    Products and services:

    1.Equity & Derivatives Advisor:Derivative:

    A security whose price is dependent upon or derived from one or more

    underlying assets. The derivative itself is merely a contract between two or more

    parties. Its value is determined by fluctuations in the underlying asset. The most

    common underlying assets include stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies,

    interest rates and market indexes. One main use of Derivatives is as a tool fortransferring/reducing risk on a commodity/item.

    It is a financial contract with a value linked to the expected future price

    movements of the asset it is linked to - such as a share, or a currency.

    Say, I go to another electronics shop to buy a TV. After searching around I decide

    on a model that costs Rs. 26000/- Though I like the model I am not too sure if this

    is the best model for me and at the same time I am predicting the price of TV sets

    to come down in one week. Along with this I am also worried that if I do not buythis TV, somebody else may buy it. Thus, I talk to the salesman to put aside this TV

    for two weeks so that I can arrange cash and come for purchase. The salesman in

    return asks for a small non refundable deposit which I pay to block the TV in my

    name. If the price of the TV falls then I may not opt to buy the same TV but if I

    want I can always walk in to the shop after a few days make the payment and

    take the TV. This is effectively an "Options" contract, wherein I have the option of

    executing it at my will and wish. The shop owner took a non refundable deposit,

    which is to compensate for the few days that he may have to hold on to his item

    without selling it. Even if I do not go to buy the TV he would have made a meagerprofit.

    For example, the changing value of a crude oil futures contract depends primarily

    on the upward or downward movement of oil prices.

    Certain investors, called hedgers, are interested in the underlying instrument.

    For example, a baking company might buy wheat futures to help estimate the

    cost of producing its bread in the months to come.

    Hedging:

    One main use of Derivatives is as a tool for transferring/reducing risk on a

    commodity/item. Say you are a manufacturer who uses Rice as the ingredient in

    your product. You would not want the price or availability of Rice to affect your

    production in any way. You can decide to enter into a contract with a Rice farmer

    to buy a specified quantity of Rice in a future date say after 3 months at a

    specified price. Here you are hedging to reduce your risk of availability. The

    farmer would also be avoiding a risk of lack of prospective buyers. By entering

    into agreement with you, he has reduced that risk and he has a buyer who wouldbe buying his product on the agreed date at the agreed price. Of course there are

    some external factors that may cause the agreement to become null. For e.g., if

    due to a flood all his crops are destroyed, you cannot expect the farmer to honour

    the agreement. Similarly if you go bankrupt the farmer would have to find a new

    buyer for his products. So Derivatives can act as a tool to mitigate risk but it

    cannot help us avoid it altogether. Also this risk reduction will happen only

    between the two parties who are entering into the agreement. Any other

    manufacturer may end up without rice supplies or any other farmer may end up

    without buyers.

    EQUITY:

    What Does EquityMean?

    1. A stock or any other security representing an ownership interest.

    2. On a company's balance sheet, the amount of the funds contributed by the

    owners (the stockholders) plus the retained earnings (or losses). Also referred to

    of the property and the amount the owner still owes on the mortgage. It is the

    5. In terms of investment strategies, equity (stocks) is one of the principal asset

    Studying the LOGO:

    If we see the logo of India Infoline, there are clearly defined boundaries

    for each and every triangle. In the same way the company clearly

    studies and analyzes the market and gives advices on what is good and

    what is bad which makes it a good advisor to companies as well as

    investors.

    Here in this logo the triangles r connected 2gether as a network..Having a good network is very important in this financial world to trade

    in stock exchanges The company believes in this concept and does

    this.

    And the logo appears confusing at first... But when u observe it clearly n

    deeply, v can understand the exact pattern. In the same way while

    analyzing the market or a problem, India Infoline bifurcates and

    analyzes it layer by layer and reaches the root of the problem so that itcan give apt and correct advice to its clients

    India Infoline was the 1st

    corporate in India to get the agency license in early 2001
