Customer education of the salaried class individuals is far below standard. Thus Asset Management Companys need to create awareness so that the salaried class people become the prospective customer of the future.

Schemes with high equity level need to be targeted towards self employed and professionals as they require high returns and are ready to bear risk.

Salary class individuals are risk averse and thus they must be assured of the advantage of risk diversification in Mutual Funds.

Time to time presentation/training classes about the products should be there.

There should be more number of Relationship Managers in different Regions because one RM can handle a maximum of 125 distributors efficiently and also to cover untapped market.

Regular session should be organized on the handling of the India infoline software so as to resolve the account statement problem.Findings:

The age group of 31-44 years were more in numbers.The second most investors were above 45 years and the least were in the age group 21-30 yrs.

Most of the investors are graduate or post graduate and people below HSC are very few in numbers.

Most of the investors preferred SIP mode of investment than one time investment.

Most of the investors invested in the SBI MF just because of the goodwill of SBI.

Most preferred portfolio was equity and the second most being balanced.

From the company data and interaction with customers,it was revealed that UTI is the main competitor for SBI MF.

Conclusion :

During my 2 months tenure at SBI MF, I came across many people who believed investing in mutual fund markets is risky but they are still investing for high returns.

People invest in those companies where they have faith or they are well known with them.

Financial advisors and brokers are the main preferred channels of distribution for the customer

There are many AMCs in Jammu but only some are performing well due to brand awareness.

Only those people invest directly who know well about mutual funds and its operations.Bibliography & Webliography:
