    1) Should You Bet on Your Broker's Advice? A Study of Analyst Recommendations in India.

    A brief

    Equity shares research serve an important function by bringing information about companies

    to the stock market. Equity analysis and reporting by brokerage firms has increased

    considerably in recent years in India. We examine over 2000 analyst recommendations to

    study the predictive value and market impact of stock analyst forecasts in India. We find that

    analysts tend to be optimistic in their predictions, recommending buys considerably more

    often than sells. Their recommendations do have investment value at least in the near term.

    Clear buy recommendations appear to be the most valuable. The recommendations also seem

    to have some impact on stock price.

    2) Broker-client contact and client satisfaction: Are client attitudes towards brokers bullish

    and bearish with the stock market?

    A brief

    The tremendous change in financial services industry requires an intimate understanding of

    clients in order for brokerage firms to increase and maintain a client base. This study uses a

    questionnaire in order to determine what clients felt were brokers' strengths and weaknesses in

    attaining client satisfaction. The results of the survey indicate that clients' perceptions of

    brokers' honesty, aptitude, knowledge and service to its customers are main determinants of

    client satisfaction. The overall responses during the bull market and the bear market show

    little change in client attitudes towards brokers.

    Therefore my research is somewhat an extension to these studies which is more specific to

    find which stock broker is the better service provider. In my study there is a questionnaire

    which will help me to find out the strengths and weaknesses of brokers. Which will conclude

    which brokers has better equity research so that investor can rely upon them and which broker

    is ale to retain and satisfy its customer.

    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 also

    quoted the prices of business ventures like the Bengal bonded warehouse, the Docking

    Company and the storm tug company.

    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 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.

    1.2 Meaning of Share Market

    A share market is a market for the trading of publicly held company share and associated

    financial instruments including stock options, convertibles and stock index futures.

    Conventionally, stock markets were open-protest where trading took place on the floor of a

    stock exchange. Most modern stock trading is done in electronic exchanges where buying and

    selling occurs through online real time matching of orders placed by buyers and sellers.

    In early times, buyers and sellers were individual investors and businessmen. Markets have

    become more institutionalized, now buyers and sellers are largely institutions for e.g., pension

    funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, investor groups, and banks. The rise of the

    institutional investor has brought with it an increase of professional meticulousness that has

    tended to regulate the market.

    Securities

    Securities are types of transferable interests representing financial value. Conventionally

    securities have been classified between debt and equity securities. It is also categorized

    between bearer and registered securities. They comprise of shares of corporate stock or mutual

    funds, bonds issued by corporations or government agencies, stock options or other options,

    other derivative securities, limited partnership units, and various other formal investment

    tools. Through banknotes, checks and some bills of exchange do not fall into this type.

    Commodities like oil, food grains can also be called securities. One can buy or sell a variety of

    quantities of such commodity securities in various commodity exchanges.

    Concept of Security

    Initially the term securities were used to signify security interests like mortgages and charges

    supporting the payment of a debt or other commitments. In early modern Europe, companies

    and government agencies began to raise capital from the public using secured debt

    obligations, which came to be known as Securities. As shares became more readily

    transferable from the Victorian era, their functional similarity to debt securities became

    clearer, and both forms of investment became known as Securities. More recently, the term

    has also been extended to include units in investment funds and other forms of readily

    transferable investment.

    Stock Market

    The Stock Market is a place for trading of company shares, stocks and stock index futures.

    Investing your money in stock market trading requires certain knowledge of stock market

    basics and value investing. Now stock market trading is possible by investing online and

    developing your portfolio through investments in good companies. Price movements of stocks

    are available on various stock market indices. Share trading could be either buying or selling

    of shares and stocks.

    How does a Stock Market Function?

    Stock Market functions either through share trading on the stock exchange floor or

    electronically. You instruct your stock broker to purchase or sell shares of particular company.

    He then informs floor clerk of stock exchange, who finds a suitable buyer. After completing

    deal, stock broker gets back to you with final price of your investments. Mutual funds and

    other institutional investors prefer electronic exchange for stock buying and selling. Such

    online investing enables closer contact with share trading although you need services of stock

    broker, who offers valuable investing advice and investment tips.

    Is Stock Investing Risky?

    As with any other investment instrument, investments in stocks are also fraught with risks and

    benefits. Benefits come in two forms dividend from the company and better utilization of

    stock price, if you decide to sell it. These two usually go hand in hand. A high dividend

    paying company usually commands higher stock prices. Risks also knock the door in two

    forms you may not get dividend, and you may not be able to sell your stocks at a higher

    price than purchase price. Compare this with a government bond where your risk is almost

    zero, but then expected returns will be very low.

    You need a broker to invest your money in stocks. If you feel that you dont possess enough

    knowledge of this industry, its better to appoint a full service broker. He is the one to offer

    you his advice on how much and where to invest. If you are very comfortable with the stock

    market, opt for a discount broker, and have your money invested through him.

    Different Techniques of Stock Investing

    Stock investing could be either through Technical or Fundamental Analysis. Investment plans

    through technical analysis uses various mathematical charts to predict the future price

    movements of stocks in the market. It does not consider working of company or total

    economic setup. Fundamental analysis studies total working of companies through balance

    sheets, management, and growth rates. These indicate growth of company in future and hence

    point to rise or fall of stock prices.

    becoming. Of new possibilities. It is the beginning of every step and the foundation on

    which a person reaches for the stars.

    The second leaf of the clover represents Trust - The ability to place ones own faith in another.

    To have a relationship as partners in a team. To accomplish a given goal with the balance that

    brings satisfaction to all, not in the binding, but in the bond that is built.

    In the financial sector Religare has positioned itself as a focused low cost service

    provider. As many of its competitors are struggling in this highly competitive market

    religare through transparency in its pricing strategy has gained its market share.

    Moreover in this secondary market there are very few customers who get attracted of

    less charges, mainly its the service and kind of relationship you develop matters most.

    3.3 PLACE

    Religare securities entered the market, when companies like India bulls and motilala oswal

    has established themselves as market leaders. Ranbaxy brand name helps religare to make its

    presence feel in the financial market. Funds were not the issue , therefore religare targeted

    mass market. Opening branches in untapped areas has provided religare with a large customer

    data base. This P of religares marketing mix is an advantage over its competitors.

    Religares retail network spreads across the length and breadth of the country with its

    presence through more than1550 locations across more than 460 towns & cities.. Having

    spread itself fairly well across the country and with the promise of not resting on its laurels, it

    has also aggressively started eyeing global geographies. We have a growing network of more

    than 300 branches and more than 580 business partners spread across more than 300

    cities/towns in India and a fully operational international office at London.

    3.4 PROMOTION

    In secondary market there is a certain limit or norms laid by SEBI for advertising. That is why

    there is no brand ambassador for mutual funds etc. Therefore broking houses have to restrict

    their promotional activity to some extent. Ranbaxy being the umbrella brand has helped

    religare to promote under the cover of Ranbaxy. As we know price is not the factor in this

    industry, Religare has positioned themselves as a best service provider. By designing a

    environment friendly Brand identity Religare has shown its responsibility towards people.

    They have started a campaign called SAVE PAPER SAVE EARTH in which they decide

    to send electronic contract notes. Religare Enterprises has reduced its power costs by 30-

    35% by incorporating three modular data centres. IBM has designed the green data centres for

    Religare in Delhi, Noida and Mumbai as part of the $3.1 million agreement signed with the

    company. Leveraging such technologies like high density computing, virtualization and

    precision air-conditioning, Religare expects a saving of more than 3600 units (KWH) per day

    in power consumption. In a year, this represents a saving of about Rs 1 crore.

    Broking sector has consumer class of Brand switchers, to maintain long time relationship

    with customers Religare has taken a step to send greetings to their customers. Religare is not

    incurring much on advertising, there is no Brand ambassador and very few ads of Religare

    securities are aired on television. Share market is an addiction; therefore, there is no need to

    give any demonstration. However at recent times there is an urgent need to inform customers

    about how to invest during recession. They believe more on word of mouth advertising.

    Religare have many subsidiaries under its brand name and every single individual company

    also promotes itself differently. The following are various ways through which Religare

    promotes itself -:

    Hoarding

    TV ads

    Print media ads

    Pamphlets

    Franchise promotion

    Word of mouth advertising by existing customer

    Canopy

    Sending thanking notes to the customers at the end of every year.

    After studying the market mix of RSL, We have developed a small promotional plan to

    promote our Branch in Shalimar Bagh. This will help our branch to spread awareness about

    investing during a global slowdown. And to tap the potential investors in the nearby area.

    3.5 PEOPLE

    This is the extended P of marketing mix in service industry. It comprises people working for

    the company, the human resource of company. In a broking house employees are in direct

    contact with customers in the form of relationship managers. Consumers usually make

    judgments and deliver perceptions of the service based on the employees they interact with.

    Each branch has minimum of 20 employees which includes dealers, back office and

    relationship managers headed by Branch head. Branch has to report to their regional head

    office for ex. Delhi regional office is in Nehru palace. The head office of religare is in Noida

    which has all departments, like marketing, HR, Risk management Cell, Recovery department.

    The total number of employees in religare securities is 10,000. The median age of employees

    is 27 years. Working population comprises of 82% men and 18% women, so it is clear from

    the demographics that this is a male dominated sector.

    3.5.1 PROCESSES

    It refers to the system which is used to assist the organization in delivering the services to the

    consumers. Processes which allow a customer to obtain an efficient service delivery. Religare

    has positioned itself as a best service provider as compared to other stock brokers. The process

    is a mix of different services starting from taping a customer, religare takes maximum 3 days

    to open a new account. Than comes the regular service that is to help and guide the customer

    in trading, to support this religare has a well established research department. This regularly

    gives the tips to trade consciously in market. Back office performs a significant role by giving

    confirmation call for the day to day transactions. Managing the documents, contract notes,

    collection of cheques, Confirmation through SMS. Link ups with the various banks for

    convenient transactions.

    Through these processes Religare provides, convenience, satisfaction, security, flexibility. As

    the logo of religare depicts trust , efficient implementation of these processes has helped

    religare to gain the trust of the consumer and provide them the value for their money.

    3.5.2 PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

    It is the physical evidence that allow a customer to make a

    judgment. Physical evidence is a place where service is actually

    delivered. The physical make up of a place influence the

    customers to make a decision. It creates a good impression in

    their minds and they start expecting a good service from that

    company. E.g. Amity University is known for its mesmerizing infrastructure. Once a customer

    enters the premises of the college, they start expecting a good service from the college and no

    doubt Amity delivers and lives up to their expectations. Customer has different judgment for a

    broker who is not able to show its worth in the market. There are many private brokers who

    are working at a small shop size office. Religare has brand name and a name attached to it

    called Ranbaxy. Every branch has an infrastructure that provides convenience and comfort to

    all customers.

    MARKETING PLAN

    PROCESS

    1) Segmentation

    2) Target market selection

    3) Positioning the brand and the branch

    4) Selection of promotional tools

    SEGMENTATION

    We have to divide the consumer market in Shalimar bagh and nearby areas like pitampura,

    rohini etc. on the basis of their occupation and income. Through segmentation we will get four

    categories.

    1) Potential new entrants

    2) Existing investors and customers

    3) Investors which are not active due to slowdown

    4) Brand switchers

    Sample design

    A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to

    the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting item for the sample

    We used the probability research design.

    Sampling units - Sampling unit may be a geographical one, such as state, district, village etc.

    Size of sample -This refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to

    constitute a sample In my research sample size is 75

    I also study the other 3stock broker companies related to security & commodity market like

    India-Infoline, ICICI direct, and India bulls. for the appropriate collection of the information.

    5.3 SOURES OF DATA COLLECTION

    . 1. Primary data - was collected through a well structured questionnaire. My approach was to

    get into the discussion with the respondent and meanwhile I will fill the questionnaire.

    Information was also collected by interviewing them on the telephone and we also collected

    some vital information when we participated in a many client meetings as observers.

    2. Secondary Data. was used only for the comparison on the basis of charges, which was

    collected through websites, personal interview with the company professionals and we also

    visited Religare head office in Noida.

    . LIMITATIONS

    As only Delhi dealt in survey so it does not represent the view of the total Indian

    market.

    Size of the research may not be substantial.

    There was lack of time on the part of respondents.

    The survey was carried through questionnaire and the questions were based on

    perception.

    There may be biasness in information by market participant.

    Based on the market survey, new clients and existing clients following

    recommendations can be given for more satisfaction of customers as well as more sell of the

    product.

    Findings related to account opening:

    Documents required for an account opening are too unique and confusing. Voters ID

    or driving license should be taken both as identity proof as well addresses proof.

    Fees taken by the Religare Securities Ltd for account opening is low, though product

    is providing extra facilities, but the users opinion is that time period of account opening

    should be reduced.

    While other brokerage House taking less time to opening the account. A brokerage charge is

    comparatively very low to another brokerage House.

    CONCLUSION

    The information collected from the various respondents helped us to arrive at the following:

    Though price or charges are main factors which affect the market share of a company, but

    particularly in the secondary market, services provided by the broker attracts the customer

    most. All broking house follows almost similar charge slab, that to flexible with the type of

    customer, for example a trader has a monthly volume of 5 crores, all the brokers will not

    charge him more than 1 paisa on intraday and 10 paisa on delivery.

    1) On the basis of the study I can say that Religare Ltd is better services provider

    than the other stockbrokers because of commitment towards services and transparency in

    their charging system. Religare is known for its efficient back office services.

    2) People who want less risk they invest in insurance, but people who wants high

    returns in short span of time they invest in secondary market.

    3) 28 % of respondent trade online out of which 21% belongs to ICICI, which

    poses a great threat to Religare. ICICI has also started call and trade services. Therefore

    Religare has to make its online trading much more compatible.

    4) According to survey 90 % peoples are satisfied with RELIGARE

    SECURITIES Ltd because of their RMs facility and transparency in costing. Moreover

    after ICICI Direct Religare provides best web based trading

    62/70

    - 62 -

    5) According to survey, RELIGARE SECURITIES Ltd open new branches for

    individually handle to their customer, but in ICICI direct there is no separate offices for

    this .So people prefer RELIGARE SECURITIES Ltd

    6) The equity research department is not so efficient as compared to other stock

    brokers. Good tips help to attract customer. This is the only major reason of

    dissatisfaction from religare.

    7) Religare has a good customer base in the surveyed area as compared to other

    major players in the area.

    8) ICICI Direct online trading is best in the area eating Religares web based

    trading. 90% of the people who trade online prefer ICICI.

    9) More than 90% customers are satisfied with the services of Religare. Same

    figures exist with ICICI. India Bulls and India Infoline fail to satisfy their customers.

    10) Confirmation call is of supreme importance for customers. Religare has no

    complaints regarding this.

    11) Study also concludes that people are not much aware of commodity market

    and while its going to be biggest market in India.

    12) ICICI is a very close competitor, has large customer base due to its banking

    facilities. And it provides d mat account along with normal bank account.

    13) India bulls have lost charm among customers, because of entering of better

    service provider.

    14) India Infoline does not have a good brand name, but it offers very good

    schemes and do have funding service.

    15) People are ready to invest at high charge but they want services.

    The company should also organize seminars and similar activities to enhance the knowledge

    of prospective and existing customers, so that they feel more comfortable while investing in

    the stock market.

    SUGGESTIONS

    Commitment should be equalized for every person.

    Provide the facility of free demonstrations for all. As I mentioned in the promotional

    plan that in every month end their should be some awareness program as per branch

    convenience, that could be a demonstration week in which we can explain the potential

    customer that what are the processes.

    Improvement in the opening of De-mat & contract notice procedure is required. There is

    a lot of paper work , in one form there are around 56 signatures , the numer of signatures

    should be reduced and their should be a electronic form system.

    There should be a limited number of clients under the relationship manger. So that he

    can handle new as well as old customer properly. This leads to improper execution of

    shares. I experienced many live examples during my internship.

    Some promotional activities are required for the awareness of the customer. Like the

    promotional plan in the project, this includes pamphlet distribution and awareness weak.

    The infrastructure of branch office should be improved. We should make walk in

    customers as comfortable as possible, by providing basic amenities facilities.

    Focus on equity research department. Make separate research branches.

    Introduction of more schemes, like life time accounts at low charges. And reduce theamount of deposits in Rally lite, to compete with ICICI Direct; update the online portal

    with facilities like trade queries. Call and trade option.

    Maintain relationships with HNIS by sending greetings, providing extra services.
