    PREFACE

    MBA is a professional course wherein for a student to posses only

    theoretical knowledge alone is not enough but also to improve practicalskill which is helpful to them in every field of life in their future.

    Students needs to have a practical implementation in the current

    scenario.

    As a part of final semester syllabus of MBA we visited Stock Broking

    Companies for practical training and also studied on the working of its

    different services and prepare report on particular topic.

    This training has expanded our horizon of knowledge in practical as well

    as theoretical which are vital for any student in management level

    studies. After completion of this Project we came to know that when we

    study theory but practice it is very difficult to understand. Therefore to

    serve dual purpose of practical training has been made compulsory for the

    student of MBA.

    Such training promotes a student to boost his potentials and the inner

    qualities, and thereby students come to know about their reality that how

    the theoretical knowledge works in actual sense in any unit. This has

    indeed proved to be very useful to us.

    INTRODUCTION TO STOCK MARKET

    WHY INVEST?

    If you were to open a book on economics and look up the

    word investing, chances are that you would find the following

    definition: Investing is building up to meet future consumption

    demands with the intention of making surpluses or profits, as

    they are popularly known.

    And after reading it, the last trace of your eagerness to

    invest is likely to evaporate.

    But investing is essential. Here is why

    While the life expectancy of the average human being

    has increased, we are productive only between the ages of 30

    and 60 years. Hence the short time span that we are able to

    earn money needs to provide for our future when we may not

    be capable of earning.

    Everything being the same, we could keep away a part of

    our earnings every year (save) that will come in handy when we

    will not be able to earn. However inflation destroys the value

    of what we save. A sum of Rs10,000 saved this year will not

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    9/81

    - 3 -

    have the same purchasing power ten years down the line. Hence

    we need to preserve the purchasing power of what we save.

    The only way to hedge inflation is to invest in shares,

    debentures, bonds, gold or real estate, to earn returns from

    these assets that compensate for the decline in our purchasing

    power.

    WHAT IS A SHARE?

    Share or Equity represents part of an ownership of a

    business. So as a shareholder you own a piece of the actionthat happens in that business. Why would you want a piece of

    the action? For the rewards of course. As a shareholder you

    have a right over the profits generated by your business. Your

    company might pay out the profits generated every year as

    dividends or it may retain the profits to further grow them.

    Theres another way you as a shareholder can make

    money. If your company does well, then its shares listed on the

    stock market become more valuable and the stock price

    appreciates. On the other hand, the company might perform

    badly. Then not only do you not get dividends but the stock

    price also declines. Hence investing in shares is a risky

    proposition.

    When you invest in shares, you can expect certain returns

    based on the fundamentals of a business. However you have no

    control over it. What you have control over is managing risks

    associated with it.

    INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

    INTRODUCTION

    Stock exchanges to some extent play an important role as

    indicators, reflecting the performance of the countrys

    economic state of health. Stock market is a place where

    securities are bought and sold.

    It is exposed to a high degree of volatility; prices fluctuate

    within minutes and are determined by the demand and supply

    of stocks at a given time. Stock brokers are the ones who buy

    and sell securities on behalf of individuals and institutions for

    some commission.

    The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is

    the authorized body, which regulates the operations of stock

    exchanges, banks and other financial institutions.

    The past performances in the capital markets especially

    the securities scam by Hasrshad Mehta has led to tightening

    of the operations by SEBI. In addition the international

    trading and investment exposure has made it imperative to

    better operational efficiency.

    With the view to improve, discipline and bring greater

    transparency in this sector, constant efforts are being made

    and to a certain extent improvements have been made.

    HISTORY OF THE STOCK BROKING INDUSTRY

    Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history

    dates back to nearly 200 years ago. The earliest records of

    security dealings in India are meager and obscure.

    By 1830's business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and

    Cotton presses took place in Bombay. Though the trading list

    was broader in 1839, there were only half a dozen brokers

    recognized by banks and merchants during 1840 and 1850. The

    1850's witnessed a rapid development of commercial

    enterprise and brokerage business attracted many men into

    the field and by 1860 the number of brokers increased into 60.

    In 1860-61 the American Civil War broke out and cotton supply

    from United States of Europe was stopped; thus, the 'Share

    Mania' in India begun. The number of brokers increased to

    about 200 to 250. However, at the end of the American Civil

    War, in 1865, a disastrous slump began (for example, Bank of

    Bombay Share which had touched Rs 2850 could only be sold at

    Rs. 87). At the end of the American Civil War, the brokers

    who thrived out of Civil War in 1874, found a place in a street(now appropriately called as Dalal Street) where they would

    conveniently assemble and transact business.

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    14/81

    - 8 -

    In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native

    Share and Stock Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively

    known as "The Stock Exchange"). In 1895, the Stock Exchange

    acquired a premise in the same street and it was inaugurated in

    1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.

    Thus in the same way, gradually with the passage of time

    number of exchanges were increased and at currently it

    reached to the figure of 24 stock exchanges.

    DEVELOPMENT

    An important early event in the development of the stock

    market in India was the formation of the Native Share and

    Stock Brokers Association at Bombay in 1875, the precursor

    of the present-day Bombay Stock Exchange. This was followed

    by the formation of associations /exchanges in Ahmedabad

    (1894), Calcutta (1908), and Madras (1937). IN addition, a

    large number of ephemeral exchanges emerged mainly in

    buoyant periods to recede into oblivion during depressing times

    subsequently.

    In order to check such aberrations and promote a more orderly

    development of the stock market, the central government

    introduced a legislation called the Securities Contracts

    (Regulation) Act, 1956. Under this legislation, it is mandatory

    on the part of a stock exchange to seek government

    recognition. As of January 2002 there were 23 stock

    exchanges recognized by the central Government. They are

    located at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Baroda, Bhubaneshwar,

    Calcutta, Chennai,(the Madras stock Exchanges ), Cochin,Coimbatore, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderbad, Indore, Jaipur, Kanpur,

    Ludhiana, Mangalore, Mumbai(the National Stock Exchange or

    NSE), Mumbai (The Stock Exchange), popularly called the

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    16/81

    - 10 -

    Bombay Stock Exchange, Mumbai (OTC Exchange of India),

    Mumbai (The Inter-connected Stock Exchange of India),

    Patna, Pune, and Rajkot.

    While the recognized stock exchanges have been accorded a

    privileged position, they are subject to governmental

    supervision and control. The rules of a recognized stock

    exchanges relating to the managerial powers of the governing

    body, admission, suspension, expulsion, and re-admission of its

    members, appointment of authorized representatives andclerks, so on and so forth have to be approved by the

    government. These rules can be amended, varied or rescinded

    only with the prior approval of the government. The Securities

    Contracts (Regulation) Act vests the government with the

    power to make enquiries into the affairs of a recognized stock

    exchange and its business, withdraw the recognition the task

    of regulating the stock exchange to the Securities Exchanges

    Board of India.

    BSE (THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF MUMBAI)

    The Stock Exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as "BSE" was

    established in 1875 as "The Native Share and Stock Brokers

    Association". It is the oldest one in Asia, even older than the

    Tokyo Stock Exchange, which was established in 1878. It is a

    voluntary non-profit making Association of Persons (AOP) andis currently engaged in the process of converting itself into

    demutualised and corporate entity. It has evolved over the

    years into its present status as the premier Stock Exchange in

    the country. It is the first Stock Exchange in the Country to

    have obtained permanent recognition in 1956 from the Govt. of

    India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.

    The Exchange, while providing an efficient and

    transparent market for trading in securities, debt and

    derivatives upholds the interests of the investors and ensures

    redressal of their grievances whether against the companies or

    its own member-brokers. It also strives to educate and

    enlighten the investors by conducting investor education

    program and making available to them necessary informative

    inputs.

    A Governing Board having 20 directors is the apex body, which

    decides the policies and regulates the affairs of the Exchange.

    The Governing Board consists of 9 elected directors, who are

    from the broking community (one third of them retire ever

    year by rotation), three SEBI nominees, six public

    representatives and an Executive Director & Chief Executive

    Officer and a Chief Operating Officer.

    A person holding assets (Securities/Funds), either to

    meet his liquidity needs or to reshuffle his holdings in response

    to changes in his perception about risk and return of the

    assets, decides to buy or sell the securities. He selects a

    broker and instructs him to place buy/sell order on an

    exchange. The order is converted to a trade as soon as it finds

    a matching sell/buy order. At the end of the trade cycle, the

    trades are netted to determine the obligations of the trading

    members securities/funds as per settlement cycle.

    INTRODUCTON TO EQUITY MARKET

    The Capital Market

    INDIAN CAPITAL MARKET

    The function of the financial market is to facilitate the

    transfer of funds from surplus sectors (lenders) to deficit

    sectors (borrowers). Normally, households have excess of

    funds or savings, which they lend to borrowers in the

    corporate and public sectors whose requirement of funds far

    exceeds their savings. A financial market consists of investors

    and buyers, sellers, dealers and does not refer to a physical

    location. Formal trading rules and communication networks for

    originating and trading financial securities link the participants

    in the market.

    As elsewhere in the world, the Indian financial system

    consists of: -

    Money Market

    Capital Market

    The money market has two components.

    Organized Market

    Unorganized Market

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    28/81

    - 22 -

    The organized market is dominated by commercial banks.

    The other major players are the Reserve Bank of India, Life

    Insurance Corporation, General Insurance Corporation, and

    Unit Trust of India, Securities Trading Corporation of India,

    other primary dealers and the various mutual funds. Despite

    rapid expansion of the organized money through a large

    network of banking institutions that have extended their reach

    even to the rural areas,

    there is still an active unorganized money market. It

    consists of indigenous bankers and moneylenders.

    In the unorganized market, there is no clear demarcation

    between short-term and long-term finance and even between

    the purposes of finance. The unorganized sector continues to

    provide finance for trade as well as personal consumption. The

    inability of poor to meet the creditworthiness requirements of

    the banking sector makes them take recourse to the

    institutions that still remain outside the regulatory framework

    of banking. But this market is shrinking.

    INDIAN CAPITAL MARKET CLASSIFICATION

    Indian capital market can be broadly classified, into the

    following:

    I. MONEY MARKET:

    It is a market, which deals in short term securities

    such as treasury bills, certificate of deposits etc.

    II. DEBT MARKET:

    It is a market dealing in debt securities such as

    debentures, bonds etc.

    III. SECURITIES MARKET:

    It is a market dealing in equity and equity linked

    securities. This market comprises of primary

    market and second market.

    The capital market provides the framework in which

    savings and investment take place. On the one hand it enables

    companies to raise resources from the investors and on the

    other, it facilitates households to invest their saving in

    industrial or commercial activities. Those saving instruments

    that can be bought or sold freely are called securities. These

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    30/81

    - 24 -

    include a range of products debt and equity that can be

    traded. The market where such trades take place is the

    securities market or capital market and comprises the various

    exchanges, intermediaries and its regulatory institutions.

    The capital market consists of these segments.

    Primary Segments

    Secondary Segments

    The primary market deals with the issue of new

    instruments by the corporate sector such as equity shares,

    preference shares, and debentures. The public sector

    consisting of central and state governments, various public

    sector industrial units (PSUs) and statutory and other

    authorities such as state electricity boards and port trusts

    also issue bonds. The primary market in which public issue of

    securities is made through a prospectus is a retail market and

    there is no physical location. Direct mailing, advertisements

    and brokers reach the investors. Screen based trading

    eliminates the need trading floor.

    The Secondary Market Or Stock Exchange where

    existing securities are traded is an auction arena. It may have

    a physical location like a stock exchange or a trading floor.

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    31/81

    - 25 -

    Since 1995, the trading in securities is screen-based. Screen-

    based training eliminates need for a trading floor. And, since

    the last few years Internet-based trading has also made an

    appearance in India.

    The Secondary Market consists of 23 stock exchanges

    including the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Over-the

    Counter Exchange Of India (OTCEI) and also Bombay Stock

    Exchange (BSE). The secondary market provides a tradingplace or terminals for the securities already issued to be

    bought and sold. It also provides liquidity to the initial buyers

    in the primary market to re-offer the securities to any

    interested buyer at any price, if mutually accepted. An active

    secondary market actually promotes the growth of the primary

    market and capital formation because investors in the primary

    market are assured of a continuous market and they can

    liquidate their investments in the stock exchange.

    There are several major players in the primary market. These

    include the merchant bankers, mutual funds, financial

    institutions, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and individual

    investors. R & T agents, Custodians and Depositories are

    capital market intermediaries that provide important

    infrastructure services for both primary and secondary

    markets.

    It is important to ensure a smooth working of this market, as

    it is the arena where the players in the economic growth of a

    country interact. Various laws have been passed from time to

    time to meet this objective. The financial market in India was

    highly segmented until the initiation of reforms in 1992-93 on

    account of a variety of regulations and administered prices

    include barriers to entry. The reform process was initiated

    with establishment of securities and exchange of India (SEBI).

    CAPITAL MARKET PROCESSES

    There are various processes that issuers of securities follow

    or utilize in order to tap the savers for raising resources.

    Some of the commonly used processes and methods are

    described below: -

    Private Placement:

    Method of raising funds directly from investors without issue

    of prospectus to the public is known as private placement.

    SEBI has prescribed the eligibility criteria for companies and

    instruments as well as procedures for private placement.

    Privately placed securities can also be listed if such placement

    fulfills all listing criteria.

    Preferential Offer/Right Issue:

    Companies can expand their capital b offering the new shares

    to their existing shareholders. Such offers for sale can be

    made to the existing shareholders by giving them a

    preferential treatment in allocation or the offer can be on a

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    37/81

    - 31 -

    right basis i.e. the existing holders can get by the way of their

    right, allotment of new share in certain proportion to their

    earlier holding. If the shares are offered to a few of the

    existing shareholder instead to all shareholders or at a price

    different from the price at which they are issued to all, such

    issues are called preferential allotments. Preferential

    allotment requires shareholders approval in the general body

    meeting. Further, all such offers have also to e in compliance

    with criteria laid down by SEBI.

    Internet broking:

    With the Internet becoming ubiquitous, many institutions have

    set up securities trading agencies that provide online trading

    facilities to their clients from their homes. This has been

    possible since all the players in the securities market, viz.

    stockbrokers, stock exchange, clearing corporation,

    depositories, DPs etc are linked electronically. Thus

    information flows amongst them on a real time basis.

    Initial Public Offer (IPO):

    Companies, new as well as old, can offer their shares to the

    investors in the primary market. This kind of tapping the saving

    is called an IPO or Initial Public Offering. SEBI guidelines

    regulate various procedures involved in making a public issue

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    38/81

    - 32 -

    but price of shares, size of the issue, timing of issue, listing of

    the issue is decided by the issuer. Issuers have to disclose all

    relevant facts and information in the prospectus. Prospectus

    also has to disclose risk factors and management perception

    about those risks.

    Stock trading:

    An investor in securities needs assurance that they can

    convert their security holding to cash to meet their cashrequirements. The ability to convert value of securities into

    cash is called liquidity. The liquidity is provided by the stock

    exchange. Stock exchange is a platform where buyers and

    sellers of securities will match their bids and offer for

    securities and exchange securities with cash. The offers and

    bids are routed through members of the stock exchange,

    popularly known as a broker. Stock exchange regulates the

    transaction are conducted fairly and transparently with justice

    to both buyers and sellers.

    EQUITY MARKET

    Equity represents an ownership position in a corporation. It is a

    residual claim, in the sense that creditors and preference

    shareholders must be paid as scheduled before equity

    shareholders can receive any payment. In bankruptcy equity

    holders are in principle entitled only to assets remaining after

    all prior claimants have been satisfied.

    Thus, risk is highest with equity shares and so must be its

    expected return. When investors buy equity shares, they

    receive certificates of ownership as proof of their being part

    owners of the company. The certificate state the number of

    states the number of shares purchased and their par value.

    Changing Attitude towards Equity Ownership

    With a broadening of the corporate sector, volume of business

    on the exchange s in India is likely to increase. The greater

    interest shown in recent years by investors is partly reflected

    in the over-subscription of new issues.

    There has been great demand for growth issues. I.e. shares

    of companies with growth prospects. It has been observed that

    the wider the distribution of corporate securities amonginvestors, the grater the reception accorded to new or

    additional issues of capital; the more mobile the additional

    issues of capital; the more mobile the market, the grater the

    participation of investors and traders in the raising of

    corporate capital.

    The available data about the share ownership in the country

    show that there is gradual widening if ownership. The

    increasing participation in stock market activities by financial

    and non financial intermediaries, particularly of institutions

    which are mainly investors has tended to create an orderly and

    stable market.Further, the various growth-permitting factors including

    regulatory measures, progressive spread of literacy and

    dissemination of investment information all tend to

    contribute to a healthy growth of the stock market. In the

  • 8/6/2019 Satisfaction Level of Investors With Their Broking Firm

    45/81

    - 39 -

    security market, equity shares are the most romantic of all the

    form of securities.

    Further more, equity analysis is more complicated than bond

    appraisal, and greater skill is required in selecting equity than

    fixed income securities. The attitude towards equity shares

    has varied from extreme pessimism to optimism from time to

    time.

    It is equity shares that entice most investors, and some

    investors have been known to feel grater sympathy for theirequity than their spouses. Presence of market and business

    risks associated with such investments fails to keep the

    investing public and institution out of the market because of

    their confidence in the ultimate success of the equity shares,

    i.e. towards overshadow risks. In fact the advantages of equity

    shares ownership are enough to lure the investors and change

    their attitude towards securities.
