Chap 9 SUMMARY OF MUTUAL FUND 9A.3 9.8 DIVIDEND EQUALISATION - New investors are not entitled to any share of the income of a mutual fund scheme which arose before they bought their units. However, at the end of each distribution period the fund management allocates the same amount from the income of the fund to each unit. To compensate for this an equalisation payment is added to the cost of new units. This is the amount of income that has arisen up to the date of purchase of the unit. Because these payments are included in the amount available for distribution they are effectively repaid to the purchaser. The purchaser's dividend voucher at the end of the first distribution period should show the amount of the returned equalisation payment.

Chap 9 MUTUAL FUND 9B.13 9.8 DIVIDEND EQUALISATION ICAI RTP ICWA ICSI M-09 M-06 N-15 M-08 New investors are not entitled to any share of the income of a mutual fund scheme which arose before they bought their units. However, at the end of each distribution period the fund management allocates the same amount from the income of the fund to each unit. To compensate for this an equalisation payment is added to the cost of new units. This is the amount of income that has arisen up to the date of purchase of the unit. Because these payments are included in the amount available for distribution they are effectively repaid to the purchaser. The purchaser's dividend voucher at the end of the first distribution period should show the amount of the returned equalisation payment. In the case of an open ended scheme, when units are sold an appropriate part of the sale proceeds should be credited to an Equalisation Account and when units are repurchased an appropriate amount should be debited to Equalisation Account. The net balance on this account should be credited or debited to the Revenue Account. The balance on the Equalisation Account debited or credited to the Revenue Account should not decease or increase the net income of the fund but is only an adjustment to the distributable surplus. It should, therefore, be reflected in the Revenue Account only after the net income of the fund is determined. Question-23 [SM] On April 1, 2009 a mutual fund scheme had 9 lakh units of face value Rs. 10 outstanding. The scheme earned Rs.

Solution 9.2.1 Calculation of Net Asset Value of Units of Mutual Fund (a) This is the value per unit of a scheme on a particular day called the valuation day. It is the value of net assets of the fund. The investors' subscription is treated as the capital in the balance sheet of the fund and the investments on their behalf are treated as assets. The NAV is calculated for every scheme of the MF individually. (b) There are three aspects which need to be highlighted: (i) It is the net value of all assets less liabilities. NAV represents the market value of total assets of the Fund less total liabilities attributable to those assets. (ii) NAV changes daily. The value of assets and liabilities changes daily. (iii) NAV is computed as a value per unit of holding. (c) Calculation of NAV of units of Mutual Fund NAV per unit = (Net assets of the scheme)/ Number of units outstanding OR (Value of portfolio of the scheme + other assets of the scheme - Liabilities of the scheme) Number of units outstanding under the scheme Net assets of the scheme = Market value of traded investments + Estimated value of non traded listed securities + Estimated value of unlisted securities + Receivables + Accrued Income + Other Assets - Accrued Expenses - Payables - Other liabilities (d) NAV of M/F Scheme is published on a daily basis in the newspapers and electronic media and play an important role in investors' decision to enter or to exit.

Chap 9 MUTUAL FUND 9B.15 Question-2 [May-2009] [M-5] [May-2007] [M-4] Explain briefly the advantages of investing in mutual funds. Solution The advantages of investing in mutual funds are as under: 1. Professional Management Investors can avail of the services of experienced and skilled professionals, backed by a dedicated investment research team that analyses performance and prospects of companies to select suitable investments. 2. Diversification Mutual funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross section of industries and sectors. Investors achieve this diversification with far less money and risk they could do on their own. 3. Return potential Over a medium to long term, mutual funds have the potential to provide,a higher return as the investments are diversified.. 4. Low costs Mutual funds are a less expensive way to invest as compared with direct investment in the capital market. 5. Liquidity In open-ended schemes, investors get money promptly at NAV from the mutual fund itself. In close-ended schemes, investors- can sell units on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or avail of direct repurchase at NAVrelated prices which some such schemes offer periodically. 6. Transparency Investors get regular information on the value of their investments. Question-3 [May-2010] [M-4] [Nov-2013] [M-4] [RTP-Nov-2015] Briefly explain what is an exchange traded fund Solution Exchange traded Funds(EFTs) were introduced in US in 1993 and came to india around 2002. ETF is a hybrid product that combines the features of an index fund and stock and hence, is also called index shares. These funds are listed on the stock exchanges and their prices are linked to the underlying index. The authorized participants act as markers for ETFs. ETF can be bought and sold like any other stock on exchange. In other words, they can be bought or sold any time during the market hours at prices that are expected to be closer to the NAV at the end of the day. NAV of an EFT is the value of the underlying component of the benchmark index by held by the EFT plus all accrued dividends less accrued management fees. There is no paper work involved for investing in an ETF. These can be bought like any other stock by just placing an order with a broker. Some other important features of ETF are as follows: (a) It gives an investor the benefits of investing in a commodity without physically purchasing the commodity like gold,silver, sugar etc. (b) It is launched by an asset managment company or other entity. (c) The investor doesnot need to physically store the commodity or bear the costs of upkeep which is part of the administrative costs of the fund. (d) An ETF combines the valuation feature of a mutual fund or unit investment trust, which can be bought or sold at the end of each trading day for its net assets value, with the tradability feature of a closed end fund, which trades throughout the trading day at prices that may be more or less than its net assets value. Question-4 [May-2015] [M-4] [Nov-2010] [M-4] Distinguish between Open Ended and Close Ended Schemes Open Ended Scheme do not have maturity period. These schemes are available for subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis. Investor can conveniently buy and sell unit. The price is calculated and declared on daily basis. The calculated price is termed as NAV. The key feature of the scheme is liquidity. Close ended scheme has a stipulated maturity period normally 5 to 10 years. The scheme is open for subscription only during the specified period at the time of launce of the scheme. Investor can invest of at the time of initial issue and there after they can buy or sell from stock exchange where the scheme is listed. To provide an exit rout some close ended schemes give an option of selling bank (repurchase) on the basis of NAV. The NAV is generally declared on weekly basis.

(d) According to the flow of funds statistics published by the RBI, the share of banking sector in filling the resource gap of the corporate sector has declined from 54.42% in 1988-89 to 2.3% in 1991-92, while of the other financial sector (including mutual funds) has increased from '39.9% to 102.58%. Question-6 [Nov-2003] [M-6] Explain how to establish a Mutual Fund. Solution: Establishment of a Mutual Fund: 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. All mutual finds are governed by the same set of regulations and are subject to monitoring and inspections by the SEBI. The Mutual Fund has to be established through the medium of a sponsor. A sponsor means any body corporate who, acting alone or in combination with another body corporate, establishes a mutual fund after completing the formalities prescribed in the SEBI s Mutual Fund Regulations. The sponsor should have a sound track record and general reputation of fairness and integrity in all his business transactions. The Mutual Fund has to be established as either a trustee company or a Trust, under the Indian Trust Act and the instrument of trust shall be in the form of a deed. The deed shall be executed by the sponsor in favour of the trustee named in the instrument of trust. The trust deed shall be duly registered under the provisions of the Indian Registration Act, 1908. The trust deed shall contain clauses specified in the Third Schedule of the Regulations. An Asset Management Company, who holds an approval from SEBI, is to be appointed to manage the affairs of the Mutual Fund and it should operate the schemes of such fund. The Asset Management Company is set up as a limited liability company, with a minimum net worth of Rs. 10 crores. The sponsor should contribute at least 40% to the networth of the Asset Management Company. The Trustee should hold the property of the Mutual Fund in trust for the benefit of the unit holders. SEBI regulations require that at least two-thirds of the directors of the trustee company or board of trustee must be independent, that is, they should not be associated with the sponsors. Also, 50 per cent of the directors of AMC must be independent Question-7 [Nov-2005] [M-8] What are the investors rights & obligations under the Mutual Fund Regulations?
