MCB Funds

Folio number is a unique identifier assigned to an investment account and is used to track your investments with an Asset Management Company. Customer can either have a single Folio or they can also open multiple Folios as per requirement.

A Mutual Fund is a large pool of money managed by a team of experienced individuals as part of a licensed Asset Management Company. The money collected from investors is invested in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and other assets to generate returns for investors.

Mutual Funds, operated by Asset Management Companies (AMCs), are licensed by the regulator after meeting a range of requirements. A Mutual Fund is set up under a trust structure with a 3rd party entity designated as the trustee. All investments, made by the fund, bank accounts, transactions, are managed by the trustee, according to the advice of the AMC. The trustee is obligated to follow the instructions of the AMC, as long as these instructions do not violate the “Trust Deed” which is a legal agreement signed by the AMC and the trustee that governs the operating framework of the trust. (i.e. the mutual fund).

  1. Open-end Funds: Open-end mutual funds allow investors to invest and redeem (withdraw) their money whenever they want. They continually create new units or redeem issued units on demand and are also known as Unit Trusts. The unit holders buy the units of the fund or may redeem them on a continuous basis at the prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV). These units can be purchased and redeemed through a Management Company, which announces offer and redemption prices on a regular basis.
  2. Close-ended Funds: These funds have a fixed number of shares like a public company and are floated through an IPO. Once issued, they can be bought and sold at the market rates at the Stock Exchange, where they are listed at the prevailing rates at any point of time

A fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the value per unit. The NAV is equal to the market worth of assets held in the portfolio of a Fund, minus liabilities, divided by the number of units currently issued to investors. NAV Per Unit = (Current Market Value of all the Assets – Liabilities) / Total Number of Units Outstanding The sales and redemption price of units might be different from the NAV if there is an element of “Sales Load / Front End Load” or “Back End Load”. The sale and redemption price is declared on a daily basis by the funds and can be viewed on their websites.

Sales Load/Front-End Load is a small service fee charged to an investor when buying or redeeming shares in a mutual fund. The fee compensates the sales team for their efforts and is mandatory to be disclosed before any payment is made.

Back-End Load is charged when customers withdraw money from funds. This is rarely used and is applied only in case of funds that have a “lock in” period. Again, it is mandatory to disclose the fee before a customer signs up for the product.

A benchmark is a standard against which the performance of a security, mutual fund or investment manager can be measured. A Mutual Fund’s performance is compared with the benchmark in order to find out whether the fund performed better than the market.
