PREFACE
Any kind of learning is incomplete till it is practically applied in the concerned field. Only then
does a person understand and get hold of even the minutes’ details of what he/she has learnt
in his stay at the institute doing his /her course. So, to practically apply what I had gained in the
past one year in the B.Com programme, I underwent two months summer training at Kotak
Securities, Gwalior.
It has been a wonderful learning experience, which has given me an insight into Management
of modern business which requires an appreciation of multidisciplinary concept and in-depth
knowledge of specific analytical tools, geared to the solution of real life problems. No doubt
every real situation is unique but a set of theoretical tools of knowledge, itself based on
empirical foundation, can help in developing the mechanism for handling such situation.
So the B.Com curriculum has been desired to provide to the future manager’s ample practical
exposure to the business world.
The summer training is essential for the fulfilment of B.Com curriculum; it provides an
opportunity to the student to understand the industry with special emphasis on the
development of skills in analyzing interpreting practical problems through applications of
management.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
THEORETICAL CONCEPTS
INVESTMENT AND INDIVIDUAL
Investing is never easy process. However, a sound understanding of some
Basic concepts make the process of investment decision-making much easier and
the experience much more enjoyable. The following steps can help the individual
get started on the path to becoming a successful investor.
1. IDENTIFICAION OF FINANCIAL NEEDS AND GOALS
The first step is to get a clear understanding of the financial needs and goals. The
question at this stage may be asked that when the money is needed. This needs
listing down all the financial goals an when they will materialize, and how much
money will be needed for the same. The answer will help to arrive at the time
frame for the investment- short term, medium term or long term.
2.UNDERSTANDING THE TOLERENCE TO RISK
Before making an investment decision, it is important to ascertain the feelings
about the risk. Will the investor be comfortable with fluctuations in the value of the
investment? Or would the investor prefer to settle for lower returns without ups
and down?
3.ESTIMATING THE REQUIRED RATE OF REURN
The required rate of return depends on the financial goals and the time the investor
has to achieve them.

8. 8 | P a g e
HUMAN BEING AND THE INVESTMENT
The human being is the most sophisticated type of species whatever there is
found on this planet. Although the other beings that are in existence on the
earth are also aware towards their ahead coming times but at the same time
the human is getting more aware towards its future . This awareness is being
shown in every area wherever the human has its reach. Money may be
considered as the most burning field that has got the maximum of the
attention of the human towards the fulfillment of the future needs.
Here the future money income factor is being considered as the prime object-ive
factor on which we are now going to pay most of our attention and time. For the
purpose of future income the present investments are compulsory that would yield
the funds in time coming ahead.
Now on the next pages there are being presented some important concepts re-lated
to the investment as par the topic that a comparative study between the investments
in mutual funds through systematic investment plans and invest-ment in the stocks
and shares.
WHY PEOPLE GO FOR THE INVESTMENTS?
This question that why the people go for the investment plays the role of the pivot
that would lead us towards the theoretical concepts that would build the foundation
for the overall research report.
The very clear purpose that we go for the investments in our life is that we want to
secure our future from all the mishappenings and at the same time want to learn
something from what we had invested in the past. This may be further stated in the
form of following two points.
1. For the purpose of gaining the current profits from their investments and
focusing on the short-term investments and gains coming out of them.

9. 9 | P a g e
2. For the purpose of earning long term profits and investing the gains again for the
long terms that to secure the future?
Above two points state clearly the motive behind the investments in various
investment instruments like stocks and shares, mutual funds and banks etc. This
leads towards the purpose that why we are willing to invest although we have
sufficient amounts of money with us.
VARIOUS VERY FREQUENTLY USED INVESTMENT
OPTIONS NOW -A-DAYS
Since a lot of investment options are available today for the investors but some
very popular and frequent used one are following.
1. Shares and stocks
2. Mutual Funds
3. Portfolio Management Services
Here some information related with the above ones is being provided for the
conceptual framework.
SHARES AND STOCKS
In case of a company, owners are called shareholders (or stockholders). Therefore
owner’s equity is referred to as shareholders’ equity or shareholders’ funds.
The company raises its funds by issuing the shares in the open market and these
shares are the very popular instruments of investment. Very often the shares are
fluctuated due to the company operations going high or low and these fluctuations
decide the result of the investments of individuals.
Primarily the shares are of following two types:

10. 10 | P a g e
PREFERENCE SHARES AND EQUITY SHARES
Preference shares are those ones that are redeemed preferably first at the time of
liquidation of the company.
After the redemption of the preference shares the equity shares are paid up or
redeemed.
MUTUAL FUNDS
A mutual fund pools the money of the people with similar investment goals. The
money in turn is invested in various securities depending on the objective of the
mutual fund scheme, and the profits (or loss) are shared among investors in
proportion to their investments.
Mutual fund schemes are usually open end (perpetually open for investments and
redemptions) or closed end (with a fixed term). A mutual fund scheme issues units
that are normally priced at Rs.10 during the initial offer. Thus the number of units
you own as against the total number of units issued by the mutual fund scheme
determines your share in the profit or loss of a scheme.
In the case of open end schemes, units can be purchased or sold back to the fund at
a Net Asset Value (NAV) based price on all business days.
The NAV is the actual value of a unit of the fund on a given day. Thus, when
investor invests in the mutual fund scheme, he normally gets an account state-ment
mentioning the number of the units that have been allotted to investor and the
NAV based price at which the units have been allotted .The account statement is
similar to the bank passbook. When investor buys or redeems units in part or full,
he gets an updated account statement, reflecting the transaction.

11. 11 | P a g e
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Portfolio management services are now- a -days available for those investors who
have large amounts of funds for the investment purposes but they do not have
sufficient amount of time to plan and manage their funds. For this purport-se these
investor have an option to go with the portfolio managers who invest their funds in
various investment schemes, take care of their investments and also provide
suggestion and recommendations to the investor about the future actions to be
taken so that their funds would increase in a planned fashion.
For the task of maintaining and taking care of the funds of the investor the
portfolio managers charge nominal fees that is going to be negligible in com-
parson to the amount of the investment .In this way the portfolio management
services are going to be more popular among large investors.
TYPES OF MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual funds can be classified based on their objective as they are in trend
1. SECTOR EQUITY SCHEMES
These schemes invest in shares of the companies in a specific sector.
2. DIVERSIFIED WQUITY SCHEMES
These schemes invest in shares of companies across different sectors of economy.
3. HYBRID SCHEMES
These schemes invest in a mix of shares and fixed income instruments.
4. INCOME SCHEMES
These schemes invest in fixed income instruments such as bonds issued by
corporate and financial institutions, and Government securities.
5. MONEY MARKET SCHEMES

12. 12 | P a g e
These schemes invest in short term instruments such as certificate of deposits,
treasury bills and short-term bonds.
WHERE DO MUTUAL FUNDS INVEST?
Broadly mutual funds invest in three types of asset classes:
1. STOCKS
Stocks represent ownership or equity in a company popularly known as shares. In
other words this may be said that the shareholders are the owners of the co-mpany.
2. BONDS
These represent debt from companies, financial institutions or Government
agencies.
3. MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS
These include short-term debt instruments such as treasury bills, certificate of
deposits and inter-bank call money.
Thus above are the three investment classes on which the fund manager of every
mutual fund keeps the eyes at every time so that the fund which is be-ing managed
by him should provide fair returns to their investors. In this way the fund manager
provides the information relating the investments and their fair growth.

CHAPTER 7
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Some of the Suggestions and recommendations for improving the present image as
well as the Services of Kotak securities Ltd. are as follows:
More Branches:
Some more branches should be opened so it becomes more easy and approachable
for the people to do their transaction. The branches should have well trained
employees.
Customer awareness:
The people should be updated with the new issues and the schemes started by the
organizations to the existing customers. The customers should be informed about
the newly issued scrip’s as well as be given daily basis tips/news for profitable
transactions. Regular contact with the customers through telephone can be
maintained for smooth running of the business.
Feedback:
A proper feedback system should be designed to take care of the dissatisfied
customers and solving their problem as their bad works of mouth publicity can
make Kotak Securities Ltd lose its potential as well as existing customers.
Well Trained Customer Care Staff:

28. 28 | P a g e
For satisfactory handling queries to establish more good standards in trading can
be done through outstanding performance, courteous services and a high ethical
benchmark
Higher Penetration in the Untapped Market:
Approaching all the potential clients, making them aware that various instruments
and convincing them.
Newspaper and Agents:
Newspaper and agents are most effective tools for awareness, so Kotak Securities
Ltd should use these tools more for advertisement.
Others:
1. According to the analysis the investor above the age of 50 years must be taken into
consideration as they are having great potential regarding investment.
2. Kotak Securities must use marketing tools like point of purchase, advertisement through
mass media, like newspapers, magazines, televisions, fairs, and advertisements on
Internet.
3. Documents required for an account opening are too unique and confusing. Voters ID or
driving license should be taken both as identity proof as well as address proof.
4. The organization is lacking on the parameters of motivation. For example incentives on
targets should be given time to time.
5. Kotak must lay some sound strategies to trap more customers by providing them with less
brokerage in comparison to other.

29. 29 | P a g e
CHAPTER 8
DIFFICULTIES FACED
• High Brokerage: ‐ Kotak Securities has high brokerage as compare to other online players.
• Call and trade: ‐ Call and trade facility is payable which is not convenient for all the clients.
• Saving Accounts: ‐ saving account with Kotak Mahindra Bank, AXIS, HDFC, HSBC and
CITI bank is mandatory.
• Documentation: ‐ in Kotak Securities the documentation process is very lengthy and
cumbersome.
• Lack of Awareness:‐ in Gwalior city, though Kotak is well known but still there is lack of
awareness regarding Kotak Securities and its online division i.e. Kotaksecurities.com and its
products.

30. 30 | P a g e
CHAPTER 9
MAJOR LIMITATIONS
Uncertainty of market
Securities investments are subject to market risk and there is no assurance of guarantee that the
objective of the scheme will be achieved.
Tough Competition
Due to the large number of local brokers investors are confused that where to invest and where
not to invest. Local brokers are ready to give the same investment plan in very least brokerage.
Rigid and traditional structure
The people believe investing in bank FD’s and post office saving and are reluctant to invest in
mutual fund. People like to secure money in terms of leading to the people on high interest, the
meant there is safe.
Socio‐economic factors
The most of the people of the country are agriculture dependent. So they invest less in the capital
in the market.

31. 31 | P a g e
CHAPTER 10
CONCLUSION
From the analysis of the responses receive from the investors in Chennai city, a
majority of investors are found to be conscious and enlightened regarding their
investment, returns and growth.
We have very good market in Chennai which comprises potential investors but due
to lack of basic promotion and publicity these investors are not fully aware of our
company and who so ever is aware of the company their investment decisions are
done on the basis of security, analysis of risk yield and return few parameters like
demographic, physiological, income etc.
E‐trading account is a unique combination of saving account; Demat and online
share trading account as no other depository provides all the three facilities
together.
So my findings are that Kotak securities should make little more efforts to trap the
potential investors, like media advertisements, paper advertisement, seminars and
business meets and building a good relationship with potential business, more over
friendly guidance.
