3. How Mutual Funds works

4. Advantages of Mutual Funds
Providing greats Affordability & Liquidity
• Affordability: Small investor can afford to invest in
Mutual Funds. They provide an attractive &cost effective
alternative to direct purchase of shares. In the absence
of Mutual Funds. Small investors cannot think of
participated in a number of investment with such a
meagre sum.
• Liquidity: Units can be sold to the fund at any time at the Net
Asset Value (NAV) and thus quick access to liquid cash is
assured. Net Asset Value: The repurchase price is linked to the
Net Asset Value.
(NAV: Market price of each unit of a particular scheme in
relation to all the assets of the scheme. This value is a true
indicator of the performance of the fund.)

5. How to calculate NET Asset Value
• If NAV is more than the face value of the unit, it clearly
indicated that the money invested on that unit has
appreciated and the fund has performed well.
E.g.: Fortune Mutual Fund introduced a scheme size –
100 crores value of each unit is Rs.10.
the company invested all funds in share and debenture
and for market value of investment comes to Rs.200
crores.
200 crores
NAV =------------- X Value of each unit.
100 crores
= 2 X 10
= 20/-
Hence NAV = Rs. 20/-

6. High Performing Mutual Funds – Are
they Best Mutual Funds?
• Let us take an example of cricket. I will consider two players to give
you an idea about what I am going to share with you in this post.
• First cricketer is Rahul Dravid and the second one is Shahid Afridi.
Both are the best batsmen. However, on whom we rely most?
• Is it on Dravid or Afridi? Definitely on the WALL (Dravid) because of
his consistency but not on high sixes and fours of Afridi.
• If you we look at the cricketing career of both the batsman
the average is high for Rahul Dravid. However, strike rate is high for
Shahid Afridi.

7. High Performing Mutual Funds –
How they can kill your wealth?
• Let us say, two friends, Mr.Chinmay and Mr. Loukik decided
to invest in equity mutual funds. They searched and found
two funds are really high rated. Let us say these two funds
as Fund ABC and Fund XYZ.
• However, they again found that both funds average returns
over 5 years are same. Now they really in a confused mind
of which one to choose.
• Both are high performing mutual funds and both are
ranking highly in all rating portals. Also, the average 5
years returns are almost same.
• In such a situation, which one to choose?
• Here come the Dravid and Afridi example. Who performed
consistently with lowest ups and downs? This is also be
called Standard Deviation.

8. Why we consider High Performing
Mutual Funds?
• It is human tendency to look for BEST while buying
something or investing. So obviously we go in search for
BEST or high performing mutual funds.
• We feel that high performing mutual funds will give us
high returns. It is not true at all with the above
examples of cricket players and the funds.
• Also, we never estimate the risk we can take. We
always feel that HIGH RISK means HIGH RETURN. But
forget the simple logic that HIGH RISK will not
GUARANTEE you HIGH RETURN. Instead, the high risk
may lead to a positive or negative return, which does
not mean HIGH RETURN.

9. MORAL
• Never chase the high performing funds. Along with
higher returns, how the fund generated that much high
return is also important. Remember one thing, give the
equal importance go goal as well as to the way of
reaching goal.
• Consistency is key rather than high performance
