Influence of Mutual Fund Performance on Investor Participation in the Nigerian Capital Market

Banking and Finance — 2025, Undergraduate

This study investigated the influence of mutual fund performance on investor participation in the Nigerian capital market. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to fund managers and investors, complemented by analysis of fund returns. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The findings revealed that consistent returns, transparency, and professional management significantly increased investor confidence and participation in mutual funds. The study observed, however, that fee structures and past performance volatility discouraged some retail investors. It recommends enhanced disclosure, cost competitiveness, and investor education to broaden mutual fund participation.
