3. Introduction of Mutual Fund
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.
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 unitholders.
The profits or losses are shared by the investors in proportion
to their investments.
A mutual fund is required to be registered with SEBI which
regulates securities markets, before it can not collect funds
from public.
4. The small investors who generally lack expertise to invest on their
own in the securities market have reinforced the saying “Put not your
trust in money, put your money in trust”.
Experiment with MFs in India began in 1964 with the establishment of
Unit Trust of India (UTI). UTI lost its monopoly status in 1987 with
the entry of other public sector MFs promoted by public sector banks
and insurance companies.
Household savings play an important role in domestic capital formation.
Only a small part of the household savings in India is channelised to
the capital market. As a traditional investment vehicle, the mutual
funds pool resources from the households and allocate them to various
investment opportunities.

A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) helps you in

A Systematic Investment Plan or SIP is a smart and
hassle free mode for investing money in mutual
funds. SIP allows you to invest a certain pre-
determined amount at a regular interval (weekly,
monthly, quarterly, etc.). A SIP is a planned
approach towards investments and helps you
inculcate the habit of saving and building wealth for
the future. In simple terms…
13. Value averaging Investment Plan
A Value averaging Investment Plan (VIP) is an
investment strategy that works like an SIP – you
invest on a pre determined date, into a fixed mutual
fund scheme, achieving the purpose of disciplined
investing.
But while in an SIP the amount is fixed and units may
change, in a VIP you have a target value of your
portfolio, which increases by say Rs. x,000 per
month, and you invest the difference between the
current value of your portfolio, and the targeted
portfolio investment value.
14. Net Asset Value
NAV is the total asset value per unit of the fund and is
calculated by the Asset Management Company
(AMC) at the end of every business day. Net asset
value on a particular date reflects the realisable
value that the investor will get for each unit that he
is holding if the scheme is liquidated on that date.
NAV=
[(Market Value of Securities + Cash and Equivalent Holdings) - Fund
Liabilities]
Total Fund Shares Outstanding
15. Assets Management Company
The AMC should be approved by SEBI & should enter
into an agreement with the trustees of the mutual
fund to formulate schemes, raise money against
units, invest the funds in securities and after meeting
the permissible costs as per norms, distribute income
to the share holders of the funds.
Every mutual fund is required to have an Asset
Management Company (AMC) incorporated in
accordance with the Companies Act, 1956 to
manage the funds of mutual fund.

Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are banks where a majority stake (i.e. more than 50%) is held by a government. The shares of these banks are listed on stock exchanges. There are a total of 27 PSBs in India [21 Nationalized banks + 6 State bank group (SBI + 5 associates) ].
In 2011 IDBI bank and in 2014 Bharatiya Mahila Bank were nationalized with a minimum capital of Rs 500 cr.
Open-end funds always trade at NAV, but usually do not deliver a high yield to investors because they typically focus on capital gains, not income.
