EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.INTRODUCTION
This summer project which is on how to create and manage portfolio, and know investor perception about investment in capital market which is most useful for me. This project Increase my knowledge and ability to understand external forces of environment. Have you ever wondered how the rich got their wealth and then kept it growing? Do you dream of retiring early (or of being able to retire at all)? Do you know that you should invest, but don't know where to start? . There are many different ways you can go about making an investment. This includes putting money into stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate (among many other things), or starting your own business. Sometimes people refer to these options as "investment vehicles," which is just another way of saying "a way to invest." Each of these vehicles has positives and negatives, which we'll discuss in a later section of this tutorial. The point is that it doesn't matter which method you choose for investing your money, the goal is always to put your money to work so it earns you an additional profit. Even though this is a simple idea, it's the most important concept for you to understand. The world of finance can be extremely intimidating, but we firmly believe that the stock market and greater financial world won't seem so complicated once you learn some of the language and major concepts.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
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 countrys 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 customers and employees of 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.

NATURE OF STUDY
Investment management is the professional management of various securities (shares, bonds and other securities) and assets (e.g., real estate) in order to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations, charities, educational establishments etc.) or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via collective investment schemes e.g. mutual funds or exchange-traded The business of investment has several facets, the employment of professional fund managers, research (of individual assets and asset classes), dealing, settlement, marketing, internal auditing, and the preparation of reports for clients. The largest financial fund managers are firms that exhibit all the complexity their size demands. Apart from the people who bring in the money (marketers) and the people who direct investment (the fund managers), there are compliance staff (to ensure accord with legislative and regulatory constraints), internal auditors of various kinds (to examine internal systems and controls), financial controllers (to account for the institutions' own money and costs), computer experts, and "back office" employees (to track and record transactions funds). The term asset management is often used to refer to the investment management of collective investments, while the more generic fund management may refer to all forms of institutional investment as well as investment management for private investors. Investment managers who specialize in advisory or discretionary management on behalf of (normally wealthy) private investors may often refer to their services as wealth management or portfolio management often within the context of so-called "private banking". The provision of investment management services includes elements of financial statement analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments. Coming under the remit of financial services many of the world's largest companies are at least in part investment managers and employ millions of staff. Fund manager (or investment adviser in the United States) refers to both a firm that provides investment management services and an individual who directs fund management decisions and fund valuations for up to thousand s of clincts per institution.) 14

C.INVESTMENT BASICS
35
SHARES Meaning: - A share or stock is a document issued by a company, which entitles its holder to
be one of the owners of the company. A share is issued by a company or can be purchased from the stock market. By owning a share you can earn a portion and selling shares you get capital gain. So, your return is the dividend plus the capital gain. However, you also run a risk of making a capital loss if you have sold the share at a price below your buying price.
Every transaction in the stock exchange is carried out through licensed members called brokers.
36
To trade in shares, you have to approach a broker However, since most stock exchange brokers deal in very high volumes, they generally do not entertain small investors. These brokers have a network of sub-brokers who provide them with orders. The general investors should identify a sub-broker for regular trading in shares and place his order for purchase and sale through the sub-broker. The sub/broker will transmit the order to his broker who will then execute it .
Derivatives
Introduction
A derivative is a contract/product that has no independent value i.e.: it derives its value from the underlying asset. Underlying asset can be securities, commodities, bullion, currency, live stock or anything else. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value depends on other, more basic, underlying variables. The variables underlying could be prices of traded securities and stock, prices of gold or copper, prices of oranges to even the amount of snow that falls on a ski resort. Derivatives have become increasingly important in the field of finance. Options and futures are traded actively on many exchanges. Forward contracts, swaps and different types of options are regularly traded outside exchanges by financial institutions, banks and their corporate clients in what are termed as over-the-counter markets i.e. there is no single market place or an organized exchange In other words, derivatives means forward, futures, option or any other hybrid contract of pre determined fixed duration, linked for the purpose of contract fulfillment to the value of specified real or financial asset or to index of securities. In the international market, various derivatives products are traded. To start with, we need to understand three products, namely forward, futures and options.
37
Concept
Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic variables. Underlying Asset can be Equity, Forex, commodity or any other asset.
Types of Derivatives
Forwards Futures Options SWAPS
Forwards
A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities, where settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at todays pre-agreed price. Forward contract is a one to one bipartite contract, which is to be performed in future cover the currency risk. Forward contracts being negotiated by the parties on one to one basis, offer the tremendous flexibility to them to articulate the contract in terms of price, quantity, quality, delivery time and place. However, forward contracts suffer from poor liquidity and default risk at the terms decided today. Forward contracts are being used in India on large scale in the foreign exchange market to
Futures
Future contracts are the organized/standardized contracts in terms of quantity, quality, delivery time and place for settlement on any date in future. These contracts are traded on exchanges. Futures trading entail liquid investments that allow investors to purchase or sell assets at specified prices or at later dates. Based upon the anticipated price of the future, futures contracts can be drawn up for various markets. In simple words:
38
A future is contracting to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specified future date, at a specified price. These contracts are traded and settled on exchanges. Future contracts can be on individual scrips or indices.
Futures terminology
39
Spot Price Futures Price Expiry Date Contract Cycle -One month -Two month -Three month
Options
An option is a contract, which gives the buyer (holder) the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell specified quantity of the underlying assets, at a specific (strike) price on or before a specified time (expiration date). The underlying may be physical commodities like wheat/ rice/ cotton/ gold/ oil or financial instruments like equity stocks/ stock index/ bonds etc. In simple words:
Options are derivative instruments where one party has a right to buy/sell the underlying while the other party has an obligation to buy/sell The person with the right is called the buyer of the option. The person with the obligation is called the writer of the option.
Risks in Options
The risk/ loss of an option buyer is limited to the premium that he has paid. An option holder who neither sells his option in the secondary market nor exercises it prior to its expiration loses his entire investment (Premium), in the option. The risk of an Options Writer however is unlimited where his gains are limited to the Premiums earned. The writer of an uncovered call is in an extremely risky position and may incur large losses if the value of the underlying asset increases above the exercise price. The potential loss is unlimited for the writer of an uncovered call. When a physical delivery uncovered call is assigned an exercise, the writer will have to purchase the underlying asset to meet his call obligation and his loss will
40
be the excess of the purchase price over the exercise price of the call reduced by the premium received for writing the call. (In the case of a cash-settled option, the loss will be the cash settlement amount reduced by the premium.) As with writing uncovered calls, the risk of writing put options is substantial. The writer of a put option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying asset declines below the exercise price, and such loss could be substantial if the decline is significant. The writer of a put bears the risk of a decline in the price of the underlying interest-potentially to zero. Since the leverage inherent in an option can cause the impact of price changes in the underlying asset to be magnified in the price of the option, a writer of an option that is uncovered and unhedged may have a significantly greater risk than a short seller of the underlying interest.
Types of Options
Call Option: A call option gives the holder (buyer/ one who is long call), the right to
buy specified quantity of the underlying asset at a specified price on or before a specified time. The seller (one who is short call ) however, has the obligation to sell the underlying asset if the buyer of the call option decides to exercise his option to buy. The buyer of a call option acquires the right but not the obligation to purchase a particular futures contract at a stated price on or before a particular date.
Put Option: A Put option gives the holder (buyer/ one who is long Put), the right to
sell specified quantity of the underlying asset at a specified price on or before a specified time. The seller (one who is short Put) however, has the obligation to buy the underlying asset if the buyer of the put option decides to exercise his option to sell.

MUTUAL FUND
History of Mutual Fund in India
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was the first mutual fund set up in India in the year 1963. In early 1990s, Government allowed public sector banks and institutions to set up mutual funds. UTI has an extensive marketing network of over 40,000 agents all over the country. In the year 1992, Securities and exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act was passed. The objectives of SEBI are to protect the interest of investors in securities and to promote the development of and to regulate the securities market. In 1995, the RBI permitted private sector institutions to set up Money Market Mutual Funds (MMMFs). They can invest in treasury bills, call and notice money, commercial paper, commercial bills accepted/co-accepted by banks, certificates of deposit and dated government securities having unexpired maturity up to one year. As far as mutual funds are concerned, SEBI formulates policies and regulates the mutual funds to protect the interest of the investors. SEBI notified regulations for the mutual funds in 1993. Thereafter, mutual funds sponsored by private sector entities were allowed to enter the capital market. The regulations were fully revised in 1996 and have been amended thereafter from time to time. SEBI has also issued guidelines to the mutual funds from time to time to protect the interests of investors. All mutual funds whether promoted by public sector or private sector entities including those promoted by foreign entities are governed by the same set of Regulations. There is no distinction in regulatory requirements for these mutual funds and all are subject to monitoring and inspections by SEBI. The risks associated with the schemes launched by the mutual funds sponsored by these entities are of similar type.

The investment manager would invest the money collected from the investor in to assets that are defined/ permitted by the stated objective of the scheme. For example, an equity fund would invest equity and equity related instruments and a debt fund would invest in bonds, debentures, gilts etc . Mutual Fund is a 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 a group of investors operating through a fund manager to purchase a diverse portfolio of stocks or bonds. There are myriad kinds of mutual funds, each with its own goals and methodologies. Whether or not a mutual fund is a good investment is a matter of much public debate, with many claiming they are excellent for the average person, and others saying they are simply a poor way to invest. A mutual fund may be either an actively managed fund or an indexed mutual fund. Actively managed funds are changed on a regular basis by a fund manager in the attempt to maximize their profitability. They fund manager looks at the market and the sectors a fund 49
invests in and redistributes the fund accordingly. An indexed fund simply takes one of the major indexes and buys according to that index. Indexed funds change much less frequently than actively managed funds, but in theory an active fund has more potential for profit. Many critics of mutual funds point out that scarcely over 20% of mutual funds outperform the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. This means that nearly 80% of the time, an investor would have been more profitable by simply buying equal shares in all 500 of the companies currently on the S&P 500. Supporters point out that for most people the complications involved in traditional investment are simply not worth the effort. A mutual fund offers an easy way to invest in something with a higher return than, say, interest earned at the bank, while keeping funds somewhat fluid. It also eliminates the need to track the market oneself. There are more types of mutual fund available than there are publicly traded stocks, making the process of choosing one a somewhat daunting prospect for most people. In general, it is good to look at a few types of mutual fund that catch your eye and investigate them to see if they fit your needs. The length of time you want to remain invested, associated costs, tax status, and whether a fund is closed- or open-ended may all prove important. The sector of investment for a mutual fund may also be something you want to look at. Many sector funds exist, and they are most often the top-performing mutual funds in a given year. The problem, of course, is guessing which sector will next see uniform growth, and avoiding sectors that can be hard-hit by single events . In other words A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. 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 appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in proportion to 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. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:

51
Schemes according to Maturity Period: A mutual fund scheme can be classified into open-ended scheme or close-ended scheme depending on its maturity period.
52
Open-ended Fund: An open-ended Mutual fund is one that is available for subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis. These Funds do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can conveniently buy and sell units at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices, which are declared on a daily basis. The key feature of open-end schemes is liquidity. Close-ended Fund: A close-ended Mutual fund has a stipulated maturity period e.g. 5-7 years. The fund is open for subscription only during a specified period at the time of launch of the scheme. Investors can invest in the scheme at the time of the initial public issue and thereafter they can buy or sell the units of the scheme on the stock exchanges where the units are listed. In order to provide an exit route to the investors, some close-ended funds give an option of selling back the units to the mutual fund through periodic repurchase at NAV related prices. SEBI Regulations stipulate that at least one of the two exit routes is provided to the investor i.e. either repurchase facility or through listing on stock exchanges. These mutual funds schemes disclose NAV generally on weekly basis.
53
funds also allow the investors to change the options at a later date. Growth schemes are good for investors having a long-term outlook seeking appreciation over a period of time. Income / Debt Oriented Scheme The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady income to investors. Such schemes generally invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, corporate debentures, Government securities and money market instruments. Such funds are less risky compared to equity schemes. These funds are not affected because of fluctuations in equity markets. However, opportunities of capital appreciation are also limited in such funds. The NAVs of such funds are affected because of change in interest rates in the country. If the interest rates fall, NAVs of such funds are likely to increase in the short run and vice versa. However, long term investors may not bother about these fluctuations.

The Challenge
How does Company provide top quality customer service?
64
Customer service?
Principle Two
Dont make customer run from pillar to post Recall your experience in rationing office. One single phone call from customer should Solve his problem.
Principle Three
Under promise and over deliver
Principle Four
Mere smile is not enough, you must deliver solutions.
Lack of Knowledge and No Plan It amazes us that some people expect to trade the stock market successfully without any effort. Yet if they want to take up golf, for example, they will happily take some lessons or at least read a book before heading out onto the course. The stock market is not the place for the ill informed. But learning what you need is straightforward you just need someone to show you the way. The opposite extreme of this is those traders who spend their life looking for the Holy Grail of trading! Been there, done that! The truth is, there is no Holy Grail. But the good news is that you don't need it. Our trading system is highly successful, easy to learn and low risk.
Unrealistic Expectations
Many novice traders expect to make a gazillion dollars by next Thursday. Or they start to write out their resignation letter before they have even placed their first trade! Now, don't get us wrong. The stock market can be a great way to replace your current income and for creating wealth but it does require time. Not a lot, but some. So doesnt tell your boss where to put his job, just yet! Other beginners think that trading can be 100% accurate all the time. Of course this is unrealistic. But the best thing is that with our methods you only need to get 50-60% of your trades "right" to be successful and highly profitable.
Listening to Others
66
When traders first start out they often feel like they know nothing and that everyone else have the answers. So they listen to all the news reports and so called "experts" and get totally confused. And they take "tips" from their buddy, who got it from some cab driver We will show you how you can get to know everything you need to know and so never have to listen to anyone else, ever again!
Most new traders only learn how to trade a rising market. And very few traders know really good strategies for trading in a falling market. If you don't learn to trade "both" sides of the market, you are drastically limiting the number of trades you can take. And this limits the amount of money you can make.

79
LIMITATIONS
1. The most obvious disadvantage of active management is that the fund manager may make bad investment choices or follow an unsound theory in managing the portfolio. 2. The fees associated with active management are also higher than those associated with passive management, even if frequent trading is not present. 3. Those who are considering investing in an actively-managed mutual fund should evaluate the fund's prospectus carefully. 4. 4Data from recent decades demonstrates that the majority of actively-managed large and mid-cap stock funds in United States fail to outperform their passive stock index counterparts.[4] 5. Active fund management strategies that involve frequent trading generate higher transaction costs which diminish the fund's return. In addition, the short-term capital gains resulting from frequent trades often have an unfavorable income tax impact when such funds are held in a taxable account. 6. When the asset base of an actively-managed fund becomes too large, it begins to take on index-like characteristics because it must invest in an increasingly diverse set of investments instead of those limited to the fund manager's best ideas. 7. Many mutual fund companies close their funds before they reach this point, but there is potential for a conflict of interest between mutual fund management and shareholders because closing the fund will result in a loss of income (management fees) for the mutual fund company.
