SUGGESTIONS• Study shows that people from Group A show
low interest in MF investment so AMC’s are required are required to pay more attention to this segment.
• AMC’s have to develop variety of product so that investors from all groups (age, income, occupation etc) can invest in a MF products.
• The AMC should maintain relationship with the banks at a regular basis, as it is one of most potential source for getting investment.

• Investors are influenced by the extent and quality of disclosure of Information subsequent to their investment regarding disclosure of NAV, Portfolio of investment and disclosure of deviation of investment from the stated objectives and the attached fringe benefits to the scheme in their selection of the scheme.
• The AMC should provide the little bit fixed returns on investment so that the investors can rely on that.

• Before development of any mutual fund product AMC’s should consider what the expectations of investors are so that MF product fulfill the financial needs of investor.
• Mutual fund schemes should give added benefits like “Insurance coverage” to attract more number of investors.
• The AMC should maintain relationship with the banks at a regular basis, as it is one of most potential source for getting investment.
