...MUTUAL FUND A Mutual fund is a pool of money, collected from investors and is invested according to certain investment objectives. A Mutual fund is created when investors put their money together. It is therefore a pool of the investor’s funds. The most important characteristic of the Mutual fund is that the contributories and the beneficiaries are the same class of people, namely the investors. The term mutual means that the investors contribute to the pool, and also benefit from the pool. There are no other claimants to the funds. The pool of funds held mutually by investors is the mutual fund. A Mutual fund business is to invest the funds thus collected, according to the wishes of the investors who created the pool. Usually the investors appoint professional investment managers, to manage their funds. The same objective is achieved when professional investment managers create a ‘product’ and offer it for investments to the investors. The product represents a share in the pool and pre states investment objectives. FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF MUTUAL FUND A mutual fund is a financial intermediary and works as an investment company. It has distinct features and characteristics which differentiate it from other financial intermediaries. Some of the features of mutual fund are: Mutual fund is a pool of financial resources.

...1.1. Introduction Mutual Funds in India – History The concept of Mutual Funds in India emerged as success as early as 1990s, when Government allowed public sector banks and institutions to launch mutual funds schemes. Unit Trust of India was the first Mutual Fund in India set-up in the year 1963 Security and exchange Board of India (SEBI) act was passed in the year 1192. The objectives of SEBI are - to regulate security market and protect the interests of investor community. It is regulatory institution which is responsible for formulating policies and guidelines for operation of mutual funds in India. Mutual funds have become extremely popular over the last 20 years. What was once just another obscure financial instrument is now a part of our daily lives. More than 80 million people, or one half of the households in America, invest in mutual funds. In fact, many people think investing means buying mutual funds. After all, its common knowledge that investing in mutual funds is (or at least should be) better than simply letting your cash waste away in a savings account, but, for most people, that's where the understanding of funds ends. It doesn't help that mutual fund salespeople speak a strange language that is interspersed with jargon that many investors don't understand.

...Introduction s environmental issues gain greater attention, pressure is being placed on all industries, including financial services to implement “green” initiatives. While green banking is not yet a key reason for most customers to select one financial institution over another, customer demands and greater environmental awareness are driving a number of financial institutions to go green. Environment is a key focus amongst ethical banks (in this field specially called sustainability or green banks) as well as amongst many conventional banks that wish to appear more ethically oriented or that see switching to more environmental practices to be to their advantage. In general bankers “consider themselves to be in a relatively environmentally friendly industry (in terms of emissions and pollution). However, given their potential exposure to risk, they have been surprisingly slow to examine the environmental performance of their clients. A stated reason for this is that such an examination would ‘require interference’ with a client’s activities. While the desire to not meddle in the business of the client is valid, one could also note that banks are required to interfere in the business of their clients regularly to ensure that the clients’ business plan is viable before issuing them a loan. The kind of analysis that all banks partake in is termed a single bottom line analysis (this analysis only considers financial performance). It is arguable whether or not performing a triple bottom...
