1.

What is a stock market?

The stock market is a central market place for raising funds by Governments and various corporations to expand their businesses and shareholding base. This is usually done by issuing shares in a company which can then be bought and sold.

2. What is a stock exchange?

The fundamental role of a stock exchange is to provide a fair and internationally competitive market place for the trading of financial securities for the benefit of all participants (Listed Companies, Institutions and small investors). All countries who have a local stock exchange aim to provide a market place whereby:

Companies and Governments can raise funds, and Investors can invest surplus funds in anticipation of receiving dividends and
capital gain from their share investments.

3. What is a share market?

The share market comprises of two markets: The first is a primary market whereby companies or Governments issue new shares in order to raise capital to expand their operations (for whatever reason) and take on a wider range of shareholders. This is done by issuing an investment statement and/or a prospectus through an organizing or underwriting broker.

The second is the secondary market, which is the central market place provided by the stock exchange, where investors trade existing securities/shares.

4. What is a share and what is their use?

A share is a basic unit of ownership in a company. When you buy a share, you become a part-owner of a company. Ownership of that company is divided into millions of parts. These parts are called shares and each person who buys a share is a shareholder.

The directors of the company are employed to manage the business, but the
company is wholly owned by its shareholders.

When a company is founded, it often progresses and develops and often to

expand, it requires financial help. The company can opt to borrow funds from the bank and pay interest like a loan or they can opt to raise funds by becoming a listed company on the share market. There are many Rules and Regulations that a company must abide by and comply with, if they wish to list and issue securities on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. These Rules are administered and enforced by an independent Market Surveillance Panel. Once a Company has become a Listed Company on the NZX, it can raise funds by offering shares in return for 'cash'. A share of ownership is what the investor gets in exchange for their financial support.

Once the shares are listed on the market, they can be bought and sold among
investors in what is called the secondary market. It is this secondary market which attracts the most attention and is where most of the share transactions take place.

When shares are purchased, the ownership of a share entitles the share holder to
vote on company matters in proportion to their share holding and they are also entitled to a share of the profits distributed by the issuer in the form of dividends

National Stock Exchange (NSE)

With the liberalization of the Indian economy, it was found inevitable to lift the Indian stock market trading system on par with the international standards. On the basis of the recommendations of high powered Pherwani Committee, the National Stock Exchange was incorporated in 1992 by Industrial Development Bank of India, Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, Industrial Finance Corporation of India, all Insurance Corporations, selected commercial banks and others. Trading at NSE can be classified under two broad categories: (a) Wholesale debt market and (b) Capital market. Wholesale debt market operations are similar to money market operations - institutions and corporate bodies enter into high value transactions in financial instruments such as government securities, treasury bills, public sector unit bonds, commercial paper, certificate of deposit, etc. There are two kinds of players in NSE: (a) trading members and (b) participants. Recognized members of NSE are called trading members who trade on behalf of themselves and their clients. Participants include trading members and large players like banks who take direct settlement responsibility. Trading at NSE takes place through a fully automated screen-based trading mechanism which adopts the principle of an order-driven market. Trading members can stay at their offices and execute the trading, since they are linked through a communication network. The prices at which the buyer and seller are willing to transact will appear on the screen. When the prices match the transaction will be completed and a confirmation slip will be printed at the office of the trading member.

NSE has several advantages over the traditional trading exchanges. They are as follows:

NSE brings an integrated stock market trading network across the nation. Investors can trade at the same price from anywhere in the country since intermarket operations are streamlined coupled with the countrywide access to the securities.

Delays in communication, late payments and the malpractices prevailing in the traditional trading mechanism can be done away with greater operational efficiency and informational transparency in the stock market operations, with the support of total computerized network.

Unless stock markets provide professionalized service, small investors and foreign investors will not be interested in capital market operations. And capital market being one of the major sources of long-term finance for industrial projects, India cannot afford to damage the capital market path. In this regard NSE gains vital importance in the Indian capital market system.

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

Bombay Stock Exchange Limited 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 corporatised entity incorporated under the provisions of the Companies

Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE(Corporatisation and Demutualisation) Scheme, 2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). With demutualisation, the trading rights and ownership rights have been de-linked effectively addressing concerns regarding perceived and real conflicts of interest. The Exchange is professionally managed under the overall direction of the Board of Directors. The Board comprises eminent professionals, representatives of Trading Members and the Managing Director of the Exchange. The Board is inclusive and is designed to benefit from the participation of market intermediaries. In terms of organization structure, the Board formulates larger policy issues and exercises over-all control. The committees constituted by the Board are broad-based.

The Exchange has a nation-wide reach with a presence in 417 cities and towns of India. The systems and processes of the Exchange are designed to safeguard market integrity and enhance transparency in operations. During the year 2004-2005, the trading volumes on the Exchange showed robust growth. The Exchange provides an efficient and transparent market for trading in equity, debt instruments and derivatives.

CHAPTER-2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

RESEARCH METHEDOLOGY Objective of research;

1 2 T he main objective of this project is concerned with getting the opinion of people regarding Mutual Funds and Life Insurance , to target them and create awareness while with the generation of leads. 3 4 I have tried to explore the general opinion about Mutual Funds and Life Insurance. It also covers why/ why not investors are availing the services of financial advisors. 5 6 Along with it a brief introduction to Indias largest financial intermediary, RELIANCE MONEY has been given and it is shown that what are mutual funds and life insurance and how they work Scope of the study: The research was carried on in the Southern Region of India. It is restricted to Hyderabad. I have visited people randomly nearby my locality, different shopping malls, small retailers etc . Data sources: Research is totally based on primary data. Secondary data can be used only for the reference. Research has been done by primary data collection, and primary data has been collected by interacting with various people. The secondary data has been collected through various journals and websites and some special publications of RMONEY.

The scope of the study refers to the job that to know about the activities of the organization. The study means that the analysis of the products of the company on which he/she has to focus. During the MSP days the volunteer need to find out the corporate strategies of the running company and the mile stone which the company has covered during its journey. In the summer training, it is necessary for the student that he /she involve with the experience guys to get the knowledge about the company. That is how the company has got the success, Or if it is going in the loss, why. During this MSP period I have found that the reliance group is the biggest group in Indian companies. I felt that I can learn the more in the Reliance Money and Reliance Mutual Fund. Reliance Money and Reliance Mutual fund is the part of the Reliance Capital Limited which is a growing company in the financial products. Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group is also deals in communication, energy, natural resources, media, and entertainment, healthcare and infrastructure Sampling procedure: The sample is selected in a random way, irrespective of them being investor or not or availing the services or not. It was collected through mails and personal visits to the known persons, by formal and informal talks and through filling up the questionnaire prepared. The data has been analyzed by using the measures of central tendencies like Mean, median, mode. The group has been selected and the analysis has been done on the basis statistical tools available. 1 Sample size: The sample size of my project is limited to 200 only. Out of which only 135 people attempted all the questions. Other 65 not investing in MFs and dont have a Life Insurance policy attempted only 2 questions. 1 2 Sample design: Data has been presented with the help of bar graph, pie charts, line graphs etc.

 Hypothesis: H0: Targeting and Positioning Strategy based on investment in Mutual Fund and Life Insurances is significant.

Investors often enter the equity market without understanding the risks. Such investment carries systemic risks, irrespective of whether one opts for direct exposure or through mutual funds. Here is a way to evaluate such risk. To achieve financial goals, the first evaluation is the risk-taking capacity of the individual. People tend to take higher risks early in their career. Later on their risk-taking abilities are limited due to the lesser number of earning years. The fewer earning years ahead limits the latters risk-taking ability even if the individual is very keen to achieve investment goals. If individuals are unable to understand and assess their risk appetite, it may not be wise to hold risky assets such as equity. Risk perception: Let us say that the risk perception of investors vary between 1 and 100 per cent. For someone in his 20s, equity may mean losing as much as 40 per cent of investments, while for his father, a 10 per cent decline could mean a high-risk strategy. This perception arises from ones ability to tolerate risk. Another key issue in which investors often falter is the nature of funds. Take the example of an investor who made his money in the derivatives market in 2007; this prompted him to use his fathers retirement corpus (earmarked for the investors sisters wedding) in a high beta mutual fund, which fell by over 50 per cent in a downturn. Two lessons emerge from this case: one, funds with a crucial financial goal in the near future cannot be exposed to market vagaries. Two, transfer of risk to a younger person does not automatically mitigate the risk of investing in equity.

The final step of evaluation is risk tolerance. If you cannot stomach losing money dont barge into the equity market. If you are ready to lose at least 20-30 per cent, then you can consider mutual funds. Risk tolerance: We come across advisors recommending MIPs to retired people as part of portfolio diversification. The advisor might know the risk profile of the investment but investor understands the risk only when he losses money. To understand how it is possible to lose money without understanding the risk tolerance, we analysed the performance of monthly income plans (which invest about 80 per cent of the money in debt schemes and rest in equity). The perception among individuals is that monthly income schemes declare dividends every month. Some investors enquire during market downturns why their MIPs are not declaring dividends. For instance, if an individual had invested in an MIP in January 2008, the one-year category average return of the scheme would have been minus 8 per cent. The disparity between the best in the category and the worst was wide. The best generated a 20 per cent return in one year ending January 2009 while the worst lost 12 per cent. If you had invested in the scheme without understanding your risk tolerance and sold the units in loss in panic, your tolerance for risk was low. Had the person stayed invested during the market correction, the fund would have once again moved to positive territory. For instance if you look at a one-year period ending September 29, the best performing Reliance Monthly Income Plan generated a return of 30 per cent while, for the same period FT India Monthly Plan (Bonus) lost 3.5 per cent. This shows that before investing one has to evaluate the risk-taking capacity, perception and tolerance towards risk to accumulate money in an asset class such as equity

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA

Major part of the liberalization process was the repeal of the Capital Issues (control) Act, 1947, in May 1992. With this, Governments control over issues of capital, pricing of the issues, fixing of premia and rates of interest on debentures etc. ceased, and the office which administered the Act was abolished: the market was allowed to allocate resources to competing uses. However, to ensure effective regulation of the market, SEBI Act, 1992 was enacted to establish SEBI with statutory powers for: Protecting the interests of investors in securities. Promoting the development of the securities market, and Regulating the securities market

Its regulatory jurisdiction extends over corporate in the issuance of capital and transfer of securities, in addition to all intermediaries and person associated with securities market. SEBI can specify the matters to be discloser and the standards of disclosure required for the protection of investors in respect of issues; can issue directions to all intermediaries and other person associated with the securities market in the interest of investors or of orderly development of securities market and can conduct enquiries, audits and inspections of all concern and adjudicate offences under the Act. In short, it has been given necessary autonomy and authority to regulate and develop an orderly securities market. All the intermediaries in the market, such as brokers and sub brokers, underwriters, merchant bankers, bankers to the issue, share transfer agents and registrars to the issue , are now required to register with SEBI and are governed by its regulations. A code of conduct of each intermediary has been prescribed in the regulations; capital adequacy and other norms have been specified; a system of monitoring and inspecting their operations has been instituted to enforce compliance; and disciplinary actions are being taken against the intermediaries violating any regulation.

FUNCTIONS OF SEBI
SEBI has been obligated to protect the interests of the investors n securities and to promote and development of, and to regulate the securities market by such measures as it thinks fit. SEBI, in particular, has power for:(a) Regulating the business in stock exchanges and other securities markets (b) Registering and regulating the working of stock brokers, sub brokers, share transfer agents, bankers to an issue, trustees of trust deeds, registrars to an issue, merchant bankers, underwriters, portfolio managers, investment advisers and such other intermediaries who may be associated with securities markets in any manner; (c) Registering and regulating the working of depositories, participants, custodians of securities, foreign institutional investors, credit rating agencies and such other intermediaries as SEBI may, by notification, specify in this behalf; (d) Registering and regulating the working of venture capital funds and collective investment schemes including mutual funds; (e) Promoting and regulating self regulatory organizations; (f) Prohibiting fraudulent and unfair trade practices relating to securities market; (g) Promoting investors education and training of intermediaries of securities markets; (h) Prohibiting insider trading in securities; (i) Regulating substantial acquisition of shares and take over of companies; (j) Calling for information from, undertaking inspection, conducting inquiries and audits of the stock exchanges, mutual funds and other persons associated with the securities market and self regulatory organizations in the securities market; (k) Performing such functions and exercising according to securities contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, as may be delegated to it by the Central Government; (l) Levying fees or other charges for carrying out the purpose of this section; (m)Conducting research for the above purpose.

(n) Calling from or furnishing to any such agencies, as may be specified by SEBI, such information as may be considered necessary by it for the efficient discharge of its functions.

A number of studies on the identification of training needs in India are available.For training activity to be meaningful a detailed study of jobs and skilled analysis is absolutely necessary.The training thus imparted would help employees to adjust to their job requirements . There is a shift seen from knowledge to attitude as the main objective of training .There are mainly three areas of training technical skills,and conceptual and interpersonal skills .The worker training should focus on technical skills and knowledge followed by conceptual and interpersonal skills,and knowledge of organization and other systems In the case of supervisors, conceptual and interpersonal skills should be emphasized followed by technical skills and knowledge knowledge of organization and external environment.As far as the managers are concerned ,the sequence is same as that for supervisor s except that the order of knowledge of organization and external environment and technical skills is interchanged. The quality of employees and their development through training and education are major factors in determining long term profitability of a small business.If you hire and keep good employees,it is good policy to invest in the development of their skills ,so they can increase their productivity.

Purpose of training and development Reasons for emphasizing the growth and development of personnel include Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may leave or move up in the organization. Enhancing the companys ability to adopt and use advances in technology because of sufficiently knowledgeable staff. Building an more efficient ,effective and highly motivated team, which enhances the companys competitive position and improves employee morale.Ensuring adequate human resources for expansion into new programs .

EQUITY :

Investing in equity involves purchasing shares of a company listed on a

stock exchange. You can acquire these shares in two ways - either through the Primary Market, i.e., when a company makes an offer to issue its equity for the first time (this is called Initial Public Offering (IPO)) or through the secondary market, i.e. via a stock exchange. When you trade in equity through a stock exchange, you have to make use of the services of a brokerage firm, which acts as your agent whenever you buy or sell. Equity is considered a high risk-high return investment avenue. This is because there is scope for considerable appreciation or loss of the capital that you invest, depending on various factors such as the performance of the company that you have invested in, general market conditions, the state of the economy, etc. However, it forms an integral part of any well-balanced portfolio, since it is at one end of the risk-return spectrum. Equity is a must for any well-balanced portfolio. So, irrespective of whether you are a high net worth investor or a small retail investor and irrespective of whether you have a large or timid appetite for risk, you must hold some portion of your assets in equity. This is because it is the only instrument that has the ability to truly deliver a high return, when held over a long period of time. There are various risks that companies are exposed to and when you invest in equity, your returns are affected by these risks. These are business risks (i.e. the risks associated with the prosperity of a business and the demand for its products), financial risks (the skill with which a companys finances are managed to ensure that it has an optimum level of debt, equity, reserves, etc.), industry risk (changes in technology, regulations, fashions, etc., affect the performance of an industry), management risks (the level of corporate governance, management skills and vision), political, economic and exchange rate risks (these factors affect a company but are outside its control). There are other risks, such as

market risks (the risk that the market will collapse, or that you have invested at the peak), which determine your returns on your equity investment. The timing of trading in commodity market is

COMMODITY:

Commodities have occupied a large space in our life. The

commodity market is one of the oldest prevailing market in the human history. Trading in commodity market is just like buying and selling shares of a company. In our country there are three most prominent commodity exchanges MCX, NCDEX and NMCE. Futures market in commodity is a continuous auction market where buyers and sellers meet to trade on futures contract of specific underlying commodity. Futures contract is legally obligatory. Delivery period, quantity and quality of a contract are standard. Buyers and sellers negotiate through an exchange to set a price. A future trading is trading of futures contract. The buyer of futures contract has a right to purchase the commodity of same quality, quantity in specified time from the seller of the contract. Banks, Mutual funds, FIIs, and NRIs are not allowed to trade. The timing of trading in commodity market is Monday to Friday 10 am 5 pm for agro-based commodities Monday to Friday 10 am 11.30 pm for precious / base metals and energy Saturdays 10 am 2 pm all commodities

DERIVATIVES: The term derivative refers to an asset that has no independent value,
bu derives its value from that of an underlying asset. Te underlying asset could be securities, commodities, bullion, currency, livestock or anything else. Trading in derivatives allows us to speculate, hedge, undertake arbitrage activities and buy on margin. There are broadly 2 types of derivatives futures and options. Futures are that derivative contracts that require you to sell or buy a specified quantity of the underlying asset on a specified date (expiration date) at the spot price of the underlying asset prevailing on the

expiration date. Futures can have a validity of 1 month, 2 months or 3 months. These contracts do not have a strike price. An option is a type of derivative contract that gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation or the liability), to buy or sell a specified quantity of the underlying asset (in this case, stocks or an index) at an agreed price (strike/exercise price) on or before the specified future date (expiration date). You can purchase an option for a price called premium.

OFF SHORE INVESTMENTS: for the first time in the history or India, traders now
have a new world of off-shore investment opportunities. The product suite being discussed include contracts replicating the returns from US and UK equities, global indices, bullion, crude and metals traded on commodity exchanges across the globe, and forex. Foreign Exchange is the trading of one currency against another. Professionals refer to this as foreign exchange, or use the acronyms Forex or FX. The financial asset constituting Forex are currency-pairs like Euro and US Dollar, or US Dollar and Japanese Yen, and so on. (In the same way as Scripts constitute the Stock Market) Forex Trade takes place in Forex Market which is chiefly an Over-The-Counter market, meaning that transactions are conducted between any two counter parties that agree to trade via the telephone or electronic network. Ideally there would be an entity providing the structure which makes the trading possible, such entities are called Market-maker. Market Makers assume the role of counterparty in all trades that happen through their clients. (The Market-maker in Forex Market may be compared to the Stock Exchanges in the case of Equity Market)

IPOS: Initial Public Offering, IPO, is when an unlisted company makes either a fresh
issue of securities or an offer for sale of its existing securities or both for the first time to the public. In which peoples bid for shares and wait till the company listed in the stock exchange. After listing the can sell those shares at higher price and earn the profit.

TRADING SYSTEM
The Exchange, as stated earlier, had an open outcry trading system till March 1995 where member-brokers used to assemble in a trading ring for doing transactions in securities. It had switched over to a fully automated computerized mode of trading known as BOLT (BSE on Line Trading) System w.e.f. March 14, 1995. Through the BOLT system, the member-brokers now enter orders for purchase or sell of securities from Trader Work Stations (TWSs) installed in their offices instead of assembling in the trading ring. This system, which was initially both order and quote driven, is currently only order driven. The system, which is now only order driven, facilitates more efficient inputting, processing, automatic matching and faster execution of orders in a transparent manner. The trading in securities at the Exchange is conducted in an anonymous environment and the counterparty identity is not revealed. The buyers and sellers of securities do not know the names of each other. The member-brokers of the Exchange were permitted to open trading terminals only within the city limits of Mumbai till 1996. The Exchange obtained permission from SEBI for expansion of its BOLT network to locations outside Mumbai. The expansion of BOLT network to cities outside Mumbai was inaugurated by Shri P. Chidambaram, the

Finance Minister, Government of India on August 31, 1997. The Exchange was initially allowed by SEBI to set up trading terminals in all places except in the jurisdictional areas of other Regional Stock Exchange. For setting up trading terminals in the jurisdictional areas of other Regional Stock Exchange, the exchange was required to enter into Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the respective Stock Exchange. However, with certain modifications in this regard announced by SEBI towards the end of the year 1999, the member-brokers of the Exchange are now free to install their trading terminals at any place in the country including in the jurisdictional areas of other Regional Stock Exchanges. In order to expand the reach of BOLT network to centers outside Mumbai, to reach out to investors in these centers and provide them access to the trading facilities in all scripts listed and permitted to be traded on the Exchange and to support the smaller Regional Stock Exchanges, the Exchange has admitted subsidiary companies formed by 15 Regional Stock Exchanges as its member-brokers as on June 30, 2003. The member-brokers of these Regional Stock Exchange work as sub-brokers of the member-brokers of the Exchange. Trading on the BOLT System is conducted fro Monday to Friday between 9:55 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The scripts traded on the Exchange have been classified into A, B1, B2, F, G and Z groups. The Exchange has for the guidance and benefit of investors classified the scripts in the Equity Segment in A, B1, & B2 based on certain qualitative and quantitative parameters which include number of trades, value traded, etc. for the guidance and benefit of investors. The F group represents the fixed income securities wherein 730 securities securities were listed as on June 30, 2003. The Exchange has commenced trading in Govt. Securities for retail investors under G group w.e.f. January 16, 2003 and 85 Govt. Securities are traded on the Exchange under this group as on June 30, 2003. The Z group was introduced by the Exchange in July 1999 and includes the companies which have failed to comply with the listing requirements of the Exchange and / or have

failed to resolve investor complaints or have not made the required arrangements with both the Depositories, viz., Central Depository Services (I) Ltd. (CDSL) and National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) for dematerialization of their securities. Companies n Z group numbered 2776 as on June30, 2003. of these, 1275 companies were in Z group for not complying with the provisions of the listing agreement and not resolving pending investor complaints and the balance 1501 companies were on account of not making arrangements for dematerialization of their securities . Once they finalize he arrangements for dematerialization of their securities, trading and settlement in their scripts would be shifted to their respective rest groups.

NEED OF A DEMAT ACCOUNT

With SEBI making trading mandatory on more than 700 scripts, it is imperative that all investors have Demat Account with a Depository Participants. This is because most trades get settled electronically at the stock exchange. When you place a buy order, a seller can deliver the Demat securities, which can only be credited to Demat account. The advantages of having Demat account is as follow 1. No space required to keep the shares. 2. No exclusive manpower is required. 3. No insurance required. 4. Periodic statement of holding is made available by the DPs easy verification of audits. 5. Custody charges vary from 3 to 10 % basis paints depending upon DP selected . 6.
