Abstract

The Indian mutual funds industry is witnessing a hasty growth as a result of infrastructural development, increase in personal financial assets, and rise in foreign participation. With the growing risk appetite, rising income, and increasing consciousness, mutual funds in India are becoming a preferred investment option. In the past a few years, we had seen a dramatic growth of the Indian MF industry with many private players bringing global expertise to the Indian MF Industry. The study focuses on the risk and return of the selected mutual funds schemes in India. Risk refers to relatively objective probabilities which can be computed on the basis of past experience or some prior principle. Risk may be defined as the chance of variations in actual return. Return is defined as the gain in the value of investment. The return on an investment portfolio helps an investor to evaluate the financial performance of the investment. The article main aim is to evaluate the performance of selected mutual funds in India.
