3. INTRODUCTION OF
MUTUAL FUND
• A mutual fund is a type of professionally-managed
collective investment scheme that pools money from
many investors to purchase securities. While there is no
legal definition of mutual fund, the term is most
commonly applied only to those collective investment
schemes that are regulated, available to the general
public and open-ended in nature. Hedge funds are not
considered a type of mutual fund.

13. S-W-O-T Analysis
• Strengths
• The main deciding factor in buying a mutual fund is the
performance record of its managers and analysts. In
SWOT analysis, examples of strengths include when a
fund has outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 index
consistently or even an index fund that has performed as
well or better than the index it clones. Other strengths
have to do with the fees charged for investing in mutual
funds.
14. Contd……
• If there is no load, meaning no fees to buy
into the fund, and the expense ratio is no
larger than 1.5 percent of the fund's
assets under management, count these
as strengths.
15. Weaknesses
• Just as good management performance is considered a
strength, weaknesses can include instances in which the
longtime portfolio manager announces plans to retire or
a new fund manager is hired. Inconsistent performance
over time, with some years outperforming the S&P 500
and others significantly underperforming, is another
weakness. This often indicates a fund that is managed to
carry higher risk. If the returns in good years more than
make up for minor losses or lackluster performance
during bad years, consider its risk profile a strength only
if you are a risk investor.
16. Opportunities
• Mutual funds that invest in emerging technologies or
markets, such as China and India, present opportunities
to outperform the S&P 500. Judging these opportunities
requires a look at the performance history of the fund
manager and analysts. Opportunities, as they relate to
mutual funds, concern the outlook for the particular
market sector they emphasize.
17. Threats
• A long-maturity bond fund bought just before interest
rates rise is an example of a threat because low-coupon
bonds register large losses when interest rates rise.
Investments in companies in new industries or located in
politically unstable areas of the world qualify as threats,
as do bad historical performance and the sudden
departure of the investment manager.
18. Objective of SIP
• To assist Kotak Mahindra Bank by
achieving the targets set by them.
• To apply the concepts learnt in PGDM 1st
year in practical business world.
• To get an insider knowledge in term of

20. CONCLUSION
• A mutual fund brings together a group of people and invests their
money in stocks, bonds, and other securities.
• The advantages of mutuals are professional management,
diversification, economies of scale, simplicity and liquidity.
• The disadvantages of mutuals are high costs, over-diversification,
possible tax consequences, and the inability of management to
guarantee a superior return.
• There are many, many types of mutual funds. You can classify
funds based on asset class, investing strategy, region, etc.
• Mutual funds have lots of costs.
• Costs can be broken down into ongoing fees (represented by the
expense ratio) and transaction fees (loads).
21. CONTD……

and fees.

buy them directly from the fund company or through a
third party.
