PREFACE

A good broker system must be able to cope with an extremely

complex and dynamic environment.

The microstructure of the stock market in which brokers work is highly

dynamic and volatile. Many stocks are available to be bought and sold,

each exhibiting its own patterns and characteristics that are highlyunpredictable. With so many options and considerations that need to be

taken into account, it is an extremely arduous task for a broker to

investigate aspects of the stock market and consistently provide effective

advice to their clients.

Thus, brokers perform their day-to-day tasks with the aid of a broker

system. Such a system should provide tools for interacting with

exchanges and performing analysis. As a consequence, these broker

systems are quite large and complicated by themselves.

This research aims is to analysis Stock broker on the basis of their

services, products, growth, and their subsidiaries. Because Stockbrokers

are one of the main participants in stock exchanges worldwide, they

often act as an agent for their clients, making trades on their behalf.

They also act as advisors, providing suggestions to their clients on what

stocks to buy and sell.

Executive Summary

There is growing competition between brokerage firms in post reform

India. For investor it is always difficult to decide which brokerage firm

to choose.

Research was carried out to find which brokerage house people prefer

and to figure out what people prefer while investing in stock market.

This study suggest that people are reluctant while investing in stock and

commodity market due to lack of knowledge

Main purpose of investment is returns and liquidity, commodity market

is less preferred by investors due to lack of awareness. The major

findings of this study are that people are interested to invest in stock

market but they lack knowledge.

Through this report we were also able to understand, what are our

Companys (Sharekhan Ltd.) positive and strong points, on the basis of

which we come to know what can be the basis of pitching to a potential

client. We also gave suggestions to the company, what improvement canbe done to our product.

INTRODUCTION

In most industrialized countries, a substantial part of financial

wealth is not managed directly by savers, but through a financial

intermediary, which implies the existence of an agency contract between

the investor (the principal) and a broker or portfolio manager (the agent).

Therefore, delegated brokerage management is arguably one of the most

important agency relationships intervening in the economy, with a

possible impact on financial market and economic developments at a

macro level.

In most of the metros, people like to put their money in stock

options instead of dumping it in the bank-lockers. Now, this trend pick

pace in small but fast developing cities like Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Jaipur

etc. My research is based on the residents of Chandigarh and its nearby

areas.

As the per-capita-income of the city is on the higher side, so it is

quite obvious that they want to invest their money in profitable ventures.

On the other hand, a number of brokerage houses make sure the hassle

free investment in stocks. Asset management firms allow investors to

estimate both the expected risks and returns, as measured statistically.

There are mainly two types of Portfolio management strategies.

1. Passive Portfolio Strategy

9


10/66

2. Active Portfolio Strategy

1. Passive Portfolio Strategy:

A strategy that involves minimal expectation input, and instead

relies on diversification to match the performance of some market

index. A passive strategy assumes that the marketplace will reflect

all available information in the price paid for securities

2. Active Portfolio Strategy :

A strategy that uses available information and forecasting techniques

to seek a better performance than a portfolio that is simply diversified

broadly.

BACKGROUND OF STOCK EXCHANGE IN INDIA

The emergence of stock market can be traced back to 1830. In Bombay,

business passed in the shares of banks like the commercial bank, the

chartered mercantile bank, the chartered bank, the oriental bank and the

old bank of Bombay and shares of cotton presses. In Calcutta,

Englishman reported the quotations of 4%, 5%, and 6% loans of East

India Company as well as the shares of the bank of Bengal in 1836. This

list was a further broadened in 1839 when the Calcutta newspaper

printed the quotations of banks like union bank and Agra bank. It alsoquoted the prices of business ventures like the Bengal bonded

warehouse, the Docking Company and the storm tug company.

Between 1840 and 1850, only half a dozen brokers existed for the

limited business. But during the share mania of 1860-65, the number of

brokers increased considerably. By 1860, the number of brokers was

about 60 and during the exciting period of the American Civil war, their

number increased to about 200 to 250. The end of American Civil war

brought disillusionment and many failures and the brokers decreased in

number and prosperity. It was in those troublesome times between 1868

11


12/66

and 1875 that brokers organized an informal association and finally as

recited in the Indenture constituting the Articles of Association of the

Exchange. On or about 9th day of July,1875, a few native brokers doing

brokerage business in shares and stocks resolved upon forming in

Bombay an association for protecting the character, status and interest of

native share and stock brokers and providing a hall or building for the

use of the members of such association.

As a meeting held in the broker Hall on the 5 th day of February, 1887, it

was resolved to execute a formal deal of association and to constitute the

first managing committee and to appoint the first trustees. Accordingly,

the Articles of Association of the Exchange and the Stock Exchange was

formally established in Bombay on 3rd day of December, 1887. The

Association is now known as The Stock Exchange.

The entrance fee for new member was Re.1 and there were 318 members

on the list, when the exchange was constituted. The numbers of

members increased to 333 in 1896, 362 in 1916and 478 in 1920 and the

entrance fee was raised to Rs.5 in 1877, Rs.1000 in 1896, Rs.2500 in

1916 and Rs. 48,000 in 1920. At present there are 23 recognized stock

exchanges with about 6000 stock brokers. Organization structure of

stock exchange varies.

14 stock exchanges are organized as public limited companies, 6 as

companies limited by guarantee and 3 are non-profit voluntary

12


13/66

organization. Of the total of 23, only 9 stock exchanges have been

permanent recognition. Others have to seek recognition on annual basis.

These exchange do not work of its own, rather, these are run by some

persons and with the help of some persons and institution. All these are

down as functionaries on stock exchange. These are

1. Stockbrokers

2. Sub-broker

3. Market makers

4. Portfolio consultants etc.

1.)Stockbrokers

Stock brokers are the members of stock exchanges.

These are the persons who buy, sell or deal in securities. A certificate of

registration from SEBI is mandatory to act as a broker. SEBI can impose

certain conditions while granting the certificate of registrations. It is

obligatory for the person to abide by the rules, regulations and the buy-

law. Stock brokers are commission broker, floor broker, arbitrageur etc.

2.) Sub-broker

A sub-broker acts as agent of stock broker. He is not a

member of a stock exchange. He assists the investors in buying, selling

or dealing in securities through stockbroker. The broker and sub-broker

should enter into an agreement in which obligations of both should bespecified. Sub-broker must be registered SEBI for a dealing in securities.

For getting registered with SEBI, he must fulfill certain rules and

regulation.

3.) Market Makers

Market maker is a designated specialist in the

specified securities. They make both bid and offer at the same time. A

market maker has to abide by bye-laws, rules regulations of the

concerned stock exchange. He is exempt from the margin requirements.

14


15/66

As per the listing requirements, a company where the paid-up capital is

Rs. 3 crore but not more than Rs. 5 crore and having a commercial

operation for less than 2 years should appoint a market maker at the time

of issue of securities.

4.) Portfolio consultants

A combination of securities such as stocks,

bonds and money market instruments is collectively called as portfolio.

Whereas the portfolio consultants are the persons, firms or companieswho advise, direct or undertake the management or administration of

securities or funds on behalf of their clients.

Partial fulfillment for degree of M.B.A. programmed, we received the

opportunity from Sharekhan Ltd. for our summer training project report.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

According to SEBI, Professional Rating of market intermediaries, as a

concept, is a matter of debate and discussions. The need for rating is felt

not only from the point of view of greater disclosure requirements for

investors interests, considering the important role such intermediaries

play, being an interface between investors and exchanges but also from

the point of view of measuring the adequacy of systems and controls to

meet internal as well as external compliance requirements.

So that need for Intermediaries Rating services (Brokers), In view of the

developments that are taking place in the capital markets, the need to

constantly upgrade and improve systems and procedures in operation as

well as skill sets has gained considerable importance. Besides

compliance with regulatory requirements both in letter and spirit hasassumed significance so as to mitigate risk and ensure adequate

protection of investors interest.

37

to brand its image and capitalize the same for generating more business.

stakeholders including the investors, stock brokers themselves, the

regulator and others who will benefit from the transparency and the

consequential focus on efficiency.

According to SEBI and Intermediaries Regulation and Supervision

Department, different factors are consider for rating process

Organization structure, Policy on Investors interest, Risk Management

Policy and System, Organization process and procedures, Management

policy on compliance, Financials, History/Background, Firms

positioning.

According to Michal Parness, Founder & CEO

Investors dont Make Money in the Stock Market. One reason the

institutions make so much money is that they are trading. They

make money every time you buy or sell. They make money whether

you win or lose. That means that when youre investing, youre

basically just sitting there. Youre not going anywhere. Youre not

making money as an investor.

38

Trading the Trend: The Only Way to Make Money in the Market

If you dont know this already, Trend Trading means trading trends

based on human emotions. Not lagging indicators. Not complexstatistical analysis and not Ph.D. level mathematical equations. With

trend trading, you look for market movement. That could mean stocks

that are going to move up or down during the course of a day (intraday).

Youll play the gaps up and down, often several days a week.

The Trend trading means being aware and taking advantage of trends

like the run-ups that happen around earning sessions. These are trends

that have worked time and time again in the market. They consistently

yield results.
