The growth of mutual fund industry in India has been impressive in the recent past. Despite of this growth, investments in mutual fund products in India are low as compared to other global economies.

The study revealed that significant gap exists between the degree of expectation and the degree of perceived experience of the retail investors of the mutual fund while focusing from the viewpoint of customer communication dimension of marketing mix.
