Abstract
As an anonymous saying goes “Knowledge is one factor of
production that does not give diminishing returns”. When this is
extended to the knowledge of the investors it can be presumed that
with increased level of knowledge the investors would derive
maximum utility only when they use the acquired knowledge by
experimenting with innovative and risky investment opportunities.
But the level of knowledge – high or low will in turn affect the risk
perception of an investor or it may be vice versa i.e. the low or high
risk appetite may be due the levels of knowledge. With this
background the researcher in the present study makes an attempt to
understand knowledge (limited to mutual fund investments) of
respondents and find if there exists any relationship between risk
and knowledge.
Key words: Risk Perception, Knowledge levels, Mutual Fund
Investors, Mutual Funds.
