Executive Summary
This report analyzes the Indian retail brokerage industry taking into account the health of the
capital markets and the intensity of competition among the brokerage companies. Michael
Porter's Five Forces Analysis has been employed to present a picture to gain an understanding of
the competitive landscape and industry attractiveness. It covers important segments of the
industry and analyses market dynamics.
A differentiating aspect of this report is a comparative assessment of the top brokerages firms on
various value indicators.
The report also includes a comparative product grid of the companies under consideration.
The major growth drivers for brokerage revenue and trading volume are:
Continuous fall in brokerage fees
Adoption of technology screen-based trading, electronic matching, and paperless
securities
Centralized operations, effective risk management, and control on large interconnected
operations spanning multiple locations, which is enabled by telecom connectivity and low
costs
Increasing access to capital and the ability to provide margin finance
Though the Indian brokerage industry has been consolidating steadily over the last 10 years, theshare of the top 10 brokers has risen to only around one-fourth of the total industry revenues. In
this fragmented market, leading players like ICICI Direct, Kotak Securities, Indiabulls,
Sharekhan, and 5 Paisa, apart from many small players, compete on the basis of low brokerage
fees and customer service
Buoyed by the bullish Indian stock market, foreign banks such as Socit Gnrale (SocGen),
BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, and Macquarie Bank (Australia) are eyeing stakes in Indian
retail brokerages.
The major growth drivers of the Indian retail brokerage industry are the increasing appetite for
equities among investors as an asset class, the convenience of online trading, and declining
brokerage fees

OVERVIEW
The Indian retail brokerage industry consists of companies that primarily act as agents for the
buying and selling of securities (e.g. stocks, shares, and similar financial instruments) on a
commission or transaction fee basis.
It has two main interdependent segments: Primary market and the Secondary market.
Evolution of the Indian Brokerage Market
The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that had been around even
before the establishment of the BSE in 1875. Despite passing through a number of changes in the
post liberalization period, the industry has found its way towards sustainable growth. The
evolution of the brokerage market is explained in three phases: pre1990, 1990-2000, post 2000.
Early Years
The equity brokerage industry in India is one of the oldest in the Asia region. India had an activestock market for about 150 years that played a significant role in developing risk markets as alsopromoting enterprise and supporting the growth of industry.
The roots of a stock market in India began in the 1860s during the American Civil War that ledto a sudden surge in the demand for cotton from India resulting in setting up of a number of jointstock companies that issued securities to raise finance. This trend was akin to the rapid growth ofsecurities markets in Europe and the North America in the background of expansion of railroadsand exploration of natural resources and land development.
Bombay, at that time, was a major financial centre having housed 31 banks, 20 insurancecompanies and 62 joint stock companies.
In the aftermath of the crash, banks, on whose building steps share brokers used to gather to seekstock tips and share news, disallowed them to gather there, thus forcing them to find a place oftheir own, which later turned into the Dalal Street. A group of about 300 brokers formed thestock exchange in Jul 1875, which led to the formation of a trust in 1887 known as the NativeShare and Stock Brokers Association.
A unique feature of the stock market development in India was that that it was entirely driven bylocal enterprise, unlike the banks which during the pre-independence period were owned and run
by the British. Following the establishment of the first stock exchange in Mumbai, other stockexchanges came into being in major cities in India, namely Ahmedabad (1894), Calcutta (1908),Madras (1937), Uttar Pradesh and Nagpur (1940) and Hyderabad (1944). The stock marketsgained from surge and boom in several industries such as jute (1870s), tea (1880s and 1890s),coal (1904 and 1908) etc, at different points of time.
Beginning of a new equity culture
-

A new phase in the Indian stock markets began in the 1970s, with the introduction of ForeignExchange Regulation Act (FERA) that led to divestment of foreign equity by the multinationalcompanies, which created a surge in retail investing. The early 1980s witnessed another surge instock markets when major companies such as Reliance accessed equity markets for resourcemobilisation that evinced huge interest from retail investors.
A new set of economic and financial sector reforms that began in the early 1990s gave furtherimpetus to the growth of the stock markets in India. As a part of the reform process, it becameimperative to strengthen the role of the capital markets that could play an important role inefficient mobilisation and allocation of financial resources to the real economy. Towards thisend, several measures were taken to streamline the processes and systems including setting up anefficient market infrastructure to enable Indian finance to grow further and mature. Theimportance of an efficient micro market infrastructure came into focus following the incidence ofmarket abuses in securities and banking markets in 1991 and 2001 that led to extensiveinvestigations by two respective Joint Parliamentary Committees.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which was set up in 1988 as anadministrative arrangement, was given statutory powers with the enactment of the SEBI Act,1992. The broad objectives of the SEBI include
to protect the interests of the investors in securities to promote the development of securities markets and to regulate the securities markets
The scope and functioning of the SEBI has greatly expanded with the rapid growth of securitiesmarkets in India in the last fifteen years.
Following the recommendations of the High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New
Stock Exchanges, the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) was promoted by financialinstitutions with an aim to provide access to investors all over the country. NSE was incorporatedin Nov 1992 as a tax paying company, the first of such stock exchanges in India, since stockexchanges earlier were trusts, being run on no-profit basis. NSE was recognized as a stockexchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act 1956 in Apr 1993. It commencedoperations in wholesale debt segment in Jun 1994 and capital market segment (equities) in Nov1994. The setting up of the National Stock Exchange brought to Indian capital markets severalinnovations and modern practices and procedures such as nationwide trading network, electronictrading, greater transparency in price discovery and process driven operations that had significantbearing on further growth of the stock markets in India.
Faster and efficient securities settlement system is an important ingredient of a successful stockmarket. To speed the securities settlement process, The Depositories Act 1996 was passed thatallowed for dematerialisation (and rematerialisation) of securities in depositories and the transferof securities through electronic book entry. The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL)set up by leading financial institutions, commenced operations in Oct 1996. Regulationsgoverning selection of various types of market intermediaries as depository participations weremade. Subsequently, Central Depository Services (India) Limited promoted by Bombay StockExchange and other financial institutions came into being.

Rapid Growth
The last decade has been exceptionally good for the stock markets in India. In the back of wideranging reforms in regulation and market practice as also the growing participation of foreigninstitutional investment, stock markets in India have showed phenomenal growth in the early
1990s. The stock market capitalization in mid-2007 is nearly the same size as that of the grossdomestic product as compared to about 25 percent of the latter in the early 2000s. Investor basecontinued to grow from domestic and international markets. The value of share trading witnesseda sharp jump too. Foreign institutional investment in Indian stock markets showed continuousrise reaching about USD10 bn in each of these years between FY04 to FY06. Stock marketsbecame intensely technology and process driven, giving little scope for manual intervention thathas been the source of market abuse in the past. Electronic trading, digital certification, straightthrough processing, electronic contract notes, online broking have emerged as major trends intechnology. Risk management became robust reducing the recurrence of payment defaults.Product expansion took place in a speedy manner. Indian equity markets now offer, in additionto trading in equities, opportunities in trading of derivatives in futures and options in index and
stocks. ETFs are showing gradual growth. Within five years of introduction of derivatives,Indian stock markets now are ranked first in stock futures and fourth in index futures. Indianstock markets are transaction intensive and thus rank among the top five markets in this regard.Stock exchange reforms brought in professional management separating conflicts of interestbetween brokers as owners of the exchanges and traders/dealers. The demutualisation andcorporatisation of all stock exchanges is nearing completion and the boards of the stockexchanges now have majority of independent directors. Foreign institutions took stake in Indiastwo leading domestic stock exchanges. While NYSE Group led consortium took stake in theNational Stock Exchange, Deutsche Borse and Singapore Stock Exchange bought equity in theBombay Stock Exchange Ltd.

1. Macro-Economic Scenario
The Indian economy, which witnessed robust growth up to the second quarter of FY09, recorded
sharp deceleration thereafter in the wake of persistent global economic slowdown. India's real
GDP grew 6.7% during Financial Year (FY) 09 as compared with 9% during the corresponding
period of FY08. Though India's growth trajectory has been impacted both by the financial crisis
and the global economic downturn, the structural drivers of the Indian economy continue to be
intact, sustaining overall growth at a level much higher than most other economies in the world.
2. Capital Markets
Index Movement
The BSE Sensex saw an unprecedented swing in Calendar Year (CY) 08 - from 20,873 in
January 2008 to 8,451 in November 2008. The key negatives that drove down Indian markets
were weakness in global financial markets, slowdown in the domestic economy, tight monetary
policy in 1 HFY09, and heavy selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FII). All these factors
contributed to a series of large downgrades in corporate sector earnings. Another highlight of
FY09 has been a 27% depreciation in the Indian rupee v/s the US dollar, which has also had a
negative impact on earnings.
FII & MF Activity in Equity Markets
FY09 was the first fiscal in India's history when FIIs were net sellers in Indian equities;
secondary market FII outflows for the year were Rs. 479 billion. Interestingly, FY08 was the
year of record net FII inflows of Rs. 517 billion. However, mutual funds continued to be net
buyers for the sixth consecutive year. In FY09, mutual funds were net buyers to the tune of Rs.
66 billion, which is a 52% drop from Rs. 137 billion of net buying in FY08.

3. Broking Industry
Equity Market Volumes:
The average daily equity market volumes for FY09 were Rs. 612 billion, down 16% from Rs.
726 billion in FY08. However, during the six years beginning FY03, the year when cash and
derivatives were fully active on both the exchanges, total market volumes have grown by 50%
compounded annually. During this period, volumes in the derivatives and cash segments have
grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 72% and 27%, respectively. The notable
trends in customer segmental volume mix that influence market volumes are as follows:
1. The contribution of retail volumes has declined from 61% in FY08 to 55% FY09; the
retail contribution ratio has been more volatile than the other two market segments.
2. The contribution of institutional volumes, i.e. volumes from FII and domestic
institutional investors (DIIs) such as mutual funds, banks and insurance companies has
remained stable at 15% for FY08 and FY09.
3. The contribution of proprietary volumes, which include arbitrage and other proprietary
volumes of stock brokers, has increased from 24% in FY08 to 30% in FY09.

M&A and Private Equity
The CY 2008 saw a decline in total deal activity in terms of volume and value of deals both in
the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and Private Equity (PE) space. However, the volume and
value of deals for both M&A and PE were higher in CY08 than in CY06. Also, the average deal
size for both M&A and PE was larger in CY08 than in CY06.
The key highlights of the deal activity are as follows:
1. The total value of deals (M&A and PE) announced during CY08 was US$42
billion
2. The average deal size during the year was US$68.17 million for M&A and
US$33.93 million for PE

Stock exchange consolidation
A big wave of stock exchange consolidation is taking place across the global financial markets.
The most notable merger in the recent period is that of the New York Stock Exchange
with Archipelago that led to the demutualization of the former, which subsequentlyacquired Euronext to form, NYSE Group that makes it a formidable force in the NorthAmerica and the Euro region.
Another American exchange NASDAQ after the merger with Instinet, announced plansto acquire OMX, which is Europes leading exchange as also provider of cutting edgetechnology solutions for stock exchanges worldwide. Deutsche Borses recent acquisitionof International Securities Exchange gives the former a powerful position in thederivatives markets in Europe and America.
There was also sizeable consolidation within the domestic securities markets in severalcountries with the merger of equities and derivatives markets in countries such as Korea,Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
In India, the issue of appropriate solutions for the 20 odd stock exchanges that currentlylack proper liquidity is engaging the attention of policy and regulation.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS GOVERNING REGULATION OF STOCK MARKETS
Systematic and streamlined regulation is the key strength and sustainability of the securitiesmarkets. Though formal regulation of the securities markets is about 70 years old, some of therecent developments in the financial markets are reshaping the scope and focus of the regulation.These include -
There is growing harmonisation of regulation across different markets. Organisations
such as International Organisation for Securities Commissions (IOSCO) are playing avery important role in adoption of uniform principles and guidelines across the markets.
The size and scope of the securities markets is rapidly changing from being one or twoproduct markets to multi product markets with diverse features and different investorbase.
Markets have become more democratized with more people and institutions participatingin the market related activities.
Rapid increase in the size of the institutional participation in the financial markets. Forinstance equity markets, which in the past were retail investor driven, are nowincreasingly become institutional induced.
Securities markets are transforming from being membership driven to public corporation
following demutualization and corporatisation of stock exchanges in mature andemerging markets.
Two most important pieces of regulation that came into being in the recent period are inthe form of market structure reforms in the US, known more popularly as regulationNMS, which underlines the promotion of competition across the markets under threemajor principles; best price, open access and transparency. Under the new trade-throughrole, in whichever market a customer placed his order, it should be able to access the best

price that is immediately and automatically available anywhere in the national marketsystem.
The trade-through rule will not allow markets to ignore better priced automated quotesdisplayed by the competitors. Similarly, open access to displayed prices will be a majorfeature governing the competition of the markets. The regulation also stipulates that all
significant markets must display their quotations and trade reports should be available toall interested parties on fair terms and non discriminatory manner. Another equally important development is the Markets in Financial Industry Directive
(MiFiD) that will come into force from 1 Nov, 2007 and stipulates wide ranging normsfor financial institutions in the European Union. Major features of the MiFiD includewider scope of coverage of the financial institutions and the related business activities,greater degree of harmonization across the European markets and facilitate cross borderbusiness and stipulated capital requirements.

PORTERS FIVE FORCES
Porter's five forces analysis is a framework for the industry analysis and business strategy
development developed by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School in 1979. It usesconcepts developed in Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces whichdetermine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market. Attractiveness inthis context refers to the overall industry profitability. An "unattractive" industry is one wherethe combination of forces acts to drive down overall profitability. A very unattractive industrywould be one approaching "pure competition".
Porter referred to these forces as the micro environment, to contrast it with the more general termmacro environment. They consist of those forces close to a company that affect its ability toserve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces normally requires acompany to re-assess the marketplace. The overall industry attractiveness does not imply that
every firm in the industry will return the same profitability. Firms are able to apply their corecompetences, business model or network to achieve a profit above the industry average.

1. The threat of substitute products
The existence of close substitute products increases the propensity of customers to switch toalternatives in response to price increases (high elasticity of demand).
2. The threat of the entry of new competitors
Profitable markets that yield high returns will draw firms. This results in many new entrants,which will effectively decrease profitability. Unless the entry of new firms can be blocked byincumbents, the profit rate will fall towards a competitive level (perfect competition).
3. The intensity of competitive rivalry
For most industries, this is the major determinant of the competitiveness of the industry.Sometimes rivals compete aggressively and sometimes rivals compete in non-price dimensionssuch as innovation, marketing, etc.
4. The bargaining power of customers
Also described as the market of outputs. The ability of customers to put the firm under pressureand it also affects the customer's sensitivity to price changes.
5. The bargaining power of suppliers
Also described as market of inputs. Suppliers of raw materials, components, labor, and services(such as expertise) to the firm can be a source of power over the firm. Suppliers may refuse towork with the firm, or e.g. charge excessively high prices for unique resources.

IPOs coming to the market.
The Intensity Of Competitive Rivalry
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 retailbrokerage industry.
Online Trading Competes with Traditional Brokerage
There is an increasing demand for online trading due to consumers growing preference for
internet as compared to approaching the brokers.
Threat of New Entrants
Entry of Foreign Players

strengthening the retail brokerage market and attracting foreign companies to enter the Indian
industry.
