nature. The present study explores into the intensities of the characteristic / attributes of the Mutual Funds on investment decisions of the MF investors. Portfolio management is concerned with constructing a portfolio of securities (e.g., stock, bond, Mutual Funds, etc) that maximize the investor s utility. Taking into account the considerable amount of the available investment alternatives, the portfolio management problem is often addressed through a two stage procedure. At a first stage an evaluation of the alternative of the available securities is performed. This involves the selection of the most proper securities on the basis of the decision maker s investment policy. At a second stage, on the basis of the selected set of securities, the portfolio composition is performed. 2. Methodology Objective 1.
