L. INTRODUCTION
Mutual funds are in the form of Trust (usually called Asset Management
Company) that manages the pool of money collected from various investors for
investment in various classes’ assets to achieve certain financial goals. We
can say that Mutual Fund is trusts which pool the savings of large number of
investors and then reinvests those funds for earning profits and then distribute
the dividend among the investors. In return for such services, Asset
Management Companies charge small fees. Every Mutual Fund / launches
different schemes, each with a specific objective. Investors who share the same
objectives invest particular Scheme. Each Mutual Fund, Scheme is managed
by a Fund Manager the help of his team of professionals (One Fund Manage
may be managing more than one scheme also).

can get from fixed deposits of a bank etc.

Banking Profile
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing
through a relative period of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since
the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial and other infrastructure had
improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which served particular
ethnic and religious communities.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 11
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
The presidency banks dominated banking in India but there were also some
exchange banks and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks
operated in different segments of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly
owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign trade. Indian joint
stock banks were generally undercapitalized and lacked the experience and
maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This
segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we
are behind the- times.” are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by
solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments.
The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by
the Swadeshi movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen
and political figures to, found banks of and for the Indian community. A
number of banks established then have survived to the present such as Bank of
India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and
Central Bank of India. The fervour of Swadeshi movement lead to establishing
of many" private banks in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district which were
unified earlier and known by the name South Canara ( South Kanara) district.
Four nationalised banks started in this district and also a leading private sector
bank. Hence undivided Dakshina Kannada district is known as "Cradle of
Indian Banking".
2.2 POST-INDEPENDENCE
The partition of India in 1947 adversely impacted the economies of Punjab and
West Bengal, paralyzing banking activities for months. India's independence
marked the end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The
Government of India initiated measures to play an active role in the economic
life of the nation, and the Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by the

2.3 NATIONALISATION
By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry had become an important tool to
facilitate the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it had
emerged as a large employer, and a debate had ensued about the possibility to
nationalise the banking industry Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of
India expressed the intention of the GOI in the' annual conference of the All
India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank
Nationalisation." The paper was received, with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter,
her move was swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 13
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of
July 19, 1969. Jayaprakash Narayan, a national leader of India, described the
step as a “masterstroke of political sagacity."'Within two weeks of the issue of
the ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies (Acquisition and
Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on 9
August, 1969.
A second “dose of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks followed in
1980. The stated reason for the nationalization was to give the government
more control of credit delivery. With the second dose of nationalization, the
GOI controlled around of the banking business for India. Later on, in the year
1993, the government merged New Bank of India with Punjab National Bank.
It was the only merger between nationalized banks and resulted in the
reduction of the number of nationalised banks from 20 to 19. After this, until
the 1990s, the nationalized banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to the
average growthrate of the Indian economy.
2.4 LIBERALISATION
In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalization, licensing a small number of. private banks. These came to be
known as New Generation tech savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank
(the first of such new generation banks to be setup, which later amalgamated
with Oriental Bank of Commerce, Axis Bank(earlier' as UTI Bank), ICICI
Bank and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in the economy
of India, revitalized the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth
with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely,
government banks, private banks and
foreign banks.

2.5 TECHNOLOGY
In the five 'decades since independence, banking in India has evolved through
four distinct phases. During Fourth phase, also called as Reform Phase,
Recommendations of the Narasimham Committee (1991) paved the way for the
reform phase in the banking. Important initiatives with regard to the reform of
the banking system were taken in this phase. Important among these have been
introduction of new accounting and prudential norms relating to income
recognition, provisioning and capital adequacy, deregulation of interest rates &
easing of norms for entry in the field of banking.
Entry of new banks resulted in a paradigm shift in the ways of banking in
India. The growing competition, growing expectations led to increased
awareness amongst banks on the role and importance-of technology in
banking. The arrival of foreign and private banks with their superior state-of-
the-art technology-based services pushed Indian Banks also to follow suit by
going in for the latest technologies so as to meet the threat of competition and
retain their customer base.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 15

In view of this, technology has changed the contours of three major functions
performed by banks, i.e., access to liquidity, transformation of assets and
monitoring' of risks. Further, Information technology and the communication
networking systems have a crucial bearing on the efficiency of money, capital
and foreign exchange markets.
The Software Packages for Banking Applications in India had their beginnings
in the middle of 80s, when the Banks started computerising the branches in a
limited manner. The early 90s saw the plummeting hardware prices and advent
of cheap and inexpensive but high-powered PCs and servers and went in for
what was called Total Branch Automation (TBA) Packages. The middle late
90st witnessed the tornado of financial reforms, deregulation, globalization etc
coupled with rapid revolution in communication technologies and evolution of
novel concept of 'convergence' of computer and communication technologies,
like Internet, mobile / cell phones etc.
The banking sector has witnessed wide ranging changes under the influence of
the financial Sector reforms initiated during 2008. The approach to such
reforms in India has been one of gradual and non-disruptive progress through a
consultative process. The emphasis has been on deregulation and opening up
the banking sector to market forces. The Reserve Bank has been consistently
working towards the establishment of an enabling regulatory framework with
prompt and effective supervision as well as the development of technological
and institutional infrastructure. Persistent efforts have been made towards
adoption of international benchmarks as appropriate to Indian conditions.
While certain changes in the legal infrastructure are yet to be effected, the
developments so far have brought the Indian financial system closer to global
standards.

INTRODUCTION
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors
who have 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.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 34
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
It simply means that spread investment across different securities. This kind of
a diversification may add to the stability of returns, for example during one
period of time equities might underperform but bonds and money market
instruments might do well enough to offset the effect of a slump in the equity
markets. Similarly the information technology sector might be faring poorly
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 35
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
but the auto and textile sectors might do well and may protect your principal
investment as well as help you meet your return objectives.
Variety
Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This variety is beneficial
in two ways: first, it offers different types of schemes to investors with
different needs and risk appetites; secondly, it offers an opportunity to an
investor to invest sums across a variety of schemes, both debt and equity. For
example, an investor can invest his money in a Growth Fund (equity scheme)
and Income Fund (debt scheme) depending on his risk appetite and thus create
a balanced portfolio easily or simply just buy a Balanced Scheme.
Professional Management
Qualified investment professionals who seek to maximize returns and
minimize risk monitor investor's money. When investors would like to invest
their money in to a mutual fund, they are handing their money to an investment
professional who has experience in making investment decisions. It is the Fund
Manager's job to (a) find the best securities for the fund, given the fund's stated
investment objectives; and (b) keep track of investments and changes in market
conditions and adjust the mix of the portfolio, as and when required.
Tax Benefits
Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the
assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit
holders of open-ended equity-oriented funds, income distributions for the year
ending March 31, 2003, will be taxed at a confessional rate of 10.5%.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 36
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
Regulations
Securities Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), the mutual funds regulator has
clearly defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules relate to the
formation, administration and management of mutual funds and also prescribe
disclosure and accounting requirements. Such a high level of regulation seeks
to protect the interest of investors.
Liquidity
In open-ended mutual funds, investor can redeem all or part of his units any
time he wish. Some schemes do have a lock-in period where an investor cannot
return the units until the completion of such a lock-in period.
Convenience
An investor can purchase or sell fund units directly from a fund, through a
broker or a financial planner. The investor may opt for a Systematic Investment
Plan (“SIP”) or a Systematic Withdrawal Advantage Plan (“SWAP”). In
addition to this an investor receives account statements and portfolios of the
schemes.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 37
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
Flexibility
Mutual Funds offering multiple schemes allow investors to switch easily
between various schemes. This flexibility gives the investor a convenient way
to change the mix of his portfolio over time.
Transparency
Open-ended mutual funds disclose their Net Asset Value (“NAV”) daily and
the entire portfolio monthly. This level of transparency, where the investor
himself sees the underlying assets bought with his money, is unmatched by any
other financial instrument. Thus the investor is in the knowledge of the quality
of the portfolio and can invest further or redeem depending on the kind of the
portfolio that has been constructed by the investment manager.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 38
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
Taxes
During a typical year, most actively managed mutual funds sell anywhere from
20 to 70 percent of the securities in their portfolios. Fund makes a profit on its
sales, will pay taxes on the income they receive, even reinvest the money can
be done.
Management Risk
When invest in a mutual fund, investors depend on the fund's manager to
make the right decisions regarding the fund's portfolio. If the fund manager
does not perform as well as expected they might not make as much money on
their investment as expected. Of course, if they invest in Index Funds, they
forego management risk, because these funds do not employ managers. Mutual
Fund industry is required to address this problem, as we believe that bigger
the size of asset, bigger is the problem. Large funds end up paying more for the
stock they purchase and sell them at a lower price thus reducing the returns to
the investors.

proceeds are distributed to the various units’ holders in proportion to their
holding. Thus, the fund ceases to be a fund, after the final distribution.

Mutual Fund In Canara Bank

members on a periodical basis. It concentrates more on the distribution of
regular income and it also sees that the average return is higher than that of the
income from bank deposits.
Features:

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 50
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
Features
The growth oriented fund aims at meeting the investors need for capital
appreciation.
The investment strategy conforms to the fund objective by investing the fund
the predominantly on equities with high growth potential
The fund tries to get capital appreciation by taking much risks and investing on
risk bearing equities and high growth equity shares.

appreciation.
This is best suited to salary and business people who have high risk bearing
capacity and ability to differ liquidity. They can accumulate wealth for future
needs.
BALANCED FUND:
It is nothing but a combination of both income and growth funds. It aims at
distributing regular income as well as capital appreciation. This is achieved by
balancing the investments between the high growth equity shares and also the
fixed income earning securities.
SPECIALISED FUNDS:
A large number of specialized funds are in existence aboard. They offer special
scheme needs specific needs of specific categories of people like pensioners,
windows etc. There are also funds for investments in securities of specified
area. Like Japan fund, south Korea fund etc. these security funds open the door
for foreign investors to invest on the domestic securities of the countries. Funds

ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 51
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank

prefer this type of fund
TAXATION FUNDS
A taxation fund is basically a growth oriented fund. But, it offers tax rebates to
the investors either in the domestic or foreign capital market. It is suitable to
salaried people who wants enjoy the rebates particularly during the month of
February and March. In India, at present the law relating to tax rebates is
covered under sec.88 of the income tax act, 1961. An investor is entitled to get

SBI capital market limited is the best example for the domestic type. UTI`s us
$60 million India fund, based in the USA, is an example for the foreign type.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 52
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
LEVERAGE FUND
These funds are also called borrower funds since they are used primarily to
increase the size of the value of portfolio of a mutual fund. When the value
increases, the earning capacity of the fund also increases. The gains are

borrowed funds are more than the cost of borrowed funds.
DUAL FUNDS

opportunity for two different types of investors for this purpose, it sells two
types of investment stocks they are income shares and capital shares. Those
investors who seek current investment income can purchase income shares.
They receive all the interest and dividend earned from the entire investment
portfolio. However, they are guaranteed a minimum annual dividend payment.
The holders of capital shares receive all the capital gains earned on those
shares and they are not entitled to receive any dividend of any type. In this
respect, the dual is different from a balance fund.
INDEX FUNDS
Index funds refer to those funds where the portfolios are designed in such a
way that they reflect the composition of some broad based market index. This
is done by holding securities in proportion as the index itself. The value of
these index linked fund will automatically go up whenever the market index
goes up and vice versa. Since the construction of portfolio is entirely based
upon maintaining proper proportion of the index being followed, it involves
less administration expenses, lower transaction costs, less number of portfolio

Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
managers etc. it is so because only fewer purchase and sale of securities would
take place.
BOND FUNDS
These funds have portfolios consisting mainly of fixed income securities like
bonds. The main thrust of these funds is mostly on income rather than capital
gains. They differ from income funds in the sense income funds offer an
average returns higher than that from bank deposits and also capital gains
lesser than that in equity shares.
PROPERTY FUND

manages and sells real estate assets. Its investment also includes shares/bonds
of companies involved in real estate and mortgage backed companies.
FUND OF FUNDS
A fund of fund schemes is a mutual fund scheme that invests in other mutual
fund schemes. The concept is widely prevalent aboard. Mutual funds in India
are being allowed to launch fund of funds.
In India, these funds are subject to the approval of the department of economic
affairs, ministry of finance and the RBI monitors such funds by issuing
directions then and there. In India, a number of shore funds exist. `India fund `
and `Indian growth fund` were floated by UTI in U.K and U.S.A. respectively.
Under this plan, dividends declared by a fund are reinvested on behalf of the
investor, thus increasing the number of units held by the investors.

Spreading Risk:
An investor with limited funds might be able to invest in only one or two
stocks/bonds, thus increasing his or her risk. However, a mutual fund will
spread its risk by investing a number of sound stocks or bonds. A fund
normally invests in companies across a wide range of industries, so the risk is
diversified.
Transparency:
Mutual Funds regularly provide investors within formation on the value of
their investments. Mutual Funds also provide complete portfolio disclosure of
the investments made by various schemes and also the proportion invested in
each asset type.
Choice:
The large amount of Mutual Funds offer the investor a wide variety to choose
from. An investor can pick up a scheme depending upon his risk/ return profile.

There are certain risks associated with every kind of investment on shares.
They are called market risks. These market risks can be reduced, but can not be
completely eliminated even by a good investment management. The prices of
shares are subject to wide price fluctuations depending upon market conditions
over which nobody has a control. Moreover, every economy has to pass
through a cycle- boom, recession, slump and control. The phase of the business
cycle affects the market condition to a larger extent.
SCHEME RISKS:
There are certain risks inherent in the scheme itself. It all depends upon the
nature of the scheme. For instance, in a pure growth scheme, risks are greater.
It is obvious because if one expects more returns as in the case of growth
scheme, one has to take more risks.
INVESTMENT RISKS:
Whether the mutual fund makes money in share or loses depends upon the
investment expertise of the Asset management company (AMC), the
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 58
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
investment goes wrong, the fund has to suffer a lot. The investment expertise
of various funds are different and it is reflected on the returns which they offer
to investors.
BUSINESS RISKS:
The corpus of mutual fund might have been invested in a company’s shares. If
the business of that company suffers any set back, it cannot declare any
dividend. It may even go to the extent of winding up its business. Though the
mutual fund can withstand such a risk, its income paying capacity is affected.
POLITICAL RISKS:
Successive government bring with them fancy new economic ideologies and
policies. It is often said that many economic decisions are politically
motivated, changes in government brings in risks of uncertainty which every
player in the financial service industry has to face. So mutual funds are no
exception to it.
INVESTORS RIGHTS:
The SEBI (MF) Regulations, 1993 contains specific provisions with regard s to
investor servicing. Certain rights have been guaranteed to the investors as per
the above Regulations. They are as follows
UNIT CERTIFICATE
An investor has a right to receive his unit certificates on allotment within a
period of 10 weeks from the date of closure of subscription lists in the case of a
close ended scheme and 6 weeks from the date of closure of the initial offer in
the case of an open ended scheme.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 59
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
TRANSFER OF UNITS
An investor is entitled to get the units certificate transferred within a period of
30 days from the date of lodgment of the certificates along with the relevant
transfer forms.
SELECTION OF FUND
Mutual funds are not magic institutions which can bring treasure to the million
of their Investors within a short span of time. All funds are equal to start with.
But in due course Of time, some excel the other. It all depends upon the
efficiency with which the fund is being managed by the professionals of the
fund. Hence, the investor has to be very careful in selecting a fund. He must
take into account the following factors for evaluating the performance of any
fund and then finally decide one he has to choose.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 60
Mutual Fund In Canara Bank
OBJECTIVES OF FUND
He must see the objectives of the fund –whether income oriented or growth
oriented.
Income oriented are backed mainly by fixed by interests yielding securities like
debentures and bonds where as growth oriented are backed by equities. It is
obvious that
Growth oriented schemes are more risky than income oriented schemes, and
hence, the returns from such schemes are not comparable with each other. The
investor should compare the particular scheme of one fund with the same
scheme of another fund the objective of the scheme which he purpose to
choose
CONSISTANCY OF PERFORMANCE
A mutual fund is always intended to give steady long term returns, and hence,
the investor should measures the performance of a fund over a period of at least
three years. Investors are satisfied with a fund that shows a steady and
consistence performance than a fund which performs superbly in one year and
other than the next year. Consistency in performance is a good indicator of its
investment expertise.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The success of any fund depends upon the competence of the management, its
integrity, periodicity and experience. The funds integrity should be suspicion.
A good historical record could be better horse to bet on the new funds. It is in
accordance with the maxim “a know devil is better than an unknown angel”.
ATNCC, SHIVAMOGGA 61

COST OF OPERATION
Mutual funds seek to do a better job of the invisible funds at a lower cost than
the individuals could for their themselves. Hence, the prospective investor
should scrutinize the expense ratio of the fund and compare it with others.
Higher the ratio, lower will be the actual returns to investor.
INVESTOR SERVICING
The most important factor to be considered is prompted and efficient servicing.
Service like quite response to investor queries, prompt dispatch of unit
certificate, quick transfer of units etc. will go long way in creating a lasting
impression in the minds of investors.
MARKET TRENDS
Traditionally it has been found that the stock market index and the inflation
rate tend to move in the same direction where as the interest rates and the stock
market index tend to move in the opposite direction. This sets the time for the
investor to enter into the fund and come out of it. A prudent investor must keep
his eyes on the stock market index, interest rate and the inflation rate. Of
course, there is no scientific reasoning behind it.

SUGGESTIONS
Company should try to give more value added services to its investors.
Only equity schemes have been popular. So company should popularize
other schemes.
As investors are more concerned about safety, more transparency should be
there as far as investment of fund in other companies by the company.
Company should make sure that the investment of investors is risk free.

CONCLUSION
Positive investor perception is the ultimate for any mutual fund. Canara
bank is leading in this area. As more and more private mutual funds are
entering in to the industry. So company need to concentrate on its core
activities to improve the customer’s perception. Unless and until the company
provides an innovative scheme to it’s the customers, positive perception won’t
develop.
Mutual Fund is not new to India; it is there from the past 4 decades.
Only from past one decade after the entry of private Mutual Fund and Foreign
(sponsored) Mutual Funds, the competition and innovation took place in the
Indian Mutual Fund Industry in a rather short period, has grown from infancy
to adolescence.
