ABSTRACT
This project has been a great learning experience for me and at the same time it gave me enough
scope to implement my analytical ability. The project in Globe is to figure out the potential
brokerage plans, which can undertake the various products and services offered by the Globe.
With the advent of the internet, investors can now enter orders directly online, or even trade with
other investors via ECN's (electronic communication networks). So, most of the brokerage
houses have started providing the facility of online trading to the customers. Today even the
banks with the view of expansion and large number of customers has started providing the online
trading terminal to the customers.
As the competition from big players of online trading like Share khan, Kotak Mahindra, ICICI
Direct etc is rising Globe intends to built up a loyal customer base , the project is a step towards
the same. In this era of competition it's becoming difficult for the organizations to acquire and
retain the customers. Hence, for Globe it is of utmost importance to have satisfied existing
customers as well as to attract the other customers.
With the help of this project Globe Securities Ltd could tap the Customers potential in
investment and which would provide them various opportunities of increasing the customer base.
"Customer Relationship and Branch Operations" believes that "They would not remember what
you did but they will always remember what you said".
INTRODUCTION
Globeization has proved to be a boon for the Indian economy. After globeization there has been a
tremendous growth in the Indian economy.
Every sector of the economy has shown an outstanding performance after globeization.
The project was under taken as to study the Indian online trading. Earlier Trading was confined
in limited boundaries but now the scenario has been totally different after the entrance of online
trading. There is a cut throat competition between the broking houses. Now the brokers are more
concerned about their customers to improve their performance. The sector is undergoing
fundamental changes that have diluted its traditional role of protecting small deposits against
capital and income risk and facilitating the conversion of Savings into investment.
Also there have been a drastic increase in the volume of share traded on stock exchange and with
that the online trading has shown Bull Run.

have memberships in more than one stock exchange and across equities, equity derivatives and
commodities futures in domestic and International stock exchange.
On the back of growing equity culture broking activity is spreading in Tier lI and Tier III
cities in India.
Deepening financial system and economic growth has provided growth and expansion
opportunities to broking firms. Access to public equity markets and growing international
investor's interest has enabled them to raise resources.
Although there are more than 9000 brokers registered with SEBI 80% of the turnover in
NSE and BSE is accounted by about 100 brokers.

One of the oldest trading industries that have been around even before the establishment of BSE
is the Indian Broking Industry. Post liberalization there have been number of changes, despite
this the stock broking industry was at its pace and retained its sustainable growth.
To study the trend in the stock broking industry, if we take the database of over 394 broking
firms. All the data for the study was collected through responses received directly from the
broking firms. The insights have been arrived at through an analysis on various parameters,
pertinent to the equity broking industry, such as region, terminal, market, branches, sub brokers,
products and growth areas.
Some key characteristics of the sample 394 firms are:
On the basis of geographical concentration, the West region has the maximum
representation of 52%. Around 24% firms are located in the North, 13% in the South and
10% in the East.
3% firms started broking operations before 1950, 65% between 19501995 and 32% post
1995.
On the basis of terminals, 40% are located at Mumbai, 12% in Delhi, 8% in Ahmadabad,
7% in Kolkata, 4% in Chennai and 29% are from other cities.
40 In the cash market, around 34% firms trade at NSE, 14% at BSE and 52% trade at
both exchanges. In the derivative segment, 48% trade at NSE, 7% at BSE and 45% at
both, whereas in the debt market, 31% trade at NSE, 26% at BSE and 43% at both
exchanges.
SENSEX
SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globely accepted construction and
review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks
representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base year of SENSEX
is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in both domestic and
international markets through print as well as electronic media.The index is calculated on the
"Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology. The "Free-float Market Capitalization"
methodology of index construction is regarded as an industry best practice globely. All major
index providers like NIKKEI, NASDAQ and DOW JONES use the free float methodology.
The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from
early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms, of various bull and bear
runs. The SENSEX captured all these events in the most judicial manner. One can identify the
booms and busts of the Indian stock market through SENSEX.
Nifty been the focal point of investors, as it provides trading the shares as well as index in
futures and options. Before Nifty came into existence trading of index concept was not present it
was introduced by Nifty and is present in it only, till date.
National stock exchange gives the investors different option where an investor can deal the
equities into different market situations like cash market and derivatives. Cash market is simply
the equity market where investors have to pay the security amount which is done in BSE also but
in NSE investors has the choice of dealing in derivatives. Derivatives are the future market
where investors have the option of dealing in the price list of futures for which there a separate
index is present known as NIFTY FUTURE.
In Derivatives there are two choices available for an investor FUTURES AND OPTIONS
FUTURE - In future market shares are deal in lots these lots could be of different numbers like
100, 200, 500 etc. Investors while taking over these lots and coming under the contract takes the
position of the shares by paying the 1/3rd amount of the total holdings. (could be understood by a
formula).
Holdings of investors = (shares lot * price of the lot) / 3.
This formula explains that as investor is interested in taking 2 lots of reliance of 100 shares of
Rs. 900, the investor has to pay:
(2* 100*900) / 3 = 60000/
Which shows the investor is taking the position of Rs. 180000/- in just Rs. 60000/in future
market which the area of attraction of this particular market. These holdings are taken for 1
month, 2 months and three months according to the investor's preference. The beauty of this
contract is that the remaining 2/3rd money of the holdings are paid by the broking house the
investors dealing with. Investor coming into this contract should know that by the time of
contract he is in like of 1 or 2 months investor should clear its position before the last Thursday
of the expiry month.
OPTIONS - Option is a contract where the investor has two options to deal with CALL and
PUT. The concept of call and put is opposite to each other call is the contract where the investors
believe that the market is going to be BULLISH in near future and put option is taken when he
thinks that the market is going to be BEARISH in the future.
In the call option investors is benefited if market drives up in future and input will, be benefited
if it slips down.

The Indian capital market has changed dramatically over the last few years, especially since
1990. Changes have also been taking place in government regulations and technology. The
expectations of the investors are also changing. The only inherent feature of the capital
market, which has not changed is the 'risk' involved in investing in corporate securities.
Managing the risk is emerging as an important function of both large scale and small-scale
investors. Risk management of investing in corporate securities is under active and
extensive discussion among academicians and capital market operators. Surveys and research
analyses have been conducted by institutions and academicians on risk management. The
mutual fund companies in India have conducted specific studies on the 'risk
element' of investing in corporate securities.
Grewal S.S and Navjot Grewall (1984) revealed some basic investment rules and rules
for selling shares. They warned the investors not to buy unlisted shares, as Stock Exchanges
do not permit trading in unlisted shares. Another rule that they specify is not to buy inactive
shares, ie, shares in which transactions take place rarely. The main reason why shares are
inactive is because there are no buyers for them. They are mostly shares of companies, which
are not doing well. A third rule according to them is not to buy shares in closely-held
companies because these shares tend to be less active than those of widely held ones since
they have a fewer number of shareholders They caution not to hold the shares for a long
period, expecting a high price, but to sell whenever one earns a reasonable reward.
Jack Clark Francis (1986) revealed the importance of the rate of return in investments and
reviewed the possibility of default and bankruptcy risk. He opined that in an uncertain
world, investors cannot predict exactly what rate of return an investment will yield.
However he suggested that the investors can formulate a probability distribution of the possible
rates of return. He also opined that an investor who purchases corporate securities must face
the possibility of default and bankruptcy by the issuer. Financial analysts can foresee
bankruptcy. He disclosed some easily observable warnings of a firm's failure, which could be
noticed by the investors to avoid such a risk.
Preethi Singh (1986) disclosed the basic rules for selecting the company to invest in. She
opined that understanding and measuring return m d risk is fundamental to the investment
process. According to her, most investors are 'risk averse'. To have a higher return the
investor has to face greater risks. She concludes that risk is fundamental to the process of
investment. Every investor should have an understanding of the various pitfalls of
investments. The investor should carefully analyse the financial statements with special
reference to solvency, profitability, EPS, and efficiency of the company.
David.L.Scott and William Edward (1990) reviewed the important risks of owning
common stocks and the ways to minimise these risks. They commented that the severity of
financial risk depends on how heavily a business relies on debt. Financial risk is relatively
easy to minimise if an investor sticks to the common stocks of
companies that employ small amounts of debt. They suggested that a relatively easy way to
ensure some degree of liquidity is to restrict investment in stocks having a history of
adequate trading volume. Investors concerned about business risk can
reduce it by selecting common stocks of firms that are diversified in
several unrelated industries.
Lewis Mandells (1992) reviewed the nature of market risk, which according to him is very
much 'globe'. He revealed that certain risks that are so globe that they affect the entire
investment market. Even the stocks and bonds of the well-managed companies face market
risk. He concluded that market risk is influenced by factors that cannot be predicted accurately
like economic conditions, political events, mass psychological factors, etc. Market risk is the
systemic risk that affects all securities simultaneously and it cannot be reduced through
diversification.
Nabhi Kumar Jain (1992) specified certain tips for buying shares for holding and also for
selling shares. He advised the investors to buy shares of a growing company of a growing
industry. Buy shares by diversifying in a number of growth companies operating in a
different but equally fast growing sector of the economy. He suggested selling the shares the
moment company has or almost reached the peak of its growth. Also, sell the shares the
moment you realise you have made a mistake in the initial selection of the shares. The only
option to decide when to buy and sell high priced shares is to identify the individual merit or
demerit of each of the shares in the portfolio and arrive at a decision.
Carter Randal (1992) offered to investors the underlying principles of winning on the
stock market. He emphasised on long- term vision and a plan to reach the goals. He advised the
investors that to be successful, they should never be pessimists. He revealed that though
there has been a major economic crisis almost every year, it remains true that patient
investors have consistently made money in the equities market. He concluded that investing in
the stock market should be an un-emotional endeavour and suggested that investors
should own a stock if they believe it would perform well. L.C.Gupta8 (1992) revealed the
findings of his study that there is existence of wild speculation in the Indian stock market.
The over speculative character of the Indian stock market is reflected in extremely high
concentration of the market activity in a handful of shares to the neglect of the remaining
shares and absolutely high trading velocities of the speculative counters. He opined that,
short- term speculation, if excessive, could lead to "artificial price". An artificial price is one
which is not justified by prospective earnings, dividends, financial strength and assets or
which is brought about by speculators through rumours,manipulations, etc. He concluded
that such artificial prices are bound to crash sometime or other as history has repeated and
proved.
Yasaswy N.J. (1993) disclosed how 'turnaround stocks' offer big profits to bold investors and
also the risks involved in investing in such stocks. Turnaround stocks are stocks with
extraordinary potential and are relatively under priced at a given point of time. He also revealed
that when the economy is in recession and the fundamentals are weak, the stock market, being a
barometer of the economy, also tends to be depressed. A depressed stock market is an
ideal hunting ground for 'bargain hunters', who are aggressive investors. Sooner or later
recovery takes place which may take a very long time. He concluded that the investors' watch
work is 'caution' as he may lose if the turnaround strategy does not work out as anticipated.
Sunil Damodar'o (1993) evaluated the 'Derivatives' especially the 'futures' as a tool for shortterm risk control. He opined that derivatives have become an indispensable tool for finance
managers whose prime objective is to manage or reduce the risk inherent in their portfolios.
He disclosed that the over-riding feature of 'financial futures' in risk management is that these
instruments tend to be most valuable when risk control is needed for a short- term, ie, for a
year or less. They tend to be cheapest and easily available for protecting against or
benefiting from short term price. Their low execution costs also make them very suitable for
frequent and short term trading to manage risk, more effectively.
Yasaswy J.N." (1993) evaluated the quantum of risks involved in different types of
stocks. Defensive stocks are low risk stocks and hence the returns are relatively low but
steady. Cyclical stocks involve higher risks and hence the rewards are higher when
compared to the growth stocks. Growth stocks belong to the medium risk category and they
offer medium returns which are much better. than defensive stocks, but less than the cyclical
stocks. The market price of growth stocks does fluctuate, sometimes even violently during short
periods of boom and bust. He emphasised the financial and organisational strength of
growth stocks, which recover soon, though they may hit bad patches once in a way.
Donald E Fischer and Ronald J. Jordan (1994) analysed the relation between risk, investor
preferences and investor behaviour. The risk return measures on portfolios are the main
determinants of an investor's attitude towards them. Most investors seek more return for
additional risk assumed. The conservative investor requires large increase in return for
assuming small increases in risk. The more aggressive investor will accept smaller increases
in return for large increases in risk. They concluded that the psychology of the stock
market is based on how investors form judgements about uncertain future events and how
they react to these judgements.
R.Venkataramani.l"l994) disclosed the uses and dangers of derivatives. The derivative
products can lead us to a dangerous position if its full implications are not clearly understood.
Being off- balance shekt in nature, more and more derivative products are traded than the cash
market products and they suffer heavily due to their sensitive nature. He brought to the notice
of the investors the 'Over the counter product' (OTC) which are traded across the counters of a
bank. OTC products (eg. Options and futures) are tailor made for the particular need of a
customer and serve as a perfect hedge. He emphasised the use of futures as an instrument of
hedge, for it is of low cost.
K.Sivakumar. '"1994) disclosed new parameters that will help investors identify the best
company to invest in. He opined that Economic Value Added (EVA) is more powerful than
other conventional tools for investment decision making like EPS and price earning ratio. EVA
looks at how capital raised by the company from all sources has been put to use. Higher the
EVA, higher the returns to the shareholder. A company with a higher EVA is likely to show a
higher increase in the market price of its shares. To be effective in comparing companies, he
suggested that EVA per share (EVAPS) must be calculated. It indicates the super profit per
share that is available to the investor. The higher the EVAPS, the higher is the likely
appreciation in the value in future. He also revealed a startling result of EVA calculation of
companies in which 200 companies show a negative value addition that includes some blue
chip companies in the Indian Stock Market.
Pattabhi Ram.V. (1995) emphasised the need for doing fundamental analysis'and doing
Equity Research (ER) before selecting shares for investment. He opined that the investor should
look for value with a margin of safety in relation to price. The margin of safety is the gap
between price and value. He revealed that the Indian stock market is an inefficient market
because of the absence of good communication network, rampant price rigging, the absence of
free and instantaneous flow of information, professional broking and so on. He concluded that
in such inefficient market, equity research will produce better results as there will be frequent
mismatch between price and value that provides opportunities to the long-term value oriented
investor. He added that in the Indian stock market investment returns would improve only
through quality equity research.
Philippe Jhorion and Sarkis Joseph Khoury (1996) reviewed international factors of risks
and their effect on financial markets. He opined that domestic investment is a subset of the
globe asset allocation decision and that it is impossible to evaluate the risk of domestic
securities without reference to international factors. Investors must be aware of factors
driving stock prices and the interaction between movements in stock prices and exchange
rates. According to them the financial markets have become very much volatile over the
last decade due to the unpredictable speedy changes like oil price shocks, drive towards
economic and monetary unification in Europe, the wide scale conversion of communist
countries to free market policies etc. They ekphasized the need for tightly controlled risk
management measures to guard against the unpredictable behaviour of financial markets.
S.Rajagopal. (1996) commented on risk management in relation to banks. He opined that
good risk management is good banking. A professional approach to Risk Management will
safeguard the interests of the banking institution in the long run. He described risk
identification as an art of combining intuition with formal information. And risk
measurement is the estimation of the size, probability and timing of a potential loss under
various scenarios.
Charles.P.Jonesl (1996) reviewed how to estimate security return and risk. To estimate
returns, the investors must estimate cash flows the securities are likely to provide. Also,
investors must be able to quantify and measure risk using variance or standard deviation.
Variance or standard deviation is the accepted measure of variability for both realised returns
and expected returns. He suggested that the investors should use it as the situation dictates.
He revealed that over the past 12 years, returns in stocks, bonds, etc. have been normal.
Blue chip stocks have returned an average of more than 16% per year. He warned that the
investors who believe that these rates will continue in the future also, will be in
trouble. He also warned the investors not to allow themselves to become victimised by
"investment gurus".
HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis is an assumption about the population. Consider a study relating to the buyers
behavior. A hypothesis is formulated for a situation where the interference is not explicit.
THEIR ARE TWO TYPES OF HYPOTHESIS:
NULL (HO): Null hypothesis is a hypothesis which a researcher tries to disprove. Normally, the
null hypothesis represents the current view/explanation of an aspect of the world that the
researcher wants to challenge.

ANALYSIS:
It can be seen that the companies are charging brokerage according to their own means. So, the
companies are creating biasness between the customers, Even if the customers portfolio is the
same then also the brokerage may vary from the person to person. So Globe has the best feature
of providing less brokerage and according to the customers wants.

ANALYSIS:
It can be seen from the observations that there are customers who are not satisfied by the services
given by the brokerage companies can be converted by providing better services to them.
Sometimes even if the customers have the same or more investment then also, he is getting fewer
services than the other one. So, Globe can convert them by providing better services to them.
FINDINGS
RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of these findings and analysis, It has can be surely said that in stock broking
industry, differentiation can become the key to higher revenues. Better service, straight through
processing (STP), immediate execution, portfolio services, investment advisors and telephone
call centers or branch investment offices are needed to retain customers and to increase the
revenue base. As more number of people will get comfortable with internet/technology, broking
(especially online broking) will have a completely new meaning with more fringes coming into
the picture and more firms will offer umbrella services to their clients. Thus more of strategies
should be undertaken
Providing better plans and schemes than our competitors like Share khan, India bulls, and
ICICI direct are providing in terms of brokerage and subscription.
Formulation of more corporate schemes for employees of organizations falling under
Globe's corporate category. Drafting a website which is both professional and user
friendly Associating Globe with Ranbaxy to make it a power brand. Taking Globe from
the brand recognition stage to brand insistence stage.
Globe should make its brokerage structure more flexible to give a good competition to
the investors
D Some more collaboration with international firms and increasing its outlets not only in
India but also outside the world
D Also, to attract the NRIs so, that to increase its share in the stock exchanges as they
provide the largest shares in terms of the investment.
