HYPOTHESIS RESULT:

7. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Tapping the upcoming market - Semi Urban Market as there is a lot of
opportunity. Most of the Mutual Funds are operating in the metros and big cities as
per their present branch office locations. If they have to increase their market size
they have to open more distribution centers at the various urban and semi-urban
markets.
 To known the perception about the Mutual Fund and not about the generic product.
Various respondents were not aware of the mutual fund products and the type of
mutual fund schemes. Those people have knowledge about Mutual Fund his
feedback was mostly positive.
 There should be an effective communication between the mutual fund seller and
purchaser.
 Investor should be made realized that if he is not investing in mutual funds now
what he is losing for the future.
