EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


An asset class is a grouping of similar investments whose prices tend to move together.
Asset classes can be defined on a very general level, such as stocks or on a more specific
level, such as American silver producing companies.

The concept of asset classes is important because one of the goals when building an
investment portfolio is to use different asset classes which are not correlated with each other.
It is critical to know what type of asset classes you currently own to see if your asset
allocation (amounts of each asset class) is appropriate.

Title of Project:

consultancy firm which aim to help the investor in decision making as to where the

capital market and intermediaries in capital market in India we are going study the role
of intermediates that is the stock broker, sub broker and dealer in the stock market.
