Comparative Analysis of ICICI and SBI Mutual Fund
Comparative Analysis of ICICI and SBI Mutual Fund
Comparative Analysis of ICICI and SBI Mutual Fund
Introduction:
A mutual fund is a type of financial intermediary that pools the funds of investors who seek
the same general investment objective and invests there in a number of different types of
financial claims (e.g. equity shares, bonds, money market instruments). These pooled funds
provide thousands of investors with proportional ownership of diversified portfolios managed
by professional investment managers.
There are many reasons why people prefer investing in mutual funds rather
than buying shares from the shares market as it requires a lot of time to understand the future
prospects of the company and research would be time consuming if the investor has
important work to do. Therefore they invest in a mutual fund scheme which in turn takes the
responsibility of investing in stocks and shares after due research and analysis. The investor
need not bother with researching hundreds of stocks. It leaves it to the mutual fund and its
professional fund management team.
Mutual Funds are classified based on their asset class and their structure.
Asset class include equity funds, debt funds, money market funds, hybrid funds, sector funds,
index funds, tax saving funds, and fund of funds. Mutual funds based on structure include
open ended and close ended funds. An investor chooses it type depending on the goals he
want to achieve which are set with the help of mutual fund manager or AMC Company who
pool the money from different investors and use their valuable knowledge and research and
invest the money accordingly.
SBI Mutual Fund offers an entire range of investment solutions covering investors across risk
profiles. It provides mutual fund across categories including equity, debt, tax-saving, hybrid
and fund-of-funds. While ICIC Mutual Fund deals in equity, debt, hybrid, solution oriented
and Exchange Traded Funds
Literature Review
1.Comparative Analysis of Sharpe and Sortino Ratio with reference to Top Ten
Banking and Finance Sector Mutual Funds
October 2018
Pooja Srivastava
In this research paper comparative analysis of Top Ten Banking and Finance Sector open
ended mutual funds is done using Sharpe and Sortino Ratio and the best performer is found
out INVESCO INDIA BANK FUND-DP has higher Sharpe ratio i.e.3.05 and lower standard
deviation (1.18%) and also higher Sortino ratio (4.95). with this we can infer that due to
higher Sortino ratio of 4.95 fund has maximum downside deviation because of this, in spite
having higher Sharpe ratio the fund is having lowest percentage of five year return i.e.
7.75%.ICICI PRU BANKING ANF FIN SER-RP(G) FUND having the height five year
return which 20.99% in spite of having lower Sharpe ratio of 0.71% and high standard
deviation of 18.79%. fund is showing the height five year return because of positive standard
deviation because due to low Sortino ratio which is 1.18 which indicate lower downside
deviation. Hence with the help of above analysis we can conclude that Sortino ratio give the
better understanding for analysing the fund performance.

3.A Study on Comparative Analysis of ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank Mutual Fund Schemes ‘MONEY
ATTRACTS MONEY’
Mrs. P. Kalpana
April 2018
In this refrence paper study comparative analysis is done on ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank
Mutual Fund Schemes over 100 days. It was found out that ICICI mutual funds are not
performing well as the asset management is not done in a perfect manner due to this it is
getting the huge losses. ICICI mutual funds is into negative whereas the HDFC Mutual funds
are performing well in the market with respect to debt funds. Hence HDFC Mutual funds
have performed better than ICICI mutual funds

In this reference paper it was analysed which mutual fund between HDFC and ICICI gives
better returns. Sample study was conducted on 100 candidates who invets in mutual funds of
which 65 have invested in mutual funds with HDFC & 35 have invested with ICICI.
According to collected data 68 investors thinks that HDFC provides better returns whereas 32
think that ICICI provides better returns. Investors have more faith in HDFC’s mutual fund.
Many investors who have invested in mutual funds have invested with HDFC and they think
that it provides better returns than ICICI. There is also an effect of age on mutual fund
investors like old people & widows want regular returns than capital appreciation

This reference paper is based on study of mutual fund scheme offered in the selected banks
like State Bank of India , Canara Bank, ICICI Bank , HDFC Bank with different parameters
such as Standard Deviation, Beta, Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, Jenson alpha and NAV
Calculation mutual funds. It was found out that Canara Bank sponsored Canara Robeco
Equity Tax Saver has a higher Treynor’s ratio (0.153) and higher Sharpe’s ratio (0.033) and
expected to perform well among the other tax saving schemes. HDFC offered HDFC Tax
Saver scheme has a lower Variance (7.888) and Standard deviation (2.809) and is expected to
be less risky among the other tax saving schemes.

Company Profile :
SBI MUTUAL FUND
SBI Mutual Fund is India’s largest bank sponsored mutual fund and has an enviable track
record in judicious investments and consistent wealth creation. The fund traces its lineage to
SBI - India’s largest banking enterprise. The institution has grown immensely since its
inception and today it is India's largest bank, patronised by over 80% of the top corporate
houses of the country.
SBI Mutual Fund is a joint venture between the State Bank of India and Société Générale
Asset Management, one of the world’s leading fund management companies that manages
over US$ 500 Billion worldwide. In twenty years of operation, the fund has launched 38
schemes and successfully redeemed fifteen of them. In the process it has rewarded it's
investors handsomely with consistent returns.
A total of over 5.8 million investors have reposed their faith in the wealth generation
expertise of the Mutual Fund. Schemes of the Mutual fund have consistently outperformed
benchmark indices and have emerged as the preferred investment for millions of investors
and HNI’s.
Today, the fund manages over Rs. 42,100 crores of assets and has a diverse profile of

India Opportunities Fund. Growth through innovation and stable investment policies is the
SBI MF credo.
Objectives :
● To compare the performance of SBI Blue-chip mutual fund and ICICI
Prudential Blue-chip mutual fund based on various parameters
● To analyse which fund provides better returns
● An open end mutual fund is the type of fund that does not have any restrictions on
the amount of shares a fund can issue.
● Such schemes purchase and offer units at a daily basis and therefore, allow the
investor to enter and exit as per his preference.
● The units are sold at the Net Asset announced and can be bought or sold even after
the New Fund Offer (NFO) period.
● These schemes are not listed on stock exchanges
● Close ended mutual fund is the type of fund that sells a specific number of units.
● The Net Asset Value (NAV) of such schemes is fixed.
● Units cannot be bought or sold after the New Fund Offer (NFO) period. This
implies that new investors cannot enter, while the existing ones cannot exit till the
time period of the scheme gets exhausted.
● These schemes are listed on stock exchanges to maintain liquidity.
● Investors can exit any time they want. The issuing company directly takes the
responsibility of providing an entry and an exit. This provides ready liquidity to
the investors and avoids reliance on transfer deeds, signature verifications and bad
deliveries.
● Investors can entry any time they want. Thus, an open-ended fund allows one to
enter the fund at any time and even to invest at regular intervals.
B. Based on Assets invested in :
1. Equity Funds :
● These are funds that invest only in stocks. As a result, they are usually
considered high risk, high return funds.
● Most growth funds – the ones that promise high returns over a long-term – are
equity funds.
● These funds have less tax liability in the long-run as compared to debt funds.
● Equity funds can be further classified into types based on the investment
objective into index funds, sector funds, tax-saving schemes and so on
2. Debt Funds :
3. HYBRID FUNDS:
● These are funds which invest in both equities as well as debt instruments. For
this reason, they are less risky than equity funds, but more than debt funds.
● Similarly,they are likely to give you higher returns than debt funds, but lower
than equity funds. As a result, they are often called 'balanced funds'.
1. GROWTH FUNDS:
2. FIXED-INCOME FUNDS:
● These are schemes that promise regular income for a period of time. For this reason,
fixed-income funds are usually a kind of debt fund.
● This makes fixed-income funds low-risk schemes, which are unlikely to give you a
large amount of profit in the long-run.
● They pay higher dividends than growth funds. As with debt funds, they may be
further classified on the basis of the specific assets invested in or on the basis of
maturity.
3. BALANCED FUNDS:
● These schemes try to strike a balance between risk and return. They do so by
investing in both equities and debt instruments. As a result, they are a kind of hybrid
fund.
● Their risk is lower than equity or growth funds, but higher than debt or fixed-income
funds.
● INDEX SCHEMES:
● Indices serve as a benchmark to measure the performance of the market as a whole.
Indices are also formed to monitor performance of companies in a specific sector.
● Every index is formed of stock participants. The value of the index has a direct
relation to the value of the stocks. However, you cannot invest in an index directly. It
is merely an arbitrary number. So, to earn as much returns as the index, investors
prefer to invest in an Index fund.
● The fund invests in the index stock participants in the same proportion as the index.
● SECTOR FUNDS:
● These are a kind of equity scheme restrict their investing to one or more pre-defined
sectors, e.g. technology sector.
● Since they depend upon the performance of select sectors only, these schemes are
inherently more risky than general schemes. They are best suited for informed
investors, who wish to bet on a single sector.
● TAX-SAVING SCHEMES:
Investors are now encouraged to invest in the equity markets through the Equity Linked
Savings Scheme (ELSS) by offering them a tax rebate. When you invest in such schemes,
your total taxable income falls. However, there is a limit of Rs 1 lakh for tax purposes. The
crutch is that the units purchased cannot be redeemed, sold or transferred for a period of three
years.
However, in comparison with other tax-saving financial instruments like Public Provident
Funds (PPF) and Employee Provident Funds (EPF), ELSS funds have the lowest lock-in
period. An example of ELSS scheme is the Kotak ELSS scheme.
These schemes – a kind of debt fund – invest in short-term instruments such as commercial
paper (CP), certificates of deposit (CD), treasury bills (T-Bill) and overnight money (Call).
The schemes are the least volatile of all the types of schemes because of the short-term
maturities of the money-market instruments. These schemes have become popular with
institutional investors and high-net worth individuals having short-term surplus funds.
Expense Ratio :
Annual Fund Operating Expenses, mostly known as the expense ratio, is the percentage of
assets payable to the fund manager (i.e. AMC). The asset manager, with the help of a team
of analysts and other experts, allocate, manage (including the auditor & advisor fees) and
advertise the fund to maximize returns and manage risks.
Sharpe Ratio :
Sharpe Ratio measures how well the fund has performed vis-a vis the risk taken by it. It is
the excess return over risk-free return (usually return from treasury bills or government
securities) divided by the standard deviation. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the
fund has performed in proportion to the risk taken by it. The Sharpe ratio is also known as
Reward-to-Variability ratio and it is named after William Forsyth Sharpe .A ratio higher
than 2 is rated as very good, and a ratio of 3 or higher is considered excellent. The basic
purpose of the Sharpe ratio is to allow an investor to analyze how much greater a return he
or she is obtaining in relation to the level of additional risk taken to generate that return
Computation:
Alpha Ratio :
Alpha measures the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance,
given its level of risk (as measured by beta). A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has
performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates a fund has
underperformed, given the expectations established by the fund's beta.
Exit Load :
An exit load refers to the fee that the Asset Management Companies (AMC) charge the
investor at the time of exiting or redeeming a scheme. Sometimes it also refers to commission
to the fund house or pre-exit penalty, if the investor exits the fund before the lock-in period is
over. Not all funds levy an exit charge. The exit fee is usually a percentage of the Net Asset
Value (NAV) of the mutual fund held by investors. Once the AMC deducts the exit load from
the total Net Asset Value, the remaining amount gets credited to the investor’s account.

Interpretation :
Both the funds are at moderately high risk to invest in.
1.Expense ratio measures the per unit cost of managing a fund. The figure
is arrived at by dividing the fund’s total expenses by its assets under
management. There are various costs the AMC incurs which forms part of
the expense ratio. For example, the AMC has a fund management team
which consists of highly qualified professionals who track the markets and
companies in the portfolio. They make decisions to buy and sell securities to
meet the objectives of the scheme. In addition, the asset management
company also incurs expenses such for transfer and registrar, custodian,
legal, audit fees, and fees to be paid for marketing and distribution of its
products. These costs are recovered through its unit holders on a daily
basis. The daily net asset values (NAVs) of a fund scheme are reported
after deducting such expensesExpense ratio of SBI Bluechip Mutual fund
2.42 and ICICI Bluechip Mutual fund is 2.3 so SBI bluechip Mutual Fund
so investors have to pay more to SBI then ICICI
2. Sharpe Ratio :
Sharpe ratio is a comprehensive mechanism to ascertain the performance
of a fund against a given level of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio of a
portfolio, the better is its risk-adjusted performance. However, if you
obtain a negative Sharpe Ratio, then it means that you would be better off
investing in a risk-less asset than the one in which you are invested right
now. Sharpe ratio of both SBI and ICICI mutual fund is in negative thus it
would be better of investing in any risk free asset than investing in any of
the one
3.Information Ratio :
The Information ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of a
financial security (or asset or portfolio). It is also known as Appraisal ratio.
Information ratio is expected active return divided by tracking error,
where active return is the difference between the return of the security and
the return of a selected benchmark index, and tracking error is the
standard deviation of the active return.
ICICI information ratio is better than SBI (-1.38 ) against that of ICICI
which stands at ( -0.26).
4. Alpha ratio :
Alpha is calculated as
Alpha = {(Fund return-Risk free return) – (Funds beta) *(Benchmark
return- risk free return)}.
Both the funds stand at negative alpha which is (- 6.37) for SBI and (-3.82)
for ICICI means they have underperformed their benchmarks with ICICI
been better than SBI here.
5. Beta ratio :
Beta is a measure of mutual fund schemes volatility compared to its
benchmark.
Beta = (Standard deviation of mutual fund scheme/Standard Deviation of
Benchmark)* R-Square
Beta standard for market is 1.0 if it is less than 1.0 it is less volatile with
respect to market and if it is more than 1.0 it is more volatile to the market.
eg. A fund with beta value more than 1 would move more volatile than the
market. i.e. if market moves up 100% a fund with beta value of 1.5 would
move up by 150% and if market comes down by 20% the fund will come
down by 30%.
If beta value is less than 1 it means fund will be less volatile than the
benchmark. i.e. if market moves up 100% a fund with beta value of 0.75
would move up by 75% and if market comes down by 20% the fund will
come down by 15%.
Beta of SBI is (0.91) and of ICICI is (0.88) means both are less volatile to
the changes in market.
Performance Section
The Compounded Annual Growth Rate or CAGR returns for both the schemes at different
time intervals are compared in this section. Some such time intervals include 1 Month Return,
6 Month Return, 3 Year Return, and Return Since Inception. With respect to the performance,
it can be said that for certain time intervals, the returns generated by both the schemes are
same. While in certain intervals, SBI Blue Chip Fund leads the race and in others, ICICI
Prudential Bluechip Fund lead the race. However, there is not much significant difference
between the returns generated by both the schemes. The summary comparison of the
performance section is tabulated as follows
.
3 Month 3% 3.20%
This section is the third section in the comparison and the element compared is absolute
returns generated for a particular year. The comparison of yearly performance section also
reveals that for certain years, ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund leads the race while in others,
SBI Blue Chip Fund leads the race. However, here too the difference between the returns
generated by both the schemes is not different.
2015 8% -0.20%
Last Section includes elements like AUM, minimum SIP and lumpsum
investment. To begin with the AUM, it can be said that the AUM of both the
schemes is different with SBI Blue Chip Fund leading the race.
