But the biggest advantage to mutual fund is diversification, by minimizing risk and maximizing returns. Mutual funds have shown a tremendous growth in India during the past decade. These funds have allowed many unsophisticated investors easier access to the capital markets that were previously unavailable.

Given their increasing significance, this study will examine some of the information provided to investors and how that information is utilized by investors in making their investment decisions. More specifically, tax information provided by mutual funds can significantly impact the returns of individuals. This paper will examine the effects of taxes on mutual funds which affects the after tax returns of the investors.
