3. OVERVIEW OF MUTUAL FUND
•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 is 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.

5. History of the Indian Mutual
Fund Industry
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963
with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the
initiative of the Government of India and
Reserve Bank.
The history of mutual funds in India can be
broadly divided into four distinct phases:

6. First Phase – 1964-87
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on
1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set up by
the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under
the Regulatory and administrative control of the
Reserve Bank of India.
The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit
Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had
Rs.6,700 crores of assets under management.

7. Second Phase – 1987-1993 (Entry of
Public Sector Funds)
1987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public sector
mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life
Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General
Insurance Corporation of India (GIC).
SBI Mutual Fund was the first non- UTI Mutual
Fund established in June 1987.

8. Third Phase – 1993-2003 (Entry of
Private Sector Funds)
With the entry of private sector funds in 1993, a new
era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving
the Indian investors a wider choice of fund families.
In 1993 was the year in which the first Mutual Fund
Regulations came into being, under which all mutual
funds, except UTI were to be registered and
governed.

9. Fourth Phase – since
February 2003
In February 2003,
Formation of UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB,
BOB and LIC. It is registered with SEBI and functions under
the Mutual Fund Regulations.

13. Entry Load / Exit Load
 A load is a charge , which the mutual fund may collect on
entry and /or exit from a fund. some funds do not charge
any entry or exit load.
 The mutual fund would buy back the units at rate lower
than the NAV. There are no fixed exit loads which are
charged. It varies based on the scheme. The current
practice is the funds could charge any way from 0.5% to 3%
depending on the holding period. If the investors continue
to hold the investment beyond the specified period, no exit
load is charged.
 For eg: An equity fund currently at an NAV of Rs. 72/- per
unit charges, exit load of 1% if the investor exits within 1
year of investment. If an investor wants to sell his mutual
fund units, which were bought 7 months back the
redemption NAV for such investor would be Rs.71.20/-

14.  Transaction Charges: These charges are one time charges
applicable when the money is invested. This is applicable for the
investments of over Rs. 10,000/-. This would be paid to the
distributor/intermediary who is selling the fund.
 Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is an investment vehicle offered
by mutual funds to investors, allowing them to invest using small
periodically amounts instead of lump sums. The frequency of
investment is usually weekly, monthly or quarterly.
