Arts Initiative

Today's complex market structures have spun art out of the cocoon of mere aestheticism into a more rooted role as a recognized financial asset, a derivative with immense powers of wealth generation, equal to those of any brick and mortar industry. Given this base, it is now for the greater public-driven organizations concerned with the well being of art, to ensure that all the diverse dimensions of art are nurtured and given the right exposure, so that art permeates more completely into the societal fabric and enriches a wider consciousness.With this vision in mind, Religare Enterprises Limited last year launched Religare Arts Initiative Limited (RAI), a wholly owned subsidiary. So, while most galleries, auction houses and art funds operate art businesses, Religare Art Initiative will conversely leverage business for art.Religare Arts Initiative is committed to the business of arts, the arts as an alternate investment option and is a corporate champion for the cause of Art. The gallery is the first physical manifestation of this initiative.

Equity Trading is possible by:

National Stock Exchange

The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) is a Mumbai-based Stock Exchange. It is the second largest stock exchange in India in terms of daily turnover and number of trades, for both equities and derivative trading. Though a number of other exchanges exist, NSE and the Bombay Stock Exchange are the two most significant stock exchanges in India, and between them are responsible for the vast majority of share transactions. The NSE's key index is the S&P CNX NIFTY, known as the Nifty, an index of fifty major stocks weighted by market capitalization.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. There are at least 2 foreign investors NYSE Euro next and Goldman Sachs who have taken a stake in the NSE. 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%.

Origins

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 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.

NSE was set up with the objectives of: Establishing nationwide trading facility for all types of securities Ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an appropriate telecommunication network Providing fair, efficient & transparent securities market using electronic trading system Enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements Meeting International benchmarks and standards

Within a very short span of time, NSE has been able to achieve its objectives for which it was set up. Indian Capital Markets are a far cry from what they were 12 years back in terms of market practices, infrastructure, technology, risk management, clearing and settlement and investor service. To ensure continuity of business, NSE has built a full-fledged BCP site operational for last 7 years.

NSE'S MARKETS

NSE provides a fully automated screen-based trading system with national reach in the following major market segments: -

Equity OR Capital Markets {NSE's market share is over 65%} Futures & Options OR Derivatives Market {NSE's market share over 99.5%} Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) Mutual Funds (MF) Initial Public Offerings (IPO).

Bombay Stock Exchange

Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich heritage, now spanning three centuries in its

133 years of existence. What is now popularly known as BSE was established as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers' Association" in 1875.

BSE is the first stock exchange in the country, which obtained permanent recognition (in 1956) from the Government of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956. BSE's pivotal and pre-eminent role in the development of the Indian capital market is widely recognized. It migrated from the open outcry system to an online screen-based order driven trading system in 1995. Earlier an Association Of Persons (AOP), BSE is now a corporatised and demutualised entity incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatisation and Demutualization) Scheme, 2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). With demutualization, BSE has two of world's best exchanges, Deutsche Börse and Singapore Exchange, as its strategic partners.

Over the past 133 years, BSE has facilitated the growth of the Indian corporate sector by providing it with an efficient access to resources. There is perhaps no major corporate in India, which has not sourced BSE's services in raising resources from the capital market.

Today, BSE is the world's number 1 exchange in terms of the number of listed companies and the world's 5th in transaction numbers. The market capitalization as on December 31, 2007 stood at USD 1.79 trillion. An investor can choose from more than 4,700 listed companies, which for easy reference, are classified into A, B, S, T and Z groups.

The BSE Index, SENSEX, is India's first stock market index that enjoys an iconic stature, and is tracked worldwide. It is an index of 30 stocks representing 12 major sectors. The SENSEX is constructed on a 'free-float' methodology, and is sensitive to market sentiments and market realities. Apart from the SENSEX, BSE offers 21 indices, including 12 sectoral indices. BSE has entered into an index cooperation agreement with Deutsche Börse. This agreement has made SENSEX and other BSE indices available to investors in Europe and America. Moreover, Barclays Global Investors (BGI), the global leader in ETFs through its brand, has created the BSE SENSEX India Tracker' which tracks the SENSEX. The ETF enables investors in Hong Kong to take an exposure to the Indian equity market.

The first Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) on SENSEX, called "Spice" is listed on BSE. It brings to the investors a trading tool that can be easily used for the purposes of investment, trading, hedging and arbitrage. Spice allows small investors to take a long-term view of the market.

BSE provides an efficient and transparent market for trading in equity, debt instruments and derivatives. It has a nation-wide reach with a presence in more than 359 cities and towns of India. BSE has always been at par with the international standards. The systems and processes

are designed to safeguard market integrity and enhance transparency in operations. BSE is the first exchange in India and the second in the world to obtain an ISO 9001:2000 certifications. It is also the first exchange in the country and second in the world to receive Information Security Management System Standard BS 7799-2-2002 certification for its BSE On-line Trading System (BOLT).

BSE continues to innovate. In recent times, it has become the first national level stock exchange to launch its website in Gujarati and Hindi to reach out to a larger number of investors. It has successfully launched a reporting platform for corporate bonds in India christened the ICDM or Indian Corporate Debt Market and a unique ticker-cum-screen aptly named 'BSE Broadcast’, which enables information dissemination to the common man on the street.In 2006, BSE launched the Directors Database and ICERS (Indian Corporate Electronic Reporting System) to facilitate information flow and increase transparency in the Indian capital market. While the Directors Database provides a single-point access to information on the boards of directors of listed companies, the ICERS facilitates the corporate in sharing with BSE their corporate announcements.

BSE also has a wide range of services to empower investors and facilitate smooth transactions:

Investor Services: The Department of Investor Services redresses grievances of investors. BSE was the first exchange in the country to provide an amount of Rs.1 million towards the investor protection fund; it is an amount higher than that of any exchange in the country. BSE launched a nationwide investor awareness programme- 'Safe Investing in the Stock Market' under which 264 programmes were held in more than 200 cities.

The BSE On-line Trading (BOLT): BSE On-line Trading (BOLT) facilitates on-line screen based trading in securities. BOLT is currently operating in 25,000 Trader Workstations located across over 359 cities in India.

BSEWEBX.com: In February 2001, BSE introduced the world's first centralized exchange-based Internet trading system, BSEWEBX.com. This initiative enables investors anywhere in the world to trade on the BSE platform.

Surveillance: BSE's On-Line Surveillance System (BOSS) monitors on a real-time basis the price movements, volume positions and members' positions and real-time measurement of default risk, market reconstruction and generation of cross market alerts.

BSE Training Institute: BTI imparts capital market training and certification, in collaboration with

reputed management institutes and universities. It offers over 40 courses on various aspects of the capital market and financial sector. More than 20,000 people have attended the BTI programmes

Awards

The World Council of Corporate Governance has awarded the Golden Peacock Global CSR Award for BSE's initiatives in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The Annual Reports and Accounts of BSE for the year ended March 31, 2006 and March 31 2007 have been awarded the ICAI awards for excellence in financial reporting.

MUTUAL FUNDS

A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. The mutual fund will have a fund manager that trades the pooled money on a regular basis. The net proceeds or losses are then typically distributed to the investors annually.Since 1940, there have been three basic types of investment companies in the United States: open-end funds, also known in the U.S. as mutual funds; unit investment trusts (UITs); and closed-end funds. Similar funds also operate in Canada. However, in the rest of the world, mutual fund is used as a generic term for various types of collective investment vehicles, such as unit trusts, open-ended investment companies (OEICs), unitized insurance funds, and undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS).

The value of each unit of the mutual fund, known as the net asset value (NAV), is mostly calculated daily based on the total value of the fund divided by the number of shares currently issued and outstanding. The value of all the securities in the portfolio in calculated daily. From this, all expenses are deducted and the resultant value divided by the number of units in the fund is the fund’s NAV.

Categories of mutual funds:

HISTORY

The stock market crash of 1929 hindered the growth of mutual funds. In response to the stock market crash, Congress passed the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These laws require that a fund be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and provide prospective investors with a prospectus that contains required disclosures about the fund, the securities themselves, and fund manager. The SEC helped draft the Investment Company Act of 1940, which sets forth the guidelines with which all SEC-registered funds today must comply.

With renewed confidence in the stock market, mutual funds began to blossom. By the end of the 1960s, there were approximately 270 funds with $48 billion in assets. The first retail index

fund, First Index Investment Trust, was formed in 1976 and headed by John Bogle, who conceptualized many of the key tenets of the industry in his 1951 senior thesis at Princeton University. It is now called the Vanguard 500 Index Fund and is one of the world's largest mutual funds, with more than $100 billion in assets.

A key factor in mutual-fund growth was the 1975 change in the Internal Revenue Code allowing individuals to open individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Even people already enrolled in corporate pension plans could contribute a limited amount (at the time, up to $2,000 a year). Mutual funds are now popular in employer-sponsored "defined-contribution" retirement plans such as (401(k) s) and (403(b) s) as well as IRAs including Roth IRAs.

As of October 2007, there are 8,015 mutual funds that belong to the Investment Company Institute (ICI), a national trade association of investment companies in the United States, with combined assets of $12.356 trillion. In early 2008, the worldwide value of all mutual funds totaled more than $26 trillion.

USAGE

Mutual funds can invest in many kinds of securities. The most common are cash instruments, stock, and bonds, but there are hundreds of sub-categories. Stock funds, for instance, can invest primarily in the shares of a particular industry, such as technology or utilities. These are known as sector funds. Bond funds can vary according to risk (e.g., high-yield junk bonds or investment-grade corporate bonds), type of issuers (e.g., government agencies, corporations, or municipalities), or maturity of the bonds (short- or long-term). Both stock and bond funds can invest in primarily U.S. securities (domestic funds), both U.S. and foreign securities (global funds), or primarily foreign securities (international funds).

Most mutual funds' investment portfolios are continually adjusted under the supervision of a professional manager, who forecasts cash flows into and out of the fund by investors, as well as the future performance of investments appropriate for the fund and chooses those which

he or she believes will most closely match the fund's stated investment objective. A mutual fund is administered under an advisory contract with a management company, which may hire or fire fund managers.

Mutual funds are subject to a special set of regulatory, accounting, and tax rules. In the U.S., unlike most other types of business entities, they are not taxed on their income as long as they distribute 90% of it to their shareholders and the funds meet certain diversification requirements in the Internal Revenue Code. Also, the type of income they earn is often unchanged as it passes through to the shareholders. Mutual fund distributions of tax-free municipal bond income are tax-free to the shareholder. Taxable distributions can be either ordinary income or capital gains, depending on how the fund earned those distributions. Net losses are not distributed or passed through to fund investors.

Advantages of a MF-:

– Mutual Funds provide the benefit of cheap access to expensive stocks– Mutual funds diversify the risk of the investor by investing in a basket of assets– A team of professional fund managers manages them with in-depth research inputs from investment analysts.

NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value, or NAV, is the current market value of a fund's holdings, less the fund's liabilities, usually expressed as a per-share amount. For most funds, the NAV is determined daily, after the close of trading on some specified financial exchange, but some funds update their NAV multiple times during the trading day. The public offering price, or POP, is the NAV plus a sales charge. Open-end funds sell shares at the POP and redeem shares at the NAV, and so process orders only after the NAV are determined. Closed-end funds (the shares of which are traded by investors) may trade at a higher or lower price than their NAV; this is known as a premium or discount, respectively. If a fund is divided into multiple classes of shares, each class will typically have its own NAV, reflecting differences in fees and expenses paid by the different classes.

Some mutual funds own securities which are not regularly traded on any formal exchange. These may be shares in very small or bankrupt companies; they may be derivatives; or they may be private investments in unregistered financial instruments (such as stock in a non-public company). In the absence of a public market for these securities, it is the responsibility of the fund manager to form an estimate of their value when computing the NAV. How much of a fund's assets may be invested in such securities is stated in the fund's prospectus.

The performance of equity funds can be measured on the basis of: NAV Growth, Total Return; Total Return with Reinvestment at NAV, Annualized Returns andDistributions, Computing Total Return (Per Share Income and Expenses, Per Share CapitalChanges, Ratios, Shares Outstanding), the Expense Ratio, Portfolio Turnover Rate, Fund Size,Transaction Costs, Cash Flow, Leverage.

Every fund sets its benchmark according to its investment objective. The funds performance is measured in comparison with the benchmark. If the fund generates a greater return than the benchmark then it is said that the fund has outperformed benchmark, if it is equal tobenchmark then the correlation between them is exactly 1. And if in case the return is lower than the benchmark then the fund is said to be underperformed.

Working of a Mutual fund:

EXPENSES

Mutual funds bear expenses similar to other companies. The fee structure of a mutual fund can be divided into two or three main components: management fee and non-management expense fees. All expenses are expressed as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the fund.

1) MANAGEMENT FEES-:

The management fee for the fund is usually synonymous with the contractual investment advisory fee charged for the management of a fund's investments. However, as many fund companies include administrative fees in the advisory fee component, when attempting to compare the total management expenses of different funds, it is helpful to define management fee as equal to the contractual advisory fee + the contractual administrator fee. This "levels the playing field" when comparing management fee components across multiple funds.Contractual advisory fees may be structured as "flat-rate" fees, i.e., a single fee charged to the fund, regardless of the asset size of the fund. However, many funds have contractual fees which include breakpoints so that as the value of a fund's assets increases, the advisory fee paid decreases. Another way in which the advisory fees remain competitive is by structuring the fee so that it is based on the value of all of the assets of a group or a complex of funds rather than those of a single fund.

2) NON-MANAGEMENT EXPENSES-:

Apart from the management fee, there are certain non-management expenses which most funds must pay. Some of the more significant (in terms of amount) non-management expenses are: transfer agent expenses (this is usually the person you get on the other end of the phone line when you want to purchase/sell shares of a fund), custodian expense (the fund's assets are kept in custody by a bank which charges a custody fee), legal/audit expense, fund accounting expense, registration expense (the SEC charges a registration fee when funds file registration statements with it), board of directors/trustees expense (the members of the board who oversee the fund are usually paid a fee for their time spent at meetings), and printing and postage expense (incurred when printing and delivering shareholder reports).

3) INVESTOR FEES AND EXPNSES-:

Fees and expenses borne by the investor vary based on the arrangement made with the investor's broker. Sales loads (or contingent deferred sales loads (CDSL)) are not included in

the fund's total expense ratio (TER) because they do not pass through the statement of operations for the fund. Additionally, funds may charge early redemption fees to discourage investors from swapping money into and out of the fund quickly, which may force the fund to make bad trades to obtain the necessary liquidity. For example, Fidelity Diversified International Fund (FDIVX) charges a 1 percent fee on money removed from the fund in less than 30 days.

4) BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS-:

An additional expense which does not pass through the statement of operations and cannot be controlled by the investor is brokerage commissions. Brokerage commissions are incorporated into the price of the fund and are reported usually 3 months after the fund's annual report in the statement of additional information. Brokerage commissions are directly related to portfolio turnover (portfolio turnover refers to the number of times the fund's assets are bought and sold over the course of a year). Usually, higher rate of portfolio turnover returns in higher brokerage commissions. The advisors of mutual fund companies are required to achieve "best execution" through brokerage arrangements so that the commissions charged to the fund will not be excessive.

5) Loads-:

Entry Load/Front-End Load (0-2.25%) - it’s the commission charged at the time of buyingthe fund to cover the cost of selling, processing etc.

Exit Load/Back- End Load (0.25-2.25%) - it is the commission or charged paid when aninvestor exits from a mutual fund, it is imposed to discourage withdrawals. It may reduce tozero with increase in holding period.

COMMODITIES TRADING

Trade pundits are betting big bucks on the commodity trade. And many believe that it would be the next big thing for investors. Surely, bigger than the stocks because globally the commodity trade is about three times the size of equities.

Here’s a reality check. The Indian commodity market is estimated to be around Rs 11,00,000 crore, which includes agricultural commodities (rice, wheat, soya, groundnut, tea, coffee, jute, rubber, spices, cotton, etc), precious metals (gold and silver), base metals (iron ore, aluminum, nickel, lead, zinc, etc) and energy commodities (crude oil and coal).

Commodity trading in India in India a long history. In fact, commodity trading in India started much before it started in many other countries. However, years of foreign rule, droughts and periods of scarcity and Government policies caused the commodity trading in India to diminish. Commodity trading was, however, restarted in India recently. Today, apart from numerous regional exchanges, India has three national commodity exchanges namely, Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) and National Multi-Commodity Exchange (NMCE). The regulatory body is Forward Markets Commission (FMC) which was set-up in 1953.

Religare Commodities Limited (RCL) is a registered commodity broker (With the Forward Market Commission) and is a member of the National Commodities and Derivative Exchange Limited (“NCDEX”), Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (“MCX”) and National Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (“NMCE”), providing commodity broking services to their retail and wealth spectrumclients.

Globalization of the financial market has led to a manifold increase in investment. New markets have been opened; new instruments have been developed; and new services have

been launched. Besides, a number of opportunities and challenges have also been thrown open. Online Commodities trading is new as compared to Equity market in India. Mainly three exchanges are involved in online commodities trading MCX, NCDEX & NMCE.

Religare enterprises Ltd offers a wide choice of products for investing in the stock market & commodities market. It allows investing in shares, mutual funds and other financial products. With Religare Commodity Limited (RCL) one can manage own de-mat & trading account independently.

Religare commodities Ltd (RCL) customers are more satisfied with the quality services. Holding securities in electronic form gives some far-reaching advantages to the investors.

INDIAN RUPEE (INR)

The Indian Rupee is the original official currency of India. The English translation of "Rupee" is "silver," and the name exists because it was previously a silver coin. This very fact had severe consequences in the 19th century, when the strongest economies in the world were on the gold standard. The discovery of vast quantities of silver in the U.S. and various European colonies resulted in a decline in the relative value of silver to gold. Suddenly, the standard currency of India could not buy as much from the outside world. Such circumstances led to what is now referred to as "the fall of the Rupee."

During the period 1950-1951 until mid-December 1973, India followed an exchange rate regime with the Rupee linked to the Pound Sterling, except for the devaluations in 1966 and 1971. When the Pound Sterling floated on June 23, 1972, the Rupee's link to the British unit was maintained-thus, paralleling the Pound's depreciation and de facto devaluation.

In 1975, the Rupee's ties to the Pound Sterling were disengaged. India established a float exchange regime, with the Rupee's effective rate placed on a controlled, floating basis and linked to a "basket of currencies" of India's major trading partners. More recently, the Indian Rupee has been depreciating in step formation, but roughly in line with the fall in its Purchasing Power Parity since the early 1980s. While the PPP was 15 around 1982, the actual exchange rate was 9.30 per US dollar. After the devaluation, the Rupee underwent the change from a controlled regime to a "Managed" or "Dirty" float regime, where the market supposedly determines the exchange rate. In mid 2005, the actual rate was near 43.60. The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of India, and it controls the issuance of currency throughout the nation.

CONCLUSION










On the basis of the study it is found that Religare securities is better service provider than the other associations because of their timely research and personalized advice on what stocks to buy and sell. Religare Securities provides the facilities of relationship manager for encouragement and protects the interest of the investors. It also provides the information through the Internet and mobile alerts that what IPO’s are coming in the markets and it also provides its research on the future prospects of the IPO.

Study also concludes that people are not much aware of commodity market and while it’s going to be biggest market in India. From the above survey and observation it is found that most of the people who are trading in share market belongs to the employee group, next comes the business men, and other class of income people. As the share market value goes on increasing day by day the investor who wants to invest in shares also increased. Trading in online trading firm is as easy as it all delivered with internet and within a few minutes the customers can buy and sell a share which saves time as well as reduction of people work. Hence trading in share market is increasing day by day and investors are ready to invest their investment in share market only.

I got the knowledge about the customer’s needs and their references for having particular products. The need of customers differs from person to person, areas, locality and occupation. Customers always want more services by paying less.

Analysis on the basis of Questionnaire-II

Investment In Shares

Interpretation:- The major part of the sample taken has not invested in the Shares. The

demand for the investment in Shares has increased in the past few years with many players

entering in the Indian market.

Experience to Market

Interpretation:- The experience in the market was the factor which influenced the investments. There are not many people who are new or have experience of less than a year. Major part was having vast experience that is of more than 4 years. These are the ones who have been in the market and saw it rising to conquer the 10.000 peak

Trading Preference of the Investors

Interpretation:- The presence in the market is because of two reasons. Either the investors prefer to speculate and benefit out of it or it is simply to have it as one more investment avenue. Main purpose of investment by people was not to speculate.

Factors Influencing the Investment Decision of Investors

Interpretation:- There are many factors which influence the investment decision of the investors. It may be the current news (political, technological, financial, etc.), Magazines, friends, etc. in the study it proved that many people trust the brokers most for the investment decisions. These are the ones who have less experience. The “Self-Evaluation” is the next major factor. The experienced person trust himself thereafter he/she invests. Magazines and current News also matters. Any bad news can make a person change his/her decision.

Recommendations

What I recommend firstly there should be

[1] First Aid Kit for New Entrant into Securities Market this will be a new step towards a good service provider in this field. After all, this market depends on the after sales service. After seeing such a boost in the share market, not only our Adult generation but also the young generation is also so much excited to enter the share market. Now the actual problem starts specially with the young ones in excitement initially they invests the money & due to lack of experience they loose big block of money in one go & later they blames the company about the loss. So, to make them train in the field we should provide them the initial precautions that they should take while enter into the market.“The More You Care For Your Customer More The Faith Will Get Develop From Customer Side”

[2] Provision for training for the new investors for the above reason same thing to boost there moral and to give them some thing related to the market will help them. Also some tips can also be given to these investor during the session as a precautions.

[3] Customer Care for general query handle initially customer want to solve his or her problem at the moment as it arises. Our relationship manager many times don’t have that much time to discuss all that details on phone, they may sometime get busy with the meeting with client. So for general query handle we can have a separate section.
