There are many reasons to invest in mutual funds such as dividend declarations, tax benefits, lesser risk, and value of assets, cost etc. The mutual fund industry in India has undergone a most successful phase in the last 10 years. The AUM has shown a tremendous growth since inception from Rs.25 crore in 1965 to Rs.701443 crore in March 2013. The growth in number of schemes offered by Indian mutual funds from 403 schemes in 2002-03 to 1294 schemes in 2011-12 has shown the inclination of investors towards mutual fund.
