CHAPTER – 5
Problem, Recommendation & Conclusion
FINDINGS:
Problem Related to the ICB Mutual Fund:
Mutual funds are managed and run by a professional management team , the success and growth of the mutual funds depend future profitability and investors confidence also depend on the management performance .
During the internship at ICB, I have found some problems, which can affect the fund future and the confidence of the investors. There are some problems related to fund. They are as follows:
From depositor’s Point of view:
- The services provided by the related personnel are not prompt. It is taking more than required time for giving the service.
- Same laggard procedure is also taking place at the time of execution of order.
- Withdrawal of any funds of securities is also very lengthy and complicated process and inefficiently managed.
From Portfolio investment point of view:
ICB has not yet done any systematic analysis for measuring how they are doing. ICB has not identified any key variables to size up all its diversified performance.
From Capital market point of view:
- Dividend is one of the sources of income for the mutual fund. Most of the companies do not declare dividend up to satisfactory level.
- The rate of supply of fundamentally strong securities is very low.
- Political unsteady position also hearts the investor’s sentiment in the market and thereby leads to flat the stock market.
- Using costly borrowing capital for the investment on securities is another factor causing problem for high expenditure of maintenance of funds, which affects the income of fund
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Recommendations ICB Mutual Funds are suggested are on the basis of the problems. These are:
- The interest of making portfolio of proposed funds and the existing ICB unit mutual fund profitable and attractive, it is imperative to design balance portfolio of securities. As the supply of securities is not adequate, I think, the portfolio is envisaged to be designed and developed from the following sources:
- Shares of multinational companies
- Shares of public enterprises
- Primary issue of securities by companies
- Secondary market operation.
Share of public enterprises means government has been pursuing policy of divesting 49% shares of government enterprises of public subscription. In this regard govt. should reserve 30% of all new issues in all cases for ICB.
- Reserve should be kept at a minimum level; it may vary fund to fund, but not more than 25% of a fund’s income.
- Investing in costly borrowing funds should be reduced. Management may look for sources of less costly funds and reduce expenses and increase income.
- ICB should fix redemption date of each fund. I may redeem 1st, 2nd, and 3rd mutual fund. Because these funds are established for more than 15 years.
- ICB may take initiative and decision to float more funds for the stabilization of capital market and for gaining of investor’s confidence to invest in the capital market.
- ICB should reduce interest rate.
- Orders are to be executed quickly.
- Training program should be arranged for developing of management efficiency.
CONCLUSION:
ICB is a unique name in our country as an investment Bank. It is playing a pivotal role to develop the country’s capital market, ICB as the National Investment House is the organization to per from the activities by creating demand for securities and on the other hand to ensure the supply of securities in the Capital Market. ICB’s investor’s scheme helps to boost up domestic economy through facilitating to invest into the capital market. At a stage, this made an important effect on the capital market and excellent response from the investor’s/ the floatation of mutual funds and issuance of unit certificates by the ICB strengthens the activities of mutual fund.
Mutual Fund department is appreciably innovative, explorative and dynamic. ICB should specially continue the operations and management of mutual fund because most of the small investors are key clients of mutual fund. But still, Mutual Funds are not above the shortcomings. So, ICB should concentrate to increase the performance of its mutual fund and way to find out the path for overcoming the problems of operations.
We are quite optimistic that if the given recommendations of this paper are implemented then ICB mutual fund may be able to overcome its present problems and may enlarge its contribution to the rapid development of Bangladesh capital market.
