In 12th Century France, the courratiers de change dealt with managing and
regulating the debts of agricultural communities on behalf of the banks. They can be referred
to as the first brokers, because they only dealt with debts. The people of Flanders and the
neighboring counties also implemented this idea, and Beurzen was soon introduced in Ghent
& Amsterdam.
Later, joint stock companies were started in the Netherlands. This provided
shareholders the opportunities to invest in business ventures and get a contribution of their
profits or losses. In 1602, the Dutch East India Company issued their first shares through the
Amsterdam Stock Exchange, and it was the first company to issue stocks and bonds. A stock
exchange in London started trading stocks in 1688. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange (or
Amsterdam Beurs) was the first stock exchange to introduce continuous trading in the earlier
part of the 17th Century. According to Murray Sayle, the Dutch were the originators of short
selling, option trading, debt-equity, swaps, merchant banking, unit trusts, and other
speculative instruments. Stock markets are currently present in every developed and most
developing country, but the biggest stock market.
SHARE MARKET
Figure 1.1.1
SHARE MARKET
PRIMARY MARKET
The primary market, also called the new issue market, is the market for issuing new
securities. Many companies, especially small and medium scale, enter the primary market to raise
money from the public to expand their businesses. They sell their securities to the public through an
Initial Public Offering. The securities can be directly bought from the shareholders, which is not the
case for the secondary market. The primary market is a market for new capitals that will be traded
over a longer period. In the primary market, securities are issued on an exchange basis.
SECONDARY MARKET
The secondary market has an important role to play behind the developments of an efficient
capital market. Secondary market connects investors' favoritism for liquidity with the capital
users' wish of using their capital for a longer period... Example of Secondary market: In the
New York Stock Exchange, in the United States of America, all the securities belong to the
secondary market.
STOCK BROKER
Stock broker can be either a person or a firm that trades in the stock market on behalf of its
clients. Stock brokers are responsible for issuing the buy or sell orders in the stock market
when their clients ask them to do so. They do all the buying and selling of securities for their
customers by charging a fee called a Brokerage.
Figure 1.1.2
STOCK BROKER
A Full-Service Broker provides their clients with various financial services depending on
the requirements of the clients. The services provided by them may be Investment Research
Advice, Retirement Planning and Tax Planning.
A Discount Broker executes the client's instruction by buying or selling the stocks, but
refrains from offering any kind of investment or financial advice.
The Direct Access Brokers are those who make the client's trade directly with Electronic
Communication Networks (ECN's) making the trading much faster.

2.1 C O M P A N Y P R O F I L E
The Standard Chartered Bank is one of the leading banks and has its branches spread all over
the world. It provides excellent services and facilities to its customers. A majority of the
profit earned by the bank comes from its business operations related to Wholesale Banking
and Consumer Banking in Asia, Africa and Middle East countries.
The Chartered Bank was established by James Wilson after Queen Victoria granted the Royal
Charter in 1869. Along with this, the Standard Bank was established in 1862 by John
Paterson. Both the banks worked separately to survive the First World War and its
Depression. However, with the outbreak of the Second World War, the banks suffered heavy
losses. They also faced a lot of problems when the Asian and African countries became
independent as they had their branches there. However, in the year 1969, both the banks
decided to merge.
Standard Chartered is 150 years ago Bank was started in Kolkata, India. Its registered head
office is at London. Standard Chartered is a combination of many banks but main holding is
of Standard & Chartered .Standard Chartered is working in 70 different countries & from
Hong Kong itself they are earning the huge amount. With this Standard Chartered is the
Biggest Foreign Bank in World. In India, its office is in Goregaon. In India they have 194
branches available.
Securities Trading Corporation Of India Ltd. (STCI) was established by the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) in May 1994, jointly with public sector banks and all-India financial institutions
with the objective of fostering the development of an active secondary market for
Government securities and bonds issued by public sector undertakings, FI's, Corporate, etc.
The Company was incorporated with an authorised and paid up capital of Rs. 500 Crore of
which RBI contributed 50.18%.
STCI commenced business operations in June 1994 and started dealing in government
securities. On the introduction of the system of Primary Dealership in Government Securities,
in February 1996, STCI became one of the first two institutions to be accredited by the RBI
as a primary dealer in government securities. STCI took over UTI Securities Limited (now
Standard Chartered – STCI Capital Markets Limited) in April 2006 with a view to become a
financial conglomerate. However, as per extant RBI guidelines, primary dealers were not
allowed to have step-down subsidiaries. Accordingly, STCI hived off primary dealership as a
separate 100% subsidiary by the name of STCI Primary Dealer Limited. STCI continued to
be a registered Systemically Important Non–Banking Financial Company and a Loan and
Investment Company.
STCI, in order to have a strategic partner, sold 49% of its stake in UTI Securities Limited to
Standard Chartered Bank (Mauritius) Limited in January, 2008. As banks are not allowed to
trade in commodities, STCI took 100% stake in STCI Commodities Ltd from UTI Securities
Ltd with RBI’s permission, making it a fully-owned subsidiary. Subsequently, in December,
2008, STCI sold further stake in Standard Chartered – STCI Capital Markets Limited

Speculation in derivative market
De-mat Account is opened by the investor while registering with an investment broker (or
sub broker). The De-mat account number which is quoted for all transactions to enable
electronic settlements of trades to take place.
India has adopted this system in which book entry is done electronically. It is the
system where no paper is involved. Physical form is extinguished and shares or securities are
held in electronic mode. Before the introduction of the depository system by the Depository
Act, 1996, the process of sale, purchase and transfer of shares was a huge problem and the
safety perspective was zero.
Advantages of De-mat
also avoid stamp duty (as against 0.5 per cent payable on physical shares), avoid filling up of
transfer deeds, and obtain quick receipt of such benefits as stock splits and bonuses.
De-mat Benefits
The depository system helps in reducing the cost of new issues due to less printing
and distribution cost. It increases the efficiency of the registrars and transfer agents and the
Secretarial Department of the company. It provides better facilities for communication and
timely services with shareholders, investor etc.
The depository system reduces risks involved in holding physical certificated, e.g.,
loss, theft, mutilation, forgery, etc. It ensures transfer settlements and reduces delay in
registration of shares. It ensures faster communication to investors. It helps avoid bad
delivery problem due to signature differences, etc. It ensures faster payment on sale of shares.
No stamp duty is paid on transfer of shares. It provides more acceptability and liquidity of
securities.
Benefit to Brokers
The depository system reduces risk of delayed settlement. It ensures greater profit
due to increase in volume of trading. It eliminates chances of forgery – bad delivery. It
increases overall of trading and profitability .It increases confidence in investor.
Disadvantages of De-mat
It is incumbent upon the capital market regulator to keep a close watch on the trading
in dematerialized securities and see to it that trading does not act as a detriment to
investors.
The role of key market players in case of dematerialized securities, such as stock-
brokers needs to be supervised as they have the capability of manipulating the market.
Depository participant submits the certificates to the registrar of the Issuer Company.
Registrar confirms the dematerialisation request from depository.
De-mat Options
Banks score over others Around 200 “depository participants” (DPs) offer the De-
mat account facility. A comparison of the fees charged by different DPs is detailed below.
But there are three distinct advantages of having a De-mat account with a bank — quick
processing, accessibility and online transaction. Generally, banks credit your De-mat account
with shares in case of purchase or credit your savings accounts with the proceeds of a sale on
the third day. Banks are also advantageous because of the number of branches they have.
Some banks give the option of opening a De-mat account in any branch, while others restrict
themselves to a select set of branches. Some private banks also provide online access to the
De-mat account. So, investor can check on your holdings, transactions and status of requests
through the net banking facility. A broker who acts as a DP may not be able to provide these
services.
Transaction fee.
Account-opening fee
Depending on the DP, there may or may not be an opening account fee. Private
Banks, such as ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and UTI Bank, do not have one. However, players
such as Globe Capital, Karvy Consultants and the State Bank of India do so. But most players
levy this when you re-open a De-mat account, though the Stock Holding Corporation offers a
lifetime account opening fee, which allows investor to hold on to investor De-mat account
over a long period. This fee is refundable.
Custodian fee
Transaction fee
In addition to the other fees, the DP also charges a fee for converting the
shares from the physical to the electronic form or vice-versa. This fee varies for both De-mat
and Re-mat requests. For De-mat, some DPs charge a flat fee per request in addition to the
variable fee per certificate, while others charge only the variable fee.
For instance, Stock Holding Corporation charges Rs 25 as the request fee and Rs 3 per
certificate as the variable fee. However, SBI charges only the variable fee, which is Rs 3 per
certificate. Re-mat requests also have charges akin to that of De-mat. However, variable
charges for Re-mat are generally higher than De-mat. Some of the additional features (usually
offered by banks) are as follows. Some DPs offer a frequent trader account, where they
charge frequent traders at lower rates than the standard charges .De-mat account holders are
generally required to pay the DP an advance fee for each account which will be adjusted
against the various service charges. The account holder needs to raise the balance when it
falls below a certain amount prescribed by the DP. However, if you also hold a savings
account with the DP you can provide a debit authorisation to the DP for paying this charge
finally, once you choose your DP, it will be prudent to keep all your accounts with that DP,
so that tracking your capital gains liability is easier. This is because, for calculating capital
gains tax, the period of holding will be determined by the DP and different DPs follow
different methods. For instance, Standard Chartered Bank uses the first in first out (FIFO)
method to compute the period of holding. The proof of the cost of acquisition will be the
contract note. The computation of capital gains is done account-wise.
Opening an account
Trading
Though trading accounts are traditionally thought to hold only stocks, a trading
account can hold cash, foreign cash, securities and a number of other types of
investments. Investors who use a number of trading strategies or have a number of brokerage
accounts may separate their accounts in order to avoid confusion. One account may be a
registered account for their retirement savings; another account may be a buy-and-hold
account for their long-term stocks; another may be a margin account; and another may be a
trading account used for conducting day-trading activities
Trading Platform
Software through which investors and traders can open, close and manage market
positions. Trading platforms are frequently offered by brokers either for free or at a discount
rate in exchange for maintaining a funded account and/or making a specified number of
trades per month. A trading platform is the software that allows investors and traders to place
trades and monitor accounts. Oftentimes, trading platforms will incorporate market analysis
software as well, whereby traders and investors can chart the markets and perform stock
screens.
Trading Channel
When charting the price of an asset, this is the space on the chart between an
asset's support and resistance levels. The price of the asset will stay within the support and
resistance levels until a breakout occurs.
Range traders will buy an asset when its price is near the bottom of the trading
channel and sell it when the price gets close to the top of the trading channel, making a profit
on the price spread. Trading channels may be flat, ascending or descending.

Portfolio Management
The art and science of making decisions about investment mix and policy,
matching investments to objectives, asset allocation for individuals and institutions, and
balancing risk against. performance. Portfolio management is all about strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats in the choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs. international, growth
vs. safety, and many other tradeoffs encountered in the attempt to maximize return at a given
appetite for risk.
In the case of mutual and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), there are two forms of
portfolio management: passive and active. Passive management simply tracks a market index,
commonly referred to as indexing or index investing. Active management involves a single
manager, co-managers, or a team of managers who attempt to beat the market return by
actively managing a fund's portfolio through investment decisions based on research and
decisions on individual holdings. Closed-end funds are generally actively managed.
Portfolio Manager
Portfolio Margin
The modern composite-margin requirements that must be maintained in a derivatives
account containing options and/or futures contracts. Portfolio margin accounting requires a
margin position that is equal to the remaining liability that exists after all offsetting positions
have been netted against each other. For example, if a position in the portfolio is netting a
positive return, then it could offset the liability of a losing position in the same portfolio. This
would reduce the overall margin requirement that is necessary for holding a losing
derivatives position.

Interpretation:
From the above survey most of the respondents prefer offline trading as they
are new to stock market. The other reason is that the lack of time, lack of knowledge to trader
who are trading from the years. & the main reason is lack of security in online trading i.e. the
people feel that any person can access the account & make the transaction as it is online
procedure. So they opt for the offline trading as whatever transaction is done by the broker is
done in front of the investor so he is satisfied with that & few people like to continue with
offline trading.

Conclusion:
The table value of 0.10 at 6 degree of freedom is 10.645 and the calculated value is 6.15.
Since the calculated value is less than the table value we can conclude that the Null
hypothesis is right.
I.e. “there is no significant difference between the services provided by the broker
house”.
6.1. FINDINGS
In this survey most of the questionnaires are filled from brokering houses where
clients sit on the terminal & trade in the stocks. As the data collected shows that people who
mostly invest in the market are businessmen & service class person who don’t have enough
time to keep continuous watch on the market fluctuation so they need regular assistance from
their relationship manager who is assigned to them so every company is suggested to enforce
their relationship managers to stay in contact with their clients. There are some No answer in
this survey because many time clients may be with his friend who don’t trade in the market &
that friend might be interested or not do the relationship manager in that brokerage firm must
take some extra care for them. Here difference is because of the presence of the friend of
client in the brokerage house who doesn’t want to trade in the stock market because he might
be afraid of losses or due to lack of resources. But if that friend has lack of time than the
relationship manager has to give a proper assistance & dedication to that person so that friend
can make himself to trade in the stocks.
As technology increases most of the people have less time to spend on the other
activities than their core business so most of the clients prefer online trading so they can put
their bids whenever they want as 24*7. In the case of online trading clients are not need to be
provided any kind of assistance from their relationship manager but if the dedicated
relationship manager provide them a good assistance can put that relationship manager & that
organization apart from their competitors. But even after the presence of internet some people
like to trade through offline mode reasons might be lack of knowledge or cost sensitive as
offline product is used to being at lower cost so here in offline that dedicated relationship
manager has to be in contact with his client. Most of the people look for moderate return
because of presence of risk well as the age group changes the risk-taking factor as age
increase people started investing in bonds where a fixed return is possible. As the data shows
most of the people were satisfied with their brokers because they are giving them profits on
their investment & they were ready to pay more to their brokers if they get some extra
services.
6.2. CONCLUSION
In spite of the bleak and grim outlook the future of capital market it is
growing at a very high pace. Taking this things into consideration there are lots of
opportunity for the Broker House which already exist and which are due to enter in the Indian
market. These are little awareness about Equity and Derivatives Market in India people has
accepted it as one of the major investment avenue. As people have entered in this particular
investment avenue they have lost their money because of movement in the market which is
below the par value and this has shaken the faith of investor in this particular avenue.
Another reason for low investment in this sector is due to country most of the companies not
performing well and also due to the scams that are taking place frequently Once people know
about the benefit offered by it, Capital market will become one the sought after investment
avenue. As far as other product marketed by Standard Chartered Wealth Mangers is
concerned they have a ready market. The only thing which is needed to focus on is that they
should have a strong marketing strategy so that prompt service and availability of forms is
made available to the investors at a short notice and if it keeps the traditional base for
marketing in India which is a price sensitive. Standard Chartered Wealth Mangers that has
a great future ahead.
Standard Chartered Wealth Mangers has emerged a very strong player in the
field of Distribution of Financial Product within a short period of one year in India and is
giving stiff competition to the entire player in the Mumbai & other parts. If the progress of
Standard Chartered Wealth Mangers goes in the same way then I can say that Standard
Chartered Wealth Mangers will go to emerge as a major player in the Capital market.
They have much more potential to expand their business and market in India.
