ABSTRACT:
Looking to the present scenario of VUCA world, i.e. volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, where there is no certainty in salary income and job prospects, one has to consider the planning of personal finance to improve the economic condition of oneself and that is why it needs to understand the performance of the several investment avenues for the wealth management practices. It is observed that, traditionally preferred investment avenues in India like property, gold and bank FDs are not appearing to be as lucrative as before. Hence an attempt is made here to understand the performance of the systematic Investment plan and its return which can be derived by the potential investor. Therefore, it is required to determine the growth and development in the Indian context and selected funds under present study.
KEYWORDS: Wealth Management, SIP, Aditya Birla Mutual Funds
Introduction:
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is the scientific method of investing to create wealth in the long run. Now-a-days FD rates are hardly able to cover post-term tax and property has been quite erratic since the sub-prime crisis of 2007 and the demonetization has only made cash transactions very difficult in the property space. The only credible option left to generate wealth is equities and SIPs, which offer the best way and no need to worry about timing the market.
SIP helps for the averaging cost return ratio by investing at low price in the volatile equity market and it also includes the principles of compounding interest in the longer run which leads to growth in the wealth of an investor. It does not lead to the burden on wallet as option for small amount SIP is available. It is monitored and operated by the automated system which leads to reduction in the burden of investors to remind dates, amount etc. The most significant element is the one time click for the withdrawals and hence an investor can withdraw the required amount in emergencies at any point of time.
Objectives of Study:
Literature Reviews:
(Singh, 2012), “A study on investors’ attitude towards mutual funds as an investment option” has focused on the need for creating the awareness about Mutual Funds among potential investors. There is a strong demand to make people aware about the unique features of investment in Mutual Funds. From the existing investors point of view the benefits provided by mutual funds like return potential and liquidity have been perceived to be most attractive by the invertors’ followed by flexibility, transparency and affordability.
(K., 2013), “A Comparative study on evaluation of Selected Mutual Funds in India” from International Journal of Marketing and Technology has recommended that the portfolio managers whose performance is below benchmark index should have a reconsider their investment strategy and asset allocation. Method of Investing should be redesigned according to fluctuations of the market to improve their performance. To increase the efficiency and popularity of mutual funds, the regulator should set the standard criteria of benchmarks which will be helpful to asset management companies.
(Narayanasamy&Rathnamani, 2013), “Performance Evaluation of Equity Mutual Funds(on selected Equity Large Cap Funds)” have mentioned that all funds performed well during the period under study despite volatility in the market. The fall in NIFTY during the year 2011 impacted the performance of all selected mutual funds. In order to ensure consistent performance of mutual funds, investors should also consider statistical parameters like alpha, beta, standard deviation besides considering NAV and total return.
Research Gap:
While reviewing literature it is found that, the studies on mutual funds are available but the exclusive studies on the selected Schemes of Aditya Birla is yet to be done.
Research Methodology:
The research is analytical and descriptive in nature. The scope of the study is a particular method i.e. SIP, which is used for the scientifically investment in the investment avenue i.e. selected Mutual funds. Basically, secondary data have been collected to analyze the performance of the selected funds during a particular time period. Ratios have been computed to analyze and interpret the performance of selected scheme under present study.
Research Design:
The research is based on secondary data derived from the websites and reports. After compiling data from the various sources mentioned above, growth rate was computed to examine correlation with time of investment. Statistical test have been applied to test hypothesis
Research Tools:
Considering variables like growth rate and time of investment, Parametric test such as one way Anova test and Pearson's coefficient correlation have been used to test hypothesis.
Scope of the Research:
Limitations of the Study:
SIP in Indian Context:
SIP has been gaining popularity among Indian MF investors, as it helps in Rupee Cost Averaging and also in investing in a disciplined manner without worrying about market volatility and timing the market. The following chart indicates the contribution of SIP during last five years.
The below table indicates the amount of contribution through systematic plan (SIP) during last five years in crore. Looking to the data, it can be interpreted that, the amount is constantly increasing from 2016-17 to 2021-22. It is quite essential to analyze the growth rate to know about the extent to which it is growing. Therefore it is essential to consider 2016-17 as a base year to compute growth rate during last five years. Here, in the table given below, growth rate is computed to determine the growth of SIP contribution.
