PREFACE
A good broker system must be able to cope with an extremely complex
and dynamic environment
The microstructure of the stock market in which brokers work is highly dynamic and
volatile. Many stocks are available to be bought and sold, each exhibiting its own patterns
and characteristics that are highly unpredictable.With so many options and considerations
that need to be taken into account, it is an extremely arduous task for a broker to investigate
aspects of the stock market and consistently provide effective advice to their clients. Thus,
brokers perform their day-to-day tasks with the aid of a broker system. Such a system
should provide tools for interacting with exchanges and performing analysis. As a
consequence, these broker systems are quite large and complicated by themselves.
This research aims is to analysis Stock broker on the basis of their services, products,
growth, and their subsidiaries .Because Stockbrokers are one of the main participants in
stock exchanges worldwide, they often act as an agent for their clients, making trades on
their behalf. They also act as advisors, providing suggestions to their clients on what stocks
to buy and sell.

There is growing competition between brokerage firms in post reform India. For investor it
is always difficult to decide which brokerage firm to choose. Research was carried out to
find which brokerage house people prefer and to figure out what people prefer while
investing in stock market. This study suggests that people are reluctant while investing in
stock and commodity market due to lack of knowledge. Main purpose of investment is
returns and liquidity, commodity market is less preferred by investors due to lack of
awareness. The major findings of this study are that people are interested to invest in stock
market but they lack knowledge.
Through this report I am also able to understand, what Companys (Kotak Ltd.) positive
and strong points, on the basis of which we come to know what can be the basis of pitching
to a potential client.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

In most industrialized countries, a substantial part of financial wealth is not managed
directly by savers, but through a financial intermediary, which implies the existence of an
agency contract between the investor(the principal) and a broker or portfolio manager (the
agent ). Therefore, delegated brokerage management is arguably one of the most important
agency relationships intervening in the economy, with a possible impact on financial
market and economic developments at a macro level. In most of the metros, people like to
put their money in stock options instead of dumping it in the bank-lockers. Now, this trend
pick pace in small but fast developing cities like Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Jaipur etc. My
research is based on the residents of Jalandhar and its nearby areas. As the per-capita-
income of the city is on the higher side, so it is quite obvious that they want to invest their
money in profitable ventures. On the other hand, a number of brokerage houses make surethe hassle free investment in stocks. Asset management firms allow investors to estimate
both the expected risks and returns, as measured statistically.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF STOCK EXANGE OF INDIA
7

8/53
The emergence of stock market can be traced back to1830. In Bombay, business passed in
the shares of banks like the commercial bank, the chartered mercantile bank, the chartered
bank, the oriental bank and the old bank of Bombay and shares of cotton presses. In
Calcutta, Englishman reported the quotations of 4%, 5%, and 6%loans of East India
Company as well as the shares of the bank of Bengal in 1836. This list was a further
broadened in 1839 when the Calcutta newspaper printed the quotations of banks like union
bank and Agra bank. It also quoted the prices of business ventures like the Bengal bonded
warehouse, the Docking Company and the storm tug company.
Between 1840 and 1850,only half a dozen brokers existed for the limited business. Butduring the share mania of 1860-65, the number of brokers increased considerably. By 1860,
the number of brokers was about 60 and during the exciting period of the American Civil
war, their number increased to about 200 to 250. The end of American Civil war brought
disillusionment and many failures and the brokers decreased in number and prosperity. It
was in those troublesome times between1868 and 1875 that brokers organized an informal
association and finally as recited in the Indenture constituting the Articles of Association
of the Exchange. On or about 9th day of July,1875, a few native brokers doing brokerage
business in shares and stocks resolved upon forming in Bombay an association for
protecting the character, status and interest of native share and stockbrokers and providing
a hall or building for the use of the members of such association.
As a meeting held in the broker Hall on the 5th day of February, 1887, it was resolved to
execute a formal deal of association and to constitute the first managing committee and to
appoint the first trustees. Accordingly, the Articles of Association of the Exchange and the
8

Stock Exchange was formally established in Bombay on 3rd day of December, 1887. The
Association is now known as The Stock Exchange
.
The entrance fee for new member was Re.1 and there were 318 members on the list, when
the exchange was constituted. The numbers of members increased to 333 in1896, 362 in
1916 and 478 in 1920 and the entrance fee was raised to Rs.5 in 1877, Rs.1000 in 1896,
Rs.2500 in 1916 and Rs.48,000 in 1920. At present there are 23 recognized stock
exchanges with about 6000 stock brokers.
.
Organization structure of stock exchange varies.14 stock exchanges are organized as public
limited companies, 6 as companies limited by guarantee and 3 are non-profit voluntary
organization. Of the total of 23, only 9 stock exchanges have been permanent recognition.
Others have to seek recognition on annual basis.

20/53
According to SEBI,Professional Rating of market intermediaries, as a concept, is a matter
of debate and discussions. The need for rating is felt not only from the point of view of
greater disclosure requirements for investors interests, considering the important role such
intermediaries play, being an interface between investors and exchanges but also from the
point of view of measuring the adequacy of systems and controls to meet internal as well as
external compliance requirements.
So that need for Intermediaries Rating services (Brokers), In view of the developments that
are taking place in the capital markets, the need to constantly upgrade and improve systems
and procedures in operation as well as skill sets has gained considerable importance.
Besides compliance with regulatory requirements both in letter and spirit has assumed
significance so as to mitigate risk and ensure adequate protection of investors interest.
And Rating objectives / benefits are rated entity would be in a position to brand its image
and capitalize the same for generating more business. In a nutshell, the product may accrue
significant benefits to all stakeholders including the investors, stock brokers themselves,
the regulator and others who will benefit from the transparency and the consequential focus
on efficiency.
According to SEBI and Intermediaries Regulation and Supervision Department, different
factors are consider for rating process Organization structure, Policy on Investors interest,
Risk Management Policy and System, Organization process and procedures, Management
policy on compliance, Financials, History/Background, Firms positioning.
According to Michal Parness, Founder & CEO
Investors dont Make Money in the Stock Market. One reason the institutions make
so much money is that they are trading. They make money every time you buy or sell.
They make money whether you win or lose. That means that when youre investing,
youre basically just sitting there. Youre not going anywhere. Youre not making
money as an investor.

If you dont know this already, Trend Trading means trading trends based on human
emotions. Not lagging indicators. Not complex statistical analysis and not Ph.D. level
mathematical equations. With trend trading, you look for market movement. That could
mean stocks that are going to move up or down during the course of a day (intraday).
Youll play the gaps up and down, often several days a week.
The Trend trading means being aware and taking advantage of trends like the run-ups
that happen around earning sessions. These are trends that have worked time and time
again in the market. They consistently yield results.

6.2 SUGGESTIONS
Improvement in the opening of De-mat & contract notice procedure is required.
There should be a limited number of clients under the relationship manger(Mapping). So that he can handle new as well as old customer properly.
Some promotional activities are required for the awareness of the customer.
People at young age should be encouraged to invest in stock market.
Seminars should be held for providing information to prospective and present
customers.
KOTAK should focus on customer satisfaction and the product availability and
treat their customer as GOD. The best way of competing with the competitor is to
make your customer satisfied, which results in the loyalty of your customers for
your company.
KOTAK should continuously do a RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMME, which will result in the information about the customers. For that
they should appoint R&D depts. This will continuously do this work
Commitment should be equalized for every person.
Provide the facility offree demonstrations for all.

6.3.1 LIMITATIONS OF THE PROJECT
As only JALANDHARdealt in survey so it does not represent the view of the total
Indian market.
Size of the research may not be substantial.
The survey was carried through questionnaire and the questions were based on
perception.
Some respondents either do not have time or willing does not respond, as they are
quite annoyed with the phone call.
Many contact details were wrong or not answered.
The respondents were reluctant to give information due to their busy schedule
& did not give importance to the phone call.
Complete data was not available due to company privacy and secrecy.
6.3.2Limitations (OTJ-On The Job)
Mostly people comfortable with traditional brokers: - As people are doing
trading from there respective brokers, they are quite comfortable to trade via phone.
Lack of Techno Savy people and poor internet penetration : -Since most of the
people are quite experienced and also they are not techno savy. Also internetpenetration is poor in India.
Some respondents are unwilling to talk : - Some respondents either do not have

47/53
1. TIME PRESSURE As the time was only 6 weeks, there was a pressure to
prepare the report with accurate data and present it to the Assistant Manager.
2. EXPENSES NOT PROVIDED Expenses which were incurred to get the
information were not provided by the company.
3. FINDING ACCURATE DATA There was a pressure to present only accurate
data not fake which took lots of time in proving that the data was accurate.
4. PEOPLE NOT READY TO GIVE INFORMATION People who were
approached were reluctant to provide the information due to their busy schedule.
5. MARKET TIME This was the biggest problem as we could contact our
Assistant Manager only after the share market closed and they completed their
work and settlements that is after 4 P.M.

7/31/2019 Summer Project on Kotak Securities Ltd.
48/53
On the basis of the study it is found that KOTAK SECURITIES Pvt. Ltd is better services
provider than the other stockbrokers because of their timely research and personalized
advice on what stocks to buy and sell. Kotak Ltd. provides the facility of Trade as well as
relationship manager facility for encouragement and protect the interest of the investors. It
also provides the information through the internet and mobile alerts that what IPOs are
coming in the market and it also provides its research on the future prospect of the IPO.
Study also concludes that people are not much aware of commodity market and while its
going to be biggest market in India.
The company should also organize seminars and similar activities to enhance theknowledge of prospective and existing customers, so that they feel more comfortable while
investing in the stock market.
From the above study, it can be concluded that although KOTAK has
earned some reputation but it will take some time to get established and
standardized its branches.
6.5 RECOMMENDATIONS
1. MORE BRANCHES Need to open more branches to be a topper in market because it
has a low distribution network.

time by verifying documents at branch itself.

account.
5. NEW BANKS IN THE KITTY Need to tie up with major banks like SBI, Allahabad

6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION The company should focus on the customer
satisfaction not on just taking money from their pocket.
7. CONTROLLED BRANCHES The company would have to make some arrangements
