But in past few years due to various reasons like continuously falling of interest rates, various scams etc. investors will have to look for various other investments avenues that will give them better returns with minimization of risks.
Here Mutual Funds Industry has very important role to play in providing alternate investment avenue to entire gamut of investors in scientific and professional manner. Indian Mutual Fund Industry has been definitely maturing over the period. In four decades of its existence in India Mutual Funds have gone through various structural changes and gained prominent position in Financial Industry. Because of easy of investments, professional management and diversification more and more investors are gaining confidence in Mutual Funds.
