A mutual fund is a mechanism for pooling money by issuing units to the investors and investing funds in securities in accordance with objectives as disclosed in the offer document.
Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is diversified because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual funds issue units to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unit holders.
The profits or losses are shared by investors in proportion to their investments. Mutual funds normally come out with a number of schemes which are launched from time to time with different investment objectives. A mutual fund is required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) before it can collect funds from the public.

If you have a Demat account with ACMIIL, monthly demat statements will be sent to your correspondence address registered with us.

Different investment avenues are available to investors. Mutual funds also offer good investment opportunities to investors. Like all investments, they also carry certain risks.
The investors should compare the risks and expected returns after adjustment of tax on various instruments while taking investment decisions. The investors may seek advice from experts while making investment decisions.
With an objective to make the investors aware of the functioning of mutual funds, an attempt has been made to provide information in question-answer format which may help the investors in making investment decisions.
Mutual funds are a vital tool to ensure your financial well-being. They help you to get better returns even from relatively smaller investment amounts, and are quite flexible in nature. Whether you want to invest a small amount at regular intervals or a big lump sum amount at once, you will find a mutual fund product suitable for your needs. With options like SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) and SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan), mutual funds can help you plan for short-term as well as long-term goals and financial liabilities.

Any category/type of investor can invest in Mutual Funds, so long as the basic eligibility requirements like possessing the appropriate documents, account details and completing the KYC process are taken care of.

There are three ways in which you can classify mutual funds, according to their structure, their objective and the sectors they invest in. Here’s a quick round-up of mutual fund categories for all three classifications.

Structure-based

Open-Ended Schemes: Schemes without a fixed maturity period, that let you subscribe for or redeem units any time. They offer the benefit of liquidity.

Close Ended Schemes: Close Ended Schemes: Schemes with a fixed maturity period, which are open for subscription for a specified duration during the launch, and allow you to invest in them from 3-10 years. After the launch, interested investors can buy or sell units of the scheme on stock exchanges where they are listed. As an exit route, closed mutual funds necessarily have to offer either a repurchase at market value, for a specific time frame or allow trading of units on stock exchanges.

Interval Schemes: A combination of open-ended and close-ended schemes, interval schemes are open for sale and repurchase only during a specific duration.

Objective-based

Growth Schemes: Schemes that invest in equities and are designed to offer maximum growth over the medium and long term, ideal for investors who are in their prime earning years. These schemes are comparatively high risk and offer investors options like capital appreciation and dividend option.

Income Schemes: These schemes invest in fixed income securities are less risky, and a good option for investors who want to generate steady income streams.

Balanced Schemes:  Investments are done in equity and debt securities to generate regular income and moderate growth. They invest 40% and 60% in equity and debt respectively, and their NAVs are likely to be less volatile than those of pure equity schemes.

Liquid Schemes: Safe, short term instrument investments to generate quick returns while still offering liquidity. Returns on these schemes fluctuate much less as compared to other funds and they are a good option for individual investors who want to park their surplus funds.

Gilt Funds: For investors who are looking for extremely safe investments, these schemes invest only in government bonds and securities. While these schemes have no default risk, their NAVs still fluctuate as a result of a change in interest rates and other economic factors.

Tax Saving Schemes:  Investments in funds that offer a tax deduction or whose returns in the form of dividends are not taxed. These tax rebates are offered by the government to incentivize investments. The funds are mainly invested in equities and growth and opportunities associated with tax saving schemes are similar to those of equity schemes.

Index Funds: These funds invest exactly according to the portfolio and weight of a specific stock exchange index. Their NAVs rise and fall according to the changes in the index, with a slight difference in percentage. These could also be Exchange-traded Funds (ETFs), which get traded on stock exchanges.

Special Schemes

Sector Specific Funds: Invest in funds of companies based on certain sectors that are booming or are expected to do well in light of the prevalent market situations. The returns of these funds depend on how the sector performs, and it is important to track sectors carefully, or seek help from an expert while investing in these funds. Though high on returns, these funds tend to be more risky as compared to diversified funds.

Yes NRI’s can invest in Mutual fund in India.  All details about the regulations and procedures for NRI investments in a particular scheme are available in the offer document of that mutual fund scheme.

An investor must mention clearly his name, address, number of units applied or such other information as required in the application form. He must give his bank account number so as to avoid any fraudulent encashment, cheque,draft issued by mutual fund at-later date for purpose dividend or repurchase any changes in the address bank account number etc at-later date should be informed to mutual fund immediately.

You will receive it within a week time AMC sent account statement on the address available in CKYC database.

According to SEBI regulations, transfer of units needs to get done within thirty days from the date of lodgement of certificates with the mutual fund.

• Advertisements in leading newspapers
• Websites of mutual fund companies
• Agents and distributors of mutual funds
• Banks and post offices that function as distributors of mutual funds

Remember that banks and post offices are not responsible for the performance of the funds they distribute and it is always advisable to track performance of funds before investing rather than relying on agents and distributors who give you gifts or incentives to invest in a particular fund.

The performance of your mutual fund is reflected in its Net Asset Value (NAV), which is declared at the end of every business day. These are accessible on the website of the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), where it is mandatory by law, as well as on the fund’s own website. The mutual fund company also has a legal obligation to publish an annual report as well as a half-yearly report on the performance of their mutual funds. Some mutual fund companies may send this out to investors too. Apart from NAV, a ratio of the mutual fund’s returns / yields tracked across time periods ranging from the last 6 months, I year, 3 years, 5 years and since inception is used as a performance measure. Apart from these, various studies are published by financial newspapers and research agencies which provide insights on the performance of funds as well as their ranking in terms of performance. These could be looked at to track performance and you could even compare fund performance with that of other funds in the same category to judge how well it is doing.

An NFO or New Fund offer is a new opportunity for investor to invest. An NFO could be the offer for a new mutual fund scheme that is being launched by the company, and alternately, the NFO could also be the launch of additional units of existing close-ended funds, that are available for investing.

Yes, . A nominee can be appointed by individuals who hold mutual fund units jointly or singly. However non-individuals including society, trust, body corporate, partnership firm, Kata of Hindu undivided family , holder of Power of Attorney cannot appoint a nominee.

This fixed deposit is ideal for investors willing to grow their wealth without having to depend on interest payouts at periodic intervals. The final payout of the principal plus the interest amount will be subject to tax deductions wherever applicable.
In a non-cumulative fixed deposit scheme, the interest earned on the principal amount is payable on monthly/quarterly/semiannually/yearly depending on the convenience and wishes of the investor. This scheme works for investors who need interest payments on a periodic basis.
Here’s how the interest amount will change when you choose a Cumulative vs. a Non-Cumulative FD:

When an unlisted company makes either a fresh issue of securities or offers its existing securities for sale or both for the first time to the public, it is called an IPO. This paves the way for listing and trading of the issuer’s securities in the Stock Exchanges.

You can easily find ongoing and upcoming new IPO’s on exchange websites.
ACMIIL provides product notes, prospectus & research report well in advance prior to new IPO issue.

Stocks or shares of a company are offered to general public for the first time, in the form of an IPO. The Company will raise capital for the first time and it will be listed in the stock exchange. To complete the process of converting a private company into a successful public company, it will need a team of external expert advisors like auditors, lawyers, underwriters and accountants to deal with the unique challenges which come their way.

Limited capital up to Rs.15000, which can be arranged easily
Convenient to invest – broker, net banking etc with ASBA facility
Refund within 3-10 workings days for non-allotment of shares through ECS.

Not all IPOs are open to general public. The underwriters decide the category of people whom they want to invest in their Company. So, there are three kinds of applicants,
Retail Individual Investor (RII) – if you are an investor who applies for small value of shares
Non-Qualified Institutional Investor (NII) – if you are an investor who applies for large value of shares and you do not qualify as Qualified Institutional Buyer category. They include Companies, NRIs, Corporate entities, Trusts, and Societies.
Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB)– the investor who bids for securities is a financial institution which is declared as companies in the section 4A of the Companies Act or a foreign institutional investor who is registered with SEBI.

To apply to an IPO you have to fill an IPO application form
You need to have a demat account
Active bank account linked to demat account for fund blocking

Investors are broadly classified under following categories:
Retail individual Investor (RIIs)
Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs)
Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs)
“Retail individual investor” means an investor who applies or bids for securities for a value of not more than Rs. 2, 00,000

The price band is a band of price within which investors can bid. The spread between the floor and the cap of the price band shall not be more than 20%. The price band can be revised. If revised, the bidding period shall be extended for a further period of three days, subject to the total bidding period not exceeding thirteen days.

Based on demand at various prices, the Issuer Company, in consultation with BRLMs decides the final price of the offer. The price thus finalized is called the discovered price.

As the name suggests, a “Fixed Price Issue” is an initial public offering (IPO) where the issuer at the outset decides the issue price & mentions it in the offer document.
It is a process of price discovery. In a “Book Built Issue” the price of an issue is discovered on the basis of demand received from the prospective investors at various price levels.

A Bid-lot is the pre-determined number of shares which have to be applied for by an investor. It is different for each issue. There is a minimum lot size which is pre-decided by the company and mentioned in the application form. Eg: Minimum bid lot in IPO of XYZ co. – 10 Bid-lot Multiples of 10 Price Band – 100-120. It means that a retail investor cannot apply for less than 10 shares in that particular issue. The application for more than 10 shares has to be in multiples of 10 like 20,30,40,etc

A retail investor can bid at any price within the price band or can bid at cut-off. “Cut-off price” means the investor is ready to pay whatever price is decided by the company at the end of the book building process. While making the application at Cut off, the investor is required to pay the amount at the highest price band. The excess amount, in case the price discovered is lower, is refunded. Cut-off option can be exercised only by Retail Investors and Employees of the issuing company applying in the Employee Category.

Pricing of an issue where one category is offered shares at a price different from the other category is called differential pricing. In DIP Guidelines differential pricing is allowed only if the securities to applicants in the firm allotment category is at a price higher than the price at which the net offer to the public is made. The net offer to the public means the offer made to the Indian public and does not include firm allotments or reservations or promoters’ contributions.

Presently, in issues made through book building, Issuers and merchant bankers are required to ensure online display of the demand and bids during the bidding period. This is the Open book system of book building. Here, the investor can be guided by the movements of the bids during the period in which the bid is kept open. Under closed book building, the book is not made public and the bidders will have to take a call on the price at which they intend to make a bid without having any information on the bids submitted by other bidders.

Hard underwriting is when an underwriter agrees to buy his commitment at its earliest stage. The underwriter guarantees a fixed amount to the issuer from the issue. Thus, in case the shares are not subscribed by investors, the issue is devolved on underwriters and they have to bring in the amount by subscribing to the shares. The underwriter bears a risk which is much higher in soft underwriting.

Once the subscription closes, one can make out probability of allotment.
e.g. XYZ ltd. issues IPO with lot size of 60, let’s assume that retail subscription was 5 times after closure.
So it’s clear that people who applied for 5 lots will definitely get atleast 1, but for those who applied for less than 5 lots it will be done on lottery basis. i.e. for those who applied for say 1 lot 1 of every 5 will get allotment.

Yes. The investor can change or revise the quantity or price in the bid using the form for changing/revising the bid that is available along with the application form. However, the entire process of changing of revising the bids shall be completed within the date of closure of the issue.

You can check the allotment of shares in your Demat account linked to ACMIIL trading account on date of IPO order.

The Initial Public Offering does not trigger any taxation. Taxes only apply when you sell the shares. Any gains over your cost-basis are taxed as capital gains. If you sell shares you have owned for less than 12 months for a profit, those gains are categorized as short-term gains. More than 12 months is considered long term
The rate that applies depends on all of the gains and losses incurred during the tax year. Net short-term gains are taxed at the same rate ordinary income would be. Net long-term gains are taxed at lower rates.

The refund amount will be either directly credited to the Bank account linked with your DP account or will be mailed by the Registrar in the form of Refund Cheque to the address mentioned in your DP account. It usually takes 3 to 10 days to get IPO refunds after IPO allotments are done by the registrar of the IPO.

As per current norms, the newly issued share has to be listed on or before the 12th working day after the issue is closed. Working backwards, this would generally mean that the allotment process and uploading of the shares, sending of refunds etc. have to be completed within 10 working days from the date of closure of the issue.

Lead managers are independent financial institution appointed by the company going public. Companies appoint more than one lead manager to manage big IPO’s. They are known as Book Running Lead Manager and Co Book Running Lead Managers.
Their main responsibilities are to initiate the IPO processing, help company in road shows, creating draft offer document and get it approve by SEBI and stock exchanges and helping company to list shares at stock market.

No, one person cannot apply multiple times through multiple applications for an IPO. It’s a rule and if you apply in an IPO though multiple applications with same name or same demat account or same PAN Number, all of your application will be rejected.
