INDUSTRY PROFILE
Financial instruments are cash, evidence of an ownership interest in
an entity, or a contractual right to receive, or deliver, cash or another
financial instrument.
Financial instruments can be categorized by form depending on
whether they are cash instruments or derivative instruments:
Cash instruments are financial instruments whose value is determined
directly by markets. They can be divided into securities, which are readily
transferable, and other cash instruments such as loans and deposits, where
both borrower and lender have to agree on a transfer.
Derivative instruments are financial instruments which derive their
value from the value and characteristics of one or more underlying assets.
They can be divided into exchange-traded derivatives and over-the-counter
(OTC) derivatives.
Alternatively, financial instruments can be categorized by "asset
class" depending on whether they are equity based (reflecting ownership of
the issuing entity) or debt based (reflecting a loan the investor has made to
the issuing entity). If it is debt, it can be further categorized into short term
(less than one year) or long term.
Foreign Exchange instruments and transactions are neither debt nor
equity based and belong in their own categories.

required of Channel of Agents and Team Leaders. So recruitment of Agents
for OPENING THE DEMAT ACCOUNT was given to me as my second

searching a job, they could join it easily because it was without any fee but a
small interview. But to hire potential Agent who could bring the business for
company was important.

DATA ANALYSIS
&
INTERPRETATION
43
Analysis:
It has been observed that approximately 90% of the correspondents
invest in some or the other financial instrument. Though the percentage of
choice of investment may vary due to different factors such as age,
education, risk etc.
44
Yes
Analysis:
according to survey we can say that 88% of people think investing in
share market is Risky and only 12% of people think
Its safe.
45
Safe
Analysis:
About 60% of people said that they invest between 10%-60% of
their total income in some or other types of financial tools. A major chunk of
people belonging to this segment are young, large disposable income and
have a little knowledge about investment and are willing to take risk.
30
46
Analysis:
When a customer visits any bank the first and foremost thing he looks;
how quickly he is served and how his problem is entertained by the bank
employee that is why in this bar most of customer prefer quick service.
Second thing customer wishes to have proper information regarding their
queries. One thing in this bar also really significant is, factors like, less
formalities of document while opening an account, variety of product do not
make a big impaction customer behavior for opening an account in any bank
if its service is efficient. So service sector like banking preference should be
given to make a prompt and customer friendly service channel. For this
focus must be given to make a prompt and customer-friendly service
channel. For this focus must be given to make well informed and pro-active
employee along with work should be executed technologically rather than
manually.
Proper Information
Working Hour
47
Less Formalities
Analysis:
As it is said a satisfied a customer is the best medium for an
advertisement since in this bar friends and relatives have play a key role in
opening the accounts for others, which implies that securities real customers
are satisfy enough with the facilities available on the products and the
services enjoyed by them .HDFC securities employees more or less has also
been good performer in their respective domain. Friends and relatives has
been a key factor in generating the awareness about securities product as
well as facilities that is made to available on them in the peoples mind
.HDFC Securities employees have also been informed and have the ability to
convert potential customers according to ability.

Analysis:
As this bar is showing at what level people are satisfied with online
trading account, with its unique facility, features and ability to serve all the
needs of customers because by and large it can be said 75% people of this
bar are saying good to trading account, this implies that this product has
been a leading product and is still an attractive product of the HDFC
securities. Reason for this could be different type of facilities associated with
this product, which are rendering true value to the customer and marketing
people are also very much devoted to give the best from this part. Effort
must be given to know why they are people who are still saying average and
poor about saving account and what are factors that are going wrong with
that segment of people.

Analysis:
Rating of any bank depends on its overall performance in the eyes of
the people. This bar is vividly showing that the performance of HDFC Bank
has been good because in such a short span of its existence in this city with
strong competition from major public sector bank like SBI and other private
banks. Reason for this could be, it has occupied a different position in the
people mind with its customer friendly products and to serve them an
efficient and prompt banking system

Analysis:
After looking this bar, it can be said the middle-aged group are the
main customer of the bank as they have occupied almost 75% of this graph.
It means they have more access on the all features, which are really useful
for them. It can be said Saving Account a leading product of Kotak
Mahindra Bank has successful to attract a major Chunk of people as far as
age factor is concerned. But the young and old age group people have been
less attractive on this leading product of Kotak Mahindra Bank, which is fast
area of concern. So collectively it can be said a huge potentiality, is still
available for this product.

SWOT ANALYSIS
52
SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT Analysis is a best way to view the organizations strategic situations.
It helps to form a basis for deciding on the extent to which a change in the
strategy is necessary.
Strengths:
One of the leading Securities firm.
An HDFC security is fully customer centric firms.
Strong research backed advisory service.
Offers a wide range of products and services to its corporate and retail
customers.
Weaknesses:
Limited number of branches.
Average promotional activities.
53
Opportunities:
The signs of Indian economy reviving have created a lot of opportunities
for the company.
Foreign banks, long used to a special dispensation in term of capital
calculations, now have to play by tough new rules in India. The problems
for foreign banks may turn out to be opportunity to private banks in India
and they would stand to be the largest gainers/from restructuring and exit
of foreign banks.
Threats:
Increased competition from foreign banks which have begun to foray into
financial services segment will pose a threat to the companys market
share and hence its bottom lines.
54
their benefits, its future, how much respect they will get, how much
time it will consume, how they can do many jobs at a time, how much
return they will get etc. after that they raise different objections. It is
the stage where most of the recruitment advisors fail. If you will not
satisfy their objections, it is quite clear they are not going to take
interest in you. Successful objection handling is key to our success
and it gives full knowledge to the people.
Lack of proper guidelines: - This is another big cause, which
leads the main problem. This is also related to first one. Due to lack of
proper techniques, recruitment advisor fails to give proper guideline to
the people. At this moment, we just loose the trust. It is well known
that once you will misguide some one it is very difficult to regain their
trust. Same thing happens here and we claim otherwise. Therefore,
there is a need of taking some steps. It has some more sub-causes that
lead it. This is what I will mention later.
Fear of failure: - It is a bigger problem that happens with every
body. It is said that always have a high thinking. In the word of
hnbl. Presedent Mr. A. P. J. Abul Kalam that high thinking
converts into willingness and it converts into the way to achieve
our targets. Those people who have fear of failure it is quite certain
he will be failure. If we talk about insurance, such kind of thinking is
seen much. People always think, this is the toughest work that I
cannot do. However, I think there is nothing easy to do. We should
have a will power to do that. In present scenario, what I have observed
is recruitment advisor it self is not confident. They go to people
57

59
LIMITATIONS
60
LIMITATIONS
During conducting this research work I came across the following
limitations:
1) Though I got much time to complete the project but due to the time
factor there arises some problems to carry out study with almost
precautions.
2) The HDFC securities have taken so many days to provide the
secondary datas.
3) Sometimes the respondents were not available at their places.
4) Some of the respondents refuse to give the important information best
known to them.
5) Doing a survey is very expensive for anybody.
6) I had got to go in sun and rain for data collection.
However, in spite of these limitations all efforts have been putted to make
the report correct, genuine and fulfilling the objectives of the reports.
61
RECOMMENDATIONS
62
RECOMMENDATIONS
HDFC should promote their securities through
advertisements or through other channels. So that everybody
should get aware of this securities firm.
HDFC should advise their customers regularly about their
various investment schemes.
Mobile banking provided by the HDFC is not working
properly, so HDFC should take this into consideration and
try to eradicate such problems.
A HDFC employee doesnt have proper product knowledge
due to which sometimes customer gets confused. So HDFC
should provide product training sessions to their employees.
Time to time HDFC should take their customers feedback,
so that they can assess themselves.
Equal importance should be given to retain the customers as
it given at the time of opening D-mat accounts.
The company needs to create awareness, as people are
unaware about the types of financial instruments available in
the market.
63
CONCLUSIONS
64
Conclusions:
The signs of Indian economy reviving have created a lot of
opportunities for the company.
Foreign banks, long used to a special dispensation in term of capital
calculations, now have to play by tough new rules in India. The problems for
foreign banks may turn out to be opportunity to private banks in India and
they would stand to be the largest gainers/from restructuring and exit of
foreign banks.
People have started investing in Modern Investment
Products but still investment in FDs and Insurance is more.
