Business firms issue convertible debentures to avail tax benefit. The company can get the
advantage of tax deduction on the interest paid to the investors. This reduces the cost of capital of
the company. However, at the time of conversion when a company issues additional shares, the
value of the equity shareholders decline due to stock dilution. There are many types of debentures
which a company can issue. Two popular types among them are:
Convertible Debentures
Debentures in which the company issues an interest bearing loan that can be converted into
equity shares after the stipulated time. The interest on these debentures is generally low. The
debenture holders can opt for receiving the interest and principal amount at the time of maturity.
Non-Convertible Debentures
The business organizations can issue debenture of any type depending on its suitability. When the
firm issues convertible debentures, it has to select which type of convertible debenture it wants to issue.
The following are the two types of convertible debentures:
Fully Convertible Debentures are those debentures in which the whole value of debentures is
convertible into equity shares of the company. The holder of this debentures gets equity shares of the
company in the ratio determined by the company during the time of issue.
Partly convertible debentures differ from fully convertible debentures. In partly convertible debentures,
only some part of the debentures shall be eligible for conversion into equity shares. The ratio of conversion
is determined at the time of issue of convertible debentures. The part of convertible debentures can be
converted into equity shares only after the approval of debenture holders.

1933 and the enactment of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 put in place safeguards to protect
investors: Mutual funds were required to register with the SEC and to provide disclosure in the

that required more disclosures and sought to minimize conflicts of interest. (See also: Policing the
Securities Market: An Overview of the SEC.)
The mutual fund industry continued to expand. At the beginning of the 1950s, the number
of open-end funds topped 100. In 1954, the financial markets overcame their pre-1929 crash peak,
and the mutual fund industry began to grow in earnest, adding some 50 new funds over the course
of the decade. The 1960s saw the rise of aggressive growth funds, with more than 100 new funds
established and billions of dollars in new asset inflows. Hundreds of new funds were launched
throughout the 1960s until the bear market of 1969 cooled the public appetite for mutual funds.
Money flowed out of mutual funds as quickly as investors could redeem their shares, but the
industry's growth later resumed.

no-load fund. This new way of doing business had an enormous impact on the way mutual funds
were sold and would make a major contribution to the industry's success. With the 1980s and '90s
came bull market mania and previously obscure fund managers became superstars. Max Heine,
Michael Price and Peter Lynch, the mutual fund industry's top gunslingers, became household
names and money poured into the retail investment industry at a stunning pace. The burst of the
tech bubble in 1997 and a spate of scandals involving big names in the industry took much of the
shine off of the industry's reputation. Then the Great Recession of 2007 scared a lot of people out
of mutual funds once again. For part of this period, the entire world was in a financial crisis. Shady
dealings at major fund companies demonstrated that mutual funds aren't always benign
investments managed by folks who have their shareholders' best interests in mind.
Later in the 1970s and 80s, UTI started innovating and offering different schemes to suit
the needs of different classes of investors. Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) was launched in
1971. The first Indian offshore fund, India Fund was launched in August 1986. In absolute terms,
the investible funds corpus of UTI was about Rs 600 crores in 1984. By 1987-88, the assets under
management (AUM) of UTI had grown 10 times to Rs 6,700 crores.
The year 1987 marked the entry of other public sector mutual funds. With the opening up
of the economy, many public sector banks and institutions were allowed to establish mutual funds.
The State Bank of India established the first non-UTI Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund in November
1987. This was followed by Canbank Mutual Fund,LIC Mutual Fund, Indian Bank Mutual Fund,

Bank of India Mutual Fund, GIC Mutual Fund and PNB Mutual Fund. From 1987-88 to 1992-93,
the AUM increased from Rs 6,700 crores to Rs 47,004 crores, nearly seven times. During this
period, investors showed a marked interest in mutual funds, allocating a larger part of their savings
to investments in the funds.
A new era in the mutual fund industry began in 1993 with the permission granted for the
entry of private sector funds. This gave the Indian investors a broader choice of 'fund families' and
increasing competition to the existing public sector funds. Quite significantly foreign fund
management companies were also allowed to operate mutual funds, most of them coming into
India through their joint ventures with Indian promoters.
The private funds have brought in with them latest product innovations, investment
management techniques and investor-servicing technologies. During the year 1993-94, five private
sector fund houses launched their schemes followed by six others in 1994-95.
Since 1996, the mutual fund industry scaled newer heights in terms of mobilization of funds
and number of players. Deregulation and liberalization of the Indian economy had introduced
competition and provided impetus to the growth of the industry.
A comprehensive set of regulations for all mutual funds operating in India was introduced
with SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996. These regulations set uniform standards for all funds.
Erstwhile UTI voluntarily adopted SEBI guidelines for its new schemes. Similarly, the budget of
the Union government in 1999 took a big step in exempting all mutual fund dividends from income
tax in the hands of the investors. During this phase, both SEBI and Association of Mutual Funds
of India (AMFI) launched Investor Awareness Programme aimed at educating the investors about
investing through MFs.
The year 1999 marked the beginning of a new phase in the history of the mutual fund
industry in India, a phase of significant growth in terms of both amount mobilized from investors
and assets under management. In February 2003, the UTI Act was repealed. UTI no longer has a
special legal status as a trust established by an act of Parliament. Instead it has adopted the same
structure as any other fund in India - a trust and an AMC.
The emergence of a uniform industry with the same structure, operations and regulations
make it easier for distributors and investors to deal with any fund house. Between 1999 and 2005
the size of the industry has doubled in terms of AUM which have gone from above Rs 68,000
crores to over Rs 1,50,000 crores.
The industry has lately witnessed a spate of mergers and acquisitions, most recent ones
being the acquisition of schemes of Allianz Mutual Fund by Birla Sun Life, PNB Mutual Fund by
Principal, among others. At the same time, more international players continue to enter India
including Fidelity, one of the largest funds in the world.

A money market mutual fund is a fund that invests solely in money market instruments.
Money market instruments are forms of debt that mature in less than one year and have high
liquidity. Treasury bills make up the bulk of the money market instruments. Securities in the money
market are relatively risk-free and most secure mutual fund investments. Its aim is to preserve
principal while yielding a modest return. It is similar to a high-yield bank account but is not entirely
risk free. Investor should concentrate on the rate of interest.
• Generally, money market instruments require huge amount of investments and it is beyond
the capacity of an ordinary retail investor to invest such large sums. Money market funds allow retail
investors the opportunity of investing in money market instrument and benefit from the price
advantage.
• Money market mutual funds are usually rated by the rating agencies.
RBI Guidelines
The setting up of MMMFs would require the prior authorization of the Reserve Bank.
Furthermore, the MMMFs to be set up by banks, their subsidiaries and public financial institutions
would be required to comply with the guidelines and directives that may be issued by the RBI from
time to time. Although the guidelines were issued in 1992-93, yet no institutions has so far come
forward to establish a MMMF. The major hurdle has been the stringent limits for investments
prescribed by the RBI. Moreover, the relative quietness on the money market front led to the absence
of the “necessity” factor to establish MMMFs.

Venture Capital
Introduction
Venture Capital is a form of “risk capital” which is invested in a project or a business
where there is a substantial element of risk relating to the future creation of profits and cash
flows. Risk capital is invested as shares (equity) rather than as a loan and the investor requires
a higher “rate of return” to compensate him for his risk.
Turn around:
• Financial turn around
• Management turn around
Venture Leasing
A leasing arrangement in which the ‘lessor’ provides both the assets and the equity
capital to the lessee is called venture leasing
