Most retail investors prefer equities over other asset classes to park funds and play in the market only when they have surplus cash, says a survey. The second most preferred asset class is mutual funds with 57.21 per cent parking money in them, while derivatives is the least popular asset class with just 4.76 per cent dabbling in it.
The survey findings indicate that markets watchdog Sebi's investor awareness campaigns have finally begun to bear fruit, and come amidst the recent rally in the markets making Dalal Street the best performing large market this year.
