Summary

Infrastructure IndustryInfrastructure Industry in India have been experiencing a rapid growth in

its different sectors with the development of urbanization and increasing

involvement of foreign investments in this field. The Indian government has

taken initiatives to develop the infrastructure sector, with major

emphasis on construction, engineering, IT, entertainment, textiles, food,and utility to name some.

Reports of different segments in Infrastructure Industry:

The section of the construction industry ofInfrastructure Industry in

India reported an estimated growth of 6.78% year-on-year in 2006. The

industry in India is highly fragmented and has about 300,000 construction

companies operating nationwide. The government has allowed 100%

foreign equity in the construction industry. Among the major

infrastructure projects are the US$7-8bn India-Iran gas pipeline, the

US$2.8bn construction of two power plants, and the US$2.3bn power

project in Tamil Nadu.

Heavy Engineering Industry is one of the largest segments of

Infrastructure Industry in India. It includes a whole range of industries

such as Heavy Electricity Machinery, Turbines, Generators, Transformers,

Switchgears, Textile Machinery etc. all of which are essential infrastructure

for the development of industrial sector in India. For proper industrial

development the utility commodities like the switchgear and control gear,

MCBs, air circuit breakers, switches, rewireable fuses and HRC fuses withtheir respective fuse bases, holders and starters are produced. Construction

machinery, equipment for irrigation projects, diesel engines, tractors, and

transport vehicles, cotton textile and sugar mill machinery are other

manufactured objects of great demand of the Infrastructure Industry.

Some major areas where these are in use are the multi-crore projections for

power generation like nuclear power stations, petrochemical complexes,

and chemical plants integrated steel plants, non-ferrous metal units etc. In

CHAPTER I - INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION


5/105

India is a developing country. Nowadays many people are interested to

invest in financial markets especially on equities to get high returns, and to

save tax in honest way. Equities are playing a major role in contribution ofcapital to the business from the beginning. Since the introduction of shares

concept, large numbers of investors are showing interest to invest in stock

market.

In an industry plagued with skepticism and a stock market increasingly difficult to

predict and contend with, if one looks hard enough there may still be a genuine aid for

the Day Trader and Short Term Investor.

The price of a security represents a consensus. It is the price at which one person agreesto buy and another agrees to sell. The price at which an investor is willing to buy or sell

depends primarily on his expectations. If he expects the security's price to rise, he will

buy it; if the investor expects the price to fall, he will sell it. These simple statements

are the cause of a major challenge in forecasting security prices, because they refer to

human expectations. As we all know firsthand, humans expectations are neither easily

quantifiable nor predictable. If prices are based on investor expectations, then knowing

what a security should sell for (i.e., fundamental analysis) becomes less important than

knowing what other investors expect it to sell for. That's not to say that knowing what a

security should sell for isn't important--it is. But there is usually a fairly strong

consensus of a stock's future earnings that the average investor cannot disprove

Fundamental analysis and technical analysis can co-exist in peace and complement

each other. Since all the investors in the stock market want to make the maximum

profits possible, they just cannot afford to ignore either fundamental or technical

analysis.

NEED OF THE STUDY

To start any business capital plays major role. Capital can be acquired in

two ways by issuing shares or by taking debt from financial institutions or

borrowing money from financial institutions. The owners of the company

have to pay regular interest and principal amount at the end.

Stock is ownership in a company, with each share of stock representing a

tiny piece of ownership. The more shares you own, the more of the

company you own. The more shares you own, the more dividends you earn

when the company makes a profit. In the financial world, ownership is

called Equity.

Advantages of selling stock:

A company can raise more capital than it could borrow.

A company does not have to make periodic interest payments to

creditors.

A company does not have to make principal payments

Stock/shares play a major role in acquiring capital to the business in return

investors are paid dividends to the shares they own. The more shares you

own the more dividends you receive.

The role of equity analysis is to provide information to the market. An

efficient market relies on information: a lack of information creates

inefficiencies that result in stocks being misrepresented (over or under

valued). This is valuable because it fills information gaps so that each


7/105

individual investor does not need to analyze every stock thereby making

the markets more efficient.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

Analyze earnings persistence,its determinants,and its relevance for

earnings forecasting.

Analyze the impact of qualitative factors on industrys and companys

prospects.

Comparative analysis of tough competitors through fundamental

analysis.

Suggesting as to which companys shares would be best for an

investor to invest.

Describe equity valuation and its relevance for financial

analysis.

Explain recasting and adjusting of earnings and earnings

components for analysis.

Explain earnings forecasting,its mechanics,and its effectiveness

in assessing company performance.

Analyze interim reports and consider their value in monitoring

and revising earnings estimates.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY


8/105

Fundmental analysis is the corner stone of investing.Infact ,some would say

that you arent really investing if you arent performing fundamental

analysis.Because the subject is so broad,however,its tough to know

where to start.

Fundamental analysis helps to assess the fair market value of equity shares

by examining the assets,earnings prospects, cash flow projections, and

dividend potential.

Here the study conducted at SHARE KHAN LTD is made toanalyze the price fluctuating in the stock market.For this purpose Ihave choosen the major sector i.e INFRASTRUCTURE.Five topconstruction companies are considered from this sector for thestudy purpose.

. The project is based on tools like fundamental analysis and ratio analysis.

Further, the study is based on information of last five years.

The analysis is made by taking into consideration five constructuction

companies i.e. .LARSEN&TOUBRO,DLF,HINDUSTAN CONSTRUCTION

COMPANY,PUNJ Lloyd,GAMMON INDIA.

The scope of the study is limited for a period of five years.

The scope is limited to only the fundamental analysis of the chosen

stocks.

METHODOLOGY

Research design or research methodology is the procedure of collecting,

analyzing and interpreting the data to diagnose the problem and react to

the opportunity in such a way where the costs can be minimized and the

desired level of accuracy can be achieved to arrive at a particular

conclusion.

The methodology used in the study for the completion of the project and

the fulfillment of the project objectives.

The sample of the stocks for the purpose of collecting secondary data has

been selected on the basis of Random Sampling. The stocks are chosen in

an unbiased manner and each stock is chosen independent of the other

stocks chosen. The stocks are chosen from the automobile sector.


10/105

The sample size for the number of stocks is taken as 5 for

fundamental analysis of stocks as fundamental analysis is very

exhaustive and requires detailed study.

LIMITATIONS

This study has been conducted purely to understand Equity analysis

for investors.

The study is restricted to five companies based on Fundamental

analysis.

The study is limited to the companies having equities.

Detailed study of the topic was not possible due to limited size of the

project.


11/105

There was a constraint with regard to time allocation for the research

study i.e. for a period of 45 days.

Suggestions and conclusions are based on the limited data of five

years.

SECURITY ANALYSIS

Investment success is pretty much a matter of careful selection and timing

of stock purchases coupled with perfect matching to an individuals risk

tolerance. In order to carry out selection, timing and matching actions an

investor must conduct deep security analysis.

Investors purchase equity shares with two basic objectives;

1. To make capital profits by selling shares at higher prices.

2. To earn dividend income.

These two factors are affected by a host of factors. An investor has to

carefully understand and analyze all these factors. There are basically two

approaches to study security prices and valuation i.e. fundamental analysis

and technical analysis

The value of common stock is determined in large measure by the

performance of the firm that issued the stock. If the company is healthy and

can demonstrate strength and growth, the value of the stock will increase.

When values increase then prices follow and returns on an investment will

increase. However, just to keep the savvy investor on their toes, the mix is


14/105

complicated by the risk factors involved. Fundamental analysis examines all

the dimensions of risk exposure and the probabilities of return, and merges

them with broader economic analysis and greater industry analysis to

formulate the valuation of a stock.

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS

Fundamental analysis is a method of forecasting the future price

movements of a financial instrument based on economic, political,

environmental and other relevant factors and statistics that will affect the

basic supply and demand of whatever underlies the financial instrument. It

is the study of economic, industry and company conditions in an effort to

determine the value of a companys stock. Fundamental analysis typically

focuses on key statistics in companys financial statements to determine if

the stock price is correctly valued. The term simply refers to the analysis of

the economic well-being of a financial entity as opposed to only its price

movements.

Fundamental analysis is the cornerstone of investing. The basic philosophy

underlying the fundamental analysis is that if an investor invests re.1 in

buying a share of a company, how much expected returns from this

investment he has.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fundamentalanalysis.asphttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fundamentalanalysis.asp


15/105

The fundamental analysis is to appraise the intrinsic value of a security. It

insists that no one should purchase or sell a share on the basis of tips and

rumors. The fundamental approach calls upon the investors to make his buy

or sell decision on the basis of a detailed analysis of the information about

the company, about the industry, and the economy. It is also known as

top-down approach. This approach attempts to study the economic

scenario, industry position and the company expectations and is also known

as economic-industry-company approach (EIC approach).

scenario, industry position and the company expectations and is also known

as economic-industry-company approach (EIC approach).

Thus the EIC approach involves three steps:

1. Economic analysis

2. Industry analysis

3. Company analysis


17/105

1. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

The level of economic activity has an impact on investment in many ways. If

the economy grows rapidly, the industry can also be expected to show rapid

growth and vice versa. When the level of economic activity is low, stock

prices are low, and when the level of economic activity is high, stock prices

are high reflecting the prosperous outlook for sales and profits of the firms.

The analysis of macro economic environment is essential to understand the

behavior of the stock prices.

The commonly analyzed macro economic factors are as follows:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): GDP indicates the rate of growth of the

economy. It represents the aggregate value of the goods and services

produced in the economy. It consists of personal consumption expenditure,

gross private domestic investment and government expenditure on goods

and services and net exports of goods and services. The growth rate of

economy points out the prospects for the industrial sector and the return

investors can expect from investment in shares. The higher growth rate is

more favorable to the stock market.

Savings and investment: It is obvious that growth requires investment

which in turn requires substantial amount of domestic savings. Stock


18/105

market is a channel through which the savings are made available to the

corporate bodies. Savings are distributed over various assets like equity

shares, deposits, mutual funds, real estate and bullion. The savings and

investment patterns of the public affectthe stock to a great extent.

Inflation: Along with the growth of GDP, if the inflation rate also increases,

then the real growth would be very little. The effects of inflation on capital

markets are numerous. An increase in the expected rate of inflation is

expected to cause a nominal rise in interest rates. Also, it increases

uncertainty of future business and investment decisions. As inflation

increases, it results in extra costs to businesses, thereby squeezing their

profit margins and leading to real declines in profitability.

Interest rates: The interest rate affects the cost of financing to the firms.

A decrease in interest rate implies lower cost of finance for firms and more

profitability. More money is available at a lower interest rate for the brokers

who are doing business with borrowed money. Availability of cheap funds

encourages speculation and rise in the price of shares.

Tax structure: Every year in March, the business community eagerly

awaits the Governments announcement regarding the tax policy.

Concessions and incentives given to a certain industry encourage

investment in that particular industry. Tax reliefs given to savings


19/105

encourage savings. The type of tax exemption has impact on the

profitability of the industries.

FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT:(FDI)or foreign investment refers to the net

inflows of investment to acquire a lasting management intrest (10 percentor more of voting stock) in an enterprice operating in an economy other

than that of the investor. It is the sum of equity capital,reinvestments of

earning ,other long term capital,and short term capital as shown in the

balance of payments.

Infrastructure facilities: Infrastructure facilities are essential for the

growth of industrial and agricultural sector. A wide network of

communication system is a must for the growth of the economy. Regular

supply of power without any power cut would

boost the production. Banking and financial sectors also should be sound

enough to provide adequate support to the industry. Good infrastructure

facilities affect the stock market favorably.

2.INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

An industry is a group of firms that have similar technological structure of

production and produce similar products and Industry analysis is a type of

business research that focuses on the status of an industry or an industrial

sector (a broad industry classification, like "manufacturing"). Irrespective of specific


20/105

economic situations, some industries might be expected to perform better, and share prices in these industries may

not decline as much as in other industries. This identification of economic and industry specific factors influencing

share prices will help investors to identify the shares that fit individual expectations

Industry Life Cycle: The industry life cycle theory is generally attributed

to Julius Grodensky. The life cycle of the industry is separated into four well

defined stages.

Pioneering stage: The prospective demand for the product is

promising in this stage and the technology of the product is low. The

demand for the product attracts many producers to produce the

particular product. There would be severe competition and only

fittest companies survive this stage. The producers try to develop

brand name, differentiate the product and create a product image. In

this situation, it is difficult to select companies for investment

because the survival rate is unknown.

Rapid growth stage: This stage starts with the appearance of

surviving firms from the pioneering stage. The companies that have

withstood the competition grow strongly in market share and

financial performance. The technology of the production would have

improved resulting in low cost of production and good quality

products. The companies have stable growth rate in this stage and

they declare dividend to the shareholders. It is advisable to invest in

the shares of these companies.

Maturity and stabilization stage: the growth rate tends to

moderate and the rate of growth would be more or less equal to the


21/105

industrial growth rate or the gross domestic product growth rate.

Symptoms of obsolescence may appear in the technology. To keep

going, technological innovations in the production process and

products should be introduced. The investors have to closely monitor

the events that take place in the maturity stage of the industry.

Decline stage: demand for the particular product and the earnings

of the companies in the industry decline. It is better to avoid

investing in the shares of the low growth industry even in the boom

period. Investment in the shares of these types of companies leads to

erosion of capital.

Growth of the industry: The historical performance of the industry in

terms of growth and profitability should be analyzed. The past variability in

return and growth in reaction to macro economic factors provide an insight

into the future.

Nature of competition: Nature of competition is an essential factor that

determines the demand for the particular product, its profitability and the

price of the concerned company scrips. The companies' ability to withstand

the local as well as the multinational competition counts much. If too many

firms are present in the organized sector, the competition would be severe.


22/105

The competition would lead to a decline in the price of the product. The

investor before investing in the scrip of a company should analyze the

market share of the particular company's product and should compare it

with the top five companies.

SWOT analysis: SWOT analysis represents the strength, weakness,

opportunity and threat for an industry. Every investor should carry out a

SWOT analysis for the chosen industry. Take for instance, increase in

demand for the industrys product becomes its strength, presence of

numerous players in the market, i.e. competition becomes the threat to a

particular company. The progress in R & D in that industry is an opportunity

and entry of multinationals in the industry is a threat. In this way the factors

are to be arranged and analyzed.


23/105

3. COMPANY ANALYSIS

In the company analysis the investor assimilates the several bits of

information related to the company and evaluates the present and future

values of the stock. The risk and return associated with the purchase of the

stock is analyzed to take better investment decisions. The present and

future values are affected by a number of factors.

Competitive edge of the company: Major industries in India are

composed of hundreds of individual companies. Though the number of

companies is large, only few companies control the major market share.

The competitiveness of the company can be studied with the help of the

following;

Market share: The market share of the annual sales helps to

determine a companys relative competitive position within the

industry. If the market share is high, the company would be able to

meet the competition successfully. The companies in the market

should be compared with like product groups otherwise, the results

will be misleading.

Growth of sales: The rapid growth in sales would keep the

shareholder in a better position than one with stagnant growth rate.

Investors generally prefer size and growth in sales because the larger


24/105

size companies may be able to withstand the business cycle rather

than the company of smaller size.

Stability of sales: If a firm has stable sales revenue, it will have

more stable earnings. The fall in the market share indicates the

declining trend of company, even if the sales are stable. Hence the

stability of sales should be compared with its market share and the

competitors market share.

Earnings of the company: Sales alone do not increase the earnings but

the costs and expenses of the company also influence the earnings.

Further, earnings do not always increase with increase in sales. The

companys sales might have increased but its earnings per share may

decline due to rise in costs. Hence, the investor should not only depend on

the sales, but should analyze the earnings of the company.

Financial analysis: The best source of financial information about a

company is its own financial statements. This is a primary source of

information for evaluating the investment prospects in the particular

companys stock. Financial statement analysis is the study of a companys

financial statement from various viewpoints. The statement gives the

historical and current information about the companys operations.

Historical financial statement helps to predict the future and the current

information aids to analyze the present status of the company. The two


25/105

main statements used in the analysis are Balance sheet and Profit and Loss

Account.

The balance sheet is one of the financial statements that companies

prepare every year for their shareholders. It is like a financial snapshot, the

company's financial situation at a moment in time. It is prepared at the year

end, listing the company's current assets and liabilities. It helps to study the

capital structure of the company. It is better for the investor to avoid a

company with excessive debt component in its capital structure. From the

balance sheet, liquidity position of the company can also be assessed with

the information on current assets and current liabilities.

Ratio analysis: Ratio is a relationship between two figures expressed

mathematically. Financial ratios provide numerical relationship between two

relevant financial data. Financial ratios are calculated from the balance

sheet and profit and loss account. The relationship can be either expressed

as a percent or as a quotient. Ratios summarize the data for easy

understanding, comparison and interpretations.

Ratios for investment purposes can be classified into profitability ratios,

turnover ratios, and leverage ratios. Profitability ratios are the most popular

ratios since investors prefer to measure the present profit performance and

use this information to forecast the future strength of the company. The


26/105

most often used profitability ratios are return on assets, price earnings

multiplier, price to book value, price to cash flow, and price to sales,

dividend yield, return on equity, present value of cash flows, and profit

margins.

a) Return on Assets (ROA)

ROA is computed as the product of the net profit margin and the total asset

turnover ratios.

ROA = (Net Profit/Total income) x (Total income/Total Assets)

This ratio indicates the firm's strategic success. Companies can have one of

two strategies: cost leadership, or product differentiation. ROA should be

rising or keeping pace with the company's competitors if the company is

successfully pursuing either of these strategies, but how ROA rises will

depend on the company's strategy. ROA should rise with a successful cost

leadership strategy because the companys increasing operating efficiency.

An example is an increasing, total asset, turnover ratio as the company

expands into new markets, increasing its market share. The company may

achieve leadership by using its assets more efficiently. With a successful

product differentiation strategy, ROA will rise because of a rising profit

margin.

b) Return on Investment (ROI)


27/105

ROI is the return on capital invested in business, i.e., if an investment Rs 1

crore in men, machines, land and material is made to generate Rs. 25 lakhs

of net profit, then the ROI is 25%. The computation of return on investment

is as follows:

Return on Investment (ROI) = (Net profit/Equity investments) x 100

As this ratio reveals how well the resources of a firm are being used, higher

the ratio, better are the results. The return on shareholders investment

should be compared with the return of other similar firms in the same

industry. The inert-firm comparison of this ratio determines whether the

investments in the firm are attractive or not as the investors would like to

invest only where the return is higher.

c) Return on Equity

Return on equity measures how much an equity shareholder's investment is

actually earning. The return on equity tells the investor how much the

invested rupee is earning from the company. The higher the number, the

better is the performance of the company and suggests the usefulness of

the projects the company has invested in.

The computation of return on equity is as follows:


28/105

Return on equity = (Net profit to owners/value of the specific

owner's

Contribution to the business) x 100

The ratio is more meaningful to the equity shareholders who are invested to

know profits earned by the company and those profits which can be made

available to pay dividend to them.

d) Earnings per Share (EPS)

This ratio determines what the company is earning for every share. For

many investors, earnings are the most important tool. EPS is calculated by

dividing the earnings (net profit) by the total number of equity shares.

The computation of EPS is as follows:

Earnings per share = Net profit/Number of shares outstanding

The EPS is a good measure of profitability and when compared with EPS of

similar other companies, it gives a view of the comparative earnings or

earnings power of a firm. EPS calculated for a number of years indicates

whether or not earning power of the company has increased.


29/105

e) Dividend per Share (DPS)

The extent of payment of dividend to the shareholders is measured in the

form of dividend per share. The dividend per share gives the amount of

cash flow from the company to the owners and is calculated as follows:

Dividend per share = Total dividend payment / Number of shares

outstanding

The payment of dividend can have several interpretations to the

shareholder. The distribution of dividend could be thought of as the

distribution of excess profits/abnormal profits by the company. On the other

hand, it could also be negatively interpreted as lack of investment

opportunities. In all, dividend payout gives the extent of inflows to the

shareholders from the company.

f) Dividend Payout Ratio

From the profits of each company a cash flow called dividend is distributed

among its shareholders. This is the continuous stream of cash flow to the

owners of shares, apart from the price differentials (capital gains) in the

market. The return to the shareholders, in the form of dividend, out of the

company's profit is measured through the payout ratio. The payout ratio is

computed as follows:


30/105

Payout Ratio = (Dividend per share / Earnings per share) * 100

The percentage of payout ratio can also be used to compute the percentage

of retained earnings. The profits available for distribution are either paid as

dividends or retained internally for business growth opportunities. Hence,

when dividends are not declared, the entire profit is ploughed back into the

business for its future investments.

g) Dividend Yield

Dividend yield is computed by relating the dividend per share to the market

price of the share. The market place provides opportunities for the investor

to buy the company's share at any point of time. The price at which the

share has been bought from the market is the actual cost of the investment

to the shareholder. The market price is to be taken as the cum-dividend

price. Dividend yield relates the actual cost to the cash flows received from

the company. The computation of dividend yield is as follows

Dividend yield = (Dividend per share / Market price per share) *

100

High dividend yield ratios are usually interpreted as undervalued companies

in the market. The market price is a measure of future discounted values,


31/105

while the dividend per share is the present return from the investment.

Hence, a high dividend yield implies that the share has been under priced in

the market. On the other hand a low dividend yield need not be interpreted

as overvaluation of shares. A company that does not pay out dividends will

not have a dividend yield and the real measure of the market price will be

in terms of earnings per share and not through the dividend payments.

h) Price/Earnings Ratio (P/E)

The P/E multiplier or the price earnings ratio relates the current market

price of the share to the earnings per share. This is computed as follows:

Price/earnings ratio = Current market price / Earnings per share

This ratio is calculated to make an estimate of appreciation in the value of a

share of a company and is widely used by investors to decide whether or

not to buy shares in a particular company. Many investors prefer to buy the

company's shares at a low P/E ratio since the general interpretation is that

the market is undervaluing the share and there will be a correction in the


32/105

market price sooner or later. A very high P/E ratio on the other hand implies

that the company's shares are overvalued and the investor can benefit by

selling the shares at this high market price.

i) Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Debt-Equity ratio is used to measure the claims of outsiders and the owners

against the firms assets.

Debt-to-equity ratio = Outsiders Funds / Shareholders Funds

The debt-equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which debt

financing has been used in a business. It indicates the proportionate claims

of owners and the outsiders against the firms assets. The purpose is to get

an idea of the cushion available to outsiders on the liquidation of the firm.

CHAPTER III - INDUSTRY PROFILE

FINANCIAL MARKETS


34/105

Finance is the pre-requisite for modern business and financial institutions

play a vital role in the economic system. It is through financial markets and

institutions that the financial system of an economy works. Financial

markets refer to the institutional arrangements for dealing in financial

assets and credit instruments of different types such as currency, cheques,

bank deposits, bills, bonds, equities, etc.

Financial market is a broad term describing any marketplace where buyers

and sellers participate in the trade of assets such as equities, bonds,

currencies and derivatives. They are typically defined by having transparent

pricing, basic regulations on trading, costs and fees and market forces

determining the prices of securities that trade.

Generally, there is no specific place or location to indicate a financial

market. Wherever a financial transaction takes place, it is deemed to have

taken place in the financial market. Hence financial markets are pervasive

in nature since financial transactions are themselves very pervasive

throughout the economic system. For instance, issue of equity shares,

granting of loan by term lending institutions, deposit of money into a bank,

purchase of debentures, sale of shares and so on.

CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL MARKETS


37/105

Capital Market

The capital market is a market for financial assets which have a long or

indefinite maturity. Generally, it deals with long term securities which have

a period of above one year. In the widest sense, it consists of a series of

channels through which the savings of the community are made available

for industrial and commercial enterprises and public authorities. As a whole,

capital market facilitates raising of capital.

The major functions performed by a capital market are:

1. Mobilization of financial resources on a nation-wide scale.

2. Securing the foreign capital and know-how to fill up deficit in the

required resources for economic growth at a faster rate.

3. Effective allocation of the mobilized financial resources, by directing

the same to projects yielding highest yield or to the projects needed

to promote balanced economic development.

Capital market consists of primary market and secondary market.

Primary market: Primary market is a market for new issues or new

financial claims. Hence it is also called as New Issue Market. It basically

deals with those securities which are issued to the public for the first time.


38/105

The market, therefore, makes available a new block of securities for public

subscription. In other words, it deals with raising of fresh capital by

companies either for cash or for consideration other than cash. The best

example could be Initial Public Offering (IPO) where a firm offers shares to

the public for the first time.

Secondary market: Secondary market is a market where existing

securities are traded. In other words, securities which have already passed

through new issue market are traded in this market. Generally, such

securities are quoted in the stock exchange and it provides a continuous

and regular market for buying and selling of securities. This market consists

of all stock exchanges recognized by the government of India.

Money Market

Money markets are the markets for short-term, highly liquid debt

securities. Money market securities are generally very safe investments

which return relatively low interest rate that is most appropriate for

temporary cash storage or short term time needs. It consists of a number of

sub-markets which collectively constitute the money market namely call

money market, commercial bills market, acceptance market, and Treasury

bill market.

Derivatives Market

The derivatives market is the financial market for derivatives, financial

instruments like futures contracts or options, which are derived from other

forms ofassets. A derivative is 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. The important financial derivatives are the following:

Forwards: Forwards are the oldest of all the derivatives. A forward contract

refers to an agreement between two parties to exchange an agreed quantity of an

asset for cash at a certain date in future at a predetermined price specified in that

agreement. The promised asset may be currency, commodity, instrument etc.

Futures: Future contract is very similar to a forward contract in all respects

excepting the fact that it is completely a standardized one. It is nothing but a

standardized forward contract which is legally enforceable and always traded on

an organized exchange.

Options: A financial derivative that represents a contract sold by one party

(option writer) to another party (option holder). The contract offers the buyer

the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a security or other

financial asset at an agreed-upon price (the strike price) during a certain period

of time or on a specific date (exercise date). Call options give the option to buy

at certain price, so the buyer would want the stock to go up. Put options give the

option to sell at a certain price, so the buyer would want the stock to go down.

Swaps: It is yet another exciting trading instrument. Infact, it is the combination

of forwards by two counterparties. It is arranged to reap the benefits arising

from the fluctuations in the market either currency market or interest rate

market or any other market for that matter.

Foreign Exchange Market

It is a market in which participants are able to buy, sell, exchange and speculate on

currencies. Foreign exchange markets are made up of banks, commercial companies,

central banks, investment management firms, hedge funds, and retail forex brokers and

investors. The forex market is considered to be the largest financial market in the

world. It is a worldwide decentralized over-the-counterfinancial market for the trading

of currencies. Because the currency markets are large and liquid, they are believed to be

the most efficient financial markets. It is important to realize that the foreign exchange

market is not a single exchange, but is constructed of a global network of computers

that connects participants from all parts of the world.

Commodities Market

It is a physical or virtual marketplace for buying, selling and trading raw or

primary products. For investors' purposes there are currently about 50

major commodity markets worldwide that facilitate investment trade in

nearly 100 primary commodities. Commodities are split into two types: hard

and soft commodities. Hard commodities are typically natural resources

that must be mined or extracted (gold, rubber, oil, etc.), whereas soft
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-counter_(finance)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-counter_(finance)

commodities are agricultural products or livestock (corn, wheat, coffee,

sugar, soybeans, pork, etc.)

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.

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


43/105

controls began to be dismantled or eased out; the securities markets

witnessed a flurry of IPOs 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


44/105

integration of IT into the capital market infrastructure has been particularly

smooth in India due to the countrys 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 Indias capital

markets and as one of the countrys most important institutions.


45/105

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 regulatorfor 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 Bhave, 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.

46/105

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 bye-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.

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;

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.

Need for OTCEI:


55/105

Studies by NASSCOM, software technology parks of India, the venture capitals funds

and the governments IT tasks Force, as well as rising interest in IT, Pharmaceutical,

Biotechnology and Media shares have repeatedly emphasized the need for a

national stock market for innovation and high growth companies.

Innovative companies are critical to developing economics like India, which is

undergoing a major technological revolution. With their abilities to generate

employment opportunities and contribute to the economy, it is essential that these

companies not only expand existing operations but also set up new units. The key

issue for these companies is raising timely, cost effective and long term capital to

sustain their operations and enhance growth. Such companies, particularly those

that have been in operation for a short time, are unable to raise funds through the

traditional financing methods, because they have not yet been evaluated by the

financial world.

Environment:

Professionally managed companies are those that are managed by

employees. In such companies, the chief executive officer often does not even have


63/105

a financial stake in the company. He is at the helm of affairs because of his ability

and experience. The professional manager is a career employee and he remains at

the seat of power so long as he meets his targets. Consequently, professional

managers are result-oriented. They are not necessarily influenced by loyalty to the

company. As a professional he is usually aware of the latest trends in management

philosophy and tries to introduce these. They try to run the company like a lean,

effective machine striving for increased efficiency and productivity. As a

consequence, professionally managed companies are usually well organized,

growth oriented and good performers. The companies that come readily to mind

are ITC, Infosys, HDFC and Hindustan Lever. However, there is often a lack of

long term commitment and sometimes a lack of loyalty. This is because the

professional manager has to step down in time, to retire, and he cannot therefore

enjoy the fruit of his labors for ever. Nor will his sons succeed him although some

may try to see that his happens. He sell his services to the clients, and such

individuals are consequently not usually know for their loyalty. Companies are

now to promote or create commitment offering employees stock options. Thesedevolve on employees after a specified period of service and are given to them on

performance. The employee thus becomes a part owner and becomes thus involved

in the profitability of the enterprise. Additionally as these devolve on the employee

only after a time, he tends to stay till it does. As these options are given, often

annually, the employee remains with the company for a significant period of time.

It is a win-win situation for both. The company gets the services of a loyal

competent employee. The employee builds his net worth. In many professionally

managed companies there is also a lot of infighting and corporate politics. This is

because managers are constantly trying to climb up the corporate ladder.

The management is open, innovative and also has a strategy. It is prepared

to change when required. It is essentially know where it is going and have a plan of

how to get there. It is receptive to ideas and be dynamic. A company that has many

layers of management and is top heavy tends to be very bureaucratic and

ponderous. There are "many chiefs and few braves". They do not want change and

often stand in the way of change. Their strategy is usually a personal one.

Terminology:


65/105

Terminology is the study of terms and their use ofwor ds and compound

words

that are used in specific contexts.

Terminology also denotes a more formal discipline which systematically studies

the labeling or designating ofconcepts particular to one or more subject fields or

domains of human activity, through research and analysis of terms in context, for

the purpose of documenting and promoting correct usage. This study can be

limited to one language or can cover more than one language at the same time

(multilingual terminology, bilingual terminology, and so forth).

Terminology is not connected to Information Retrieval in any way. "Terms" (i.e.

index terms) used in an Information Retrieval context are not the same as "terms"

used in the context of Terminology

AMC

An Asset Management Company is the fund house or the company that manages

the money.

The mutual fund is a trust registered under the Indian Trust Act. It is initiated by a

sponsor. A sponsor is a person who acts alone or with a corporate to establish a

mutual fund. The sponsor then appoints an AMC to manage the investment,

marketing, accounting and other functions pertaining to the fund.

NAV

The Net Asset Value is the price of a unit of a fund. When a fund comes out with an NFO, it is priced

Rs 10. Later, depending on the value of the investments, this price could rise or fall.

Load

This is a fee that is charged when you buy or sell the units of a fund.

When you buy the units of a fund, you pay a percentage of it as a fee. This is

known as the entry load.

Let's say you are investing Rs 10,000 and the entry load is 2%. That means you

pay Rs 200 as the entry load and Rs 9,800 is invested in the fund.

Now, let's assume you are selling the units of your fund. And the Rs 10,000 you

invested initially is now Rs 15,000. Let's further assume the exit load is 2%. So

you pay Rs 300 and get back Rs 14,700.Generally, if funds charge an entry load, they will not charge an exit load. Or vice

versa. Only one of the loads is charged. The load is a percentage of the NAV.

Portfolio

This is the term given to all the investments made by the fund as well as the

amount held in cash.

A Systematic Investment Plan refers to periodic investing in a mutual fund. Every

month or every three months, the investor will have to commit to putting in a fixed

amount. This will go towards the purchase of units.

Let's say that every month you commit to investing, say, Rs 1,000 in your fund. At

the end of a year, you would have invested Rs 12,000.

If the NAV on the day you invest in the first month is Rs 20, you will get 50 units.

The next month, the NAV is Rs 25. You will get 40 units.

The following month, the NAV is Rs 18. You will get 55.56 units.

So, after three months, you would have 145.56 units. On an average, you would

have paid around Rs 21 per unit. This is because, when the NAV is high, you get

fewer units per Rs 1,000. When the NAV falls, you get more units per Rs 1,000.

31 billion in 2002.
