EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
According to economic theorists, investors think and behave rationally
when buying and selling stocks. Generally investors are presumed to use all
available information to form rational expectations in investment decision making.
In reality, individual investors do not think and behave rationally. To the contrary,
driven by greed and fear , investors speculate s toc ks bet wee n unr eal i s t ic
h i ghs and l ows . They a r e mi s l ed by ex t r emes o f emo t i on , subjec tive
thinking and the herd mentali ty. Indian stock market is considered to be
highly volatile, sensitive and reactive to unanticipated shocks and news. At

af ter sho ck s. Th e rol e an d imp or tan ce of individual investors and their
trading behavior is not properly discounted. It is believed that trading behavior of
individual investors rarely influences the stock prices. The paper intends to analyze the
determinants of the individual investor behavior of Indian stock market and
factors affecting their investment decisions. An empirical study is conducted
to analyze the investment behavior and decision making style of individual investors.
Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to find the relative importance of
different behavioral traits of the investors.

ABOUT STOCK EXCHANGE
Stock Exchange is an institution evolved in industrially developed capitalist economics
with free market mechanism. In typical free market, the individual investor would
ideally choose to make money available to those new or existing enterprises which offer
the best prospect of immediate and continuing profit. And since he is entitled to withdraw
money from a less profitable enterprise by selling his shares, as long as he can find a
buyer and to reinvest it, he will be continually looking for new and more profitable
outlets for his money. Therefore, in theory, stock exchange was termed as institution
allocator of resources par excellence.
The stock exchange an institution broadly fulfilling the following objectives:
Making funds available to entrepreneurs for business activity ;
Ensuring maximum return on the investment made by the investors;
Providing platform for saving, investment and reinvestment activity.
In India, however, the institution of stock exchange evolved and developed as an
organization offering place for speculative activity, which had little to do with industrial
financing and investment activity. After 1865, a number of financial failures and
problems in speculative activity led brokers to form an association in 1875. It was only
the disaster that followed the boom, which brought the brokers together in July, 1875 to
form an association that is today called the Stock Exchange, Bombay.
Stock exchange remain absolutely on the borders of industrial financing and
investment activity in pre-independence economy, the primary reason being the general
distrust by the public of private business. With the absence of any meaningful role inindustrial financing and investment activity, the functioning, organization and
management of the institution of stock exchange tended to develop as that of an
organization primarily concerned with speculative activity. The organization and
management of major stock exchanges formed during this period did not prove to be
-

positive to the developments and desirable changes later, more particularly during the
period of 1980s.
The recent reforms in stock markets were triggered by issues of surveillance and
any developments that will have a bearing on the quality and effectiveness of the
surveillance and implications on the quality of growth. This is an important aspect that
should be seriously addressed to the stock markets and the regulators. While government
and regulatory authorities will have a greater role to play in promoting competition, the
stock exchanges at their individual level have to take keen interest and initiate measures
that would promote greater inter-exchange cooperation helping each other on overcoming
shortfalls and setbacks. A fair degree of cooperation is required with in the stock
exchanges in the country to avoid imprudent practices and inducements that will be
harmful to the health of the markets,
The term Stock Market' is a concept for the mechanism that enables the trading of
company stocks (collective shares), other securities and derivatives. The stock market is
one of the most important sources for companies to raise money. This allows businesses
to go public, or raise additional capital for expansion. The liquidity that an exchange
provides affords investors the ability to quickly and easily sell securities. This is an
attractive feature of investing in stocks, compared to other less liquid investments such as
real estate.
History has shown that the price of shares and other assets is an important part of the
dynamics of economic activity, and can influence or be an indicator of social mood.
Rising share prices, for instance, tend to be associated with increased business investment
and vice versa. Share prices also affect the wealth of households and their consumption.
Therefore, central banks tend to keep an eye on the control and behavior of the stock
market and, in general, on the smooth operation of financial system functions. .
Exchanges also act as the clearinghouse for each transaction, meaning that they collect
and deliver the shares, and guarantee payment to the seller of a security. This eliminates
the risk to an individual buyer or seller that the counterparty could default on the
transaction.

The smooth functioning of all these activities facilitates economic growth in that lower
costs and enterprise risks promote the production of goods and services as well as
employment. In this way the financial system contributes to increased prosperity.
Despite its expansion a very small percentage of households savings is channelized into
the securities market. What worries further is the intention revealed that the majority of
existing shareholders are unlikely to invest in the securities market in the coming years. It
indicates lack of confidence by the existing investors in the securities market. The recent
crises on the equity market has been highlighted the deficiencies of governance with
broker-run exchanges. While there is a broad agreement that the governance structures of
the broker-run exchanges need to be transformed.
HISTORY OF STOCK EXCHANGES IN INDIA
The origin of stock exchanges in India can be traced back to the later half of 19th century.
After the American Civil War (1860-61) due to the share mania of the public, the number
of brokers dealing on shares increased. The brokers organized an informal association in
Mumbai named The Native Stock and Share Brokers Association in 1875.
Increased activity in trade and commerce during the First World War and Second
World War resulted in an increase in stock trading. Stock exchanges were established in
different centers like Chennai, Delhi, Nagpur, Kanpur, Hyderabad and Bangalore. Thegrowth of stock exchanges suffered a set back after the end of World War. Worldwide
depression affected them. Most of the stock exchanges in the early stages had a
speculative nature of working without technical strength. Securities and Contract
Regulation Act, 1956 gave powers to the central government to regulate the stock
exchanges. The stock exchanges in Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Delhi,
Hyderabad and Indore were recognized by the SCR Act.
Till recent past, floor trading took places in all stock exchanges. In the floor
trading system, the trade takes place through open outcry system during the official
trading hours. Trading posts are assigned for different securities were buy and sell
activities of securities took place. This system needs a face to face contact among the
traders and restrict the trading volume. The speed of new information reflected on the

prices was rather slow. The deals were also not transparent and the system favored the
brokers rather than the investors.
The setting up of NSE and OTCEI with the screen based trading facility resulted in more
and more stock exchanges turning towards the computer based trading. Bombay stock
exchange introduced the screen based trading system in 1995.
Madras stock exchange introduced Automated Network Trading System (MANTRA) on
Oct 7th 1996. Apart from Bombay stock exchange, Vadodara, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore,
Calcutta and Ahmedabad stock exchanges have introduced screen based trading. Other
exchanges are also planning to shift to the screen based trading.

days.
FUNCTIONS OF STOCK EXCHANGE
The functions of Stock Exchanges are as followed:
Maintains Active Trading: Shares are traded on the stock exchanges, enabling the
investors to buy and sell securities. The prices may vary from transaction to
transaction. A continuous trading increases the liquidity or marketability of the
shares traded on the stock exchanges.
Aids In Financing The Industry: A continuous market for shares provides a
favorable climate for raising capital. The negotiability and transferability of the
securities helps the companies to raise long-term funds.
Fixation Of Prices: Price is determined by the transactions that flow from
investors demand and suppliers preferences. Usually the traded prices are made
known to the public. This helps the investors to make better decisions.
Ensures Safe And Fair Dealings: The rules, regulations and by-laws of the stock
exchanges provide a measure of safety to the investors. Transactions are
conducted under competitive conditions enabling the investors to get a fair deal.
Performance Inducer: The prices of stocks reflect the performance of the traded
companies. This makes the corporate more concerned with its public image and
tries to maintain good performance.
Dissemination of Information: Stock exchanges provide information through
their various publications. They publish the share prices traded on daily basisalong with the volume traded. Handouts, Handbooks and Pamphlets provide
information regarding the functioning of the stock exchanges.
Self Regulating Organization: The stock exchanges monitor the integrity of the
members, brokers, listed companies and clients. Continuous internal audit

safeguards the investors against unfair trade practices. It settles the disputes
between member brokers, investors and brokers.
MOST COMMONLY USED STOCK EXCHANGES-IN INDIA
THE BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE (BSE)
The Indian stock market is one of the oldest markets in Asia. Its history dates back to
nearly two centuries. The earlier records of security dealings in India are meager and
obscure. The East India Company was the dominant institution in those days and business
in its loans securities was transacted towards the close of the eighteen century.
By the 1830s business in corporate stocks and shares in bank and cotton presses took
place in Bombay. Through the trading list was broader in 1839, there were only a half a
dozen brokers recognized by the banks and merchants.
In 1860-61, the American Civil War broke out and Cotton supply from the United States
of America and Europe was stopped. This resulted in the Share Mania for cotton
trading in India. The number of brokers increased to between 200 and 250. However, at
the end of the American Civil War, 1865 a disastrous slump began- for example, a bank
of Bombay share that had touched Rs. 2850 could only be sold at Rs. 87.
At the same time, brokers found a place in Dalal Street, Bombay where they could
conveniently assemble and transact business. In 1887, they formally established the
Native Share and Stock Brokers Association. In 1895 the association acquired premises
in the same street; it was inaugurated in 1899 as the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The Bombay Stock Exchange is governed by a board, chaired by a non-executive
chairman. The executive director is in charge of the administration of the exchange and is
supported by elected directors, Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) nominees, and
public representatives.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A research design in simply a plan or framework for a study that is used as a guide in
collecting & analyzing the data. It helps the researcher to conduct the study by ensuring
that economical procedures are employed & probing is relevant to the problem.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. Every researcher
has to design methodology for his problem. To understand the system better and to make
practical suggestions for improvement, it is imperative to think in an innovative manner
and within the constraints imposed by the system. To affect this plan and to get deeper
into the system, the following methodology was adopted.
Research Design: - A research design is an arrangement of conditions for collection
and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose
with economy in procedure. The Descriptive or Diagnostic Research Design is used here
it is that research which has not been done earlier in-fact it is based on the new
generalizations of the facts. It includes the finding of new enquires. The research design
implemented in this research is Descriptive and Diagnostic. The descriptive research
studies are those studies which are concerned with describing the characteristics of a
particular individual, or of a group, whereas diagnostic research studies determine the
frequency with which something occur or its association with something else.
Sampling Technique: - Every research is based on some facts and findings
and these are found or calculated through sample, so sample selection and
technique used plays very vital role in any research methodology. It is of twotypes:
a) Non-Probabilistic Sampling : - It is that type of sampling which is
according to the convenience of researcher therefore it is called
convenience research also.
-
7/30/2019 MUK PROJ
20/43
b) Probabilistic Sampling : - Probabilistic sampling is characterized by the
fact that each element of the population is known & non-zero chance of
being included in the sample.
The non probabilistic sampling technique is used here because the findings are based on:-
1. Selected Brokers Interviews
2. Selected Investors Interviews
Data Source: - This project requires data that have
already been collected by someone else or newer one. Here the newer data has
been analyzed there for primary data and secondary data is used.
ResearchInstrument: - Research instrument is used
for collecting the data. This relates to the tools used for collection of data and
other information required for the purpose of the project. Research Instrument
used in the project is questionnaire.
Sample Size: - For the purpose of analysis the
project has been taken with 50 Investors as samples.
Sampling Unit: - It covers Investors as measuring unit.
Sampling Area: - Rohini and Gurgaon

Review of Literature
L.C.Gupta (1991) argues that designing portfolio for a client is much more than merely
picking up securities for investment. The portfolio manager needs to understand the
psyche of his client while designing his portfolio. According to Gupta, investors in India
regard equity, debentures and company deposits as being in more or less the same risk
category and consider including all mutual funds, including all equity funds, almost as
safe as bank deposits.
K.S. Chalapati Rao, M.R. Murthy and K.V.K Ranganathan (1999) in their research article
Some aspects of the Indian Stock Market in the post liberalization period evaluates that
as a part of the process of economic liberalization, the stock market has been assign an
important place in financing the Indian corporate sector. Besides enabling mobilizing
resources for investment, directly from the investors, providing liquidity for the investors
and monitoring and disciplining company management are the principal functions of the
stock market. This paper examines the development in the Indian stock markets during
the nineties in terms of these three roles.
Kevin James (2000), in his research article The Price of Retail Investing in the UK
evaluates the financial wealth services provided by investment funds in UK, the study
identifies that the retail investors largely delegate the management of their wealth to
investment funds. These funds in turn charge retail investors for the portfolio and risk
management services they provide, sparing retail investors the burdensome task of
-
7/30/2019 MUK PROJ
23/43
performing these various services themselves. So in order to choose a sensible fund (a
fund that meets his or her requirements), a retail investor must be able to ascertain the
services provided and the price charged by each of the funds he or she may consider.
Dr. K Santi Swarup (2003) in her research article Measures for improving common
investor confidence in Indian primary market a survey, concentrates on the decisions
taken by the investors while investing in primary markets, the study indicates that the
sample investors give importance to their own analysis as compared to brokers advice.
They also consider market price as a better indicator than analyst recommendations. The
study also identifies factors that are affecting primary market situation in India. Issue
price, information availability, market price after listing and liquidity emerge as
important factors. This study suggests that investors need to be assured of some return
and current level of risk associated with investment in the market is very high. They have
had bad experience in terms of lower market price after listing and high issue price.
Accordingly number of measures in terms of regulatory, policy level and market oriented
were suggested to improve the investor confidence in equity primary markets. However,
this paper does not highlight the measures for improving investor confidence in
secondary market.
C. S. Shylajan and Sushama Marathe (2006) in their research article A study of attitudes
and trading behavior of stock market investors, identify the major factors responsible for
determining the attitudes and trading behavior of stock market investors. Based on their
-
7/30/2019 MUK PROJ
24/43
shared investing attitude and behavior, the stock market investors are classified into two
categories i.e. aggressive investors and non aggressive investors.
John Graham and Alok Kumar (2006) in their study Do dividend clienteles exist?
evidence on dividend preferences of retail investors evaluates portfolio holdings of retail
investors of older and low income category, this study suggests that these investors prefer
dividend paying stocks, the study also highlights the trading behavior of retail investors
and indicates that the investor trades around dividend events are consistent with clientele
behavior. Further, it also points out that old and low income investor exhibits abnormal
buying behavior following dividend announcements.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The stock exchange the important part of country capital market. It is the central place
where industrial securities are bought and sold under a codes of rule and regulation for
consideration through member as broker. The recent implementation made by SEBI leads
to great impact on the stock market.
The main recommendation from the study are as follow:-
The regional stock Exchange have been out of race because of the
technological development of NSE and BSE, so the Government should
initiate and they could be development for commodity exchange which has a
bright future in india ahead.
There should be a complete online system which enables the investor to
participate in and also the general public should be making aware of the
system.
Prevent exploitation of investor by the market malpractices by introducing
formal market making arrangement in best possible manner.
To attract more investor, the companies should introduce more service center
and online share trading because investor are not satisfied till the they do not
meet the dealing physically along with stock Broker/investor.
