Mutual funds offer investors the opportunity to invest in diversified schemes based on their risk appetite. Various factors influence investors' decisions, which stem from their demographic and socio-economic characteristics. This study investigates the demographic features and factors influencing mutual fund investments and examines the relationship between them. Primary data were collected from 350 randomly selected residents of the Kamrup Metro district in the state of Assam, India, for drawing conclusions. High returns, portfolio diversification, and tax benefits are the most critical factors influencing mutual fund investment decisions. Significant differences were observed among investors based on gender, marital status, and educational qualification.
