CHAPTER 5
FINDINGS
 The main reason why people invest in Mutual funds is due to the risk
diversification. And people with very little surplus can also invest in Mutual fund
through the Systematic investment plan (SIP) that requires only Rs.500 as initial
investment.
 Investors falling under the age group of 20 – 50 years have largely invested in
mutual funds apart from real estate. The retired section of people goes for fixed
deposits and insurance as their preferred investment.
 People with moderate income and who save less than 25% of their income
have invested in Mutual funds. And investors with considerably good risk appetite
have chosen Shares/stocks as investment mode.
 Professionals and service sectors people have largely selected Mutual funds
as their best mode of investment.
 As far as awareness level is considered the Female investors are well aware
of the advantages of Mutual fund investment even better than their male
counterparts.
64
 The main reason for investing in Mutual fund is the investors perception of its
low risk.
 Majority of the investors of Mutual funds have opted for Equity scheme and
growth option.
 As far as asset management companies are considered, SBI preferred for

reliability and past performance, Reliance is selected for Brand image and Customer
service.
 Though people prefer investing in real estates they are not able to do so due
to insufficient funds.
65
CHAPTER 6
SUGGESTIONS
 Female group of the investors have to be targeted and better awareness level
have to be created. By doing so the number of Mutual fund investors can be
increased.
 The retired group of people has to be ensured about the risk diversification
concept in Mutual fund. The investors who are above 60 years of age are a good
source of lump sum investment.
 To increase the market share professionals and people in service sector

should be targeted.
 Moderate income group should be continuously contacted. The reasons for

high income group not going for Mutual fund investment should be analyzed for
evolving suitable strategy for bringing them also under the fold of Mutual fund.
 Marketing staff should be better motivated during the time of new fund offers
from asset management companies like Reliance and SBI.
66
 The advantage of on going funds can also be explained clearly to the

investors during other times to ensure that there is business all through the year for
KARVY.
 Through the existing database, based on the income level, new financial
products and schemes could be targeted at a particular income category, which the
company can do easily.
CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
The study helped in bringing out the various investment opportunities

available for the investors. Among all the investments, there were very specific
reasons to why people preferred investing in one mode of investment. The
dominating factor as far as Mutual fund investment was considered is the very low
risk due to diversification.
As far as Asset management companies were considered there was clarity

among the investors as to which company’s products should be selected for
investing. The demographic factor played vital role in their decision making process.
For those Asset management companies that have not captured the attention of the
investors should go on with more advertisements and research so that they get more
support from the client side. Thus this study helped to understand the perception of
investors.
The future scope of research area may be a study that concentrates more on
specific sector such as the lump sum investors or the SIP (systematic investment
plan) investors. This will help in getting clear picture of the segments of investors.
