PREFACE Knowledge and human power are synonyms, once said the great philosopher Francis Bacon. However based on the experience within todays global markets, he would probably say, The ability to capture, communicate & leverage knowledge to solve problems is human power. This raises the question how exactly one can best capture, communicate & leverage knowledge, especially within world of system engineering.

The tryst for knowledge and power led me to two years M.B.A. degree course as part of this long-term investment. This course not only enabled me to focus firmly on the current trend but also helped to focus on future changes.

As a part of this M.B.A. degree, students have to undergo a project, which is designed keeping the prerogative and preferences of industry in mind. This particular project allows a student to implement what I have learned within the four walls of classroom. It is here that the caliber of student is tested to find his flexibility for rigorous tasks assigned to him in future.

This report that I am submitting intends to highlight my versatility in sustaining the pulls and pressure of day to day professional life and put to perspective the facts that I am capable enough to deliver whenever a challenge is thrown to me.

This report is divided in two parts. The first part gives the basic information about the project, the industry and the company. The second part consists of Research Analysis and Conclusion on the basis of particular Research Process. At the end I have provided a short list of the reference books and the sites that provided useful information during the project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Indian Financial System has undergone a considerable change in the recent past. The Financial Sector reforms, along with technological advancement have integrated international markets, which have facilitated the scope for uninterrupted mobility of funds in various financial markets. It has also led to efficient and low-cost transactions related to securities. This can be seen in the Indian financial sector reforms also, which started in the early 1990s.

Dematerialization of financial securities is the first sign of financial reforms in India. Finance Ministry and SEBI realized the need of more efficient financial system. As a result of this NSDL and CDSL came into picture. It aims at ensuring the safety and soundness of Indian marketplaces by developing settlement solutions that increase

efficiency, minimize risk and reduce costs. My project on The Literacy About Stock Market gave us a detail picture whether people know about stock market or not and at what extent they are aware about stock market. I have conducted study in the Surat city. How the people want learn about stock market and how much time they are ready to spend. This study reflects about what are the investments instruments people are using in Surat city. It is also known that people are giving importance to various factors while investing into stock market. Which investment option they selected as per the needs and preferences. For e.g., the large part of the sample was giving much importance to Safety and thus the number of people who invest in Insurance was the largest. As the capital market is gaining strengths and touching new highs frequently, there is a trend of more and more people now investing in stocks

It becomes increasingly important for students of management to understand the developments in the financial infrastructure that

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

facilitates the whole financial system. We were fortunate enough to get an opportunity to do our summer training in such an area as it gave us a wide understanding of the entire demat system in our country.

1.1) HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGES


Though the historical records relating to securities market in India is meager and obscure, there is evidence to indicate that the loan securities of the East Indian Company used to be traded towards close of the 18th century. By 1830s, the trading in shares of banks started . The trader by the name of broker emerged in 1830 when 6 persons called themselves as share brokers. This number grew gradually. Till 1850, they traded in shares of banks and securities of the East India Company in Mumbai under a sprawling Banyan Tree in front of the Town Hall, which is now in the Horniman Circle Park. It is no surprise that the majestic Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers is located at the Horniman Circle. In 1850, the Companies Act introducing limited liability was enacted heralding the era of modern joint stock company which propelled trading volumes.

The American Civil War broke out in 1861 which cut off supply of cotton from the USA to Europe. This heightened the demand for cotton from India. Cotton prices increased. Exports of cotton grew, payments were received in bullion. The great and sudden spurt in wealth produced by cotton price propelled setting up companies for every conceivable purpose. Between 1863 and 1865, the new ventures raised nearly Rs.30 crore in the form of paid up capital and nearly Rs. 38 crore of the premia. Rarely was a share which did not command a premium between 1861 and 1865. The Back Bay Reclamation share with Rs.5,000 paid up was at Rs.50,000 premium, the Port Canning Share with Rs. 1,000 paid up was at Rs.11,000 premium, etc. There was a share mania and every body was after a piece of paper, variously Called allotments, scrips and shares.

The people woke up only when the American Civil war ended. Then all rushed to sell their securities but there were no buyers. They were left with huge mass of unsaleable paper. This occurred then. This also occurs today at

regular intervals. The bubbles and burst continue to be a perennial feature of the securities market world over.

The depression was so severe that it paved way for setting up of a formal market. The number of brokers, which had increased during the civil war to about 250, declined. During the civil war, they had become so influential and powerful that even the police had only Salams for them. But after the end of the civil war, they were driven from pillar to post by the police. They moved from place to place till 1874 when they found a convenient place, which is now appropriately called Dalal Street after their name. They organized an informal association on or about 9th July 1875 for protecting their interests. On 3rd December 1887, they established a stock exchange called Native Share and Stock Brokers Association. This laid the foundation of the oldest stock exchange in India. The word native indicated that only natives of India could be brokers of the Exchange. In 1880s a number textile mills came up in Ahmedabad. This created a need for trading of shares of these mills.

In 1894, the brokers of Ahmedabad formed "The Ahmedabad Share and Stock Brokers' Association". As a result of Swadesi movement and the coal boom of 1904-08, Calcutta became another major center of share trading and an exchange was set up in 1908. During interwar years, as the demand for industrial goods kept increasing, existing enterprise expanded and new ones were floated. Yet another stock exchange was started in Madras in 1920. Stock exchanges in Hyderabad and Delhi started operations in the year 1943 and 1947, respectively. At the time of independence, there were seven stock exchanges functioning in major cities of the country.

From 7 stock exchanges in 1946, the country moved to form a total of 19 stock exchanges by 1990. There were 5968 companies listed as against 1125 in 1946. The paid up capital of these companies multiplied many fold from Rs 270 crore in 1946 to 27761 crore in 1990. The market capitalization of listed companies jumped from Rs. 971 crore in 1946 to 70521 crore in 1990. K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 13

From the nineties, started the current phase under which Indian stock exchanges are undergoing a rapid transition to be at par with stock exchanges in the developed world. Before 1990, the trading system was the open out cry system with scrips classified as specified and non-specified or cash scrips that were compulsorily settled with delivery at the end of the settlement. There were long and varying periods for specified and nonspecified shares in the old clearing system because of the intricacies involved in the physical form of shares.

The membership of stock exchanges was initially open to individuals and partnership firms and was later opened to companies. While the Bombay Stock Exchange, Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and Madhya Pradesh Stock Exchange, were organized as voluntary non-profit associations of persons, the Calcutta Stock Exchange, Delhi Stock Exchange, Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange, and others including Ludhiana, Cochin, Gauhati, Jaipur and Mangalore Stock Exchanges were organized as public limited companies. The governance of stock exchanges rests in a governing board comprising of the members of the board and an Executive Director. Members of the governing board include brokers and non-brokers including government nominees.

Earlier, the investor service levels were low and the regulatory laws inadequate. In the mid- eighties, the G.S. Patel committee on stock exchange reforms and the Abid Hussein Committee on capital markets recommended the creation of a second tier stock market. In 1991, the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, and Government of India to instituted an expert study:

1. Study the trading system, covering both specified and non-specified Shares on major stock exchange. 2. Review effectiveness of regulation and surveillance over trading operation, 3. Look in to the working of badla and its impact on trading, and 4. Make recommendations for investors for investor confidence. K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 14

In 1991, another high-powered study group on establishment of new stock exchanges, popularly known as the Pherwani Committee recommended the promotion of a new stock exchange at new Bombay as a model exchange and to act as a National Stock Exchange (NSE). So, NSE was granted recognition as a stock exchange in April 1993 and it started operation with wholesale debt market (WDM) segment in June 1994. It started equity trading in November 1994 and, in a short span of the one year, surpassed the volume at BSE, the largest stock exchange in the world to the first place in the country in the first year of its operations.

It is based on the model of National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) of USA, with modification to suit the Indian conditions. It commenced operations from October 6, 1992.

OTCEI arose out of the need to have a second tier market in the country. It was set up to provide small and medium companies an access to capital market for raising finance in a cost-effective manner and investors with a convenient, transparent, and efficient avenue for capital market investment.

The national reach of BSE and NSE and cutthroat competition between them, threatened the existence of the regional stock exchanges (RSEs). The survival of these RSEs, which once had a secure position, had now become a cause for concern. So these RSEs formed the Federation of Indian Stock Exchanges (FISE) in early 1996. The eroding market share, dwindling volumes, and declining profitability of members at the RSEs left the FISE with the two options: join the hands with the BOLT expansion plan or maintain status quo and wait until capital market revived.

OVERVIEW OF THE INDIAN SECURITIES MARKET


INTRODUCTIONS A securities market provides a channel for allocation of savings to those who have a reductive need for them. As a result, the savers and investors are not constrained by their individual abilities, but by the economys abilities invest and save respectively, which inevitably enhance saving and investment in the economy. Market segment :The securities market has to interdependent and inseparable segments; the primary and the secondary market. The primary market provides to channel for creation of new securities through issuance of financial instrument by public companies as well as Government and government agencies and bodies whereas the secondary market helps the holders of these financial instruments to sale for exiting from the investment.

A public issue does not limit any entity in investing while in private placement, the issuance is done to select people in terms of companies Act, 1956; an issue becomes public if it results in allotment to more than 50 persons. This means an issue resulting in allotment to less than 50 people is private placement. There are two major types issuers who issue securities. The corporate entities issue mainly debt and equity instrument (shares, debentures, etc.), while the governments (central & state Government) issue debt securities (dated securities, treasury bills). The secondary enables participant who hold securities adjust their assessment of risk and return. They also sell securities for cash to meet their liquidity needs.

Trades taking place over a trading cycle (one day under rolling settlement) are settled together after a certain time all the 23 stock exchange in the country provide facilities for trading of corporate securities.

In derivatives market (F&O market segment of NSE), standardized contracts are traded for future settlement.

These futures can be on a basket of securities like an index or an individual security. In case of options, securities are traded for conditional future delivery. There are two types of options a put option permits the owner to sell a security to the writer of options at a predetermined price while a call option permits the owner to purchase a security from the writer of the option at a predetermined price.

These options can also be on individual stocks or baskets of stocks like index. Two exchanges namely NSE and the stock exchange, Mumbai (BSE) provide trading of derivatives of securities. Today the participants have the flexibility of choosing from a basket a products likes: Equities Bond issued by both government and companies Futures on benchmark indices as well as stocks Options on benchmark indices as well as stocks Future on interest rate products like national 91 day T-bills, 10 year national zero coupon bond and 6% national 10 year bond. Along with this growth, the profiles of the investors, issuers and intermediaries have change significantly. The market has witnessed several institutional changes resulting in drastic reduction in transaction costs and significant improvement in efficiency, transparency, liquidity and safety. In a short span of time, Indian derivatives market has got a place in list of top global exchanges. In signal stock futures category, the futures industry association (FIA) placed NSE in second position in the year 2000.

Reforms in the securities market , particularly the establishment and empowerment of SEBI, market determined allocation of resources, screen based nation wide trading, dematerialization and electronic transfer of

security, rolling settlement and ban on deferral products, sophisticated risk management and derivatives trading have greatly improved the regularity framework and efficiency of trading and settlement.

1.2) DEVLOPEMENT

Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (the Exchange) is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich heritage. Popularly known as "BSE", it was established as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association" in 1875. It is the first stock exchange in the country to obtain permanent recognition in 1956 from the Government of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. The Exchange's pivotal and pre-eminent role in the development of the Indian capital market is widely recognized and its index, SENSEX, is tracked worldwide. Earlier an Association of Persons (AOP), the Exchange is now a demutualised and corporatized entity incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatization and Demutualization) Scheme, 2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Bombay Stock Exchange Limited received its Certificate of Incorporation on 8th August, 2005 and Certificate of Commencement of Business on 12th August, 2005. The 'Due Date' for taking over the business and operations of the BSE, by the Exchange was fixed for 19th August, 2005, under the Scheme. The Exchange has succeeded the business and operations of BSE on going concern basis and its recognition as an Exchange has been continued by SEBI For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in India, 125 years of experience seem to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875 when 318 persons became members of what today is called "Bombay Stock Exchange Limited" by paying a princely amount of Re1.

The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties, there was no measure or scale that could precisely measure the various ups and downs in the Indian stock market. Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) in 1986 came out with a Stock Index that subsequently became the barometer of the Indian Stock Market. SENSEX, first compiled in 1986 was calculated on a "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology of 30 component stocks representing a sample of large, well-established and financially sound companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79. The index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media. From September 2003, the SENSEX is calculated on a freefloat market capitalization methodology. The "free-float Market CapitalizationWeighted" methodology is a widely followed index construction methodology on which majority of global equity benchmarks are based. The launch of SENSEX in 1986 was later followed up in January 1989 by introduction of BSE National Index (Base: 1983-84 = 100). It comprised of 100 stocks listed at five major stock exchanges in India at Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Madras. The BSE National Index was renamed as BSE-100 Index from October 14, 1996 and since then it is calculated taking into consideration only the prices of stocks listed at BSE. The Exchange launched dollar-linked version of BSE-100 index i.e. Dollex100 on May 22, 2006 With a view to provide a better representation of the increased number of companies listed, increased market capitalization and the new industry groups, the Exchange constructed and launched on 27th May, 1994, two new index series viz., the 'BSE-200' and the 'DOLLEX-200' indices. Since then, BSE has come a long way in attuning itself to the varied needs of investors and market participants. In order to fulfill the need of the market participants for still broader, segment-specific and sector-specific indices, the Exchange has continuously

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

19

been increasing the range of its indices. The launch of BSE-200 Index in 1994 was followed by the launch of BSE-500 Index and 5 sectorial indices in 1999. In 2001, BSE launched the BSE-PSU Index, DOLLEX-30 and the country's first free-float based index - the BSE TECK Index. The Exchange shifted all its indices to a free-float methodology (except BSE PSU index) in a phased manner. The Exchange also disseminates the Price-Earnings Ratio, the Price to Book Value Ratio and the Dividend Yield Percentage on day-to-day basis of all its major indices.

NSE was incorporated in 1992 and was given recognition as a stock exchange in April 1993. It started operations in June 1994, with trading on the wholesale debt market segment. Subsequently it launched Capital market segment in November 1994 as a trading platform for equities and the futures and options segment in June 2000 for various derivative instruments.

NSE was set up with the objectives of:

1. Establishing a nationwide trading facility for all type of securities: 2. Ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an appropriate communication network. 3. Providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market using electronic trading system 4. Enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements;

NSE has been able to take the stock market to the doorsteps of the investors. The technology has been harnessed to deliver the services to the investors across the country at the cheapest possible cost. It provides a nationwide, screen-based, automated trading system, with a high degree of transparency and equal access to investors irrespective of geographical location. The high level of information dissemination through online system has helped in integrating retail investors on a nationwide basis.

The standards set by the exchange in terms of market practices, products, technology and service standards have become industry benchmark

and are being replicated by other market participants. Within a very short span of time, NSE has been able to achieve all the objectives for which it was set up. It has been playing a leading role as a change agent in transforming the Indian Capital Markets to its present form. The Indian Capital Market are a far cry from what they used to be a decade age in terms of market practices, infrastructure, technology, risk management, clearing and settlement and investor service.

Payout process Bills Pay-in-process Contract note

Introduction
After completion of trading the further process is done through this department. It handles two processes which are known as pay-in and pay-out process. Further description is given below.

Pay-Out-Process
When transaction is done between the two members of same DP then it is called internal pay out process, but it can be known only after 4 oclock when trading gets over. It can be known that whether the transaction is done internally or not. Otherwise all the transactions are done through only. Now if the situation arises in which one of the member of DP has sold a definite quantity of shares, but against which no one has purchased the same amount of quantity of shares belonging to same company then the whole lot will go to the exchange. On the other hand if one of the parties has bought comparatively less quantity than sold by another party then it is called shortfall of shares.

Now let us understand the above concept with the help of a practical example. Suppose, one of the members of Angel in SURAT has sold 700 shares of Reliance Ltd., but against which member of Angel at Mumbai branch has purchased only 300 shares of the same company then it is called SHORTFALL.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

58

Now, after the closing of trading activity (i.e. after 4 o'clock) Exchange will prepare a shortfall report & this will be directly sent to H.O.Now, department will prepare a summary from the report. After that if DP has access then dealing will be done internally otherwise auction will be done by exchange in which exchange will purchase or sell shortfall of shares from the market. Payout process mainly indicate access amount to be paid by DP i.e. when purchase of share is comparatively higher than selling.

Bills
In the same way Angel HO will prepare bill of clients name and this will be send to the respective branches to different places and now branches would be dispatching to their respective clients.

Pay In Process
Now if we look from the other side the same concept, then it is called Pay in Process. In this process if selling is done comparatively higher than purchase, then DP will earn i.e. DP will get relatively more amount against which it has to pay fewer amounts. In both the transaction i.e. pay in and Pay out transaction the payment will be done through cheques only.

Contract note
Contract note is a confirmation of trades done on a particular day for and on behalf of client. Angel shall issue a contract note to his client for trades (purchase/sale of securities) executed with all details as required therein to be filled in (refer to SEBI circular no. SMD/SED/CIR/23321 dated June 8, 2005). A contract note shall be issued to a client within 24 hours of the execution of the contract duly signed by the TM or his authorized signatory or client attorney.

DP DEPARTMENT
Depository An Organization
A depository is an organization where the securities of investors are held in electronic form. Investors open an account in the depository system through a Depository Participant and hold securities in that account. There are two depositories in India which are National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) And Central Depository Service Ltd. (CDSL).

Depository system is quite similar to a banking system. If an investor wants to utilize the service offered by a depository, he/she has to open an account with the depository through a DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANT. This can be compared to the opening of an account with any of the branches of a bank in order to utilize the services of the bank.

A depository may be defined as facilities of holding securities in the electronic form that means without holding any certificates in physical form and which subsequently enable securities transaction to be processed by electronic book entry system, without movement of papers.

A Depository facilitates holding of securities in the electronic form and enables securities transactions to be processed by book entry by a Depository Participant (DP). Who as an agent of the depository, offers depository services to investors. According to SEBI guidelines, financial institutions, banks custodians, stock brokers etc.are eligible to act as DPs.The investor who is known as Beneficial Owner has to open a Demat account through any DP for dematerialization of his holdings and transferring securities.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

60

ROLE OF DP
A depository is an organization firm to provide electronic depository facilities for securities traded. Securities are then held in the electronic form though the medium of DP. The NSDL is the first depository of India. The functions of NSDL are regulated by the Securities and Exchange control board of India (SEBI).

The Depository is not just another custodian. The Depository can legally transfer beneficial ownership, which a custodian can not. The chief objective of a depository is to reduce risk by minimizing the paper work involved in trading, settlement and transferring securities.

To utilize the services offered by a depository, you must open an account with the depository through a DP. The DPs are the link between the shareholders and the company and NSDL.

Banks, financial institutions custodians and stock brokers can become DPs subject to their meeting certain requirement prescribed by NSDL and SEBI. NSDL publishes the list of DPs registered with them from time to time.

You can ever have a zero balance in your account.

TYPES OF DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT


To avail the various services offered by CDSL an investor or a broker or an approved intermediary has to open a CDSL depository account. Depository accounts are three types:

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

61

Beneficiary Account:
An investor or a broker who wants to hold shares on dematerialized form and undertake script less trading must have depository account called Beneficial Owner account (BO) with a DP of his choice.

Clearing Member Account:


Member brokers of the stock exchange which have established electronic connectivity with CDSL need to open a clearing member account with a DP of his choice to clear and settle trades in the Demat form. This account is meant to transfer shares and receive shares for the clearing corporation/house. Hence, the member broker does not have any ownership rights over the shares running held in such n account.

Intermediary Account:
Ay person desiring to act as an approved intermediary account with any DP office choice. An intermediary account may be open with the DP only after the intermediary has obtained registration from Securities and Exchange board of India and with the prior approval of the CDSL. This account is meant only to deposit the securities receive from the lender and borrowing scheme. The intermediary does not have any ownership right over the shares held in such account.

Dematerialization of security
According to the Depositories Act 1996, an investor has the option to hold shares either in physical or electronic form. Now ever, SEBI has notified that settlement of trade in almost all securities should have the Demat mode. Although, trades up to 500 shares can settled in physical form, physical settlement is virtually not taking place for apprehension of bad delivery on account of mismatch of signatures, forgery of signature, fake certificate etc.

Only that security can be Dematerialize whose owner company has registered itself for CDSL service. Shareholder can request its owned

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

62

company to register itself with CDSL if it is not registered only after that security can be dematerialized.

Pledging
Major benefit of the Demat account and holding security in Demat form is that you can put this certificate on pledge and you can get loan on it. E.g. If you have a Demat account with RNSB then you will get loan either from this bank or you will get from other institutions. The person who applied for the loan is called ledger and one need to have Demat account with CDSL. Pledge puts once security under the pledge it can not use for other purpose. These securities pledged are moved from Free Balance to Pledged Balance.

2.11) Overview of Derivative Market


The origin of derivatives can be traced back to the need of farmers to protect themselves against fluctuations in the price of their crop. From the time it was sown to the time it was ready for harvest, farmers would face price uncertainty. Through the use of simple derivative products, it was possible for the farmer to partially or fully transfer price risks by locking-in asset prices. These were simple contracts developed to meet the needs of farmers and were basically a means of reducing risk.

On the other hand, a merchant with an ongoing requirement of grains too would face a price risk - that of having to pay exorbitant prices during dearth, although favorable prices could be obtained during periods of oversupply. Under such circumstances, it clearly made sense for the farmer and the merchant to come together and enter into a contract whereby the price of the grain to be delivered in September could be decided earlier. What they would then negotiate happened to be a futures-type contract, which would enable both parties to eliminate the price risk.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

63

In 1848, the Chicago Board of Trade, or CBOT, was established to bring farmers and merchants together. A group of traders got together and created the `to-arrive' contract that permitted farmers to lock in to price upfront and deliver the grain later. These to-arrive contracts proved useful as a device for hedging and speculation on price changes. These were eventually standardized, and in 1925 the first futures clearing house came into existence. Derivative products initially emerged as hedging devices against fluctuations in commodity prices, and commodity-linked derivatives remained the sole form of such products for almost three hundred years. Financial derivatives came into spotlight in the post-1970 period due to growing instability in the financial markets. However, since their emergence, these products have become very popular and by 1990s, they accounted for about two-thirds of total transactions in derivative products. In recent years, the market for financial derivatives has grown tremendously in terms of variety of instruments available, their complexity and also turnover. In the class of equity derivatives the world over, futures and options on stock indices have gained more popularity than on individual stocks, especially among institutional investors, who are major users of index-linked derivatives.

Even small investors find these useful due to high correlation of the popular indexes with various portfolios and ease of use. The lower costs associated with index derivatives vis--vis derivative products based on individual securities is another reason for their growing use.

Derivatives defined
Derivative is a product whose value is from the value of one or more basic variables, called bases (underlying asset, index, or reference rate), in a contractual manner. The underlying asset can be equity, forex, commodity or any other asset.

For example, wheat farmer may wish to sell their harvest at a future date to eliminate the risk of a change in prices by that date. Such a

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

64

transaction is an example of a derivative. The price of this derivative is driven by the spot price of wheat which the underlying.

In the Indian context the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 defines derivative to include

1. A security derived from a debt instrument, share, loan whether secured or unsecured, risk instrument or contract for differences or any other form of security.

2. A contract which derives its value from the prices, or index of prices, of underlying securities.

Derivative products :Derivative contracts have several variants. The most common variants are forwards, futures, options and swaps. We take a brief look at various derivatives contracts that have come to be used.

Forwards :A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at todays pre agreed price.

Futures :A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price. Future contracts are special types of forward contracts in the sense that the former are standardized exchange-traded contracts.

Options :Options are of two types calls and puts. Calls give the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy a given quantity of the underlying asset, at a

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

65

given price on or before a given future date. Puts give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell a given quantity of the underlying asset at a given price on or before a given date.

Warrants :Options generally have lives of upto one year; the majority of options traded on options exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months. Longer- dated options are called warrants and are generally traded over-thecounter.

Leaps :The acronym LEAPS Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities. These are options having a maturity of upto three years.

Baskets :Basket options are options on portfolios of underlying assets. The underlying asset is usually a moving average of a basket of assets. Equity index options are a form of basket options.

Swaps :Swaps are private agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows in the future according to a prearranged formula they can be regarded as portfolios of forward contracts. The two commonly used swaps are: Interest rate swaps These entail swapping only the interest related cash flows between the parties in the same currency Currency swaps: These entail swapping both principal and interest between the parties, with the cash flows in one direction being in a different currency than those in the opposite direction.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

66

Swaptions :Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will become operative at the expiry of the options. Thus a swaption is an option on a forward swap. Rather than have calls and puts, the Swaptions market has receiver Swaptions and payer Swaptions. A receiver swaption is an option to receive fixed and pay floating. A payer swaption is an option to pay fixed and receive floating.

Products, participants and functions :Derivative contracts are of different types. The most are forwards, futures, options and swaps. common ones

Participants who trade in the

derivatives market can be classified under the following three broad categories - hedgers, speculators, and arbitragers.

Hedgers :The farmer's example that we discussed about was a case of hedging. Hedgers face risk associated with the price of an asset. They use the futures or options markets to reduce or eliminate this risk.

Speculators :Speculators are participants who wish to bet on future movements in the price of an asset. Futures and options contracts can give them leverage; that is, by putting in small amounts of money upfront, they can take large positions on the market. As a result of this leveraged speculative position, they increase the potential for large gains as well as large losses.

Arbitragers :Arbitragers work at making profits by taking advantage of discrepancy between prices of the same product across different markets. If, for example, they see the futures price of an asset getting out of line with the cash price, they would take offsetting positions in the two markets to lock in the profit.

Types of Derivative Market


Derivative contracts are of different types. The four important types of derivatives are: a. Forward contract b. Futures c. Options d. Swap The difference between a share and derivative is that shares/securities are an asset while derivative instrument is a contract. Futures and options can be traded on stock exchanges. Let us discuss each of these in greater depth. However as mentioned earlier, for understanding future contract, it is necessary to understand about forward contract. So, first of all we discussed about the forward contracts

Forward Contracts :A forward contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset on a specified date for a specified price. One of the parties to the contract assumes a long position and agrees to buy the underlying asset on a certain specified future date for a certain specified price. The other party assumes a short position and agrees to sell the asset on the same date for the same price. Other contract details like delivery date, the parties to the contract negotiate price and quantity bilaterally. The forward contracts are normally traded outside the exchanges.

The salient features of forward contracts are : They are bilateral contracts and hence exposed to counter party risk. Each contract is custom designed, and hence is unique in terms of contract size, expiration date and the asset type and quality. The contract price is generally not available in public domain. On the expiration date, the contract has to be settled by delivery of the asset.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

68

If the party wishes to reverse the contract, it has to compulsorily go to the same counter-party, which often results in high prices being charged.

However

forward

contracts

in

certain

markets

have

become

very

standardized, as in the case of foreign exchange, thereby reducing transaction costs and increasing transactions volume. This process of standardization reaches its limit in the organized futures market.

Limitations of forward markets : Forward markets world-wide are affected by several problems: Lack of centralization of trading Illiquidity Counterpart risk

Futures Contracts :Futures markets were designed to solve the problems that exist in forward markets. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price. But unlike forward contracts, the futures contracts are standardized and exchange traded. To facilitate liquidity in the futures contracts, the exchange specifies certain standard features of the contract. It is a standardized contract with standard underlying instrument, a standard quantity and quality of the underlying instrument that can be delivered, (or which can be used for reference purposes in settlement) and a standard timing of such settlement. A futures contract may be offset prior to maturity by entering into an equal and opposite transaction. More than 99% of futures transactions are offset this way.

The standardized items in a futures contract are: Quality of the underlying Quantity of the underlying

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

69

The date and the month of delivery The units of price quotation and minimum price change Location of settlement

Pricing Futures :The theoretical price of a futures contract is spot price of the underlying plus the cost of carry. Please note that futures are not about predicting future prices of the underlying assets. In general, Futures Price = Spot Price + Cost of Carry The Cost of Carry is the sum of all costs incurred if a similar position is taken in cash market and carried to expiry of the futures contract less any revenue that may arise out of holding the asset. The cost typically includes interest cost in case of financial futures (insurance and storage costs are also considered in case of commodity futures). Revenue may be in the form of dividend. Though one can calculate the theoretical price, the actual price may vary depending upon the demand and supply of the underlying asset.

Advantages and risks of trading in futures over cash :The biggest advantage of futures is that you can short sell without having stock and one can carry your position for a long time, which is not possible in the cash segment because of rolling settlement. Conversely you can buy futures and carry the position for a long time without taking delivery, unlike in the cash segment where you have to take delivery because of rolling settlement. Further futures positions are leveraged positions. By using you can take a Rs100 position by paying Rs25 margin and daily mark-to-market loss, if any. This can enhance the return on capital deployed. For example, you expect a Rs100 stock to go up by Rs10. One way is to buy the stock in the cash segment by paying Rs100. So, one make Rs10 on investment of Rs100, giving about 10% returns. Alternatively he/she take futures position in the stock by paying about Rs30 K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 70

toward initial and mark-to-market margin and by using future he/she make Rs10 on investment of Rs30, i.e. about 33% returns. However, taking leveraged position is very risky. One can even lose his/her full capital in case the price moves against your position.

Options :Options are fundamentally different from forward and futures contracts. An option gives the holder of the option the right to do something. The holder does not have to exercise this right. In contrast, in a forward or futures contract, the two parties have committed themselves to doing something. Whereas it costs nothing (except margin requirements) to enter into a futures contract, the purchase of an option requires an up front payment.

The understanding of the following terms would make the concept of Option easy to understand.

Commodity options :Commodity options are options with a commodity as the underlying. For instance a gold options contract would give the holder the right to buy or sell a specified quantity of gold at the price specified in the contract.

Stock options :Stock options are options on individual stocks. Options currently trade on over 500 stocks in the United States. A contract gives the holder the right to buy or sell shares at the specified price.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

71

There are two basic types of options, call options and put options.

Call option :A call option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy an asset by a certain date for a certain price.

Put option :A put option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to sell an asset by a certain date for a certain price.

2.12) Overview Of commodity Market :Commodity is defined as any bulk good traded on an exchange or in the cash market. One of the first forms of trade between individuals began by what is called the barter system wherein goods were traded for goods. Lack of a medium for exchange was the sole initiator of this system. Animals were the first few commodities to be exchanged. Some examples of commodities include grain, oats, gold, oil, beef, silver, and natural gas.

In these intervening years, some regional exchanges specializing in specific commodities, where the bans were lifted, have carried on the baton. Also large informal trading, primarily by the speculative segment of the universe of market participants has remained. This has led to a mindset in the common man in the country that commodity exchanges are purely speculative in nature.

Evolution of Commodity Market in India


India has a long history of futures trading in commodities. In India, trading in commodity futures has been in existence from the nineteenth

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

72

century with organized trading in cotton, through the establishment of Bombay Cotton Trade Association Ltd. in 1875. Bombay Cotton Exchange Ltd. was established in 1893 following the widespread discontent amongst leading cotton mill owners and merchants over functioning of Bombay Cotton Trade Association.

The Futures trading in oilseeds started in 1900 with the establishment of the Gujarati Vyapari Mandali, which carried on futures trading in groundnut, castor seed and cotton.

Futures trading in wheat were existent at several places in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. But the most notable futures exchange for wheat was chamber of commerce at Hapur set up in 1913. Futures trading in bullion began in Mumbai in 1920. Calcutta Hessian Exchange Ltd. was established in 1919 for futures trading in raw jute and jute goods.

But organized futures trading in raw jute began only in 1927 with the establishment of East Indian Jute Association Ltd. These two associations amalgamated in 1945 to form the East India Jute & Hessian Ltd. to conduct organized trading in both Raw Jute and Jute goods.

There were booming activities in this market and at one time as many as 110 exchanges were conducting forward trade in various commodities in the country. The securities market was a poor cousin of this market as there were not many papers to be traded at that time.

Downfall :The era of widespread shortages in many essential commodities resulting in inflationary pressures and the till towards socialist policy, in which the role of market forces for resource allocation got diminished, saw the decline of this market since the mid-1960s. This coupled with the regulatory

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

73

constraints in 1960s, resulted in virtual dismantling of the commodities future markets. It is only in the last decade that commodity future exchanges have been actively encouraged. However, the markets have been thin with poor liquidity and have not grown to any significant level.

Indian Policy makers have traditionally coped with the uncertainty and risks associated with price volatility by resorting to policy instruments which attempted to minimize or eliminate price volatility - a virtually closed external trade regime, price control, pervasive government controls on private sector activities extensive market interventions and crop insurance.

The Rising :Liberalization of Indian economy since 1991 recognized the role of market and private initiative for the development of the economy. The much maligned market instruments such as the futures trading were also given due recognition. After some halting efforts since 1994 when Prof. Kabra Committee submitted its report, the late 1990s spilling into the new millennium, saw some bold initiatives in the commodity market.

The year 2003 marked the real turning point in the policy framework for commodity market when the government issued notifications for withdrawing all prohibitions and opening up forward trading in all the commodities. This period also witnessed other reforms, such as, amendments to the Essential Commodities Act, Securities (Contract) Rules, which have reduced

bottlenecks in the development and growth of commodity markets. Of the country's total GDP, commodities related (and dependent) industries constitute about roughly 50-60 %, which itself cannot be ignored.

Most of the existing Indian commodity exchanges are single commodity platforms; are regional in nature, run mainly by entities which trade on them resulting in substantial conflict of interests, opaque in their functioning and

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI

74

have not used technology to scale up their operations and reach to bring down their costs.

But with the strong emergence of: National Multi-commodity Exchange Ltd., Ahmedabad (NMCE), Multi Commodity Exchange Ltd., Mumbai (MCX), National Commodities and Derivatives Exchange, Mumbai (NCDEX), and National Board of Trade, Indore (NBOT), all these shortcomings will be addressed rapidly. These exchanges are expected to be role model to other exchanges and are likely to compete for trade not only among themselves but also with the existing exchanges.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 103

4.1) Introduction
Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information to increase our understanding of the phenomenon under study. It is the function of the researcher to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon and to communicate that understanding to others.

Research is a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation The Websters international dictionary proposes a very inclusive definition of research as a careful, critical inquiry or examination in seeking facts or principles; diligent investigation in order to ascertain something.

Research, stated otherwise, is a systematic attempt to push back the bound of comprehension and seek beyond the horizons of our knowledge some truth or some reality, shrouded in a subtle why and consequently, to keep on extending as also consolidating these horizons without end.

According is an academic activity and as such them term should be used in a technical sense. According to Clifford woody research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions: collecting, organizing and evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 104

4.2) Define the Problem The degree of literacy about stock market
Under this study I had focus to discover literacy of investor regarding stock market. Because during my training at angel broking company. I found that the people are not aware about the stock market. They hadnt sufficient knowledge about derivative and commodity. So, I decided to investigate about the literacy of various investment instruments used by the people of Surat city. It also aimed to know how we can educate to the people about stock market. The purpose was also to identify about various sources which were affecting to the decision of the clients to invest in stock market.

4.3) Literature Review


DERIVATIVES The origin of derivatives can be traced back to the need of farmers to protect themselves against fluctuations in the price of their crop. From the the time it was sown to the time it was ready for harvest, farmers would face price uncertainty. Through the use of simple derivative products, it was possible for the farmer to partially or fully transfer price risks by locking-in asset prices. These were simple contracts developed to meet the needs of farmers and were basically a means of reducing risk.

A farmer who sowed his crop in June faced uncertainty over the price he would receive for his harvest in September. In years of scarcity, he would probably obtain attractive prices. However, during times of oversupply, he would have to dispose off his harvest at a very low price. Clearly this meant that the farmer and his family were exposed to a high risk of price uncertainty.

On the other hand, a merchant with an ongoing requirement of grains too would face a price risk - that of having to pay exorbitant prices during dearth, although favorable prices could be obtained during periods of oversupply. Under such circumstances, it clearly made sense for the farmer and the

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 105

merchant to come together and enter into a contract whereby the price of the grain to be delivered in September could be decided earlier. What they would then negotiate happened to be a futures-type contract, which would enable both parties to eliminate the price risk.

In 1848, the Chicago Board of Trade, or CBOT, was established to bring farmers and merchants together. A group of traders got together and created the 'to-arrive' contract that permitted farmers to lock in to price upfront and deliver the grain later. These to-arrive contracts proved useful as a device for hedging and speculation on price changes. These were eventually standardized, and in 1925 the first futures clearing house came into existence.

Today, derivative contracts exist on a variety of commodities such as corn, pepper, cotton, wheat, silver, etc. Besides commodities, derivatives contracts also exist on a lot of financial underlying like stocks, interest rate, exchange rate, etc.

The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards, futures and options, can be traced back to the willingness of riskaverse economic agents to guard themselves against uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset prices. By their very nature, the financial markets are marked by a very high degree of volatility. Through the use of derivative products, it is possible to partially or fully transfer price risks by locking-in asset prices. As instruments of risk management, these generally do not influence the fluctuations in the underlying asset prices. However, by locking in asset prices, derivative products minimize the impact of fluctuations in asset prices on the profitability and cash flow situation of risk-averse investors.

The International Monetary Fund defines derivatives as " financial instruments that are linked to a specific financial instrument or indicator or commodity and through which specific financial risks can be traded in financial markets in their own right. The value of a financial derivative derives from the

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 106

price of an underlying item, such as an asset or index. Unlike debt securities, no principal is advanced to be repaid and no investment income accrues".

Derivative products initially emerged as hedging devices against fluctuations in commodity prices and commodity-linked derivatives remained the sole form of such products for almost three hundred years.

Commodity :-

Derivatives as a tool for managing risk first originated in the commodities markets. They were then found useful as a hedging tool in financial markets as well. In India, trading in commodity futures has been in existence from the nineteenth century with organized trading in cotton through the establishment of Cotton Trade Association in 1875. Over a period of time, other commodities were permitted to be traded in futures exchanges. Regulatory constraints in 1960s resulted in virtual dismantling of the commodities future markets. It is only in the last decade that commodity future exchanges have been actively encouraged. However, the markets have been thin with poor liquidity and have not grown to any significant level.

NCDEX :National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange Ltd (NCDEX) is a technology driven commodity exchange. It is a public limited company registered under the Companies Act, 1956 with the Registrar of Companies, Maharashtra in Mumbai on April 23, 2003. It has an independent Board of Directors and professionals not having any vested interest in commodity markets. It has been launched to provide a world-class commodity exchange platform for market participants to trade in a wide spectrum of commodity derivatives driven by best global practices, professionalism and transparency.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 107

NCDEX is regulated by Forward Markets Commission in respect of futures trading in commodities. Besides, NCDEX is subjected to various laws of the land like the Companies Act, Stamp Act, Contracts Act, Forward Commission (Regulation) Act and various other legislations, which impinge on its working. It is located in Mumbai and offers facilities to its members in about 91 cities throughout India at the moment.

4.6) Limitations of the study :Personal bias :People may have personal bias towards particular investment option so that they may not give correct information. Time limit :The time duration for the research is short, so a census is not possible due to time limit, so I have collected data through sample survey. Area :The survey was limited only to the physical boundary of Surat city only, so I can not know the degree of literacy about sock market outside the city. Sample size :I have collected data from 100 samples only, which may not reflect the proper result of the study.

Lack of expertise :This research work is prepared by me, so there is chance of lack of expertise knowledge in the particular field.

For those who were investing in stock market, questions like whether they are investing in equity or derivatives or both and how they want to learn about stock market. In my research study I consider those sample unit in which

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 110

people are investing in different investment option. For that we accepted convenient sampling method, and collected that data from the surat city. There are mainly two sources of data collection that are as under:

(1) Primary Data Primary data are those, which are collected by the researcher at the first time, and they are original in character to study a particular problem. Primary data is collected by questionnaires, personal contact of customer and telephonic interview.

The normal procedure is to interview some people individually to get a sense of how they feel about stock market. I have put the questionnaire on behalf of different businessman, students, professionals, service class people and they fill up the questionnaires by themselves. So far as my research is concerned, primary data is the main source of information. I have collected data questionnaire and information from respondents. (2) Secondary data

When data are collected and compelled from the published nature or any others primary data is called secondary data. So far my research is concerned; I have not collected any information from any sources. So, I have not used secondary source of data collection for my research work.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 116

Interpretation :It can be seen from the graph that almost respondents have given preference for investment to Jewellery, Shares/equity and Insurance.

Now we come to the one of the most risky but at the same time the medium of getting maximum returns Stocks. Here we found that 30 people invest in share market. And we also say that people invest in both primary market and secondary market. The number of people investing in IPOs is increasing day by day. Many investors are opening Demat account only for the purpose of IPOs.

In this study, I found that 10 investors invested in jewellery because it can be used for wearing to enhance appearance.

People are investing in Bank fixed deposit because it gives safety of investment and fixed return.

Aged people preferred to invest in P.P.F and Pension fund. As they were more interested in safety, they give more importance to this type of securities.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 117

Mutual Funds are considered to be a very good option of investment nowadays. But there are number of people who are not aware of mutual funds. They even dont know what these mutual fu nds are for and how they are beneficial. We found that professionals are interested in mutual funds and stocks both type of investment options. Real Estate investment is preferred by more than half of the investors.

6) HOW TO INVEST IN STOCKS :-

IPOS Secondary Market Both

Number of Investors (%) 34 21 45

Interpretation :For investing in stock market, the two options available are (1) IPOs (Primary) and (2) Secondary Market. It is said that investing in secondary market is riskier than IPOs. Among the people we surveyed, those who were

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 118

giving importance to Safety and Less risk, moderate return were investing just in IPOs. Nowadays most of the IPOs are giving higher return to investors.

7) FACTORS CONSIDERED IN INVESTMENT


1st Rank 2nd Rank of 43 12 24 21 12 36 33 19 3rd Rank 20 22 13 45 4th Rank 25 18 33 24

Safety investment High return Speculation Income

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 119

Interpretation :Moving to the next question of ranks given to different investment options, in chart we can see that 43% people has given 1st rank to Safety of

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 120

investment. So we can say that more investors are giving much importance to safety. And thus can be interpreted that they want to play safe. This is based clearly on finance funda- High risk, High return and Low risk, low return. For such type of investors, better medium of investments are insurance policies, P.P.F, Government securities, postal scheme and Bank fixed deposit, bonds and debentures. In a developing country like India, where number of lower middle class is the highest therefore prefer safe investment options at the cost of high return. 36% investors have given 2nd rank to high return. So it is clear that investors have an internal fear about high risk taking but they are investing in IPOs because it gives high return at low risk as compared to secondary market. It is also found that businessmen and professionals are higher risk taking class as they have greater purchasing power compared to service class people. Some mutual funds also give higher return so investors also move towards mutual funds.

Interpretation :-

On asked to the respondents that while deciding to trade in derivative commodities, which do they consider the reliable source of information. I come up with the conclusion that most of investors take their decision independently and Take support of News channels. Broker/agents advice occupy the first place while taking decision to invest in stock market because brokers provide fundamental and technical research services for that they recruits experts.

5.) Findings :Business class investors more proportion of their income in shares & securities as compared to service class investors.

Majority of investors trade according to expert the daily traders.

Majority of investors take the decision on investment (where/what amount to invest) on their own idea and some rely on experts opinion and brokers advice.

In cash segment, capital gain is the prior motive of the investors followed by regular of the investors followed by regular income and tax income and tax planning.

The satisfaction level regarding services by brokers of phone service & professional advice is very low.

Professional advice available is not adequate regarding investment in secondary market.

Most of the investors feel that online trading is more transparent than the older form of trading (Ring trading).

Most of the people are aware of different charges charged by the brokers (Demat charges, transaction charges, service charges, service charges etc.).

While selecting a broker, brokerage & frequent payments were considered as main factors followed by personal relations. Most of the investors are not satisfied with phone services provided by the brokers,

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 129

The major problem faced by the investors is of brokers attitude towards small investors is not same as with the big investors.

Another major problems faced by the investors is to decide where/what amount is invested.

6.) Suggestion :As I have examined those different investors are giving priorities to investment instrument as per their need. Accordingly, as per the needs of the client, a product can be recommended to him. Angel Broking Limited has strength in Top Quality Research, Internet Trading, Investment Advisory Services, Value Added Back office services and DP Services. The firm also deals in commodities and insurance to add more number of clients.

Angel broking should increase its promotional activities and it should make aware people of Surat city about its product and services.

Angel broking should turn the existing customer to trade or invest in other product which they are not aware about or not investing in them.

Angel broking should organize seminars and presentation of highly experienced person. It should provide classroom training to those who are eager to learn about share market. It should distribute documents about product information.

Angel broking should utilize the Radio (FM), Newspaper, local T.V advertisement as a medium of promotion.

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 130

Angel should recruit more employees who can handle the price quotation call of clients so that they came to know right price quotation of the scrip inquired. Provide the facility of free demonstrations for all There should be a limited number of clients under the relationship manger. So that he can handle new as well as old customer properly People at young age should be encouraged to invest in stock market Seminars should be more held for providing information to prospective and present customers In the organization, There must be co-operation with other department and other branches Give more demonstration to customers so that they can get complete knowledge about online trading Give the complete information about products and services offered by the company to the customers. The number of branches it has at present should be increased all over the country, which will attract a large number of customers. Company should educate about the rules and regulations of SEBI to its customers.

7.) Conclusion :-

On the basis of the study it is found that Angel Broking Ltd. is better services provider than the other stockbrokers because of their timely research and personalized advice on what stocks to buy and sell. Angel Broking Ltd. provides the facility of Trade as well as relationship manager facility for encouragement and protects the interest of the investors. It also provides the information through the internet and mobile alerts that what IPOs are coming

K.K.PAREKH INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES - AMRELI 131

in the market and it also provides its research on the future prospect of the IPO. Study also concludes that people are not much aware of commodity market and Derivative Market while its going to be biggest market in India. From the above survey and observation it is found that most of the people who are trading in share market belongs to the employee group, next comes the business men and other class of income people. As the share market value goes on increasing day by day the investor who wants to invest in shares also increasing. But investing in shares is as risky as earning yield.

Trading in online trading firm is easy as it all delivered with internet and within a few minutes the customer can buy and sell shares which save time as well as reduction of paper work. Hence trading in share market is increasing day by day and investors are ready to invest their investment in share market only. I got the knowledge about the customers needs and their references for having a particular product. The need of customers differs from person to person, area, locality and occupation. Customer always wants more service by paying less.

They expect all the information such less rates, less brokerages, highly returns and better service level without delay
