Sample questions from the bank

Q1. Which of the following entities is responsible for the day-to-day management of a mutual fund scheme?

A. Trustee
B. Sponsor
C. Asset Management Company
D. Custodian

EXPLANATION

The Asset Management Company (AMC) is responsible for managing the investments and day-to-day operations of mutual fund schemes. Trustees provide oversight but do not manage schemes directly.

Q2. The Net Asset Value (NAV) of a mutual fund scheme is calculated:

A. Once a week on every Monday
B. At the end of every business day
C. Once a month on the last working day
D. Only when a transaction is placed

EXPLANATION

SEBI regulations require AMCs to calculate and publish the NAV of open-ended schemes at the end of every business day. This ensures investors always transact at a fair, current price.

Q3. Under AMFI guidelines, which of the following commissions is currently permitted for mutual fund distributors?

A. Upfront commission only
B. Both upfront and trail commission
C. Trail commission only
D. Performance-linked bonus only
