In the current economic scenario interest rates are falling and fluctuation in the share
market has put investors in confusion. One finds it difficult to take decision on investment.
This is primarily, because of investments that are risky in nature and investors have to
consider various factors before investing in investment avenues.
These factors include risk, return, volatility of shares and liquidity. The main objective
of investment in Equity mutual fund schemes and ETFs is to analyze the performance
evaluation of these funds with their benchmark by using risk, return, beta and alpha as a
parameter.
Historical data were taken for calculating risk, return and beta. Performance of these
funds is also been evaluated using different performance indexes which is used to rank the
different funds used in the study.It also uses Spearmans rank correlation.Compare to ETF,
Equity mutual funds have high risk with high returns as they give the investor a diversified
portfolio. Those who have well knowledge in ETFs, they can go for ETF investments rather
than investing in Equity mutual funds as it has less risk.
ETFs have certain advantages over mutual funds. The units can be purchased easily. It
can be traded in real-time basis. ETF and equity mutual funds offer diversification in the
portfolio.
The study will guide the new investor who wants to invest in Equity mutual fund
schemes and ETFs by providing knowledge about how to measure the risk and return of
particular scrip or mutual fund scheme. The study recommends new investors to go for equity
mutual funds rather than ETFs, as it involves high return.
It was found that ETFs as an investment avenue is less popular and investment
through SIP is gaining popularity in the volatile market.

CHAPTER1
INTRODUCTION
1.1TOPIC: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EQUITY MUTUAL FUNDS
AND ETFS
Like most developed and developing countries the mutual fund cult has been catching on in
India. There are various reasons for this. Mutual funds make it easy and less costly for
investors to satisfy their need for capital growth, income and/or income preservation.
And in addition to this a mutual fund brings the benefits of diversification and money
management to the individual investor, providing an opportunity for financial success that
was once available only to a select few.
It's important to understand that each mutual fund has different risks and rewards. In general,
the higher the potential return, the higher the risk of loss. Although some funds are less risky
than others, all funds have some level of risk. Its never possible to diversifyaway all risk.
Equity mutual funds invest in shares of companies that are listed on the stock exchanges.
ETF is defined as a security that tracks an index, a commodity or a basket of assets like an
index fund but trades like a stock on an exchange and experiences price changes throughout
the day as it is bought and sold. ETF were first launched in 1993 in United States. Their
popularity as a structured product has grown immensely because of the benefits it provides to
investors and traders. The issuance of ETF is just like a primary market IPO or a mutual fund
NFO. Shares are issued by the fund manager and listed on the exchanges. Investors can buy
and sell these shares from the secondary market through their brokers. ETF are often called as
index shares, are a hybrid of index mutual funds and stocks.
ETFs by nature track a certain index (e.g. Nifty). Hence, the returns one can expect from
ETFs will be equal to the rise in the index.The ETFs trading value is based on the net asset
value of the underlying stocks in the target index. Think of it as a Mutual Fund that you can
buy and sell in real time at a price which changes throughout the day.

1.2 Need for the Study:

The study is conducted to understand the concept of ETF and to evaluate the performance of
it, and also to evaluate the performance of equity mutual funds. The study also involves
thecomparison of investment performance of different ETFs and equity mutual funds. It is to
analyse the different types of investment opportunities available these days.

1.3 Objectives of the Study:

To evaluate the performance of Equity mutual funds traded in India
To analyze the risk and return involved in selected ETFs
To study the return of Equity mutual funds and ETFs with their respective
Benchmark indexes
To study the best performing funds using Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen measures.
To compare the performance of Equity mutual funds and ETFs in India.

CHAPTER2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND RESEARCH DESIGN
2.1 Scope of the Study:

The present study includes 5 years average returns of the Equity mutual funds and
ETFs, based on which future of the risks and returns are analyzed to help potential

investors.
The study involves 5 different schemes of equity mutual funds and 5 different

schemes of ETFs.
To evaluate the performance of these schemes. Three performance indexes are used
that is Sharpes, Treynors and Jensens measure.

2.2 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

Mutual Funds
A mutual fund, by its very nature, is diversified that is, its assets are invested in many
different securities.
A mutual fund is a company that pools the money of many investors and its shareholders to
invest in a variety of different securities. Investments may be in stocks, bonds, money market
securities or some combination of those securities are professionally managed on behalf of
the shareholders, and each investor holds a share of the portfolio entitled to any profits when
the securities are sold, but subject to any losses in value as well.

For the individual investor, mutual funds provide the benefit of having someone else manage
your investments and diversify your money over many different securities that may not be
available or affordable to you otherwise. Today, minimum investment requirements on many
funds are low enough that even the smallest investor can get started in mutual funds. Mutual
funds make it easy and less costly for investors to satisfy their need for capital growth,
income and/or income preservation.

Benefits of Mutual Funds:

Professional Investment Management
One of the primary benefits of mutual funds is that an investor has access to professional
management. A good investment manager is certainly worth the fees you will pay. Good
mutual fund managers with an excellent research team can do a better job of monitoring the
companies they have chosen to invest in than you can, unless you have time to spend on
researching the companies you select for your portfolio. That is because Mutual funds hire
full-time, high-level investment professionals. Funds can afford to do so as they manage large
pools of money. The managers have real-time access to crucial market information and are
able to execute trades on the largest and most cost-effective scale. When you buy a mutual
fund, the primary asset you are buying is the manager, who will be controlling which assets
are chosen to meet the funds' stated investment objectives.
Diversification
A crucial element in investing is asset allocation. It plays a very big part in the success of any
portfolio. However, small investors do not have enough money to properly allocate their
assets. By pooling your funds with others, you can quickly benefit from greater
diversification. Mutual funds invest in a broad range of securities. This limits investment risk
by reducing the effect of a possible decline in the value of any one security. Mutual fund unitholders can benefit from diversification techniques usually available only to investors
wealthy enough to buy significant positions in a wide variety of securities.
Low Cost
A mutual fund lets you participate in a diversified portfolio for as little as Rs.5000, and
sometimes less. And with a no-load fund, you pay little or no sales charges to own them.

Convenience and Flexibility

Investing in mutual funds has its own convenience. While you own just one security rather
than many, you still enjoy the benefits of a diversified portfolio and a wide range of services.
Fund managers decide what securities to trade collect the interest payments and see that your
dividends on portfolio securities are received and your rights exercised. It also uses the
services of a high quality custodian and registrar. Another big advantage is that you can move
your funds easily from one fund to another within a mutual fund family. This allows you to
easily rebalance your portfolio to respond to significant fund management or economic
changes.
Liquidity
In open-ended schemes, you can get your money back promptly at net asset value related
prices from the mutual fund itself.
Transparency
Regulations for mutual funds have made the industry very transparent. You can track the
investments that have been made on your behalf and the specific investments made by the
mutual fund scheme to see where your money is going. In addition to this, you get regular
information on the value of your investment.
Variety
There is no shortage of variety when investing in mutual funds. You can find a mutual fund
that matches just about any investing strategy you select. There are funds that focus on bluechip stocks, technology stocks, bonds or a mix of stocks and bonds. The greatest challenge
can be sorting through the variety and picking the best for you

Types of Mutual Funds:

All mutual funds are variations of these three asset classes. For example, while equity funds
that invest in fast-growing companies are known as growth funds, equity funds that invest
only in companies of the same sector or region are known as specialty funds.

Money Market Funds:

Money market consists of short-term debt instruments, mostly Treasury bills. This is a safe
place to park your money. You won't get great returns, but you won't have to worry about
losing your principal.The typical return is twice the amount you would earn in a regular
checking/savings account and a little less than the average certificate of deposit (CD).

Bond/Income Funds:
Income funds are named appropriately: their purpose is to provide current income on a steady
basis. When referring to mutual funds, the terms "fixed-income," "bond," and "income" are
synonymous. These terms denote funds that invest primarily in government and corporate
debt. While fund holdings may appreciate in value, the primary objective of these funds is to
provide a steady cash flow to investors. As such, the audience for these funds consists of
conservative investors and retirees.
Bond funds are likely to pay higher returns than certificates of deposit and money market
investments, but bond funds aren't without risk. Because there are many different types of
bonds, bond funds can vary dramatically depending on where they invest. For example, a
fund specializing in high yield junk bonds is much more risky than a fund that invests in
government securities. Furthermore, nearly all bond funds are subject to interest rate risk,
which

means

Balanced Funds:
The objective is to provide a balanced mixture of safety, income and capital appreciation.The
strategy of balanced funds is to invest in a combination of fixed income and equities. A
typical balanced fund might have a weighting of 60% equity and 40% fixed income. The
weighting might also be restricted to a specified maximum or minimum for each asset class.
Equity Funds:
Funds that invest in stocks represent the largest category of mutual funds. Generally, the
investment objective of this class of funds is long-term capital growth with some income.
There are, however, many different types of equity funds because there are many different
types of equities. A great way to understand the universe of equity funds is to use a style box,
an example of which is below.

Open ended Fund

An open ended mutual fund is one that is available for subscription and repurchase on a
continuous basis. These funds do not have a fixed maturity period.
Close ended Fund
A close ended mutual fund has a stipulated maturity period ex: 3-5 yrs. The fund is open for
subscription only during a specific period at the time of launch of scheme.
Equity linked Mutual Funds
These funds invest in shares of companies that are listed on the stock exchanges. Depending
upon the sub-category of equity class, we may define them as:
Large-cap Funds: Large-cap funds are, typically, the least risky funds. These companies are
among the least volatile companies as they are mostly in mature businesses. You must
allocate highest to this category of investment.
Mid- and small-cap funds: These funds are riskier than large-cap funds. They invest in
small-sized companies that are in their growing stages. Since these companies are in their
growing stages, they can get volatile in an uncertain market. These are high-risk companies;
they typically rise more than large-cap funds in rising markets, but fall more than large-cap
companies in falling markets.
Sector/thematic funds: While sector funds invest in one or two sectors, thematic funds
invest in a bunch of sectors that are woven by a common theme, such as infrastructure,
consumer spending, fast-moving consumer goods and so on. These are the riskiest of all types
of funds as their portfolios are typically very concentrated.
ETF (Exchange Traded Fund):
An ETF is a basket of stocks that reflects the composition of an index, like S&P CNX Nifty
or CNX Bank index. The ETFs trading value is based on the net asset value of the underlying
stocks in the target index. Think of it as a Mutual Fund that you can buy and sell in real time
at a price which changes throughout the day.

ETFs have not enjoyed the kind of popularity that the conventional mutual funds enjoy.
Reasons being,

The lack of understanding of the concept of ETF amongst the general investor.
ETFs by nature track a certain index (e.g. Nifty or the Bankex). Hence, the returns
one can expect from ETFs will be equal to the rise in the index. Whereas, India is a
growing market and hence offers huge opportunities in the non-index shares too.
Therefore, it is not difficult for an active fund manager to beat the index and offer
better returns. As such ETFs (and index-funds too, by that logic) have comparatively
negligible AUMs.

However, two things make ETFs popular in India

One, is that as market valuations become fairly or over-valued, it will become more &
more difficult to beat the index. Then index-based funds (both conventional MFs &
ETFs) may become a better option than actively-managed funds

Gold ETFs or Real-Estate ETFs have no comparable product in the conventional MF

sector, and hence become the only MF route to invest in such markets

How Does An ETF Work?

In a normal fund we buy/sell units directly from/to the AMC. First the money is collected
from the investors to form the corpus. The fund manager then uses this corpus to build and
manage the appropriate portfolio. When you want to redeem your units, a part of the portfolio
is sold and you get paid for your units. The units in a conventional MF are, therefore, called
in-cash units.
But in ETF, we have something called the authorized participants (appointed by the AMC).
They will first deposit all the shares that comprise the index (or the gold in case of Gold ETF)
with the AMC and receive what is called the creation units from the AMC. Since these units
are created by depositing underlying shares/gold, they are called in-kind units.
These creation units are a large block, which are then split into small units and accordingly
bought/sold in the open market on the stock exchange by these authorized
participants.Therefore, technically every buy and sell need not change the corpus of an ETF
unlike a conventional MF.

However, as and when there is more demand, these authorized participants deposit more
shares with the AMC and get more creation units to satisfy the demand. Or if there is more
redemption, then they give back these creation units to the AMC, take back their shares, sell
them in the market and pay the investor.
All this may seem to be a bit complicated and time-consuming. But, in effect, it is all system
driven and hence happens on real-time basis with minimal effort & cost.
ETF Creation
The creation and redemption process for ETF shares is almost the exact opposite of that of
mutual fund shares. When investing in mutual funds, investors send cash to the fund
company, which then uses that cash to purchase securities and in turn issue additional shares
of the fund. When investors wish to redeem their mutual fund shares, the shares are returned
to the mutual fund company in exchange for cash. The creation of an ETF, however, does not
involve cash.
The process begins when a prospective ETF manager (known as a sponsor) files a plan with
the SEC to create an ETF. Once the plan is approved, the sponsor forms an agreement with an
authorized participant, generally a market maker, specialist or large institutional investor,
who is empowered to create or redeem ETF shares. (In some cases, the authorized participant
and the sponsor are the same).
The authorized participant borrows shares of stock, often from a pension fund, and places
those shares in a trust, and uses them to form creation units of the ETF. Creation units are
bundles of stock varying from 10,000 to 600,000 shares, but 50,000 shares is what's
commonly designated as one creation unit of a given ETF. Then, the trust provides shares of
the ETF - which are legal claims on the shares held in the trust (the ETFs represent tiny
slivers of the creation units) - to the authorized participant. Because this transaction is an inkind trade - that is, securities are traded for securities (the authorized participant provides
shares of stock to the trust and the trust in turn provides ETF shares to the authorized
participant) and no cash changes hands - there are no tax implications. Once the
authorizedparticipant receives the ETF shares, the shares are then sold to the public on the
open market just like shares of stock.

When ETF shares are bought and sold on the open market, the underlying securities that were
borrowed to form the creation units remain in the trust account. The trust generally has little
activity beyond paying dividends from the stock held in the trust to the ETF owners and
providing administrative oversight because the creation units are not impacted by the
transactions that take place on the market when ETF shares are bought and sold.
Redemptions
When investors want to sell their ETF holdings, they can do so by one of two methods. The
first is to sell the shares on the open market. This is generally the option chosen by most
individual investors. The second option is to gather enough shares of the ETF to form a
creation unit and then exchange the creation unit for the underlying securities. This option is
generally only available to institutional investors due to the large number of shares required
to form a creation unit. When these investors redeem, the creation unit is destroyed and the
securities are turned over to the redeemer. The beauty of this option is in its tax implications
for the portfolio.
We can see these tax implications best by comparing the ETF redemption to that of mutual
fund redemption. When mutual fund investors redeem shares from a fund, all shareholders in
the fund are affected by tax burden because to redeem the shares, the mutual fund may have
to sell the securities it holds, realizing the capital gain, which is subject to tax. Also, all
mutual funds are required to pay out all dividends and capital gains on a yearly basis. So even
if the portfolio has lost value that is unrealized, there is still a tax liability on the capital gains
that had to be realized because of the requirement to pay out dividends and capital gains.
ETFs minimize this scenario by paying large redemptions with shares of stock. When such
redemptions are made, the shares with the lowest cost basis in the trust are given to the
redeemer. This increases the cost basis of the ETF's overall holdings, minimizing capital
gains for the ETF. It doesn't matter to the redeemer that the shares it receives have the lowest
cost basis because the redeemer's tax liability is based on the purchase price it paid for the
ETF shares, not the fund's cost basis. When the redeemer sells the shares of stock on the open
market, any gain or loss incurred has no impact on the ETF. In this manner, investors with
smaller portfolios are protected from the tax implications of trades made by investors with
large portfolios.

Advantages of ETF

Buy and sell just like a share

Buy and sell at real time prices
One can put limit orders
Delivery in your DEMAT account
Minimum trading lot just one unit
Exposure with small sum of money
Lower expense ratio

Statistical tools used for Research:

Calculation of NAV:
The most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the assets owned by the Fund.
Once it is calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of assets divided by the number of units
outstanding. The detailed methodology for the calculation of the net asset value is given
below.

The net asset value is the actual value of a unit on any business day NAV is the

barometer of the performance of the scheme.

The net asset value is the market value of the assets of the scheme minus its liabilities

and expenses.
Per unit NAV is the net asset value of the scheme divided by the number of the units
outstanding on the valuation date.

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:

Portfolio return:

Where,Rit is the difference between Net Asset Values for two consecutive days dividend by
the NAV of the preceding day.
Market return:

Where,Rmt is the difference between market indices of two consecutive days dividend by the
market index for the preceding day
Beta
The extent to which the fund returns are impacted by the market returns is measured by the
beta co-efficient. A fund with higher beta is more risky than one with lower beta. It 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. The beta relates the
volatility of a single security to the volatility of the market as a whole.

If that is greater than 1 means that the fund is more volatile than the benchmark index,
while a of less than 1 means that the fund is less volatile than the market index. A fund with
a very close to 1 means the funds performance closely matches the index. If is zero then
the risk is almost nil. A fund with a negative moves in the direction opposite to that of the
market.
= Covar / m2

Where, Covariance (covar) is the average of the products of deviations for each data point
pair. And, covar is calculated as:
m2 = Market Variance

Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is one of the commonly used statistical parameter to measure total
risk. It is used to measure the variability of return i.e. the variation between the actual and
expected return. Since the markets are volatile, the returns fluctuate every day. High S.D
implies high volatility and a low S.D implies low volatility for a fund. It is calculated using
the formula.

Sharpes Index
Sharpe index is a measure of the risk premium of the portfolio relative to the total
amount of risk in the portfolio. Higher Sharpe ratio of a fund means that these returns have
been generated taking lesser risk. In other words, the fund is less volatile and yet generating
good returns.

Where,

= The Sharpe ratio

= The total risk (S.D.)
= The average portfolio return
= The average risk free rate

Treynors Index
The Treynor ratio also called reward-to-volatility ratio relates the excess return over
the risk-free rate to the additional risk taken.However the systematic risk is usedinstead of the
total risk. Positive and high Treynor's Index shows a superior risk-adjusted performance of a
fund, a Negative and low Treynor's Index indicates an unfavorable performance.

2.3Methodology Adopted:
Descriptive research also known as statistical research, describes data and
characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. It is a fact finding
investigation. In descriptive research, definite conclusions can be arrived at, but it does not
establish a cause effect relationship. This research is used for this project as the study is based
on past data taken from NSE website.
Sources of data
For the purpose of project, the data required is collected purely from secondary data sources.
Secondary data sources are found to be most suitable as they are more reliable and accurate
and would also provide all the information necessary for the analysis.
All the data has been collected through secondary sources only
1. Web site = moneycontrol.com, nseindia.com, googlefinance.com
2. Various books and papers.

2.4 Literature Review

K.P. Sivakumar, Dr. S. Rajamohan (2010) examined the performance of mutual fund
players based on Private and Public sector participants. The study revealed that there is a
significant contribution by all the participants for the growth of the mutual fund industry in
India. The performance of mutual funds was analyzed from 1998-99 to 2008-09 by taking
into consideration of resource mobilization, the study also found that the private participants
play a greater role in resource mobilization compared to those of public sector. This study
indicated that there is a significant difference between the quantum funds mobilized by Public
sector with or without UTI. Hence it proved that the UTI has a greater role in performance of
mobilization of funds.
Ravi Shukla and Sandeep Singh (1997) evaluated the Investment Performance of the U.S.
based global equity mutual funds. The study found that the global equity funds are superior
performers when compared to the global benchmark. By considering the data for the period
of January 1988 to March 1995, the study revealed that the U.S. domestic equity funds
outperformed the global funds in terms of total as well as risk adjusted returns. Based on the
traditional performance evaluation methods, the study indicated that the global funds provide
superior returns during the months when the U.S. domestic market performs poorly.
Therefore if the U.S. investors have the ability to forecast the market, they can switch to the
global funds during the downturn in the domestic market.
Martin Eling, Roger Faust (2009) examined the performance of hedge funds and traditional
mutual funds. The study analyzed the data from 2001-2009 and found that the value provided
by hedge funds, especially compared to traditional mutual fund active in emerging markets.
By using existing performance measurement models plus a new asset style factor model to
identify the return sources and the alpha, revealed that some hedge funds generate significant
positive alpha, whereas most traditional mutual funds do not outperform benchmarks. The

study also found those hedges funds are more active in shifting their asset allocation and has
high degree of freedom in their investment style are the difference in performance.

M. Jayadev (1996) carried out a research on Mutual fund performance with respect to
growth oriented funds for the period of 21 months from June 1992 to March 1994 in terms of
diversification, market timing and selectivity, it is found to be highly diversified fund with
high diversification, reduced total risk of the portfolio. The study showed that the growth
oriented fund does not outperform the benchmark index. Jayadev indicated that the fund
managers of growth funds are found to be poor in terms of their ability of market timing and
selectivity and suggested fund managers can earn better returns by adopting market timing
strategy and selecting the underpriced securities. The study concluded that, the growth
oriented funds have not performed better in terms of total risk and the funds are not offering
advantages of diversification and professionalism to the investors.
SharadPanwar and Dr. R. Madhumathi (2006) carried out a study on public sector and
private sector sponsored mutual funds to investigate the difference in characteristics of assets
held, and portfolio diversification for the period of May, 2002 to May, 2005. The study found
that public-sector sponsored funds do not differ significantly from private sector sponsored
funds in terms of average returns. However, the study showed that there is a statistical
difference between three classes of public sector sponsored; private sector Indian sponsored
and private sector foreign sponsored mutual funds in terms of average standard deviation,
average variance and average co-efficient of variation. The result of this study revealed that
private sector Indian sponsored mutual funds outperformed both public-sector sponsored and
private sector foreign sponsored mutual funds.
Dr. Zakri Y. Bello (2009) investigated the performance of U.S. domestic equity mutual funds
during recessions of 1990 and 2001 and during the 12 months following each recession. He
found that common stocks with small capitalization in the ensuing 12 months from the end of
a recession of 1990, but produced disappointment results after the recession of 2001. The
study pointed out that the rate of return on common stocks, and hence on stock mutual funds,
during the two recessions was completely different. With regard to the recession of 1990,
stock mutual fund performance was higher in the post-recession period. The result of this

study showed the funds that held small capitalization stocks earned higher returns than the
other categories during the 12 months after the recession period.

C. Edward Chang, H. Doug Witte (2010) examined the performance of socially responsible
funds in the U.S. mutual fund industry for the fifteen years. This paper empirically compared
operating characteristics and performance measures of SRFs relative to category averages in
the U.S. mutual fund industry. The operating characteristics were examined by expense ratio,
annual turnover rates and tax cost ratio. The performance measures include conventional risk,
return and risk adjusted return measures such as Multi factor model and CAPM model. The
result of this study revealed that SRFs have had a relative advantage in terms of lower
expense ratios, lower annual turnover rates, lower tax cost ratios and lower risk, SRFs also
exhibited lower return and two risk- adjusted return measures indicate SRFs have inferior
reward to risk performance. This study also proved that domestic stock SRFs has not
generated competitive returns relative to conventional funds in the same categories over the
past 10-15 years. SRFs in balanced fund and fixed income categories especially during 20072010, have performed better than the category averages with lower risk, higher returns and
high risk adjusted returns. Hence this study suggested that the costs of socially responsible
investing are not homogenous.
Manish Saboo (2008) studied the performance of 22 mutual funds based on data pertaining
to the period 2000-2007. Funds were evaluated by using measures like Sharpe ratio, Treynor
ratio, Jensen Alpha, information ratio, expense ratio etc. The results revealed that out of 22
funds only 7 portfolios performed worse and the remaining are performing better than the
market portfolio. Systematic risk for each of the funds (beta) was found to be very low. A
positive alpha for most of the funds indicated that the manager generated a return more than
what was expected given the portfolios risk level. Based on the risk-adjusted measure most of
the funds outperformed the market portfolio. These measures used in this study lead to
similar results with high rank correlation between the measures.

SoumyaGuha Deb, Ashok Banejee(2008) evaluated the relative performance of equity

mutual funds in India over the period from January 2000 to June 2005 with respect to three
performance indicators, namely, raw returns, the tracking error they generate over their
benchmarks and the information ratios. The study also tested the persistence in their
performance with respect to the indicators across time. Sample of 62 equity mutual fund
schemes were considered for this study. The result of this study showed that the funds have
generated positive average weekly returns during the sample period. The average weekly
information ratio was also positive and the funds have done well with respect to all three
performance measures. The evidence of persistence was most prominent over an evaluation
horizon of one year and less when the time horizon is three months or six months and it
disappears completely when the horizon is extended to a period of more than thirty months.
Adjei Frederick (2009) found no significant difference between the performances of the
ETFs and the S&P 500 index. He found weak evidence of performance persistence on both
the half-yearly and the yearly horizons. Johnson (2009) reported the existence of tracking
errors between foreign ETFs and the underlying home index returns. Blitz David et al. (2010)
investigated the performance of index mutual funds and the ETFs that are listed in Europe.
They found that European index funds and ETFs underperform their benchmarks by 50 to
150 basis points per annum. William (2009) found the existence of tracking errors between
foreign ETFs and the underlying home index in US.
Blitz David and Huij (2011) evaluated the performance of ETFs that provide passive
exposure to global emerging markets (GEM) equities and found that GEM ETFs exhibit
higher tracking error. Houweling (2011) found that treasury ETFs were able to track their
benchmark but investment grade corporate bond ETFs and high yield corporate bond ETFs
underperform their benchmarks. Charupat&Miu (2011) analyzed the performance of leverage
ETFs, and concluded that price deviations are small among leverage ETFs and that price
volatility is more, as a result of rebalancing, at the end of the day.

Patrick (2011) found that in Hong Kong the magnitude of tracking errors is negatively
related to the size but positively related to the expense ratio of the ETFs. He further
commented that replicating the performance of underlying securities involves more risk,
since they have a higher tracking error than in the US and Australia.

2.4Limitations of the Study:

Time was one of the limiting factors for study.

Collecting historical NAV is very difficult.

Selection of the schemes for the study is also a very difficult task because of the wide
variety of schemes.

Various schemes of the funds being used in the project are limited.

increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an
official organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'.It was

Improving asset quality is the key behind decent performance of bank

stocks in a falling interest rate environment.

Credit to improve; soft inflation to spur deposits.

A likely accommodative monetary policy by RBI (100bps monetary

easing in CY13), expected recovery in infra credit demand and sustained improvement in
household leveraging could push bank credit growth to 16% in FY14 and 15% in FY15.
Moreover, falling inflation would improve real interest rates, which in

turn, could channel both household and corporate savings to bank term deposits.

Estimated deposit growth at 17% in FY14 and 16% in FY15.

NIM gains restricted by stretched credit-to-deposit. In a low real

interest rate environment, banks would have limited flexibility to lower deposit rates.

The above table shows the hypothesis testing using Spearmans rank correlation to find the
significant relationship between performances of Sharpes and Treynors measure. It is clear
from the table that there is a significant relationship between the performance of Equity
mutual funds using Sharpes and Treynors measure. Hence the alternative hypothesis is
accepted and null hypothesis is rejected.
At the same time, there is no significant relationship between the performance of ETF based
on Sharpes and Treynor measure, hence null hypothesis is accepted. This may be due to
sharpes measure is depend on Standard deviation and Treynors measure depends on Beta.

CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS and SUGGESTIONS
FINDINGS:

Tata ethical fund (G) has the highest return in equity mutual funds when compared to
other equity mutual funds selected, this fund also have highest SD i.e. variability in
return.

R* Shares Banking ETF has the highest return compared to other ETFs selected, it
also have highest SD i.e. variability in return.

From the above analysis/statement it has proved higher the risk, higher the return and
lower the risk, lower will be the return.

According to Sharpes performance Index we find that Tata ethical fund (G) is ranked
as 1st in equity mutual funds and UTI Gold ETF in ETFs. The Sharpes index
considers total risk of the Scheme.

According to Treynors Performance Index, Tata ethical fund (G) is ranked as 1st in
equity mutual funds and R* Shares Banking ETF in ETFs. The Treynors index
considers the return premium for systematic risk undertaken.

According to Jensens Performance Index, Tata ethical fund(G) is ranked as 1st in

equity mutual funds and R* Shares Banking ETF in ETFs. The Jensens index
compares the actual or realized return of the portfolio with calculated return and
hence depicts the predictive ability of the managerial personnel

According to all the three indexes Tata ethical fund(G)is the best equity diversified
scheme because this particular scheme is having the best risk adjusted rate of return.

Investments in both equity mutual funds and ETFs are subjected to market risk.

Now a days investments in Equity mutual funds and ETFs are increasing because of
falling interest rates and awareness of Equity mutual funds and ETFs in the minds of
investors.

Investment in mutual fund schemes and ETFs gives diversified portfolio to investors.

Equity mutual funds have highest return with highest standard deviation when
compared to ETFs

CONCLUSIONS:
It is examined that investment performance of Equity Mutual funds and ETFs in terms
ofPerformance measure, some funds shows conformity with the linear relationship ofreturn
and risk. Some funds do not demonstrate this relationship. Some funds have outperformed
both in terms of Treynor measure and Sharpe measure. However somefunds exhibited
superior performance in terms of systematic risk but did not do so inrespect of total risk.
It becomes increasingly necessary to periodically monitor and evaluate performance
as objectively as can. More importantly, such evaluationshould provide meaningful feedback
for improving the quality of the investmentmanagement process on a continuing basis. In

particular, it should help in articulatingthe investment objectives with greater clarity,

sharpening the investment strategy andrefining the methods of security selection, value of
experience that matters.The study recommends new investors to choose equity mutual funds
if the investor is a risk taker or if not he can go for ETFs which have moderate return and
moderate risk compared to equity mutual funds.
SUGGESTIONS:

Investors are recommended to invest in the scrips which have low risk or high risk
depending on the level of the risk the investor is ready to undertake.

Investors are recommended to avoid the stocks which are overpriced and invest in the
underpriced scripts.

Investors are recommended to invest after evaluating the performance of different

funds as in the above selected funds Tata ethical fund (G) in equity mutual fund and
R* Shares Banking ETF in ETFs rank first, its better to invest in these funds.

Investors who are willing to take less risk can go for ETFs and those with high risk
can go for Equity mutual funds.

One should also use all the three indexes in diversifying equity schemes risk to be
adjusted with rate of return for the investors.
