The Investigain is a progressive web application to make mutual funds investments through a Systematic Investment Plan. The application utilizes the web’s modern capabilities, such as Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), JavaScript, and Hypertext Marker Language (HTML5). The application also uses a powerful relational database management system, such as MySQL, to display asset management information. The application has two portals, one for investors and one for a particular asset manager or asset management company. Each investor has an account in the investor portal. The investor can view his/her profile, current balance, balance history, dividends, the units of mutual funds bought, unit price, the value of each mutual fund, and can pay installments using an embedded online payment gateway. Asset managers can monitor all investments, manage user accounts, and reimburse dividends using the admin portal. This paper also presents the experimental results of using the Investigain application, compares them with existing systems, and details the application’s prospect to improve its socio-economic conditions. The system’s frontend is designed with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks. The backend is designed using Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) server-side scripting language. The system demonstrated increased satisfaction from its clients.
