The above said three attributes with high factor loading on 3 are characterized as Tax. The higher factor loading of the factors indicate that the factor 3 underlines that variable. The higher value of communality for the three factors indicates that higher amount of variance is explained by the extracted factors. LIQUIDITY Liquidity refers to the speed with which an asset can be converted into cash without much loss of its economic value. Many corporate shares are not actively traded at the stock exchanges. But in case of open-ended scheme the Mutual Funds provide the facility of buy-back of the units from investors at a price fixed by them. Liquidity is thus provided to the investors.

6 A Study On s Motivating The Investment Decision Of Mutual Fund Investors value of communality for the two variables indicates that higher amount of variance is explained by the extracted factors. TRANSPARENCY Mutual funds are subject to strict regulation and oversight by SEBI. As part of this regulation all mutual funds provide full and complete disclosures about the funds in a written offer documents. TABLE 6: FACTOR 5 - TRANSPARENCY Annual reports are published regularly Unit holders are updated on their investment status Investors know the securities and Proportion in which their money will be invested The variables such as Annual reports are published regularly, Unit holders are updated on their investment status and Investors know the securities and Proportion in which their money will be invested with high factor loading constituted factor 5. The above said variables with high factor loading on factor 5 are characterized as Transparency. The higher factor loading on its factor helps in identifying factors associated with factor 5. All the variables have high communality, indicating that the variables within factor 5 have very high association. CHOICES OF SCHEMES AMFI has classified mutual fund schemes into following 7 broad categories according to their basic investment objectives: Growth Income Balanced 4.Liquid & Money Market 5.Gilt 6.Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) and 7.Fund of Funds. Each of these categories can further be classified into more categories.

7 A Study On s Motivating The Investment Decision Of Mutual Fund Investors factor 6 have very high association among them. REGULATIONS Mutual funds are subject to strict regulation and oversight by SEBI. Investments by mutual funds are subject to investment restrictions.

PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT Mutual funds are employing the persons of high caliber and expertise on financial matters. The employed professional experts who manage the investment portfolios efficiently and profitably. Professionals who decide investment strategy on behalf of the unit holders. TABLE 9: FACTOR 8 - PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT Very Qualified, Full time investment Managers The attribute Very Qualified, Full time investment Managers characterized as, Professional Management, is constituted as 8 with higher factor loading of The value for this attribute is INVESTMENT DECISION FACTORS FOR MUTUAL FUNDS analysis of twenty attributes relating to the buying behaviors of mutual funds identified eight investment decision factors and the Namex International Journal of Management Research 17 Vol. 3, Issue 1, Jan Jun 2013, ISSN:

8 A Study On s Motivating The Investment Decision Of Mutual Fund Investors results are presented in Table shown below: TABLE 10: INVESTMENT DECISION FACTORS FOR MUTUAL FUNDS s Eigen value Percentage of variance Rate of return Level of Risk Tax Liquidity Transparency Choice of Schemes Regulations Professional Management * Jausar-meyer-Olikin measures of sampling adequacy = * Bartlett s Test of Sphericity: Chi-Square = Degree of freedom = 190 Significance = Cumulative Percentage of Variance It is observed from above Table that the eight factors such as Professional Management, Diversification of Risk, High return, Liquidity, Transparency, Choice of Schemes, Rigid Regulation and Tax Exemption were extracted out of twenty attributes.
