EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project is completely based on market research of paint. Under this
research, we have taken 100 sample sizes of which 100 questionnaires
belong to 6 companies like Karvy, UTI, Birl, Birla, HDFC, Reliance, ICICI
Pru. We have taken only one brand mutual fund of these 6 Companies.
In spite of research we have analyzed the brand (mutual fund) in
numerical nature. On the basis of that we have assessed the strong
brand and weak brand out of five brands. Then after we have
formulated the strategy of each brand in which we have told about
grabbing the market on the basis of:-
Quality product rendered to customer.
To attain customer satisfaction
To reduce the price of brand so sales can be boost up.
To advertise their product which is socially accepted?
To advertise their product through prominent celebrity.

INTRODUCTION
MUTUAL FUND
A Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with SEBI (Securities
Exchange Board of India) that pools money from individuals/corporate
investors and invests the same in a variety of different financial
instruments or securities such as equity shares, Government securities,
Bonds, debentures etc.Mutual funds can thus be considered as financial
intermediaries in the investment business that collect funds from the
public and invest on behalf of the investors. Mutual funds issue units to
the investors.The appreciation of the portfolio or securities in which the
mutual fund has invested the money leads to an appreciation in the value
of the units held by investors.The investment objectives outlined by a
Mutual Fund in its prospectus are binding on the Mutual Fund scheme.
The investment objectives specify the class of securities a Mutual Fund
can invest in. Mutual Funds invest in various asset classes like equity,
bonds, debentures, commercial paper and government securities. The
schemes offered by mutual funds vary from fund to fund. Some are pure
equity schemes; others are a mix of equity and bonds. Investors are also

given the option of getting dividends, which are declared periodically by
the mutual fund, or to participate only in the capital appreciation of the
scheme.
Evolution of Mutual Fund
The first investment trust (now called mutual fund) began in the Netherlands
in the early 1800s. The first in the U.S. was the New York Stock Trust,
which started in 1889. Since Boston was the economic center of the nation
until the turn of the century, the majority of funds started thereFidelity,
Pioneer and Putnum Fund, to name a few. A fund that was comprised of
both stocks and bonds (the Wellington Fund) started in 1928 and is still part
of Vanguard. As the 20's crashed to a close, there were 10 mutual funds in
the nation.
The Sixties saw the growth in aggressive (high risk) funds that were labeled,
in the vernacular of the times, "hot-shot" or "go-go" funds. They were sexy
and fast, there were a hundred of them by the late Sixties and a lot of
people dumped a lot of money in them until the bearish times of 1969
freaked everybody out: investors yanked out their money and have been
7

kicking themselves ever since, because some funds increased in value by
more than 9,000%.
Until this time, people had been paying sales commissions on their funds. In
the '70s, no-load funds were invented, and the biggest today. Vanguard
Funds, wasfounded in 1977. At the end of the Sixties, there were nearly 250
different mutual funds;today, they number over 6,000. But here's the thing:
the last time a mutual fund went bankrupt was 1940. And mutual funds often
outperform the stock market.
Benefits involved in investing Mutual Fund
There are several benefits from investing in a Mutual Fund:
Small investments
Mutual funds help you to reap the benefit of returns by a portfolio spread
across a wide spectrum of companies with small investments.
Professional Fund Management
Professionals having considerable expertise, experience and resources
manage the pool ofmoney collected by a mutual fund. They thoroughly
analyse themarkets and economy to pick good investment opportunities.

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 with information 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.
Regulations
All the mutual funds are registered with SEBI and theyfunction within the
provisions of strict regulation designed to protect the interests of the
investor.

TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual funds are classified in the following manner:
(a) On the basis of Objective
Equity Funds/ Growth Funds
Funds that invest in equity shares are called equity funds. They carry the
principal objective of capital appreciation of the investment over the
medium to long-term. They are best suited for investors who are seeking
capital appreciation. There are different types of equity funds such as
Diversified funds, Sector specific funds and Index based funds.
Diversified funds
These funds invest in companies spread across sectors. These funds
are generally meant for risk-averse investors who want a diversified
portfolio across sectors.
Sector funds
These funds invest primarily in equity shares of companies in a
particular business sector or industry. These funds are targeted at
investors who are bullish or fancy the prospects of
a particular sector.
12

13/141
Index funds
These funds invest in the same pattern as popular market indices like
S&P CNX Nifty or CNX Midcap 200. The money collected from the
investors is invested only in the stocks, which represent the index. For
e.g. a Nifty index fund will invest only in the Nifty 50 stocks.
The objective of such funds is not to beat the market but to give a return
equivalent to the market returns.
Tax Saving Funds
These funds offer tax benefits to investors under the Income Tax Act.
Opportunities provided under this scheme are in the form of tax rebates
under the Income Tax act.
Debt/Income Funds
These funds invest predominantly in high-rated fixed-income-bearing
instruments like bonds, debentures, government securities, commercial
paper and other money market instruments. They are best suited for the
medium to long-term investors who are averse to risk and seek capital
preservation. They provide a regular income to the investor.
Liquid Funds/Money Market Funds
13
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
14/141
These funds invest in highly liquid money market instruments. The
period of investment could be as short as a day. They provide easy
liquidity. They have emerged as an alternative for savings and shortterm
fixed deposit accounts with comparatively higher returns. These funds
are ideal for corporates,institutional investors and business houses that
invest their funds for very short periods.
Gilt Funds
These funds invest in Central and State Government securities. Since
they are Government backed bonds they give a secured return and also
ensure safety of the principal amount. They are best suited for the
medium to long-term investors who are averse to risk.
Balanced Funds
These funds invest both in equity shares and fixed-income-bearing
instruments (debt) in some proportion. They provide a steady return and
reduce the volatility of the fund while providing some upside for capital
appreciation. They are ideal for medium to long-term investors who are
willing to take moderate risks.

b) On the basis of Flexibility
Open-ended Funds
These funds do not have a fixed date of redemption. Generally they are
open for subscription and redemption throughout the year. Their prices
are linked to the daily net asset value (NAV). From the investors'
perspective, they are much more liquid than closed-ended funds.
Close-ended Funds
These funds are open initially for entry during the Initial Public Offering
(IPO) and thereafter closed for entry as well as exit. These funds have a
fixed date of redemption. One of the characteristics of the close-ended
schemes is that they are generally traded at a discount to NAV; but the
discount narrows as maturity nears. These funds are open for
subscription only once and can be redeemed only on the fixed date of
redemption. The units of these funds are listed on stock exchanges (with
certain exceptions), are tradable and the subscribers to the fund would
be able to exit from the fund at any time through the secondary market.
Different investment plans that Mutual Funds offer
The term investment plans generally refers to the services that the
funds provide to investors offering different ways to invest or
15
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy

reinvest.The different investment plans are an important consideration in
the investment decision, because they determine the flexibility available
to the investor. Some of the investment plans offered by mutual funds in
India are:
16
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
17/141
Growth Plan and Dividend Plan
A growth plan is a plan under a scheme wherein the returns from
investments are reinvested and very few income distributions, if any, are
made. The investor thus only realizes capital appreciation on the
investment. Under the dividend plan, income is distributed from time to
time. This plan is ideal to those investors requiring regular income.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Dividend plans of schemes carry an additional option for reinvestment of
income distribution. This is referred to as the dividend reinvestment plan.
Under this plan, dividends declared by a fund are reinvested in the
scheme on behalf of the investor, thus increasing the number of units
held by the investors.
Rights that are available to a Mutual Fund holder in India
As per SEBI Regulations on Mutual Funds, an investor is entitled
to:
1. Receive Unit certificates or statements of accounts confirming your
title within 6 weeks from the date your request for a unit certificate is
received by the Mutual Fund.

ORGANISATION OF A MUTUAL FUND
There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the
organisational set up of a mutual fund:
Mutual funds have a typical organisation in which five key parlies or
players or special bodies or constituents are involved. They are:
The sponsors, the Board of Trustees (EOT) or Trust Company
(TC)
The Asset Management Company (AMC)
The custodian, and
19
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
20/141
The unit-holders
They are usually formed by an investment adviser or manager or
sponsor who selects and appoints a BOT, which, in turn, hires or
contracts a separate AMC which is run by professional managers.
The AMC conducts the necessary research, and based on it,
manages the fund or portfolio. It is responsible for floating, managing,
redeeming the schemes; it also handles the administrative chores. It
receives the fees for the services rendered by it. The custodian is
responsible far coordination with brokers, the actual transfer and
storage of stocks, and handling the property of the trust. He is
answerable to the AMC.As per the current regulations in force in
India, every MF proposed by a sponsor has to be setup as a trust
under the Indian Trust Act, 1882 (and not as a company under the
Companies Act, 1956). The UT1, however, was set up under a
special UTI Act, 1963. All MFs have to be registered with the SEBI. It
is required that the first four constituents of the MF should maintain
an arm's length relationship among themselves in order to reduce
conflict of interests, and to safeguard the interests of the
investors.Mutual funds can sell their units directly to the investors or
they may employ the sales forced brokers and agents for that
20
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
21/141
purpose. Some MFs in the US charge their investors a sales fee for
the costs involved in selling the fund, and they are known as "load
funds". Those who do not charge, such a fee arc known as "no-load
funds". All funds charge their shareholders a management fee which
is paid out of the fund's income.
Sponser
The sponsor is the promoter of the mutual fund. He sponsor
establishes the mutual fund
Sponsor appoints the trustees .custodians and the AMC with prior
approval of SEB1,and in and registers the same with
SEB1.accordance with regualation.
Sponsor must have at least 5 years track record of business
interest in the financial markets,
Sponsor must have been profit making in at least 3 of the above 5
years-
Sponsor must contribute at least 40% of the capital of the AMC.
21
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
22/141
Trustee
The mutual fund, which is a trust,is managed either by a trust
companies or a board of trustees and governed by the provisions of
the Indian Trust Act. The AMC and other functionaries are functially
accountable to trustees.
The sponsor executes and registers a trust deed in favour of the
trustees .the third schedule of SEB1 regulation specifies the
contents of the trust deed.
The appointment of all trustees has to be done with prior approval
of SEB1
There must be at least 4 members in the board of trustees must be
independent.
Trustees of one mutual fund cannot be trustees of another mutual
fund, unless he is an independent trustees in both cases, and has
the approval of both the boards.
Asset Management Company
The trustees on the advise of the sponsors, usually appoint the AMC.
The AMC has to be SEB1 registered entity and should have a
22
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
23/141
minimum net worth management agreement with the AMC.which
spells out the functions of the AMC.
The following are various types of AMC's we have in India:
AMC's owned by banks.
AMC's owned by the Indian private sector companies
AMC's owned by the financial institutions.
AMC's owned by the foreign institution investors.
AMC's owned jointly by Indian and foreign sponsors.
AUDIT
Legal advisor advise mutual fund on regulatory and taxation issues.
Every mutual fund has an employee designated as compliance
officer, who works under the advise of the legal advisor. The AMC
aiso has its accounts and annual reports, these two sets of accounts
are required to be statutory audited. SEB1 regulation stipulate that
auditors of the fund can not also be the auditors of the AMC- the two
sets of accounts have to be
audited by to separate auditing firms. audotors charge a fee from the
mutual fund for these services.
23

8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy

Transfer
As the fund stands ready to redeem the unit on any working day, the
transfer facility is found redundant. However, if a transferee becomes
a holder of scheme's units in an official capacity by operation of law
or is a scheduled bank/ financial institution upon enforcement of a
pledge, then the trustee shall subject to production of necessary
evidence, procide to affect the transfer, if the intended transferee is
otherwise in line with terms of the schemes -In case any
pledge/charge over the scheme's units is the registered with the
trustee, transfer will be affected in accordance with the procedure
outlined in the detailed offer document.
BANKERS
A Fund's activities involve dealing with money on a continuous basis
primarily with respects to buying and selling units, paying for
investment made, receiving the proceeds on sale of investment and
discharging its obligations towards operating expenses. A fund's
bankers therefore play.

Advantages of Investment in Mutual Fund
Mutual Funds offer several benefits to an investor that unmatched by the
other investment options. The major benefits are good post-tax returns and
reasonable safety, the other benefits in investing in Mutual Funds are
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT:
Mutual Funds employ the services of experienced and skilled professionals
and dedicated investment research team. The whole team analyses the
performance and balance sheet of companies and selects them to achieve the
objectives of the scheme.
POTENTIAL RETURN:
Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a higher return to an investor
than any other option over a reasonable period of time.
DIVERSIFICATION:
Mutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a wide cross section
of industries and sectors.
LIQUIDITY:
The investor can get the money promptly at the net asset value related prices
from the Mutual Funds open-ended schemes. In close-ended schemes, the
units can be sold on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price.
29
-
8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
30/141
TRANSPARENCY:
Mutual Funds have to disclose their holdings, investment pattern and the
necessary information before all investors under a regulation framework.
FLEXIBILITY:
Investment in Mutual Funds offers a lot of flexibility with features of
schemes such as regular investment plan, regular withdrawal plans and
dividend reinvestment plans enabling systematic investment or withdrawal
of funds.
AFFORDABILITY:
Small investors with low investment fund are unable to high-grade or blue
chip stocks. An investor through Mutual Funds can be benefited from a
portfolio including of high priced stock..
WELL REGULATED:
All Mutual Funds are registered with SEBI, and SEBI acts a watchdog, so
the Mutual Funds are well regulated
30

Disadvantages of Mutual Funds
FLUCTUATING RETURNS:
Mutual funds are like many other investments without a guaranteed return.
There is always the possibility that the value of your mutual fund will
depreciate. Unlike fixed-income products, such as bonds and Treasury bills,
mutual funds experience price fluctuations along with the stocks that make
up the fund.
DIVERSIFICATION:
Although diversification is one of the keys to successful investing, many
mutual fund investors tend to over diversify. The idea of diversification is to
reduce the risks associated with holding a single security; over
diversification (also known as diworsification) occurs when investors
acquire many funds that are highly related and so don't get the risk reducing
benefits of diversification.
CASH, CASH AND MORE CASH:
Mutual funds pool money from thousands of investors, so everyday
investors are putting money into the fund as well as withdrawing
investments. To maintain liquidity and the capacity to accommodate
withdrawals, funds typically have to keep a large portion of their portfolio as

32/141
cash. Having ample cash is great for liquidity, but money sitting around as
cash is not working for you and thus is not very advantageous.
COSTS:
In mutual funds the fees are classified into two categories: shareholder fees
and annual fund-operating fees.
The shareholder fees, in the forms of loads and redemption fees are paid
directly by shareholders purchasing or selling the funds. The annual fund
operating fees are charged as an annual percentage - usually ranging from 1-
3%. These fees are assessed to mutual fund investors regardless of the
performance of the fund. When the fund doesn't make money these fees only
magnify losses.
MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENTS:
The misleading advertisements of different funds can guide investors down
the wrong path. Some funds may be incorrectly labeled as growth funds,
while others are classified as small-cap or income.
EVALUATING FUNDS:
Another disadvantage of mutual funds is the difficulty they pose for
investors interested in researching and evaluating the different funds. Unlike
stocks, mutual funds do not offer investors the opportunity to compare the
P/E ratio, sales growth, earnings per share, etc.

TAX ASPECT OF MUTUAL FUND
DIVIDEND MADE TAX-FREE
Dividend received from a domestic company and income distributed
by UTI-I or any MF, to its unit holders has been made tax-free from
1.4.03 onwards. However, dividend declared, distributed or paid by
such sources shall be charged a distribution tax of @16.995% flat.
This distribution tax is in addition to the normal income tax payable by
them.
CAPITAL GAIN TAX:
Capital gains are generated through the sale of stocks, bonds and
other investments, which have appreciated in value, from the funds
portfolio. There are no capital grain tax on MF and stock market.
While STCG are subject to Tax@10% even traded through stock
exchange and security from action tax has been paid. Unquated
shares/ MF are subject to tax at normal rate of tax.
33

8/6/2019 Consumer Behaviour About Mutual Fund in Karvy
34/141
INCOME RECEIVED FROM MUTUAL FUND:
The Internal Revenue Service might depend upon the nature of your
mutual fund investment. Generally, most income generated from a
mutual fund account, with the exception of tax-exempt money market
or municipal bond funds, is subject to federal taxes as ordinary
income or capital gains
WEALTH TAX:
Under sec 2(1)(e) of Wealth tax Act it is not treated as an asset.
Therefore this is exempted from tax liability.
GIFT TAX:
Mutual Fund may be given as a gift and no tax is applicable by doner
or donee
TDS ON REDEMPTION:
No TDS is required to be deducted from capital gain at the time of
redemption in case of mutual fund.
TAX BENEFITS ON INVESTMENT IN MUTUAL FUND:
(1)100% Income Tax Exemption on all Mutual Fund dividends.
(2)Capital Gains tax to be lower of
10% on the capital gains without factoring indexation benefits and
20% on the capital gains after factoring indexation benefits.
34

(3)Open-end funds with equity exposure of more than 50% are
exempt of dividend tax for a period of 3 years from 1999-2000.
Another Investment Avenue featuring in the list of eligible
instruments is the Equity Linked Saving Scheme or tax saving funds.
Simply put, these are mutual fund schemes wherein investment upto
Rs 100,000 qualify for Section 80 benefits. Investors are given the
unique opportunity to invest in an equity-linked product and still claim
tax benefits on the same; which is quite a departure from
conventional tax saving instruments. Tax saving funds have a
mandatory 3-Yr lock in period, which distinguishes them from
conventional equity-oriented funds, which have no constraints on
liquidity.

KARVY CONSULTANTS LIMITED
As the flagship company of the Karvy Group, Karvy Consultants
Limited has always remained at the helm of organizational affairs,
pioneering business policies, work ethic and channels of progress.
Having emerged as a leader in the registry business, the first of the
businesses that we ventured into, we have now transferred this
business into a joint venture with Computershare Limited of Australia,
the worlds largest registrar. With the advent of depositories in the
Indian capital market and the relationships that we have created in
the registry business, we believe that we were best positioned to
venture into this activity as a Depository Participant. We were one of
the early entrants registered as Depository Participant with NSDL
(National Securities Depository Limited), the first Depository in the
country and then with CDSL (Central Depository Services Limited).
Today, we service over 6 lakhs customer accounts in this business
spread across over 250 cities/towns in India and are ranked amongst
the largest Depository Participants in the country. With a growing
