Investor awareness and behavioural trends in mutual fund investments
Author(s): Neetu, Dr. Mahipal Singh and Dr. Neeraj Kumar
Abstract: This study examines the awareness and behaviour of retail investors towards mutual fund investments, focusing on investment preferences and fund performance evaluation. Using a quantitative research design, data was collected from mutual fund databases, SEBI reports, AMFI disclosures, and structured investor surveys. The study employs correlation analysis, chi-square tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis to assess key investment factors such as risk tolerance, diversification, and historical returns. Results indicate a strong correlation (r = 0.602, p< 0.01) between diversification and return expectations, while ANOVA confirmed significant variations in mutual fund performance (Sharpe Ratio: F = 7.83, p< 0.01). Regression analysis revealed that higher expense ratios negatively impact returns. The findings emphasize the need for low-cost funds, transparent disclosures, and financial literacy programs. These insights are valuable for investors, fund managers, and policymakers to enhance investment strategies and promote a stable, efficient, and informed mutual fund market.
