To have a real life exposure, each student of Department of Business Administration, of Shah Jalal University of Science and Technology has to carry out an internship program as an integral part of his/her BBA degree.\r\nSince, only the supposed knowledge ordure non make one fit for change magnitude competitive situation of the world, the internship placement committee h ad put me at ICB for a period of three months. Other objective of this study is as follows: ? To relate donnish knowledge with real life line world. ? To have an overall idea about the role of ICB in the capital market of Bangladesh with a special idiom on ICB sponsored Mutual Funds[1]. ? To analyse the profitability of ICB sponsored mutual funds. ? To find out common drawback and lacking of ICB, if there is any, and recommend an action plan. 1. 2 Scope of the Study The scope of this report is only one organisation i. e.\r\nInvestment potbelly of Bangladesh (ICB) and specially the Mutual Funds as it is the focus return sphere of this report. It has been have-to doe withed earlier, the main objective of the study is to analyse the role of ICB in the development of Capital market in Bangladesh with an fierceness on ICB sponsored mutual funds. The report gives an overview of ICB followed by a part on financial involvement of ICB. The report establishes the theoretical and con ceptual modelling comparing with which the capital market will be judged. There is one elucidate part that deals with the ICB sponsored mutual funds. The study will also fork over some problems of ICB observed during the internship coupled with some recomm cease action plan. 1. Methodology of the Study Methodology tooshie be referred as underlying principles and rules of organization or the philosophical systems that work at the backdrop of any study. It clarifies the problems involving the inquiry in a very acquaintd and systematic fashion. Strategies are determined at this stage for future implementation. In conducting any formal curriculum vitae and preparing any research paper two kinds of info i. e. Primary Data and Secondary Data, are used. I tried my trounce to quest both types of entropy and information and have firm intention to emphasis on primary data as it is a good deal up-to-date and more useful than any create information.\r\nInitially we stash away raw data from departments of ICB and then sort out useful information pertinent to my paper. Approaches and methods that have been used to prepare this report are as follows. 1. Personal interview: ICB has 25 departments and three subsidiary companies so far. I personally interviewed well-nigh all AGMs of all departments and talked with the senior Principal Officer, point Officer and other officer of concerned departments. 2. instruct Session: variance heads (DGMs[2]) and department heads (AGMs) or their authorize officials gave briefs about their respective departments. nurture collect from these sessions has been used in the report. 3.\r\nPublished reports: a large tally of data are taken from the promulgated sources such as ICB’s annual reports of previous familys, Annual reports ICB Mutual Funds, Monthly review of capital of Bangladesh and Chittagong extraction Exchange. 4. Selection of the sample: the sample area of this study covers the head office of ICB. Since the central financial activities are done under surveillance of the head office of ICB, so the selection of sample of this study is justifiable. Data collected from distinct divisions of ICB are all equally important segments of sample used in this study. ICB as a national investment institution has added a tempo in developing the capital market of Bangladesh. As a result of this richness the selection of ICB as the sample area of this study is presumably the solicit of the time. 5.\r\nTime fascinates: As verbalise earlier since the purpose of this internship program is an exposure to practical life, the ICB management has deputed me to all the division, departments, sections and cell to acquire hand-on-experience about each of them. I have visited the departments according to the following schedule. | |Name of the Departments |From |To | |  |  | |  | |1 |Personnel Department |27. 03. 2006 |28. 03. 006 | |2 |Secretary Department |29. 03. 2006 |  | |3 |Planning res earch and Business development Dept. |30. 04. 2006 |09. 04. 2006 | |4 |Management Information Dept. |10. 04. 2006 |12. 04. 2006 | |5 |Securities Analysis Dept. |13. 04. 2006 |16. 04. 2006 | |6 |Investors Dept |17. 04. 2006 |19. 04. 2006 | |7 |Shares Dept. and balancing carrel |20. 04. 2006 |25. 04. 2006 | |8 | building block sales Dept. |26. 04. 006 |27. 04. 2006 | |9 |whole registration and collection Dept. |30. 04. 2006 |02. 05. 2006 | |10 |Mutual Fund Dept. |03. 05. 2006 |07. 05. 2006 | |11 |Central Accounts Dept. |08. 05. 2006 |10. 05. 2006 | |12 | corpse Analysis Dept. |14. 05. 2006 |15. 05. 2006 | |13 |scheduling Dept. |16. 05. 2006 |17. 05. 2006 | |14 | impart approximation Dept/Lien Cell |18. 05. 2006 |21. 05. 2006 | |15 |SAARC Cell |22. 05. 006 |—- | |16 |Project Implementation Dept. |23. 05. 2006 |—- | |17 | lend Recovery and Monitoring Dept. |24. 05. 2006 |25. 05. 2006 | |18 |Project Loan Account Dept. |28. 05. 2006 |—- | |19 | prevalent Issue Dep t. |29. 05. 2006 |—- | |20 |Trustee Dept. |30. 05. 2006 |31. 05. 2006 | |21 | honor Dept. |01. 06. 2006 |04. 06. 2006 | |22 | analyse and Method Dept. |05. 06. 2006 |06. 06. 2006 | |23 |Department Control Dept |07. 06. 006 |—- | |24 |Establishment Dept. |08. 06. 2006 |11. 06. 2006 | |25 |public Relation Dept. |12. 06. 2006 |—- | |26 |ICB Asset Management Company Ltd |13. 06. 2006 |15. 06. 2006 | |27 |ICB Capital Management Ltd |18. 06. 2006 |20. 06. 2006 | |28 |ICB Securities Trading Ltd |21. 06. 2006 |26. 06. 2006 | Table 1. 1: Schedule of working at ICB 1. 4 Limitations of the Study Limitations are obvious in any study so do here.\r\nSince this is an internship report, the limitations regarding the internship programm has acted as the limitation of the study. The findings we calculate out, and the recommendation we made whitethorn non be 100% accurate and may not meet the exact situation. Eventually, in completion of my study, a number of constraints and l imitations I faced. These cease be considered as follows: ? Performance analysis of ICB and its mutual funds may not represent the current condition of the organisation and its mutual funds as all the analysis are found on the data of June 30, 2005. Since the current course financial disclosures are not public yet, so the analysis is a little backdated. ? Officials of ICB maintain a very busy schedule.\r\nSo they were not invariably able to provide enough time to better the intern students every time, even if they had the intention to do so. ? Due to security reasons and organizational privacy we didn’t have access to some core areas of ICB. ? I had to go almost every department of ICB during my three months internship programm at ICB. Three months is a very minuscule span of time to get an in-depth knowledge about a giant organization like ICB. ? The area covered by the report â€Å"The role of ICB in the development of Capital Market in Bangladesh: A Performance Eval uation of ICB Mutual Funds” concerns a huge a number of activities and it is very gruelling to sk etcetera a total picture of the financial activities in a report of this short scale. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |CHAPTER TWO | | | | | |ICB AND ITS FUNCTIONS | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2. 1 Background of the ICB The investment corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) was established on 1st October 1976, under â€Å"The Investment Corporation of Bangladesh ordinance, 1976” (no XL of 1976).\r\nThe establishment of ICB was a major tread in a series of measures undertaken by the Government to repair the pace of industrialization and to develop a well organized and vibrant capital market particularly securities market in Bangladesh.
