The Share Brokers also provide many value added service to its customers

such as :-

SHARE TIPS

The return rate in this case is generally much higher because the fund is being managed by an experienced fund manager. Thus, the commission charged by the broker is generally higher because here the whole headache of investing, making profit, and employing a fund manager is borne by the share broker only.

PROJECT REPORT ON PRIMARY MARKET, PRIMARY MARKET ISSUES, INVESTORS ATTITUDE TOWARDS PRIMARY MARKET

INTRODUCTION

The past twenty five years have witnessed a process of accelerating change in the world’s financial markets. Driven by an interacting process of liberalization and innovation, regulations have been removed, New product have emerged and old boundaries between financial intermediaries have been blurred. At the same time, growth of capital markets has posed new challenges to economic and financial stability. The role of Indian capital market which is to provide long term resources required by industries for investment has observed buoyancy in share market with the liberalization of industries and fiscal policies of the government. Finance, the lie blood of industry is mobilized especially through New Issue Market or Primary Market. The primary market, also called the new issue market, is the market for issuing new securities. Many companies, especially small and medium scale, enter the primary market to raise money from the public to expand their businesses. They sell their securities to the public through an initial public offering. The securities can be directly bought from the shareholders, which is not the case for the secondary market. The primary market is a market for new capitals that will be traded over a longer period. In the primary market, securities are issued on an exchange basis. The under writers, that is, the investment banks, play an important role in this market: they set the initial price range for a particular share and then supervise the selling of that share. Investors can obtain news of upcoming shares only on the primary market. The issuing firm collects money, which is then used to finance its operations or expand business, by selling its shares. Before selling a security on the primary market, the firm must fulfill all the requirements

16

regarding the exchange .After trading in the primary market the security will then enter the secondary market, where numerous trades happen every day. The primary market accelerates the process of capital formation in a country's economy. The primary market categorically excludes several other new long-term finance sources, such as loans from financial institutions. Many companies have entered the primary market to earn profit by converting its capital, which is basically a private capital, into a public one, releasing securities to the public.

This phenol Mena is known as" public issue" or "going public."There are three methods though which securities can be issued on the primary market: rights issue, Initial Public Offer (IPO), and preferential issue. A company's new offering is placed on the primary market through an initial public offer.

INDIAN CAPITAL MARKET ROLE IN INVESTMENT

Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called under writing. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO ) .Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus .Mutual funds are seemingly the easiest and the least stressful way to invest in the stock market.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SPECIFIC MARKETS

The interplay of the Asian crisis and other factors affecting commodity markets in recent months comes more into focus in a review of developments in specific primary commodity markets. Price decreases in excess of 10 percent over the period June 1997 through January 1998 that were in some way associated with the effects of weaker demand from Asian countries were recorded for nearly one-third of the commodities included in the IMF's commodity price index. The price declines for five commodities - copper, nickel, natural rubber, wool, and hides -appear to be associated mainly with the Asian crisis. The Asian crisis also played an important role, but probably not the predominant role, in the price declines of four other commodities - crude petroleum, timber, zinc, and lead. For certain other commodities, such as aluminum, iron ore, meat, maize, and soybean meal, ...

PROBLEMS OF INDIAN PRIMARY MARKET

There are several problems of the Indian primary market. But these problems can be overcome too by mere application of simple rules of these remedies have been suggested by experts. Economists attribute these problems to various factors so me of which are highlighted below. The function of the primary market with respect to the market for IPO or initial public offering is to see that various companies are provided with opportunities for the acquisition of growth capital. The primary market has withstood the tests of time in appropriate allotment of shares: There are many existing problems of the Indian primary market. Some of the instances include the inappropriate assignment of shares to the public as was the case of the ONGC public issues. Due to this there was a lot of confusion among the investors.

WITHDRAWAL OF IPOS:-

Another problem lies in the fact that these days, IPOs are increasingly being with drawn. An expert has rightly said that there is no point expressing disappointment in the withdrawal of the IPOs because it may be taken not as an indication of failure of the company and hence the primary market but it may be considered as a disagreement of price between the seller and the buyer. The primary markets are undulating the world over. The incidents occurring in the primary markets are reflections of what is actually happening in the secondary markets. It was fathomed that the IPOs, which were lately taken back had very "aggressive" price bands. The price bands could have been aligned as per existing conditions of the market. The lead managers responsible for the IPOs may also be blamed for the catastrophe. Few are of the opinion that lack of judgment may have led to the withdrawal. "Investors fatigue" is being accounted for in the withdrawals."Cornering" of shares: Recently, there was an instance when investors "cornered" shares, which were to be alloted to the public. The investor was actually a big investor who camouflaged as a small investor cornered many shares. The most important factor shaping in today's global economy is the process of globalization. Indian companies are moving in search of low-cast markets, technology is driving growth in production and competition is becoming more intense. A second factor is the fastest growth in private capital flows, mainly short-term flows by banks and financial institutions, portfolio flows by mutual funds and pension funds and foreign direct investment into India. A third factor is the increasing share of India and other emerging market economies in world trade. The outburst in communication technology has led to

22

greater integration of Indian financial markets across the world. The impact of these changes could be felt from the extremely buoyant activity in Indian stock markets. A number of foreign financial service providers have entered into the Indian financial market like Morgan Stanley, Templeton, and Goldman Sachs. Currently FII investment is at $ 6.5 Billion compared to $ 2 Billion in 2001. The stock market is booming with Sensex hovering around 16000-17000. SEBI has put in place appropriate guidelines and controls to regulate the markets in tune with the changing environment and attendant risks. All this is happening because of largea mounts of investment in the country. People often invest in various asset classes to:* To beat Inflation* To fund future needs* To meet contingencies* To maintain same standard of living after retirementAll these factors matters a lot to the investors and the mutual fund route is one way through which people can meet these needs. Free economies are generally characterized to have financial markets to serve as channels through which the savings of the society are made available to business enter prises. Such financial markets may be classified as

(1) Capital market, and (2)Money market where the former refers to the market mechanism which envisages institutional arrangements for marketing of long term and equity claims such as equity shares, preference shares, debentures, bonds, etc. while the latter refers to the market mechanism which concerns with floating of liquid funds and their short term uses in trade and industry through the banking system The capital market which concerns with demand and supply of long term funds is again dichotomized as primary or new issue market and secondary or stock market where the former deals with new securities offered to the investing pubic, while the latter deals with the existing securities. The joint stock companies raise funds from new issue markets but such new issue are also listed with stock markets which provide them a regular market, ensure regular valuation of and stability in prices of such securities, assure safety in dealings of the securities, channelize funds in the desired direction and ensure wider ownership of the securities. The stock exchanges are, thus, primarily concerned with providing marketability to the existing securities but these also activate the new issue markets which serve as primary source of funds to the industrial enterprises for their new projects or for expansion, diversification or modernization of existing ones. Both the primary and the secondary markets are integral parts of the capital market and are susceptible

23

to common influences. Public responses are generally encouraging in the new issue market when there is boom in the stock market and vice versa. Similarly, the secondary market is very sensitive to the impact of development in the country and the same is transmitted to the new issue market. New issues include ‘initial issues’ as well as ‘further issue’ where the former refers to the securities issued buy the companies for the first time either on in corporation or on conversion from private to public company while the latter refers to the new issues floated by existing companies which needed funds for expansion/ diversification/modernization. The initial and further issues may be combined under new money issue which refer to the issues for mobilization of new money for the corporate enterprises and there can be no new money issue which include bonus/capitalization issues and exchange issues where the former results from the capitalization to retained earnings enabling existing shareholders get new shares without paying and the latter results from conversion of private company into public, amalgamation, merger and equity dilution by FERA companies

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS (IPO)

A corporate may raise capital in the primary market by way of an initial public offer, rights issue or private placement. An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the selling of securities to the public in the primary market. It is the largest source of funds with long or indefinite maturity for the company.

IPO Stocks: When the company wants to release their shares into the market for the first time, they will invite the public to participate in an exercise called the IPO this is when you see people filling in application forms and buying bank drafts to purchase the company's shares countries do. Some call it" applying for new shares". Prices when applying for new shares are always much cheaper than what it should be listed in the market later. However, if it is a very attractive company, there will be more people who will participate in the IPO exercise and the draw-lots method will be used to determine who will be allocated the shares. Then, after the first stage, the company's shares will be listed in the stock market. That is when if you have managed to purchase the shares during the IPO offering, you Will be able to sell them into the market to buyers who want a part of these shares. Buying stocks through applying for IPO shares in general is always a safer

Registrars

24

The registrars sometimes, also called the ‘issue house’ are responsible normally for receiving the share applications from the various collection centers through controlling branches of bankers to the issue, analyzing them, recommending the basis of allotment in consultation with the managers to the regional stock exchange for approval arranging for dispatch of allotment letters and preparing the register of members, etc. their job normally starts with the opening of the subscription list, and continues till the share certificates are dispatched, and register of members along with other related registers/details are handed over to the company. Sometimes, the registrars to issue continue their association with the company in the role of share transfer agents, even after the issue is completed.

UnderwritersThe underwriters are the people who actually ensure that the company is able to raise the capital issued by it for a commission charged by them. They make a commitment to get the issue subscribed either by others or themselves. Usually the underwriters can be divided into two categories, namely, financial institutions and banks, on the one hand, and broker underwriters and approved investment companies/trust, on the other.

BrokersThese are the people who actually bring the prospective investors and the company together. It may not be an exaggeration to state that the success or failure of a public issue depends to large extent on the reaction of the brokers. Generally, they are the members of recognized stock exchanges, with a view to providing better and professional services to investing public and to promote development of capital market on healthy lines, the government has since allowed multiple membership to members of stock exchanges and accorded recognition to corporate entities and the financial institution sincluding subsidiaries of the banks.

BankersThese are the commercial banks, which will receive the application money along with the share application forms from the prospective investors. Depending upon the size of the issue, at least 4 or 5 banks are designated as bankers to the issue. Different branches of these banks are named at various locations where such application money is accepted. These collecting branches send the application forms and the money received by them to specified branch, where the details of the application are consolidated. Such specified branch of the banker to the issue is

25

called ‘controlling branch’/ the controlling branch is usually selected in the city where the managers to the issue/ registrars to the issue /registered office of the company is situated. However, it is not necessary that controlling branch should be at a place where the managers to the issue/ registrars to the issue/registered office of the company is situated.Publicity and advertising agentsPublic issue is an effort to motivate and persuade members of the public to invest in the shares of the company. It is, therefore, essential that the general public is made aware of the company, its activities, its plans for future, etc. it is of vital importance that publicity is given before the public issue by giving newspaper and TV advertisements. Press releases, press conference, leaflets and brochures, hoardings and posters and even audio visual shows are the usual media of publicity used for public issue. There are some advertising agencies, which specialize in financial advertising and publicity campaign for public issues.

Financial institutionsTerm lending financial institutions at the time of sanctioning underwriting support loans to the company, usually stipulate that the draft of the prospectus and also the proposed program for public issue is approved by them. The three principal all India financial institutions are the IDBI, IFCI and ICICI. Even when all the three institutions jointly finance a project under their participating finance scheme, one of them is generally chosen as the lead financials institution which acts on behalf of the other two. Hence, it is generally adequate if the company obtains the necessary approval from the regional office of the lead institution only. In some cases where other institutions like the LIC, GIC, UTI, etc. have also given financial assistance, it might be necessary to seek separate approvals from them, if insisted for. But generally an advance copy of the draft prospectus is sent to them with a request forward their comments, if any, direct to lead institution.

Other AgenciesIn addition, the company will also have a interaction with other agencies like auditors, legal advisors, taxation or technical experts whose names or statements are mentioned or quoted in the prospectus.

Government/Statutory Agencies

26

Besides the various agencies which are directly connected with a public issue whose efforts will have to be coordinated by the company, there are some statutory/government agencies that are connected with public issue. These are: (1) .SEBI which provides guidelines for public issue,(2). Registrar of the companies with whom the prospectus has to the filed and registered before the public issue under section 60 of the companies act, 1956, (3) .Reserve bank of India from whom necessary permission has to be obtained for non resident investment, of any in the company, (4). The stock exchanges where the company’s share are to be listed (5). Industrial licensing authorities for necessary industrial license to be obtained for the project or other statutory bodies like DGTD etc. with whom the capacity of the project has to be registered, and (6) Pollution control authorities and other local authorities from whom the clearance may have to be obtained and such clearance is referred to in the prospectus

A NEW CONCEPT OF IPO MARKET—BOOK BUILDING

SEBI guidelines defines Book Building as "a process undertaken by which a demand for the securities proposed to be issued by a body corporate is elicited and built-up and the price for such securities is assessed for the determination of the quantum of such securities to be issued by means of a notice, circular, advertisement, document or information memoranda or offer document" .Book Building is basically a process used in Initial Public Offer for efficient price discovery. It is a mechanism where, during the period for which the IPO is open, bids are collected from investors at various prices, which are above or equal to the floor price. The offer price is determined after the bid closing date As per SEBI guidelines, an issuer company can issue securities to the public though prospectus in the following manner:1. 100% of the net offer to the public through book building process2.75% of the net offer to the public through book building process and 25% at the price determined through book building. The Fixed Price portion is conducted like a normal public issue after the Book Built portion, during which the issue price is determined. The concept of Book Building is relatively new in India. However it is a common practice in most developed countries.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOOK BUILDING AND PUBLIC ISSUE

In Book Building securities are offered at prices above or equal to the floor prices, whereas securities are offered at a fixed price in case of a public issue. In case of Book Building, the demand can be known everyday as the book is built. But in case of the public issue the demand is known at the close of the issue.

The book building process:-

The company approaches lead manager for IPO The company and lead manager suggest a price band at which shares are to

be offered Application are invited Based on demand for the shares a certain price is established by promoters

and the lead manger The allotment is made on the basis of the market clearance price Post issue the price stabilization is undertaken by the lead manag

WHAT SEBI DID TO ENCOURAGE RETAIL INVESTOR SEBI has announced a series of measures to encourage retail participation in the primary market. This is perhaps the first instance where the market regulator has got the timing of reform measures spot on. Coming close on the heels of the hugely successful Maruti IPO, these measures should arouse retail interest in some of the big public offers expected in the near future — BPCL, Idea Cellular, TCS and Nalco. The principle of these changes seems to be that greater participation of retail investors in the primary market is possible only when they have a reasonable chance of making gains, certainly not the case earlier. To enable such participation, Sebi has adopted a two-fold approach. First, the market watchdog has made sure that retail investors actually get an allotment in book-built IPOs. Hence, the 10%increase in the allocation for retail investors. But more significant is the change in the

People who run the business. Hence, it’s important to focus on the credentials of the promoter and key management figures. Invest in companies with a proven management track record, since it’s the management philosophy and ability that determines attitude towards minority shareholders and the likely success of a venture. For instance, the promoters of Indraprastha gas and Maruti have proven management credentials. On the other hand, there’s a Tips industry, where there were allegations against one to the promoters in the Gulshan Kumar murder case such issues are best avoided.

THE LOCK INDuring an IPO, the underwriter makes the company’s key shareholders sign a lock-in agreement. The agreement is legally binding on the promoters and other key shareholders, prohibiting them from selling their shares for a specified period of time. The inevitable supply overhang when these previously restricted investors are permitted to sell shares can put downward pressure on the stock price. For example, in Patnicomputers, the lock in period for key promoters is three years, but for general Atlantic, a foreign venture capital investor holding 28.3 percent of outstanding shares, the lock in period is 180 days from listing.

THE FINANCESA good management and a sound business model count, but what matters most is performance. Check for consistency in revenue and profit growth and margins for at least three years before the IPO. Also, check if the company has an overly high debt equity ratio, or carries contingent liabilities, or has disputed tax claims, or faces litigation in short, factors bearing on the company’s operations and results.

THE RISK This is the most relevant part of the offer document. Although the offer documents tailor made to sell the issue, the risk factors help you get a fair idea of the impact of such risks on the company’s operations. For example, in the case of Bhatia Tele venture the biggest risk came from regulations governing Indian telecom. Increased competition in cellular services, unrestricted competition in fixed line services and the decision to Allow fixed line operators to provide limited mobility using WLL were some of the risksat the time of the IPO.

THE OBJECTSIn bull markets, price increases defy fundamentals, and companies are prone to capitalize on this sentiment to raise money. If you study the objects of the issue, you will be able to weed out the chaff. For example, if the money is being raised to repay loans or to provide and exit option to existing investors investigate. If the business is doing well, the company should not need to raise fresh capital to repay its debt. How ever, proceeds of the issue going towards research, marketing, or capacity expansion paints a better picture. Companies like Bharti and Diva’s have used the funds raised to create infrastructure, which will drive growth for these companies in future. On the other hand, BAG films had earmarked 60 percent of he issue proceeds towards production to feature films, which exposes it to significant risks considering that film production is not a safe business, especially when the company does not have prior experience in it.

THE FINE PRINTOften, the most critical bits of information on a company’s financial health are buried in the prospectus. Expect the red flags, in particular, to be lost in acres of fine print. For example, BAG films converted its 14 percent fully convertible debentures and accumulated interest into equity shares and issued them to UTI and IDBI at a 10 percent discount to the issue price at Rs. 9 per share. Rarely, some good news also gets buried and goes unnoticed. The discounts and royalty waivers by Suzuki to Maruti, for instance, will result in savings of over Rs.80crore, which will directly flow to the bottom line. This means Maruti’s Rs.146 crore net profits in 2003 will get a boost of 40 percent by just this little clause.

THE PRICEThe pricing of the issue determines the demand for the stock. Although issues are usually attractively priced to attract investors, benchmarking it with valuations of comparable listed companies is a good idea. This will give you a sense o f the relative attractiveness of the issue and scope for appreciation. For valuation purposes, compare the company’s profit margins, capital efficiency, price earning ratio and other financial parameters with that of similar payers. For example, Patti scores high on the valuation front but low on performances parameters like operating margins.

30

THE HYPE

Given that there is only one IPO for a company, they are often presented as not to be missed opportunity and much hype is created by lead managers and brokers to get as much attention as possible. Remember that it is their business to make clients buy and sell stocks. Our advice: don’t buy stocks just because they are making a debut in the market.

THE BROKER

The lead manager’s track record is as important as that of the company’s. History suggests that the best merchant bankers usually undertake some due diligence before associating themselves with an issue. Since business fortunes of merchant bankers depend on their track record, there is more reason for them to handle only quality issues. Look for known lead managers like Kotak investment, SBI capital markets, DSP Merilllynch, Enam, JM Morgan. Be wary of smaller investment banks that may be willing to make any company public.

People were not willing to fill the entire questionnaire due to the less time available to them.

Some respondents might be hesitant to divulge personal and financial information which can affect the validity of all responses.

There is lack of awareness among people about investing in stock market. So the people who are aware of such things were found in specific areas for survey purposes.

Most people are comfortable with traditional system in small towns and like to trade from their respective brokers, hence not providing a true opinion of theirs.

Some of the respondents who did not do online trading were able to respond to only few questions.

The survey was done in the jodhpur region and may not truly express the opinion of whole country

Maximum respondents said that they got the knowledge from their brokers, &some of them said that they got knowledge about primary market /newspaper & very few respondents got information through TV from Internet and any other sources for information.

Retail investor divert their fund from the banking system to the primary market. As the interest rate of saving account deposit decreased very much.

Most of respondents said that they invest less portion of their income in primary market. Very few investors like to invest major portion of their income in primary market.

Respondents view is that primary market investment is risky. So there is a fear in the mind of respondents about to invest in primary market.

The study shows that maximum respondents among the sample respondents are getting information related to the different services from the agents. It implies that most powerful source of information about services is an agent.

There is a need to bring awareness among the general public about primary market

SUGGESTIONS

46

On the basis of the Market survey conducted has put very interesting findings in the Market. The very first suggestion to the investor is that the best thing for the investors to do to ensure that they are not cheated in this IPO boom, is to study the prospectus them selves, read various comments and take their own decision. Investors have to be wareas all those who are keen to grab a piece of the cake of the impending IPO boom, are doing so at their cost. Keep in mind three P’s before investing in any IPO & Three P’s are

Performance Price The next best suggestion to the investor is that they should be steer clear of

IPO’s from lesser known industry and focus on offerings by well known industry leader with quality management and strong financials.

The investor should not follow the IPO boom blindly as they can get cheated as they during nineties IPO fiasco.

The companies should make regular contact with his customer through his marketing executives. This would not only help in strengthening the business relation but would also help in taking proper feedback of their products.

The majority of customers are price conscious so they should improve or decrease their price/commission rate.

The companies should concentrate more on the sale promotion activities through different media.

The market is not well aware of the product line of the companies, so companies should give full information of there product line to the investors.

In corporate and institutions, people are looking for better service. So by providing this it can gain the big reach its break even as soon as possible and can earn profit from there.

CONCLUSION

47

This project is based on the study of “Investors attitude towards primary market”. In the today scenario it’s very important to study the customer’s psychological behavior regarding the various services provided by them. In the end, I conclude that investor should not invest their hard earned money blindly in the IPO’s but they should invest their money by taking different safeguards like understand the company business, who its promoter are, how is its management, its risk factor and pricing of the issue etc. Although there is SEBI to protect the investor but He Company which follow the legal binding of the SEBI is not fool proof that the company is a good one .It has been concluded that on the one hand the customers are somewhat satisfied but on the other hand, still some improvements are required. So, the broking companies segment is flooded with the new schemes from new & existing players and moreover, lot many schemes are waiting to hit the ramp in the coming years.

The main reason behind people not wanting to have investing of a particular company is the lack of proper information. Moreover, people don’t want to come out of coco on of their seemingly uncomplicated life. They seem satisfied with their old ways and are wary of modern, new age products.

The most important factor that attracts the people towards investment in primary market is the communication factor. This is the most important reason and for this, people feel persuaded to buy it.
