In order to boost the investment among individual investors, it is necessary to study the investment behaviour of individuals and identify the factors that motivate them to invest, so that idle savings can be channelised into investment. Investment decisions are influenced by many reasons. It is a tolerable fact that the financiers are the central position in the financial market. Behaviour of investors is not fixed. It changes from position to position and from security to security. Hence, it is necessary to identify the factors which influence the investment decisions.
