INDUSTRY PROFILE
ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE OF THE COMPANY THE BACKGROUND
The Indian financial services industry is in a process of rapid transformation. Reforms are continuing as part of the overall structural reforms aimed at improving the productivity and efficiency of the economy. The role of an integrated financial infrastructure is to stimulate and sustain economic growth. Overall, the US$28 billion Indian financial sector has grown at around 15 percent and has displayed stability for the last several years, even when other markets in the Asian region were facing a crisis, according to Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. This stability was ensured through the resilience that has been built into the system over time. The financial sector has kept pace with the growing needs of corporate and other borrowers. Banks, capital market participants and insurers have developed a wide range of products and services to suit varied customer requirements. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has successfully introduced a regime where interest rates are more in line with market forces. Financial institutions have combated the reduction in interest rates and pressure on their margins by constantly innovating and targeting attractive consumer segments. Banks and trade financiers have also played an important role in promoting foreign trade of the country.
FINANCIAL SERVICES The financial services domain includes three important processes of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance. These services are offered to the various constituents of the financial markets. Financial markets can be divided into different sub-types: Capital markets that consist of stock markets (which provide financing through the issuance of shares or common stock and enable the subsequent trading thereof) and bond markets (which provide financing through the issuance of bonds and enable the subsequent trading thereof) Commodity markets that facilitate the trading of commodities Money markets that provide short-term debt financing and investment Derivatives markets (including futures markets) that provide instruments for the management of financial risk Insurance markets that facilitate the redistribution of various risks Foreign exchange markets that facilitate the trading of foreign exchange Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance are highly related but distinct activities that solve different problems for different sets of constituents of an organization. For the smooth and efficient management of any organization, it is very crucial to ensure that they go hand in hand. It is very important to realize that if the first
(governance) is not in place, the second two (risk management and compliance) become irrelevant and probably cannot be meaningfully achieved. Governance is the responsibility of senior executive management and focuses on creating organizational transparency by defining the mechanisms an organization uses to ensure that its constituents follow established processes and policies. A proper governance strategy implements systems to monitor and record current business activity, takes steps to ensure compliance with agreed policies, and provides for corrective action in cases where the rules have been ignored or misconstrued. Risk Management is the process by which an organization sets the risk tolerance, identifies potential risks, and prioritizes the tolerance for risk, based on the organizations business objectives. Risk Management leverages internal controls to manage and mitigate risk throughout the organization. Compliance is the process that records and monitors the controlsphysical, logical, or organizationalneeded to enable compliance with legislative or industry mandates as well as internal policies. SCOPE OF FINANCIAL MARKET The Financial Market in India at present is more advanced than many other sectors as it became organized as early as the 19th century with the securities exchanges in Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Kolkata. In the early 1960s, the number of securities exchanges in India became eight - including Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Kolkata. Apart from these three exchanges, there was the Madras, Kanpur, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune exchanges as well.
Today there are 23 regional securities exchanges in India. The Indian Stock Markets till date have remained stagnant due to the rigid economic controls. It was only in 1991, after the liberalization process that the India securities market witnessed a flurry of IPOs serially. The market saw many new companies spanning across different industry segments and business began to flourish. The launch of the NSE (National Stock Exchange) and the OTCEI (Over the Counter Exchange of India) in the mid-1990s helped in regulating a smooth and transparent form of securities trading. The regulatory body for the Indian capital markets was the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India). The capital markets in India experienced turbulence after which the SEBI came into prominence. The market loopholes had to be bridged by taking drastic measures. India Financial Market helps in promoting the savings of the economy - helping to adopt an effective channel to transmit various financial policies. The Indian financial sector is well developed, competitive, efficient and integrated to face all shocks. In the India financial market there are various types of financial products whose prices are determined by the numerous buyers and sellers in the market. The other determinant factor of the prices of the financial products is the market forces of demand and supply. The various other types of Indian markets help in the functioning of the wide india financial sector.

The dealings on stock exchanges were restricted to its headquarters. The investors across the lack of information, but today due to Internet, on line quoting facility is available at the computers of investors, as a result. They can keep track of prince fluctuations taking place on stock exchange every second during the working hours. Certain T.V. channels like CNBC are fully devoted to stock market information and corporate news. Even other channels display the on line quoting of stocks, thus.

FINANCIAL MARKET
CAPITAL MARKET(SEBI)
MONEY MARKET(RBI)
CAPITAL MARKET
The capital market is the market for securities, where companies and governments can raise long-term funds. It is a market in which money is lent for periods longer than a year. A nation's capital market includes such financial institutions as banks, insurance companies, and stock exchanges that channel long-term investment funds to commercial and industrial borrowers. Unlike the money market, on which lending is ordinarily short term, the capital market typically finances fixed investments like those in buildings and machinery.
CAPITAL MARKET
BOND MARKET The bond market (also known as the debt, credit, or fixed income market) is a financial market where participants buy and sell debt securities, usually in the form of bonds. References to the "bond market" usually refer to the government bond market, because of its size, liquidity, lack of credit risk and, therefore, sensitivity to interest rates.
Because of the inverse relationship between bond valuation and interest rates, the bond market is often used to indicate changes in interest rates or the shape of the yield curve. EQUITY MARKET A stock market or equity market is a public market (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) for the trading of company stock and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
PRIMARY MARKET
SECONDARY MARKET
PRIMARY MARKET It is also called the new issue market, is the market for issuing new securities. Many companies, especially small and medium scale, enter the primary market to raise money from the public to expand their businesses. They sell their securities to the public through an initial public offering.
The securities can be directly bought from the shareholders, which is not the case for the secondary market. The primary market is a market for new capitals that will be traded over a longer period. In the primary market, securities are issued on an exchange basis. The underwriters, that is, the investment banks, play an important role in this market: they set the initial price range for a particular share and then supervise the selling of that share. Investors can obtain news of upcoming shares only on the primary market. The issuing firm collects money, which is then used to finance its operations or expand business, by selling its shares. Before selling a security on the primary market, the firm must fulfill all the requirements regarding the exchange. SECONDARY MARKET All the securities are first created in the primary market and then, they enter into the secondary market. In the New York Stock Exchange, all the stocks belong to the secondary market. In other words, secondary market is a place where any type of used goods is available. In the secondary market shares are maneuvered from one investor to other, that is, one investor buys an asset from another investor instead of an issuing corporation. So, the secondary market should be liquid. MONEY MARKET Money market means market where money or its equivalent can be traded. Money is synonym of liquidity. Money market consists of financial institutions and dealers in money or credit who wish to generate liquidity. By convention, the term Money Market refers to the market for short time requirement & deployment of funds. Money
market instruments are those instruments, which have a maturity time of less than 1 year. The most active part of the money market is the market for overnight call and term money between the banks, institutions as well as call money transactions. Call Money or Repo is very short term Money Market products. The below mentioned instruments are normally termed as money market instruments. The slice of the financial market where instruments with high liquid and short maturities are traded is called money market. It is a generic definition. The players who indulge in short time from several days to less than one year. It is generally used for borrow & lend over this short term. Due to the highly liquid nature of the security and short maturities, money market are perceived as a safe place to lock in money. The participants in the financial market perceive a thin line, differentiating between the capital market & the money market. Capital market refers to stock markets where the common stocks are traded, and bond markets where bonds are issued and traded. This is in sharp contrast to money markets which provide short term debt financing and investment. In money market, there is borrowing and lending for periods of a year or less. Treasury Bills are highly liquid short-time instruments that yield attractive returns. Short- term borrowing instruments of the Central Government, it is a promise to pay a said sum after expiry of a specified period. It is a zero-risk instrument available in both primary and secondary markets. Money market instruments are characterized by high degree of safety of the principal. Commercial paper is a short-term unsecured promissory note issued by corporate sand financial institutions. Commercial Paper is short-term loan that is issued by corporation use for financing accounts receivable and inventories. Issued at discount
to the face value, they yield attractive returns. The Government of India securities are sovereign coupon bearing instruments that are issued by the Government of India. The Money market instrument meets the short-term requirements of borrowers and provides liquidity to lenders. Short-term surplus funds at the disposal of institutions and individuals are bid by borrowers, who could be in the same category. Debt instrument which have a maturity of less than a year at the time of issue are called money market instruments.
Types of debt instruments include notes, bonds, certificates, mortgages, leases or other agreements between a lender and a borrower. These instruments are highly liquid and have negligible risk. The major money market instruments are Treasury bills, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and repos. The money market is dominated by the government, financial institutions, banks, and corporate. Individual investors scarcely participate in the money market directly. A brief description of money market instruments is given below.

TRADING
In the developing country like India, every individual wants to invest his money in a hassle free way & in those Financial Instruments that may give maximum returns. People are now a days busy with their own works and thus prefer e-trading rather than going to the brokers and waiting for getting the delivery of shares in their Trading Account.
Share market is the market for securities where organized issuance and trading of shares takes place. Shares are certificates which represent ownership rights of theAs a basic result of all this, traditional investing has experienced a revolution due to the rise of the e-brokerage industry, which enables investors to use the internet to conduct secure trading. Two factors are contributing to the enormous growth of online investing. First, the Internet gives ready access to raw data. Second, investment houses can offer
transactions at lower prices than traditional methods by eliminating the need for brokers or financial advisers.
But for discussing all this, the first and foremost thing that must be known is t holder in a company. It plays an important role in channelizing capital from the investors to the business houses which consequently leads to the availability of funds for business expansion. Shares in the Share Market are either traded through:-
(a) Stock Exchange: These are organized market places where stocks, bonds are other equivalents are traded between the buyers and sellers where exchange acts as counter-party to both the participants in case of any default. (b) Over-the -Counter (OTC): These are not centralized exchanges and the trade takes place through a network of dealers. Trading is a basic economic concept that involves multiple parties participating in the voluntary negotiation and then the exchange of ones goods and services for desired goods and services that someone else possesses. The advent of money as a medium of exchange has allowed trade to be conducted in a manner that is much simpler and effective compared to earlier forms of trade, such as bartering. In financial markets, trading also can mean performing a transaction that involves the selling and purchasing of a security.
1. Intraday trading: In this type of trading an investor buy and sell stocks during the same day. Intraday Traders are of two types :-
i. Scalp Traders: Investors who perform many trades per day for scalping out small profits out of the bid-ask spread, from each trade are known as scalp traders. ii. Momentum Traders: Investors who pounce on those stocks which move significantly in one direction and book desired profit are called momentum traders. They do this within a day.
2. Delivery trading: In this type of trading an investor buys the share for holding purposes. Delivery Traders are:-
i. Technical Traders: They believe that buying/selling signals are present within the graphs and charts of the stock. ii. Fundamental Traders: They perform trade on the basis of study of fact-sheets of the company like historical profit graph, balance sheet, anticipated earning reports, stock splits, mergers and acquisitions, etc. iii. Swing Traders: They are basically fundamental traders who take delivery of trades for a span of short period generally more than one day.
Offline Trading: In this form of trading the customer has to place order to the dealer of the stock broking firm either in person or over phone. Offline trading is the main form of investing the money in securities. Offline trading offers many benefits as well.
1. The one benefit that an investor appreciates the most is that they are not alone when making investment decisions.
2. There are experienced and professional brokerage companies that handle their investments for them.
3. Investors are not faced with the challenge of making these vital investment decisions; especially, if they do not have the experience necessary to make the appropriate investments
Online Trading: The client could place his order on his own from any place he wants, provided he has a computer with an Internet connection. Online Trading has made it easy for private investors to gain straight access to a range of different security markets that were, at one point, only reserved by the use of investment professionals. Online trading has dramatically changed over the last decade. It continues to be redefined. Services have expanded to include integrated management of additional financial accounts. It has subsequently expanded in conjunction with ground-breaking improvements to the traditional trading interface, such as telephone interface systems. There are several wonderful reasons to invest online rather than offline trading.
1. Instant online access:- You can gain instant access to your account, the value of your portfolio updates immediately before your eyes.
2. Enter online trades at anytime during Market hours:- You can enter online trades at anytime and from anywhere. This is very convenient if you live in a different time zone than the country you are trading in. It especially fits for investors with busy schedules.
3. With online trading you are in charge:- You are in control of your investments. No sales pitches and no hassle. You decide where to invest your money.
Thus, online stock trading is the easy way to buy and sell shares from the comfort of your home.
Finding a company that provides you with a secure trading account can be difficult. There are many companies that will offer you excellent services for trading, but you will want to find one that meets your needs and requ irements .But you shouldnt go with a company just based on their reputation; instead you should see what they can offer you because your needs as a trader will be radically different from someone traders who have different levels of experience and who have different proclivities toward risk and security. You may not always want to look towards the most economical rate of trading but make sure you work with a reputable organization and RELIANCE MONEY is one of them.

People are reluctant to invest due to recession thus incentives should be offered A lot of stress has been laid on spreading the information regarding the financing schemes in the report.

SUGGESTION
The most vital problem spotted is of ignorance. Investors should be made aware of the benefits. Nobody will invest until and unless he is fully convinced. Investors should be made to realize that ignorance is no longer bliss and what they are losing by not investing. Mutual funds offer a lot of benefit which no other single option could offer. But most of the people are not even aware of what actually a mutual fund is? They only see it as just another investment option. So the advisors should try to change their mindsets. The advisors should target for more and more young investors. Young investors as well as persons at the height of their career would like to go for advisors due to lack of expertise and time. The advisors may try to highlight some of the value added benefits of Mutual funds such as tax benefit, rupee cost averaging, and systematic transfer plan, rebalancing etc. these benefits are not offered by other options single-handedly. So these are enough to drive the investors towards mutual funds. Investors could also try to increase the spectrum of services offered. Now the most important reason for not availing the services of advisors was spotted was being expensive. The advisors should try to charge a nominal fee at the beginning. But if not possible then they could go for offering more services and benefits at the existing rate. They should also maintain their decency and follow the code of ethics so that the investors could trust upon them. Thus the advisors should try to attract more and more persons and turn them into investors and finally their clients.
