Abstract

Mutual Funds have emerged as an important investment alternative to invest in the capital markets. They provide an opportunity to avail the services of professionals at a very nominal cost, even in the case of small investments.

Knowing the perception of mutual fund investors can help these institutions to market their schemes in a better way. In this context, the present study is an attempt to study the perception of mutual fund investors regarding a few important aspects.
