For this a sample of 400 individual investors has been selected to analyse the objectives of mutual fund investors, weighted score ranking of objectives and its association with time horizon and demographic profile of investors. The current research revealed that the investment objectives of mutual fund investors vary with their time horizon of investment where as it doesn’t vary with demographic features.
