“ Mutual Fund Investment Behaviour; A Study on Association between the Variables of Investment Behaviour and Investors Attitude."
Abstract
This study evaluates the association between the variables of investment behaviour and investors attitude. We used chi- square analysis for the better understanding of association between the investment behaviour and investors attitude.Our findings from the investors indicate that there is a association between the investment behaviour and investors attitude.It was found that asymptotic significance for Pearson Chi-Square comes out to be less than 0.05, so we reject the all null hypothesis at 5% level of significance. Hence it can be concluded that two variables are associated and all the variables of investment behaviour are associated with the investors attitude. Finally our analysis do not support the hypotheses, investors with different risk-taking ability have different variables of investment behaviour. Here the analysis has been done to analyse, investors attitude of the different groups of i.e. rational, cautious and gambling attitude retail investors of eastern U.P. while making an investment in the mutual fund
