Abstract

Investment is a carefully planned and individually optimized activity involving an individual creating a customized plan of investment to meets his needs, which is constrained by his disposable income, risk-bearing capacity and knowledge of the financial market. This paper is an attempt to study the awareness of hybrid mutual funds among youth in India and the factors which influence the decision to invest in hybrid mutual funds. It was found that the majority of respondents are not aware of hybrid funds but respondents who had invested in mutual funds were more likely to know about hybrid funds. Retail investors, in general, prefer an investment having moderate risk and moderate return in aggregate. Investors are giving the highest importance to the prospects of the company with access to cheap funds and media coverage given the least importance.
