EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project on the Comparison and analysis of various Mutual fund schemes in India vis a vis Benchmark Index was undertaken as a part of learning process of a Management Student.

Mutual funds are popular financial intermediaries and and manage disposable income of the investors so as to bring them benefits of equity investment. The mutual funds in India has caught the attention of millions of investors with diverse interests around the basic principles of investment viz., safety, liquidity and returns

The report provides a comparison of performance of the various mutual funds in India, with respect to S&P CNX 500.

Equity mutual funds predominantly invest in company equities and hence are risky investments. While choosing to invest in equity mutual funds, the investors expect not only risk premium but also better return than the market portfolio. Risk Premium refers to the returns earned by the investor in excess of risk free return.

The key learning from the project was the knowledge of mutual funds and the psychology of the investors.











MUTUAL FUND

CONCEPT:

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 across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.
The profits or losses are shared by the investors in proportion to their investments. 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 and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which regulates securities markets before it can collect funds from the public.
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:




Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart


SEBI MUTUAL FUND REGULATIONS 1996
 Asset management companies may launch schemes either on a “load or no-load basis” or on a mixed basis with two classes of units in the same scheme-one with load and the other without load, provided that the implications of such load on the NAV for the investors shall be clearly explained through a worked-out example in the offer document. Asset Management Company may also launch “partial load” schemes in which a part of the load would be borne by the asset management companies and the balance by the scheme. However such schemes will not qualify to be “no load” schemes and would be treated in the same manner as “load” schemes. In case of a no load scheme, the initial issue expenditure shall be borne by the Asset Management Company.
 For a closed-ended scheme floated on a ‘load’ basis, the initial issue expenses shall be amortized on a weekly basis over the period of the scheme. Provided that in case the schemes provides for partial redemption during the life of the scheme, the amortization shall take into account the number of outstanding units and the aggregate amount during the relevant periods.
 For open-ended schemes floated on a ‘load’ basis, the initial issue expenses may be amortized over a period not exceeding five years. Issue expenses incurred during the life of an open-ended scheme shall not be amortized.
 In case of closed-ended and open-ended schemes floated on a ‘load’ basis, the unamortised portion of the expenses shall be included in the calculation of the NAV. However, such portion shall not be included in the NAV for the purposes of determining the asset management company’s investment management and advisory fees or for determining the limitation of expenses under regulation 51 of these regulations.
 For schemes floated on a ‘no-load’ basis, the asset management company may levy an additional management fee not exceeding 1% of the NAV. The asset management company may be entitled to levy a contingent deferred sales charge for redemption during the first four years after purchase, not exceeding 4% of the redemption proceeds in the first year, 3% in the second year, 2% in the third year and 1% in the fourth year.

Types of Mutual Funds Schemes:

Wide variety of Mutual Fund Schemes exists to cater to the needs such as financial position, risk tolerance and return expectations etc. The table below gives an overview into the existing types of schemes in the Industry:
• By Structure:
o Open - Ended Schemes
o Close - Ended Schemes
o Interval Schemes
• By Investment Objective:
o Growth Schemes
o Income Schemes
o Balanced Schemes
o Money Market Schemes
• Other Schemes:
o Tax Saving Schemes
o Special Schemes
 Index Schemes
 Sector Specific Schemes
Schemes according to Maturity Period:

A mutual fund scheme can be classified into open-ended scheme or close-ended scheme depending on its maturity period.

Open-ended Fund/ Scheme:

An open-ended fund or scheme is one that is available for subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis. These schemes do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices which are declared on a daily basis. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.

 Close-ended Fund/ Scheme:
A close-ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the time of launch of the scheme. Investors can invest in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where the units are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the mutual fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor i.e. either repurchase facility or through listing on stock exchanges. These mutual funds schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis.

Schemes according to Investment Objective :

A scheme can also be classified as growth scheme, income scheme, or balanced scheme considering its investment objective. Such schemes may be open-ended or close-ended schemes as described earlier. Such schemes may be classified mainly as follows:

 Growth / Equity Oriented Scheme:
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital appreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences. The investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time.


 Income / Debt Oriented Scheme :
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, Government securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term investors may not bother about these fluctuations.

 Balanced Fund:
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as such schemes invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. These are appropriate for investors looking for moderate growth. They generally invest 40-60% in equity and debt instruments. These funds are also affected because of fluctuations in share prices in the stock markets. However, NAVs of such funds are likely to be less volatile compared to pure equity funds.

 Money Market or Liquid Fund:
These funds are also income funds and their aim is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital and moderate income. These schemes invest exclusively in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money, government securities, etc. Returns on these schemes fluctuate much less compared to other funds. These funds are appropriate for corporate and individual investors as a means to park their surplus funds for short periods.

 Gilt Fund:
These funds invest exclusively in government securities. Government securities have no default risk. NAVs of these schemes also fluctuate due to change in interest rates and other economic factors as is the case with income or debt oriented schemes.

 Index Funds:
Index Funds replicate the portfolio of a particular index such as the BSE Sensitive index, S&P NSE 50 index (Nifty), etc These schemes invest in the securities in the same weightage comprising of an index. NAVs of such schemes would rise or fall in accordance with the rise or fall in the index, though not exactly by the same percentage due to some factors known as "tracking error" in technical terms. Necessary disclosures in this regard are made in the offer document of the mutual fund scheme.
There are also exchange traded index funds launched by the mutual funds which are traded on the stock exchanges.

ADVANTAGES OF INVESTING IN A MUTUAL FUND:
It may not be obvious at first why you would want to purchase shares in different securities through a mutual fund “middleman” instead of simply purchasing the securities on your own. There are, however, some very good reasons why millions of people across the world opt to invest in mutual funds instead of, or in addition to, buying securities directly. Mutual funds offer following benefits.

 DIVERSIFICATION:
One rule of investing that both large and small investors should follow is asset diversification. Used to manage risk, diversification involves the mixing of investments within a portfolio. For eg., by choosing to buy stocks in retail sector and offsetting them with stocks in industrial sector, an investor can reduce the impact of the performance of any one security on his portfolio. To achieve a truly diversified portfolio, an investor may have to buy stocks with different capitalizations from different industries and bonds having varying maturities from different issuers. For the individual investor this can be quite costly. By purchasing mutual funds, an investor is provided with the immediate benefit of instant diversification and asset allocation without the large amounts of cash needed to create individual portfolios. One caveat, however, is that simply purchasing one mutual fund might not give you adequate diversification- check to see if the fund is sector specific or industry specific. For eg., investing in an oil and energy mutual fund might spread your money over fifty companies , but if energy prices fall, your portfolio will likely suffer.

 ECONOMIES OF SCALE:
The easiest way to understand economies of scale is by thinking about volume discounts: in many stores the more of one product you buy, the cheaper that product becomes. For eg., when you buy a dozen apples, the price per apple is cheaper than buying a single one. This occurs also in the purchase and sale of securities. If an investor buys only one security at a time, the transaction fee will be relatively large.
Mutual funds are able to take advantage of their buying and selling size and thereby reduce transaction costs for investors. When an investor buys a mutual fund, he is able to diversify without the numerous commission charges. Imagine if you had to buy the 10-20 stocks needed for diversification. The commission charges alone would eat up a good chunk of your savings.




 PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT:
Mutual funds are managed by a team of professionals, which usually includes one mutual fund manager and several analysts. Presumably, professionals have more experience, knowledge, and information than the average investor when it comes to deciding which securities to buy and sell. They also have the ability to focus on just a single area of expertise.

 POTENTIAL RETURN:
Mutual funds have the potential to provide a higher return to an investor than any other option over a reasonable period of time.

 LOWER RISK:
Mutual Funds invest the money in a large number of securities, thereby spreading the funds invested over a large number of securities and at times even over different asset classes within the same scheme. Investment in a large number of securities, and different asset classes reduces the risk to which an ordinary person investing by himself might be exposed.

 BETTER PORTFOLIO FOR LESS MONEY:
Since the investor buys a share in the assets of the fund, he gets a proportionate right over a large number of securities, which he would be unable to possess if he were to invest himself. For instance Rs. 5000 may not be enough to buy even one share of a top notch software company while the same Rs. 5000 invested in an Information Technology Mutual Fund will get the investor a proportionate share in a large number of premium software scripts.

 LIQUIDITY:
The investor can get the money promptly at the net asset value related prices from the Mutual Funds open-ended schemes. In closed-ended schemes, the units can be sold on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price.
 TRANSPARENCY:
Mutual Funds have to disclose their holdings, investment pattern and the necessary information before all investors under a regulation framework.
 FLEXIBILITY:
Investments in Mutual Funds offer a lot of flexibility with features of schemes such as regular investment plan, regular withdrawal plans and dividend reinvestment plans enabling systematic investment or withdrawal of funds.
DISADVANTAGES OF INVESTING IN MUTUAL FUNDS:
There are certainly some benefits to mutual fund investing, but we should also be aware of the drawbacks associated with mutual funds.

 NO GUARANTEES:
No investment is risk free. If the entire stock market declines in value, the value of mutual fund shares will go down as well, no matter how balanced the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sell stocks on their own. However, anyone who invests through a mutual fund runs the risk of losing money.

 FEES AND COMMISSIONS:
All funds charge administrative fees to cover their day-to-day expenses. Some funds also charge sales commissions or "loads" to compensate brokers, financial consultants, or financial planners. Even if you don't use a broker or other financial adviser, you will pay a sales commission if you buy shares in a Load Fund.

 TAXES:
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from 20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. If your fund makes a profit on its sales, you will pay taxes on the income you receive, even if you reinvest the money you made.

 MANAGEMENT RISK:
When you invest in a mutual fund, you depend on the fund's manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the manager does not perform as well as you had hoped, you might not make as much money on your investment as you expected.

WHAT RISK IS ONE EXPOSED TO WHILE INVESTING IN MUTUAL FUNDS?
 MARKET RISK:
If the overall stock or bond markets fall on account of macro economic factors, the value of stock or bond holdings in the fund’s portfolio can drop thereby impacting the NAV.
 NON-MARKET RISK:
Bad news about an individual company can pull down its stock price, which can affect, negatively, funds holding a large quantity of that stock. This risk can be reduced by having a diversified portfolio that consists of a wide variety of stocks drawn from different industries.
 INTEREST RATE RISK:
Bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rate rises, bond prices fall and the decline in underlying securities affect the NAV negatively. The extent of negative impact is dependent on factors such as maturity profile, liquidity etc.
 CREDIT RISK:
Bonds are debt obligations. So when the funds invest in corporate bonds, they run the risk of the corporates defaulting on their interest payment and the principal payment obligations and when that risk crystallizes it leads to a fall in the value of bond causing the NAV of the fund to take a beating.


TAX BENEFITS

SECTION 10(33) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961
The dividend received by the investors from the scheme will be exempt from income tax for all categories of investors under Section 10(33) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The scheme will pay a distribution tax currently @10% plus surcharge if the portfolio holds less than 50 percent debt securities on an average during the last one-year period.
SECTION 88 OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961
Specified units of mutual fund schemes qualify for rebate under Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, subscription to the Units of the Scheme by Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families, not exceeding Rupees ten thousand would be eligible to a deduction, from income-tax, of an amount equal to 20% of the amount so subscribed. In the case of subscription by an individual, whose income is derived from the exercise of his profession as an author, playwright, artist, musician, actor or sportsman (including an athlete), the deduction admissible would be at the rate of 25%.
TAX DEDUCTED AT SOURCE (TDS)
There will not be any Tax Deduction at Source on payment to resident unit-holders towards redemption or dividends.
CAPITAL GAINS BENEFIT UNDER SECTION 112 OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961
Long-term capital gains in respect of Units held for a period of more than 12 months will be chargeable under Section 112 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, at a concessional rate of tax @ 20% (excluding surcharge)
From the full value of consideration, the following amounts would be deductible to arrive at the amount of capital gains:
Cost of acquisition as adjusted by Cost Inflation Index notified by the Central Government and
Expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer. Investors can also opt to pay tax @10% (excluding surcharge) on such Long Term Capital Gains, but without the cost inflation indexation benefit.



DIFFERENT PLANS THAT MUTUAL FUND OFFERS:

 GROWTH PLAN:
Under the growth plan, the investor realizes only the capital appreciation on the investment (by an increase in NAV) and does not get any income in the form of dividend.

 INCOME PLAN:
Under the income plan, the investor realizes the income in the form of dividend. However his NAV will fall to the extent of the dividend.

 DIVIDEND RE-INVESTMENT PLAN:
Here the dividend accrued on the mutual fund is automatically re-invested in purchasing additional units in open-ended funds. In most cases mutual fund offer the investor an option of collecting dividends or re-investing the same.

 SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN (SIP):
Here the investor is given the option of preparing a pre-determined number of post-dated cheques in favour of the fund. He will get units on the same of the cheque at the existing NAV.

 SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN:
As opposed to systematic investment plan, the systematic withdrawal plan allows the investor the facility to withdraw a pre-determined amount/units from his fund at a pre-determined interval. The investor’s units will be redeemed at the existing NAV as on that day.

 SYSTEMATIC TRANSFER PLAN:
A systematic transfer plan is a disciplined way of shifting part of your current investment into other schemes, which will help you diversifying your investment. A systematic transfer plan enables you to switch or transfer a fixed amount of money at regular intervals from your fixed income scheme investments to designated equity and balanced schemes. In effect this is similar to a systematic investment plan, except that in a SIP the investment flows from a bank account into the fund and here it flows from one scheme to another.

 RETIREMENT PENSION PLAN:
Some schemes are linked with retirement pension. Individuals participate in these plans for themselves, and corporates for their employees.

Equity/Growth Schemes

SCHEMES OF RELIANCE MUTUAL FUND

Equity/growth schemes
The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital appreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences. The investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time.

Debt/Income Schemes
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, Government securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term investors may not bother about these fluctuations.

Sector Specific Schemes
These are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those sectors or industries as specified in the offer documents. e.g. Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the performance of the respective sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns, they are more risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the performance of those sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time. They may also seek advice of an expert.













RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. once can also define research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. Research is an art of scientific investigation.

The advanced learner’s dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as ’’a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.’’

Redman and Mory define research as a “systemized effort to gain new knowledge.” Some people consider research as a movement, a movement from the known to the unknown.

Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense. According to Clifford woody research comprise defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solution; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusion; and at last carefully testing the 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 persuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparision and experiment. In short, the search for knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solution to a problem is research. The systematic approach concerning generalization and the formulation of a theory is also research. As such the term ‘research’ refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problem, formulating a hypothesis, collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain conclusions either in the form of solutions formulation.

The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own specific purpose. The role of research in several fields of applied economics, whether related to business or to the economy as a whole, has greatly increased in modern times. The increasingly complex nature of business and government has focused attention on the use of research in solving operational problems. Research, as an aid to economic policy, has gained added importance, both for government and business.

Research Methodology of the study

Reserarch to be conducted mainly on exploratory study only. In exploratory research, the focus is on the discovery of ideas.An exploratory study is generally based on the secondary data that are readily available. It does not have a formal and rigid design as the researcher may have to change his focus or direction, depending on the availability of news ideas and relationships among variables.

Tools of data collection:
Data collection would be done mainly through secondary sources like journal, magazines, Internet and books.

TITLE OF THE STUDY

DURATION OF PROJECT :- 45 DAYS

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of my study was to do the comparison and analysis of various equity based mutual fund schemes and Benchmark Index(S&P CNX 500).

SUB OBJECTIVE :
The objective is to assess the financial performance of equity mutual funds in terms of quarterly profits for a two year period,2005-2006. Rate of returns is the commonly accepted measure for aassessing the profitability of equity mutual funds.

Data and their sources
The sample:
I have used five equity funds for comparative analysis, all these funds are well-diversified equity funds with major investment in equities and equity related instruments. These are very aggressive funds. Following are the five equity funds, which I have chosen purely on the basis of recent performances:
 ICICI PRU Dynamic Fund
 DSP Merill Lynch Mutual Fund
 HDFC Equity Fund
 Reliance Growth Fund
 Franklin Templeton Prima Fund

The Market Proxy:
For evaluating the investment performance, it is necessary to choose a benchmark against with the performance of the sample schemes is compared I have used the S&P CNX 500 Index as benchmark as it is a widely used index both by practitioners and researchers.





CURRENT SCENARIO OF MUTUAL FUND:
Some basic facts:
• The money market mutual fund segment has a total corpus of $ 1.48 trillion in the U.S. against a corpus of $ 100 million in India.
• Out of the top 10 mutual funds worldwide, eight are bank- sponsored. Only Fidelity and Capital are non-bank mutual funds in this group.
• In the U.S. the total number of schemes is higher than that of the listed companies while in India we have just 277 schemes
• Internationally, mutual funds are allowed to go short. In India fund managers do not have such leeway.
• In the U.S. about 9.7 million households will manage their assets on-line by the year 2003, such a facility is not yet of avail in India.
• On- line trading is a great idea to reduce management expenses from the current 2 % of total assets to about 0.75 % of the total assets.
• 72% of the core customer bases of mutual funds in the top 50-broking firms in the U.S. are expected to trade on-line by 2003.

(Source: The Financial Express September, 99)
Internationally, on-line investing continues its meteoric rise. Many have debated about the success of e- commerce and its breakthroughs, but it is true that this aspect of technology could and will change the way financial sectors function. However, mutual funds cannot be left far behind. They have realized the potential of the Internet and are equipping themselves to perform better.
In fact in advanced countries like the U.S.A, mutual funds buy- sell transactions have already begun on the Net, while in India the Net is used as a source of Information.
Such changes could facilitate easy access, lower intermediation costs and better services for all. A research agency that specializes in internet technology estimates that over the next four years Mutual Fund Assets traded on- line will grow ten folds from $ 128 billion to $ 1,227 billion ; whereas equity assets traded on-line will increase during the period from $ 246 billion to $ 1,561 billion. This will increase the share of mutual funds from 34% to 40% during the period.
(Source: The Financial Express September ,99)
Such increases in volumes are expected to bring about large changes in the way Mutual Funds conduct their business.
Here are some of the basic changes that have taken place since the advent of the Net.
• Lower Costs: Distribution of funds will fall in the online trading regime by 2003 . Mutual funds could bring down their administrative costs to 0.75% if trading is done on- line. As per SEBI regulations , bond funds can charge a maximum of 2.25% and equity funds can charge 2.5% as administrative fees. Therefore if the administrative costs are low , the benefits are passed down and hence Mutual Funds are able to attract mire investors and increase their asset base.

• Better advice: Mutual funds could provide better advice to their investors through the Net rather than through the traditional investment routes where there is an additional channel to deal with the Brokers. Direct dealing with the fund could help the investor with their financial planning.

• In India , brokers could get more Net savvy than investors and could help the investors with the knowledge through get from the Net.

• New investors would prefer online : Mutual funds can target investors who are young individuals and who are Net savvy, since servicing them would be easier on the Net.

• India has around 1.6 million net users who are prime target for these funds and this could just be the beginning. The Internet users are going to increase dramatically and mutual funds are going to be the best beneficiary. With smaller administrative costs more funds would be mobilized .A fund manager must be ready to tackle the volatility and will have to maintain sufficient amount of investments which are high liquidity and low yielding investments to honor redemption.

• Net based advertisements: There will be more sites involved in ads and promotion of mutual funds. In the U.S. sites like AOL offer detailed research and financial details about the functioning of different funds and their performance statistics. A is witnessing a genesis in this area.










S&P CNX 500

The S&P CNX 500 is India’s first broad-based benchmark of the Indian capital market for comparing portfolio returns vis-a-vis market returns. The S&P CNX 500 represents about 96% of total market capitalization and about 93% of the total turnover on the NSE.
The S&P CNX 500 companies are disaggregated into 72 industry indices viz. S&P CNX Industry Indices. Industry weightages in the index reflect the industry weightages in the market. For e.g. if the banking sector has a 5% weightage in the universe of stocks traded on NSE, banking stocks in the index would also have an approx. representation of 5% in the index.

Method of Computation:
S&P CNX 500 is computed using market capitalization weighted method, wherein the level of the index reflects the total market value of all the stocks in the index relative to a particular base period. The method also takes into account constituent changes in the index and importantly corporate actions such as stock splits, rights, etc without affecting the index value.

Base Date and Value:
The calendar year 1994 has been selected as the base year for S&P CNX 500. The base value of the index is set at 1000.
Criteria for Selection of Constituent Stocks.
The constituents and the criteria for the selection judge the effectiveness of the index. Selection of the index set is based on the following criteria:

Market Capitalization
• Industry Representation
• Trading Interest
• Financial Performance

Market Capitalization:
A company’s rank on market capitalisation is an important consideration for its inclusion in the Index.

Industry Representation:
S&P CNX 500 Equity Index reflects the market as closely as possible. In order to ensure that this is accomplished, industry weightages in the index mirror the industry weightages in the universe. Consequently, companies to be included in the index are selected from the industries which are under represented in the index.

S&P CNX 500 Equity Index currently contains 72 industries, including one category of diversified companies and one category of miscellaneous. The number of industries in the Index and the number of companies within each industry have been kept flexible, in order to ensure that the Index retains its objective of being an dynamic market indicator.

Trading Interest:
S&P CNX 500 Equity Index includes those companies which have a minimum listing record of 6 months on the Exchange. In addition these companies must have demonstrated high turnover and trading frequency.

Financial Performance:
S&P CNX 500 Equity Index includes companies that have minimum record of three years with a positive net worth.

Others:
A company which comes out with a IPO will be eligible for inclusion in the index, if it fulfills the normal eligibility criteria for the index for a 3 month period instead of a 6 month period.

Index Maintenance:
Index Maintenance plays a crucial role in ensuring stability of the Index as well as in meeting its objective of being a consistent benchmark of the equity markets.

IISL has constituted an Index Policy Committee, which is involved in policy and guidelines for managing the CNX Indices. The Index Maintenance Sub-committee takes all decisions on addition/ deletion of companies in any Index.

The index is reviewed every quarter and a four weeks notice is given to the market before making changes to the index set.

Why does the index keep changing from time to time?
Think of a liquid stock as a good thermometer, one which gives accurate data about the true price of the stock, because it trades actively with a tight spread. The prices observed for an illiquid stock are like readings from a low quality thermometer, which reports noisy data about the phenomenon of interest (the true price of the security). We try to find the fifty best thermometers in the country and average their values to make the S&P CNX Nifty. As time passes, better thermometers become available (in the form of large, liquid stocks that are not in the S&P CNX Nifty). We would like that S&P CNX Nifty always uses the best thermometers possible. So we remove the weakest thermometer from inside the S&P CNX Nifty and accept the new stock into it. The world changes, so the index should change. Yet, the change should not be sudden - for that would disrupt the character of the index. S&P CNX Nifty uses clear, researched and publicly documented rules for index revision. These rules are applied regularly, to obtain changes to the index set. Index reviews are carried out every quarter to ensure that each security in the index fulfills all the laid down criteria. IDBI was once not listed; SBI was once illiquid; Infosys was once an obscure software startup. The world changes, and one by one, these stocks have come into the S&P CNX Nifty. Each change in the S&P CNX Nifty is small, so the continuity of the index is maintained. Yet, at all times, S&P CNX Nifty represents the 50 most important liquid stocks in the country, the best thermometers to build an index out of.

When a stock goes out and a new stock comes in, doesn't that make index levels non-comparable?
There are mathematical formulas which ensure that yesterday's value and today's are comparable, even if a change in composition takes place in-between. Think of an index as a portfolio. The composition of the portfolio changes, but it is still meaningful to keep measuring the overnight returns on the portfolio from day to day. These returns, cumulated up, are the index level.























Review Of Literature

1. Financial Management of Private and Public Equity Mutual Funds in India: An Analysis of Profitability (By H.J Sondhi and PK Jain from The ICFAI Journal of applied finance, July 2005)

This article examines the rates of returns generated by equity mutual funds,vis-ŕ-vis,364 days T-bills and the Bombay Stock Exchange-100(BSE-100) National Index during the period 1993-2002.Rate of return on 364 days T-bill is the surrogate measure for risk free return and the BSE-100 National index has been chosen as proxy for market portfolio in our analysis. Equity mutual funds predominantly invest in company equities and hence are risky investments while choosing to invest in equity mutual funds, the investors expect not only risk premium but also better returns than the market portfolio.
The paper has been divided in to four sections.Section1 outlines the scope and methodology of the study that includes, inter alia, the basis of computation of rate of return earned by the equity mutual funds,364 days T-bills and BSE-100 National Index,Section2 computes and analyzes rates of return.Section3 is concerned with comparision od rates of return of private sector company sponsored equity mutual funds and PSU sponsored equity mutual funds Concluding observations have been recapitulated in Section 4.

4. Empirical Investigation on the Investment Managers’ Stock Selection Abilities: The Indian Experience (By Ramesh Chander from The ICFAI Journal of applied finance, August 2005)

The study examined the stock selection abilities of investment managers in India across the fund characteristics as well as the persistence of such performance. It also investigated performance variability for a sample of 80 investment schemes for the period starting from January 1998-December 2002.On the whole, the results reported documents significant statistical evidences for passive stock selection abilities of Indian investment managers. It points to the consistency of performance across the measurement criteria. Investment Performance depends on the stock selection and pertains to the successful micro forecasting for company specific events.

5. Mutual Fund Industry in India: On a growth Trail
(Cover Story, Chartered Financial Analyst, July 2005)

The mutual fund industry in India has been on a roll as the assets under management continue to see strong spurt in growth. The assets under management swelled to Rs. 1, 67,978 cr. By May 31, 2005 from Rs.1, 01,565 cr. In January 2000.This apart, the industry has also seen a spurt in the number of schemes on offer which amount to 460 at present, catering to varied needs of investors. A booming economy, soaring stock market and a conducive regulatory environment, amongst a slew of other factors have added to the growth of the industry. Given the huge opportunity in sub-urban and rural markets, which lie hitherto untapped and growing income levels in the country, the industry’s future look bright.


6. Managing Mutual Fund Investments in the Era of change
(By Kulbhushan Chandel and OP Verma from the ICFAI Journal of applied finance, October 2005)

The study is confined to evaluate the performance of mutual funds on the basis of weekly returns compared with risk free security returns and BSE Index. The present study includes the five different sector specific schemes. Among these 25 schemes, only sector specific schemes floated by different institutions have been studied .To evaluate the performance of funds only three performance measures have been applied i.e. Sharpe Index,Treynor Index and Jensen’s measure. It is observed that the performance of sample schemes during the study period is best.However; there are some instances where poor performance has been reflected. It may lead to regain investor’s confidence










































PARAMETERS OF COMPARISON

1. RELATIVE TO BENCHMARK METHOD
Under this method a comparison is made between the returns given by a market index, and the fund over a given period of time. If the returns generated by the fund as measured by changes in NAV over that given period of time are greater than those generated by the benchmark then the fund is deemed to have outperformed the market portfolio.
2. BETA
Beta compares mutual funds volatility with that of a benchmark and is supposed to give some sense of how far we can expect a fund to fall when the market takes a dive, or how high it might climb if the bull is running hard. A fund with a beta greater than 1 is considered more volatile than the market; less than 1 means less volatile.
3. RISK-RETURN METHOD
The Relative-to-Benchmark measure is very simplistic, as it does not incorporate any measure of risk in its calculation. An investor would naturally be interested in finding out the return generated for the risk undertaken, as, in a bid to generate super normal return, the fund may go overboard on the risk parameter. Therefore, risk adjusted measures of return are needed to measure the performance of funds. There are several such measures prominent among which are the Sharpe ratio, the Treynor ratio, and Alpha:

 SHARPE RATIO
This measure uses standard deviation as a measure to evaluate a fund's risk-adjusted returns. The higher a fund's Sharpe ratio, the better it is i.e. a fund's returns would be regarded good if the fund returns a high level of Sharpe ratio. Mathematically, it is arrived at by deducting the risk free returns from the returns generated by the fund and dividing the residual figure by the standard deviation of the fund's returns. One thing that has to be kept in mind while using this measure is that the ratio is not an absolute figure. Its real utility lies in inter scheme comparison.
 TREYNOR'S RATIO
The other measure Treynor's ratio also has the same attributes with the difference that the residual figure in this case is divided by beta rather than the standard deviation, thus reflecting only the systematic risk. Beta of the fund is a volatility measure that quantifies sensitivity of the fund's return to the benchmark index's returns i.e. given the movements of the benchmark how much the fund will move. It does not give representation to unsystematic risk under the assumption that the fund manager can easily wipe out the unsystematic risk by diversifying across a large number of stocks.

This fund has managed to squeeze superlative gains out of risky mid-caps and should find a place in every portfolio, though in a small dose because:
 The fund is up 20 per cent beating three-fourth funds in the category. And the story is similar for the previous years–it has finished each of the past three years among top three funds.
 Mid-caps are always volatile and the fund's volatility should not come as a surprise. Its standard deviation of 8.22 in the past three years is on the higher side in the category. But an impressive five-year annualized return of 28 per cent makes up for it.
 December 2003 was a great month for the fund as it posted one of its best performances in its decade-old existence gaining 24 per cent. Its sector calls in services, textiles, chemicals and automobiles were brilliant in hindsight.
Overall, it has managed to squeeze superlative gains out of risky mid-caps and should find a place in every portfolio, though in a small dose

Reliance Growth can bring that extra zing to your portfolio. The fund has a well-diversified portfolio but it is not a conventional diversified equity fund due to a heavy mid- and small-cap bias, high turnover and the high cash component.
 Reliance Growth fund has garnered top-notch returns for the third year in a row. After gaining 56 per cent in 2002 and 156 per cent in 2003, Reliance Growth was up another 42.57 per cent in 2004.

 The fund is also unique in the diversity of the stocks it holds, be it large, mid- or small-cap and growth or value stocks—you will find everything in its portfolio.

 Though a major part of Reliance Growth's portfolio consists of quality stocks, it hardly sticks to anything for long. Even if it is HLL, Reliance or Tata Motors, the fund keeps on selling and buying at every rise or fall in their share prices.

 It is also more partial to small-caps than other diversified equity funds. And, in fact, this bias towards small-caps since July 2004 till date has been the biggest contributing factor for the fund's excellent performance. The fund's small-cap holdings like Uniphos Enterprises, Swaraj Mazda, Sintex Industries and EID Parry have seen their prices surge manifold since then.

 Following the rally in bank and auto stocks in 2003, Reliance Growth increased exposure in both sectors. And recently, the fund's higher allocation to technology and engineering stocks added to its superlative performance.

ANALYSIS
HDFC Equity Fund is an aggressive diversified fund .The fund manager is bullish on the long-term and expects returns in line with earnings growth. IN the beginning of the year both index and fund have given negative return. In 3rd qtr. Investors start getting returns over and above the risk free return but the fund has outperformed the index by quite a margin, primarily because of fund manager’s aggressive portfolio churning. Where as in the last qtr. The fund has underperformed.


ANALYSIS
Year 2005 was very volatile, in the b egining of the year both the index and the fund has not given any return. But the bull run starts from Qtr.2 Which was remain there till the end.


ANALYSIS
From the above we can draw the fund has outperformed index but not as much as the other funds in the same category, primarily because of the fund manager’s conservative approach.


ANALYSIS
ICICI Pru Dynamic fund was giving same return as of index which was remain throughout the year.


ANALYSIS
Initially the fund has underperformed than that of index but in the later part of the year it has outperformed the index.


ANALYSIS
Franklin prima fund is one of the largest gainer in the 2005 in its category, which can clearly be interpreted from above.


ANALYSIS
Even when the index has given negative returns in the beginning of the year than that of risk free return, The fund has given the positive returns .The fund has given steady return to the investors throughout the year.


ANALYSIS
Reliance Growth Fund has been outperformed the index,we can inter pręt that because of its less variability in the returns over various qtr. It has high sharpe’s ratio than that of index


Findings
Based on the above ratios,we can see that four of these five funds-Franklin Prima,SBI Equity,HDFC Equity, Reliance Growth outperformed the S&P 500 Index on an excess return-risk basis during the year 2004.Since this is an ordinal(relative) measure of portfolio performance, different portfolios can easily be ranked on this variable. Using only the Sharpe’s measure of the portfolio performance, we would judge the portfolio with the highest Sharpe’s Ratio (risk to variability ratio) best in terms of exp post performance. Thus Reliance Growth is the best performer and Pru Dynamic is the worst performer vis a vis S&P 500.

ICICI 6.685766
PRIMA 8.808584
GROWTH 10.32903
SBI 5.513816
HDFC 9.136044

FINDINGS
As we can see that all the funds Sharpe’s Ratio exceed the Sharpe’s ratio of the S&P CNX 500 for the year 2005.The average return for all the fund Franklin Prima,SBI Equity,HDFC Equity, Reliance Growth,ICICI Pru Dynamic are quite close but because of their difference in S.D,The Sharpe’s ratios differed. Reliance Growth was the best performer and SBI Equity was the least. This indicates that Reliance growth has superior risk-adjusted performance than the other funds.

HDFC 0.230929





FINDINGS















TREYNOR RATIOS

ICICI 0.473527
PRIMA 0.69876
GROWTH 0.855697
SBI 0.352228
HDFC 0.57131





FINDINGS





CONCLUSION
Comparing the Sharpe and Treynor Measures:
Given their similarity, when should Sharpe and Treynor be used, and why? Actually, given the assumptions underlying each measure, both can be said to be correct. Therefore, it is usually desirable to calculate both measures for the set of portfolios being evaluated.
The choice of which to use could depend on definition on risk. If an investor thinks it correct to use systematic risk,.Treynor is appropriate.
This analysis leads to an important observation about the Sharpe and Treynor measures. Investors who have all of their assets in a potrtfolio iof securities should rely more on Sharpe measure,because it asseses the portfolio’s total return in relation to total risk,which includes any unsystematic risk assumed by the investor.
