Abstract

The Indian mutual fund industry has experienced substantial growth over the past decade, driven by increasing financial inclusion, digital investment platforms, and regulatory reforms. Despite this expansion, investor decision-making continues to be shaped by psychological and emotional factors that deviate from rational finance assumptions. This study examines the role of behavioral biases in mutual fund investment behaviour in India using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and secondary data reported by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
