Summary: “Mutual funds are an emerging and popular investment option. They
were established to pool the resources of small investors and capital markets to aid
industrialization. The mutual fund industry imparts formal identity, provides access
to the payments system as well as to a savings safety net. More recently, the Indian
government has focussed on establishing the basic right of every person to have access
to affordable basic financial services offered by banking and non-banking companies.
Dr. Sekhar presents an overview of investment patterns for both public and private
sector mutual funds, and analyses the performance of selected schemes using various
measures of risk. He traces the trend in growth of mutual funds and the changes in
regulatory measures of the mutual fund industry in India. He examines the factors
influencing the resource mobilization patterns of mutual funds during the
post-liberalization period and makes projections up to 2020. He examines ! the
investment behaviour of mutual funds and evaluates the performance of various
schemes of mutual funds by employing Sharpe, Treynor and Jenson models. He also
suggests suitable measures for the strengthening of mutual funds in India. The book
offers comprehensive knowledge on the mutual fund industry in India and provides
ready-made practical information for investors.”— Provided by publisher.
