ABSTRACT
The project is basically divided into two parts, the first part of the project deals with
Nuances in Marketing of Dmat and Trading accounts, offered by Bonanza.Under
this, I had to get new clients for the company, using our contacts, databases of
prospective clients, existing clients, references, internet and last but not the least, by
going on to the field and thus convince people and sell the Dmat accounts to them.
I also called up and met inactive clients of Bonanza and try to make them active by
solving their problems and convincing them to trade in the market, which will lead to
increase in the revenue of the company. I have also performed a comparative
analysis of different companies which are into marketing of Dmat and trading a/c and
compared and contrast this with Bonanza.9
I also developed an exhaustive pitch to approach the clients by interacting with
company official and faculty guide. This sales pitch is developed to show the logical
sequence of how a client is approached by Bonanza.
The second part of the project includes the study of Consumer Behavior while
deciding to invest in Equities and Derivative market. This also includes analysis of
certain factors which would increase investor’s confidence to invest in Equities
market in future.
Under this study I have considered certain factors like broker’s advice, analyst’s
recommendation, personal analysis, share price and online services and then a
factor analysis on these factors is being carried out.
From the data analyzed I came out with a conclusion that investors appear to seek
three major kinds of benefits from trading firms: Analysis (Broker’s Advice and
Personal Analysis), Market Condition (Analyst Recommendation and Market Price)
and Online Facility.
History of stock market in India
The working of stock exchanges in India started in 1875. BSE is the oldest stock
market in India. The history of Indian stock trading starts with 318 persons taking
10
membership in Native Share and Stock Brokers Association, which we now know by
the name Bombay Stock Exchange or BSE in short. In 1965, BSE got permanent
recognition from the Government of India. National Stock Exchange comes second
to BSE in terms of popularity. BSE and NSE represent themselves as synonyms of
Indian stock market. The history of Indian stock market is almost the same as
the history of BSE.
The country's capital markets have passed through both good and bad periods. The
journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties,
there was no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The
Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index that
subsequently became the barometer of the Indian stock market.
SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted
construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket
of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative
companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The
index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as
well as electronic media.
The Index was initially calculated based on the "Full Market Capitalization"
methodology but was shifted to the free-float methodology with effect from
September 1, 2003. The "Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology of index
construction is regarded as an industry best practice globally.
Due to its wide acceptance amongst the Indian investors; SENSEX is regarded to be
the pulse of the Indian stock market. As the oldest index in the country, it provides
the time series data over a fairly long period of time (From 1979 onwards). Small
wonder, the SENSEX has over the years become one of the most prominent brands
in the country.
SENSEX Calculation Methodology
SENSEX is calculated using "Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology. As per
this methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the Free-float market
11
value of 30 component stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalization of
a company is determined by multiplying price of its stock by the number of shares
issued by company. This market capitalization is further multiplied by the free-float
factor to determine free-float market capitalization.
The base period of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100 index points. This
is often indicated by the notation 1978-79=100. The calculation of SENSEX involves
dividing the Free-float market capitalization of 30 companies in the Index by a
number called the Index Divisor. The Divisor is the only link to the original base
period value of the SENSEX. It keeps the Index comparable over time and is the
adjustment point for all Index adjustments arising out of corporate actions,
replacement of scripts etc. During market hours, prices of the index scripts, at which
latest trades are executed, are used by the trading system to calculate SENSEX
every 15 seconds and disseminated in real time.
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) is a Mumbai-based stock
exchange. It is the largest stock exchange in India in terms daily turnover and
number of trades, for both equities and derivative trading.
NSE is mutually-owned by a set of leading financial institutions, banks, insurance
companies and other financial intermediaries in India but its ownership and
management operate as separate entities. As of 2006, the NSE VSAT terminals,
2799 in total, cover more than 1500 cities across India.
In October 2007, the equity market capitalization of the companies listed on the NSE
was US$ 1.46 trillion, making it the second largest stock exchange in South Asia.
NSE is the third largest Stock Exchange in the world in terms of the number of trades
in equities. It is the second fastest growing stock exchange in the world with a
recorded growth of 16.6%.
The National Stock Exchange of India was promoted by leading financial institutions
at the behest of the Government of India, and was incorporated in November 1992
as a tax-paying company. In April 1993, it was recognized as a stock exchange 12
under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. NSE commenced operations
in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994.
The Capital Market (Equities) segment of the NSE commenced operations in
November 1994, while operations in the Derivatives segment commenced in June
2000.
Stock Exchange organized market for buying and selling financial instruments
known as securities, which include stocks, bonds, options, and futures. Most stock
exchanges have specific locations where the trades are completed. For the stock of
a company to be traded at these exchanges, it must be listed, and to be listed, the
company must satisfy certain requirements. But not all stocks are bought and sold at
a specific site. Such stocks are referred to as unlisted. Many of these stocks are
traded over the counter—that is, by telephone or by computer.
IMPORTANCE OF STOCK EXCHANGE
13
Stock exchanges perform important roles in national economies. Most importantly,
they encourage investment by providing places for buyers and sellers to trade
securities. This investment, in turn, enables corporations to obtain funds to expand
their businesses.
Corporations issue new securities in what is known as the primary market, usually
with the help of investment bankers. The investment bank acquires the initial issue of
the new securities from the corporation at a negotiated price and then makes the
securities available for its clients and other investors in an initial public offering (IPO).
In this primary market, corporations receive the proceeds of security sales. After this
initial offering the securities are bought and sold in the secondary market. The
corporation is not usually involved in the trading of its stock in the secondary market.
Stock exchanges essentially function as secondary markets. By providing investors
the opportunity to trade financial instruments, the stock exchanges support the
performance of the primary markets. This arrangement makes it easier for
corporations to raise the funds that they need to build and expand their businesses.
STOCK TRADING
Stocks are shares of ownership in companies. People who buy a company’s stock
may receive dividends (a portion of any profits). Stockholders are entitled to any
capital gains that arise through their trading activity—that is, to any gain obtained
when the price at which the stock is sold is greater than the purchase price. But
stockholders also face risks. One risk is that the firm may experience losses and not
14
be able to continue the payment of dividends. Another risk involves capital losses
when the stockholder sells shares at a price below the purchase price.
STOCK BROKERS
A stockbroker is an employee of a brokerage firm. The individual investor contacts
his or her stockbroker and provides the stockbroker with the details of the transaction
the investor wants to complete. Stockbrokers, however, are more than order takers
or sales representatives for their firms; they frequently provide advice to the investor.
They may have their own client list and call clients when they see transactions that
will fit the client’s investment objectives. Stockbrokers almost always have
certification from, or registration with, a state government agency or an exchange or
both. For this reason they are sometimes referred to as registered representatives.
Risk involved while investing in Stock Market
Risk is a complex, multidimensional concept that manifests itself in various ways.
Risk is omnipresent and includes stock market crashes, corporate bankruptcies and
15
currency devaluations, changes in sentiment, in inflation and interest rates, and even
major changes in the tax code.
Risk is generally defined as return volatility, or the degree of ups and downs of
returns. But there's more to risk than volatility. Risk and long-term reward are
generally related. Risk is the chance that your actual return will be less than you
expected.
People sometimes think that a good return can be achieved with little or no risk.
Unfortunately, that's impossible. To achieve your objectives, you need to assume
certain risks and avoid others.
Thoughtful investment selections that meet your goals and risk profile keep individual
stock and bond risks at an acceptable level.
However, other risks are inherent to investing you have no control over. Most of
these risks affect the market or the economy and require investors to adjust
portfolios or ride out the storm.
Major types of such risks are:
Economic Risks
One of the most obvious risks of investing is that the economy can go bad. Following
the market bust in 2000 and the terrorists’ attacks in 2001, the economy settled into
a sour spell.
A combination of factors saw the market indexes lose significant percentages. It has
taken years to return to levels close to pre-9/11 marks.
For young investors, the best strategy is often to just hunker down and ride out these
downturns. If you can increase your position in good solid companies, these troughs
are often good times to do so.
Foreign stocks can be a bright spot when the domestic market is in the dumps if you
do your homework. Thanks to globalization, some U.S. companies earn a majority of
their profits overseas. 16
Older investors are in a tighter bind. If you are in or near retirement, a major
downturn in stocks can be devastating if you haven’t shifted significant assets to
bonds or fixed income securities.
Inflation
Inflation is the tax on everyone. It destroys value and creates recessions.
Although we believe inflation is under our control, the cure of higher interest rates
may at some point be as bad as the problem. Investors historically have retreated to
“hard assets” such as real estate and precious metals, especially gold, in times of
inflation.
Inflation hurts investors on fixed incomes the most, since it erodes the value of their
income stream. Stocks are the best protection against inflation since companies
have the ability to adjust prices to the rate of inflation. It is not a perfect solution, but
that is why even retired investors should maintain some of their assets in stocks.
Market Value Risk
Market value risk refers to what happens when the market turns against or ignores
your investment. This happens when the market goes off chasing the “next hot thing”
and leaves many good, but unexciting companies behind.Some investors find this a
good thing and view it as an opportunity to load up on great stocks at a time when
the market isn’t bidding up the price.
On the other hand, it doesn’t advance your cause to watch your investment flat-line
month after month while other parts of the market are going up.
The lesson is don’t get caught with all you investments in one sector of the economy.
By spreading your investments across several sectors, you have a better chance of
participating in growth of some of your stocks at any one time.
How to evaluate a company before Investing17
For stock investors that favor companies with good fundamentals, a "strong" balance
sheet is an important consideration for investing in a company's stock. The strength
of a company's balance sheet can be evaluated by three broad categories of
investment-quality measurements: working capital adequacy, asset performance and
capital structure.
A company's capitalization describes the composition of a company's permanent or
long-term capital, which consists of a combination of debt and equity. A healthy
proportion of equity capital, as opposed to debt capital, in a company's capital
structure is an indication of financial fitness.
Optimal Debt-Equity Relationship
In financial terms, debt is a good example of the proverbial two-edged sword. The
use of leverage (debt) increases the amount of financial resources available to a
company for growth and expansion. The assumption is that management can earn
more on borrowed funds than it pays in interest expense and fees on these funds.
However, as successful as this formula may seem, it does require that a company
maintain a solid record of complying with its various borrowing commitments.
A company considered too highly leveraged (too much debt versus equity) may find
its freedom of action restricted by its creditors and/or may have its profitability hurt as
a result of paying high interest costs. Of course, the worst-case scenario would be
having trouble meeting operating and debt liabilities during periods of adverse
economic conditions.
Unfortunately, there is no magic proportion of debt that a company can take on. The
debt-equity relationship varies according to industries involved, a company's line of
business and its stage of development. However, because investors are better off
putting their money into companies with strong balance sheets, common sense tells
us that these companies should have, generally speaking, lower debt and higher
equity levels.
18
Capital Ratios and Indicators
In general, analysts use three different ratios to assess the financial strength of a
company's capitalization structure. The first two, the so-called debt and debt/equity
ratios, are popular measurements; however, it's the capitalization ratio that delivers
the key insights to evaluating a company’s capital position.
The debt ratio compares total liabilities to total assets. Obviously, more of the former
means less equity and, therefore, indicates a more leveraged position. The problem
with this measurement is that it is too broad in scope, which, as a consequence,
gives equal weight to operational and debt liabilities. The same criticism can be
applied to the debt/equity ratio, which compares total liabilities to total shareholders'
equity. Current and non-current operational liabilities, particularly the latter, represent
obligations that will be with the company forever. Also, unlike debt, there are no fixed
payments of principal or interest attached to operational liabilities.
The capitalization ratio (total debt/total capitalization) compares the debt component
of a company's capital structure (the sum of obligations categorized as debt + total
shareholders' equity) to the equity component. Expressed as a percentage, a low
number is indicative of a healthy equity cushion, which is always more desirable than
a high percentage of debt.
Balance Sheet Strength
For stock investors, the balance sheet is an important consideration for investing in a
company's stock because it is a reflection of what the company owns and owes. The
strength of a company's balance sheet can be evaluated by three broad categories
of investment-quality measurements: working capital adequacy, asset performance
and capitalization structure.
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
Property, plant and equipment (PP&E), or fixed assets, is another of the "big"
numbers in a company's balance sheet. In fact, it often represents the single largest
component of a company's total assets
19
A company's investment in fixed assets is dependent, to a large degree, on its line of
business. Some businesses are more capital intensive than others. Natural resource
and large capital equipment producers require a large amount of fixed-asset
investment. Service companies and computer software producers need a relatively
small amount of fixed assets. Mainstream manufacturers generally have around 30-
40% of their assets in PP&E. Accordingly, fixed asset turnover ratios will vary among
different industries.
The fixed asset turnover ratio is calculated as:
This fixed asset turnover ratio indicator, looked at over time and compared to that of
competitors, gives the investor an idea of how effectively a company's management
is using this large and important asset. It is a rough measure of the productivity of a
company's fixed assets with respect to generating sales. The higher the number of
times PP&E turns over, the better. Obviously, investors should look for consistency
or increasing fixed asset turnover rates as positive balance sheet investment
qualities.
Return on Assets Ratio
20
Return on assets (ROA) is considered to be a profitability ratio - it shows how much
a company is earning on its total assets. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to view the
ROA ratio as an indicator of asset performance.
The ROA ratio (percentage) is calculated as:
The ROA ratio is expressed as a percentage return by comparing net income, the
bottom line of the statement of income, to average total assets. A high percentage
return implies well-managed assets. Here again, the ROA ratio is best employed as
a comparative analysis of a company’s own historical performance and with
companies in a similar line of business.
Bullish and Bearish Market
Origin of the term
One common myth is that the terms "bull market" and "bear market" are derived from
the way those animals attack a foe, because bears attack by swiping their paws
downward and bulls toss their horns upward.
This is a useful mnemonic, but is not the true origin of the terms.
Long ago, "bear skin jobbers" were known for selling bear skins that they did not
own; i.e., the bears had not yet been caught. This was the original source of the term
"bear."
This term eventually was used to describe short sellers, speculators who sold shares
that they did not own, bought after a price drop, and then delivered the shares.
Because bull and bear baiting were once popular sports, "bulls" was understood as
the opposite of "bears." I.e., the bulls were those people who bought in the
expectation that a stock price would rise, not fall.
21
A stock market bull is someone who has a very optimistic view of the market; they
may be stock-holders or maybe investors who aggressively buy and sell stocks
quickly.
A bear investor, on the other hand, is pessimistic about the market and may make
more conservative stock choices. Sometimes, the terms are used to refer to specific
funds or stocks.
What Drives Bear and Bull Markets?
The stock market is affected by many economic factors. High employment levels,
strong economy, and stable social and economic conditions generally build investor
confidence and encourage investors to put their money in the stock market. Often,
this can bolster bull markets. Also, new technologies and companies that encourage
investors to put their money in stocks can create bull markets. For example, in the
1990s, the dot com craze encouraged many investors to put their money in stocks
that they felt would keep increasing. In some cases, a bullish market is simply self-
perpetuating. Since the market is doing well, it only encourages investors to invest
more money or to start investing.
On the other hand, discouraging economic or social political changes in a society
can push the market down. Sudden instability or unemployment -- or even fears of
unemployment caused by wars and other problems -- can start to make investors
more conservative and therefore lead to bear markets. Of course, again this
becomes a self-perpetuating trend. As the economy slows down, companies begin
downsizing. Increased unemployment makes people far less willing to gamble on the
stock market. Sometimes, a panic caused by dire predictions about the market can
also create bearish conditions.
22
Investing During Bear and Bull Markets
New investors often assume that they need to avoid investing during bear markets,
and invest heavily during bull markets. This is not the case. Experienced investors
know that you need to be able to invest in any sort of market condition, provided that
you do so wisely. Each investor has a different strategy for dealing with a bull market
or bearish markets. Many investors try to take advantage of bull markets by buying
stocks as soon as the market gets bullish, and then starting to sell when prices seem
to have reached their peak. The difficulty, of course, is that it is almost impossible to
tell when the trend is beginning and when it will peak. In general, investors can take
more chances with the market during a bullish phase. Since overall prices will rise,
the chances of making a profit are good.
In bearish market conditions, prices are falling and the possibility of loss is pretty
good. What is worse, it is not always possible to tell when bearish conditions will
end. Therefore, if you invest during such market conditions, you may have to suffer
some losses before bullish times return and you're able to realize a profit. For this
reason, many investors decide on short selling or fixed income securities and other
more conservative types of investment. Defensive stocks are another good option
that remains stable during bearish conditions. On the other hand, some investors
see bearish market conditions as an ideal time to invest in more stocks. Since many
people are selling off their stocks -- including valuable blue-chip stocks -- at low
prices, it is possible to set up long-term investments that will prove valuable during
bullish times.
Now during the time of our Summer Internship Program the market trend was
Bearish and the investors were not trading actively during this time. Our
objective in Bonanza was to approach clients and educate them that this is the
best time for them to invest in stock market. This is the time when they should
do long term investments that will prove them valuable during the Bullish
phase.
This in turn helped Bonanza to generate more business from inactive clients.
23
NUANCES IN MARKETING OF DEMAT AND TRADING A/C
Dmat is short form of dematerialization. In a Demat account, securities like shares,
corporate bonds etc are kept in electronic format. The idea of a dematerialized
account is to avoid the need to hold anything in physical form.
Investors have to open a Demat account with depository through a depository
participant (DP). A depository is similar to a bank which holds securities in an
account, transfers securities between accounts on the instruction of the account
holder, facilitates transfer of ownership without having to handle securities and
ensures safe-keeping of securities.
Currently, there are two depositories — National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL)
and Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL) — which are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). These depositories operate through
a number of DPs, who are agents of these depositories.
Though SEBI has allowed for transactions of less than 500 shares in physical format,
not many people accept physical shares these days as it is difficult to sell them.
Keeping Demat securities is also far more advantageous. It does away the need for
paperwork, making transactions faster and more efficient. It saves investors from
destruction or loss of securities in transit, name transfer, stamp duties etc.
Our job in Bonanza was to get such clients for the company, who not only wish to
open a Demat account but also willing to trade regularly. As the company earns
through brokerage charged per transactions (i.e. when a client buys or sells shares)
and to earn this brokerage, they need such clients, who trade on regular basis.
This is been done by various methods like
Cold Calls – Here I collect the details of people from corporate databases, yellow
pages, internet and references and try to fix an appointment with these people by
calling them.
24
Personal Network – I also tried to make some clients based on my personal
network. I tried to contact my friends and family to give me prospective leads of
people who all are interested in share market.
Going on the field – I also tried to get some clients by directly approaching to big
offices, multiplexes and some complexes.
Apart from this our job in Bonanza was to also look at such clients who were not
been trading in recent times. We tried and fixed an appointment with such clients
and tried to help them out if could be done with the help of company so that these
clients can trade with ease in future.
Important things one needs to keep in mind while opening a Demat
account
Zero balance: Unlike a normal bank account, one doesn’t need to deposit any
shares or cash for opening a Demat account. Even after opening the account, there
is no need to hold any securities in that account. If and when you buy any share, this
share will be shown in your account electronically. The account will be adjusted to
the extent of any sale/purchase of any securities as and when the transaction takes
place.
One ID: The DP will open the account in the system and give an account number,
which is also called BOID (Beneficiary Owner Identification number). This account is
enough to hold all kinds of securities like shares, debentures and other debt
instruments like bonds and G-secs. However, there is no restriction on the number of
Demat accounts that can be held by a person.
One can open any number of Demat accounts with different DPs. Even post office
instruments like Kisan Vikas Patra and National Savings Certificates can be held in
Demat form. However, at present, the facility is available only in 35 nominated post
offices in Mumbai.
Two documents: PAN has been made compulsory for all Demat accounts with
effect from April 2006. Anyone opening a Demat account needs to produce his PAN
card at the time of opening it. The PAN card also doubles as a proof of identity
document, which is mandatory.
25
The other important document is proof of address. Passport, driving license, voter’s
ID card, bank statement and electricity bills are among the various documents
accepted as identity proofs.
Three accounts: A Demat account will be fully operational only if it’s accompanied
by two other accounts — trading account and bank account. While the former is
optional, the latter is a pre-requisite as it is needed for crediting any dividend
warrants.
Trading account is necessary to buy/ sell securities in the market and can be opened
with a broker. If one does not intend to trade but only to convert existing physical
instruments into Demat form, the trading account is not necessary. Since many
banks these days have broking and DP arms, you can open all three accounts at
one place itself.
Four types of charges: There are four fees usually levied on a Demat account:
conversion fee, annual maintenance fee, custodian fee and transaction fee. All the
charges vary from DP to DP.
Conversion fees: The DP charges a fee for converting shares from the physical to
the electronic form or vice-versa. This fee varies for both Demat and Remat
requests. For Demat, some DPs charge a flat fee per request in addition to the
variable fee per certificate, while others charge only the variable fee.
Annual maintenance fees: This is generally charged in advance.
Custodian fee: This is charged monthly and depends on the number of securities
held in the account. Each security is identified by a unique international securities
identification number (ISIN). Custodian fee is linked to this numbers and ranges
between Rs 0.5 to Rs 1 per ISIN per month. DPs will not charge custodian fee for
ISIN on which the firms have paid one-time custody charges to the depository.
Transaction fee: Transaction fee is charged for crediting/debiting securities to and
from the account on a monthly basis. While some DPs charge a flat fee per
transaction, others peg the fee to the transaction value, subject to a minimum
amount. For example, while SBI charges Rs 3 per transaction, ICICI Bank does not
charge ‘buy’ trades, but charges 0.04% of the transaction value in case of sell
trades, subject to a minimum of Rs 10.
The fee also differs on the kind of transaction (buying or selling). Some DPs charge
only for debiting the securities while others charge for both. The DPs also charge if
26
your instruction to buy/sell fails or is rejected. In addition, service tax is also charged
by the DPs.
SEBI has removed account opening charges, transaction charges for credit of
securities, and custody charges vide circular dated January 28, 2005.
Consumer Behavior while taking decisions related to his
Investment in Equities and Derivative Market
This study is based on various factors which affect consumer while taking decisions
related to his investment in Equities and Derivative Market. The study is based on
the questionnaire survey. Amongst the various factors outlined by experts taking up
studies related to consumer behavior certain factors like current market price,
confidence in broker’s advice, analyst recommendation, inclination towards online
trading, personal analysis etc are found to be most important and are analyzed.
Though trading in equities and derivatives is no longer a novel concept to the Indian
investor yet the predominant sentiment among investor’s is that of apprehension
while investing in capital markets. The main objective here is to study the Indian
investor behavior that was undertaken through the analysis of primary and
secondary data. The primary data collected from investors belonging to different age
group and having different professional background were analyzed through SPSS to
arrive at those factors that actually influenced investor behavior. The analysis of the
secondary data involved research papers and articles involving study of investor
behavior published by both Indian and Foreign researchers.
Through the comprehensive use of SPSS, an attempt has been made to establish a
correlation among various factors influencing consumer behavior.
From the analysis conducted we can see that investors appear to seek three
major kinds of benefits from trading firms: Analysis (Broker’s Advice and
Personal Analysis), Market Condition (Analyst Recommendation and Market Price)
and Online Facility
27
The study also includes the analysis of factors which would increase investor’s
confidence in Equities and Derivative Market.

There are two types of trading environment available for online trading
1. Installable software based stock trading terminals: This trading environment
requires software to be installed on investor’s computer. This software is provided by
the stock broking firm. This kind of trading terminal is used by high volume intraday
equity traders.
Advantages
Orders are directly sent to stock exchange rather than stock broker which make
order execution very fast.
It provides much more information as compared to web based version including
stock market charts, price alerts, stock market news etc.
Disadvantages
You cannot trade if you are not on the same computer where you have installed the
software.
2. Web (Internet) based trading application: This does not require any special
software installation. This is just like any other website which can be opened from
anywhere around the world for trading purpose.
43
Advantages
Real time stock trading is possible without calling or visiting broker’s office.
It displays real time market watch, graphs, historical data etc.
Trading history, Demat a/c balance and saving a/c balance can be checked at any
time
Also provides valuable analysis to investors on various stocks.
Secured transactions through unique ID’s
Customer service through Email and chat
Disadvantages
Some people don’t have much proficiency of internet and computers.
Websites are not that user friendly as compared to personalized service of broker’s
Nevertheless, with all the convenience of online trading there are still investors who
prefer the old fashion way of offline trading. Offline trading has lost some popularity
but it is still the main form of investing. Offline trading offers many benefits as well.
Pro’s of offline trading
The most important point which investors appreciates is that they are not alone while
taking any decisions so they can take the advice of their Relationship Manager when
investing in a particular script.
They are not faced with the challenge of making these vital investment decisions;
especially, if they do not have the experience necessary to make the appropriate
investments.
The advantage of trading offline is higher exposure limit. Investors get higher
Exposure while trading Offline as compared to Online.
44
With the ever booming share prices and the market scaling new heights more and
more people are getting attracted towards this sector but as per the SEBI norms one
must have a Demat a/c.
To sell Demat a/c to a client it is required to collect all the information regarding
Demat a/c in general and demat a/c offered by Bonanza.
I also studied and compared the features of Demat a/c offered by various other
companies in the industry to get fully prepared in order to sort the queries a client
could ask about the product.
I visited some of the main companies as a client and enquired about their offerings
and compared these offerings with those of Bonanza.
Some of the main companies I visited were-
India Infoline
Reliance Money
ICICI Direct
IndiaBulls

CHAPTER-4
REVIEW OF
LITERATURE
49
Existing literature on Consumer Behavior
Globally, there are increased evidences to suggest that investor confidence has
assumed an important role in the economic development of a country. Though
research relating to importance of investor behavior in the Indian capital markets are
yet to be undertaken there has been ample instances wherein behavioral patterns of
the investor has be considered essential. The Economist (1998) indicated that a lot
of issues need to be addressed to make capital markets safer. Transparency,
strengthening financial system and managing crises are the issues, which cannot be
quickly fixed. But they add up to a stronger system. David Bullard (1998) in Business
Times has indicated that the private investors are the big losers on South African
listings scam. Companies with no earning record and with inexperienced directors
got listed on stock exchanges. Their only objective was profit making out of inflated
market price. The net result is private investors lost confidence in the market. Lee
Hsien Loong (2000) while addressing Financial Institutions in Bangkok stressed the
importance of rebuilding investor confidence for prosperity of ASEAN countries. He
indicated that for investor confidence, rebuilding of sound fundamentals, dealing with
capital account risks, economic co-operation among ASEAN, corporate restructuring,
banking sector reforms and improvement of political and social conditions is
important. Joseph.J.Oliver (2002) in his presentation to the senate standing
committee on banking, trade and commerce, suggested that close to half of all
Canadians have investments in equities and their confidence is essential to healthy
and dynamic capital market. Deep bear market, corporate scandals, insider trading,
high levels of executive compensation and in accuracy of published financial
statements are cited as reasons for lack of investor confidence in Canadian capital
markets. He indicated that regulators, the accounting professionals, analysts,
brokerage firms, public companies, shareholders and Government must contribute to
ensure good corporate governance and reduce corporate failures. McCall (2002) in
his testimony before the committee on financial services United States house
representatives, observed that integrity of the financial markets and economic well
being of the country depend on corporate accountability and investor confidence. The
Hindu (2002), online edition of Indian national newspaper has indicated that the spate of
50
scandals in United States were being addressed by stricter laws and strong actions against
culprits to prevent any recurrence of these events and to restore investor confidence.
The subject related to consumer behavior of investors participating in the capital
markets have been undertaken by many prominent researchers in the last decade.
Dale W. Jorgensen, (1966) Dept. of Economics, Harvard University in his paper on
capital theory and investment behavior had cited tax policy as a determinant of
investment expenditures through rental price of capital service. Stiglitz and Weiss
(1984) have indicated that any bunch of new entrants into the equity market contains
a number of frauds. Common investors know this, but they cannot identify the frauds.
Heath and Tversky (1991) found that people’s willingness to act on their judgment is
dependent on their subjective competence. They cited that people are willing to bet
on their own judgment when they feel they are knowledgeable and skilful.
Bumgarner and Pime (2000) have studied the capital flows to and from Hong Kong
in the years prior to its reversion to Chinese sovereignty and during the transition.
They have indicated that Government policies have an impact on investor
confidence and capital mobility. Fieldstein and Yitzhaki (2000) have presented
evidence to suggest that the corporate stock owned by high-income investors
appreciate substantially faster than stock owned by investors with lower incomes.
They have indicated that high-income individuals have larger portfolios and can
therefore denote more time or resources to their investments, thus resulting in higher
returns. Dechow, Hutton and Sloan (2001) found that analysts growth forecasts are
routinely over optimistic around new equity offerings, but the most over optimistic are
those analysts employed by the lead underwriters of the offerings. Bloomfield, Libby
and Nelson (2002) have indicated that less informed investors are over confidant in
investments. Providing more information to professional investors only could harm
the welfare of less informed investors if less informed investors are not aware of the
extent of their informational disadvantage. Statman (2002) in his research compared
the investors a century ago with investors today. He concluded that today’s investors
are more rapidly informed than their predecessors, but they are neither better
informed nor better behaved. Hall (2002) has conducted research on broker’s
recommendations. He found that investors, who invested in the Johannesburg
Securities Exchange (JSE) based on their brokers’ advice, were able to get risk
adjusted returns superior or equal to the market. Stout (2002) has indicated that 51
investors have adaptive and not rational expectations. Adaptive expectations result
in both trust and mistrust in securities market based on past actions. Graham and
Harvey (2006) in their paper had cited that the “competence effect” influenced
frequency trading and home bias (tendency to overweight domestic equities and
underweight foreign equities). They had also cited in their findings that male
investors and investors with larger portfolios or more education are likely to perceive
themselves as more competent than female investors and investors with smaller
portfolios and lesser education.
In the Indian context, Gupta (1996) has indicated that from the angle of investor protection,
the regulation of the primary market is important for several reasons. The number of small
investors in primary market is massive. Most of new investors make their first entry into
equity investments via the new issue market. So retaining common investor confidence in
primary markets is important. Madhusoodan (1997) has indicated that in the Indian stock
market, higher risk is not commensurately well priced, hence investment in higher risk
instruments may be of no use. Gokaran (2000) has studied the financing patterns of the
corporate growth in the country. The study indicated that equity markets suffer serious
inadequacies as a mechanism for raising capital. Murali (2002) has indicated that New
issues market (NIM) focuses on decreasing information asymmetry, easy accessibility of
capital by large sections of medium and small enterprises, national level participation in
promoting efficient investments, and increasing a culture of investments in productive sector.
In order that these goals are achieved, a substantial level of improvement in the regulatory
standards in India at the voluntary and enforcement levels is warranted. The most crucial
steps to achieve these goals would be to develop measures to strengthen the new
issues market.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
Customized Brokerage Charges – The brokerage charge by Bonanza is among
the least as compared to other brokerage firms in the industry. The brokerage for
Intraday varies from 0.01 to 0.03% and for Delivery it is 0.1 to 0.3%. The brokerage
varies on the basis of volumes of trading expected from the client. Bonanza also
charges brokerage of 0.01% and 0.1% from some HNI’s.
No Annual Maintenance Charges – There is no Annual Maintenance Charges
(AMC) on Demat and Trading a/c which is there in almost every other big brokerage
firm.
Value Added Services – There are no charges for calling RM’s (Relationship
Managers) in relation to their a/c or trading. A client can call any number of times to
his RM to enquire about his a/c status or to place any order which is chargeable in
other brokerage firm. e.g. ICICI DIRECT charges Rs 12 for enquiring about the a/c
and Rs. 20 for placing any order.
User Friendly Software - The software provided by Bonanza (Power Bonanza) is
very easy to use and reflects the price changes immediately without any time lag.
The client can easily place his order and see the movement of price change of his
favorite scripts without any time delay while other companies like ICICI DIRECT has
a time lag of almost 20-25 seconds or more.
Organized RMS (Risk Management System) – Bonanza has an organized RMS
and this is the reason why clients doesn’t suffer much losses and his position is
squared off automatically with the help of RMS. This is the only reason why Bonanza
suffered least losses as compared to other big brokerage firm when market crashed.
WEAKNESS
Trading of Z category stocks - Z (b1, b2, s, t) category stocks are not allowed to
buy because there is danger of liquidity in the stocks and attracts higher speculation.
These are the stocks which are mainly traded in BSE and Bonanza encourages its
clients to trade only in NSE.
Time consuming process – Every documentation has to be send to HQ (Gurgaon)
because of which the processing of documentation takes time. This centralization is 55
costly also when it comes to sending each document from different parts of the
country to HQ.
OPPORTUNITY
The way ahead - There is a lot of opportunity available in mutual funds and
insurance sector being a pioneer in financial sector in its own way Bonanza should
foray into mutual fund and insurance sector.
Limited reach - Since Bonanza is not present in 2tier cities because of which there
is huge untapped market of rural and small urban sector.
THREATS
FDI in stock broking – As the competition in stock broking increasing and SEBI’s
new norms which allow FDI to enter in stock broking can post a threat to Bonanza.

EXHAUSTIVE SALES PITCH
1. Acquiring Contacts – The first and the foremost thing in sales is to acquire the
contacts. The contacts can be acquired from the following sources –
Company Personnel – The contacts given by company personnel can be of
extreme help. The leads provided by Sr. Relationship Manager are very useful
because they have very good experience in the industry and their contacts with
people from other industry are also good. E.g. A Sr. Relationship Manager having
contacts with a bank official can help to provide some good leads.
Personal Network – The contacts can also be gathered from personal network.
Contacts from families, friends and known sources are much easy to contact and
convince as compare to contacts from any other sources.
Other Sources - Contacts can also be gathered from various other sources.
Contacts can be gathered from internet, yellow pages etc.
2. Preparing Perspective Clients Log – The next step is to give preferences to
contacts gathered. Contacts should be properly sorted out for calling purpose. E.g if
we are approaching the weekend then it is better to sort out those clients first who
are into service because they are busy to fix an appointment during weekdays.
It is also required to call a limited number of people at a particular time and fix an
appointment accordingly because too many appointments can also result in
inefficiency.
3. Making Calls – The next and the main step is to call the database sorted out. During
this stage it is required to tell the client that we have been calling on behalf of
Bonanza and this is in relation to Demat and Trading a/c.
If the client says that he already has a Demat a/c then we need to ask that with
which company he is having a Demat a/c and try to tell the advantages of opening a
Demat a/c with Bonanza as compared to the Demat a/c he is having at present.
58
If the client says that he is not having the Demat a/c then briefly telling about the
offerings and try fixing an appointment with the client.
If the client says that neither he is having any Demat a/c nor he wishes to have one
now then ending the conversation and saving that contact in the database and trying
to contact him again in future when market is good or is in bullish phase to see that if
he is interested now to open the a/c or not.
4. Approaching the Client – When the client agrees for an appointment then we need
to follow Customer Centric Approach. We need to do our homework before
approaching the client. We need to collect all the basic information about the industry
in which the client is. E.g. if the client is in steel sector then we need to collect the
basic information related to steel sector so that we can talk to him related to his field.
We also need to tell the client that how the customer can get good returns by
investing in certain stocks and what is the current position of the stocks in which he
is interested in.
Then it is required to tell the offerings which Bonanza would be giving to him when
he opens the Demat a/c. At this stage it is also required to tell the advantages of
Bonanza in comparison to other players in the market.
Advantages of opening a Demat a/c with Bonanza
No Annual Maintenance Charges – The biggest advantage of opening a Demat a/c
with Bonanza is that it does not charges anything to maintain Demat and trading a/c
in comparison to its competitors.
Excellent service by Relationship Mangers – The service provided to clients is
amongst the best when compared to competitors. The clients are not charged for
making any number of calls to relationship managers in relation to managing their
a/c or trading. The clients are also informed about the latest happenings of share
prices through SMS and through online messengers.
Brokerage charges – The brokerage charges charged to clients varies according to
the clients. Normally the prices which are charged to clients in all the companies are
the same.
0.03% - Intraday
59
0.3% - Delivery (cash)
But if the client is ready to invest more with Bonanza then brokerage charges are
bought to as low as
0.01% - Intraday
0.1% - Delivery (cash)
User friendly software – The software Bonanza Power provided by Bonanza is very
easy to use. The advantage of such software is that it shows the price changes on
regular basis there is no time lag. The software provided by its competitor are neither
that friendly and do not show price changes immediately , there is always some
difference which exist between the market price and price shown by their software.
Marginal trading – Bonannza not only provides general trading to its clients but also
provides marginal trading. In this, the client can take an exposure of up to 7 times
the amount of money he is having in his Trading a/c.
If the response of the client after all this is still negative then asking him the reason
and saving that contact in the database so that if we could solve his query or if
suppose the reason because of which he is not entering the market does not exist
then contacting again and approaching him.
If the response of the client is positive after knowing about the Demat a/c offered by
Bonanza then completing the formalities and closing the deal.
5. Completing the Formalities and Closing the Deal – In the end when the client has
agreed to open the a/c it is required to complete all the formalities.
Requirements to open a Demat a/c are-
Photocopy of Pan Card
Identity Proof
4 Passport size Photographs
Cheque of Rs.900
60
After taking all these things we need to take signature of client on the kit of Bonanza
and thank client for opening a/c with Bonanza.
STUDY OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Sources and Methods:
Collection of Data and Methodology
This survey uses questionnaire (included in annexure A) as the medium to extract
relevant responses that would enrich the study to be undertaken.
A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and
other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although
they are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always
the case. The questionnaire was invented by Sir Francis Galton.
Questionnaires have advantages over some other types of surveys in that they are
cheap, do not require as much effort from the questioner as verbal or telephone
surveys, and often have standardized answers that make it simple to compile data.
The questionnaire is basically a Likert scale model. A Likert scale is a type of
psychometric response scale often used in questionnaires, and is the most widely
used scale in survey research. When responding to a Likert questionnaire item,
respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement. The scale is named
after Rensis Likert, who published a report describing its use.
The responses were expected to be received from those investors who were willing
to spend their time and wished contribute to research willingly only. So it constitutes
a convenience sample which would be collected from people pursuing various
occupations and belonging to different age group. Data collection would be carried
out at major business centers of Indore.
Depending upon the responses received, the investor preferences for the decisions
in capital market issues would be graded using a favorable scale. In the first part the
data collected from the questionnaires would be analyzed using factor analysis.
61
The second part would consist of queries relating to measures that would improve
investor’s confidence in capital markets.
Factor Analysis
Factor analysis was carried out to find out the significant factors affecting investor
decisions. Using data, factor analysis applies an advanced form of correlation
analysis to the responses to a number of statements. The purpose of this analysis is
to determine if the responses to statements are highly correlated.
Broker’s Advice: It can be seen that 58% of the sample had somewhat agreed that
their investment decision depended on the advice of the brokers. Thus the brokerage
firm’s need to concentrate on the credibility the investor’s attach to the broker’s
advice during investment.
Personal Analysis: It can be clearly seen that 45% of the sample were confident in
their own personal analysis to arrive at a decision related to investment. This may be
the result of the efforts undertaken by various organizations in improving the
investor’s attitude towards the market.
62
Online Facility: From the survey it can be seen that there has been an increase in
the degree of confidence an investor attaches towards online trading of shares as
the majority of the sample comprised of people who professionals who are
conversant with the internet. But the majority of the people from the business
community depend on offline trading through their broker’s.
Market Price: The chart shows that majority (68%) of the investors strongly agree
that the current market price of the equities is the most dominant factor affecting their
investment. This figure implies the relative immaturity of the majority of the sample
as most technical analyst’s are of the opinion that historical data pertaining to the
performance of the equities should influence investor’s decisions.
63
Analyst Recommendation: From the figure it can be seen that majority (55%) of
the investors consults publicized articles related to investment before reaching a
decision.
Factors to improve Investors Confidence in future: It is clearly seen from the
survey that investor’s confidence in capital market would increase if there would be
Lesser Scandals.
64
How do you prefer Trading: We can see from the following figure that 63% of the
people prefer doing trading online. This shows the inclination of people towards
online, they are more dependent on online analysis as compared to broker’s advice.
Some people also believe that in online trading transactions are carried out faster as
compared to offline.
65
Why Online Trading: It can be clearly seen that out of 38 people who preferred
Trading Online 37% preferred trading because of the faster transactions in Online as
compared to Offline. They thought that their transactions are carried out much faster
in Online and there is no hard cash engaged in it. Some people also preferred online
just because of the convenience and online analysis.
Why Offline Trading: Out of 22 people who preferred Offline trading 36% of people
preferred it because of the valuable suggestion of Broker. They carried out their
transactions by consulting with their broker. Some people also preferred Offline
Trading because of higher exposure limit in Offline Trading as compared to Online
Trading.

A correlation matrix is a lower triangle matrix showing the simple correlations
between all possible pairs of variables included in the analysis. For factor analysis to
be appropriate, the variables must be correlated. From the above correlation matrix it
could be derived that there exists a certain degree of correlation between the
selected variables assumed to influence investor behavior related to equity trading.
67
Personal Analysis is correlated with Broker’s Advice and Market Price is correlated
with Analyst Recommendation.
Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity can be used to test the null hypothesis that the
variables are uncorrelated in the population; in other words the population correlation
matrix is an identity matrix.
In an identity matrix all the diagonal terms are 1 and all off diagonal terms are 0. The
test statistics for sphericity is based on chi-square transformation of the determinant
of the correlation matrix. A large value of the test will favor the rejection of the null
hypothesis. The approximate chi square statistics is 66.865 with 10 degree of
freedom which is significant at the 0.05 level. Moreover the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin
(KMO) measure of sampling adequacy is an index used to examine the
appropriateness of factor analysis. This index compares the magnitudes of the
observed correlation coefficients to the magnitudes of the partial correlation
coefficients. The value of the KMO statistics (0.573) is also large (> 0.5). Thus, factor
analysis can be considered an appropriate technique for analyzing the correlation
matrix.
Communality is the amount of variance that a variable shares with all the other
variables considered. This is also the proportion of variance explained by the
common factors. Under “communalities,” “Initial” column, it can be seen that the
communality for each variable from Broker Advice to Analyst Recommendation is 1.0
as unities are inserted in the diagonal of the correlation matrix.

Initial Extraction
Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.
The second column under the “communalities” gives relevant information after the
desired numbers of factors have been extracted. The communalities of the variables
under “Extraction” are different than under “Initial” because all the variances
associated with the variables are not explained unless all the factors are retained.

The eigenvalue represents the total variance explained by each factor. The table
“initial Eigenvalues” gives the Eigenvalues. The Eigenvalues for the factors are, as
expected, in decreasing order of magnitudes as we go from factor 1 to factor 5. The
Eigenvalues for a factor indicates the total variance attributed to that factor. The total
variance accounted for all the five variables is 5.00, which is equal to the number of
variables. Factor 1 account for a variance of 1.212, which is (1.212/5) or 24.236
percent of the total variance. Likewise, the second factor accounts for (1.074/5) or
21.478 percent of the total variance, and the third variable accounted for (1.039/5) or
20.777 percent of the total variance therefore the first three variables accounted for
66.491 percent of the total variance.
“Extraction Sums of Squared Loadings” give the variance associated with the factors
that are retained. These are the same as under “Initial Eigenvalues” as the technique
implemented would is principal component analysis.
69
A Scree plot is a plot of Eigenvalues against the number of factors in order of
extraction. The slope of the plot is used to determine the number of factors.
Typically, the plot has a distinct break between the steep slope of factors, with large
Eigenvalues and gradual trailing off associated with the rest of the factors. This
gradual trailing off is referred to as a scree.

Scree Plot
With reference to the above scree plot it can be observed that a distinct break occurs
at three factors. Finally, from the cumulative percentage of variance accounted for,
we see that the first three factors accounts for 66.491 percent of the variance, and
that the gain achieved in going to four factors is marginal. Furthermore, the
eigenvalue determination also indicates that an assumption of three factors is fairly
reasonable.
The component matrix contains the factor loadings of all the variables on all the
factors extracted. The factor matrix contains the coefficients used to express the
standardized variables in terms of factors. These coefficients, the factor loadings,
represent the correlations between the factors and the variables. A coefficient with a
large absolute value indicates that the factor and the variable are closely related.
70
The coefficients of the factor matrix can be used to interpret the factors. But although
the initial factor matrix indicates the relationship between the factors that can be
interpreted, because the factors are correlated with many variables.

In the case under consideration factor 1 is correlated to two of the variables and
factor 3 is also correlated to two of the variables (absolute value of factor loading is >
0.5). Therefore it becomes difficult to correctly interpret the factors without rotation.
In rotating the factors, the percentage of variance accounted for by each factor does
change. The variance explained by the individual factor is redistributed by rotation. In
the present case we have adopted the varimax procedure that minimizes the number
of variables with high loadings on a factor, thereby enhancing the interpretability of
the factors.

In the rotated factor matrix Factor 1 has high coefficients with Broker Advice and

Therefore we can summarize the data by stating that investors appear to seek
three major kinds of benefits from trading firms: Analysis (Broker’s Advice and
Personal Analysis), Market Condition (Analyst Recommendation and Market Price)

Factor scores are composite scores estimated for each respondent on the derived
factors. These factor scores could be used instead of the original variables in
subsequent analysis. The unique factors are correlated with each other and with the
common factors. The common factors can themselves be expressed as linear
combinations of the observed variables.

It is possible to select weighs or factor score coefficients so that the first factor
explains the largest portion of the total variance. Then a second set of weighs can be
selected, so that the second factor accounts for most of the residual variance,
subject to being uncorrelated with the first factor. This same principle could be
applied to selecting additional weights for the additional factors. Thus, the factors
can be estimated so that their factor scores, unlike the values of the original
variables, are not correlated. Furthermore, the first factor accounts for the highest
variance in the data, the second factor the second highest, and so on.
LIMITATIONS
In relation to Consumer Behavior
The study will be limited to INDORE only.
Due to recency effect the response of a consumer can vary which can affect the
survey.
A limited sample size of sixty clients only was considered for the primary survey
pertaining to study of investor behavior.
In relation to Marketing of Demat a/c
73
Past data on the customer information such as their telephone number and
residential address sometimes inaccurate lead to immense wastage of time.
One of the main problems was Language Problem I do not understand Telegu and
sometimes I came across people who do not understand Hindi and are also not very
verse in English.

Conclusion
In this study, the decisions taken by small investors while investing in equity primary
markets were studied. The decisions studied were investment in listed companies
with good current market price, investment based on the advice from the broker,
personal analysis of the offer document, confidence pertaining to electronic trading
and using analysts’ recommendations in investment decisions. 68% of investors
strongly agreed that current market price is important. 58% investors somewhat
agree to the use of investment advice from the broker. 45% of the investors agree to
a great extent that they do personal analysis of the offer document before investing.
35% indicated that they consider online trading to a great extent as reliable. 55%
investors agreed to a great extent that they use analysts’ recommendations in the
investment decisions.
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) – National Council for Applied
Economic Research (NCAER) report (June 2006) indicates that despite the
expansion of the securities market, a very small percentage (5 %) household savings
is channeled into the securities market. Out of 12.1 million equity investors, 84%
have invested in equity market through primary market. Thus primary markets play
an important role in bringing investments into equity markets. Also the report
indicates that 80% of equity investor households were first generation investors.
So retaining their confidence is important. Report has also indicated that there is a
decrease in preference for equity due to the losses made in investments by the
investors in equity markets. These losses in primary market are due to lower market
price after listing. The study conducted on investor confidence also indicated the
importance of issue price and market price, which were given an overall first and
third respectively.
Another aspect identified by SEBI – NCAER report is that inadequate diversification
of portfolio is the main reason for lack of protection from volatility in the market. For
proper diversification, information about investment avenues or financial assets, also
macro and micro level changes affecting market prices and understanding about
diversification is important. Thus information about the issue and how it is going to
affect one’s own portfolio is to be analyzed.
76
The investor confidence survey also indicates that information availability is second
important factor, next to issue price. It indicates that investors prefer personal
analysis to brokers’ advice.
For carrying out personal analysis also information is required. Thus information
plays an important role in investment decisions and needs of the investors in this
area also need to be addressed.
Society for Capital Market Research and Development (SCMRD) (June 2001) report
indicates that the reforms made secondary market safer but primary market is still
perceived riskier than before. Thus policy initiatives are required for reducing this
perceived risk. Investors have suggested number of recommendations in this regard.
As regards the various factors that would increase investor confidence in capital
markets lesser scandals weighed the most with 52% of the investor’s opting for it,
followed by better regulations that added up to 37% which is thereafter followed by
government policies, intermediaries and market information. The last three scoring
less may be considered as increase in investor confidence in the Government
policies, intermediaries and market information sources (such as business
newspapers, magazines etc.
Recommendations
For Brokerage Firms and Investors based on the study
Brokerage firms should consider educational institutes offering professional
and post graduate level courses as avenues of business. Actively participating in
seminars, putting up stalls could help them in generating an interest towards capital
markets.
Domestic Brokerage firms should collaborate with foreign trading firms to
allow investors to invest in foreign markets that offer returns commensurate with the
risk involved.
Brokerage Firms should be a source of reliable market information as most
investors consider personal analysis more important than broker’s advice.
77
The investors should be provided information pertaining to studies that are
undertaken by experts to forecast trends.
They should provide tips on investment through messenger and sms’s but this
should be sent directly from the corporate offices rather than individual relationship
managers to increase the veracity of the tips.
The investors should be educated about online trading to avoid
misinterpretation information offered by the relationship managers.
For Bonanza
Bonanza is not present in 2-tier cities which lead to less business generation for the
company. So they should enter in 2 tier cities so that they can capture the untapped
market.
Bonanza does not deal in Z category shares which again lead to less business
generation. It should allow its investors to also trade in Z category shares which
would in turn lead to more business for the company.
Being a pioneer in Financial Sector Bonanza should foray into Mutual Funds and
Insurance Sector.
