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.<\/p><p>The profits or losses are shared by the investors in proportion to their investments.

The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by the total number of units of the scheme on any particular date. For example, if the market value of securities of a mutual fund scheme is Rs. 200 lakhs and the mutual fund has issued 10 lakhs units of Rs. 10 each to the investors, then the NAV per unit of the fund is Rs. 20.

These schemes do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices which are declared on a daily basis. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity.<\/p><ul type=\"disc\"><li><strong>Close-ended Fund\/ Scheme<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>A close-ended fund or scheme has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the time of launch of the scheme. Investors can invest in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where the units are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the mutual fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor i.e. either repurchase facility or through\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nism.ac.in\/certification\/index.php\/component\/glossary\/Glossary-1\/L\/Listing-87\/\">listing<\/a>\u00a0on stock exchanges. These mutual funds schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis.<\/p><p><strong>b) Schemes according to Investment Objective:<\/strong><\/p><p>A scheme can also be classified as growth scheme, income scheme, or balanced scheme considering its investment objective. Such schemes may be open-ended or close-ended schemes as described earlier. Such schemes may be classified mainly as follows:<\/p><ul type=\"disc\"><li><strong>Growth \/ Equity Oriented Scheme<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>The aim of growth funds is to provide capital appreciation over the medium to long- term. Such schemes normally invest a major part of their corpus in equities. Such funds have comparatively high risks. These schemes provide different options to the investors like dividend option, capital appreciation, etc. and the investors may choose an option depending on their preferences. The investors must indicate the option in the application form. The mutual funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time.<\/p><ul type=\"disc\"><li><strong>Income \/ Debt Oriented Scheme<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, Government securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term investors may not bother about these fluctuations.<\/p><ul type=\"disc\"><li><strong>Balanced Fund<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular income as such schemes invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated in their offer documents. These are appropriate for investors looking for moderate growth. They generally invest 40-60% in equity and debt instruments. These funds are also affected because of fluctuations in share prices in the stock markets. However, NAVs of such funds are likely to be less volatile compared to pure equity funds.<\/p><ul type=\"disc\"><li><strong>Money Market or Liquid Fund<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>These funds are also income funds and their aim is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital and moderate income. These schemes invest exclusively in safer short-term instruments such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and inter-bank call money, government securities, etc. Returns on these schemes fluctuate much less compared to other funds.

That is, each time one buys or sells units in the fund, a charge will be payable. This charge is used by the mutual fund for marketing and distribution expenses. Suppose the NAV per unit is Rs.10. If the entry as well as exit load charged is 1%, then the investors who buy would be required to pay Rs.10.10 and those who offer their units for repurchase to the mutual fund will get only Rs.9.90 per unit. The investors should take the loads into consideration while making investment as these affect their yields\/returns. However, the investors should also consider the performance track record and service standards of the mutual fund which are more important.

On the other hand they must consider the track record of the mutual fund and should take objective decisions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-23114\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"14\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-23114\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 31.4359L34.1026 21.3333L32.2 19.4974L24 27.6974L15.8 19.4974L13.8974 21.3333L24 31.4359ZM24.0089 48C20.6901 48 17.5699 47.3702 14.6483 46.1107C11.7266 44.8512 9.18518 43.1418 7.02393 40.9826C4.86273 38.8234 3.15178 36.2844 1.89107 33.3655C0.630355 30.4465 0 27.3277 0 24.0089C0 20.6901 0.629756 17.5699 1.88927 14.6483C3.14882 11.7266 4.8582 9.18518 7.0174 7.02393C9.1766 4.86273 11.7156 3.15178 14.6345 1.89107C17.5535 0.630357 20.6723 0 23.9911 0C27.3099 0 30.4301 0.629755 33.3517 1.88927C36.2734 3.14882 38.8148 4.8582 40.9761 7.0174C43.1373 9.1766 44.8482 11.7156 46.1089 14.6345C47.3696 17.5535 48 20.6723 48 23.9911C48 27.3099 47.3702 30.4301 46.1107 33.3517C44.8512 36.2734 43.1418 38.8148 40.9826 40.9761C38.8234 43.1373 36.2844 44.8482 33.3655 46.1089C30.4465 47.3697 27.3277 48 24.0089 48Z\" fill=\"#171717\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 20.3026L32.2 28.5026L34.1026 26.6667L24 16.5641L13.8974 26.6667L15.8 28.5026L24 20.3026ZM24.0089 48C20.6901 48 17.5699 47.3702 14.6483 46.1107C11.7266 44.8512 9.18518 43.1418 7.02393 40.9826C4.86273 38.8234 3.15178 36.2844 1.89107 33.3655C0.630355 30.4465 0 27.3277 0 24.0089C0 20.6901 0.629756 17.5699 1.88927 14.6483C3.14882 11.7266 4.8582 9.18518 7.0174 7.02393C9.1766 4.86273 11.7156 3.15178 14.6345 1.89107C17.5535 0.630357 20.6723 0 23.9911 0C27.3099 0 30.4301 0.629755 33.3517 1.88927C36.2734 3.14882 38.8148 4.8582 40.9761 7.0174C43.1373 9.1766 44.8482 11.7156 46.1089 14.6345C47.3696 17.5535 48 20.6723 48 23.9911C48 27.3099 47.3702 30.4301 46.1107 33.3517C44.8512 36.2734 43.1418 38.8148 40.9826 40.9761C38.8234 43.1373 36.2844 44.8482 33.3655 46.1089C30.4465 47.3697 27.3277 48 24.0089 48Z\" fill=\"#171717\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can non-resident Indians (NRIs) invest in mutual funds?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-23114\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"14\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-23114\"><p>Yes, non-resident Indians can also invest in mutual funds.

NAV of the scheme depends on the value of securities in which the funds have been deployed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-23126\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"26\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-23126\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 31.4359L34.1026 21.3333L32.2 19.4974L24 27.6974L15.8 19.4974L13.8974 21.3333L24 31.4359ZM24.0089 48C20.6901 48 17.5699 47.3702 14.6483 46.1107C11.7266 44.8512 9.18518 43.1418 7.02393 40.9826C4.86273 38.8234 3.15178 36.2844 1.89107 33.3655C0.630355 30.4465 0 27.3277 0 24.0089C0 20.6901 0.629756 17.5699 1.88927 14.6483C3.14882 11.7266 4.8582 9.18518 7.0174 7.02393C9.1766 4.86273 11.7156 3.15178 14.6345 1.89107C17.5535 0.630357 20.6723 0 23.9911 0C27.3099 0 30.4301 0.629755 33.3517 1.88927C36.2734 3.14882 38.8148 4.8582 40.9761 7.0174C43.1373 9.1766 44.8482 11.7156 46.1089 14.6345C47.3696 17.5535 48 20.6723 48 23.9911C48 27.3099 47.3702 30.4301 46.1107 33.3517C44.8512 36.2734 43.1418 38.8148 40.9826 40.9761C38.8234 43.1373 36.2844 44.8482 33.3655 46.1089C30.4465 47.3697 27.3277 48 24.0089 48Z\" fill=\"#171717\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 20.3026L32.2 28.5026L34.1026 26.6667L24 16.5641L13.8974 26.6667L15.8 28.5026L24 20.3026ZM24.0089 48C20.6901 48 17.5699 47.3702 14.6483 46.1107C11.7266 44.8512 9.18518 43.1418 7.02393 40.9826C4.86273 38.8234 3.15178 36.2844 1.89107 33.3655C0.630355 30.4465 0 27.3277 0 24.0089C0 20.6901 0.629756 17.5699 1.88927 14.6483C3.14882 11.7266 4.8582 9.18518 7.0174 7.02393C9.1766 4.86273 11.7156 3.15178 14.6345 1.89107C17.5535 0.630357 20.6723 0 23.9911 0C27.3099 0 30.4301 0.629755 33.3517 1.88927C36.2734 3.14882 38.8148 4.8582 40.9761 7.0174C43.1373 9.1766 44.8482 11.7156 46.1089 14.6345C47.3696 17.5535 48 20.6723 48 23.9911C48 27.3099 47.3702 30.4301 46.1107 33.3517C44.8512 36.2734 43.1418 38.8148 40.9826 40.9761C38.8234 43.1373 36.2844 44.8482 33.3655 46.1089C30.4465 47.3697 27.3277 48 24.0089 48Z\" fill=\"#171717\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">If schemes in the same category of different mutual funds are available, should one choose a scheme with lower NAV?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-23126\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"26\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-23126\"><div class=\"content-sm7\"><p>Some of the investors have the tendency to prefer a scheme that is available at lower NAV compared to the one available at higher NAV. Sometimes, they prefer a new scheme which is issuing units at Rs. 10 whereas the existing schemes in the same category are available at much higher NAVs. Investors may please note that in case of mutual funds schemes, lower or higher NAVs of similar type schemes of different mutual funds have no relevance. On the other hand, investors should choose a scheme based on its merit considering performance track record of the mutual fund, service standards, professional management, etc. This is explained in an example given below.<\/p><p>Suppose scheme A is available at a NAV of Rs.15 and another scheme B at Rs.90. Both schemes are diversified equity oriented schemes. Investor has put Rs. 9,000 in each of the two schemes. He would get 600 units (9000\/15) in scheme A and 100 units (9000\/90) in scheme B. Assuming that the markets go up by 10 per cent and both the schemes perform equally good and it is reflected in their NAVs. NAV of scheme A would go up to Rs. 16.50 and that of scheme B to Rs. 99. Thus, the market value of investments would be Rs. 9,900 (600* 16.50) in scheme A and it would be the same amount of Rs. 9900 in scheme B (100*99). The investor would get the same return of 10% on his investment in each of the schemes. Thus, lower or higher NAV of the schemes and allotment of higher or lower number of units within the amount an investor is willing to invest, should not be the factors for making investment decision. Likewise, if a new equity oriented scheme is being offered at Rs.10 and an existing scheme is available for Rs. 90, should not be a factor for decision making by the investor. Similar is the case with income or debt-oriented schemes.<\/p><p>On the other hand, it is likely that the better managed scheme with higher NAV may give higher returns compared to a scheme which is available at lower NAV but is not managed efficiently. Similar is the case of fall in NAVs. Efficiently managed scheme at higher NAV may not fall as much as inefficiently managed scheme with lower NAV. Therefore, the investor should give more weightage to the professional management of a scheme instead of lower NAV of any scheme. He may get much higher number of units at lower NAV, but the scheme may not give higher returns if it is not managed efficiently.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-23127\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"27\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-23127\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 31.4359L34.1026 21.3333L32.2 19.4974L24 27.6974L15.8 19.4974L13.8974 21.3333L24 31.4359ZM24.0089 48C20.6901 48 17.5699 47.3702 14.6483 46.1107C11.7266 44.8512 9.18518 43.1418 7.02393 40.9826C4.86273 38.8234 3.15178 36.2844 1.89107 33.3655C0.630355 30.4465 0 27.3277 0 24.0089C0 20.6901 0.629756 17.5699 1.88927 14.6483C3.14882 11.7266 4.8582 9.18518 7.0174 7.02393C9.1766 4.86273 11.7156 3.15178 14.6345 1.89107C17.5535 0.630357 20.6723 0 23.9911 0C27.3099 0 30.4301 0.629755 33.3517 1.88927C36.2734 3.14882 38.8148 4.8582 40.9761 7.0174C43.1373 9.1766 44.8482 11.7156 46.1089 14.6345C47.3696 17.5535 48 20.6723 48 23.9911C48 27.3099 47.3702 30.4301 46.1107 33.3517C44.8512 36.2734 43.1418 38.8148 40.9826 40.9761C38.8234 43.1373 36.2844 44.8482 33.3655 46.1089C30.4465 47.3697 27.3277 48 24.0089 48Z\" fill=\"#171717\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 20.3026L32.2 28.5026L34.1026 26.6667L24 16.5641L13.8974 26.6667L15.8 28.5026L24 20.3026ZM24.0089 48C20.6901 48 17.5699 47.3702 14.6483 46.1107C11.7266 44.8512 9.18518 43.1418 7.02393 40.9826C4.86273 38.8234 3.15178 36.2844 1.89107 33.3655C0.630355 30.4465 0 27.3277 0 24.0089C0 20.6901 0.629756 17.5699 1.88927 14.6483C3.14882 11.7266 4.8582 9.18518 7.0174 7.02393C9.1766 4.86273 11.7156 3.15178 14.6345 1.89107C17.5535 0.630357 20.6723 0 23.9911 0C27.3099 0 30.4301 0.629755 33.3517 1.88927C36.2734 3.14882 38.8148 4.8582 40.9761 7.0174C43.1373 9.1766 44.8482 11.7156 46.1089 14.6345C47.3696 17.5535 48 20.6723 48 23.9911C48 27.3099 47.3702 30.4301 46.1107 33.3517C44.8512 36.2734 43.1418 38.8148 40.9826 40.9761C38.8234 43.1373 36.2844 44.8482 33.3655 46.1089C30.4465 47.3697 27.3277 48 24.0089 48Z\" fill=\"#171717\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How to choose a scheme for investment from a number of schemes available?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-23127\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"27\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-23127\"><p>As already mentioned, the investors must read the offer document of the mutual fund scheme very carefully. They may also look into the past track record of performance of the scheme or other schemes of the same mutual fund. They may also compare the performance with other schemes having similar investment objectives. Though past performance of a scheme is not an indicator of its future performance and good performance in the past may or may not be sustained in the future, this is one of the important factors for making investment decision. In case of debt oriented schemes, apart from looking into past returns, the investors should also see the quality of debt instruments which is reflected in their rating. A scheme with lower rate of return but having investments in better rated instruments may be safer. Similarly, in equities schemes also, investors may look for quality of portfolio.

The application is examined and once the sponsor satisfies certain conditions such as being in the financial services business and possessing positive net worth for the last five years, having net profit in three out of the last five years and possessing the general reputation of fairness and integrity in all business transactions, it is required to complete the remaining formalities for setting up a mutual fund. These include inter alia, executing the trust deed and investment management agreement, setting up a trustee company\/board of trustees comprising two- thirds independent trustees, incorporating the asset management company (AMC), contributing to at least 40% of the net worth of the AMC and appointing a custodian. Upon satisfying these conditions, the registration certificate is issued subject to the payment of registration fees of Rs. 25 lakhs.
