PART -I ORGANISATION PROFILE
INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY
What is stock market?
A stock market or equity market is a public (a loose network of economic transactions, not a
physical facility or discrete) entity for the trading of company stock (shares) and derivatives at an
agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion at the start of October
2008. The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion face or nominal
value, 11 times the size of the entire world economy.
About the Indian stock marketIn India there are 23 stock exchanges of which the major ones are:
Bombay stock exchange(BSE)
National Stock Exchange(NSE)
BSE:-At the end of the American civil war, the brokers who thrived out of this war in 1874, found a
place in a street, where they would easily assemble and transact business. This street is nowadays,
popularly known as DALAL STREET. In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, and were
known as “Native Shares and Stock Brokers Association”. In 1895, it acquired a premise in the
same street and finally was inaugurated in 1899 with the name Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
India's premier stock exchange Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) can also trace back its origin to as
far as 125 years when it started as a voluntary non-profit making association. You hear about it
any time it reaches a new high or a new low, and you also hear about it daily in statements like
'The BSE Sensitive Index rose 5% today'. Obviously, stocks and stock markets are important.
Stocks of public limited companies are bought and sold at a stock exchange. But what really are
stock exchanges? Known also as News on the stock market appears in different media every day.
The stock market , a stock exchange is an organized marketplace for securities (like stocks, bonds,
options) featured by the centralization of supply and demand for the transaction of orders by
member brokers, for institutional and individual investors. The exchange makes buying and selling
easy. The need for stock exchanges developed out of early trading activities in agricultural and
other commodities. During the middle Ages, traders found it easier to use credit that required
supporting documentation of drafts, notes and bills of exchange.
India's other major stock exchange National Stock Exchange (NSE), promoted by leading financial
institutions, was established in April 1993. Over the years, several stock exchanges have been
established in the major cities of India. There are now 23 recognised stock exchanges — Mumbai
(BSE, NSE and OTC), Calcutta, Delhi, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhubhaneswar,
Coimbatore, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Patna, Pune,
Rajkot, Vadodara, Indore and Meerut.
NSE: -With the liberalization of Indian economy it was found necessary to lift the Indian stock markets
on par with the international standards. The NSE was incorporated in 1992 by industrial
development bank of India, industrial credit and Investment Corporation of India, industrial
finance corporation of India, all insurance corporations, selected commercial banks and others.
NSE is India’s leading stock exchange covering more than 160 cities and towns across the country.
It provides the modern fully computerized trading system designed to offer investors across the
country a safe and easy way to invest to liquidate investment and securities. Investors in many
areas of country did not have the same access and opportunity to trade so there arise the need for
setting up the national stock exchange. The NSE network has been designed to provide equal
access to investors from anywhere in India and to be responsive to their needs.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contract Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE
started operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. Capital market
(equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994, and operations in derivative
segment started in June 2000.NSE started trading in the capital market segment on November3,
1994 and within one year became the largest exchange in India, in terms of volumes transacted.
During the year 2005-06 NSE reported, a turnover of Rs 1,569,556 crores in the equity segment.
The Indian retail brokerage market, which is going through a wonderful phase with high growth
rate. The total trading volume of the Indian brokerage companies stood at US$ 1239.1 billion in
the year 2004, which increased to US$ 1492.1 billion in 2005. It is further expected to reach US$
6535.7 billion by the year 2015.

MARKET AND MARKETING
TYPES OF MARKETS
(A)Primarymarket(IPO’s):
In financial markets, an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the first sale of a company's
common shares to public investors. The company will usually issue only primary shares,
but may also sell secondary shares. Typically, a company will hire an investment banker
to underwrite the offering and a corporate lawyer to assist in the drafting of the
prospectus. The sale of stock is regulated by authorities of financial supervision and where
relevant by a stock exchange.
It is usually a requirement that disclosure of the financial situation and prospects of a
company be made to prospective investors. The Federal Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) regulates the securities markets of the United States and, by
extension, the legal procedures governing IPOs. The law governing IPOs in the United
States includes primarily the Securities Act of 1933, the regulations issued by the SEC, and
the various state "Blue Sky Laws".
(B) Secondarymarket:
The secondary market (also called "aftermarket") is the financial market for trading of
securities that have already been issued in its initial private or public offering. Stock
exchanges are examples of secondary markets. Alternatively, secondary market can refer to
the market for any kind of used goods.
Function of the secondarymarket:
In the secondary market, securities are sold by and transferred from one speculator to
another. It is therefore important that the secondary market be highly liquid and transparent.
The eligibility of stocks and bonds for trading in the secondary market is regulated
through financial supervisory authorities and the rules of the market place in question,
which could be a stock exchange.

interview for filling up vacancies in branches but the recruitment is done by the branch

Any new recruit is firstly inducted to the company and sent to T & D department

activities/jobs within the department he/she is to be recruited. Suppose if, I would be
recruited for finance department then the finance related employees are known to me wit
their work profiles, that is, what they really do?
Then the specific job training is provided at H/O and the person has to keep in
touch with the concerned department at H/O on internet because he/she has t solve many
conflicts arising in the investor’s mind and to have an up-to-date information regarding the
procedures and any new facilities or policies to resolve the problems of the clients. It is a

Finance DepartmentLike blood is the most important factor in our body, Finance is the blood of any
business. Finance is needed for all the activities like production or services as well as their
distribution. The finance department directly influences all the functions of the other
departments. Also finance has to give equal importance to all departments. Finance is that
administrative area or set of administrative function in an organization may have the means
to carry out its objective as satisfactorily as possible. Sharekhan has special accounts
department for separate calculation of pay-in and pay-out of funds according to the client’s
Proft/Loss. Finance management is done at Sharekhan is done by managing the stocks in
the demat accounts and funds in the margin & trading accounts
Finance
Finance is the lifeblood of an organization to continue its activities and the finance
management at Sharekhan can be divided into two major parts viz. DP (Depository
Participation) and Accounts management, which are shown in the figure given above.
DP means providing the facility to the clients for managing the stock bought/sold
by them. DP covers two major terminologies viz. settlements and the auctions which is a
part of managing demat account. Settlements as defined by SEBI are T+2, currently and it
means that the demat account of the clients are prone to be sufficient for selling a script
with no debit at all, i.e., the account must have the sold amount of stock to fulfill the
settlement after 2 days from trade-day. Generally, the timings are 9:30 and 3:00 as a
deadline for the client and he must provide the stock for giving a delivery to the buyer. The
chart show the total transaction between two clients:
DP Accounts
The chart shows the process that the request for selling and buying passes through
the DPs of the respective clients and finally the exchanges like SKSE (Saurashtra Kutch
Stock Exchange) becomes the controlling intermediary for the delivery of stocks and this
process is done in two days. Nowadays, as banks are becoming fast for E-Fund Transfer
(EFT) and Phone-banking is getting more popularity, SEBI is thinking to make the
financial market of India to have a maximum speed of transactions just like the other
nations in the world and proposing for T+1 settlement scheme but the system is not enough
competent for that thing. But soon or later we will have such a settlement system in India,
as said by Mr. J. N. Bajpai, chairman of SEBI.
C DP (Sharekhan) E DP (anyone) C
The client, if not capable of providing the delivery of say, 1000 shares of SAIL then
the Auctions are initiated by the exchanges and the client has to pay for the price
prevailing in the market with 4-5% penalty. The penalty can go on maximum to 20% more
than the market price of the sold stock. Generally, it is known as a buying auction and a
same kind of auction is for selling the stock for which the buyer was proved unable to pay
the price is carried out by exchange, known as the selling auction. And a debit or credit
note is provided in the respective case of auction to the clients, i.e., for buying auction
debit note is given on the T+4 basis and in case of selling auction the credit note is given
on T+5 basis. There are two types of auctions called as Internal auctions & Market
auctions, the internal auctions are defines as the auctions carried out between the other
shops of Sharekhan and market auctions are those as explained earlier, the auction carried
out in the market.
This is all about settlements but now switch to funds management or accounts
management at Sharekhan. The accounts are different that is the margin a/c for deposits of
the client and trading a/c for which Profit/Loss are settled. The collection of funds from the
clients who had a debit balance or made a loss are made on the next day of trading and the
payments to the profiting traders are made after two days of trading because the cheques
are received from H/O and then pay-out is done and Pay-in is as explained that amounts to
be taken from the clients. In this way, accounts are managed but in case if the client is
unable to pay, the deposit from the margin a/c is cut down to the payments and in case if a
client is having a credit balance in F&O trading though he had a debit balance in cash-NSE
& BSE trading, a JV request is sent to H/O for totaling the three balances. The main aim
for accounts management is that the clients must have a credit or no debit on the next day.
The DP services provided by Sharekhan are falling under the regulation of NSDL
(National Securities Depository Limited) and CDSL (Central Depository Services
Limited), organizations governed by SEBI to regulate the depository services in the
interest of the investors. So, the financial market in India is governed by Ministry of
finance under which two major bodies viz. SEBI & RBI are covered and under RBI the
banks and other financial institutions are covered while SEBI covers the exchanges, NSDL
& CDSL and the whole DP service providers with the brokers to the investors.
In this way we have gained a meaningful knowledge about India’s financial market and itsstructure from this training at Sharekan. In this way, the finance function is carried out atSharekhan by following the guidelines given by SEBI. And the company is a private limited onewith its own policies for disclosing its financial statement.

PART –II PROJECT STUDY :
(A)INRODUCTION OF PORTFOLIO MANAGMENT
SERVICES :
Portfolio (finance) means a collection of investments held by an
institution or a private individual. Holding a portfolio is often part of an
investment and risk-limiting strategy called diversification. By owning
several assets, certain
types of risk (in particular specific risk) can be reduced. There are
also portfolios which are aimed at taking high risks –
these are called concentrated portfolios.
Investment management is the professional management of
various securities (shares, bonds etc) and other assets (e.g. real estate),
to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the investors.
Investors may be institutions (insurance companies,pension funds,
corporations etc.)or private investors (both directly via investment
contracts and more commonly via collective investment schemes e.g.
mutual funds)
The term asset management is often used to refer to the investment
management of collective investments, whilst the more generic
fund management may refer to all forms of institutional investment as
well as investment management for private investors. Investment
managers who specialize in advisory or discretionary management on
behalf of (normally wealthy) private investors may often refer to
their services as wealth management or portfolio management often
within the context of so-called "private banking".
The provision of 'investment management services' includes elements of
financial analysis, asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation
and ongoing monitoring of investments. Outside of the financial
industry, the term "investment management" is often applied to
investments other than financial instruments. Investments are often
meant to include projects, brands, patents and many things other than
stocks and bonds. Even in this case, the term implies that rigorous
financial and economic analysis methods are used.
(B)Needof PMS
As in the current scenario the effectiveness of PMS is required. As the
PMS gives investors periodically review their asset allocation across
different assets as the portfolio can get skewed over a period of time.
This can be largely due to appreciation / depreciation in the value of the
investments.
As the financial goals are diverse, the investment choices also need to
be different to meet those needs. No single investment is likely to meet
all the needs, so one should keep some money in bank deposits and / liquid
funds to meet any urgent need for cash and keep the balance in other
investment products/ schemes that would maximize the return and
minimize the risk. Investment allocation can also change depending on
one’s risk-return profile.
(C)ObjectiveofPMS
There are the following objective which is full filled by Portfolio
Management Services.
1. Safety Of Fund: -
The investment should be preserved, not be lost, and should
remain in the returnable position in cash or kind.
2. Marketability: -
The investment made in securities should be marketable
that means, the securities must be listed and
traded in stock exchange so as to avoid difficulty in their
encashment.
3. Liquidity: -
The portfolio must consist of such securities, which could be
en- cashed without any difficulty or involvement of time to meet
urgent need for funds. Marketability ensures liquidity to the portfolio.
4. Reasonable return: -
The investment should earn a reasonable return to upkeep
the declining value of money and be compatible with opportunity
cost of the money in terms of current income in the form of
interest or dividend.
5. Appreciation in Capital: -
The money invested in portfolio should grow and result into
capital gains.
6. Tax planning: -
Efficient portfolio management is concerned with composite
tax planning covering income tax, capital gain tax, wealth tax and gift
tax.
7. Minimize risk: -Risk avoidance and minimization of risk are important objective of
portfolio management. Portfolio managers achieve these objectives
by effective investment planning and periodical review of market,
situation and economic environment affecting the financial market.
(D)PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PROCESS :1.specification of investment objectives and constraints
2.choice of the asset mix
3.formulation of [portfolio strategy
4.selection of securities
5.portfolio execution
The Portfolio Construction of Rational investors wish to maximize
the returns on their funds for a given level of risk. All investments
possess varying degrees of risk. Returns come in the form of income, such
as interest or dividends, or through growth in capital values (i.e. capital
gains).
The portfolio construction process can be broadly characterized as
comprising the following steps:
1.Settingobjectives.
The first step in building a portfolio is to determine the main objectives ofthe fund given the constraints (i.e. tax and liquidity requirements) thatmay apply. Each investor has different objectives, time horizons andattitude towards risk. Pension funds have long-term obligations and,as a result, invest for the long term. Their objective may be to maximizetotal returns in excess of the inflation rate. A charity might wish to generatethe highest level of income whilst maintaining the value of its capitalreceived from bequests. An individual may have certain liabilities and wishto match them at a future date. Assessing a client’s risk tolerance canbe difficult. The concepts of efficient portfolios and diversification mustalso be considered when setting up the investment objectives
2. DefiningPolicy.
Once the objectives have been set, a suitable investment policy must
be established. The standard procedure is for the money manager to ask
clients to select their preferred mix of assets, for example equities and
bonds, to provide an idea of the normal mix desired. Clients are then
asked to specify limits or maximum and minimum amounts they will
allow to be invested in the different assets available. The main asset
classes are cash, equities gilts/bonds and other debt instruments,
derivatives, property and overseas assets. Alternative investments, such
as private equity, are also growing in popularity, Attaining the optimal
asset mix over time is one of the key factors of successful investing.
3. Applying portfoliostrategy.
At either end of the portfolio management spectrum of
strategies are active and passive strategies. An active strategy
involves predicting trends and changing expectations about the likely
future performance of the various asset classes and actively dealing
in and out of investments to seek a better performance. For
example, if the manager expects interest rates to rise, bond prices
are likely to fall and so bonds should be sold, unless this expectation
is already factored into bond prices. At this stage, the active fund
manager should also determine the style of the portfolio. For
example, will the fund invest primarily in companies with
large market capitalizations, in shares of companies expected to
generate high growth rates, or in companies whose valuations are
low? A passive strategy usually involves buying securities to match
a preselected market index. Alternatively, a portfolio can be set up
to match the investor’s choice of tailor-made index. Passive
strategies rely on diversification to reduce risk. Outperformance
versus the chosen index is not expected. This strategy requires
minimum input from the portfolio manager. In practice, many active
funds are managed somewhere between the active and passive
extremes, the core holdings of the fund being passively
managed and the balance being actively managed.
4. Assetselections.
Once the strategy is decided, the fund manager must select
individual assets in which to invest. Usually a systematic
procedure known as an investment process is established, which
sets guidelines or criteria for asset selection. Active strategies
require that the fund managers apply analytical skills and judgment
for asset selection in order to identify undervalued assets and to try
to generate superior performance.
5. Performanceassessments.
In order to assess the success of the fund manager, the
performance of the fund is periodically measured against a pre-
agreed benchmark – perhaps a suitable stock exchange index or
against a group of similar portfolios (peer group comparison).
Theportfolio construction process is continuously
iterative, reflecting changes internally and externally. For example,
expected movements in exchange rates maymake overseas
investment more attractive, leading to changes in asset
allocation. Or, if many large-scale investors simultaneously decide
to switch from passive to more active strategies, pressure will
be put on the fund managers to offer more active funds. Poor
performance of a fund may lead to modifications in individual asset
holdings or, as an extreme measure; the manager of the fund may
be changed altogether.
