Abstract

Saving is a virtue to an individual and source of capital for an economy. The intuition of the individual is to make their saving to earn for them for their future needs. Hence, they have the option of investing in safe assets, risky assets, or a mix of both. Shares, mutual funds, bank deposits, life insurance, real estate, RDs, post-retirement savings, derivatives, bonds, and other investment vehicles are among the several types available. Investors should be aware of the risk and reward of any financial asset before making an investment. This paper focuses on mutual fund investments as well as investors' perceptions on their investment choices in the Bangalore City. Data has been gathered and processed based on the questionnaire. As a result, for reasons of safety, most investors are drawn to investing in the banking sector.
