CAPITAL #ARK T
)he capital market is market where the !ompanies and governments can raise long.term unds. It is a market in which money is lent or periods longer than a year. ( nation4s capital market includes such inancial institutions as banks, insurance companies, and stock exchanges that channel long.term investment unds to commercial and industrial borrowers. -nlike the money market, on which lending is ordinarily short term, the capital market typically inances ixed investments like those in buildings and machinery. Nature and Con$tituent$/ )he capital market consists o number o individuals and institutions 'including the government+ that canali#e the supply and demand or long. term capital and claims on capital. )he stock exchange, commercial banks, co.operative banks, saving banks, development banks, insurance companies, investment trust or companies, etc., are important constituents o the capital markets. )he capital market, like the money market, has three important!omponents, namely the
suppliers o loanable unds, the borrowers and the Intermediaries who deal with the leaders on the one hand and the 9orrowers on the other. )he demand or capital comes mostly rom agriculture, industry, trade )he government. )he predominant orm o industrial organi#ation developed !apital Market becomes a necessary in rastructure or ast industriali#ation. !apital market not concerned solely with the issue o new claims on capital, 9ut also with dealing in existing claims.Image o the captial marketplace
of bonds. As of 2009, the si e of the worldwide bond market (total debt outstandin!) is an estimated "#2.2 trillion $%&, of which the si e of the outstandin! '.(. bond market debt was ")%.2 trillion accordin! to *+( (or alternati,ely ")-.) trillion accordin! to (+./A).
0early all of the "#22 billion a,era!e daily tradin! ,olume in the '.(. bond market takes place between broker1dealers and lar!e institutions in a decentrali ed, o,er1the1 counter (2T3) market. 4owe,er, a small number of bonds, primarily corporate, are listed on exchan!es.
5eferences to the 6bond market6 usually refer to the !o,ernment bond market, because of its si e, li7uidity, lack of credit risk and, therefore, sensiti,ity to interest
rates. *ecause of the in,erse relationship between bond ,aluation and interest
rates, the bond market is often used to indicate chan!es in interest rates or the shape of the yield cur,e
broader indices that can be used to measure global bond port olios, or may be urther subdivided by maturity andJor sector or managing speciali#ed port olios.
The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchan!es which are entities of a corporation or mutual or!ani ation speciali ed in the business of brin!in! buyers and sellers of the or!ani ations to a listin! of stocks and securities to!ether. The lar!est stock market in the 'nited (tates, by market cap is the 0ew =ork (tock >xchan!e, 0=(>, while in 3anada, it is the Toronto (tock >xchan!e. /a;or >uropean examples of stock exchan!es include the

include the Tokyo (tock >xchan!e, the 4on! Con! (tock >xchan!e, the (han!hai

)he primary role o the capital market is to raise long.term unds or governments, banks, and corporations while providing a plat orm or the trading o securitie )his undraising is regulated by the per ormance o the stock and bond markets within the capital market. )he member organi#ations o the capital market may issue stocks and bonds in order to raise unds. Investors can then invest in the capital market by purchasing those stocks and bonds.
The capital market, howe,er, is not without risk. +t is important for in,estors to understand market trends before fully in,estin! in the capital market. To that end,
there are ,arious market indices a,ailable to in,estors that reflect the present performance of the market.
T#e Ca$!ta Market%& In" uen'e on Internat!ona Trade 3apital market in,estment is no lon!er confined to the boundaries of a sin!le nation. TodayFs corporations and indi,iduals are able, under some re!ulation, to in,est in the capital market of any country in the world. +n,estment in forei!n capital markets has caused substantial enhancement to the business of international trade. capital market with hi!h li7uidity and hi!h transparency is predicated upon a secondary market with the same 7ualities.
contributed si!nificantly to mobili in! funds to meet public and pri,ate companiesF financin! re7uirements. The introduction of exchan!e1traded deri,ati,e instruments such as options and futures has enabled in,estors to better hed!e their positions and reduce risks.

+n 2009, +ndian companies raised more than "9 billion on the *(>, 0(> and other re!ional stock exchan!es. *uoyed by internal economic factors and forei!n capital flows, +ndian markets are !lobally competiti,e, e,en in terms of pricin!, efficiency and li7uidity.
US &ub $r!me 'r!&!&G The financial crisis facin! the Kall (treet is the worst since the Jreat Aepression
and will ha,e a ma;or impact on the '( and !lobal economy. The on!oin! !lobal financial crisis will ha,e a LdominoF effect and spill o,er all aspects of the economy. Aue to the Kestern worldFs messianic faith in the market forces and dere!ulation, the market friendly !o,ernments ha,e no choice but to step in.

T#e )ue&t!on ar!&e&* +#, #a& t#!& #a$$ened*esides the cyclical crisis of capitalism, there are some recent factors which ha,e contributed towards this crisis. 'nder the so1called Minno,ati,eN approach, financial institutions systematically underestimated risks durin! the boom in property prices, which makes such boom more prolon!ed. This relates to the shortsi!htedness of speculators and their unrestrained !reed, and they, durin! the asset price boom, belie,ed that it would stay fore,er. This resulted in keepin! the risk aspects at a minimum and thus resortin! to more and more risk takin! financial acti,ities. ?oans were made on the basis of collateral whose ,alue was inflated by a bubble. And the collateral is now worth less than the loan. 3redit was a,ailable up to full ,alue of the property which was assessed at inflated market prices. 3redits were !i,en in anticipation that risin! property prices will continue. 'nder loomin! recession and uncertainty, to pay back their mort!a!e many of those who en!a!ed in such an exercise are forced to sell their houses, at a time when the banks are reluctant to lend and buyers would like to wait in the hope that property prices will further come
down. All these factors would lead to a further decline in property prices.
E""e't o" t#e &ub$r!me 'r!&!& on Ind!a* Jlobali ation has ensured that the +ndian economy and financial markets cannot stay insulated from the present financial crisis in the de,eloped economies. +n the li!ht of the fact that the +ndian economy is linked to !lobal markets throu!h a full float in current account ( trade and ser,ices) and partial float in capital account (debt and e7uity), we need to analy e the impact based on three critical factorsG A,ailability of !lobal li7uidity8 demand for +ndia in,estment and cost thereof and decreased consumer demand affectin! +ndian exports. +n,estment flows into +ndia are in doubt. The impact of this will be three1foldG The element of JA@ !rowth dri,en by off1 shore flows (alon! with skills and technolo!y) will be diluted8 correction in the asset prices which were hitherto pushed by forei!n in,estors and demand for domestic li7uidity puttin! pressure on interest rates . Khile the !lobal financial system takes time to Mnurse its woundsN leadin! to low demand for in,estments in emer!in! markets, the impact will be on the cost and related risk premium. The impact will be felt both in the trade and capital account.
+ndian companies which had access to cheap forei!n currency funds for financin! their import and export will be the worst hit. Also, forei!n funds (throu!h debt and e7uity) will be a,ailable at hu!e premium and would be limited to blue1chip companies.
The impact of which, a!ain, will be three1foldG 5educed capacity expansion leadin! to supply side pressure8 increased interest expenses to affect corporate
profitability and increased demand for domestic li7uidity puttin! pressure on the interest rates.
3onsumer demand in de,eloped economies is certain to be hurt by the present crisis, leadin! to lower demand for +ndian !oods and ser,ices, thus affectin! the +ndian exports.
The impact of which, once a!ain, will be three1foldG >xport1oriented units will be the worst hit impactin! employment8 reduced exports will further widen the trade !ap to put pressure on rupee exchan!e rate and inter,ention leadin! to suckin! out li7uidity and pressure on interest rates.
T#e !m$a't on t#e "!nan'!a market& +! be t#e "o o+!ngG >7uity market will continue to remain in bearish mood with reduced off1shore flows, limited domestic appetite due to li7uidity pressure and pressure on corporate earnin!s8 while the inflation would stay under control, increased demand for domestic li7uidity will push interest rates hi!her and we are likely to witness !radual rupee depreciation and depleted currency reser,es. 2,erall, while 5*+ would in;ect li7uidity throu!h
The bankin! sector will ha,e the least impact as hi!h interest rates, increased demand for rupee loans and reduced statutory reser,es will lead to impro,ed 0+/ while, on the other hand, other income from cross1border business flows and distribution of in,estment products will take a hit.
*anks with capabilities to !enerate low cost 3A(A and ero cost float funds will !ain the most as re,enues from financial intermediation will dri,e the banksF profitability.
Ji,en the dependence on forei!n funds and off1shore consumer demand for the +ndia !rowth story, +ndia cannot wish away from the ne!ati,e impact of the present !lobal financial crisis but should 7uickly focus on alternati,e remedial measures to limit dama!e and look in1wards to sustain !rowthQ Ro e o" 'a$!ta market dur!ng t#e $re&ent 'r!&!&* +n addition to resource allocation, capital markets also pro,ided a medium for risk mana!ement by allowin! the di,ersification of risk in the economy.

.or a lon! time, the +ndian market was considered too small to warrant much attention. 4owe,er, this ,iew has chan!ed rapidly as ,ast amounts of international in,estment ha,e poured into our markets o,er the last decade. The +ndian market is no lon!er ,iewed as a static uni,erse but as a constantly e,ol,in! market pro,idin! attracti,e opportunities to the !lobal in,estin! community. 0ow durin! the present financial crisis, we saw how capital market stood still as the symbol of better risk mana!ement practices adopted by the +ndians. Thou!h we obser,ed a hu!e fall in the
sensex and other stock market indicators but that was all due to low confidence amon! the in,estors. *ecause balance sheet of most of the +ndian companies listed in the sensex were reflectin! profit e,en then people kept on withdrawin! money. Khile there was a panic in the capital market due to withdrawal by the .++s, we saw +ndian institutional in,estors like insurance and mutual funds comin! for the rescue under (>*+ !uidelines so that the confidence of the in,estors doesnFt !o
low.
(>*+ also came up with ,arious norms includin! more liberal policies re!ardin! participatory notes, restrictin! the exit from close ended mutual funds etc. to boost the in,estment.
Fhile talking about currency crisis, the rupee kept on depreciating against the dollar mainly due to the withdrawals by FIIs. &o , the capital market tried to attract FIIs once again. &,9I came up with many revolutionary re orms to attract the oreign investors so that the depreciation o rupee could be put to haul.

Eunning a success ul Mutual Fund re=uires complete understanding o the peculiarities o the Indian &tock Market and also the psyche o the small investors. )his study has made an attempt to understand the inancial behavior o Mutual Fund investors in connection with the pre erences o 9rand '(M!+, Products, !hannels etc. I observed that many o people have ear o Mutual Fund. )hey think their money will not be secure in Mutual Fund. )hey need the knowledge o Mutual Fund and its related terms. Many o people do not have invested in mutual und due to lack o awareness although they have money to invest. (s the awareness and income is growing the number o mutual und investors are also growing. K9randL plays important role or the investment. People invest in those
!ompanies where they have aith or they are well known with them. )here are many (M!s in Punjab but only some are per orming well due to 9rand awareness. &ome (M!s are not per orming well although some o the schemes o them are giving good return because o not awareness about 9rand. %istribution channels are also important or the investment in mutual und. Financial (dvisors are the most pre erred channel or the investment in mutual und. )hey can change investors; mind rom one investment option to others. Many o investors directly invest their money through (M! because they do not have to pay entry load. *nly those people invest directly who know well about mutual und and its operations and those have time.
