BETA 





A Beta is a measure of risk. It compares a mutual fund’s volatility with that of a benchmark. If the beta of the stock is 1, it means that the returns in the stock are highly correlated to the benchmark index. If Beta is greater than 1, it means the stock is more volatile. If Beta is less than 1, than the stock is less volatile.

FINDINGS ICICI PRU--This fund has an aggressive stock-picking style, but with a careful eye on risk control. -The fund has a great exposure to banking and software sector stocks.  FRANKLIN TEMPLETON— - Franklin India Blue-chip fund is one of the biggest diversified equity funds and is one of the most preferred large cap funds. - One of the astonishing features of the fund’s investment style is the buy-and hold-strategy. 

RELIANCE -High returns can be expected from this fund but its aggressiveness does not make it apt for conservative investors.  HDFC -The fund's exposure to large-cap stocks is a cushion in the falling markets. It has not been a top performer as some of the other mid-cap funds, but quite a consistent one -This fund is a good bet for those wanting to invest in mid-caps but not willing to take too much of a risk. 

CONCLUSIONS 

  

Best option consider by the investors when it comes to investing their money in Mutual Funds. This industry is growing at a good pace. Money Invested in Mutual Funds is safe.
