EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A mutual fund is a collective investment scheme, which specializes in investing a pool of money
collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds,
money market instruments and similar assets. It is indirect mode of investing. There are three types
of mutual funds by structure, by investment objective and other fund. This paper is focused FMCG
and Large Cap fund. A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who
share a common financial goal. It throws the light on how FMCG and Large Cap Mutual funds
really work, how much risk involved in it and how they diversify themselves. Investing involves
risk of loss of principal and is more concerned on the return of investment.
The main objective of the study is to analysis of FMCG and Large Cap Fund for long term and
give investors a basic idea of investing into the FMCG and Large Cap Mutual Funds and encourage
them to invest in those areas where they can maximize the return on their capital. The research
provided an interesting insight into awareness about the mutual funds, differences in risk taking
ability of individuals, investment options preferred etc.
There are 7 parameters taken for calculating risk and return Standard Deviation, Beta, R-squared,
Jensen’s Alpha, Portfolio Turnover Ratio, Sharpe’s Index and Treynor’s Ratio. In this study the
data collected are secondary that is through the factsheets of top funds as on February 2018. The
report is based on the data provided in the factsheets of SBI FMCG Mutual fund &ICICI Prudential
FMCG Mutual Fund and Reliance Large Cap fund & ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund.

CHAPTER - 1
INTRODUCTION
1. What is Mutual Fund?
Mutual funds are a collective investment vehicle that is they show an indirect way in which
investors can invest in capital market. The objective is to collect the funds, from the investors
and then invest these fund insecurities permitted under the regulations, such kind of
investment is ideal for small investors who want to invest in stock market but cannot in most
of the scrips because of limited amount of capital at their disposal. Mutual funds are suitable
for those investors who do not have sufficient knowledge of capital market and by investing
through a mutual fund. Mutual fund is one of the money related instrument in capital market
here the examination depends on the observational examination on the execution of common
fund schemes, fundamental motivation behind the investigation is to recognize which of the
month and year plot give by most astounding return and limit the hazard. The governing body
of trust gives direction, control, and also manages the overall affairs of the mutual fund. The
trustee has to be a person of high reputation and integrity. One of the member of governing
body becomes a full-time executive of the trust and heads a company known as Asset
Management Company (AMC). Asset Management Company design fund goods,
international financial instrument. So mutual fund industry is high competitive and fund
manager investment style and research team also affecting risk and return of the fund. An
important practical motivation for mutual fund performance evaluation is to help an investor
decide in which mutual funds to invest.
2. What is a FMCG company?
In this study, the aim is to check on how funds focusing on the FMCG sector are performing.
FMCG or Fast Moving Consumer Goods companies deal in manufacture, packing and
distribution of goods that are bought by customers frequently and hence are sold quickly and
relatively at a lower cost.
Sector specific mutual funds invest in specific category of companies only and in this case a
FMCG fund would invest in many companies but only within the FMCG category.
2
3. What are Large Cap funds?
Companies with market capitalization higher than $10 billion are termed as Large Cap
companies. Market capitalization is simply the number of a company's shares outstanding by
its stock price per share.
Sector specific mutual funds invest in specific category companies only and in this case a
Large Cap fund would invest in many companies but only within the Large Cap category.
THE HYPOTHESIS to prove in this study is Long term Equity funds deliver higher returns
in the long term (5yrs for this study) in comparison to FMCG funds.
4. Measuring tools and Techniques:
4.1. Return: Return on a typical investment consists of two components. The basic is the
periodic cash receipts (or income) on the investment, either in the form of interest or
dividends. The second component is the change in the price of the assets-commonly called
the capital gain or loss. This element of return is the difference between the purchase price
and the price at which the assets can be or is sold; therefore, it can be a gain or a loss.
The return has been calculated as under:
NAVt – NAVt-1
Portfolio return: Rit = ---------------------------------
NAV t-1
Where Rit is the difference between Net Asset Values for two consecutive days dividend by
the NAV of the preceding day.
M.indt – M.indt-1
Market return: Rmt = ------------------------
M.indt-1
Where Rmt is the difference between market indices of two consecutive day’s dividend by
the market index for the preceding day.
4.2. Risk: Risk is neither good nor bad. Risk in holding securities is usually related to the
likelihood that completed returns are going to be but expected returns. The difference
between the required rate of returns on mutual fund investment and the risk free return is the
risk premium. Risk can be measured in terms of Beta & standard deviations.
4.3. Standard deviation: - It is wont to measure the variation in individual returns from the
average expected returns over a particular amount. Standard deviation is employed within
the construct of risk of a portfolio of investments. Higher standard deviation suggests
that a bigger fluctuation in expected come.
Standard deviation may be a measure of the dispersion of a collection of data from its
mean. It’s calculated because the root of variance by determinative the variation
4
between every data point relative to the mean. If the data points area unit away from the
mean, there's higher deviation within the data set.
In finance, standard deviation may be an applied mathematics measurement; once applied to
the annual rate of return of an investment, it sheds lightweight on the historical volatility of
that investment. The bigger the standard deviation of a security, the bigger the variance
between every worth and also the mean, indicating a bigger worth vary. As an example, a
volatile stock features a high variance, whereas the deviation of a stable ordinary shares is
sometimes rather low.
4.1. What's Standard Deviance Used For?
Standard deviation is associate degree particularly great tool in investment and
commercialism methods, because it helps measure market and security volatility and predict
performance trends. As it relates to investment, for instance, associate degree open-end
fund may be expected to have a low standard deviation versus its benchmark index, because
the fund's goal is to duplicate the index. Aggressive growth funds on the opposite hand, may
be expected to possess a high standard deviation from relative stock indices, as their portfolio
managers build aggressive bets in an endeavor to get higher-than-average returns. A
lower standard deviation is not essentially desirable. It all depends on the type of investments
one is creating, and also the one's disposition to assume risk. Once coping with the number of
deviation in their portfolios, investors ought to take into account each their personal tolerance
for volatility and their overall investment objectives. A lot of aggressive investors could also
be snug with associate degree investment strategy that opts for vehicles with higher-than-
average volatility, whereas a lot of conservative investors might not.
4.2. Calculating a Standard Deviation
The formula for standard deviation uses 3 variables. The primary variable is to be the
worth of every purpose inside the data set, historically listed as x, with a sub-number
denoting every extra variable (x, x1, x2, x3, etc.). The mean, or average, of the data points is
applied to the worth of the variable M, and therefore the range of
information points concerned is appointed to the variable n.
To determine the mean, the values of the data points should be additional along, which total
is then divided by the quantity of data points that were enclosed? For instance, if the
data points were 5, 7, 3 and 7, the entire would be 22. That total of twenty-two would then be
5
divided by the quantity of data points, during this case four, leading to a mean of 5.5.
This ends up in the subsequent determinations: M = 5.5 and n = 4.
The variance is decided by subtracting the worth of the mean from every information, leading
to -0.5, 1.5, -2.5 and 1.5. Every of these values area unit then square, leading to 0.25, 2.25,
6.25 and 2.25. The sq. values area unit then additional along, leading to a complete of 11
that is then divided by the worth of n-1 that is 3 during this instance leading to a variance or
so of 3.67.The root of the variance is then calculated, leading to the quality deviation of
roughly 13.46.
5. Beta: - Beta measures the systematic risk and shows how prices of securities respond to
the market forces. It is calculated by relating the return on a security with return for the
market. By convention, market will have beta 1.0.Mutual fund is said to be volatile, more
volatile or less volatile. If beta is greater than 1 the stock is said to be riskier than market. If
beta is less than 1, the indication is that stock is less risky in comparison to market. If beta is
zero then the risk is the same as that of the market. Negative beta is rare.
ß = Covariance / (SD) 2
Where, Covariance is the average of the products of deviations for each data point pair. And,
covariance is calculated as:
Covariance = 1/n Σ (xi –µ x) (yi - µy)
Where, x = scheme returns. y = market returns.
µ = mean. β = n Σxy - (Σx) (Σy) nΣx 2 -(Σx)
Where, n = number of years, X = rolling returns of the BSE index, Y = rolling returns of the
schemes
5.2. Using Beta
A security's beta should only be used when a security has a high R-squared value in relation
to the benchmark. The R-squared measures the percentage of a security's historical price
movements that could be explained by movements in a benchmark index.
6
6. Sharpe index
Sharpe index measures risk premium of a portfolio, relative to the total amount of risk in the
portfolio. Sharpe index summarizes the risk and return of a portfolio in a single measure that
categorizes the performance of funds on the risk adjusted basis. The larger the Sharpe’s index
the portfolio over performs the market and vice versa.
6.1. Formula to calculate Sharpe’s measure is:
Where, St = Sharpe’s index Rp= portfolio return, Rf= Risk free rate of return (5%) SD=
Standard Deviation of the portfolio.
6.2. Applications of the Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe proportion is frequently used to think about the adjustment in a portfolio's general
hazard return attributes when another advantage or resource class is added to it. For instance,
a portfolio director is thinking about adding a flexible investments allotment to his current
50/50 venture arrangement of stocks and bonds which has a Sharpe proportion of 0.67. In the
event that the new portfolio's assignment is 40/40/20 stocks, securities and an expanded
support investments allotment (maybe a reserve of assets), the Sharpe proportion increments
to 0.87. This demonstrates despite the fact that the support stock investments venture is
dangerous as an independent introduction, it really enhances the hazard return normal for the
consolidated portfolio, and in this way includes a broadening advantage. On the off chance
that the option of the new speculation brought down the Sharpe proportion, it ought not to be
added to the portfolio.
The Sharpe proportion can likewise help clarify whether a portfolio's overabundance returns
are because of savvy speculation choices or a consequence of an excess of hazard. Albeit one
portfolio or reserve can appreciate higher returns than its associates, it is just a decent
speculation if those higher returns don't accompany an abundance of extra hazard. The more
7
prominent a portfolio's Sharpe proportion, the better its hazard balanced execution. A
negative Sharpe proportion shows that a hazard less resource would perform superior to
anything the security being broke down.
7. Treynor’s Index
The Treynor proportion, otherwise called the reward-to-unpredictability proportion, is a
metric for restores that surpass those that may have been picked up on a hazard less
speculation, per every unit of market chance. The Treynor proportion, created by Jack
Treynor, is computed as takes after:
(Normal Return of a Portfolio – Average return of the Risk-Free Rate)/Beta of the Portfolio.
It quantifies portfolio chance as far as beta, which is weighted normal of individual security
beta. The proportion is financial specialists, for who the store speaks to just a small amount of
their aggregate resources. The higher the proportion better is the execution.
At the point when the estimation of the Treynor proportion is high, it means that a speculator
has created exceptional yields on every one of the market dangers he has taken. The Treynor
proportion takes into consideration a comprehension of how every venture inside a portfolio
is performing. It likewise gives the financial specialist a thought of how effectively capital is
being utilized.
8. Alpha
The Jensen's measure is a hazard balanced execution measure that speaks to the arrival on
venture above or beneath that anticipated this metric is likewise generally alluded to as
Jensen's alpha, or just alpha.
The measure of the alpha shows the stock's unsystematic return and its normal return free of
market return. If the fund produces the expected return at the level of risk assumed, the fund
would have an alpha equal to zero. A positive alpha indicates that the manager produced
return greater than expected for the risk taken. Alpha is calculated by comparing the fund’s
actual performance with the risk adjusted expected return.
Jensen's alpha is calculated using the following four variables:
R(i) = the realized return of the portfolio or investment
R(m) = the realized return of the appropriate market index
R(f) = the risk-free rate of return for the time period
B = the beta of the portfolio of investment with respect to the chosen market index
8
Using these variables, the formula for Jensen's alpha is:
Alpha = R(i) - (R(f) + B x (R(m) - R(f))
9. R-squared
R-squared may be an applied math measure that represents the proportion of a fund or
security's movements which will be explained by movements in index. R-squared
values vary from zero to one and square measure unremarkably explicit as percentages
from 0 to 100 percent. An R-squared of 100 percent means that all movements of a
security square measure fully explained by movements within the index. A high R-squared,
between 85th and 100 percent, indicates the fund's performance patterns are in line with the
index. A fund with a low R-squared, at 70th or less, indicates the safety doesn't act very
like the index. If a fund incorporates an R-squared worth of near 100 percent however has a
beta below1, it's presumably giving higher risk-adjusted returns.
10. Portfolio turnover ratio
Portfolio turnover is a measure of how habitually resources inside a store are purchased and
sold by the chiefs. Portfolio turnover is ascertained by taking either the aggregate sum of new
securities obtained or the measure of securities sold - whichever is less - over a specific
period, separated by the aggregate Net Asset Value of the reserve. The estimation is typically
detailed for a year day and age. The portfolio turnover estimation ought to be considered by a
speculator before choosing to buy a given shared store or comparable money related
instrument. All things considered, a firm with a high turnover rate will acquire more
exchange costs than a reserve with a lower rate. Unless the prevalent resource choice renders
benefits that counterbalance the additional exchange costs they cause, a less dynamic
exchanging stance may produce higher store returns.
Moreover, cost cognizant store speculators should observe that the value-based business
charge costs are excluded in the count of a reserve's working cost proportion and in this way
speak to what can be, in high-turnover portfolios, a noteworthy extra cost that diminishes
venture return.

INDUSTRY PROFILE AND COMPANY PROFILE
2.1. INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUND
A Mutual Fund gets investment from investors and invests it on behalf of the investors into
diversified Securities thus providing investors with both diversification of their portfolio and
professional management of their funds. Mutual fund may launch many such mutual funds to
investment in different sectors and different combination of factors namely developing
market companies, or new age companies, stable and very minimal risk sectors, high risk and
high return sectors etc.
A mutual fund invests in stocks, bonds, options, money market securities, and commodities,
to name a few depending on the fund’s investment objectives. An investor may choose from
many different mutual funds currently in the market based on his or her risk profile and
investment criteria. Mutual fund is an ideal investment route for individuals who are not
aware or well aware of the investing techniques, limited or no financial literacy regards to
investment tools, techniques and hence cannot invest in the equity or other financial
instruments directly. Investor can invest directly in a mutual fund or hire the services of a
mutual fund advisor.
Over the past decade, mutual funds have increasingly become the investor’s vehicle of choice
for long term investing. As of late, the rising pattern in the common store industry is the
forceful development of the remote claimed shared reserve organizations and the decrease of
the organizations glided by nationalized banks and little private segment players.
What is a Mutual Fund?
Mutual fund is the most popular investment avenue for general public or retail investors.
These are simple to understand and easy to invest compared to other investment options
available in the financial markets. A Mutual Fund pools the funds contributed by a number of
investors who may share a common profile on their investment choice which primarily
concerns with risk taking ability and return expected and the size of investment is also
comparatively smaller. The primary concerns of the small investors the security of their
investment.
10
The cash hence gathered is then put resources into capital market instruments, for example,
offers, debentures and different securities. These funds are like baskets where each basket
holds a certain type of instruments or a blend of multiple instruments like stocks, bonds or a
combination of stocks and bonds for one portfolio. The wage earned through these ventures
and the capital gratefulness acknowledged is shared by its unit holders in extent to the
quantity of units possessed by them Thus a Mutual Fund is 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.
The value of investment is calculated on a day to day basis and the same value is reported
using Net Asset Value as declared by the fund house. This NAV can change due to change in
the value of bond and equity market and therefore a diversified portfolio would balance out
the risk where some stocks may be doing very well and some not so well. The fund managers
make alteration in the portfolio time to time secure higher return as compare to the other
financial assets.
The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a Mutual fund.
2.2. Mutual Fund Operation Flow Chart

2.3. Organization structure of a Mutual Fund Company
Sponsors – One or more persons who come together to establish a mutual fund and
register the same with Securities and Exchange Board of the respective country. For
e.g. in India it is SEBI. The person(s) may also consider setting the mutual fund
jointly with another corporate. Sponsor’s track record of staying actively engaged
with the stock market along with running profitable operations will be considered
while evaluating the registration.
The sponsors then form a Trust as per the Trust Act in the respective country. In India
the Trust Act of 1882 is used for the formation of trust. Mutual Fund is also the trust
which holds the investments. A trust deed is prepared detailing the intended activities
of the trust with the underlying principles and actions needed to protect the interest of
investors is filed with Securities and Exchange Board.
Trustees –Sponsors then appoint the Trustees who chief responsibility is to protect
the financial interests of the mutual fund holders. As a rule there will be restrictions to
appoint trustees who are connected with Sponsor. In India, 2/3rd of Trustees should
not be connected with Sponsors and are addressed as Independent directors.
Asset Management Company (AMC) –Asset Management Company is
appointed by the Trustees as the investment manager of the Mutual Fund. The AMC
can in turn appoint the Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Mutual Fund.
Registrar & Transfer Agent –The registrar and transfer agent stay in touch with
the investors and periodically share reports or account statements.
Custodian – The custodian is a bank, a trust company, or an agent who holds and
safeguards investor’s mutual funds.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE OF MUTUAL FUND
2.4. Advantages and disadvantages of Mutual Funds
2.4.1. Advantages of Mutual funds:
Professional Management - The essential preferred standpoint of assets is the expert
administration of your cash. Financial specialist's buy reserves since they don't have
room schedule-wise or the aptitude to deal with their own portfolio. A Mutual Fund is
a moderately economical route for a little financial specialist to get a full-time trough
to make and screen speculations.
Diversification - by owning partakes in a Mutual Fund as opposed to owning singular
stocks or securities, owning shares in a Mutual Fund as opposed to owning singular
stocks or securities spreads out your hazard. The thought behind expansion is to put
resources into a substantial number of advantages with the goal that a misfortune in a
specific speculation is limited by picks up in others. As it were, the more stocks and
bonds you claim, the less any of them can hurt you. Substantial common supports
13
ordinarily claim several distinct stocks in a wide range of businesses. A speculator
wouldn't be able to fabricate this sort of portfolio with a little measure of cash.
Economies of Scale - Because a shared reserve purchases and offers a lot of
securities at any given moment, its exchange costs are lower than you as an individual
would pay.
Liquidity - Just like an individual stock, a common store enables you to ask for that
your offers be changed over into money whenever.
Simplicity – Buying a shared store is simple! Really well any bank has its own
particular line of common assets, and the base speculation is little. Most organizations
additionally have programmed buy designs whereby as meager as $100 can be
contributed on a month to month premise.
2.4.2. Disadvantages of Mutual Funds:
Poor Management – Did you see how we qualified the upside of expert
administration with the word" hypothetically"? Numerous financial specialists banter
about whether or not the alleged experts are any superior to you or I at picking stocks.
Administration is in no way, shape or form trustworthy, and, regardless of whether the
reserve loses cash, the director still takes his/her cut.
Costs - Mutual Funds don't exist exclusively to make your life less demanding all
assets are in it for a benefit. The shared reserve industry is awesome at purchasing
costs under layers of language. These expenses are complicated to the point that in
this instructional exercise we have given a whole segment to the subject
Dilution - It's conceivable to have excessively expansion. Since stores have little
possessions in such a large number of various organizations, exceptional yield from a
couple of ventures regularly don't have much effect on the general return. Weakening
likewise the aftereffect of a win finance getting too enormous. At the point when cash
14
fills subsidizes that have had solid achievement, the chief regularly experiences
difficulty finding a decent speculation for all the new organization.
Taxes - when profiting, subsidize supervisors don't think about your own duty
circumstance. For instance, when a reserve administrator offers a security, a capital-
pick up charge is activated, which influences how productive the individual is from
the deal. It may have been more invaluable for the person to concede the capital
additions risk. Amid an average year, most effectively oversaw common assets offer
somewhere in the range of 20 to 70% of the securities in their portfolios. In the event
that your store makes a benefit on its business, you will pay imposes on the pay you
get, regardless of whether you reinvest the cash you made.
2.5. Mutual Funds have their drawbacks and may not be for everyone:
No Guarantees: No investment is risk free. On the off chance that the whole
securities exchange decreases in esteem, the estimation of common reserve offers will
go down also, regardless of how adjusted the portfolio. Investors encounter fewer
risks when they invest in mutual funds than when they buy and sells stocks on their
own. In any case, any individual who contributes through a common store risks losing
cash.
Charges and commissions: All assets charge authoritative charges to cover their
everyday costs. Some funds also charge sales commission or “loads” to compensate
brokers, financial consultants, or financial planners. Even if you don’t use a broker or
other financial adviser, you will pay a sales commission if you buy shares in a Load
Funds
Management Risk: When an individual invest in Mutual Fund, depend on the fund’s
manager to make the right decisions regarding the fund’s portfolio. If the manager
does not perform as well individual had hoped, he might not make as much money on
individual investment as he expected. Of course, if individual invest in Index Funds,
he forego management risk, because these funds do not employ managers.

plans by and large put resources into settled salary securities, for example, securities,
corporate debentures, Government securities and currency showcase instruments.
Such subsidizes are less risky than contrast of equity schemes. These funds are not
affected because of fluctuation in equity markets. However, opportunities of capital
appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds affected because
of change in interest rates in the country. On the off chance that the financing costs
fall, NAVs of such subsidizes are probably going to increment in the short run and the
other way around. Nonetheless, long haul investors may not make a fuss over these
variances.
iii. Balanced Fund or Hybrid Fund or Asset Allocation Funds
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 acceptable for investors looking for moderate

no default risk. NAVs of these schemes also fluctuate due to change in interest rates
and other economic factor as is the case with income or debt oriented schemes.

index, S&P NSE 50 index (Nifty), etc. These schemes invest in the securities in the
same weightings comprising of an index. NAVs of these plans likewise vary because
of progress in financing costs and other monetary factor similar to the case with wage

segments or enterprises as indicated in the offer archives e.g. Pharmaceuticals,
programming, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, and so

parts/ventures. While these assets may give higher returns, they are more dangerous
contrasted with enhanced assets. Financial specialists need to keep a watch on the
execution of those divisions/ventures and should exit at a proper time. They may
likewise look for counsel of a specialist.

arrangements of the Income Tax Act.1962 as the administration offers impose

who offer their units for repurchase the common store will get just Rs.9.90 per unit.
The financial specialists should mull over the heaps while making venture as these
influence their yields/returns. Nonetheless, the financial specialists ought to likewise
consider the execution reputation and administration gauges of the common reserve,
which are more imperative. Proficient assets may give higher returns regardless of
burdens.
A no-heap finance is one that does not charge for passage or exit. It implies the
financial specialists can enter the reserve/plot at NAV and no extra charges are
payable on buy or offer of units.

Guaranteed return plans are those plans that guarantee a particular come back to the
unit holders regardless of execution of the plan. A plan can't guarantee returns unless

Evaluating Performance
Repurchase or “Back-end” Load is a charge gathered by a plan when it purchases back the
units from the unit-holders?

2.8. Evaluating Performance
Perhaps you've got detected those mutual fund ads that quote amazingly high one-year rates
of return? Your first thought could be, "wow, that mutual fund did great!" Well, yes it did
great last year, but then you look at the three-year performance, which is lower, and also the
five years, which is yet even lower. What’s the underlying story here? Let's inspect associate
actual example from a large mutual fund's performance:
1-year return – 53%
3-year return – 20%
5-year return – 11%
First year, this mutual fund had excellent performance, returning 53 to investors. But, over
the past 3 years the common annual return was just 200th. What did the fund return in years 1
and 2 to bring the average return down to 20%? Simple math shows North American country
that the fund made an average return of 3.5% over those 1st 2 years: 200th = (53% + 3.5% +
3.5%)/3. Since this 3.5% figure is merely an average, it is very doable that the fund lost
money in one or more of those years.
21
It gets more dismal if we glance at the five-year performance. We know that in the last year
the fund returned 53 and in years two {and three and three} we have a tendency to area unit
guessing it returned around 3.5%. So, what happened in years 4 and 5 to bring the average
return all the way down to just 11%? again, by doing some simple calculations we find that
the fund must have lost money, on average -2.5% each year of those 2 years: Martina’s =
(53% + 3.5% + 3.5% - 2.5% - 2.5%)/5. with that in mind the fund's performance does not
look quite therefore spectacular.
2.9. There are 5 ways to evaluate performance of mutual fund

selected amount of your time. It’s knowing check the trade leadership position of
the investment company. Quality of the stocks within the portfolio would mirror in
returns thus within the performance. Qualitative statistics and historical performance
of mutual funds would facilitate evaluating the performance.

that a bigger fluctuation in expected come
back. High standard deviation from relative
stock indices, as their portfolio
managers create aggressive bets in an
attempt to come up with higher-than-
average returns. A lower standard
deviation is not essentially desirable. It all
depends on the type of investments one

volatility and their overall investment
objectives. A lot of aggressive investors is

Nursing investment strategy that opts for
vehicles with higher-than-average
volatility, whereas a lot of conservative
investors might not.
If beta is >1 then the stock is riskier than
45
Beta
the market, if beta <1 then the stock is less
risky than the market. If beta is =1 then the
stock is volatile, if beta=0 then as risky as
the market is. A security's beta should only
be used when a security has a high R-
squared value in relation to the benchmark.
Jensen's alpha
The higher the alpha, a lot of the stock
has earned on top of the amount expected.
To accurately Associate in Nursingalyze
the performance of an investment

back of a portfolio, however conjointly at
the of that portfolio to examine. If the

tone system come back, a

that’s less risky. Jensen's measure is one in
every of the ways that to work out if a
portfolio is earning the correct come
back for its level of risk. If the worth is
positive, then the portfolio is earning
excess returns. In alternative words, a
positive worth for Jensen's alpha means
that a fund manager has "beat the market" a
long with his stock selecting skills.

developments of a security are totally
clarified by developments in list, 85-100%
means the assets' execution designs have
been in accordance with the record, <70%
46
demonstrates that the stock does not act
much like the file.
Portfolio turnover ratio

value-based expenses because of incessant
purchase and offer of benefits inside the
store. Cost cognizant reserve speculators
should observe that the value-based
financier charge costs are excluded in the
estimation of a store's working cost
proportion and in this way speak to what
can be, in high-turnover portfolios, a
noteworthy extra cost that diminishes
venture return.
Sharpe Index
The larger the Sharpe index, the portfolio
over performs the market and if the lower
the sharp index, the portfolio under
performs the market.
Treynor's index
The higher the proportion, better is the
execution. At the point when the estimation
of the Treynor proportion is high, it means
that a financial specialist has created

CHAPTER 5
FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION
FINDINGS
Through combinations of my study I learnt working of mutual fund in market. Mutual fund
pools amount from small investors and invest in various securities by doing this it gives small
investors benefit of access to stock market investment and reasonable return. Investors in a
mutual fund may perhaps contribute investors an optimal of diverse combinations of
overheads by means of offering several different categories of share classes.
Standard Deviation – higher standard deviation means greater fluctuation in
expected return and in comparison with relative indices, this also demonstrates
aggressive bets the portfolio managers make in order to deliver higher than expected
returns. Standard deviation values are pretty close between FMCG and Large cap
funds except for Reliance Large Cap fund. However the FMCG funds have delivered
a superior rate of return both for 3yr and less for 5yrs period.
Beta - If beta is >1 then the stock is riskier than the market, if beta <1 then the stock
is less risky than the market. If beta is =1 then the stock is volatile, if beta=0 then as
risky as the market is. The FMCG funds seem to have a higher risk in comparison to
the long term funds with the exception of ICICI Prudence Balance Fund in large cap.
A security's beta should be used along with R-squared value in relation to the
benchmark.
Alpha – The higher the alpha, higher is the earnings of the stock in comparison to the
levels predicted. FMCG funds have a mixed bag where SBI is going aggressive with a
higher risk and higher return and a higher volatility. ICICI is delivering a less in
interest but at a much lower risk. On the long term funds Reliance Large Cap Funds
and ICICI Prudential Balanced Large Cap Funds is going aggressive with high
volatility, higher risk but returns are comparatively lower than all the funds.
60
R-Squared – R-squared of 100% means all movements of a security are completely
explained by movements in index, 85-100% means the fund’s performance patterns
have been in line with the index, <70% indicates that the stock does not act much like
the index. SBI and ICICI Prudence FMCG Fund have a rate indicating that their
performance patterns are not much like the comparable index and in this case the BSE
Index. Both these funds have delivered a superior return but ICICI Prudence FMCG
fund manager is delivering a superior return at a lower risk and with an investment
strategy that is not quite like the other funds or the market index.
Sharpe’s Index – The larger the index, the portfolio is over performing than the
market. ICICI Prudence Balance Long Cap has a very high and clearly is the winner
as per this index.
Treynor’s Ratio - The higher the ratio, better is the performance. When the value of
the Treynor ratio is high, it is an indication that an investor has generated high returns
on each of the market risks he has taken. The Treynor ratio allows for an
understanding of how each investment within a portfolio is performing. It also gives
the investor an idea of how efficiently capital is being used. SBI is consistently doing
well in this index like the other with a higher Treynor’s index.

SUGGESTIONS
The hypothesis we set to prove in this study is Long term equity funds deliver a much higher
return in the long term(5yrs for this study) in comparison to Large Cap funds. However I am
not able to establish this for a fact. Large Cap funds have delivered superior returns and the
category averages are also comparable to FMCG funds. There is no pattern I am able to
establish for a sector to say some of the indices are behaving very different for the sector in
comparison to the other sector.
Investors should be well-convinced and adequate information to be given.
Relative market strength is one of the parameters investors have to think before
investing as under the study we have seen its importance.
Agent provides necessary transparent information for the investors and hence investors
are suggested to hold back their investment for a long time and not to sell, as it will
provide better result.
All the parameters is needed to be considered by the investors as there is larger impact
of global cues on Indian market.
Investors should invest in Equity diversified Fund as there is no restriction maximum
gain from the investment. It is used for retirement planning, saving for child education
or marriage whew as Equity Linked Saving Scheme is a tax saving mutual fund which
have a 3 year lock period. Here investor cannot sell the units before the 3 years expire.

CONCLUSION
Mutual funds are one of the most highly growing funds in the market. Mutual funds are
suitable for all types of investors from risk adverse and risk bearer. Mutual funds are suitable
to all age of investors. A mutual funds brings a large group of people and invest their
aggregated money in bonds and securities. They are easy to buy and sell. You can either buy
them directly from the fund company or through a third party According to the survey and
from the investor’s point of view, the investors are aware of the different schemes, majority
of the investors are preferring the SIP investment plan which is not risky and it’s easy to
manage in the daily basis. As per the mutual funds and according to the investors nearly half
of the investors are crossed 50 to 60 plus and also, they have schemes for senior citizen. The
starting rate to investing in icici bank starting is 2500per month as per icici prudential mutual
fund schemes. Therefore, the mutual funds play a vital role in the invertor’s point of view
which can be invested from a quite sum amount and which gives a benefit as a lump sum of
profits whereas majority of the investors are expecting high profit and to earn profit.
Investors should try to make changes in their portfolio during market volatility. However, a
little caution can help investors. Mutual fund advisors suggest that if your risk appetite and
investment horizon allows you, you can invest in small and midcap space anytime. “It is
always a good time to start investing but if are planning to invest in a small cap scheme,
make sure you have an investment horizon of close to 10 years,” says Vishal Dhawan in an
economic times article.

CHAPTER 6
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The experience of working as an intern at Dvija Digital Pvt. Ltd. was fascinating and the
experience I got was enough to understand regarding the stock market in India. An internship
project is the essential part of the course mainly to gain knowledge about the working
environment at the company and industry level. This helps us to get a clear picture on the
corporate world and how important is work life balance.
Working as on a project of stock market enabled me understand some important aspects of
Finance such as funds trading in stock market of India, return and risk calculations, the
impact of economic activities on the price fluctuations of stock and the concept of mutual
funds.
At the same time, communication skills, project presentation skills and the ability of multi-
tasking during the working hours is important. To be successful, it is important to be
punctual and honest.
This internship has personally and professionally helped me grow by giving me a real
company environment experience, it has given me the opportunity of networking.
In this report, an attempt is made to analyze the risk and return of FMCG & Large Cap
Mutual Funds for long term by utilizing the statistical tools such as Standard Deviation, Beta,
R-squared, Jensen’s Alpha, Portfolio Turnover Ratio, Sharpe’s Index and Treynor’s Ratio.
