A Study On Mutual Funds At India Infoline Finance Limited

Abstract

Mutual funds have emerged as one of the most popular investment instruments in India, offering a professionally managed avenue for both individual and institutional investors. This study aims to explore the dynamics of mutual fund investments, including investor behavior, risk-return analysis, and performance evaluation of various mutual fund schemes. The primary objective of the study is to analyze investor preferences and awareness regarding mutual funds and to evaluate the performance of selected mutual fund schemes across different categories such as equity, debt, and hybrid funds.Findings reveal that most investors prioritize safety and return while investing, with awareness and financial literacy significantly influencing their choices. Equity mutual funds are found to be more attractive to younger investors due to higher return potential, whereas older investors prefer debt-oriented schemes for stability. The study concludes with suggestions to enhance investor awareness, transparency in fund management, and the need for continuous monitoring of mutual fund performance.
