The Indian mutual fund industry is playing a significant role in the development of capital market and in the growth of the Indian economy. It is considered to be a better opportunity where savings are collected from investors and diverted to the capital market to generate better returns for them with lower risk and volatility. Hence, it is of utmost significance to understand the mutual fund industry in India. As such, this chapter makes an attempt to review the various literatures available in regard to mutual funds to evaluate the performance of various mutual fund schemes and to study the investor's perception in selection of a mutual fund. The study shows that mutual funds have failed to offer advantages of diversification and professionalism to the investors and hence could not fulfil their scheme's objectives. It is also found that retail investors are still confused about the mutual funds as an investment avenue. In order to attain sustained profitable growth, the industry should focus on developing distribution networks, increasing retail participation and expanding the reach of mutual funds by conducting awareness programs and extending financial literacy.

The retail investors in India are characterized by an affinity to avoid risk and they lack the mental readiness to absorb the shocks of the volatile capital market. Hence, to attract the surplus funds possessed by the retail investors into the capital market, intermediaries like mutual funds are required. Though apparently mutual funds were intended to cater to the needs of the retail investor, the stock market has not won investors’ confidence to attract a growing share of household’s financial savings. Today, more players are entering into the market and a naïve investor is unable to deploy the investment in the right direction. The study analyse the retail investors financial decision in terms of investing their savings in the capital market through mutual fund investment. The study found that, investor’s with moderate risk tolerance level prefer to invest in mutual funds and return, marketability and liquidity are the most satisfying factors investor they look on.

In 2015, Taiwan introduced an exchange platform for equity crowdfunding called the Go Incubation Board for Startup and Acceleration (GISA) which is supervised by the OTC Taipei Exchange organization. Equity crowdfunding provides another channel for startups to access capital and allows for a new mechanism for start-up firms to establish their reputation with investors. However, the risks to investors from equity crowdfunding are high. The high-risk nature of equity crowdfunding has the potential to act as a contagion, and further erode confidence in the startup capital market by retail investors -- and this lingers over the GISA platform in Taiwan. Therefore, this study applies the of Random Forest (RF) algorithm to evaluate the market reaction for start-up firms on the GISA in Taiwan. The RF algorithm is proposed to be integrated into an AI model to forecast the market reaction to start-up firms as they get listed on the GISA equity crowdfunding platform. The results not only fulfill the gap of detecting market reaction in equity crowdfunding, but the proposed RF model can replace the traditional statistics analytical technique to evaluate the market reaction. In proposed model applied AI algorithms to predict the market reaction on Taiwan GISA platform which can provide a useful ensemble tool for start-up firms and entrepreneurs to evaluate the degree of market reaction more efficiently before listing on the Taiwan GISA platform.

The new Prospectus Regulation and the information efficiency of capital markets in the European UnionThe economic analysis of law suggests that one of the main obstacles to the strengthening of European Capital Markets are, on the one hand, the entry barriers for capital companies seeking financial support, and on the other, lack of proper information protection for investors, which discourages them from placing money on the financial markets. The current regulation is flawed for at least several reasons. First, there are many differentiating regimes within European Union. Second, the current regulation imposes too many requirements and information obligations on listed companies, which significantly increases transaction costs and makes searching for funding on the capital markets unprofitable for many players. As a result, some of them target other alternative methods of obtaining funds from investors such as FinTechs, Blockchain, Tokens, which in turn weakens the investors protection. As a consequence, the capital outflow from capital markets makes them even less competitive. Third, most of retail investors are practically unable to digest the significant amount of detailed information presented by publicly-listed companies due to the current prospectus obligations, which, in consequence, discourages them from further investments on the capital market. The main goal of the paper is to evaluate numerous issues related to current regulation on European capital markets in terms of information requirements that create “barriers to entry” for public companies and, at the same time, fail to establish a proper information order and transparency obligations — therefore discouraging retail investors from investing in the capital markets. Another goal of the paper is to present the perspectives of the upcoming Prospectus Regulation within European Capital Markets which aims to harmonize the transparency obligations and thus, to unlock effective and cheap funding in the capital market, and as a consequencestimulate the Europe’s economic growth. Nowa Regulacja Prospektowa a efektywność informacyjna na rynku kapitałowym w Unii EuropejskiejEkonomiczna analiza prawa sugeruje, że jedną z głównych przeszkód wzmocnienia europejskich rynków kapitałowych są z jednej strony bariery wejścia dla spółek kapitałowych ubiegających się o finansowanie, z drugiej zaś brak odpowiedniej ochrony informacyjnej inwestorów, który zniechęca ich do lokowania pieniędzy na rynkach finansowych. Obecne regulacje prospektowe są wadliwe z co najmniej kilku powodów. Po pierwsze, w Unii Europejskiej istnieje wiele systemów różniących się od siebie w fundamentalnych kwestiach. Po drugie, obecne rozporządzenie nakłada zbyt wiele wymogów i obowiązków informacyjnych na spółki notowane na giełdzie, co znacznie zwiększa koszty transakcyjne i sprawia, że poszukiwanie funduszy na rynkach kapitałowych jest nieopłacalne dla wielu mniejszych graczy. W rezultacie niektóre z nich celują w inne, alternatywne metody pozyskiwania funduszy od inwestorów takich jak FinTechs, Blockchain, Tokens, co z kolei osłabia ogólną ochronę inwestorów na rynku kapitałowym. W konsekwencji odpływ kapitału z rynków kapitałowych powoduje, że są one jeszcze mniej konkurencyjne. Po trzecie, większość inwestorów detalicznych praktycznie nie jest w stanie przeanalizować znacznej ilości szczegółowych informacji przedstawianych przez spółki notowane na giełdzie ze względu na obowiązki prospektowe, co w konsekwencji zniechęca ich do dalszych inwestycji na rynku kapitałowym. Głównym celem artykułu jest ocena licznych zagadnień związanych z bieżącymi regulacjami dotyczącymi europejskich rynków kapitałowych pod kątem wymagań informacyjnych, które tworzą „bariery wejścia” dla spółek publicznych, a jednocześnie nie ustanawiają odpowiedniego porządku informacyjnego i przejrzystości zobowiązania — zniechęcając tym samym inwestorów detalicznych do inwestowania na rynkach kapitałowych. Innym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie perspektyw nadchodzącego rozporządzenia w sprawie prospektu emisyjnego na europejskich rynkach kapitałowych, który ma zharmonizować obowiązki w zakresie przejrzystości, a tym samym uwolnić od efektywnego i taniego finansowania na rynku kapitałowym, a w konsekwencji stymulować wzrost europejskiej gospodarki.
