have money but not have the requisite skills to run a company
(and hence must be content as shareholders) hand over the running of the operations
to a qualified CEO, similarly, investors who lack investing skills need to find aqualified fund manager.
Mutual funds help investors by providing them with a qualified fund manager.
Increasingly, in India [Images], fund managers are acquiring global certifications
like CFA and MBA which help them be at the cutting edge of the knowledge in the
investing world.
Diversification:There is an old saying: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. There is a
mathematical and financial basis to this. If you invest most of your savings in a
single security (typically happens if you have ESOPs (employees stock options)
from your company, or one investment becomes very large in your portfolio due to
tremendous gains) or a single type of security (like real estate or equity become
disproportionately large due to large gains in the same), you are exposed to any risk
that attaches to those investments.In order to reduce this risk, you need to invest in different types of securities such
that they do not move in a similar fashion. Typically, when equity markets perform,
debt markets do not yield good returns. Note the scenario of low yields on debt
securities over the last three years while equities yielded handsome returns.
Similarly, you need to invest in real estate, or gold, or international securities for you
to provide the best diversification.
If you want to do this on your own, it will take you immense amounts of money and
research to do this. However, if you buy mutual funds -- and you can buy mutual

funds of amounts as low as Rs 500 a month! -- you can diversify across asset classes
at very low cost. Within the various asset classes also, mutual funds hold hundreds
of different securities (a diversified equity mutual fund, for example, would typically
have around hundred different shares). Low cost of asset management:
Since mutual funds collect money from millions of investors, they achieve
economies of scale. The cost of running a mutual fund is divided between a larger
pool of money and hence mutual funds are able to offer you a lower cost alternative
of managing your funds.
Equity funds in India typically charge you around 2.25% of your initial money and
around 1.5% to 2% of your money invested every year as charges. Investing in debt
funds costs even less. If you had to invest smaller sums of money on your own, you
would have to invest significantly more for the professional benefits and
diversification.
Liquidity:Mutual funds are typically very liquid investments. Unless they have a pre-specified
lock-in, your money will be available to you anytime you want. Typically funds take
a couple of days for returning your money to you. Since they are very well
integrated with the banking system, most funds can send money directly to your
banking account.
Ease of process:If you have a bank account and a PAN card, you are ready to invest in a mutual
fund: it is as simple as that! You need to fill in the application form, attach your
PAN (typically for transactions of greater than Rs 50,000) and sign your cheque and
you investment in a fund is made.
In the top 8-10 cities, mutual funds have many distributors and collection points,
which make it easy for them to collect and you to send your application to.

Well regulated:India mutual funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India,
which helps provide comfort to the investors. Sebi forces transparency on the mutual
funds, which helps the investor make an informed choice. Sebi requires the mutual
funds to disclose their portfolios at least six monthly, which helps you keep track
whether the fund is investing in line with its objectives or not.
Economies of ScaleBecause a mutual fund buys and sells large amounts of securities at a time, its
transaction costs are lower than you as an individual would pay.
SimplicityBuying a mutual fund is easy! Pretty well any bank has its own line of mutual
funds, and the minimum investment is small. Most companies also have automatic
purchase plans whereby as little as $100 can be invested on a monthly basis.

Disadvantages of mutual funds
Investment ComplexityWhen you buy or sell mutual funds, you are making multiple trades at multipleprices. If you are trying to accomplish a particular investing goal with a mutual fund,
targeting a certain price through your transactions can get very complex. Its not as
easy as buying a simple asset like an exchange traded fund. For ETFs its one price,
one transaction. With mutual funds its multiple trades, multiple transactions.
High Fee StructureIn conjunction with the trading complexity of mutual funds comes the associatedcosts. Multiple trades translate into multiple commissions and management fees. Not
to mention the advisory fees. With an active mutual fund portfolio, the investing
costs can add up rather quickly.
Lack of LiquidityYes, there are a lot of different mutual funds in the investment world, but that
doesnt necessarily mean they are very liquid. With mutual funds, the finaltransactions arent complete until the end of a trading day. Its not until the final bell
when you actual know the price of trades for the fund as a whole. That creates
difficulties on days when the market is a volatile time-bomb. You need instant
information in order to adjust your trading strategy. Mutual funds do not offer that
option.
Lack of TransparencyThere is a lack of information when it comes to mutual funds. What you are buying
(or selling) within the fund is not always transparent and some information is even
delayed. This creates a challenge when you need fund information to make
investment decisions.

Transfer DifficultiesComplications arise with mutual funds when a managed portfolio is switched to a
different financial firm. Sometimes the mutual fund positions have to be closed out
before a transfer can happen. This can be a major problem for investors. Liquidating
a mutual fund portfolio may increase risk, increase fees and commissions, and create
capital gains taxes.
While mutual funds have these disadvantages, there is some good news. Investments
like ETFs do not fall prey to these shortcomings. If you want to take advantage of
the many benefits of ETFs, it may be time to get started with exchange traded funds.
No Insurance:Mutual funds, although regulated by the government, are not insured against losses.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) only insures against certain
losses at banks, credit unions, and savings and loans, not mutual funds. That means
that despite the risk-reducing diversification benefits provided by mutual funds,
losses can occur, and it is possible (although extremely unlikely) that you could even
lose your entire investment.
Dilution:Although diversification reduces the amount of risk involved in investing in mutual
funds, it can also be a disadvantage due to dilution. For example, if a single security
held by a mutual fund doubles in value, the mutual fund itself would not double in
value because that security is only one small part of the fund's holdings. By holding
a large number of different investments, mutual funds tend to do neither
exceptionally well nor exceptionally poorly.
Fees and Expenses:Most mutual funds charge management and operating fees that pay for the fund's
management expenses (usually around 1.0% to 1.5% per year). In addition, some
mutual funds charge high sales commissions, 12b-1 fees, and redemption fees. And
some funds buy and trade shares so often that the transaction costs add up

significantly. Some of these expenses are charged on an ongoing basis, unlike stock
investments, for which a commission is paid only when you buy and sell .
Poor Performance:Returns on a mutual fund are by no means guaranteed. In fact, on average, around
75% of all mutual funds fail to beat the major market indexes, like the S&P 500, and
a growing number of critics now question whether or not professional money
managers have better stock-picking capabilities than the average investor.
Loss of Control:The managers of mutual funds make all of the decisions about which securities to
buy and sell and when to do so. This can make it difficult for you when trying to
manage your portfolio. For example, the tax consequences of a decision by the
manager to buy or sell an asset at a certain time might not be optimal for you. You
also should remember that you are trusting someone else with your money when you
invest in a mutual fund.
Trading Limitations:Although mutual funds are highly liquid in general, most mutual funds (called open-
ended funds) cannot be bought or sold in the middle of the
Fluctuating ReturnsMutual funds are like many other investments without a guaranteed return. There is
always the possibility that the value of your mutual fund will depreciate. Unlike
fixed-income products, such as bonds and Treasury bills, mutual funds experienceprice fluctuations along with the stocks that make up the fund. When deciding on a
particular fund to buy, you need to research the risks involved - just because a
professional manager is looking after the fund, that doesn't mean the performance
will be stellar.
Another important thing to know is that mutual funds are not guaranteed by the U.S.
government, so in the case of dissolution, you won't get anything back. This is
7/29/2019 reseach on banking
23/55
A Study on Perception of Customer on Mutual Fund
Navnirman institute of management Page 23
especially important for investors in money market funds. Unlike a bank deposit, a
mutual fund will not be FDIC insured.
Diversification?
Although diversification is one of the keys to successful investing, many mutual
fund investors tend to overdiversify. The idea of diversification is to reduce the risks
associated with holding a single security; overdiversification (also known as
diworsification) occurs when investors acquire many funds that are highly related
and so don't get the risk reducing benefits of diversification. To read more on this
subject, see this article.
At the other extreme, just because you own mutual funds doesn't mean you areautomatically diversified. For example, a fund that invests only in a particular
industry or region is still relatively risky.
Cash, Cash and More CashAs you know already, mutual funds pool money from thousands of investors, so
everyday investors are putting money into the fund as well as withdrawing
investments. To maintain liquidity and the capacity to accommodate withdrawals,
funds typically have to keep a large portion of their portfolio as cash. Having ample
cash is great for liquidity, but money sitting around as cash is not working for you and
thus is not very advantageous.
CostsMutual funds provide investors with professional management; however, it comes at
a cost. Funds will typically have a range of different fees that reduce the overall
payout. In mutual funds the fees are classified into two categories: shareholder fees
and annual fund-operating fees.
The shareholder fees, in the forms of loads and redemption fees, are paid directly by
shareholders purchasing or selling the funds. The annual fund operating fees are
charged as an annual percentage - usually ranging from 1-3%. These fees are
assessed to mutual fund investors regardless of the performance of the fund. As you
can imagine, in years when the fund doesn't make money these fees only magnify
losses.

Misleading AdvertisementsThe misleading advertisements of different funds can guide investors down the
wrong path. Some funds may be incorrectly labeled as growth funds, while others
are classified as small-cap or income. The SEC requires funds to have at least 80%
of assets in the particular type of investment implied in their names. The remaining
assets are under the discretion solely of the fund manager.
The different categories that qualify for the required 80% of the assets, however,
may be vague and wide-ranging. A fund can therefore manipulate prospective
investors by using names that are attractive and misleading. Instead of labeling itself
a small cap, a fund may be sold under the heading growth fund. Or, the "Congo
High-Tech Fund" could be sold with the title "International High-Tech Fund".
Evaluating FundsAnother disadvantage of mutual funds is the difficulty they pose for investors
interested in researching and evaluating the different funds. Unlike stocks, mutual
funds do not offer investors the opportunity to compare the P/E ratio, sales growth,
earnings per share, etc. A mutual fund's net asset value gives investors the total value
of the fund's portfolio less liabilities, but how do you know if one fund is better than
another?
Furthermore, advertisements, rankings and ratings issued by fund companies only
describe past performance. Always note that mutual fund
descriptions/advertisements always include the tagline "past results are not
indicative of future returns". Be sure not to pick funds only because they have
performed well in the past - yesterday's big winners may be today's big losers.
ConclusionWhen you buy any investment, it's important to understand both the good and bad
points. If the advantages that the investment offers outweigh its disadvantages, it's
quite possible that mutual funds are something to consider. Whether you decide in
favor or against mutual funds, the probability of a successful portfolio increases
dramatically when you do your homework.

TaxesWhen making decisions about your money, fund managers don't consider your
personal tax situation. For example, when a fund manager sells a security, a capital-
gain tax is triggered, which affects how profitable the individual is from the sale. It
might have been more advantageous for the individual to defer the capital gains
liability.
Professional ManagementDid you notice how we qualified the advantage of professional management with the
word "theoretically"? Many investors debate over whether or not the so-called
professionals are any better than you or I at picking stocks. Management is by no
means infallible, and, even if the fund loses money, the manager still takes his/her
cut. We'll talk about this in detail in a later section.

Tapping the upcoming market - Semi Urban Market as there is a lot of opportunity.Most of the Mutual Funds are operating in the metros and big cities as per their
present branch office locations. If they have to increase their market size they have to
open more distribution centers at the various urban and semi-urban markets.
To create the awareness about the different products of Mutual Fund and not about thegeneric product. Various respondents were not aware of the mutual fund products and
the type of mutual fund schemes and the risk associated with mutual fund products.
To provide some kind of curriculum at the school/college level to create awarenessregarding Mutual Fund.
There should be an effective communication between the mutual fund seller andpurchaser.
Timely advises should be provided to the investor. Investor should be made realized that if he is not investing in mutual funds now what
he is losing for the future.
Should be made aware of the benefits. The advisors should target for more and more young investors. The advisors may try to highlight some of the value added benefits of MFs such as tax
benefit, rupee cost averaging, and systematic transfer plan, rebalancing etc. these
benefits are not offered by other options singlehandedly. So these are enough to drive
the investors towards mutual funds.
Investors could also try to increase the spectrum of services offered. The advisors should try to charge a nominal fee at the beginning. But if not possible
then they could go for offering more services and benefits at the existing rate.
They should also maintain their decency and follow the code of ethics so that theinvestors could trust upon them.
The advisors should try to attract more and more persons and turn them into investorsand finally their clients.
