KEY BENEFITS OF RELIANCE MONEY
Equity is a share in the ownership of a company. It represents a claim on the companys assets
and earnings. As you acquire more stock, your ownership stake in the company increases. The
terms share, equity and stock mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
Holding a companys stock means that you are one of the many owners (shareholders) of a
company, and, as such, you have a claim (to the extent of your holding) to everything the
company owns. Yes, this means that technically, you own a portion of every piece of furniture;
every trademark; every contract, etc. of the company.
As an owner, you are entitled to your share of the companys earnings as well as any voting
rights attached to the stock.
Another extremely important feature of equity is its limited liability, which means that, as a partowner of the company, you are not personally liable if the company is not able to pay its debts.
In case of other entities such as partnerships, if the partnership goes bankrupt, the partners are
personally liable towards the creditors/lenders and they may have to sell off their personal assets
like their house, car, furniture, etc., to make good the loss. In case of holding equity shares, the
maximum value you can lose is the value of your investment.

Even if a company of which you are a shareholder goes bankrupt, you can never lose your
personal assets.
Reliance Money gives you the access to Over 5000 Schemes of 28 Assets Management
Companies (AMCs) with just one account. Some of them included are.

Portfolio Tracker
Manage your mutual fund portfolio from the Reliance Money account. Benefit from live
valuation and alerts and also track NAVs of any scheme online.
Choice of investment strategies
From just two scheme types (equity scheme and debt scheme) offered when the mutual fund
industry was conceived more than four decades ago, today, mutual funds offer a plethora of
scheme types with different investment strategies.
Life Insurance
Reliance Money Account gives you the advantage of buying policies from 12 different Life
Insurance companies, helping you get unbiased opinion.
General Insurance
Reliance Money Account also extends the product offerings from 10 General Insurance
Companies with exhaustive range of insurance products that covers most risks including Motor,
Health, Property, Marine, Casualty and Liability.

easy as buying something over the counter.

Distribution
Distribution (or place) is one of the four elements of marketing mix. An organization or set of
organizations (go-betweens) involved in the process of making a product or service available for
use or consumption by a consumer or business user.
The other three parts of the marketing mix are product, pricing, and promotion.

The Distribution Channel


Chain of intermediaries, each passing the product down the chain to the next organization, before
it finally reaches the consumer or end-user. This process is known as the 'distribution chain' or
the 'channel.' Each of the elements in these chains will have their own specific needs, which the
producer must take into account, along with those of the all-important end-user.

Channels
A number of alternate 'channels' of distribution may be available

Distributor, who sells to retailers

Retailer (also called dealer or reseller), who sells to end customers

Advertisement typically used for consumption goods

Distribution channels may not be restricted to physical products alone. They may be just as
important for moving a service from producer to consumer in certain sectors, since both direct
and indirect channels may be used. Hotels, for example, may sell their services (typically rooms)
directly or through travel agents, tour operators, airlines, tourist boards, centralized reservation
systems, etc.
There have also been some innovations in the distribution of services. For example, there has
been an increase in franchising and in rental services - the latter offering anything from
televisions through tools. There has also been some evidence of service integration, with services
linking together, particularly in the travel and tourism sectors. For example, links now exist
between airlines, hotels and car rental services. In addition, there has been a significant increase
in retail outlets for the service sector. Outlets such as estate agencies and building society offices
are crowding out traditional grocers from major shopping areas.

Management tools
Today the main challenge businesses face is the difficulty in improving business efficiency and
employee productivity. The main factor behind this is existence of disparate systems for
managing different business processes leading to data duplication and affecting overall
efficiency.
At times the systems also face handicaps of scalability with business growth, flexibility to adapt
to fast changing business environment / operations and unclear picture of operations. This makes
it difficult for people to collaborate within organization, as well as with customers, partners and
suppliers.

Unreasonably long implementation time ranging between 8 and 18 months, with 60% of
implementations overshooting project time by over 50%

Unwanted functionalities imposed as additional baggage with 70% of the companies use
only 26% of their ERP functionalities

Rigid model that forces changes in business models with changes in market conditions
and makes exit a complex process

Maintenance: Tedious job of deployment for each new product version
