CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1INDUSTRY PROFILE
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 flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual
fund:

1.1.4 TERMS USED IN MUTUAL FUND
Net Asset Value (NAV)
Net Asset Value is the market value of the assets of the scheme minus its liabilities.
The per unit NAV is the net asset value of the scheme divided by the number of units
outstanding on the Valuation Date.
Sale Price
Is the price we pay when we invest in a scheme. Also called Offer
Price. It may include a sales load.
Repurchase Price
Is the price at which a close-ended scheme repurchases its units and it
may include a back-end load. This is also called Bid Price.
Redemption Price
Is the price at which open-ended schemes repurchase their units and
close-ended schemes redeem their units on maturity. Such prices are NAV
related.
Sales Load
4
Is a charge collected by a scheme when it sells the units. Also called,
‘Front-end’ load. Schemes that do not charge a load are called ‘No Load’
schemes.
Repurchase or ‘Back-end’ Load
Is a charge collected by a scheme when it buys back the units from the
unit holders.

CHAPTER II
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM, SCOPE OF THE STUDY,
OBJECTIVES, LIMITATIONS AND METHODOLOGY OF THE
STUDY
2.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Mutual funds pool the funds of small investor and invest it in the
securities. As the investors do not know in which portfolio the fund
managers will go investment, the performance such as the risk and the return
associated with each fund type will only affect the investor. Here the risk
associated with each type will vary, hence the return will also vary. Since the
investors are investing based on the scheme category such as private or
public sector funds.
Costs are the biggest problems with mutual funds. These costs eat into
our return and they are the main reason why the majority of funds reason
why the majority of funds end up with sub par performance. Some cities of
the industry say that mutual funds companies get away with the fees they
charges only the average investors does not understand what he/she is
paying for: fees can be broken allow into two categories.
1. On going yearly fees to keep is invested in the fund.
2. Transaction fees paid when we buy or sell shares in a fund.
9
2.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study was undertaken with the existing mutual funds in the
websites. These funds are already used by the researcher for the analysis.
This study covers various schemes for analysis. They are Escorts
mutual fund, GIC mutual fund, JM mutual fund, Kotak mutual fund, ING
Vysya mutual fund, Taurus mutual fund, Reliance mutual fund.
2.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The analysis on the performance of private and public sector mutual
funds is made with
2.3.1 Primary Objective
To compare the public sector and private sector mutual fund
performance.
2.3.2 Secondary Objectives
1. To evaluate the performance of the funds based on market risk.
2. To increase returns on the portfolio through successful prediction of
future securing prices.
10
3. To protect a company’s current earnings from competitive pressure
through economic moat.
4. To provide a steady cash flow to investors.
5. To evaluate the performance of the funds based on total risk.
11
2.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Analysis and interpretation is only based on the open - end
schemes.
Dividend schemes were not taken into consideration in this study.
This study considers the period between 2008-2010 and before and
after this period were not taken into consideration.
The analysis and interpretation of the fund is based only on the
past performance.
12
2.5 METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
The present study was conducted at Krish finance Private Limited
using the secondary data. The main sources of secondary data are obtained
from company websites. Informal discussions were made with the industry
staff. During the course of discussions the staff expresses their opinions
regarding the funds.
2.5.1 Data collection method
Secondary data were used for analyses such as (NAV) and
performance of various schemes of the asset management companies.
The net asset value (NAV) of the funds were collected from various
websites. The benchmark indices were collected from the respective
company’s fact sheets and also from the company’s common application
forms.
2.5.2 Research design
"Analytic", it is important to clearly identify the objectives of the study (preferably identifying the specific parameters to be measured – see Rothman and Greenland) and the rationale (i.e., the case for conducting the research). There are innumerable decisions, judgments, and compromises that must be made during the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of a study, and the principal guideposts for making them are the study objectives and rationale. For example, if the objective is to test hypotheses,
13
2.6 TOOLS USED FOR ANALYSIS
Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen Method
Portfolio performance was measured mostly in terms of returns in
early days, though there was an awareness of the concept of risk, which was
difficult to quantify. Risk could not be incorporated in evaluation, as there
was no measures that combined both return and risk. Returns on portfolios
performance are Sharpe Ratio, Treynor measure and Jensen measure. These
are absolute measure of portfolio performance that can be used to rank
different portfolios.
2.6.1 RETURN
For each mutual fund scheme under study, the monthly returns are
computed as:
2.6.2 AVERAGE
I = 1,2,3 …………….. n
14
2.6.3 RISK
Standard deviation : Measurement of Total Risk
Financial analysts and statisticians prefer to use a quantitative risk
surrogate called the clash of returns, denoted by I.
The standard deviation and he variance are equally acceptable and
equivalent quantitative measures of an asset’s total risk. The variance and
standard deviation are computed from logarithmic monthly returns.
2.6.4 BETA
Measurement of Systematic Risk
To obtain the measure of systematic risk (Beta) of the mutual fund
scheme, Market Model is applied.
15
2.6.5 RISK-LESS ASSET
By definition, a risk less asset has zero variability of returns. If an
investor buys an asset at the beginning of the holding period with the known
terminal value, such type of asset can be called as risk-less or risk free asset.
Government securities and nationalized bank deposits fall under this
category. As the government securities are not easily available to the
common man, we take the nationalized bank deposits as the risk free asset
and the interest rate on such deposits are considered as risk free return.
2.6.6 SHARPE RATIO
This is a measure of risk-adjusted return on a portfolio. It is a ratio of
excess return to the standard deviation of portfolio returns. An implicit
assumption of the Sharpe ratio is that the portfolio is not combined with
other risky portfolios. It is relevant for performance evaluation when
comparing mutually exclusive portfolios.
The Sharpe measure follows his earlier work on capital asset pricing
model (CAPM) dealing specifically with capital market line (CML).
The Sharpe measure of performance denoted by S is given by
16
Where,
Ri = the average rate of return on portfolio ‘i’ during a specified time
period.
Rf = the average rate of return on a risk free investment during the same period
17
2.6.7 TREYNOR MEASURE
This is also a measure of risk-adjusted return on a portfolio. It is a
ratio of excess return to the systematic risk () of the portfolio. It is relevant
for performance measurement when evaluating portfolios separately or in
combination with other portfolios. A high treynor measure indicated a
favourable relationship between risk and return on the portfolio.
Sharpe Ratio and Treynor measure give the same results in the case of
highly diversified portfolios as the total risk of portfolios approaches that of
a market portfolio.
Where,
Ri = the average rate of return on portfolio ‘i' during a specified time
period.
Rf = the average rate return on a risk free investment during the same
period.
= the slope of the fun’s characteristic line during that time period (this
indicates portfolio’s relative volatility with respect to market portfolio).
18
A larger ‘T’ value indicates a better portfolio performance for all
investors regardless of their risk performances. The numerator of this ratio
(Ri-Rf) is the risk premium and the denominator is a measure of market risk.
The Treynor measure is risk premium per unit of systematic risk.
19
2.6.8 JENSEN’S ALPHA
This is the difference between a fund’s actual return and the return on
a benchmark portfolio with the same systematic risk () of the portfolio
whose performance is being valuated. It measures the ability of active fund
management to earn returns in excess of the reward for market risk. We can
infer meaningful results if it is used to compare two portfolios with similar
betas.
Jensen’s measure is also based on capital asset pricing model. CAPM
estimates the expected return on any security or portfolio by the following
expression:
E (Ri) = Rf + i [E(Rm-Rf)
Where,
E (Ri) = expected return on security or portfolio I
Rf = Risk free return
I = Systematic risk (beta) of security
E (Rm) = expected return on the market portfolio I
Jensen’s alpha () is defined as:
Ri – Rf = I + I (Rm-Rf) + I
20
The value of ‘aj’ suggests whether the portfolio manager possesses
superior (inferior) market timing and stock selection skills. A positive () is
an indication of superior fund management ability.

CHAPTER III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
We cannot find only project on the comparison of the various types of
funds. But a related project is found, the fund families being rated on their
performance. This study was done by value research.
3.1 METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It
explains the various steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in
studying the research problems along with the logic behind it.
3.2 RESULTS OF THE STUDY
The rating scores of a fund house majority of whose funds are un-
rated may not depict the complete story.
