    Introduction to Mutul FundsA mutul fund is form of opn-ndd collctiv invstmnt

    schm,7 or invstmnt fund. It is pool of svins collctdfrom multipl invstors who bu units rprsntin proportiontownrship of th fund. Th rsultin pool of funds, or th fundscpitl, is collctivl mnd b profssionl mnmntcompn, in lin with th invstmnt objctiv outlind in th fundsprospctus. Mutul funds r tpicll undrstood to mn opn-ndd funds; tht is, funds tht r oblid to bu bck thir shrsor units from holdrs on rulr (usull rd s dil) bsis.This form of collctiv invstmnt schm is closl rultdbcus it is lll liibl to thr svins from th public nd isrquird, in turn, to invst thos svins in divrsifid portfolio of

    trnsfrbl/trdbl scuritis.Mutul funds tpicll consist of four min tps of funds,

    dfind b thir sst xposur:(1) funds tht invst prdominntlin quit scuritis, (2) funds tht invst prdominntl in dbtscuritis, (3) funds tht invst in hbrid of both quit nd dbtscuritis, nd (4) funds tht invst in short-trm dbt instrumnts(mon mrkt funds).8

    Ths funds r st up throuh on of thr common ll

    structurs: trust, corport, or contrctul-tp funds. Thcountrs ll trdition, whthr civil cod or common lw, willinflunc th tp of ll structur nbld for mutul funds. Thll structur tpicll mbds ovrnnc rquirmnts to dl

    Dvlopmnt of Mutul Fund Sctors

    For policmkrs skin to initit or xpnd mutul fund

    sctor, th first stp is to idntif th currnt lvl of dvlopmntnd succss of th mutul fund sctor.

    If thr is no mutul fund sctor in th conom, nd th countr

    sks to initit such funds, policmkrs should first considr

    th ntur nd scl of th cpitl mrkts.Th should ssss,for instnc if cpitl mrkts r xpndin nd offrin potntilfor mutul funds to xpnd; nd if thr is sufficint liquidit in thmrkt to llow mutul funds to sil oprt. Bcus mutulfunds must b bl to invst nw mon flowin into thm nd bbl to ris mon b sllin ssts whn invstors wish to xit thfund, th cnnot oprt in nrrow nd illiquid cpitl mrkts. Ifth stock mrkt, for instnc, lists 30 or fwr scuritis nd mostor ll of ths r rrl trdd,12 thn it is unlikl tht mutulfunds could function ffctivl. In such css, bfor dvlopinmutul funds, polic mkrs could first sk to improv th lvl ofissunc nd mrkt turnovr in th cpitl mrkts. Th couldlso prioriti improvin th nvironmnt for closd-ndd fundssuch s vntur cpitl nd privt quit fundstht do notnd liquid ssts to function, sinc ths funds cn lso hlp ddto issunc listd on xchns.

    If, on th othr hnd, th countr hs mutul fund sctor,

    policmkrs must undrstnd th currnt hlth nd lvl of

    dvlopmnt of this sctor. Th must ssss how th mutulfund mrkt hs dvlopd rltiv to th conom;13 whthrth mrkt is prcivd to offr ood potntil for dvlopmnt;14

    how ffctiv th sctor hs bn in mobiliin svins;15

    nd thrltiv succss of mutul funds with rspct to othr svinsvhicls. If th mutul fund sctor is thouht not to b rowinsufficintl, th nxt stp is to idntif th rsons for indqutrowth. Tpicll (but not lws) ths rsons will fll into on ormor of th followin ctoris which r furthr xplord in thchptrs of this stud:
