How is a mutual fund set-up?
A mutual fund gets set up in the form of a trust that has a sponsor, trustees, an asset management company (AMC) and custodian. The trustees of the mutual fund hold its property for the benefit of unitholders. The custodians who get registered with the SEBI, hold the securities of various schemes of the fund. The role of the AMC is to employ professional fund managers who have expertise in investing in equity, debt or both. They are the ones who invest the collected amount from investors and manage the fund to generate desirable returns. The AMC of a mutual fund can have several mutual fund schemes with specific investment mandates. As an investor, you can choose one depending on the objective of that particular fund. The general power of superintendence and direction of the AMC gets vested with the trustees. They also monitor the performance and compliance of the fund with SEBI regulations. It is mandatory for every mutual fund to follow all the rules laid down by SEBI and to mention its objectives in the prospectus offered to its investors.
