In a bid to help product managers and marketers in the BFSI and consumer segments understand their customers, ET Wealth conducted one of the largest surveys in the domain: Retail Investors’ & Consumers’ Survey (RICS). "This is an excellent initiative to educate and inform people about building personal wealth," said Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha, while releasing the survey report in Delhi last week.
The survey was carried out among 10,000 consumers and was spread across metropolitan cities, tier-2 and tier-3 towns. The report brought out interesting insights on various aspects of personal finance behaviour, habits and attitudes. While only 3% of the respondents invested in commercial properties, 53% preferred an apartment or independent house/plot, and 55% took home loans. An eye-opener was the fact that 49% still considered insurance as an investment product, while a pleasant surprise was the fact that more and more people are investing in mutual funds.
