CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE SERVICE SECTOR :
India stands out from other emerging economies because its growth has been led by the service sector rather than labor-intensive manufactures. This column summarizes recent research showing that India has a long history of strength in services, and its service-led development may play to historical strengths rather than hindering its progress. Indias recent spectacular rate of economic growth, combined with the sheer size of its population, means that it is beginning to take its place as one of the key players in the global economy. One way in which India stands out from other Asian economies is in the better performance of its service sector. Whereas other emerging Asian economies, such as China, have experienced growth led by dynamic manufacturing performance, Indias growth has been led by sectors such as business services. This is sometimes used to portray Indias performance as fragile, focusing attention on despite current economic slowdown in European countries and financial upheaval in Greece, on the back of huge debt by Greece government, India scored well in its domestic market in terms of service sector. Only in services has there been an improvement in comparative India/UK labor productivity, from around 15% in the late nineteenth century to around 30% by the end of the twentieth century. Services have thus played a positive role in Indias productivity performance throughout the period, limiting Indian relative decline before 1870 and leading the process of catching-up from the 1970s. The service sector productivity growth is not confined to modern services such as finance it is also visible in trade and transport..
spot markets and market practices such as speed of settlement and dematerialization are close to international best practices.
Insurance Sector:
There exists huge scope of investment in the insurance sector in India. India has an enormous middle-class that can afford to buy life, health and disability and pension plan products. Further, insurance is one of the most important taxes saving instrument in the country. Insurance sector has been opened up for competition from Indian private insurance companies with the enactment of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 (IRDA Act). As per the provisions of IRDA Act, 1999, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) was established on 19th April 2000 to protect the interests of holder of insurance policy and to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry. IRDA Act 1999 paved the way for the entry of private players into the insurance market, which was hitherto the exclusive privilege of public sector insurance companies/ corporations. Under the new dispensation Indian insurance companies in private sector were permitted to operate in India on the fulfillment of certain prerequisites. A large number of public and private players are competing today in both life and general insurance segments. The FDI cap/ Equity in the insurance sector is 26 percent under the automatic route subject to licensing by the insurance regulatory and development authority.
Some of the major private players in the sector are: In Life insurance Sector: Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Corporation Birla Sun Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (BSLI) HDFC Standard Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (HDFC STD LIFE) ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (ICICI PRU) ING Vysya Life Insurance Co. Pvt. Ltd. (ING VYSYA) Max New York Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (MNYL) MetLife India Insurance Co. Pvt.

(TATA AIG) Cholamandalam MS General Insurance Co. Ltd. HDFC Chubb General Insurance Co. Ltd. (HDFC CHUBB) Venture Capital India is prime target for venture capital and private equity today, owing to various factors such as fast growing knowledge based industries, favorable investment opportunities, cost competitive workforce, booming stock markets and supportive regulatory environment among others. The sectors where the country attracts venture capital are IT and ITES, software products, banking, PSU disinvestments, entertainment and media, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, contract manufacturing and retail. An offshore venture capital company may contribute up to 100 percent of the capital of a domestic venture capital fund and may also set up a domestic asset management company to manage the fund. Venture capital funds (VCFs) and venture capital companies (VCC) are permitted up to 40 percent of the paid up corpus of domestic unlisted companies. This ceiling would be subject to relevant equity investment limit in force in relation to areas reserved for SSI. Investment in a single company by a VCF/VCC shall not exceed 5 percent of the paid up corpus of a domestic VCF/VCC. The automatic route is not available.

owned funds and other borrowings, from the above category of NBFCs. A few additional details are collected from 1997-98 onwards. These data are utilized to derive the estimates of financial saving of households in the form of deposits with non-banking financial companies. According to the survey for March 1999, total public deposits held with 1547 NBFCs amounted to Rs.20, 429 crore as at the end of March 1999 while their total assets stood at Rs.47, 048 crore. 13. According to the Department of Company Affairs (DCA), there were 65,382 non-banking financial companies as on March 31, 1999. The Reserve Bank made the registration of companies with it compulsory for all non-banking financial companies, in January 1997. As many as 37,274 NBFCs conducting financial business applied for Certificate of Registration (CoR) with RBI as on June 2000. Of these, 14,986 NBFCs were rejected for issue of CoR while the remaining was either issued the CoR or at different stages of scrutiny for registration with RBI. The Reserve Bank had set out certain norms for registration, such as net owned funds of Rs.25 lakh as on January 9, 1997, which had been revised upwards to Rs.2 crore effective from April 21, 1999 for new applicants. The companies, which comply with these norms, are registered with RBI with provision to accept public deposits or to function as finance companies without accepting deposits. The companies, which do not comply with the prescription within a stipulated period, including the extension period, have to close down their business activity. This category of companies is referred to as rejected companies. 14. Besides, many companies have been exempted from registration with RBI, which are: (i) engaged in micro-financing activity, (ii) not accepting public deposits, (iii) licensed under Section 25 of the Companies Act and (iv) mutual benefit companies having net owned funds of Rs.10 lakh. Thus, these companies conduct the financial activity without CoR of RBI.

NSE was floated by major banks and financial institutions. It came as a result of Harshad Mehta scam of 1992. NSE was the first to introduce electronic screen based trading. BSE was forced to follow suit. The present day trading platform is transparent and gives investors prices on a real time basis. With the introduction of depository and 35
mandatory dematerialization of shares chances of fraud reduced further. The trading screen gives you top 5 buy and sell quotes on every scrip.
A typical trading day starts at 10 ending at 3.30. Monday to Friday. BSE has 30 stocks which make up the Sensex .NSE has 50 stocks in its index called Nifty. FII s Banks, financial institutions mutual funds are biggest players in the market. Then there are the retail investors and speculators.
COMMODITIES AR commodities broking services include online futures trading through NCDEX and MCX and depository services through CDSL. Commodities broking is supported by a dedicated research cell that provides both technical as well as fundamental research. Our research covers a broad range of traded commodities including precious and base metals, Oils and Oilseeds, agri-commodities such as wheat, chana, guar, guar gum and spices such as sugar, jeera and cotton. In addition to transaction execution, we provide our clients customized advice on hedging strategies, investment ideas and arbitrage opportunities. Commodity Futures are contracts to buy specific quantity of a particular commodity at a future date. It is similar to the index futures and stock futures but the underlying happens to be commodities instead of stocks and indices. Participants of Commodities Market: The participants who trade in the commodity derivatives markets can be classified as follows; (a) Hedgers: 36
Hedgers are the traders who wish to eliminate the risk of price change to which they are already exposed. It is a mechanism by which the participants in the physical/ cash markets can cover their price risk. Hedgers are those persons who dont want to take the risk therefore they hedge their risk while taking position in the contract. Speculators : Speculators are participants who bet on future movements in the price of an asset i.e. I commodity to make short term gain from the price movements. Commodity future s give theme the leverage so to take risks on nominal margin payments and thereby increasing for bigger gains or losses. (b)
37
(c) Arbitrageurs: Arbitrageurs work at making profits by taking advantaged of existence of difference in prices of the same product across different markets (MCX and NCDEX). (d) Investors: Investors are participants having a longer term view as compared to speculators when they enter into trade in the commodities market. Eg. Farmers, Producers, consumers etc. Commodity Derivatives: A commodity derivative derives its value from an underlying asset which is necessarily a commodity. To understand the commodity derivatives markets its necessary to clear about commodities. Commodities, in simple words are any goods that are common and unbranded. Gold, silver, rubber, pepper, jute, wheat, sugar, cotton etc., are some of the common commodities. For e.g. apple juice can be a commodity whereas the Real apple juice cannot be called a commodity. You may be surprised to know that in the US commodities markets there are futures available even on cattle. Another feature of commodities is that they are commonly available. Commodity markets represent the formal system for the interplay of demand for and supply of commodities. These markets can be broadly classified into spot market and futures market. Commodities for immediate delivery are traded through the spot market. The players in the spot market are the actual producers and the consumers of the commodities.

ANALYSIS
5.1 Analysis of data 5.2 Summary of findings
CHAPTER 5
ANALYSIS OF DATA
Securities analysts determine a company's profitability by looking at its returns. A return is the amount an investment earns as a percentage of the price paid to own it. It is the sum of income an investment makes over time, plus its capital gains. Analysts not only look at the securities historical market returns, they also look at a companys return on investment (income divided by stock and debt), return on assets (income divided by total assets) and return on equity (additional earnings made from reinvesting profits).
5.2 FINDINGS The following findings are made on the basis of data analysis from the previous Chapter.
The study reveals the effectiveness of risk reduction using hedging strategies. It has found out that risk cannot be avoided. But can only be minimized. 43
Through the study. it has found out that, the hedging provides a safe position on an underlying security. The loss gets shifted to a counter party. Thus the hedging covers the loss and risk. Sometimes, the market performs against the expectation. This will trigger losses. so the hedger should be a strategic and positive thinker.
The anticipation of the hedger regarding the trend of the movement in the prices of the underlying security plays a key role in the result of the strategy applied.
It has been found that, all the strategies applied on historical data of the period of the study were able to reduce the loss that arose from price risk substantially.
If the trader is not sure about the direction of the movement of the profits of the current position, he can counter position in the future contract and reduces the level of risks.
The trader can effectively use the strategy for return enhancement provided he has the correct market anticipation.
In general, the anticipation of the strategies purely for return enhancement is a risky affair, because, if the anticipation about the performance of the market and the underlying goes wrong, the position taker would end up in higher losses.

SUMMARY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The International College of Financial Planning has equipped me with necessary education and confidence to face my next career challenge. When graduating from International College of Financial Planning, you are not walking away with just another program but also the experiences of an established network of exceptional educators and a network of 7500 professionals Lack of Investor Awareness about the Derivatives Market & its Trading. Strategies are basically more applicable for HNI Clients whose margin Amount is more. Derivatives Market basically trades depending upon the Underlying Securities. So small fluctuations in the security results in changes in strategies for that particular Derivative. For arbitrageurs Take positions in the cash and derivatives market simultaneously. Take short position in the market, which is overvalued. Take long position in the market, which is undervalue

Cost Efficiency:Options have great leveraging power. An investor can obtain an option position that will mimic a stock position almost identically, but at a huge cost savings. For example, in order to purchase 200 shares of an $80 stock, an investor must pay out $16,000. However, if the investor were to purchase two $20 calls (with each contract representing 100 shares), the total outlay would be only $4,000 (2 contracts X 100 shares/contract X $20 market price). The investor would then have an additional $12,000 to use at his or her discretion. Obviously, it is not quite as simple as that. However, this strategy, known as stock replacement, is not only viable but also practical and cost efficient. Less Risky - Depending on How You Use Them There are situations in which buying options is riskier than owning equities, but there are also times when options can be used to reduce risk. It really depends on how you use them. Options can be less risky for investors because they require less financial commitment than equities, and they can also be less risky due to their relative imperviousness to the potentially catastrophic effects of gap openings. Options are the most dependable form of hedge, and this also makes them safer than stocks. When an investor purchases stock, a stop-loss order is frequently placed to protect the position. The stop order is designed to "stop" losses below a predetermined price identified by the investor. The problem with these orders lies in the nature of the order itself. Higher Potential Returns:You don't need a calculator to figure out that if you spend much less money and make almost the same profit, then you have a higher percentage return. When they pay off, that's what options typically offer to investors. More Strategic Alternatives:The final major advantage of options is that they offer more investment alternatives. Options are a very flexible tool. There are many ways to use options to recreate other positions. We call these positions synthetics. Synthetic positions present investors with multiple ways to attain the same investment goals, and this can be very, very useful. While synthetic positions are considered an advanced option topic, there are many other examples of how options offer strategic alternatives. For example, many investors use brokers that charge a margin when an investor wants to short a stock. The cost of this margin requirement can be quite prohibitive. Other investors use brokers that simply do 46
not allow for the shorting of stocks, period. The inability to play the downside when needed virtually handcuffs investors and forces them into a black and white world while the market trades in color.
Recommendations: Avoiding wrong perception of the investors Investors think that, Derivative trading is more risky than equity trading; it is a betting etc. their views are not cleared about derivative market. These wrong perceptions of the investors should be avoided by giving proper suggestions to the clients. Suggest the Derivatives trading to the investors on the basis of Income, Risk Suggest the derivative trading to their clients who has currently invested in equity market. On the basis of their income capacity, risk bearing capacity of the investor. Introducing strategies to the Investors Introducing derivative strategies to the existing clients who are already invested in derivative segment. Diversify the portfolio of investors Diversify the investment portfolio of the clients who do not want to take a more risk in derivative market trading.
