This study investigated factors influencing teachers' mutual fund investment decision using second cycle institution teachers in the Kumasi metropolis. Two hundred and fifty-two respondents were sampled for the study. A well-structured questionnaire was used in collecting data from the respondents. Descriptive statistics such as mean, percentages and the frequency distribution table were used in analysing the data. In addition, the logistic regression model was employed to identify factors influencing respondents' decision to invest in mutual funds. From the study, it was found that 68.75% of the total number of respondents are aware of mutual fund as an investment option and 50% of them got to know of it through the advertisement of mutual fund products and services. From the logistic regression model; marital status, family size, other source of income and financial education had a positive relationship with mutual fund investment decision. The study therefore Copyright © 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. recommends that mutual fund companies should continue with the advertisement as it has made many aware of mutual fund as investment option particularly, teachers in second cycle institutions. Furthermore, teachers should be encouraged to engage in backyard gardening and extra classes in order to generate additional income
