Abstract

In the fastest-growing economy of India, the mutual fund industry puts an emerging footprint in economic growth and development. Mutual funds create a simple and viable path for saving and investment. The mutual fund includes various investment benefits like liquidity, timely return, fund diversification, widespread analysis monetary allocation vis-à-vis a full disclosure of fund management. There are various investment products available for investment in the financial market. However, all these investment products must be able to meet an investor’s expectations? Hence to know the investor’s perception and expectation, it is necessary to study the implications of mutual funds from a unique perspective. This paper explains how different factors are affecting an individual’s perception of mutual funds. As per the findings, individuals are more inclined to traditional investment than an investment in a mutual fund. Those who have invested in mutual funds, most of them were selected equity option and Systematic investment plan or SIP. Another finding is that investors don’t want to analyze the inherent risks associated with the investment and need their fund managers and broker’s advice.
