It is not a mere formality to place on record the tireless efforts, ceaseless cooperation, constant guidance and encouragement of the people closely associated with the assignment but a distant necessity for the authenticity and credibility of the project. I am extremely grateful to my college guide, MR.AKHILESH SHARMA for their valuable guidance and timely suggestions. The management theories learnt in a year are brought to practice. I tried to make best use of this opportunity. The work bears the imprint of many persons. I am thankful to Mr. Rahul Bhatt (Assistant relationship manager of SBI Mutual Funds dehradun), for his valuable guidance and encouragement during the preparation of my summer Training Report. I am also thankful to all my faculty members.
PREFACE
Only Theoretical knowledge stands no where and cannot give positive and meaningful result unless supplement with the real practice of Business Environment. Summer training is the implementation of the theory in practice that makes real meaning to what exactly is management. The researcher was assigned to SBI mutual fund for summer training, which constitute an internal part of three years BBA program. The training period consists of 30days. It was really a great opportunity of getting practical insight into the corporate world. The researcher contacted directly to the customers in their home in Dehradun city to obtain relevant information. The company was interested to know to assess the customer acquisition and market position of the SBI mutual fund schemes in the Dehradun. After the analysis data, the main findings of this study and suggestion are presented in the report.
Executive summary
In few years Mutual fund has emerged as a tool for ensuring ones finance well being. Mutual funds have not only contributed to the India growth story but have also helped families tap into the success of India industry. As information and awareness is rising more and more people are enjoying the benefits of investing in Mutual fund. The main reason the number of retail Mutual fund investors remains small is that nine in ten people with income in India do not know that Mutual fund exist. But once people are aware of Mutual fund investors opportunity, the number who decides to invest in Mutual funds increase to as many as one in five people. The trick for converting a person with number knowledge of Mutual funds to a new Mutual fund customer is to understand which of the potential investors are more likely to buy Mutual funds and to use the right arguments in the sales process that customers will accept as important and relevant to their decision. This project gave me a great learning experience and at the same time it gave me enough scope to implement my analytical ability. The analysis and advice presented in this project report is based on invest practice of the investors and preferences of the investors for invest in Mutual funds. This report will help to know about the investors preference in Mutual fund means are they prefer any particular AMC, which type of product they prefer, which option (growth and dividend) they prefer or which investment strategy they follow(SIP or one time plan). This project a whole can be divided into two parts. The first part gives on insight of Mutual fund and it various aspects, the company profile, objective of the study, research methodology one can have a brief knowledge about Mutual fund and its basis through then project. In second part gives eISC package which is used by the SBI for their customer and broker in order to view their detail regarding client investment detail, date, and detail of broker. In this part SIP detail and their benefit is also given along with example. In third part finding which equity scheme is better for investment and gives highest return with minimum risk.

PROFILE OF SBI
State bank of India is the largest commercial bank. SBI has vast domestic network of over 9000 branches and commands one-fifth of deposits and loan of all scheduled commercial bank in India. State bank of India a network of eight banking subsidiaries and several non-banking services, fund management, credit cards, and insurance. The origin of state bank of India date back to 1806 when the bank of Calcutta was established. In 1921, Bank of Bengal and two other Banks i.e. Bank of Madras and Bank of Bombay were amalgamated to form the imperial Bank of India. Today, state Bank of India has spread its arms around the world and has a network of branches spanning all time zones.
Later in 1970 and 1980, UTI started innovating and offering different schemes to suit the needs of different classes of investors. Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) was launched in 1971. Six new schemes were introduced between 1981 and 1984. During 1984-87, new schemes like Childrens Gift Growth Fund (1986) and Master share (1987) are launched. Master share could be termed as the first diversified equity investment scheme in India. The first Indian offshore fund, Indian Fund, was launched in August 1986. During 1990s, UTI catered to the demand for income- oriented schemes, a somewhat unusual mutual fund product offering assured returns. The mutual fund industry in India not only started with UTI, but still counts UTI as its largest player with the largest corpus of investible funds among all mutual funds currently operating in India. Until 1980s, UTIs operations in the stock market often determined the direction of market movements.
investor servicing technology that make the Indian mutual industry today a vibrant and growing financial intermediary. During the year 1993-94, five private sector mutual funds launched their schemes followed by six others in 1994-1995. Initially, the mobilization of funds by the private mutual funds as slow. But, this segment of the fund industry now has been witnessing much greater investor confidence in them. One influencing factor has been the development of a SEBI driven regulatory framework for mutual funds. But another important factor has been the steadily improving performance of several funds themselves. Investors in India now clearly see the benefits of investing through mutual funds and have started becoming selective.

INTRODUCTION
.Mutual funds are popular among all income levels. With a mutual fund, we get a diversified basket of stocks managed by a professional
Barbara Stanny, author of Prince Charming Isnt Coming & How Women Get Smart About Money
A mutual fund is a company that brings together money from many people and invests it in stocks, bonds or other assets. The combined holdings of stocks, bonds or other assets the fund owns are known as its portfolio. Each investor in the fund owns shares, which represent a part of these holdings..
-The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
The income earned through these investments and capital appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus mutual funds 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.
Trustees appointed by the sponsor and oversee the functioning of AMC, Invest. In MFS are held by trustee.
AMC is the fund manager, it floats different MF Schemes, it manages the fund as SEBI Guidelines AMC agreement.
Custodian
Issues, redeems, transfer units of MF schemes, keeps unit holders accounts update.

* PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT Mutual Funds provide the services of experienced and skilled professionals, backed by a dedicated investment research team that analyses the performance and prospects of companies and selects suitable investments to achieve the objectives of the schemes.
* DIVERSIFIACTION Mutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross-section of industries and sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do all stocks decline at the same time and in the same proportion. You achieve this diversification through a Mutual fund with far less money than you can do on your own. * CONVENIENT ADMINISTRATION Investing in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps you avoid many problems such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and follow up with brokers and companies. Mutual Funds save your time and make investing easy and convenient. * RETURN POTENTIAL Over a medium to long-term, Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a higher return as they invest in a diversified basket of selected securities. * LOW COSTS Mutual Funds are a relatively less expensive way to invest compared to directly investing in the capital markets because the benefits of scale in brokerage, custodial and other fees translate into lower costs for investors. * LIQUIDITY In open-end schemes, the investors get the money back promptly at net asset value related prices from the Mutual Fund. In closed-end schemes, the units can be sold on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or the investors can avail of the facility of direct repurchase at NAV related prices by the Mutual Fund.
* FLEXIBILTY Through features such as regular investment plans, regular withdrawal plans and dividend reinvestment plans, you can systematically invest or withdraw funds according to your needs and convenience. * AFFORDABILITY Investors individually may lack sufficient funds to invest in high-grade stocks. A Mutual Fund because of its large corpus allows even a small investor to take the benefit of its investment strategy. * WELL REGULATED All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI and they function within the provisions of strict regulations designed to protect the interests of investors. The operations of Mutual Funds are regularly monitored by SEBI.
response to interest rates changes than short term securities do. Indian Debt markets can be volatile leading to the possibility of price movements up or down in the fixed income securities and thereby to the possible movements in the NAV. Liquidity or Marketable Risk This refers to the ease with which a security can be sold at near to its valuation yield to maturity. The primary measure of liquidity risk is the spread between the bid price and the offer price quoted by the dealer. Liquidity risk is inherent to the Indian Debt market. Credit Risk Credit risk or default risk refers to the risk that an issuer of fixed income security may default (i.e., will be unable to make timely principal and interest payments on the security). Because of this risk corporate debentures are sold at a yield above those offered on Government securities, which are sovereign obligations and free of credit risk. Normally the value of fixed income security will fluctuate depending upon the perceived level of credit risks well as the actual event of default. The greater the credit risk the greater the yield require for someone to be compensated for increased risk.
Investment made in unlisted equities or equity related securities might only be realizable upon the listing of the securities. Settlement problems could cause the scheme to miss certain investment opportunities

PAYOUT: Under the dividend plan dividend are usually declared on quarterly or annual basis. Mutual fund reserves the right to change the frequency of dividend declared.
REINVESTMENT OPTION: Instead of remittances of units through payouts, Units holder may choose to invest the entire dividend in additional units of the scheme at NAV related prices of the next working day after the record date. No sales or entry load is levied on dividend reinvest.
GROWTH OPTION : Under this plan returns accrue to the investor in the form of capital appreciation as reflected in the NAV. The scheme will not declare the dividend under the Growth plan and investors who opt for this plan will not receive any income from the scheme. Instead of income earned on their units will remain invested within the scheme and will be reflected in the NAV.
Magnum Multiplier Plus is an open-ended diversified equity fund and the investment objective of the scheme is to provide investors long term capital appreciation along with the liquidity of an open-ended scheme

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research problem: - While completing my thesis I find out that what the problems are.
They are as follows:-
Tax Consequences: - Lastly, mutual funds have a strange characteristic when it comes
to taxes. You could owe tax even if the value of your investment is going down! When a fund sells a stock for a profit whether its by design or forced it passes the tax bill on to you in the form of annual capital gains distribution. If your timing is bad, for example, you buy just before the fund makes its capital gains distribution or you buy during the year that the fund manager is taking a lot of profit, you could end up paying a very big tax bill for no good reason.
Sub-Optimal Purchases: - When investors buy shares of a mutual fund, the fund
manager must turn around and buy shares of stocks that fit within certain guideline specified by the prospectus. For example, if its a Small Value Fund, the manager cannot buy a Large Growth stock even if it represents a better buying opportunity. Additionally, if there are not enough good buying opportunities to choose from, the fund manager is forced to buy stocks that are less desirable.
Problem solution: - As I mentioned at the beginning, mutual funds make sense for some
investors under certain circumstances. However, there are occasions when you want to choose other alternatives. In my opinion, one of the best alternatives is Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Although you have to pay trade commissions, the expense ratio is much lower than an equivalent mutual fund. And due to how ETFs are created the remaining four problems are virtually eliminated. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:
Which one of the equity scheme is better for investment in order to get high return at low risk?
Evaluating performance and risk & return of different schemes in order to know which one of the equity scheme performing better.
To know how in what extent return value is affected during recession. On the basis of performance analysis of equity schemes suggest to investor which one of the equity scheme is better for investment?
Sources of Information
While collecting the data for my thesis I used two types of Sources:
Primary sources
The Primary data means that the data is collected by the person by himself. In this, data is collected directly from respondents using questionnaire, direct observation & interview techniques. So for this purpose I visited 50 people in the SBI bank. I Interviewed them and asked them various questions related to my thesis and try to find out the actual result.
Secondary sources
The secondary data is that type of data that is not collected by the actual person. This type of the data is already existed in the form of Internet, Research report, Journals, websites, books and also the pamphlets, and the broachers made by the company for their advertisement, etc.
Limitation: Some of the persons were not so responsive. Possibility of error in data collection because many of investors may have not given actual answers of my questionnaire. Sample size is limited to 35 visitors of State Bank of India, Rajpur Road Branch, Dehradun out of these only 31 had invested in Mutual Fund. The sample 32 S.B.I MUTAL FUND
size may not adequately represent the whole market. Some respondents were reluctant to divulge personal information which can affect the validity of all responses.
Summary
Mutual Funds over the years have gained immensely in their popularity. Apart from the many advantages that investing in mutual funds provide like diversification, professional management, the ease of investment process has proved to be a major enabling factor. However, with the introduction of innovative products, the world of mutual funds nowadays has a lot to offer to its investors. With the introduction of diverse options, investors needs to choose a mutual fund that meets his risk acceptance and his risk capacity levels and has similar investment objectives as the investor. Most importantly, mutual funds provide risk diversification. Diversification of a portfolio is amongst the primary tenets of portfolio structuring, and a necessary one to reduce the level of risk assumed by the portfolio holder. Most of us are not necessarily well qualified to apply the theories of portfolio structuring to our holdings and hence would be better off leaving that to a professional. Mutual funds represent one such option. Lastly, Evaluate past performance, look for stability and although past performance is no guarantee of future performance, it is a useful way to assess how well or badly a fund has performed in comparison to its stated objectives and peer group. A good way to do this would be to identify the five best performing funds (within your selected investment objectives) over various periods, say 3 months, 6 months, one year, two years and three years. Shortlist funds that appear in the top 5 in each of these time horizons as they would have thus demonstrated their ability to be not only good but also, consistent performers.
SIP and Lump Sum are the two techniques to invest in mutual funds. Any investor can
choose one out of them and can invest their money into mutual funds. SIP is Systematic Investment Plan which is very helpful to salaried and middle class man. They can invest their saving into Systematic Investment Plan and can collect huge funds for future. SIP is paid in monthly or quarterly as per the scheme. But lump sum is paid only one time and the whole transaction is based on this investing money. Opting SIP, an investor can invest their saving into it and can safe his money doing that. SIP is good because if it seems that market will goes down in few days so an investor can safely withdraw his money and can safe his money. 33 S.B.I MUTAL FUND
Objectives:
To evaluate investment performance of selected mutual funds in terms of risk and return. To evaluate and create an ideal portfolio consisting the best mutual fund schemes which will earn highest possible returns and will minimize the risk. To analyze the performance of mutual fund schemes on the basis of various parameter.
Recommendations:
Investment is the technique by which people save the money for future and increase their living standard. Many people who dont know and dont want to take more risk by investing in shares and securities therefore Mutual Funds are better instruments to save their money for future and provide them better return. SIP and Lump sum are two techniques to invest money in mutual fund. People should not confuse about them. Both are better themselves. When market is ups and down nature it is better to invest their money through SIP another reason for SIP is because it is monthly investment so when there are salaried person who want to invest money in mutual fund then SIP is good technique because they have limited saving thats why SIP is good for salaried persons. When I surveyed in the market there are many people who really dont know what actually mutual fund means is. I realized that there are many persons who dont invest money in mutual fund they only invest in insurance or fixed deposit. I will suggest here that there is need of more advertising through canopies which will help to those people who want to invest in mutual fund and will get more information through canopies. Some people prefer to invest a lump sum when they have the money available - perhaps from a bonus at work. The benefit is that you are less likely to spend the money on other things! However, if you do not have a lump sum, you don't have to save up until you have a large amount to invest. You can invest a relatively small amount every month that can build up into a worthwhile nest egg. If you set up a monthly savings plan, you will soon come to think of your regular payment as an essential part of your budget. What's more, you can benefit from a phenomenon known as "rupee cost averaging", no matter how markets are performing: If the market goes up, the units you already own will increase in value. If the market goes down, your next payment will buy more units.
Conclusions:
These two techniques are better themselves. People should consider before investing money in mutual fund and invest in good AMC. It doesnt matter that SIP or Lump Sum will give better return. It all depends on fund manager and AMC. SIP is a mean not an end. Investors would do well to realize that the SIP is means for achieving ones financial goal and not an end by itself. An investment in a poorly managed fund remains just that irrespective of the investment mode i.e. lump sum or SIP. Hence investors first select a well managed fund which has a track record to show for. Many AMC show result in their fact sheet which has good performance it doesnt mean that this mutual fund will perform in future. So investors should consider more on this point before investment. According to survey, 34% people say that Lump Sum is good technique for investment and on the other hand, 66% people say that they will chose SIP to invest in mutual fund. So trends say that SIP is good for investment purpose in mutual fund. But apart from that people also depend on the market and they take advices from some experts of this field. They invest what they want. Ive seen that people dont want to invest money monthly and they want to get rid of this kind of investment because they think that this type of investment can divert their mind from their business. Some people invest money through Lump Sum at once. So they can concentrate more their business or activities etc. So the outcomes of this survey is that people invest money in mutual fund by both techniques, SIP and Lump Sum but some time investor is in more profitable and some not its depends on market fluctuation.
Limitations:
There are some problems that I faced when I surveyed, I saw that people doesnt convinced easily to invest in mutual fund they have misperception that investing in mutual fund is like a gambling and some people says that investing in mutual fund is same as investing in share market. I surveyed this when share market was very down and day by day it was going down and down so people were hesitating to invest in mutual fund. These all things are happen when there is lack of proper advertising. People have good knowledge of insurance and other things than mutual fund. So first thing is that people should aware these all things they even dont know the terms and glossary.
How to invest in mutual funds? Investors can invest in mutual funds two ways:
- Yearly payment - SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) Yearly payment:
In such investor can invest desire amount at a one time in mutual fund scheme without follow installment payment system and on that day NAV is applicable on invested amount.
Indian Market is the most difficult task, almost an impossible one. The inability to time the market on a regular basis can leave an investor high and dry. However, ironically, the time in the market has historically shown more consistent success than timing the market. Though great returns from the market may not always be possible, stable and consistent returns are. And one of the best ways to get this return in this market of ours is the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) offered by the mutual funds. SIP is a powerful tool with a strategy of not only preserving capital but also translating into substantial creation of wealth in the long run. Under this plan Investors invest a specific amount for a continuous period, at regular intervals. By doing this, the investor get the advantage of rupee cost averaging. Which means that by investing the same amount at regular intervals, the average cost per unit remains lower than the average market price, irrespective of how the market is rising, falling or fluctuating .i.e. with every fluctuation in the market the units are purchased systematically, thus resulting in averaging the purchase price? Whereas this is not true for a one- time investment. This is the reason why a SIP investors gets phenomenal rate of return compared to a one- time investor. Features of a Systematic Investment Plan 1. To get a disciplined investment. 2. To create value/wealth. 3. To avoid short-term fluctuations in the market. 4. Avoid risk of timing the market.
For Example: Let us suppose that a person invests Rs. 1,000 every month, in an equity fund using the SIP. The following table shows how investment would look in the two scenarios of fluctuating and rising market

In the seven years spanning 1996 to 2002, the fund underperformed the category average every single year (category average 219%). However from 2003 onwards, it has been on highest. After an excellent performance that year, it was the best that year, it was the best performing fund in its category till 2006. But in 2007 its performance goes down and in meltdown of 2008, it performance is very poor. Firm broadened its portfolio because of this fund performance is improved. In the bear hug of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. Its conservative tilt may appeal to investors looking for a tax saving avenue in turbulent market conditions.

CONCLUSION
1. Not so long ago a common investor when asked about investing would have pointed out to the Fixed Deposits that he holds with the bank, the deposits with the Post Office, the Government Bonds that he has invested in, and the basket of shares (if any) that he holds in his kitty. He was not aware of the alternate route to investment, that of Mutual Funds. Slowly and gradually with the opening up of international borders and privatization, people are getting informed about other avenues of investment, be it Mutual Funds or Insurance. 2. Gradually people in Indian are getting educated about Mutual Funds through the interplay of the AMCs and the Banks. Every day we see new forays into the mutual fund industry with the introduction of new schemes and the entry of new players. The investors are getting informed by the day. The present generation is though open to the idea of investing in a mutual fund, since they are very much aware of the global scenario. And its good to see the service class coming up with the investments. Thanks to the Systematic Investment Plans. India is observing this transition and very soon our investors would be displaying better investment habits than they had previously. 3. And as far as SBI MF is concerned the AMC is facing tough competition from the market. Especially from its nearest competitor Reliance. The strong point the company is enjoying is the good reputation and a well known brand in the minds of the investors. But the company needs to plan for the future in order to be ahead of its close competitors.
Suggestions
1) Better services SBI MF should lay emphasis on providing better services to the investors. Especially services with regard to dispatch of statements and repayment in case of repurchase should not be delayed. Any information with regard to changes in Mutual Fund investment should be properly and promptly communicated to the investors. The employees of the company also need to personally meet and follow up the private banks and nationalized brokers in order to speed up the turnover of the SBI MF and maintain long term relations with the brokers and agents. 2) Increasing awareness about Mutual Fund The organization should increase knowledge about Mutual fund among people through organizing various kinds of awareness programs and promotional activities. SBI MF can use its wide network for educating people about Mutual Fund. 3) Promotional activities SBI MF should undertake a planned promotional program on a wide scale to reach the potential investors and to induce them to invest in Mutual Fund. It should increase the advertisement about its various Mutual Fund schemes and their benefits through TV channels, Radio and hoardings etc. It would help the organization in attracting more investments. Moreover the company needs to supply these promotional material to different distributors on time. 4) Ensuring attractive return through continuous search for low risk and better Investment Avenue The organization should ensure attractive return to its investors through continuous search for low risk and better investment avenue. This can be achieved through appointment of qualified and experienced Fund Managers.
