Abstract

The economy of a country is highly influenced by the Financial System of the country. The Indian Financial System has been broadly divided into two segments: the organized and the unorganized segments. An investor has a wide array of investment avenues available. Economic well being in the long run depends significantly on how wise the investments are.

In the present financial scenario where the economy is poised to grow approx. at 9% ,as stated by our finance minister P Chidambaram, and the present bulls run in the capital market ,where lot of money is being pumped into the economy by FIIs, and increasing disposable income with the generation next has created a problem of investment because there is lot money on hand but they don't know where to invest as there is significantly less attractive return in the bank FD, PPF, KVP, NSC, MIS, and other Post saving scheme. Uncertainties in share market and low interest rate have left investors puzzled, i.e. to spend the money or save the money. If they want to save the money then where can they save it so that they can get better returns with flexibility, tax benefit and as well as capital appreciation. So it is necessary for investor to find the answer and way of capital growth with better return rather than uncertain share market and other low yield investment avenues.
