13 From the above Table No.11, it is inferred that 37% of female respondents gather financial information from newspaper and 34% from their friends, while 34% of male respondents gather financial information from newspaper and 30% from their family members and friends each. 5. Findings: Gender differences are significant with the willingness to take risk between men and women. It is concluded that male investors have high tolerance in their risk profile (19.1%), whereas the female investors are not above average in their risk profile (65%). Men (33.8%) borrow sometimes to meet their expenses, while women (38.1%) have never borrowed to meet their expenses. When studied on their annual income, it is evident that men earn more when compared to women. Women (69.2%) are highly financially dependent than men. Newspaper is the first financial information source for men and women, but the study reveals that women use internet and read magazine more when compared to men. Men (53.8%) take self-decision on investment in their family while women (33.7%) reveal their parents take investment decisions in their family. Men (32.9%) have stated that they invest only when free money is available; while women (50.3%) have stated that it the urge to save for future encourages them to invest. Both men and women have ranked safety feature as first characteristics of any Investment avenue, and men ranked income generation as second and women ranked capital appreciation as second characteristics of Investment Avenue. Men (30.5%) prefer to invest in property and women (34.9%) prefer to invest in gold, but when probed on their actual investment pattern, the study reveals that men (21%) have invested in deposit while women (21%) have invested in insurance. 6. Limitations of the Study 1) Sample size of the study is 405 salaried educated Investors in Coimbatore city. The sample size may not adequately represent the national market. 2) This study has not been conducted for a longer time horizon covering market ups and downs. The state of market has a significant influence on the buying patterns and preferences of Investors. The study was conducted during a particular period of time and hence it will not be applicable for all periods. 3) The study being based on a survey of Investors, it includes all limitations inherent in the questionnaire form of research.

14 7. Conclusion From this research, it is evident that there is wide difference in risk attitude, preference, selection, pre-evaluation, financial information source, reference group, financial motive, financial planning, income level, borrowing habit, and investment decision making of both men and women. This study includes working class respondents, who are educated and employed in service sector. It is inferred from the study that women even though educated, and employed, but still they are financial dependent on others. They have average risk attitude and still unable to take self decision on Investment, either the investment decisions are done by their parents or by their spouse. Hence women have to be equipped with more financial information and they have to be given financial freedom to make their investment choice. Indian women s preference to gold is not unusual and men prefer to invest in property physical asset. Considering the risk appetitive of women investment avenue education has to impart by financial institutions and NGOs by announcing special schemes to encourage their investment behavior. 8. Future Work The influence of marriage on gender is to be probed. A comparative study on married men and women and unmarried men and women can be done. There is a need to conduct further research on the relation between married women and selection of Investment Avenue. The factors influencing their investment decisions post marriage can be studied in detailed. Similar Investment study can be repeated among non-earning women and self-employed men and women to understand their investment pattern.
