THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
Investment is the employment of funds in order to achieve additionincome or growth in value. Investment involves waiting for a reward. It
involves the commitment of resources which have been saved or put away
from current consumption. In the hope that some benefits will accrue in thefuture. Investment has been further categorized by financial expert andeconomist.
FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT
Investment is the allocation of monetary resources to assets thatare expected to yield some gain or positive return over a given period of
time. These assets may range from safe investment.
Economic investment means the net additional to the economiesof the stock which consists of goods and services used in production of other
goods and services. The financial and economic meanings of investments arerelated to each other because an investment is a part of the savings ofindividuals.
MEANING OF EQUITY
Equity is term whose meaning depends very much on thecontext. In general, you can think of equity as ownership in any assets after
all debts associated with that asset are paid off.
Share or equity represents part of an ownership of a business.So as a shareholder you own a piece of the action that happens in that
business. Why would you want a piece of the action? For the rewards ofcourse. As a shareholder you have a right over.
Common stocks, are equity because they represent ownership of
a company where as bonds are classified as debt because they represent anobligation to pay no ownership of assets.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMON STOCK
Two most important characteristics of common stock as aninvestments are its residual claim and limited liability features.
Residual claim means that stockholders are the last in line of
all those who have on the assets and income and income of the corporation.
Limited liability means that the most shareholders can loss inthe events of failure of the corporation is there original investment.
A stock market is a market for the trading of company stock,and derivatives of same; both those securities listed on a stock exchange aswell as those only traded privately.
Although common, the term stock market is a somewhat
abstract concept for the mechanism that trading of company stocks. It isalso used to describe the totality of all stocks, especially within one country,
for example in the phrase the stock market was up today, or in the ternstock market bubble.
It is distinct from a stock exchange. , which is an entity (acorporation or mutual organization) in the business of bringing buyers andsellers of stocks together. For example, the stock markets in the united
states includes the trading of stocks listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX,and also on the OTCBB and pink sheets.
The stock market is one of the most important sources for
companies to raise money. Experience has taught us that the price of sharesand other assets is an important part of the dynamics of economic growth.Rising share prices, for insurance, tend to be associated with increasedbusiness investment and vise verse. Share prices also affect the wealth of
households and their consumption. Therefore, central banks tend to keep anArgus eye on the development of the stock market and reflect on how the
financial system functions. Another reason is the oversight of financialstability.

BRIEF HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGE
THE BRIEF OF STOCK EXCHANGES IN India back to the 1840s.there were 50-60 brokers led by the legendary Premchand, Royachand. Theyformed the back bone of share floatation by the East India Company and a
few commercial banks. In 1875, native share and stock broker association. Avoluntary non-profit association of person it mobilized funds for industrial
growth and government securities, especially of Bombay port trust andBombay Municipality. A similar organization was set up in Ahmadabad in
1894.
As a result of the swadesi movement and the coal boom of 1904-08, Kolkata became another major center of share trading and exchange
was set up in 1908. During inter war years, as the demanded and new oneswere floated. Yet other stock exchange was started in madras in 1920. The
stock exchange in Hydrabad and Delhi started operation in the years 1943and 1947, rasp [actively. At the time of independence, there seven stock
exchanges functioning in major cities of the country].
From the seven stock exchanges in 1946, the country moved toform a total of 19 stock exchanges by 1990. There were 5,698 companieslisted as against 1,125 in 1946. The paid up capital of these companiesmultiplied many fold forms Rs 270 corers in1946 to 27,761 corers in
1990.the market capitalization of listed companies pumped for Rs 971corers in 1946 to 70,521 corers in 1990.
From the nineties, started the current phase under which Indian
stock exchanges are undergoing a rapid transition to be at par with stockexchange in the developed world. Before 1990, the trading system was openoutcry system with scripts classified as non-specified or cash scripts thatwere compulsory settled with delivery at the end of settlement. There were
long and varying periods for specified and non-specified share in the oldcleaning system because of the interaction involved in the physical form the
shares. Present there are 23 recognized stock exchanges with 6000 stockbrokers.
A stock exchange or share market is a corporation or mutualorganization which provides facilities for stock brokers and traders, to tradecompany stocks and other securities. Stock exchanges also provides facilities
-
7/30/2019 Equity Market Project
8/54
for the issues and redemption of securities, as well as. Other financial
instruments and capital events including the payment of income anddividends. The securities traded to a stock exchange include: share issuedby companies, unit trusts and other pooled investment products and bonds.
To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listedthere. Usually there is a central location at least for record keeping, buttrade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are
electronic networks, which gives those advantages of speed and cost oftransactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only. The initial offering
of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary marketand subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. Supply anddemand in stock markets are driven by various factors which, as in all freemarkets, affect the price of stocks (see stock valuation).
There I usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange
itself, not must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such tradingis said to be off exchange or over-the-counter. This is the way that bonds
are traded. Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market forsecurities.
THE ROLE OF STOCK EXCHANGES
Raising capital for businesses: The stock exchange provides
companies with the facility to raise capital for expansion through sellingshares to the investing public.
Mobilizing savings for investment: What people draw their savings and
invest in shares, it leads to a more rational allocation of resources becausefunds, which could have been consumed, or kept in idle deposits with banks,are mobilized and redirected to promote business activity with benefits ofseveral economic sector such as agriculture, commerce and industry,
resulting in a stronger economic growth and higher productivity levels.
Facilitating company growth: Companies view acquisition as anopportunity to expand product lines, increase distribution channels, hedge
against volatility, increase its market share, or acquire other necessarybusiness asset. A takeover bid or a merger agreement through the stockmarket is one of the simplest and most common ways for a company togrow by acquisition or fusion.
Redistribution of wealth: stock exchanges do not exist to redistribute
wealth although casual and professional stock investor through stock priceincrease (that may result in capital gains for the investor) and dividends get
a chance to share in the wealth of profitable business.
Corporate governance: By having a wide and varied scope of owners,companies generally tend to improve on their management standards and
-
7/30/2019 Equity Market Project
9/54
efficiency in order to satisfy the demands of these shareholders and the
more stringent rules for public corporation imposed by public stockexchanges and the government. Consequently, it is alleged that publiccompanies (companies that are owned by shareholders who are members of
the general public and trade shares on public exchanges). Tend to havebetter management records then privately-held companies (those companieswhere shares are not publicly trades, often owned by a small group of
investors). However, some well-documented cases are known where it isalleged that there has been considerable slippage in corporate governance
on the part of some public companies pets.com (2000), Enron Corporation(2001), One Tel (2001), Sunbeam (2001), Web van (2001), Adelphi (2002),MCI World.com (2002) or Parmalat (2003) are among the most scrutinizedby the media).
Creating investment opportunities for small investor: As opposed toother businesses that require huge capital outlay, investing in shares is opento both the large and small stock investors because a person buyers thenumber of shares they can afford. Therefore the stock exchange provides
the opportunity for small investors to own shares of the same companieslarge investors, and to enjoy similar rates of return(s).
Government capital-rising for development projects: Governments at
various levels may decide to borrow money in order to finance infrastructureprojects such as sewage members of the public buy them, thus loaning
money to the government. The insurance of such bounds with the full faithand credit of the government instead of with collateral, the result is that thegovernment must tax the citizens or otherwise raise additional funds tomake any regular coupon payments and refund the principal when the
bounds mature.
Barometer of the economy: At the exchanges, share prices rise and falldepending, largely, on market forces. Share prices tend to rise or remain
stable when companies and the economy in general show signs of stabilityand growth. An economic depression or financial crisis eventually leads to astock market cash. Therefore the movement of share prices and in generalof the stock indexes can be an indicator of the economy.
