profile and credibility leading to increase in the value of its shares

the company and benefit from being its shareholders

wealth creation for the promoters and the investors.

How does the SME Exchange help SMEs (1/2)
43
 The repose of faith by the investors – domestic and foreigners in the listed SMEs is
high. Transparency and corporate governance will improve manifold by listing on
SME Platform.
 Listed company will have easy accessibility to alternate funding options. The banks,
P/E funds and other financial institutions provide them the loans very easily. The fund
raising through ADRs and GDRs become easier. Also, the company can raise more
funds through follow on public offering.
 The tax benefits are also immense. The long term capital gain tax on listed company is
zero.
How does the SME exchange help SMEs (2/2)
44
 The working of SME Exchange is not well understood by the SMEs in the country. The
SMEs are mostly not well informed of the capital market issues and modalities of
raising equity capital. There is need for conducting lot of awareness programs to
educate them.
 Merchant Bankers used to handle only the primary market issues so far. On the SME
platform, he has to assist the company in the secondary market through market
making for three years.
 Merchant banker, issuer and market maker have to work as team for three years to
make the market making activity a success. This is a huge challenge.
 The investor base is limited and only the investors with a minimum investment of Rs.
One lakh are allowed to participate.
Challenges for launch of SME Exchange (1/2)
45
 We have interacted with the market intermediaries over the last six months. There
were apprehensions about the SME model in the beginning.
 After few rounds of discussions, we see the substantial change in the perception of
the SME platform. Many merchant bankers are optimistic and the members with
market making experience are positive about the SME Platform.
 We are hopeful that these challenges will not be a roadblock for the successful take
off of the BSE SME Platform.
Challenges for launch of SME Exchange (2/2)
46
 A large number of merchant bankers are optimistic about the SME Exchange/
Platform. Except top 5 MBs, most of the medium size MBs are keen and already
started working.
 The market makers will get the fees out of the issue expenses, like the merchant
bankers. The members who have the experience of market making in the past are
positive on the scope of market making in this segment.
 Investors’ outlook is not yet clear. But the investors with medium to long term
perspective are optimistic on wealth creation opportunity in this segment.
 Regarding the SMEs, the response has been extra ordinarily exciting. The SMEs are
enthusiastic about the opportunity to raise the equity capital on BSE SME.
Outlook on the SME Exchange (1/2)
47
 The professionals like Company Secretaries and Chartered Accountants have an
important role to play in educating the promoters of the SMEs and guiding them in
raising equity capital on BSE SME Platform.
 The member brokers and the sub brokers having branches and franchises spread
across the country can play important role in mobilizing and educating the SMEs with
