Saving and investment plans
are the schemes planned to support the education of students who are
financially backward and to ensure fund availability to pay fees in time. This
helps to overcome the financial constraints of parents or self that may prevent
the young generation to pursue education or higher education. This research
analyses the effectiveness of the existing child investment schemes based on
availability of funds for fees. Most of the Child Investment Schemes are based
on mutual funds, deposits, insurance schemes, education loan etc.. But, the
fund disbursement is made after the maturity period in multiple instalments.
The objective of the research is to study investor perception towards child
investment plans and to explore the impact of demographic variables on
investment decision-making. The study also aims to identify the factors that
influence investment decision-making for child investment plans. A sample of
447 investors was selected for the study, and data was collected using a structured
questionnaire. The data was analysed using various statistical tools, including
rank analysis, factor analysis, cross-tabulation, and discriminant analysis.
