Abstract

Today generation is totally changed. Financial independence become the key. Investment options are considered one of the most efficient and important in the case of fight against the deadly inflation. Mutual funds plays a key role as part of the investment market are becoming increasingly popular among investors due to their convenience and the ability to make easy transactions with good returns. However, very few of them are not preferred because they are highly dependent on volatile stock markets and it is very difficult to differentiate their product range to satisfy retail investors. Therefore, the time has come when we have to understand and also analyse perceptions and expectations of a common investor of mutual fund and to disclose the data which is too very much important to defend the investment decisions of a mutual fund investor and also the asset managers of mutual funds. The ever-expanding financial market offers a large number of financial products, necessitating innovation in investment fund portfolio design. However, these changes need to be consistent with the demand of the investors. Therefore, it is very important to study the mutual funds investment from a different side, focusing on investors' perceptions and demands and disclosing the key parameters that are causing investors’ dissatisfaction in investment. This research study keep insights on various factors that highlight investors’ demand and also the perception in case of mutual fund investment. Mutual funds have now become known to investors, but investors still rely on bank or gold deposits. Also a huge number of investors are new to it. They have stop investing their money in mutual funds for more than three years and have withdrawn from the fund. SIP investment and Lump Sum Investment are at the top of the investors’ priority list. It also shown in the study that most investors do not consider the investment risks and rely on internet or brokers and agents to do so.
