Step 2: Develop Financial Goals One should periodically analyze one`s financial values and goals. The purpose of this analysis is to differentiate one`s needs from his wants. One needs to gather all the information ie. Quantitative and Qualitative. Quantitative information will include data such as Insurance, Budgeting, Asset & Liabilities, Cash Flow etc
Qualitative data would include ones attitude towards risk, inflation, taxation, Past experience etc. Goal Setting is deciding the end-point of one`sr planning exercise determining where one wants to go. Specific financial goals are vital to financial planning. The more tangible one`s goals, the easier it is to plan for their realization.
Step 3: Develop financial planning alternatives Developing alternatives is crucial for making good decisions. Preparation of some alternatives gives one some options to achieve the financial goals. Alternatives should be in line with one`s financial goals Creativity in decision making is vital to effective choices. Considering all of the possible alternatives will help one make more effective and satisfying decisions.< Step 4: Evaluate Alternatives One needs to evaluate possible courses of action, taking into consideration one`s life situation, personal values, and current economic conditions. Evaluating Risk : In many financial decisions, identifying and evaluating risk is difficult. Decision making will be an ongoing part of one`s personal and financial situation. Thus, one will need to consider the lost opportunities that will result from his decisions. Step 5: Create and Implement a Financial Action Plan In this step of the financial planning process, one develops an action plan. This requires choosing ways to achieve one`s goals.

Changing personal, social, and economic factors may require more frequent assessments. When life events affect one`s financial needs, this financial planning process will provide a vehicle for adapting to those changes.

Introduction to Topic
What is mean by mutual fund? Mutual funds are pools of money that are managed by an investment company. They offer investors a variety of goals, depending on the fund and its investment charter. Some funds, for example, seek to generate income on a regular basis. Others seek to preserve an investor's money. Still others seek to invest in companies that are growing at a rapid pace. Funds can impose a sales charge, or load, on investors when they buy or sell shares. Many funds these days are no load and impose no sales charge. Mutual funds are investment companies regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940. Related: open-end fund, closed-end fund. Concept of mutual funds A mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a no. of investors, who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a mutual fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. Historical Aspect Mutual fund firstly was established in 1822 in the form of Society General De Belguique. It mainly gains the progress in Switzerland & little in franc and Germany in its initial days. The first investment trust The foreign and colonial govt. trust Was founded in London in 1868. Indian Scenario of Mutual Fund The origin of mutual fund industry in India is with the introduction of the concept of by UTI in the year 1963. Through the growth was slow, but it accelerated from the year 1987 when non-UTI players entered in industry. The mutual fund industry goes through four phases: First phase 1964-87 (Establishment of UTI). Second phase 1987-93 (Entry of public sector funds). Third phase 1993-2003 (Entry of a private sector funds). Fourth phase since feb.2003 (Bifurcated of UTI).
In the first phase, UTI was established in 1963 by an act of parliament. In 1978 it was delinked from RBI & the IDBI took over the control of UTI. In second phase, SBI entered as first non-UTI mutual fund provider then it was followed by can bank (Dec. 87). PNB (Aug 89) & LIC in 1989. In third phase, the private sector entered in it. The Erstwhile Kothari pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was first registered in July 1993 in mutual fund. In revised registration of SEBI I n 1993 the industry functions under SEBI. And the fourth phase had bitter experience for UTI. It was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the specified under taking of UTI with AUM of 29,835cr. The second is UTI mutual fund ltd.

Recommendations / Suggestions: - In my training I have found some limitations. For that I can suggest SBI FMCG FUND company following suggestions or areas of improvement: Sbi bank should try to provide better returns to its investors as compare to other. companiy should try to invest in better securities for better profits. companiy should try to satisfy their customer by better customer service or by improving customer relationship management. Company should try to make people initiative towards risk. Investors should be made fully aware of the concept of mutual fund & all the terms and conditions. It should more emphasize in advertising, as it is the most Powerful tool to position ant brand in the mindsets of customers Conclusion: - To conclude we can say that mutual fund is a very much profitable tool for investment because of its low cost of acquiring fund, tax benefit, and diversification of profits & reduction of risk. .There is also an affect of age on mutual fund investors like; old people & widows want regular returns than capital appreciation. Companies can adopt new techniques to attract more & more investors. In my study I was suppose to do comparative analyses the mutual fund of HDFC &ICICI and I had found that people consider HDFC better than ICICI. But ICICI have also respondents and it can increase its investors by improving itself in some terms. To conclude we can say mutual fund is a best investment vehicle for old & widow, as well as to those who want regular returns on their investment. Mutual fund is also better and preferable for those who want their capital appreciation. Both the companies are doing considerable achievements in mutual fund industry. There are also so many competitors involved those affects on both companies.
