behavior. Investors think that HDFC provides better returns than ICICI.
Limitations :
Limitations Sample limitation: - which sample is taken by me is very small in size to

Compare mutual fund of two companies. Reliability: - The data collected by me is not
much reliable because many investors chosen by me have invested in HDFC. Parameters:
- All the parameters have not been taken. Time limitation: - I had the shortage of time
because of that I was not able to do my study in a good manner. Awareness: - Investors
chosen for study are not fully aware of all the terms and conditions related to mutual fund
.So, it is very difficult to construct right information from them.
Recommendations / Suggestions: :
Recommendations / Suggestions: ICICI bank should try to provide better returns to its
investors as compare to HDFC. Both companies should try to invest in better securities
for better profits. Both companies should try to satisfy their customer by better customer
service or by improving customer relationship management. Companies should try to
make people initiative towards risk. Investors should be made fully aware of the concept
of mutual fund & all the terms and conditions. Both should more emphasize on
advertising, as it is the most Powerful tool to position an brand in the minds of customers.
Conclusion :
Conclusion To conclude we can say mutual fund is a best investment vehicle for old &
widow, as well as to those who want regular returns on their investment. Mutual fund is
also better and preferable for those who want their capital appreciation. Both the
companies are doing considerable achievements in mutual fund industry. There are also
so many competitors involved those affects on both companies.
