ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Learning and acquiring knowledge has no leaps and bounds. It is one resource that

never gets exhausted, the more you preach the better it gets and the more it lives

down through ages. From the day since man set his foot on earth learning process

had begun and is still evolving making life happier and memorable. One can only

lead a person to things he needs to know, but never can teach him how to learn.

Experience through failures and hardship makes a man perfect.

I express my sincere gratitude towards Mr. Kulbhushan Singh Cluster Head at Kotak

securities for giving need and opportunity to undergo summer training in one of the

leading financial institution of India.

I also take the opportunity to thank my Course Co-ordinator Mr. Jatin Srivastava to

provide me with relevant insights to understand the project and guided at every step.

Without his guidance and undivided attention, the project would not have taken this

shape.

PREFACE
Any kind of learning is incomplete till it is practically applied in the concerned field.

Only then does a person understands and get hold of even the minutest details of

what he/she has learnt in their stay at the institute doing his/her MBA. So, to

practically apply what I had gained in the past one year in the MBA programme, I

underwent summer training at Kotak Securities Ltd., Lucknow. It has been a

wonderful learning experience, which has given me an insight into management of

modern business which requires an appreciation of multidisciplinary concept and in-

depth knowledge of specific analytical tools, geared to the solution of real life

problems. No doubt every real situation is unique but a set of theoretical tools of

knowledge, itself based on empirical foundation can help in developing the

mechanism for handling such situation. So, the MBA curriculum has been desired to

provide to the future manager’s ample practical exposure to the business world. The

summer training is essential for the fulfillment of MBA curriculum; it provides an

opportunity to the student to understand the industry with special emphasis on the

development of skills in analyzing interpreting practical problems through application

of management.

INTRODUCTION
Practical knowledge is an important suffix to theoretical knowledge. One cannot

merely depend upon the theoretical knowledge. Classroom lectures make the

fundamental concept of management clear. They also facilitate the learning of

practical things. However, classroom lectures must be correlated with the practical

training situations. It is in the sense that practical training in a company has a

significant role to play in the subject of business management. Market research is

indeed an ancient art, it has been practiced in one form of the other since the day of

Adam & Eve. Its emergence is of relatively recent origin for success of any business

& with in this relatively short period it has joined a carry great deal of importance.

Management in India is heading towards a better profession as compared to other

professions. The demand for professional manager is increasing day by day. To

achieve profession competence manager ought to be fully occupied with theory and

practical exposure of management. A comprehensive understanding of the principle

will increases their Decision making ability and sharpens their tools for this purpose.

As an essential part of our course, I got the privilege to have training in kotak

securities Ltd. (A member of NSE and BSE of India) the work has carried over a

span of 2 months. My job profile includes making customer relation in Lucknow for

the opening of trading & Demat A/c. and to know customer views about our services

and about investment in stock market.

6
It has been rightly said that knowledge is power. It is common knowledge that money

has to be invested wisely. If you are a novice at investing, not terms such as stocks,

bonds, equity etc. Relax. It takes years to understand the art of investing. You are

not alone in the quest to crack the jargon. To start with take your investment decision

with as many facts as you can assimilate. But, understand that one can never know

everything. Learning to live with the anxiety of the unknown is part of investing.

Being enthusiastic about getting started is the first step, through daunting at the first

instance. That’s why our investment course begins with a dose of encouragement.

With enough time and a little discipline, you are all but guaranteed to make the right

moves in the market. Patience and the willingness to pepper once savings across a

portfolio of securities tailored to suit once age and risk profile will propel once

revenues at the same time cushion you against any major losses.

Investing is not about putting all your money into the various means . Investing isn’t

gambling or speculation; it’s about taking reasonable risks to reap steady rewards.

Investing is a method of purchasing assets in order in order to gain profit in the form

of reasonably predictable income (dividend, interest, or rentals) and appreciation

over the long term.

The investing options are many, to name a few-

• Equity

• Bonds

• Mutual funds

• Fixed deposits

• Other

PRODUCT OF THE COMPANY

Introduction to online trading:-

Technology is revolutionizing every field of human endeavor and activity. The rapid

growth in number volume and value and securities in the Indian capital market

exposed the limitation of handling and dealing in securities. In physical / paper

modes, shortcoming of the market became manifest in terms of bad deliveries, delay

in transfer and irregular settlements etc. electronic medium of trading introduced first

by national stock exchange (NSE) followed by the stock exchange Mumbai (BSE) in

1995 by the help of online trading. Share traders can easily purchase and sell their

shares through their own terminals or through broker’s terminal without any paper

work.

In order to provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency NSE introduced a

nationwide online fully automated screen based trading system (SBTS) where a

member can punch into the computer quantities securities and the prices at which he

likes to transact and the transaction executed as soon as it finds a matching sale or

by orders from a counter party SBTS electronic matches orders on a strict price/ time

priority and hence cuts down on time cost and risk of errors as well as on fraud

resulting in improved operational efficiency. It allows fasters incorporation of price

22
sensitive information into prevailing prices, thus increasing the informational

efficiency of market.

NSE has main computer, which is connected through very small aperture terminal

(V-SAT) installed at its office, Brokers have terminal installed at their premises which

are connected through V-SAT/ leased lines/ modems.

Investors inform a broker to place an order on his behalf. The broker enters the

orders though his PC and sends signal to the satellite vie V-SAT. The signal is

directed to mainframe computer at NSE. The order confirmation message is

immediately displayed on the PC of the broker. By the help of given diagram we can

easily understand how people trade online.

The online division of Kotak securities offers its customers the facility e-broking and

TRADING SYSTEM

THE Exchange, as stated earlier, had an open outcry trading system till March 1995

where member-brokers used to assemble in a trading ring for doing transaction in

securities. It had switched over to a fully automated computerized mode of trading

known as BOLT (BSE online Trading) System w.e.f. March 14, 1995. Through the

BOLT system, the member-broker now enters orders for purchase or sell of

securities from Trader Work Stations (TWSs) installed in their offices instead of

assembling in the trading ring. This system, which was initially both order and quote

driven, is currently only order driven. The system, which is now only order driven,

facilities more efficient in-putting processing, automatic matching and faster

execution of orders in a transparent manner. The trading in securities at the

Exchange is conducted in an anonymous environment and the counter party identify

is not revealed the buyer and sellers of securities do not know the names of each

other.

The member-brokers of the Exchange were permitted to open trading terminals only

within the city limits of Mumbai till1996. The Exchange obtained permission from

SEBI for expansion of its BOLT network to locations outside Mumbai. The expansion

of BOLT network to cities outside Mumbai was inaugurated by Shri P. Chidambaram,

the Finance Minister, Government of India on August 31, 1997. The Exchange was

initially allowed by SEBI to set up[ trading terminals in all places

47
except in the jurisdictional areas of other Regional Stock Exchanges, for setting-up

trading terminal in the jurisdictional areas of other Regional Stock Exchanges, the

Exchanges was required to enter into Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with

the respective Stock Exchange.

However, with certain modification in this regard announced by SEBI towards the

end of the year 1999, the member-broke of the exchange are now free to install their

trading terminals at any place in the country including in the jurisdictional areas of

other Regional Stock Exchanges.

In order to expand the reach of BOLT network to centers outside Mumbai to reach

out to investors in these centers and provide them access t the trading facilities in all

scripts listed and permitted to be traded in the Exchange and to support the smaller

Regional Stock Exchange, the Exchange has admitted subsidiary companies formed

by 15 Regional.

Stock Exchange as its member-brokers as on June 30, 2003. The member-brokers

of these Regional Stock Exchange work as sub-brokers of the member-brokers of

the Exchange.

Trading on the BOLT System is conducted from Monday to Friday between 9:55

a.m. and 3:30 p.m. the scripts traded on the Exchange have been classified into ‘A’,

‘B1’,’B2’, ‘F’, ‘G’, and ’Z’ groups.

The Exchange has for the guidance and benefit of investors classified the scripts in

the Equity Segment in A’, ‘B1’,&’B2’ based on certain qualitative and quantitative

48
parameters which include number of trades, values traded, etc. for the guidance and

benefit of investors.

The ‘F’ group represents the fixed income securities wherein 730 securities were

listed as on June 30, 2003

The Exchange has commenced trading in Govt. Securities for retail investors under

“G” group w.e.f. January 16, 2003 and 85 Govt. Securities are traded on the

Exchange under this group as on June 30, 2003.

The ‘Z’ group was introduced by the Exchange in July 1999 and includes the

companies which have failed to comply with the listing requirement of the Exchange

and have failed to resolve investor complaints or have not made the required

arrangement with both the Depository Ltd. (NSDL) for dematerialization of their

securities. Companies in ‘Z’ group numbered 2776 as on June 30, 2003.of these,

1275 companies were in “Z” group for not complying with the provisions of the Listing

Agreement and not resolving pending investor complaints and the balance 1501

companies were on account of not making arrangement for dematerialization of their

securities with both the Deposotories.1501 companies have been put by the

Exchange in “Z” group as a temporary measure till they make arrangement for

dematerialization of their securities. Once they finalize the arrangement for

dematerialization of their securities, trading and settlement in their scripts would be

shifted to their respective rest groups.

49
MEANING OF DEPOSITORY SYSTEM
Depository system is concerned with conversion of securities from physical to

electronic form, settlement of trades in electronic segment, transfer of ownership and

custody of securities.

In the depository system, the ownership and transfer of securities place by means of

electronics books entries. This Rids the Capital market of the dangers and risks

related to handling of paper. Its transaction costs are also less as compared to that

of physical transactions.

While investors will continuous to exercise the option of holding securities in the

physical form, those preferring Rematerialization of scripts are permitted to withdraw

from the depository by requesting the issue of physical certificate again. Share

transaction costs in the depository shall be lower than the cost of buying and selling

physical shares.

Depository system is not mandatory as of now; it is optional and is left on the

investor to decide whether he wants the securities to be dematerialized.

50
Holding and handling of securities in electronic form eliminates problems that are

normally associated with physical certificates and it facilitates faster settlement

cycles.

RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY

61
Research Methodology:

The research conducted by Exploratory Research this type of research is Qualitative

and Quantitative. Qualitative refers to the characters of the data or process by which

the data are gathered.

The research process consists of a series of closely related activities. Why a

research study has been undertaken. Why a research study has been undertaken,

how the research problem has been defined, in what way and why the hypothesis

has been formulated, what data has been collected and what particular method

has been adopted and a host of similar other question are usually answered when

we talk of research methodology concerning a research problem or study.

Sampling:

A questionnaire was prepared and interviewed with different people.

A decision has to be taken concerning a sample unit before selecting the number of

samples. It may be geographical as well as individual.

Size of Sample:

The sample size I have chosen was of 90 respondents.

62
RESEARCH DESIGN

MEANING OF RESEARCH DESIGN

The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the

preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the “research

design”. Decisions regarding what, where, when, how much by what means

concerning an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design. “A research

design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in manner

that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.”

In fact, the research design is the conceptual structure within which research is

conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis

of data. As such the design includes on outline of what the researcher will do from

writing the hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data.

TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS USED FOR THE STUDY

63
It is necessary for a researcher to define conceptual structure which research would

be conducted. The function of research design is to provide for the collection of

relevant evidence with minimal expenditure of efforts, time and money. In this

research the research design was as follows:-

1) Time available for the research is every Saturday of the week.

2) The means of obtaining the information is through :

• Primary data like questionnaire

• Secondary data like magazines, brochures and Pump lets etc.

3) There is no cost factor related to researcher.

PROCEDURE OF DATA COLLECTION

64
Data compilation is an intermediate stage between data collection and analysis. Data

compilation involves classification and summarization in order to make data

amenable to analysis.

In dealing with any problem, once the sample has been selected the data must be

collected from the sample population. There are several ways of collecting

appropriate data which differ considerably in context of money cost, time and other

resources. They can be broadly classified in to two categories.

Two sources to collect data are namely:

1. Primary Source

2. Secondary Source

PRIMARY SOURCE OF COLLECTING DATA

The Primary Data that I collected were the first hand information which I received

through personal interviews with the consumers and through questionnaires. This

data gave the most vital information for making my analysis more precise.

SECONDARY SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTION

65
Secondary Data involved in my research were the information that I collected

through the various broachers and pamphlets of the company which were provided

to me during the analysis.

RESEARCH DESIGN :

The research design which has been used in the project report is descriptive in

nature.

SAMPLE DESIGN:

The sample design which has been use in this project report is simple random

sampling.

SAMPLING UNIT :

A decision has to be taken concerning a sample unit before selecting the number of

samples. It may be geographical as well as individual. Here Lucknow market has

been taken as a geographical unit and people as an individual unit.

FACED & MAJOR
LIMITATIONS

67
DIFFICULTIES FACED

for all the clients.

• Saving Accounts: - saving account with Kotak Mahindra Bank, AXIS


Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI bank, CITI bank is mandatory.

lengthy and cumbersome.

still there is lack of awareness regarding Kotak Securities and its online division

i.e. kotaksecurities.com and its products.

68
MAJOR LIMITATIONS

Uncertainty of market

Securities investments are subject to market risk and there is no assurance of

guarantee that the objective of the scheme will be achieved.

As with any in securities, the NAV of the units issued under the scheme can go up or

down depending on the factors and forces affecting the capital market.

Tough Competition

Due to the large number of local brokers investors are confused that where to invest

and where not to invest. Local brokers are ready to give the same investment plan in

very least brokerage.

Rigid and traditional structure

The people believe investing in bank FD’s and post office saving and are reluctant to

invest in mutual fund. People like to secure money in terms of leading to the people

on high interest, the meant there is safe.

69
Socio-economic factors

The most of the people of the country are agriculture dependent. So they invest less

in the capital in the market.

Political factors

Due to volatile government and their policies regarding investors and investment,

stoke market is not integrated which in turn affect the capital market.

WEAKNESS

Prone to Market Risk

Returns to broker

There is a very tough competition because of large number of local brokers for e.g.

they provide same return on least brokerage.

OPPORTUNITIES

Indian Capital Market is growing

So more and more new investors are interested in investments

Tailor Made Products

84
We have tailor made products like customers specified schemes for example Kotak

Assist.

Large number of branches are opening day by day and ever we are trying to tap

uncapped market in the country be 60% of total market.

THREATS

Tough competition

There is a tough competition in finance sector, as almost all the companies are

providing with same kind of business.

Unawareness

As major part of GDP is coming from several markets so there people are unaware

of this market.

Changing scenario

Our market scenario is changing day-by-day i.e. our market is fluctuating, so this

makes investors hard to invest.

85
CONCLUSION AND
SUGGESTIONS

86
Conclusion and Suggestions

Suggestions
1. According to the analysis the investor above the age of 50 years must be

taken into consideration as they are having great potential regarding

investment.

2. Time taken in account opening too long they should reduce it.

3. Kotak Securities must use marketing tools like point of purchase,

advertisement through mass media, like newspapers, magazines, televisions,

fairs, and advertisements on Internet.

4. Documents required for an account opening are too unique and confusing.

Voters ID or driving license should be taken both as identity proof as well as

address proof.

5. The organization is lacking on the parameters of motivation. For example

incentives on targets should be given time to time.

87
6. No. of signatures, which are made by the lines are too many, therefore should

be reduced.

7. Kotak must lay some sound strategies to trap more customers by providing

them with less brokerage in comparison to others.

Conclusion
From the analysis of the responses receive from the investors in Lucknow city, a

majority of investors are found to be conscious and enlightened regarding their

investment, returns and growth.

We have very good market in Lucknow which comprises potential investors but

due to lack of basic promotion and publicity these investors are not fully aware of

our company and who so ever is aware of the company their investment

decisions are done on the basis of security, analysis of risk yield and return few

parameters like demographic, physiological, income etc.

E-trading account is a unique combination of saving account; demat and online

share trading account as no other depository provides all the three facilities

together.

88
So my findings are that Kotak securities should make little more efforts to trap the

potential investors, like media advertisements, paper advertisement, seminars

and business meets and building a good relationship with potential business,

more over friendly guidance.
