    Preface

    Beginning of the system project is entirely creative. This does not come all of a sudden, but

    it comes by result of discussion, consultation and contemplation. Problem unsolved herecan never be satisfactory eliminated later. It is therefore a slow process.

    Moreover practical training is an important part of management courses. The

    theoretical studies are not sufficient to get into the corporate world. Only practical

    knowledge can help us to understand the complexities of large scale organizations.

    To develop healthy managerial and administration skill in potential managers, it is

    necessary that theoretical knowledge must be supplemented with exposure to the real

    environment. Actually, it is life for, a management itself is realized.

    In my case I confronted myself to Anand Rathi Group. And the exposure that I could not

    gained from the books. I found it very interesting and challenging. I did my training at

    BIKANER branch office and my topic of project is "Perception and Behavior of

    Investor on Capital Market with special reference to Anand Rathi Shares and Stock

    Brokers limited.

    In economics, typically, the term marketmeans the aggregate of possible buyers and sellers

    of a thing and the transactions between them.

    The term "market" is sometimes used for what are more strictly exchanges, organizationsthat facilitate the trade in financial securities, e.g., a stock exchange or commodityexchange. This may be a physical location (like the NYSE) or an electronic system (likeNASDAQ). Much trading of stocks takes place on an exchange; still, corporate actions(merger, spin-off) are outside an exchange, while any two companies or people, forwhatever reason, may agree to sell stock from the one to the other without using anexchange.

    Trading of currencies and bonds is largely on a bilateral basis, although some bonds tradeon a stock exchange, and people are building electronic systems for these as well, similar to

    stock exchanges.Financial markets can be domestic or they can be international.

    Types of financial markets

    The financial markets can be divided into different subtypes:

    Capital markets which consist of:

    Stock markets, which provide financing through the issuance of shares orcommon stock, and enable the subsequent trading thereof.

    Bond markets, which provide financing through the issuance of bonds, and

    enable the subsequent trading thereof. Commodity markets, which facilitate the trading of commodities.

    Money markets, which provide short term debt financing and investment.

    Derivatives markets, which provide instruments for the management of financialrisk.

    10

    11/100

    Futures markets, which provide standardized forward contracts for trading productsat some future date; see also forward market.

    Insurance markets, which facilitate the redistribution of various risks.

    Foreign exchange markets, which facilitate the trading of foreign exchange.

    The capital markets consist of primary markets and secondary markets. Newly formed(issued) securities are bought or sold in primary markets. Secondary markets allowinvestors to sell securities that they hold or buy existing securities

    Capital market

    A capital market is a market forsecurities (debt orequity), where business enterprises(companies) and governments can raise long-term funds. It is defined as a market in whichmoney is provided for periods longer than a year[1], as the raising of short-term funds takesplace on other markets (e.g., the money market). The capital market includes the stockmarket (equity securities) and the bond market (debt). Financial regulators, such as the

    UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC), oversee the capital markets in their designated jurisdictions to ensure that investorsare protected against fraud, among other duties.

    Capital markets may be classified as primary markets and secondary markets. In primarymarkets, new stock or bond issues are sold to investors via a mechanism known asunderwriting. In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought amonginvestors or traders, usually on a securities exchange,over-the-counter, or elsewhere

    Primary market

    The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issue of newsecurities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding throughthe sale of a new stock orbond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate ofsecurities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. Inthe case of a new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn acommission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in theprospectus. Primary markets create long term instruments through which corporate entitiesborrow from capital market.

    Features of primary markets are:

    This is the market for new long term equity capital. The primary market is themarket where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called the

    new issue market (NIM).

    In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors.

    The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to theinvestors.

    Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business orfor expanding or modernizing the existing business.

    The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formationin the economy.

    The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long termexternal finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the newissue market may be raising capital for converting private capital into public

    capital; this is known as "going public."

    The financial assets sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.

    Methods of issuing securities in the primary market are:

    Initial public offering;

    Rights issue (for existing companies);

    Preferential issue.

    Secondary market:-

    The secondary market, also known as the aftermarket, is the financial marketwhere previously issued securities andfinancial instruments such as stock, bonds,options, and futures are bought and sold.[1]. The term "secondary market" is alsoused to refer to the market for any used goods or assets, or an alternative use for anexisting product or asset where the customer base is the second market (forexample, corn has been traditionally used primarily for food production andfeedstock, but a "second" or "third" market has developed for use in ethanolproduction). Another commonly referred to usage of secondary market term is torefer to loans which are sold by a mortgage bankto investors such as Fannie Mae

    and Freddie Mac. With primary issuances of securities or financial instruments, or the primary

    market, investors purchase these securities directly from issuers such ascorporations issuing shares in an IPO orprivate placement, or directly from thefederal government in the case oftreasuries. After the initial issuance, investors canpurchase from other investors in the secondary market.

    The secondary market for a variety of assets can vary from loans to stocks, fromfragmented to centralized, and from illiquid to very liquid. The major stockexchanges are the most visible example of liquid secondary markets - in this case,for stocks of publicly traded companies. Exchanges such as the New York Stock

    Exchange,Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange provide a centralized, liquidsecondary market for the investors who own stocks that trade on those exchanges.Most bonds and structured products trade over the counter, or by phoning thebond desk of ones broker-dealer. Loans sometimes trade online using a LoanExchange.

    OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY

    The only stock exchanges operating in the 19th century were those of Bombay set up in

    1875 and Ahemadabad set up in 1894. These were organized as voluntary non-profit

    making organization of brokers to regulate and protect their interests. Before the control on

    securities trading became a central subject under the constitution in 1950, it was a state

    subject and the Bombay securities contract (CONTROL) Act of 1952 used to regulate

    trading in securities. Under this Act, the Bombay stock exchanges in 1927 and

    Ahemadabad in 1937.

    During the war boom, a number of stock exchanges were organized in Bombay,

    Ahemadabad and other centers, but they were not recognized. Soon after it became a

    central subject, central legislation was proposed and a committee headed by A.D. Gorwala

    went into the bill for securities regulation. On the basis of committees recommendations

    and public discussions the securities contracts (regulations) Act became law in 1956.

    internet of its members. It can operate only if it is recognized by the Govt. under the

    securities contract (regulation) Act, 1956 the recognition is granted under section 3 of Act

    by the Central Govt. ministry of finance.

    14/100

    To understand the use and functioning of the index derivatives markets, it is necessary to

    understand the underlying index. A stock index represents the change in value of a set of

    stocks, which constitute the index. A market index is very important for the market players

    as it acts as a barometer for market behavior and as an underlying in derivative instruments

    such as index futures.

    BYELAWS

    Beside the above act, the securities contract (regulation) rules were also made in 1975 to

    regulate certain matter of trading on Stock Exchange. These are also byelaws of the

    exchanges, which are concerned with following subjects.

    Opening/Closing of the Stock Exchange, timing of trading, regulation of blank transfer,

    regulation of Badla or carryover business, control of statement, and other activities of

    stock exchange, fixation of margins, fixation market price or making price, regulation of

    intraday (jobbing), regulation of broker trading, brokerage charges, trading rules on

    exchanges, attribution and settlement of disputes, settlement and clearing of the trading etc.

    REGULATION OF STOCK EXCHANGE

    The securities contract (regulation) is the basis of the stock exchange in India. No exchange

    can operate legally without the Govt. permission or recognition. Stock exchanges are given

    monopoly in certain areas under section 19 of the above Act to ensure that the control and

    regulation are facilitated. Recognition can be granted to a stock exchange provided certain

    condition are satisfied and the necessary information is supplied to the government.

    Recognition can also be withdrawn, if necessary. Where there are no stock exchanges, the

    government can license some of the brokers to perform the function of stock exchange in

    its absence.

    Native share and stock broker association, as a voluntary non-profit making association. It

    whether against the companies or its own member brokers. It also strives to educate and

    16

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    17/100

    In order to enable the market participants analysis etc., to track the various ups and downs

    in the Indian stock market, the Exchange has introduced in 1986 an equity stock index

    called BSE-SENSEX that subsequently became the barometer of the moments of the share

    prices in the Indian Stock market. It is a Market capitalization weighted index of 30

    components stocks representing a sample of large, well-established and leading companies.

    The base year of Sensex is 1978-79. The Sensex is widely reported in both domestic and

    international markets through print as well as electronic media.

    Sensex is calculated using a market capitalization weighted method. As per this

    methodology, the level of the index reflects the total market value of all 30-component

    stocks form different industries related to particular base period. The total market value of

    a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of sharesoutstanding. Statisticians call an index of a set of combined variables (such as price and

    number of shares) a composite Index. An Indexed number is used to represent the results

    of this calculation is order to make the value easier to work with the track over a time. It is

    much easier to graph a chart based on Indexed values than one based on actual values

    world over majority of the well-known Indices are constructed using Market capitalization

    weighted method.

    In practice, the daily calculation of SENSEX is done dividing the aggregate market value

    of the 30 companies in the Index Divisor. This keeps the Index comparable over a period of

    time and if the reference point for the entire Index maintenance adjustments. SENSEX is

    widely used to describe the mood in the Indian Stock Markets. Base year average is

    changed as per the formula new base year average = old base year average* (new market

    value/old market value).

    THE SENSEX AND NIFTY

    In India the most popular indices have been the BSE Sensex and S&P CNX Nifty. The

    BSE Sensex has 30 stocks comprising the index which are selected based on market

    capitalization, industry representation, trading frequency etc. It represents 30 large well-

    established and financially sound companies. The Sensex represents a broad spectrum of

    companies in a variety of industries. It represents 14 major industry groups. Then there is a

    BSE national index and BSE 200. However, trading in index futures has only commenced

    on the BSE Sensex.

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    21/100

    While the BSE Sensex was the first stock market index in the country, Nifty was launched

    by the National Stock Exchange in April 1996 taking the base of November 3, 1995. The

    Nifty index consists of shares of 50 companies with each having a market capitalization of

    more than Rs 500 crore.

    FUTURES AND STOCK INDICES

    For understanding of stock index futures a thorough knowledge of the composition of

    indexes is essential. Choosing the right index is important in choosing the right contract for

    speculation or hedging. Since for speculation, the volatility of the index is important

    whereas for hedging the choice of index depends upon the relationship between the stocks

    being hedged and the characteristics of the index.

    Choosing and understanding the right index is important as the movement of stock index

    futures is quite similar to that of the underlying stock index. Volatility of the futures

    indexes is generally greater than spot stock indexes.

    Every time an investor takes a long or short position on a stock; he also has a hidden

    exposure to the Nifty or Sensex. As most often stock values fall in tune with the entire

    market sentiment and rise when the market as a whole is rising.

    Retail investors will find the index derivatives useful due to the high correlation of the

    index with their portfolio/stock and low cost associated with using index futures for

    hedging.

    TRADING MECHANISM

    Earlier trading on stock exchanges in India used to take place through open outcry, without

    use of information technology for immediate matching or recording of trades. This was

    time consuming and inefficient. This imposed limits on trading volumes and efficiency. In

    order to provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency National Stock Exchange introduced

    a nationwide on line fully automated screen based trading system where a member can

    punch in to the computer quantities of securities and the prices at which he likes to transact

    and the transaction is executed as soon as it finds a matching sale or buy order from a

    counter party. Screen based trading electronically matches orders on a price/time priority

    and hence cuts down on time, cost and risk of error, as well as on fraud resulting in

    improved operational efficiency. It enables market participants, irrespective of their

    geographical locations to trade with one another and it provides equal access to everybody.

    NSE has main computer which is connected through Very Small Aperture Terminal(VSAT) installed at its office. The main computer runs on a default tolerant STRATUS

    mainframe computer at the exchange. Brokers have terminals installed at their premises

    which are connected through VSATs. An investor informs a broker to place an order on his

    behalf.

    There are various types of orders that can be placed in equity investment; such orders have

    been listed below: Delivery order: Orders where shares are delivered into the client's demat account

    for settlement and they cannot be sold on the same day of order placement. Oncecan only sell such shares once their delivery has been received.

    Intraday order: Orders where shares are bought and sold on the same trading dayand there is not delivery of shares into the client's demat account for settlement. Forsuch orders, settlement is done on net payment basis where only monetary effectsare given to the client's account.

    Market Order: An order placed at current market price of a share in order to getinstant execution of the order. This order is placed when an investor expects the

    share price to rise sharply and is thus keen on buying it. Such orders may getexecuted at market price when your order is placed but there can be somedifference in the price at which your order was executed as there could be a pricechange while you place your order.

    After Market Order: An order that can be placed to buy or sell a share even whenthe market session is over. Such orders are executed when the next market sessionopens for trading. After Market orders can be placed within a specific time periodwhich varies between different brokers.

    Stop Loss Order: An order that allows you to decide the maximum loss that youare ready to bear in intraday trading. As in intraday trading, you enter and exit the

    position within the same trading session, Stop Loss order is placed to safe guardagainst potential losses that may occur once your order is executed.Suppose you place a buy order at Rs.125 and it gets executed, in order to minimizethe losses if any adverse price movement takes place; you need to place a reversestop loss order. This order will be a sell order with the same quantity of stock thatyou have received as a result of the buy order. Now you need to specify the price atwhich you think you would like to exit the position which can be Rs. 120 and alsothe price at which your order should enter the market which can be Rs.123. Thisprice (Rs.123) is called trigger price. If you think that the price may fall, from thecurrent market price, then you can put this trigger in stop loss order to make surethat it enters the market only after the trigger price has been reached

    DISCUSSION

    CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSION

    INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPT OF SHARE TRADING

    Trading in shares is old phenomena its regulation had been started when securities contract

    act had been formed in 1956. Transfer of resources from those with idle resources to others

    53

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    54/100

    who have a productive need for them is most efficiently achieved through the securities

    market. It provides a channel for reallocation of savings to investments.

    EQUITY MARKET AND DERIVATIVE MARKET

    What is equity?

    Financing a company through the sale of stock in a company is known as equity financing.

    Alternatively, debt financing (for example issuing Bonds) can be done to avoid giving up

    shares of ownership of the company. Unofficial financing known as trade financing usually

    provides the major part of a company's working capital (day-to-day operational needs).

    Trade financing is provided by vendors and suppliers who sell their products to the

    company at short-term, unsecured credit terms, usually 30 days. Equity and debt financing

    are usually used for longer-term investment projects such as investments in a new factory

    or a new foreign market. Customer provided financing exists when a customer pays for

    services before they are delivered, e.g. subscriptions and insurance.

    EQUITY MARKET

    Public equity markets are those where corporate raise resources through IPOs by getting

    listed in the stock exchanges. Public equity markets are subjected to a wide range of

    54

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    55/100

    governance, disclosure, transparency and compliance norms set by the securities exchanges

    commissions/government agencies and also the self-regulatory functions set by the

    exchanges themselves. Institutional and retail investors mostly use this channel.

    The distinct advantages of the public equity capital are:

    a. Lower cost of capital for the firm

    b. Provide liquidity for current stockholders

    c. Shift monitoring costs for private lenders

    d. Firm can learn from information contained in the stock price movements.

    However, public equity capital has some costs too. These include

    a. Disclosure of proprietary information

    b. Agency costs of outside equity

    c. Costs of reporting/filing with regulators/exchanges

    d. Costs of corporate control

    e. Under-pricing

    A few features generally observed in the respect of the IPO markets include:

    Typically, IPO prices are below the level that they reach on the market a few days

    or weeks later, when more public information is available (under pricing). However

    the extent of under-pricing will narrow with several companies coming up for

    listing.

    55

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    56/100

    Each IPO generates beneficial information externalities for other companies that are

    about to go public.

    Privatized companies tend to list in public equity markets that offering better legal

    protection of shareholders.

    The decisions to go public are affected by firms ownership structure. When

    company has only one owner or when banks holds majority shares, companies are

    less likely to prefer public equity.

    UNDERSTANDING INDEX FUTURES

    A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain

    time in the future at a certain price. Index futures are all futures contracts where the

    underlying is the stock index (Nifty or Sensex) and helps a trader to take a view on the

    market as a whole.

    Index futures permits speculation and if a trader anticipates a major rally in the market he

    can simply buy a futures contract and hope for a price rise on the futures contract when the

    rally occurs. We shall learn in subsequent lessons how one can leverage ones position by

    taking position in the futures market.

    In India we have index futures contracts based on S&P CNX Nifty and the BSE Sensex and

    near 3 months duration contracts are available at all times. Each contract expires on the last

    Thursday of the expiry month and simultaneously a new contract is introduced for trading

    after expiry of a contract.

    EXAMPLE:

    Futures contracts in Nifty in July 2007

    August 2007 August 25

    September 2007 September 28

    October 2007 October 26

    The permitted lot size is 100 or multiples thereof for the Nifty. That is you buy one Nifty

    contract the total deal value will be 100*3000 (Nifty value)= Rs 3,00,000.

    In the case of BSE Sensex the market lot is 50. That is you buy one Sensex futures the total

    value will be 50*4000 (Sensex value)= Rs 2,00,000.

    The index futures symbols are represented as follows:

    OPTIONS

    Stock markets by their very nature are fickle. While fortunes can be made in a jiffy more

    often than not the scenario is the reverse. Investing in stocks has two sides to it a)

    57

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    58/100

    Unlimited profit potential from any upside (remember Infosys, HFCL etc) or b) a downside

    which could make you a pauper.

    Derivative products are structured precisely for this reason -- to curtail the risk exposure of

    an investor. Index futures and stock options are instruments that enable you to hedge your

    portfolio or open positions in the market. Option contracts allow you to run your profits

    while restricting your downside risk.

    Apart from risk containment, options can be used for speculation and investors can create a

    wide range of potential profit scenarios.

    We have seen in the Derivatives School how index futures can be used to protect oneself

    from volatility or market risk. Here we will try and understand some basic concepts of

    options.

    What are options?

    An option is a contract, which gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell

    shares of the underlying security at a specific price on or before a specific date.

    Option, as the word suggests, is a choice given to the investor to either honour the

    contract; or if he chooses not to walk away from the contract.

    To begin, there are two kinds of options: Call Options and Put Options.

    A Call Option is an option to buy a stock at a specific price on or before a certain date. In

    this way, Call options are like security deposits. If, for example, you wanted to rent a

    certain property, and left a security deposit for it, the money would be used to insure that

    you could, in fact, rent that property at the price agreed upon when you returned. If you

    never returned, you would give up your security deposit, but you would have no other

    liability. Call options usually increase in value as the value of the underlying instrument

    rises.

    58

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    59/100

    When you buy a Call option, the price you pay for it, called the option premium, secures

    your right to buy that certain stock at a specified price called the strike price. If you decide

    not to use the option to buy the stock, and you are not obligated to, your only cost is the

    option premium.

    Put Options are options to sell a stock at a specific price on or before a certain date. In this

    way, Put options are like insurance policies

    If you buy a new car, and then buy auto insurance on the car, you pay a premium and are,

    hence, protected if the asset is damaged in an accident. If this happens, you can use your

    policy to regain the insured value of the car. In this way, the put option gains in value as

    the value of the underlying instrument decreases. If all goes well and the insurance is not

    needed, the insurance company keeps your premium in return for taking on the risk.

    With a Put Option, you can "insure" a stock by fixing a selling price. If something happens

    which causes the stock price to fall, and thus, "damages" your asset, you can exercise your

    option and sell it at its "insured" price level. If the price of your stock goes up, and there is

    no "damage," then you do not need to use the insurance, and, once again, your only cost is

    the premium. This is the primary function of listed options, to allow investors ways to

    manage risk.

    Technically, an option is a contract between two parties. The buyer receives a privilege for

    which he pays a premium. The seller accepts an obligation for which he receives a fee.

    CALL OPTION

    An option is a contract between two parties giving the taker (buyer) the right, but not the

    obligation, to buy or sell a parcel of shares at a predetermined price possibly on, or before a

    59

  • 7/31/2019 Anand Rathi Group

    60/100

    predetermined date. To acquire this right the taker pays a premium to the writer (seller) of

    the contract.

    There are two types of options:

    Call Options

    Put Options

    CALL OPTIONS

    Call options give the taker the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying shares at

    a predetermined price, on or before a predetermined date.

    ILLUSTRATION 1:

    Raj purchases 1 Satyam Computer (SATCOM) AUG 150 Call --Premium 8 This contract

    allows Raj to buy 100 shares of SATCOM at Rs 150 per share at any time between the

    current date and the end of next August. For this privilege, Raj pays a fee of Rs 800 (Rs

    eight a share for 100 shares).

    The buyer of a call has purchased the right to buy and for that he pays a premium.

    Now let us see how one can profit from buying an option. Sam purchases a December call

    option at Rs 40 for a premium of Rs 15. That is he has purchased the right to buy that share

    for Rs 40 in December. If the stock rises above Rs 55 (40+15) he will break even and he

    will start making a profit. Suppose the stock does not rise and instead falls he will choose

    not to exercise the option and forego the premium of Rs 15 and thus limiting
