BSE:-
At the end of the American civil war, the brokers who thrived out of this war in 1874,
found a place in a street, where they would easily assemble and transact business. This
street is nowadays, popularly known as DALAL STREET. In 1887, they formally
established in Bombay, and were known as “Native Shares and Stock Brokers
Association”. In 1895, it acquired a premise in the same street and finally was
inaugurated in 1899 with the name Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
India's premier stock exchange Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) can also trace back its
origin to as far as 125 years when it started as a voluntary non-profit making
association. You hear about it any time it reaches a new high or a new low, and you
also hear about it daily in statements like 'The BSE Sensitive Index rose 5% today'.
Obviously, stocks and stock markets are important.
Stocks of public limited companies are bought and sold at a stock exchange. But what
really are stock exchanges? Known also as News on the stock market appears in
different media every day. The stock market , a stock exchange is an organized
marketplace for securities (like stocks, bonds, options) featured by the centralization of
supply and demand for the transaction of orders by member brokers, for institutional
and individual investors. The exchange makes buying and selling easy. The need for
India's other major stock exchange National Stock Exchange (NSE), promoted by
leading financial institutions, and was established in April 1993. Over the years,
several stock exchanges have been established in the major cities of India.There
are now 23 recognized stock exchanges — Mumbai (BSE, NSE and OTC), Calcutta
delhi, Chennai, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Coimbatore, Guwahati
, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Patna, Pune, Rajkot
, Vadodara, Indore and Meerut.
NSE: -
With the liberalization of Indian economy it was found necessary to lift the Indian
stock markets on par with the international standards. The NSE was incorporated in
1992 by industrial development bank of India, industrial credit and Investment
Corporation of India, industrial finance corporation of India, all insurance
corporations, selected commercial banks and others.
NSE is India’s leading stock exchange covering more than 160 cities and towns across
the country. It provides the modern fully computerized trading system designed to
offer investors across the country a safe and easy way to invest to liquidate investment
and securities. Investors in many areas of country did not have the same access and
opportunity to trade so there arise the need for setting up the national stock exchange.
The NSE network has been designed to provide equal access to investors from
anywhere in India and to be responsive to their needs.

Mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common
financial goal. This pool of money is invested in accordance with a stated objective. The
joint ownership of the fund is thus “Mutual”, i.e. the fund belongs to all investors. 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 appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion 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. A Mutual Fund is an investment tool that allows small
investors access to a well-diversified portfolio of equities, bonds and other securities. Each
shareholder participates in the gain or loss of the fund. Units are issued and can be
redeemed as needed. The funds Net Asset value (NAV) is determined each day.
Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors
and thus the risk is reduced. 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 unit holders.

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. Though the growth was
slow, but it accelerated from the year 1987 when non-UTI players entered the Industry.
In the past decade, Indian mutual fund industry had seen a dramatic improvement, both
qualities wise as well as quantity wise. Before, the monopoly of the market had seen an
ending phase; the Assets Under Management (AUM) was Rs67 billion. The private sector
entry to the fund family raised the Aum to Rs. 470 billion in March 1993 and till April
2004; it reached the height if Rs. 1540 billion.
The Mutual Fund Industry is obviously growing at a tremendous space with the mutual
fund industry can be broadly put into four phases according to the development of the
sector. Each phase is briefly described as under.
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament by the Reserve
Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the
Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial
Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in
place of RBI. 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.
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 followed by Canbank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund
(Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda
Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up
its mutual fund in December 1990.At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets
under management of Rs.47,004 crores.
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. The erstwhile
Kothari Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual
fund registered in July 1993.
The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and
revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI
(Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996. As at the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual
funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores.
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was
bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of
India with assets under management of Rs.29,835 crores as at the end of January 2003,
representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured return and certain other schemes
The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is
registered with SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. consolidation and
growth. As at the end of September, 2004, there were 29 funds, which manage assets of
Rs.153108 crores under 421 schemes.
Open-ended funds: Investors can buy and sell the units from the fund, at any point
of time.
Close-ended funds: These funds raise money from investors only once. Therefore,
after the offer period, fresh investments can not be made into the fund. If the fund is
listed on a stocks exchange the units can be traded like stocks (E.g., Morgan Stanley
Growth Fund). Recently, most of the New Fund Offers of close-ended funds
provided liquidity window on a periodic basis such as monthly or weekly.
Redemption of units can be made during specified intervals. Therefore, such funds
have relatively low liquidity.
Equity funds: These funds invest in equities and equity related instruments. With
fluctuating share prices, such funds show volatile performance, even losses.
However, short term fluctuations in the market, generally smoothens out in the long
term, thereby offering higher returns at relatively lower volatility. At the same time,
such funds can yield great capital appreciation as, historically, equities have
outperformed all asset classes in the long term. Hence, investment in equity funds
should be considered for a period of at least 3-5 years.
1. Index funds- In this case a key stock market index, like BSE Sensex or Nifty is
tracked. Their portfolio mirrors the benchmark index both in terms of composition
3. Dividend yield funds- it is similar to the equity diversified funds except that they
invest in companies offering high dividend yields.
4. Thematic funds- Invest 100% of the assets in sectors which are related through
some theme.
e.g. -An infrastructure fund invests in power, construction, cements sectors etc.
5. Sector funds- Invest 100% of the capital in a specific sector. e.g. - A banking sector
fund will invest in banking stocks.
6. ELSS- Equity Linked Saving Scheme provides tax benefit to the investors.
Balanced fund:
Their investment portfolio includes both debt and equity. As a result, on the risk-return
ladder, they fall between equity and debt funds. Balanced funds are the ideal mutual funds
vehicle for investors who prefer spreading their risk across various instruments. Following
are balanced funds classes:
Debt fund:
They invest only in debt instruments, and are a good option for investors averse to
idea of taking risk associated with equities. Therefore, they invest exclusively in
fixed-income instruments like bonds, debentures, Government of India securities;
and money market instruments such as certificates of deposit (CD), commercial
paper (CP) and call money. Put your money into any of these debt funds depending
on your investment horizon and needs.
2. Gilt funds ST- They invest 100% of their portfolio in government securities of and
T-bills.
3. Floating rate funds - Invest in short-term debt papers. Floaters invest in debt
instruments which have variable coupon rate.
4. Arbitrage fund- They generate income through arbitrage opportunities due to mis-
pricing between cash market and derivatives market. Funds are allocated to equities,
derivatives and money markets. Higher proportion (around 75%) is put in money
markets, in the absence of arbitrage opportunities.
5. Gilt funds LT- They invest 100% of their portfolio in long-term government
securities.
6. Income funds LT- Typically, such funds invest a major portion of the portfolio in
long-term debt papers.
8. FMPs- fixed monthly plans invest in debt papers whose maturity is in line with that
of the fund.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES:
1. Systematic Investment Plan: under this a fixed sum is invested each month on a
fixed date of a month. Payment is made through post dated cheques or direct debit
facilities. The investor gets fewer units when the NAV is high and more units when
the NAV is low. This is called as the benefit of Rupee Cost Averaging (RCA)
2. Systematic Transfer Plan: under this an investor invest in debt oriented fund and
give instructions to transfer a fixed sum, at a fixed interval, to an equity scheme of
the same mutual fund.
Most individuals buy mutual funds for long-term goals, especially retirement. It is
estimated that retirees will need 70 to 80 percent of their final, pre-tax income to maintain a
comfortable lifestyle in retirement. If you plan to retire at age 65, retirement savings should
last for at least 18.5 years, since the average life expectancy for a 65-year-old is 83.5,and
Many parents and grandparents use mutual funds to invest for children’s college
educations. Your time horizon is an essential consideration when investing for education: if
you start when the child is born, you have 18 years to invest. However, if a child or
grandchild is in your future, the time horizon can be lengthened by investing now.
Emergency reserves are assets you may need unexpectedly on short notice. Many investors
use money market funds for their reserves. Money market funds alone, or in combination
with short-term bond funds, can also be appropriate investments for other short-term goa
The important thing is to choose the right mutual fund scheme, which suits your
requirements. The offer document of the scheme tells you its objectives and provides
Investing in just one Mutual Fund scheme may not meet all your investment needs. You
may consider investing in a combination of schemes to achieve your specific goals.
The best approach is to invest a fixed amount at specific intervals, say every month. By
investing a fixed sum each month, you buy fewer units when the price is higher and more
units when the price is low, thus bringing down your average cost per unit. This is called
rupee cost averaging and do investors all over the world follow a disciplined investment
strategy. You can also avail the systematic investment plan facility offered by many open-
end funds.
It is desirable to start investing early and stick to a regular investment plan. If you start
now, you will make more than if you wait and invest later. The power of compounding lets
you earn income on income and your money multiplies at a compounded rate of return.
4. To assist the community at large in deciding which investment provides best return
considering various points at a time.
5. To study the performance of selected mutual fund companies and equity companies
and their performance in 1 year.
7. To know why one has invested or not invested in between Sharekhan Ltd. and Angel
Broking Ltd.
