3. Executive summary/preface
There is growing competition between brokerage firms in post reforms India. For investor it
is always difficult to decide which brokerage firm to choose.
Research was carried out to find which brokerage house people prefer and to figure out what
people prefer while invest in stock market.
These researches suggest that people are reluctant while investing in stock and commodity
market due to lack of knowledge.
Main purpose of investment is return and liquidity, commodity market is less preferred by
investor due to lack of awareness. The major findings of this study are that people are
interested to invest in stock market but they lack knowledge.
Through these researches I came to know what are positive and strong points of ASHIKA
STOCK BROKING ltd. On the basis of which swot analysis (strength, weakness,
opportunities and threats) is done.

HISTORY OF EQUITY MARKET
Market-oriented economic reforms in India began in 1991. with the removal
of Administrative controls on bank credit and primary market for securities, thecapital
Market came to occupy a larger role in shaping resource allocation in the country. This led to
a heightened interest amongst policy makers in theinstitutional development of securities
markets. The efforts towards empoweringthe securities markets regulator(SEBI) and the first
efforts towards attracting foreignportfolio investments began early in the reforms process.
Almostimmediately after the reforms began, there was a prominent scandal on thefixed
income and equity markets, which was exposed in April 1992. This set thestage for an
unusual policy intervention the establishment of a securitiesexchange, the National Stock
Exchange (NSE), by the government.
From 1996 onwards, debates about policy issues on the equity markets weredominated by
questions about the role for leveraged trading. There was a proposal to have a spot market
based on ―rolling settlement‖ (where leverage islimited to intra-day positions only).
In 2001, a major crisis broke on the equity market. It involved numerouselements: large
leveraged positions which went wrong, accusations of marketmanipulation, a payment crisis
at the Calcutta exchange, fraud in the bankingsystem, ethics violations at the Bombay stock
exchange.
This crisis was valuable in breaking this five-year deadlock and moving on withreforms.in
June 2001,tradingin index options commenced &within a matter of weeks, liquidityimproved
sharply.
Over the 1990s, the equity market became a nationwide platform with real-timecapability for
trading and settling stock transactions. However, comparableimprovements in the
infrastructure for of both exchange institutions and SEBI is highlylimited.
STOCK MARKET
The term ‗the stock market‘ is a concept for the mechanism that enables thetrading of
company stocks, other securities, and derivatives.The stocks are listedand traded on stock
exchanges which are entities (a corporation or mutualorganization) specialized in the
business of bringing buyers and sellers of stocksand securities together.
BSE Sensex crashed from the level of 4256 to 3876 in between June and August 1997. The
major and pronounced fall in the stock markets occurred during the period from November
1997 to January 1998, with the BSE
Sensex declining by 18 percent to reach the level of 3224 by the end of January 1998.
What is meant by Interest?
When we borrow money, we are expected to pay for using it – this is known asInterest.
Interest is an amount charged to the borrower for the privilege of using thelender‘s money.
Interest is usually calculated as a percentage of the principalbalance (the amount of money
borrowed). The percentage rate may be fixed for thelife of the loan, or it may be variable,
depending on the terms of the loan.
What factors determine interest rates?
When we talk of interest rates, there are different types of interest rates - rates that banks
offer to their depositors, rates that they lend to their borrowers, the rate atwhich the
Government borrows in the Bond/Government Securities market, ratesoffered to investors in
6. small savings schemes like NSC, PPF, rates at whichcompanies issue fixed deposits etc. The
factors which govern these interest rates are mostly economy related and are commonly
referred to as macroeconomicfactors. Some of these factors are:

Introduction of Stock Market
In most industrialized countries, a substantial part of financial wealth is not manageddirectly
by savers, but through a financial intermediary, which implies the existenceof an agency
contract between the investor (the principal) and a broker or portfoliomanager (the agent).
Therefore, delegated brokerage management is arguably oneof the most important agency
relationships intervening in the economy, with apossible impact on financial market and
economic developments at a macro level.As the per-capita-income of the city is on the higher
side, so it is quite obvious thatthey want to invest their money in profitable ventures. On the
other hand, a number of brokerage houses make sure the hassle free investment in
stocks. Assetmanagement firms allow investors to estimate both the expected risks and
returns, as measured statistically. There are mainly two types of Portfolio
managementstrategies.
Passive Portfolio Strategy
Active Portfolio Strategy
1) Passive Portfolio Strategy:
A strategy that involves minimal expectationinput, and instead relies on diversification to
match the performance of somemarket index. A passive strategy assumes that the
marketplace will reflect allavailable information in the price paid for securities.
2) Active Portfolio Strategy:
A strategy that uses available information andforecasting techniques to seek a better
performance than a portfolio that issimply diversified broadly.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the various features of equity market.
To study the criterion of different companies for opening d-mat & trading accounts.
34. To study all kind of financial services provided by Ashika stock Broking to its client.
Definition of 'Equity Market'
The market in which shares are issued and traded, either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also
known as the stock market, it is one of the most vital areas of a market economy because it gives companies
access to capital and investors a slice of ownership in a company with the potential to realize gains based on its
future performance.
The following are the main features of equity
Limited liability: The liability of a shareholder is limited to the amount he invested in a company. In case
the company goes bankrupt his personal assets can‘t be claimed against the losses made by the company.
Profit sharing: Investors enjoy unlimited participation in the earnings of the firm. Theoretically there is
no limit to the returns, which an equity investor can get i.e. if the company earns multi fold profit and
wants to distribute it as dividend. Of course certainly there is a risk of non-functioning/ less (or no)
profitability of the company in which case the share price goes down and dividend may not be paid out.
Highly liquid: Equity stocks are generally highly liquid instruments, which can be bought and sold easily
in the equity markets. Ownership stake in the company changes with every buy and sell. An investor can
acquire ownership and sell off his ownership quite easily whenever he wishes to do so.
Corporate control: Equity stocks come with certain rights including the voting rights to which the
investors are entitled.
Criterion of different companies for opening d-mat & trading accounts
The key criteria for selecting these accounts are:
1. Your purpose/usage. In short, how frequently are you going to buy/sell and is it intraday or
delivery based. Choose the Broker whose charges are lowest according to your transaction
style.
2. Look at a complete solution and not just one individual product like a demat account. After
all, the money in the savings account will be linked to your trading account for buying/selling
shares and the trading account will be linked to your demat account for storing the shares.
Suppose you have a Savings account with Financial group 1, and the trading account with
financial group 2 and group2 trading account does not have a partnering arrangement with
group 1, you will be forced to open a new savings account with Group 2 itself. Similar with
the relationship between the trading account and the demat account. Usually, most non-bank
brokerages have tie-ups with the popular banks for savings bank accounts and demat
accounts, but brokerages in a banking group company may have only the same bank as its
partners to be made on IPO listing when the price starts dropping after hitting a high).
4. Think long term. In case you have got yourself a demat account and you have existing
shares in it and you want to move to another demat account, transfer of shares is not cheap.
One of the demat accounts I checked was charging Rs.50 per company scrip that is to be
transferred. If I have 20 companies, it is going to cost me 50*20=Rs.1000. Others may charge
35. differently, based on number of shares or amount worth or anything. Please find out what this
amount is, in case you are ever tired of useless service and you want to change the demat
account. These transfer rates are never mentioned anywhere. Buyers beware!
5. Opening one of these: Bank account, Demat Account, trading account is not easy anymore.
One needs address proof, identity proof, registered mobile number for instant authorisation,
etc. Gone are the days when you can walk to a new city and get one of these as if you were
getting a cup of coffee in a shop. Think about the long term implications before closing any
of these.

1. A practical exposure of corporate world.
2. Independently handling of clients.
3. Came to know the practical problems of clients.
