A Study On The Changing Landscape Of Mutual Fund Industry In India

Abstract

Over the years, the Indian mutual fund industry has undergone significant transformations. The regulator has been keeping an eye on things from a variety of angles. Accordingly, any attempt from any direction that can negatively influence investors is taken seriously by the regulator as soon as possible. As a result, investors are increasingly turning to mutual funds as one of their investing options. In this backdrop, the paper's broad objectives are outlined below: (a) to point out the significant changes occurring in the Indian mutual fund sector; (b) to examine the challenges that hinder the future development of the Indian mutual fund industry; and (c) to suggest possible solutions for the continued growth of the Indian mutual fund sector. The study gathers information from secondary sources such as articles, reports, magazines, newspapers, and web resources and the observations are put together in keeping with the paper's overall objectives. Recent changes that are expected to have an impact on the landscape of the Indian mutual fund business are addressed. The major issues plaguing the sector are emphasised, as are potential solutions.
