What is a mutual fund?

A mutual fund pools your money along with that of several other investors and invests this money, depending on the type of mutual fund you choose. It invests in different stocks if you choose equity or equity diversified mutual funds, in bonds or fixed income securities, if you choose debt mutual funds and a mix of equity and debt if you choose a balanced mutual fund.

The Company which manages the mutual fund is called an AMC or an asset management Company. An AMC may manage several mutual fund schemes.

The money you and several investors invest in the mutual fund, is managed by a professional called a fund manager, appointed by the AMC. Fees are paid to the fund manager for managing your money, which is deducted from the money, you invest in the mutual fund.

The activities of the AMC are regulated by SEBI (The Securities and Exchange Board of India). You have to pay money when you enter and exit a mutual fund scheme, called the entry load and exit load.

Why Invest In Mutual Funds?

Diversification Benefit

Mutual funds invest in stocks of different Companies across sectors. This reduces risk through diversification.

 

Small Is Big

Invest small amounts systematically in mutual funds, through SIP. You are always invested in the stock market and profit in bull markets.

Professional Management

You have a professional fund manager managing your investment. You don't have the headache of buying and selling stocks.

Tax Benefits

You get tax deductions on your salary, if you invest in an ELSS. You also get the benefits of compounding.

 
Mutual funds in India can be open ended or close ended

Open ended schemes: They don't have a fixed maturity date. Investors can buy and sell units of mutual fund, at any time within market trading hours.

Close ended schemes: These schemes are open for investment only for a short period of time. You have to invest within this time frame. The close ended schemes are listed on a stock exchange. You can buy and sell units on the stock exchange through a broker just like stocks.

Net Asset Value (NAV)

You have the total market value of all the assets of the mutual fund portfolio such as Cash, Securities, Shares, Bonds, Liquid Assets, Dividends to be received and interest accrued. You have the liabilities, which is money owed to its creditors or investors redeeming their money. There will be certain expenses accrued over time yet to be paid.

Net Asset Value is basically the difference between these assets and liabilities divided by the outstanding units. The outstanding units are those which are taken up by the investor.

Direct Plan mutual funds

You can directly invest in the asset management Company. You do not invest through agents and Distributors. A mutual fund scheme has to affix the word "DIRECT" in the scheme name.

SIP in a mutual fund

In case of SIP, on a specified date a fixed amount as specified by you, is deducted from your bank amount. The amount debited is then invested in a particular mutual fund scheme of your choice, at fixed time periods such as the first day of each month. Many AMC and fund houses provide the online option for your SIP investments.

Types of equity mutual funds

Equity Diversified mutual fund: The mutual fund looks to invest in a wide variety of companies.These may be small to medium sized companies or even large companies. These companies may be spread across sectors and industries. These may be into oil and gas, pharmaceuticals or infrastructure. Investment across sectors and Companies reduces risk in investing.

Sectoral Mutual Funds: A Sectoral fund is a mutual fund which basically invests in stocks of a particular sector. It remains focused on the stocks of a particular business. These may be the Technology, Financial services, Telecommunications, Metals and Mining, Healthcare and Pharma, Real Estate and Infrastructure, Power, Oil and Gas, Shipping, Airlines Industry, Banking, FMCG and so on.

Index Schemes

An index fund is basically an equity fund, that mirrors or replicates a particular stock market index such as the CNX Nifty also called Nifty 50 or the S&P BSE Sensex. An index fund which tracks the S&P BSE Sensex will invest only in the thirty stocks which this index comprises of. The proportions of investment in each stock will exactly match with the weight of the stock in the index. All the fund manager has to do is to follow and replicate the index he tracks and invest in all the constituent shares in the same proportion or ratio as the index.

Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS)

As the name suggests, ELSS invests the whole corpus in equities. Proportions as high as 80-90% in equities are found in an Equity Linked Savings Schemes. It is a special kind of mutual fund that qualifies for tax benefits.

Lock in: ELSS has a 3 year lock in. You cannot touch your money in the ELSS for 3 years.

ELSS enjoys EEE exemptions

"EEE" means exempt exempt exempt. The ELSS enjoys a deduction under Section 80 C of the income tax act, up to INR 1.5 Lakhs a year. You can invest a maximum amount of INR 1.5 Lakhs a year in an ELSS and avail a deduction under Section 80 C of the income tax act on the full amount invested.

The money accumulates with time (if the value of the ELSS increases) and no tax is charged on this amount. The money you withdraw on maturity after 3 years is tax free.

Risk in mutual funds

As per SEBI rules the level of risk in a mutual fund is denoted through colors.
Blue : Your principal is at low risk.
Yellow : Your principal is at medium risk.
Brown : Your principal is at high risk.

 

Concepts & FAQ's Mutual Funds

What is an Equity Mutual Fund?

Equity Mutual Fund that invests principally in stocks is called an Equity Mutual Fund. They are also called as Stock Mutual Funds. By purchasing equity (stock) an investor becomes an owner in a corporation with the right to share in any future profits by the company.

The objective of Equity Mutual Fund is growth through capital gains (profit that results from selling a capital asset, such as stock, where the amount realized exceeds the purchase price) and/or dividends (distribution of profits). Equity Mutual Funds performance is linked to the performance of the stock market.

For whom are Equity Mutual Funds suitable?

The investor as a share holder of the company also needs to take the risks involved with it. These kinds of mutual funds are suitable for the kind of investors who are willing to take the risks involved and who are aware of the market conditions. Basically Equity Mutual Funds are more suitable for seasoned investors. For an investor investing in Equity Mutual Funds, timing the entry is crucial also equally important is the exiting time. Also picking up the right type of Equity Mutual Fund is very important too.

Objectives Of Mutual Funds

Depending on the mutual fund scheme that you invest, mutual funds have the following objectives:

  • Capital growth
  • Preservation of Capital
  • Steady income

Features of Mutual Funds

1.Diversification:
Mutual funds invest in diversified financial instruments. Diversification as we know, helps minimize risk and loss. Investing all your money in a single investment option is quite foolish. Say, you invest all your money in fixed-income securities, you’ll earn moderate returns but your investments will not grow. On the other hand, if you invest everything in stocks, chances are you will lose all your money if stock markets crash. So, you will neither enjoy good returns nor capital growth.

Mutual funds offer a diversified portfolio that allows investors to realize the best of safety and capital growth based on their risk appetite.

2.Objective:
According to the type of mutual fund that’s invested, you can achieve objectives like steady income, higher returns, capital growth or a combination of any /all of these.

3.Fund manager:
Most investors don’t have enough time, knowledge or interest to research individual stocks and bonds. Mutual funds therefore, are the best options for such investors, because these are managed by a professional fund manager who is dedicated to meet the investment objectives.

4.Low Fees:
Picking individual stocks can be a costly affair, because of broker fees and commissions. Mostly, mutual funds charge operational fees which are less than 1% a year. They also charge an exit load. Nevertheless, there are certain "no-load" mutual funds that don't charge investors anything.

5.Categories:
Mutual funds fall in three categories:

  • Equity funds:
    These investments are made only in equity mutual funds or shares. They are highly risky and may give higher returns compared to other categories.
  • Fixed-income funds:
    These are invested in bonds, treasury bills, corporate deposits and so on. They provide fixed returns and are the least risky, compared to other categories.
  • Balanced funds:
    These funds are invested in both stocks and bonds to offer moderate to low risk.

Advantages of Mutual Funds

1.Mutual funds offer the benefits of diversification.

2.Through mutual funds, you outsource the task of managing your funds to a professional manager, who ensures your funds are invested in the right place as per risk appetite.

3.Mutual funds are highly liquid. You can sell your units freely and quickly, if you have opted for open-ended mutual funds.

4.By investing in mutual funds, you save broker fees, commissions, professional management fees, and so on. Mutual funds charge little to manage your funds.

5.Most mutual funds are tax-efficient. Tax on LTCG (Long-term Capital Gains) on equity-oriented mutual funds, are Nil up to 1 Lakh a year. In case of debt funds, LTCG only applies if you hold them for 3 years and you enjoy the indexation benefit. ELSS funds are exempt under Section 80C up to a maximum limit of Rs 1.5 Lakh a year.

6.You can start by investing an amount as low as Rs 500 via SIPs.

7.With Systematic Investment Plans or SIPs, your money automatically gets debited from your bank account towards mutual fund investments.

8.AMCs are governed by SEBI. Hence, they are safe and transparent.

9.You may either choose to invest in Mutual Funds through SIPs or as a lump sum.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of Equity Mutual Funds?

1.Based on asset class:

  • Equity Funds:
    These funds invest in stocks of various companies. This investment involves high risk; so, chances of earning good returns are high.
  • Debt Funds:
    These funds invest in government bonds, debentures and other fixed-income instruments. The aim is to earn fixed returns. Therefore, Debt Funds come with low risk.
  • Money market funds:
    In this type of mutual fund, the money is invested in money market instruments. Money market instruments invest in Commercial Paper, Treasury Bills, Certificate of Deposits, and Repo instruments.

  • Balanced or Hybrid Funds:
    Hybrid funds as the name suggests, are invested in a combination of high risk and low-risk assets, in order to balance risk and returns. They invest in a mix of equity and debt to protect your investment.
  • Sector Funds:
    These funds only invest in a specific sector like infra, pharma, auto or oil and gas. For example, in case of the infrastructure sector, funds are only invested in companies related to that sector. The risks and returns on such funds are dependent on the performances of that particular sector. These are an extremely risky investment.
  • Index Funds:
    These funds try to replicate a specific index like Nifty 50 by investing in the same stocks in the same proportions. They perform in tandem with the index. Therefore, returns are associated with that specific index.
  • Tax Saving Funds:

  • Closed-ended Funds:
    Closed-ended funds restrict the entry and exit from the fund. The units of such funds can be purchased only during the initial offer period. They can be redeemed only after the maturity date. These funds are often listed on the stock exchange.

3.Based on investment objective:

  • Aggressive growth funds:
    These funds aim to achieve aggressive growth. Investors with an intention of getting very high returns, invest in this type of fund. The risk associated with these funds is quite high. Investors who are not prepared to bear losses shouldn’t invest in aggressive growth funds.
  • Growth funds:
    Capital appreciation is the main objective of these funds with little or no focus on dividend payout. Growth funds are a combination of investments in small, medium, and large-sized corporations who reinvest their earnings into expansion, R&D, mergers, and so on.
  • Income funds:
    Income funds are invested in fixed income instruments like corporate fixed deposits, debentures, bonds and so on, which give fixed returns. The main aim is not capital appreciation, but to provide a consistent income to the investors. These types of mutual funds are most suitable for retired people who need a fixed income. These funds give dividends on a regular basis. Income funds come with moderate risk. They are also impacted by inflation.
  • Balanced funds:
    These funds invest in stocks, bonds and sometimes money market instruments too. The investment mix is fixed based on the risk objective. Balanced funds aim to provide investors with income and the growth opportunity.

Investment is done in money market instruments that are very safe, like treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and so on. These funds give decent returns, higher than SB Accounts.
