INTRODUCTION
Wealth management Service is provided by banks, professional trust companies, and
brokerages. For those with sizeable assets, professional wealth management can help you
plan your estate or invest your assets based on personal criteria and financial goals.
Wealth Management system is an integrated platform designed to support high

demand of customer relationship businesses and a complex portfolio management analysis.
The solution provides technology that helps private wealth institutions utilize their
customer’s database more proficiently and more efficiently. With IndiaInfoline WMS
sophisticated work system, firms will be able to enhance their services and sale capabilities
throughout a comprehensive set of wealth management services such as investment strategy
setting, marketing event or campaign management, a high level of portfolio management or a
graphic design of a consolidated report.
Wealth management System offers a one-stop solution to take the guess work out of
mandatory rollovers so you can save time and money.
Wealth management is an advanced investment advisory discipline that incorporates

financial planning and specialist financial services. The key objectives are to provide high net

worth individuals and families with tailored retail banking services, estate planning, legal
resources, taxation advice and investment management, with the goal of sustaining and
growing long-term wealth. Wealth management can be provided by independent financial
advisers or large corporate entities whose services are designed to focus on high-net worth
retail customers. Such customers would be considered mass affluent or upper retail clients
because of their net worth, the number of potential products they own from financial
institutions, their assets under management and other methods of segmentation. Large banks
and brokerage houses create separate sales forces, services and other benefits to retain or
attract these customers who are typically more profitable than other retail banking, brokerage,
or insurance customers.
In most industrialized countries, a substantial part of financial wealth is not managed
directly by savers, but through a financial intermediary, which implies the existence of an
agency contract between the investor (the principal) and a broker or portfolio manager (the
agent). Therefore, delegated brokerage management is arguably one of the most important
agency relationships intervening in the economy, with a possible impact on financial market
and economic developments at a macro level.
As the per-capita-income of the city is on the higher side, so it is quite obvious that
they want to invest their money in profitable ventures. On the other hand, a number of
brokerage houses make sure the hassle free investment in stocks. Asset management firms
allow investors to estimate both the expected risks and returns, as measured statistically.
There are mainly two types of Portfolio management strategies.
● Passive Portfolio Strategy

● Active Portfolio Strategy
1. Passive Portfolio Strategy: A strategy that involves minimal expectation input, and
instead relies on diversification to match the performance of some market index. A
passive strategy assumes that the marketplace will reflect all available information in
the price paid for securities
2. Active Portfolio Strategy: A strategy that uses available information and forecasting
techniques to seek a better performance than a portfolio that is simply diversified
broadly.

The Basic Methods of Wealth management is….
1) Mutual funds
A Mutual Fund is a body corporate registered with SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of
India) that pools money from individuals/corporate investors and invests the same in a variety
of different financial instruments or securities such as equity shares, Government securities,
Bonds, debentures etc. Mutual funds can thus be considered as financial intermediaries in the
investment business that collect funds from the public and invest on behalf of the investors.
Mutual funds issue units to the investors. The appreciation of the portfolio or securities in
which the mutual fund has invested the money leads to an appreciation in the value of the
units held by investors. The investment objectives outlined by a Mutual Fund in its
prospectus are binding on the Mutual Fund scheme. The investment objectives specify the
class of securities a Mutual Fund can invest in. Mutual Funds invest in various asset classes
like equity, bonds, debentures, commercial paper and government securities. The schemes
offered by mutual funds vary from fund to fund. Some are pure equity schemes; others are a
mix of equity and bonds. Investors are also given the option of getting dividends, which are
declared periodically by the mutual fund, or to participate only in the capital appreciation of
the scheme
2)Equities
Equity trading is the buying and selling of company stock shares. Shares in
large publicly-traded companies are bought and sold through one of the major stock
exchanges, such as the Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange, which serve as
managed auctions for stock trades.
Share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder to be one of the
owners of the company. A share is issued by a company or can be purchased from the stock
market.

Share market where dealing of securities is done is known as share market. There are two
ways in which investors gets share from market:
Primary market: markets in which new securities are issued are known as primary market.
This is part of the financial market where enterprises issue their new shares and bonds. It is
characterized by being the only moment when the enterprise received money in exchange for
selling its financial assets.
Secondary Market: Market in which existing securities are dealt is known as secondary
market. The market where securities are traded after, they are initially offered in the primary
market. Most trading is done in the secondary market.
The Stock Market is an invisible market that trades in stocks of various companies belonging
to both the public and private sectors. The Indian Stock Market is often referred to as the
Share Market since it deals primarily with shares of various companies.
A Stock Exchange is a place where the stocks are listed and traded. Such exchanges may be a
corporation or mutual organization which specializes in the business of introducing the
sellers with the buyers of stocks and securities.
The Indian Stock Market in India comprises of two stock exchanges:
● Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)
● National Stock Exchange (NSE)
BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was established in 1875.The BSE India Stock Exchange
serves as the most important for companies to raise money. The chief function of the Stock
Market of India is to help raise money as capital for the growth and expansion of various
private and public sector enterprises. Besides, the Stock Market of India provides able

assistance to the individual investors through daily updates on current position of the stocks
of the respective companies that are enlisted in the Stock Index in which the movement of
prices in a section of the market are captured in price indices. The popular acronym for Stock
Index is Sensitive index or sensex. Moreover, the liquidity provided by the exchange enables
the investors to sell securities owned by them easily and quickly. Hence a person, who is
subjected to sudden dearth of funds, can immediately sell his shares for cash in India Stock
Market.
The BSE Sensex, also known as “BSE 30” is a widely used market index not only in India
but across Asia. In terms of volume of transactions, it is ranked among the top five stock
exchanges in the world.
NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE (NSE)
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), set up in the year 1993, is today the
largest stock exchange in India and a preferred exchange for trading in equity, debt and
derivatives instruments by investors. NSE has set up a sophisticated electronic trading,
clearing and settlement platform and its infrastructure serves as a role model for the securities
industry. The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices; products and technology
have become industry benchmarks and are being replicated by many other market
participants.
NSE provides a screen-based automated trading system with a high degree of transparency
and equal access to investors irrespective of geographical location. The high level of
information dissemination through the on-line system has helped in integrating retail
investors across the nation.
The exchange has a network in more than 350 cities and its trading members are connected to
the central servers of the exchange in Mumbai through a sophisticated telecommunication
network comprising of over 2500 VSATs.

NSE has around 850 trading members and provides trading in equity shares and debt
securities. Besides this, NSE provides trading in various derivative products such as index
futures, index options, stock futures, stock options and interest rate futures.
In addition to these organizations there are other organizations highlighting on the share
trading in the Indian Stock Market are:
● Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
● NSDL
● CDSL
3)Commodities
Do you think gold prices will go up further?
Are you sure that crude oil prices are going to fall?
Have you heard that the soya crop this year is bad and will result in soya prices going up?
If you believe that these predictions have a good chance of coming true and are willing to
bet some money on them, you could try your hand at playing the commodity futures market.
A commodity is a basic good representing a monetary value. Commodities are most often
used as inputs in the production of other goods or services. With the advent of new online
exchange, commodities can now be traded in futures markets. When they are traded on an
exchange,
Commodities must also meet specified minimum standards known as basic grade.

4) Bonds
Bonds refer to debt instruments bearing interest on maturity. In simple terms,
organizations may borrow funds by issuing debt securities named bonds, having a fixed
maturity period (more than one year) and pay a specified rate of interest (coupon rate) on the
principal amount to the holders
It is a fixed income (debt) instrument issued for a period of more than one year with the
purpose of raising capital. The central or state government, corporations and similar
institutions sell bonds. A bond is generally a promise to repay the principal along with a fixed
rate of interest on a specified date, called the Maturity Date.
5) Portfolio Management Service (PMS)

Portfolio management service (PMS) is a type of professional service offered by
portfolio managers to their client to help them in managing their money in less time. Portfolio
managers manage the stocks, bonds, and mutual funds of clients considering their personal
investment goals and risk preferences. In addition to money, the portfolio managers manage
the portfolio of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
Successful investing in Capital Markets demands ever more time and expertise. Investment
Management is an art and a science in itself. Portfolio Management Services (PMS) is one
such service that is fast gaining eminence as an investment avenue of choice for High Net
worth Investors (HNI). PMS is a sophisticated investment vehicle that offers a range of
specialized investment strategies to capitalize on opportunities in the market. The Portfolio

India's leading stock broking house. At Angel, experienced portfolio management is the

difference. It will advise you on a suitable product based on factors such as your investment
horizon, return expectations and risk tolerance.
6) Loan
A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of
financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.
In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal,
from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender
at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular installments, or partial
repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same amount. The loan is generally
provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the
lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is
enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known
as loan covenants.
Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other
institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding.
7) Insurance
Insurance is a basic form of risk management which provides protection against
possible loss to life or physical assets. A person who seeks protection against such loss is
termed as insured, and the company that promises to honor the claim, in case such loss is
actually incurred by the insured, is termed as Insurer. In order to get the insurance, the
insured is required to pay to the insurance company (i.e. the insurer) a certain amount, termed
as premium, on a periodical basis (say monthly, quarterly, annually, or even one-time).

a Resident Indian or an NRI; you could want to buy a property now or in the future, but you

these are the general terms & conditions of a Home Loan. For more details, please refer to
the individual product.

• Stamp Duty and Registration Charges
• Personal Guarantee from Charges
• Cheque Bounce Charges
• Delayed Payment Charges
• Additional Charges
• Incidental Charges
• Prepayment Charges
• PDC Swapping Charges
Legal and technical charges :

Some HFIs charge you for the legal and technical checks undertaken on your documents
and property, by lawyers and the technical team of the HFI.
Stamp duty and registration charges:

If you go in for a registered mortgage, these charges incurred by the HFI are passed onto
you. Sometimes these charges are rather heavy depending on the State laws in the state from
where you purchase your property.
Personal Guarantee form charges:

A piece of paper signed does not have much value unless stamped and validated by the
concerned authority. That power of attorney document that you signed with your spouse

would not be credible unless signed on a Rs.100 stamp paper. Similarly, HFIs currently
charge you a minimum of Rs.100 to get the personal guarantee validated and stamped in the
eyes of the law.
PDC swapping charges:

In case you want to exchange the PDCs you gave the HFIs for EMI repayments because of
a change in bank accounts, a change in EMI amount, etc., the HFis might charge a flat fee
for it.
Repayment capacity
Your repayment capacity is judged according to your income and your income is considered
differently if you are salaried and differently if you are self-employed. Income is used to
calculate the amount of money that you will be able to shell out every month towards your
loan installment using IIR and FOIR norms. FOIR calculation also takes into account the
installments of loans you are currently repaying. The lower between the IIR and FOIR is
chosen as your maximum repayment capacity. This is then compared to the loan amount
that you have requested for and the loan eligibility as per LTV norms and the lowest of
these would be your final loan eligibility.
Salaried Self-employed
Any extra income on your salary slip Any non-recurring income that affects profit
(including overtime, etc.) is subtracted (like sale of asset) is subtracted.
50% of the average variable income over the Any non-recurring expense that adversely
last 6 months is added affects profits and was not capitalized (like
repairs and maintenance) is added

be proved is added. two years is added.
HRA that can be received and is not being
received is added.

50% of the average annual income of the last
two years is added.
Credit Documentation
Would you trust any Tom, Dick or Harry with any matter at all? We all require a certain
assurance from people before we trust them; some sort of guarantee that they are
trustworthy. For HFIs this guarantee rests in the form of tangible documents. Credit
documents are required by all HFIs but vary in kind based on your occupation, employer,
qualifications, experience, etc. Credit documents can be classified as
Income documents:
Money money money...no one can take a chance on the credibility of money matters
because at the end of the day, business is business. Almost everything about your loan is
based on your income and therefore proof regarding the same is required by the HFI to
ensure that no miscommunications occur.
Personal documents:
Previously, tribes and clans had passwords without which you could not enter into the
territory; as proof of who he was, King Solomon had a ring as identification. Throughout
history, proof of identity has been important as mistaken identity has never been
uncommon. To prevent any such shams, HFIs also require a set of documents, for a general
Home Loan Product, identifying who you are.
He following list out all the documents needed. {under this line will be placed the document
sent separately as an excel sheet}
Legal Documentation
We might be living in the electronic age but that doesn't take away the importance and
monopoly of paper as everything to do with law will always be on paper. To stick by this
unwritten rule, there are legal documents that need to be submitted by you to the HFI for
mortgaging and these differ from state to state and also depend on your property type. The

following form a broad outline of the documents required and a detailed list can be found
here.
• Copy of the offer letter sent by the HFI, accepted by you.
• Title documents of the property which include

-Duly registered sale agreement.
-Receipts of your own contribution.
-Allotment letter
-Registration receipt
-If needed, land documents indicating ownership.
-Possession letter
-Lease agreement, if the property is bought from a development authority
-Mortgage deed if the HFI opts for a registered mortgage.
• No Objection Certificate from the developer, society or development authority
• Personal Guarantees, if required.
• Documents for alternate or additional security.
• Post dated cheques for the EMIs.
These documents do NOT cover the entire list needed and if it is a resale property, the
pertaining agreements, etc. will also need to be attached.
Tax Benefits
Tax benefits are currently available only under Home Loans and Home Extension loans.
The details are given under the respective sections.
Property Insurance
Some events are not in our hands and are completely unavoidable. Floods, drought and
storms uproot trees and destroy the land. Along with this the birds lose their homes and

while building a nest may not be that bad and the loss is not that great, the money that you
invest in your cosy home might just be washed away. For this reason insuring your property
is a good idea as you safeguard the asset against damage or loss.. Property insurance is not
compulsory though some HFIs insist on a mortgage redemption life insurance policy and
you will therefore get a reduced interest rate. Some of the points that need to be noted
regarding property insurance are:
• You can choose the tenure of your insurance.
• The premium is charged up front
• The longer your tenure, the greater the discounts insurance companies offer you.

operate in the broking industry. We recognize that technology is an important tool for
broking operations.
We believe that online trading will gain market share due to significant advantages that it
offers
• It enables the customer to trade directly without any agent intervention

SWOT Analysis:
Strengths
• Integrated technology platform

• “One Stop” shop
• Pan - India distribution network
• “India Infoline.com” and “5paisa.com” have developed into brands
Weaknesses
• Lack of a banking arm to complete the bank-broker-depository chain
• Insignificant presence in institutional Segment
Opportunities
• Changing demographics with higher disposable income and increasingly complex financial
instruments will drive demand for investment advisory services
• Rapid penetration of Internet and computers means that technology enabled financial
services will gain market share
Threats
• Economic slowdown
• Volatile movement in indices events like May 17, 2004
• Stock markets falls will have a cascading effect on our mutual fund mobilization
• Increase/decrease in interest rate can affect our debt/ income fund mobilizations
• Future changes in personal taxation rules can impact insurance sales
• Increasing competition from large and particularly foreign players
PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL

Competitive Force: - Michael Porter has identified five forces that determine the intrinsic
long-run profit attractiveness of a market or market segment.
• Industry competitors
• Potential entrants.

• Substitutes.
• Buyers.
• Suppliers
Intensity of Competition:
Move towards consolidation
Lot of brokerage companies are moving towards consolidation with the smaller ones
becoming either franchisees for the larger brokers or closing operations.
Increased Focus of Banks in Retail Broking:

Various foreign banks like ABN Amro and others are planning to enter the Indian retail
brokerage industry.
Online Trading Competes with Traditional Brokerage:

There is an increasing demand for online trading due to consumer’s growing preference for
internet as compared to approaching the brokers.
Threat of New Entrants

Entry of Foreign Players
New forms of trading including T+2 settlement system, dematerialization etc are
strengthening the retail brokerage market and attracting foreign companies to enter the Indian
industry.Threat of Substitutes
Alternative Investment Options

Various alternative forms of investment including fixed deposits with banks and post offices
etc act as substitutes to retail broking products and services.
Buyer Power
Lack of Expertise Curtails Bargaining Power
Retail investors often lacks the knowledge and expertise in the financial sector that calls them
to approach the broking houses.

Low Product Differentiation Proves Beneficial:
The retail broking services provided by the various companies are homogeneous with very
low product differentiation. This allows customers to enjoy a greater bargaining power.
Supplier Power
Increased Dependence on IPOs

There is a growing dependence of corporate on broking houses with the rising number of
IPO’s coming to the market.

indiabulls has the hight sales turnover, as compare to other its very high, other stand no ware
infront of him, but still indiainfoline manages second position.

The profit is the main aim of each and every organsation. In other factore indiabulls is ahead
of all and indiainfoline but here indiainfoline beats all others including indiabulls.
Indiainfoline’s profit is just ahead of indiabulls.
There are two vacent place which indicates no profit, but it is not like that, here it means loss

FINDINGS
➢ Brokerage of India infoline is higher than Others broking firms like Religare,Motilal
Oswal,Indiabulls,they are charging 0 .03% for Intraday and 0 .30% for Delivery
where India Infoline is taking 0 .05% for Intraday and 0 .50% for Delivery.

➢ Margin money of India infoline is higher than other firm like Indiabulls,Geojit,Motilal
Oswal,there is no restriction of margin moneye.But in India Infoline,the minimum
margin money should be 5000/2555 rs..
➢ Exposure is less than other firms. India Infoline offers eight times exposure on margin
where as Religare and Indiabulls offer twenty times exposure on margin money.
➢ HDFC, ICICI direct provide their customer’s three types of account (de-mat a/c,
trading a/c, bank a/c) but India infoline provide only De-mat a/c and Trading a/c.
➢ Religare takes Rs.299 for lifetime services, where as India infoline takes Rs.555.
➢ Relationship manager changes many times, it creates problem for the offline customers
.
➢ Securities are not so much reliable.
➢ India Infoline has hidden charges, Customer are not much aware about that.
➢ Customer satisfaction of India infoline not so good.
➢ Most of the customers are trading offline.
➢ Most of the customers approach towards the broking firm is through the relationship
manager.
➢ Most of the people are not much aware of share market and its benefit.
Recommendation

➢ To increase awareness about Share Market and the name India Infoline itself, the
company should organize campaign. The campaign can be weakly, monthly, yearly, it
will give a good result to the company to capture market in the competitive position.
➢ The company should reduce the margin money. It can help to acquire more
customers, if the firms bring plans for no boundation of margin money.
➢ The Company should increase their focus on the less margin money customers also .It
can help to make more customers of low margin money which can increase the
revenue of the firm. The Relationship managers focus only to the high margin money
customer because from them they will get high brokerage that should not be happened
from the less margin money customer.
➢ Transaction error should be avoided .Transaction should be done properly, taking in

consideration that it is one of the most required quality of a firm. Wrong transaction
or default transaction may lead the prestige of the company to be down.
➢ Brokerage rate should be reduced. Religare,Motilal Oswal,Indiabulls, are charging as

0 .03% for Intraday and 0 .30% for Delivery where as India Infoline is charging 0 .
05% for Intraday and 0 .50% for Delivery.Though it is negotiable but for high margin
money customer not for less margin money customer.
➢ The Company should increase Exposure. It is the good tool to capture the market.

CONCLUSION
I am much thankful to india infoline for providing me the opportunity for doing training
programme in the organization as management trainee. While doing my sip in the reputed
broking firm India infoline I had got a chance for knowing and analyzing the share market. I
was also able to know about the business environment and business ethics of the business
world. I also came to know about what does a firm or an organization require or wants from a
employee or a trainee. From the survey, I found that India infoline is in the top three position
in the share market.
