SUGGESTIONS
Based on the study, the following suggestions can be made. The suggestions for the better
performanceofthemutualfundsare:
Most of the investors are unaware of the various schemes of mutual funds. So initiative
shouldbetakentospreadawarenessaboutmutualfund.
The commission charged for offering the service by mutual fund companies should be
reduced.
Increasetheceilinglimitofforeigninvestmentinmutualfund(presentlyUS$50million)
Themutualfundsshouldadoptmoreinvestorfriendlyprogrammes.
