Conclusion
With the globalize economy and immense competition among countries for faster
development of their respective economies, the significance of Mutual Funds and Foreign
investment has taken manifold. With a buoyant vibrant and experienced stock market, India
today is looking ahead to surpass China in terms of foreign Investment and growth
prospects. Stock exchange being the barometer of the economy plays a vital role in
showcasing growth of an economy and luring investment. While studying the role of Mutual
fund and FIIs in Stock Market, I discussed with a few persons who are into stock broking
business. And the information they have provided shows that though the investment and
participation of domestic investors are rising, still, they have not been able to prove
themselves to be as influential as mutual funds and FIIs.
Importance and the role of Mutual funds and FIIs play in the Indian stock market can be
seen from the fact that the recent surge in Sensex and NIFTY is attributed to the active
participation of FIIs in the Stock Market. Despite being aware of the Asian economic crisis
where FIIs role was of a major concern, the importance of foreign capital in the development
of economy can not be undermined in anyway so the people more emphasis on mutual fund
to earn more return increasing our benefit .
Recommendation and suggestions
The most vital problem spotted is of ignorance. Investors should be made aware of the
benefits. Nobody will invest until and unless he is fully convinced. Investors should be made
to realize that ignorance is no longer bliss and what they are losing by not investing.
Mutual funds offer a lot of benefit which no other single option could offer. But most of the
people are not even aware of what actually a mutual fund is? They only see it as just another
investment option. So the advisors should try to change their mindsets. The advisors should
target for more and more young investors. Young investors as well as persons at the height
of their career would like to go for advisors due to lack of expertise and time.
The advisors may try to highlight some of the value added benefits of Mutual funds such as
tax benefit, rupee cost averaging, and systematic transfer plan, rebalancing etc. these
benefits are not offered by other options single-handedly. So these are enough to drive the
investors towards mutual funds. Investors could also try to increase the spectrum of services
offered.
Now the most important reason for not availing the services of advisors was spotted was
being expensive. The advisors should try to charge a nominal fee at the beginning. But if not
possible then they could go for offering more services and benefits at the existing rate. They
should also maintain their decency and follow the code of ethics so that the investors could
trust upon them. Thus the advisors should try to attract more and more persons and turn
them into investors and finally their clients.
