8. INTRODUCTION
1.1. FINANCIAL MARKET
A financial market is a market in which people and entities can trade financial securities,
commodities, and other fungible items of value at low transaction costs and at prices that reflect
supply and demand. Securities include stocks and bonds, and commodities include precious
metals or agricultural goods.
Financial markets facilitate:
The raising of capital
The transfer of risk
International trade
1.2. Types of Financial Market
Capital Market
Money Market
Commodity Market
Derivatives
Foreign Exchange
Insurance
These markets can further be classified into:
1.2.1. CAPITAL MARKET:
The market where securities are traded known as Securities market. It consists of two different
segments namely primary and secondary market. The primary market deals with new or fresh
issue of securities and is, therefore, also known as new issue market; .whereas the secondary
market provides a place for purchase and sale of existing securities and is often termed as stock
.market or stock exchange.
8
-
9. Types of capital market
Capital Market can also be classified into:
BOND MARKET:
The bond market (also known as the debt, credit, or fixed income market) is a financial market
where participants buy and sell debt securities, usually in the form of bonds. As of 2009, the size
of the worldwide bond market (total debt outstanding) is an estimated $82.2 trillion [1], of which
the size of the outstanding U.S. bond market debt was $31.2 trillion according to BIS (or
alternatively $34.3 trillion according to SIFMA).
However, a small number of bonds, primarily corporate, are listed on exchanges. References to
the "bond market" usually refer to the government bond market, because of its size, liquidity,
lack of credit risk and, therefore, sensitivity to interest rates. Because of the inverse relationship
between bond valuation and interest rates, the bond market is often used to indicate changes in
interest rates or the shape of the yield curve.

10. STOCK MARKET:
A stock market or equity market is a public entity (a loose network of economic transactions, not
a physical facility or discrete entity) for the trading of company stock (shares) and derivatives at
an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded
privately.
The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion at the beginning of
October 2008.[1] The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion
face or nominal value,[2] 11 times the size of the entire world economy.[3] The value of the
derivatives market, because it is stated in terms of notional values, cannot be directly comparedto
a stock or a fixed income security, which traditionally refers to an actual value. Moreover, the
vast majority of derivatives 'cancel' each other out (i.e., a derivative 'bet' on an event occurring is
offset by a comparable derivative 'bet' on the event not occurring). Many such relatively illiquid
securities are valued as marked to model, rather than an actual market price.
The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities of a corporation or mutual
organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of the organizations to a
listing of stocks and securities together. The largest stock market in the United States, by market
capitalization, is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In Canada, the largest stock market is
the Toronto Stock Exchange. Major European examples of stock exchanges include the
Amsterdam Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, Paris Bourse, and the Deutsche Börse
(Frankfurt Stock Exchange). In Africa, examples include Nigerian Stock Exchange, JSE Limited,
etc. Asian examples include the Singapore Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Hong
Kong Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the Bombay Stock Exchange. In Latin
America, there are such exchanges as the BM&F Bovespa and the BMV.
Trading
Participants in the stock market range from small individual stock investors to large hedge fund
traders, who can be based anywhere. Their orders usually end up with a professional at a stock
exchange, who executes the order of buying or selling.
Market participants
.Market participants include individual retail investors, institutional investors such as mutual
funds, banks, insurance companies and hedge funds, and also publicly traded corporations
trading in their own shares. Some studies have suggested that institutional investors and
corporations trading in their own shares generally receive higher risk-adjusted returns than retail
investors.
Mutual funds as a part of Capital Market
MUTUAL FUNDS
10
-
11. Mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common
financial goal. This pool of money is invested in accordance with a stated objective. The joint
ownership of the fund is thus “Mutual”, i.e. the fund belongs to all investors. The money thus
collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other
securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciations realized
are shared by its unit holders in proportion the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual
Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in
a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. A Mutual Fund
is an investment tool that allows small investors access to a well-diversified portfolio of equities,
bonds and other securities. Each shareholder participates in the gain or loss of the fund. Units are
issued and can be redeemed as needed. The fund‟s Net Asset value (NAV) is determined each
day. Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and
thus the risk is reduced. Diversification reduces the risk because all stocks may not move in the
same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual fund issues units to the investors
in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as
unit holders.
Advantages of mutual fund
•Portfolio Diversification
11
-
12. •Professional management
•Reduction / Diversification of Risk
•Liquidity
•Flexibility & Convenience
•Reduction in Transaction cost
•Safety of regulated environment
•Choice of schemes
•Transparency
Disadvantages of mutual fund
•No control over Cost in the Hands of an Investor
•No tailor-made Portfolios
•Managing a Portfolio Funds
•Difficulty in selecting a Suitable Fund Scheme
1.2.2. MONEY MARKET:
The money market became a component of the financial markets for assets involved in short-
term borrowing, lending, buying and selling with original maturities of one year or less. Trading
in the money markets is done over the counter, is wholesale. Various instruments like Treasury
bills, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, deposits, certificates of deposit, bills of exchange,
repurchase agreements, federal funds, and short-lived mortgage- and asset-backed securities do
exist. It provides liquidity funding for the global financial system.
1.2.3. COMMODITY MARKET:
Commodity markets are markets where raw or primary products are exchanged. These raw
commodities are traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which they are bought and sold
in standardized contracts.
This article focuses on the history and current debates regarding global commodity markets. It
covers physical product (food, metals, and electricity) markets but not the ways that services,
including those of governments, nor investment, nor debt, can be seen as a commodity. Articles
on reinsurance markets, stock markets, bond markets and currency markets cover those concerns
separately and in more depth. One focus of this article is the relationship between simple
commodity money and the more complex instruments offered in the commodity markets.
12
-
13. Commodities trading
Spot trading
Spot trading is any transaction where delivery either takes place immediately, or with a
minimum lag between the trade and delivery due to technical constraints. Spot trading normally
involves visual inspection of the commodity or a sample of the commodity, and is carried out in
markets such as wholesale markets. Commodity markets, on the other hand, require the existence
of agreed standards so that trades can be made without visual inspection.
Forward contracts
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange at some fixed future date a
given quantity of a commodity for a price defined today. The fixed price today is known as the
forward price. Early on these forward contracts were used as a way of getting products from
producer to the consumer. These typically were only for food and agricultural products.
Futures contracts
A futures contract has the same general features as a forward contract but is standardized and
transacted through a futures exchange. Although more complex today, early forward contracts
for example, were used for rice in seventeenth century Japan. Modern forward, or futures
agreements began in Chicago in the 1840s, with the appearance of the railroads. Chicago, being
centrally located, emerged as the hub between Midwestern farmers and producers and the east
coast consumer population centers.
In essence, a futures contract is a standardized forward contract in which the buyer and the seller
accept the terms in regards to product, grade, quantity and location and are only free to negotiate
the price.
Hedging
Hedging, a common practice of farming cooperatives insures against a poor harvest by
purchasing futures contracts in the same commodity. If the cooperative has significantly less of
its product to sell due to weather or insects, it makes up for that loss with a profit on the markets,
since the overall supply of the crop is short everywhere that suffered the same conditions.
Delivery and condition guarantees
In addition, delivery day, method of settlement and delivery point must all be specified.
Typically, trading must end two (or more) business days prior to the delivery day, so that the
routing of the shipment can be finalized via ship or rail, and payment can be settled when the
contract arrives at any delivery point.
1.2.4. DERIVATIVE MARKET:
13
-
14. A derivative instrument is a contract between two or three parties that specifies conditions
(especially the dates, resulting values of the underlying variables, and notional amounts) under
which payments are to be made between the parties.
Derivatives can be used for speculation ("bets") or to hedge ("insurance"). For example, a
speculator may sell deep in-the-money naked calls on a stock, expecting the stock price to
plummet, but exposing himself to potentially unlimited losses. Very commonly, companies buy
currency forwards in order to limit losses due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of two
currencies
Types
Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are contracts that are traded (and privately negotiated)
directly between two parties, without going through an exchange or other intermediary. Products
such as swaps, forward rate agreements, exotic options - and other exotic derivatives - are almost
always traded
Exchange-traded derivative contracts (ETD) are those derivatives instruments that are traded via
specialized derivatives exchanges or other exchanges. A derivatives exchange is a market where
individuals Common derivative contract types
Some of the common variants of derivative contracts are as follows:
Forwards: A tailored contract between two parties, where payment takes place at a specific time
in the future at today's pre-determined price.
Futures: are contracts to buy or sell an asset on or before a future date at a price specified today.
A futures contract differs from a forward contract in that the futures contract is a standardized
contract written by a clearing house that operates an exchange where the contract can be bought
and sold; the forward contract is a non-standardized contract written by the parties themselves.
Options: are contracts that give the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy (in the case of
a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) an asset. The price at which the sale takes place
is known as the strike price, and is specified at the time the parties enter into the option. The
option contract also specifies a maturity date. In the case of a European option, the owner has the
right to require the sale to take place on (but not before) the maturity date; in the case of an
American option, the owner can require the sale to take place at any time up to the maturity date.
If the owner of the contract exercises this right, the counter-party has the obligation to carry out
the transaction. Options are of two types: call option and put option. The buyer of a Call option
has a right to buy a certain quantity of the underlying asset, at a specified price on or before a
given date in the future, he however has no obligation whatsoever to carry out this right.
Similarly, the buyer of a Put option has the right to sell a certain quantity of an underlying asset,
14
-
15. at a specified price on or before a given date in the future, he however has no obligation
whatsoever to carry out this right.
Binary options are contracts that provide the owner with an all-or-nothing profit profile.
Warrants: Apart from the commonly used short-dated options which have a maximum maturity
period of 1 year, there exists certain long-dated options as well, known as Warrant (finance).
These are generally traded over-the-counter.
Swaps: are contracts to exchange cash (flows) on or before a specified future date based on the
underlying value of currencies exchange rates, bonds/interest rates, commodities exchange,
stocks or other assets. Another term which is commonly associated to Swap is Swaption which is
basically an option on the forward Swap. Similar to a Call and Put option, a Swaption is of two
kinds: a receiver Swaption and a payer Swaption. While on one hand, in case of a receiver
Swaption there is an option wherein you can receive fixed and pay floating, a payer swaption on
the other hand is an option to pay fixed and receive floating.
Swapscan basically be categorized into two types:
Interest Rate Swap: These basically necessitate swapping only interest associated cash flows in
the same currency, between two parties.
Currency swap: In this kind of swapping, the cash flow between the two parties includes both
principal and interest. Also, the money which is being swapped is in different currency for both
parties. Trade standardized contracts that have been defined by the exchange.in this way.
1.2.5. CURRENCY MARKET
The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a form of exchange for the
global decentralized trading of international currencies. Financial centers around the world
function as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers
around the clock, with the exception of weekends. The foreign exchange market determines the
relative values of different currencies.
The foreign exchange market assists international trade and investment by enabling currency
conversion. For example, it permits a business in the United States to import goods from the
European Union member states especially Eurozone members and pay Euros, even though its
income is in United States dollars. It also supports direct speculation in the value of currencies,
and the carry trade, speculation based on the interest rate differential between two currencies.
The foreign exchange market is the most liquid financial market in the world. Traders include
large banks, central banks, institutional investors, currency speculators, corporations,
governments, other financial institutions, and retail investors. The average daily turnover in the
global foreign exchange and related markets is continuously growing. According to the 2010
15
-
16. Triennial Central Bank Survey, coordinated by the Bank for International Settlements, average
daily turnover was US$3.98 trillion in April 2010 (vs. $1.7 trillion in 1998).[3] Of this $3.98
trillion, $1.5 trillion was spot transactions and $2.5 trillion was traded in outright forwards,
swaps and other derivative.

1.2.6. INSURANCE:
Insurance is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent,
uncertain loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity
to another, in exchange for payment. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; the insured,
or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount to be charged for
a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium. Risk management, the practice of
appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.
The transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small loss in
the form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate
(indemnify) the insured in the case of a financial (personal) loss.
1.3. INDIAN FINANCIAL MARKETS
India Financial market is one of the oldest in the world and is considered to be the fastest
growing and best among all the markets of the emerging economies.
The history of Indian capital markets dates back 200 years toward the end of the 18th century
when India was under the rule of the East India Company. The development of the capital
market in India concentrated around Mumbai where no less than 200 to 250 securities brokers
were active during the second half of the 19th century.
The financial market in India today is more developed than many other sectors because it was
organized long before with the securities exchanges of Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Kolkata were
established as early as the 19th century.
17
-
18. By the early 1960s the total number of securities exchanges in India rose to eight, including
Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Kolkata apart from Madras, Kanpur, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune.
Today there are 21 regional securities exchanges in India in addition to the centralized NSE
(National Stock Exchange) and OTCEI (Over the Counter Exchange of India).
However the stock markets in India remained stagnant due to stringent controls on the market
economy that allowed only a handful of monopolies to dominate their respective sectors. The
corporate sector wasn't allowed into many industry segments, which were dominated by the state
controlled public sector resulting in stagnation of the economy right up to the early 1990s.
Thereafter when the Indian economy began liberalizing and the controls began to be dismantled
or eased out; the securities markets witnessed a flurry of IPO‟s that were launched. This resulted
in many new companies across different industry segments to come up with newer products and
services.
A remarkable feature of the growth of the Indian economy in recent years has been the role
played by its securities markets in assisting and fuelling that growth with money rose within the
economy. This was in marked contrast to the initial phase of growth in many of the fast growing
economies of East Asia that witnessed huge doses of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) spurring
growth in their initial days of market decontrol. During this phase in India much of the organized
sector has been affected by high growth as the financial markets played an all-inclusive role in
sustaining financial resource mobilization. Many PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) that
decided to offload part of their equity were also helped by the well-organized securities market
in India.
The launch of the NSE (National Stock Exchange) and the OTCEI (Over the Counter Exchange
of India) during the mid-1990s by the government of India was meant to usher in an easier and
more transparent form of trading in securities. The NSE was conceived as the market for trading
in the securities of companies from the large-scale sector and the OTCEI for those from the
small-scale sector. While the NSE has not just done well to grow and evolve into the virtual
backbone of capital markets in India the OTCEI struggled and is yet to show any sign of growth
and development. The integration of IT into the capital market infrastructure has been
particularly smooth in India due to the country‟s world class IT industry. This has pushed up the
operational efficiency of the Indian stock market to global standards and as a result the country
has been able to capitalize on its high growth and attract foreign capital like never before. The
regulating authority for capital markets in India is the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of
India). SEBI came into prominence in the 1990s after the capital markets experienced some
turbulence. It had to take drastic measures to plug many loopholes that were exploited by certain
market forces to advance their vested interests. After this initial phase of struggle SEBI has
grown in strength as the regulator of India‟s capital markets and as one of the country‟s most
important institutions.
18
-
19. 1.3.2. FINANCIAL MARKET REGULATIONS
Regulations are an absolute necessity in the face of the growing importance of capital markets
throughout the world. The development of a market economy is dependent on the development
of the capital market. The regulation of a capital market involves the regulation of securities;
these rules enable the capital market to function more efficiently and impartially.
A well regulated market has the potential to encourage additional investors to partake, and
contribute in, furthering the development of the economy. The chief capital market regulatory
authority is Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
SEBI is the regulator for the securities market in India. It is the apex body to develop and
regulate the stock market in India It was formed officially by the Government of India in 1992
with SEBI Act 1992 being passed by the Indian Parliament. Chaired by C.B Behave, SEBI is
headquartered in the popular business district of Bandra-Kurla complex in Mumbai, and has
Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western regional offices
in New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad. In place of Government Control, a statutory
and autonomous regulatory board with defined responsibilities, to cover both development &
regulation of the market, and independent powers has been set up.
The basic objectives of the Board were identified as:
• To protect the interests of investors in securities;
• To promote the development of Securities Market;
•To regulate the securities market and
• For matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Since its inception SEBI has been working targeting the securities and is attending to the
fulfillment of its objectives with commendable zeal and dexterity. The improvements in the
securities markets like capitalization requirements, margining, establishment of clearing
corporations etc. reduced the risk of credit and also reduced the market.
SEBI has introduced the comprehensive regulatory measures, prescribed registration norms, the
eligibility criteria, the code of obligations and the code of conduct for different intermediaries
like, bankers to issue, merchant bankers, brokers and sub brokers, registrars, portfolio managers,
credit rating agencies, underwriters and others. It has framed by-laws, risk identification and risk
management systems for Clearing houses of stock exchanges, surveillance system etc. which has
made dealing in securities both safe and transparent to the end investor.
19
-
20. Another significant event is the approval of trading in stock indices (like S&P CNX Nifty
&Sensex) in 2000. A market index is a convenient and effective product because of the
following reasons:
• It acts as a barometer for market behavior;
• It is used to benchmark portfolio performance;
• It is used in derivative instruments like index futures and index options;
•It can be used for passive fund management as in case of Index Funds.
Two broad approaches of SEBI is to integrate the securities market at the national level, and also
to diversify the trading products, so that there is an increase in number of traders including
banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, primary dealers etc. to transact
through the Exchanges. In this context the introduction of derivatives trading through Indian
Stock Exchanges permitted by SEBI in 2000 AD is a real landmark.
SEBI has enjoyed success as a regulator by pushing systemic reforms aggressively and
successively (e.g. the quick movement towards making the markets electronic and paperless
rolling settlement on T+2 bases). SEBI has been active in setting up the regulations as required
under law.
1.4. STOCK EXCHANGES IN INDIA
Stock Exchanges are an organized marketplace, either corporation or mutual organization, where
members of the organization gather to trade company stocks or other securities. The members
may act either as agents for their customers, or as principals for their own accounts.
As per the Securities Contracts Regulation Act, 1956 a stock exchange is an association,
organization or body of individuals whether incorporated or not, established for the purpose of
assisting, regulating and controlling business in buying, selling and dealing in securities.
Stock exchanges facilitate for the issue and redemption of securities and other financial
instruments including the payment of income and dividends. The record keeping is central but
trade is linked to such physical place because modern markets are computerized. The trade on an
exchange is only by members and stock broker do have a seat on the exchange.

23. INDUSTRY PROFILE
2.1. INTRODUCTION
The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that have been around even
before the establishment of the BSE in 1875. Despite passing through number of changes in the
post liberalization period, the industry has found its way onwards sustainable growth. With the
purpose of gaining a deeper understanding about the role of the Indian stock broking industry in
the country‟s economy, we present in this section some of the industry insights gleaned from
analysis of data received through primary research.
For the broking industry, we started with an initial database of over 1,800 broking firms that
were contacted, from which 464 responses were received. The list was further short listed based
on the number of terminals and the top 210 were selected for profiling. 394 responses, that
provided more than 85% of the information sought have been included for this analysis presented
here as insights. All the data for the study was collected through responses received directly from
the broking firms. The insights have been arrived at through an analysis on various parameters,
pertinent to the equity broking industry, such as region, terminal, market, branches, sub brokers,
products and growth areas.
Some key characteristics of the sample 394 firms are:
• 3% firms started broking operations before 1950, 65% between 1950-1995 and 32% post
1995.
• On the basis of terminals, 40% are located at Mumbai, 12% in Delhi, 8% in Ahmedabad,
7% in Kolkata, 4% in Chennai and 29% are from other cities
• From this study, we find that almost 36% firm‟s trade in cash and derivatives and 27%
are into cash markets alone. Around 20% trade in cash, derivatives and commodities
• In the cash market, around 34% firm‟s trade at NSE, 14% at BSE and 52% trade at both

38. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Grewal S.S and NavjotGrewall (1984)revealed some basic investment rules and rules for
selling shares. They warned the investors not to buy unlisted shares, as Stock Exchanges do not
permit trading in unlisted shares. Another rule that they specify is not to buy inactive shares, ie,
shares in which transactions take place rarely. The main reason why shares are inactive is
because there are no buyers for them. They are mostly shares of companies, which are not doing
well.
Jack Clark Francis2 (1986) revealed the importance of the rate of return in investments and
reviewed the possibility of default and bankruptcy risk. He opined that in an uncertain world,
investors cannot predict exactly what rate of return an investment will yield. However he
suggested that the investors can formulate a probability distribution of the possible rates of
return. He also opined that an investor who purchases corporate.
Similarly Chen et al. (1986) applied an APT model to test the significance of various factors in
explaining security returns. They used the monthly data for the period 1953-1983; the results
specified that the factors like spread between long and short interest rates, expected and
unexpected inflation, industrial production, and the spread between returns on high- and low-
grade bonds were significant in explaining the variability of a security return
David.L.Scott and WilliamEdward4 (1990) reviewed the important risks of owning common
stocks and theways to minimize these risks. They commented that the severity of financial risk
depends on how heavily a business relies on debt. Financial risk is relatively easy to minimize
if an investor sticks to the common stocks of companies that employ small amounts of debt.
They suggested that a relativelyeasy way to ensure some degree of liquidity is to restrict
investment in stocks having a history of adequate trading volume. Investors concerned about
business risk can reduce it by selecting common stocks of firms that are diversified in several
unrelated industries.
38
-
39. Philippe Jhorion and Sarkis Joseph Khouryl6 (1996) reviewed international factors of risks
and their effect on financial markets. He opined that domestic investment is a subset of the
global asset allocation decision and that it is impossible to evaluate the risk of domestic
securities without reference to international factors. Investors must be aware of factors driving
stock prices and the interaction between movements in stock prices and exchange rates.
According to them the financial markets have become very much volatile over the last decade
due to the unpredictable speedy changes like oil price shocks, drive towards economic and
monetary unification in Europe, the wide scale conversion of communist countries to free
market policies etc. They emphasized the need for tightly controlled risk management measures
to guard against the unpredictable behavior of financial markets.

Most of the people are satisfied with the product and services of the company.
People also invest in others companies. They invest in different markets of the company
like commodity, equity, currency, mutual funds, loans, insurance etc.
“Brand” plays important role for the investment. People invest in those Companies where
they have faith or they are well known with them.
7.2. Suggestions
The companies should provide more advertisements about their product so that people
invest more and they come to know about their investments plans and procedures.
Financial market is so wide so people don‟t know where to invest and how these
investment plans is profitable to them so procedure should be easy and guidance should
be given to them.
As per findings we know that the people invest less in currency and commodity market
so directors of the regional stock exchanges and FMC should find some ways in order to
make educated the investor about the market.
