Opportunity Threat

online platform
Simplification of process
Limited innovation
Porter’s Five forces
Bargaining power of the Suppliers : Bargaining power of the Buyers:
41 AMC’S therefore profit shrinking Less power to command high prices
Little product differentiation Less brokerage and removal of entry load
Less power to command high prices. Less switching cost.
Relationship marketing is a tool through which one company can built sustainable competitive advantage .
The inferences from the dissertation are :
Trust :IFA’S and there respective customers don’t like investing with funds which have AA quality papers .
it is because the risk involve with AA papers is huge and also these are less credible then AAA papers
Communication : The awareness level of DWS is good when it comes to IFA’S but there respective
clients are living in a state of oblivion . Most of their clients are not aware of DWS offerings . Hence DWS
should try to improve marketing activities and should try to advertise and promote themselves .
Motivation : The brokerage offered by DWS in some funds i.e ELSS is good but in some funds its just
ok . DWS should provide Good incentive to lure customers so that IFA’s can reckon it to their customers
Consistent innovation : DWS is predominantly a DEBT fund house . Equity side of DWS is not able to
give the anticipated return . The fund manager should incorporate Shares of some sectors viz petroleum ,
real estate , IT which can doing good these days .
Satisfaction level : The IFA’S are quite satisfied with the staff efficiency . also the satisfaction level for
redressing complaints is high too . it is simply because the RM’S have cordial relationship with their IFA’S .
The satisfaction level for timely response and updated information is ok and good respectively .
Technology : DWS can take the help of Internet and toll free number which can do wonders for creating
flawless and hassle free interaction between company and the IFA .A common online platform for all fund
houses and should be present and debit and card transaction should be made available . Since these
options are not available customers don’t turn up for Mutual fund.
The removal of entry load has made many IFA’S to go in dormant state . Many of the IFA’s tells me that
this industry has no money for we people .
Quality : Also MF are facing competition from various other products like ULIPS , INSURANCE , POST
OFFICE SCHEMES , BANK F.D’S .
In spite of the bleak and grim out look, the future of capital market is growing at a very high pace. Taking
these things into consideration there are lots of opportunity for DWS AMC.

Limitations
This study has been done in the city of Delhi & Gurgaon only and
hence cannot be representative of the industry across the entire
country.
The sample size of 60 is too small to be generalized for the entire
population. Hence this study cannot be considered to be
representing the entire population of the investors.
This study could not take into account of some of High Net Worth
Investors whose inputs could have been really value adding to
the study
The investor can be biased.
Some IFA’S were not ready to fill the questionnaire because they
have time constraint .
