Capital Market Efficiency
Capital Market Efficiency may be defined as the ability of securities to reflect and incorporate all relevant information in their prices. Three forms of capital market efficiency may be distinguished –
1. Weak form of efficiency
2. Semi-strong form of efficiency
3. Strong form of efficiency
6
Weak Form of Efficiency
The security prices reflect all past information about the price movements.
Semi-Strong Form of Efficiency The security prices reflect all public ally available
information about the price movements.
Strong Form of Efficiency
The security prices reflect all published and unpublished public and private information about the price movements.
Attributes of a Perfect Capital Market1. No entry Barriers.
2. Large Number of Buyers and Sellers.
3. Divisibility of financial assets.

CAPITAL MARKETS IN INDIA Primary market Secondary market

PRIMARY CAPITAL MARKET IN INDIA Primary capital market is a conduit for the sale of
new securities. Listed (existing or new) companies may make the
public issues of shares. The initial public offerings (IPOs) are the public
issues of securities by new companies for the first time.
13
Financial Instruments
Equity and debt are the two basic instruments of raising capital from the primary markets. Ordinary shares Preference shares Debentures Convertible debentures Warrants Cumulative convertible preference shares (CCPS) Derivative securities Borrowings from financial institutions

15
Private Placement
Instead of a public issue of securities, a company may offer them privately, only to a few investors; that is, less than 50 in number. This is referred to as private placement of securities.
16
Reasons for the development of Private Placement Private placement of securities is subject to much
less compliance than the public issues Private placement is cost effective as compared to
public issues Private placement is time effective as deals can be
easily and directly negotiated with a few investors Private placement helps to tailoring the issues
according to the needs of the companies
17
Euro Issues
Companies in India have started raising funds via euro issues in the foreign capital markets.
Euro issues include foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs), global depository receipts (GDRs) and American depository receipts (ADRs).
18
Government Securities
Both the central and state governments borrow large sums of money from the primary market by issuing dated securities (long-term securities) and Treasury bills (T-Bills).
T-Bills in India are issued for short duration.
19
Pricing of New Issues
Companies in India can freely price share issues, subject to the SEBI guidelines.
In the case of the listed companies, the current market price provides a basis for pricing the new issue of securities.
A company is required to issue a prospectus when it issues shares to the public.
20
Book Building and Price Discovery
Book building is an alternative to the traditional fixed-price method of security issue.
In book building the issue price is not fixed. Book building is a process of offering securities at various
bid prices from investors. There is a price band with the floor price (lower price) and
the ceiling price (higher price). The demand for the security is assessed and the price is
discovered based on bids made by investors. Price discovery, therefore, depends on the demand for the
shares at different prices.
21
Book building involves the following steps:1. The company plans an IPO via the book building
route.
2. It appoints an issue manager (usually a merchant banker) as book-runner.
3. It issues a draft prospectus containing all required disclosure.
4. The draft prospectus is filed with SEBI.

5. The issue manager (book-runner) appoints syndicate members and other registered intermediaries to garner subscription.
6. Price discovery begins through the bidding process.
7. At the close of bidding, book-runner and the company decide upon the allocation and allotments.
23
SECONDARY MARKETS IN INDIA Secondary capital markets deal in the second-hand
issued securities.
Stock exchanges are secondary markets where buyers and sellers trade in already issued securities.
24
A stock exchange provides the following useful economic functions:a) Help in determining fair prices based on demand and supply
forces and all-available information
b) Providing easy marketability and liquidity for investors
c) Facilitation in capital allocations in primary markets through price signalling
d) Enabling investors to adjusting portfolios of securities
25
In terms of business activities, the two most prominent all-India stock exchanges are the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI)
SEBI is required to regulate and promote the securities market by:

Government Securities Market The government debt market constitutes about
three-fourths of the debt market in India. Commercial banks and financial institutions in
India own a large proportion of the government debt securities due to statutory liquidity and other investment requirements.
28
Derivatives Market
Derivatives are securities derived from other securities (called underlying securities) like equity, debt, or any other type of security.
They also include contracts that derive their values from prices or index of prices.
In India, the OTC derivatives are not allowed; the legal derivatives must trade on recognised stock exchanges only.

MERCHANT BANKING: ROLE IN CAPITAL MARKETS
Merchant bankers play the role of intermediaries in the capital market in India.
They help companies in the total management of issues of securities.
Therefore, they are called issue managers. As members of stock exchange, underwriters of new issues
and book builders, they help to make market, and hence, are known as market makers also.
Merchant bankers cannot undertake the pure fund-based activities.
31
MUTUAL FUNDS AND CAPITAL MARKETS Indian investors started investing through mutual
funds since 1964 when the government set up the Unit Trust of India (UTI).
UTI’s objective was to mobilize the savings of the public, and invest them in securities and other assets, enabling the investors to earn good returns.
32
Broad categories of Mutual Funds Closed-ended mutual funds Open-ended fund
33
Various kinds of funds possible: Income funds Growth funds Balanced funds Tax saving funds Sector-based funds

36
Index Fund
In an index fund, the funds manager creates the fund by buying shares included in a stock market index such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE Nifty or a sector specific stock index.
Sector funds are index funds as they are based on stock market indices.
Stock market indices keep track of all types of companies.
37
Advantages: Index FundsLess expensesLow research costRegular follow-up
38
Limitations: Index Funds
Index funds can never outperform the market.The small investors may not be able to invest in
index funds as several funds require a large initial investment.
39
Hedge Fund
A hedge fund does varieties of things than merely buying and selling securities.
It takes both long and short positions, uses arbitrage, buys and sells undervalued securities, trades options or bonds, and invest in almost any opportunity in any market where it foresees impressive gains at reduced risk.
Most hedge funds aim at reducing volatility and risk, while offering high returns under different market conditions.
