In finance a share is a unit of account for various
financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds,
limited partnerships, and REIT's.
Whereas a mutual fund is a form of collective investment
that pools money from many investors and invests the money
in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments,
and/or other securities.

I am guessing what you want to know is the difference
between buying stock and mutual fund? In a nutshell, with a
same amount of money:
- mutual fund gives you diversify your investment, such
that risk of loss is reduced.
- stock gives you the focus investment, such that when
there an increase in the value, your return will be higher
(than mutal fund). However, the risk of loss will be higher.

Answer / neelima

Share is a direct investment in a capital market. where as
mutual funds are an indirect investment to enter into
capital market. in mutual funds there is no option to the
investor to get into the market, by pooling the money from
public and investing into a financial markets through the
fund managers. shares are risky investments where as mutual
funds are low risk investors with a small investments which
are affordable to the investors and risk is diversified by
the fund managers by selecting a portfolio of different
stocks.

Answer / ankit dabda

Shares are a small part of mutual fund. When you are investing in the shares then you are buying the risk and profit of that company and ownership to an extent. But in case of mutual funds you buy the unites of that fund and further this collected fund is used to invest in shares and other types of securities like debentures, bonds and in money market. So we can say that in shares you directly invest and have control to take decisions as your own. But in mutual funds , you can just minimize your plan(again given by company)for example if I purchase shares of a company then I can sell them any time if i feel any kind of risk but in case of I can only change my proportion as few percentage in equity shares and other in debt market but I cant say not to buy or sell the shares of a particular company which AMC has purchased on behalf of the mutual fund investors.Risk and return will be shared mutually by everyone in mutual funds.

CASE STUDY: S.C. Computers has been mismanaged by its promoter. The Company has over 50,000 employees with software expertise. It has clients over the last 15 years in 50 countries. The mismanagement has led to a severe cash crunch with no cash to meet even salary requirements. While the internal situation is one of financial and employee morale crisis, externally it enjoys the confidence of its clientele. The Government wants such a valuable institution, built over several years, to be saved so that it can continue to contribute to national wealth creation, but at the same time does not wish to extend direct financial assistance, lest it amounts to encouraging or subsidizing mismanagement. In one page, suggest the broad elements of a Business Continuity Plan covering all aspects (not just financial alone) specifically applicable to this situation.
