Abstract

India is re-emerging as an economic power on the world stage with its rapidly growing economy
becoming an investment led economy. Ever expanding impact of economic liberalization,
privatization and globalization; growing incomes, savings and investments by individuals to
fulfil their future requirements through achieving higher returns; rising risk-return appetites; and
booming Indian stock markets with benchmark indices touching new all-time-highs; this all have
generated a fervent environment for investments in the Indian equity markets. Unit Linked
Insurance Plans (ULIPs) and Mutual Funds and being professionally managed and well
regulated; are becoming the most eligible proxies to investments in equities. In this paper a study
in the field of performance evaluation of Indian equity based mutual funds and ULIP funds is
carried out to work out a comparative analysis of ULIPs and Mutual Funds.
