Myself Ashish L. Sorathiya, student of Vivekanand College for B.B.A. who is presently undertaking education in the spare of Bachelor of Business Administration which covers total business activities. As students of management, I must be encouraged by the growth and rapid developments taken place in Various Sectors, in India. Still
recently, management is growing baby. Keeping in mind the ever development field of management and great demand for Finance in our country, our university (VNSGU) has arranged specialization program in many field of management. Thus, it is our moral and obligatory duty to take this part of our studies with great enthusiasm and seriousness and give it the due importance. My report gives information about the Behavior of Investors for Investing in Various sectors regarding Equity market.

Days were gone when people only invest their money in Post offices or in Banks and another safely fixed return investment. Today people have several choices for the investment alternatives. Now a day, one of the most emerging choices is to invest in equities shares. To get good return on investment, people are ready to take risks. Law always says that investors get HIGHER RETURN if they take HIGH RISK. For high risk there is one avenue to invest and that is Equity Market. This Project Focused On INVESTORS BEHAVIOUR FOR INVESTING IN EQUITY MARKET IN VARIOUS SECTORS IN SURAT CITY. Objectives behind this project are to know investors behavior for investing in various sectors regarding equity market, to know their preference of investment in equity market, and to know whether potential growth of equity market is there or not. I have used Descriptive Research Design because answers the questions who, what, where, when and how. This study is complex and determines high degree scientific skill to study the problem. Questionnaires are used for survey purpose and before going to actual survey pilot testing were also done. Sample size is of 175 respondents who are the actual and potential investors from whole of the equity market of Surat city and also from Sharekhan Securities Pvt. Ltd. Here, each sample has the chance to be selected on an equal basis because I have used simple random sampling method for surveying purpose. From research I found that 68% of investors are investing in Equity Market. While 36% of investors are not investing in Equity Market as per my sample size 175.
Means most of the customers are aware about Equity Market. There are certain customers who are also aware about equity market but, they not want to invest in equity market, Reasons for not investing in equity market is high risk and there are no any fixed returns criteria and Investors age also affect in risk factor. Means old persons risk bearing capacity is law so, investors also select investment avenue as per his/her risk bearing capacity Equity share holder is real owner of the company in spite of their priority in getting dividend is comes last. Major Investors are investing in equity market only due to
earn high return and hedge the risk by investing their 5%-10% of income in Equity Market. 28% of investors invest in Equity market for the period of 1 to 3 Months and the same proportion of investors are invest for long period more than year. On the basis of research I found that, major investors have selected Oil & gas sector as a 1st Rank, IT sector as a 2nd Rank, Banking sector as a 3nd Rank, Automobile sector as a 4th Rank and Infrastructure sector as a 5nd Rank. Most of investors have considered Market trend, Price Earning Ratio, Dividend and Profitability as a most important factor while selecting the Sector and company under the sector. I have used SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for analysis purpose and in that I have used graphical
representation & interpretation with each graphs and charts and Microsoft Office is used for data typing formatting and analyzing the data.

Stock Market
Stock markets refer to a market place where investors can buy and sell stocks. The price at which each buying and selling transaction takes is determined by the market forces (i.e. demand and supply for a particular stock). A stock market is a public market 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. The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion USD at the beginning of October 2008. The stock market is one of the most important sources for companies to raise money. This allows businesses to be publicly traded, or raise additional capital for expansion by selling shares of ownership of the company in a public market. In fact, the stock market is often considered the primary indicator of a country's economic strength and development. Rising share prices, for instance, tend to be associated with increased business investment and vice versa. In this way, investing in stock market, the stock exchanges also play importance role. Exchanges also act as the clearinghouse for each transaction, meaning that they collect and deliver the shares, and guarantee payment to the seller of a security. This eliminates the risk to an individual buyer or seller that the counterparty could default on the transaction. So, here we also understand about Stock Exchanges as follows.
Stock exchange
A stock exchange is an entity which provides "trading" facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade stocks and other securities. Stock Exchanges are an organised marketplace, either corporation or mutual organisation, where members of the organisation gather to trade company stocks or other securities. Stock exchanges also provide facilities for the issue and redemption of securities as well as other financial instruments and capital events including the payment of income and dividends. The securities traded on a stock exchange include: shares issued by companies, unit trusts, derivatives, pooled investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there. Usually there is a central location at least for recordkeeping, but trade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are electronic networks, which gives them advantages of speed and cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. A stock exchange is often the most important component of a stock market. Supply and demand in stock markets is driven by various factors which, as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks. There is usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange itself, nor must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such trading is said to be off exchange or over-the-counter. This is the usual way that derivatives and bonds are traded. Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market for securities.

History of BSE
The Bombay Stock Exchange is known as the oldest exchange in Asia. It traces its history to the 1850s, when stockbrokers would gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai's Town Hall. The location of these meetings changed many times, as the number of brokers constantly increased. The group eventually moved to Dalal Street in 1874 and in 1875 became an official organization known as 'The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association'. In 1956, the BSE became the first stock exchange to be recognized by the Indian Government under the Securities Contracts Regulation Act. The Bombay Stock Exchange developed the BSE Sensex in 1986, giving the BSE a means to measure overall performance of the exchange. In 2000 the BSE used this index to open its derivatives market, trading Sensex futures contracts. The development of Sensex options along with equity derivatives followed in 2001 and 2002, expanding the BSE's trading platform. Historically an open-cry floor trading exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange switched to an electronic trading system in 1995. It took the exchange only fifty days to make this transition.

5. Automobile Sector:
Automobile industry is one of the fastest growing industries of the world. With more than 2 million new automobiles rolling out each year, on roads of India, the industry is set to grow further.
Automobile industry made its silent entry in India in the nineteenth century. Since the launch of the first car in 1897, India automobile industry has come a long way. Today India is the largest three wheeler market in the world and is expected to take over China as the second largest automobile market, in the coming years. Some facts on Automobile industry in India:
India has the fourth largest car market in the world India has the largest three wheeler market in the world India is the second largest producer of two wheelers in the world India ranks fifth in the production of commercial vehicles The growth of the Indian middle class along with the growth of the
economy over the past few years has attracted global auto majors to the Indian market. Moreover, India provides trained manpower at competitive costs making India a favoured global manufacturing hub. The attractiveness of the Indian markets on one hand and the stagnation of the auto sector in markets such as Europe, US and Japan on the other have resulted in shifting of new capacities and flow of capital to the Indian automobile industry. Global auto majors such as Japanese auto majors Suzuki, Honda and Korean car giant Hyundai are increasingly banking on their Indian operations to add weight to their businesses, even as numbers stay uncertain in developed markets due to economic recession and slowdown.
According to figures released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), domestic passenger car sales have increased 32.28 percent to reach 145,905 units in January 2010 from 110,300 units in the same month last year. Across all categories, total sale of vehicles increased 44.94 per cent to 1,114,157 units in January 2010, against 768,698 units in the January 2009. The Indian auto industry is likely to see a growth of 10-12 percent in sales in 2010, according to a report by the global rating firm. India has become the second-largest maker of small cars, overtaking Brazil. Small cars account for 80 per cent of the domestic market (up from 75 per cent last year) and exports are growing at top speed. According to SIAM, small car exports rise 53 percent between April and September 2009 to 197,249 units against 129,090 units a year ago. In order to make India a power to reckon with in the automotive sector the government launched the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006-2016.
The vision of the AMP is "to emerge as the destination of choice in the world for design and manufacture of automobiles and auto components with output reaching a level of US$ 145 billion accounting for more than 10 per cent of the GDP and providing additional employment to 25 million people by 2016." As per the AMP, it is estimated that the total turnover of the automotive industry in India would be in the order of US$ 122 billion - US$ 159 billion in 2016. Further, by 2016, the automotive sector would double its contribution to the country's GDP from current levels of five percent to 10-12 per cent.

Institutions like IDBI, IFCI, ICICI, and other state financial corporations come under this category. These institutions meet the growing and varied long term loans. They also help in identifying investment opportunities, encourage new entrepreneurs and support modernization efforts.
Mortgages Market:
The mortgage market refers to these centers which supply mortgage loan mainly to individual customers. A mortgage loan is a loan against the security of immovable properly like real estate. The transfer of interest in a specific immovable properly to secure a loan is called mortgage. These mortgages may be equitable mortgage or legal one. Again it may be a first charge of title deeds to properties as security whereas in the case of a legal mortgage the title in the property is legally transferred to the lender by the borrower.

Guarantee is a contract to discharge the liability of a third party in case of his default. Guarantee acts as a security from the creditors point of view. In case the borrower fails to repay the loan, the liability falls on the shoulders of the guarantor. Hence the guarantor must be known to both the borrower and the lender and he must have the means to discharge his liability. Though there are many types of guarantees, the common forms ate: (i) (ii) Performance Guarantee Financial Guarantee
Performance guarantees cover the payment of earnest money, retention money, advance payments, non-completion of contracts etc. On the other hand financial guarantees cover only financial contracts. In India, the market for financial guarantees is well organized.

These guarantees ate provided mainly by commercial banks, development banks, Governments both central and states and other specialized guarantee institutions like ECGC (Export Credit Guarantee Corporation) and DICGO (Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation). This guarantee financial service is available to both individual and corporate customers. For a smooth functioning of any financial system, this guarantee service is absolutely essential.

As no human being is perfect, it is not possible for anyone to make the best or perfect report. Each person has some level of knowledge and is affected by some uncontrollable factors within which he/she has to work. So, it
might possible that there can be some limitations in this report that may be due to my knowledge level or some other factors. According to me following limitations can be prevailing in my report: Respondents might have felt hesitation in providing information related to their age, income etc. So, there can be some data that might questionable because of unwillingness of respondents to give right information. Sample selected may not represent whole population, as sample size selected is very small in proportion to population due to time and cost constraints. Even many of the respondents may give bias answer.

Here, target population is decided who are the actual and potential investors, each sample has the chance to be selected on an equal basis & this research has been conducted through surveying the whole of the equity market of Surat city
Sample Size:
For getting better result of the given problem I have to determine the perfect sample size as on 90% confidence level which is calculated statically by the given formula.
n = p*q (z /c) 2
Where, n = sample size p = percentage picking a choice (expressed as decimal) q = (1 - p) Z = Z value (e.g. 1.645 for 90% confidence level) c = confidence interval, expressed as decimal (e.g., 0.05 = 5)
n = p*q (z /c) 2
= 0.80*0.20 (1.645/0.05) 2 = 173.1856 = 175 Therefore, I used sample size is 175
Confidence interval:
In statistics, a confidence interval (CI) is a particular kind of interval estimate of a population parameter. Instead of estimating the parameter by a single value, an interval likely to include the parameter is given.
Thus, confidence intervals are used to indicate the reliability of an estimate. The end points of the confidence interval are referred to as confidence limits. A confidence interval is always qualified by a particular confidence level, usually expressed as a percentage. The calculation of a confidence interval generally requires assumptions about the nature of the estimation. For example, Here, I have used a confidence interval of 0.05 and 80% percent of sample picks an answer is to be "sure" that if I had asked the question of the entire relevant population between 80% (100-20) and 20% (100-80) would have picked that answer.
Confidence level:
The confidence level tells you how sure you can be. It is expressed as a percentage and represents how often the true percentage of the population who would pick an answer lies within the confidence interval. The confidence level associated with a confidence interval estimate is the success rate of the method used to construct the interval. The 90% confidence level means you can be 90% sure; When I put the confidence level and the confidence interval together, I can say that I am 90% sure that the true percentage of the population is between 20% and 80%. So, I have taken 90% confidence level means I am 90% sure. As on 90% confidence level value of Z = 1.645 Here, I have calculated formula on the basis of 90% confidence level.
Sampling frame:
Sampling frame is the actual set of units from which a sample has been drawn. In sampling frame, I have used simple random sampling method for conducting survey. In a simple random sample ('SRS') all units from the sampling frame have an equal chance to be drawn and to occur in the sample. Here, I have used sampling frame as an actual and potential investors from whole of the equity market of Surat city and also from Sharekhan Securities Pvt. Ltd. Here, each sample has the chance to be selected on an equal basis because I have used simple random sampling method for surveying purpose.
Response Rate:
The response rate was average. I have used questionnaire method for the financial information of the respondent, most of the people hesitated to provide the required information and also the questionnaire contained some financial terms that were technical in nature, which resulted into reduced response rate. I have visited nearly 200 potential respondents, out of which only 175 gave proper response. Hence, Response Rate = 175/200 = 87.5%
I have used SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for analysis purpose. In that I have used Mean, Median, Mode, Frequency Table, and Cross Tabulation, Graphical representation & interpretation with each graphs and charts. Microsoft Office is used for data typing formatting and analyzing the data.

Recommendation to Investors:
Prefer investment for long term investment strategy that provides you moderate return with liquidity. Investors should not invest in only equity market but, also invest in other Safe Securities Like- Fixed Deposits, Government Securities, Bonds, Mutual fund and Insurance etc. which also provides return. For Example: One should prefer o Equity 50% o Other Safe Securities 50% So, one can get moderate return with liquidity. Investors should invest money at lower level price and sale the stock at higher price. Investors should select company on the basis of PE ratio, EPS, Current Growth of Company and Market capitalization and many more. So, investors can get higher return on their investment. Always invest extra money in stock market. Do not invest by taking loan from banks or other resources. moderate
Recommendation to Company:
From my research, I found that only 68% of investors are investing in equity market, so more focus should on 32% of investors who are not investing in equity market.
Broking
firms
or
companies
should
promote
Equity
investment
Majority of investors (53%) are investing secondary market (equity market) and very few (18%) investors are investing in Primary Market. So, here broking firm should promote to their client for investing in Primary Market also. Company should have to concentrate on those people who are not investing in Equity Market because of High risk than convert them in investing other security like-Mutual Fund, Bonds, and Insurance etc. which also provides moderate return. The Stock Broking firm should also provide better services to the investor to increase the satisfaction level of the investors.
Company should focus on students also because equity market has risk and the younger generation likes to take risk.
Majority investors are investing in Oil & gas sector and IT sector.
So, Company should also suggest to investors for investing other sector which is also profitable.
