Se#urities
Securities are documents that present right to receive funds in the future- %he person or organi ation that holds a securit" is called a bearer- A securit" certifies that the bearer has a claim to future funds- .hen the date of pa"ment occurs, ,e sa" the securit" maturesSecurities have value because the bearer has the right to be paid the amount specified- So the bearer ,ho ,anted some mone" right a,a" could sell the securit" to some one else for cash- Of course, the ne, bearer could sell the securit" to some one else too, and so on do,n the line- .hen a securit" is sold to some one else, the securit" is being traded-
:<
1usiness firms as ,ell as local, state, and national governments, sell securities to the public to raise mone"- After the initial sale, investors ma" sell the securities to other investors- As "ou might suspect, this can get to be a complicated business- %hat0s ,h" organi ations called financial intermediaries exist to help the initial sellers and markets are available for the subse3uent traders to execute their transactions-
5in'n#i'! Interme&i'ries
Financial intermediaries act as the grease that enables the machiner" of the financial s"stem to ,ork smoothl"- %he" speciali e in certain services that ,ould be difficult for individual participants to perform, such as matching bu"ers and sellers of securities- %hree t"pes of financial intermediaries are investment bankers, brokers and dealers-
Investment B'n$ers Institutions called investment banking firms exist to help businesses and state and local governments sell their securities to the publicInvestment bankers arrange securities sales on either an under,riting basis or a best efforts basis- %he term under,riting refers to the process b" ,hich an investment banker purchases all the ne, securities from the issuing compan" and then resells them to the public%o alleviate this risk, investment bankers sometimes sell securities on a best efforts basis- %his means the investment banker ,ill tr" its best to sell the securities for
:6
the desired price, but there are no guaranties- If the securities must be sold for a lo,er price, the issuer collects less mone"-
Bro$ers 1rokers often account representatives for an investment banking firm handle orders to bu" or sell securities- 1rokers are agents ,ho ,ork on behalf of an investor.hen investors call ,ith an order, brokers ,ork on their behalf to find someone to take over other side of the proposed trade- If the investors ,ant to bu", brokers find sellers- If investors ,ant to sell brokers find bu"ers- 1rokers are compensated for their services ,hen the person ,hom the" present the investor a commission on the sale and purchase of securities-
De'!ers Dealers make their living bu"ing securities and reselling them to others- %he" operate /ust like car dealers ,ho bu" car from manufacturer for resale to others- Dealers make mone" b" bu"ing securities for one price, called the bid price, and selling them for a higher price called ask price or offer price- %he difference bet,een the bid price and ask price represents dealer fee-
5in'n#i'! m'r$ets
Financial markets are categori ed according to the characteristics of participants are and the securities involved- Follo,ing are the t"pes of marketsB

/he prim'ry m'r$et .hen a securit" is created and sold for the first time in market place, this transaction takes place in the primar" market-
/he se#on&'ry m'r$et Once a securit" has been issued, it ma" be traded from one investor to the other%he secondar" market is ,here previousl" issued securities or used securities are traded among investors- Secondar" market transactions occur thousands of times dail" as investors trade securities among themselves-
/he money m'r$ets Short term securities having maturit" of one "ear or less are traded in mone" markets- %he" use phones and computers to make trades rapidl" among themselves and ,ith the issuing organi ations-
/he #'pit'! m'r$ets =ong term securities having maturities over one "ear are traded in capital market%he firms usuall" invest proceeds from capital market securities sales in long term assets like buildings, production e3uipment and so on- %he most ,idel" recogni ed securities in the capital market bonds and stocks-

Se#urity ex#h'n"es
Organi ations that facilitate the trading of stocks and bonds among investors are called securit" exchanges- 9orporations list their securities on exchanges because the" believe that having their securities traded at such a location ,ill make it eas" to trade and therefore to raise priceEach exchange listed stock is traded at a specified location on the trading floor called the post -trading is supervised b" specialists ,ho act either as broker and dealers-
M'r$et e))i#ien#y
%he term market efficienc" refers to the ease, speed and cost of trading securitiesIn an efficient market securities can be traded easil", 3uickl" and at lo, cost- *arkets lacking these 3ualities are considered as in efficient*a/or stock markets are generall" efficient because stock holders can trade millions of ,orth shares in fe, seconds b" making a phone call and pa"ing small commission- %he real estate market is more in efficient as compared to stock market because of dela" in transaction and more commission%he more efficient the market, the easier it is to shift mone" from surplus economic units to deficit economic units-

During the "ear under revie,, the Exchange earned record revenue of $s-6A-C< *illion, surpassing the income figures of the last "ear b" 5:G after restatement for the purpose of facilitating comparison- %his hike on the revenue side can mainl" be attributed to a modest increase in the annual listing fee structure besides handsome gain in the trading fee income of the Exchange during the "ear- 1oth of these resources sho,ed respective increases of :<8G and ECG as compared to the last "ear- %he profit earned on bank deposits also surged b" E:G over the "ear- On the other hand the expenditure of the Exchange sho,ed a slight increase of 6-@G primaril" due to the provisions for ,riting off the receivables of long outstanding listing fees on account of irrecoverable or doubtful recover"- During the "ear under revie,, the Exchange also recorded the highest ever surplus of $s-E-<E million in its short financial histor"- %he salient highlight of the income and expenditure account of the Exchange during the last six "ears is given hereunderB >$upees?

-per'tion'! Revie%
From the operational point of vie,, the "ear under revie, ,as full of challenges%he exchange remained full" focused to intensif" the regulator" compliance on all spheres- A number of landmark achievements ,ere made in this term-
* '
Exchange laid do,n great emphasis on this aspect- %he gro,ing process of the scrips had reduced the exposures of the members and there ,as a need to revie, the margin slabs rationall"- Accordingl", in order to encourage members to trade through ISE9%S, the Exchange revie,ed the exposure margin slabs up,ard after taking into account the associated potential risks- 'o,ever, the Exchange maintained the loss limit up to $S-:77,777H- ,hich is a most effective measure to control the risks- 1" the grace of Almight" Allah, no default occurred during the "earSo far the Exchange has been managing the risks through traditional measures b" retaining depositsHsecurities based on certain criteria and having a vigilant check over the positionsHconcentrations, ho,ever, the Exchange is activel" pursuing to adopt value at risk model in near future ,hich ,ill help in managing the /ob more s"stematicall" in line ,ith statistical principles-

price and position monitoring of the participants- %he exchange also conducted investigations on certain issues- %he 1oard of the Exchange also tool cogni ance of t,o cases as reported as a conse3uence of surveillance and monitoring regarding market manipulations and short-selling etc and imposed fines and reprimanded such participants ,ho ,ere found involved in these cases-
En)or#ement 'n& System Au&it o) Bro$ers %he good governance is the core of success for ever" business- As a part of good
government, the brokers are supposed to abide b" the s"stems and norms devised for the trade and business in transparent manner- Deviations from the s"stems lead to failure of the venture- %he ISE is ,ell poised to pla" its due role as a front line regulator to enforce good governance at all tiers and echelons- %he ISE took a leading step to conduct the s"stem audits of the members and the program of s"stem audit b" the practicing charted accountant firms ,hich ,as initiated in late 5775%he exercise of s"stem audit of members has proved beneficial to both the members and the Exchange as ,ell- It enabled in recogni ing the ,eaknesses of the s"stem ,hich has led to an overall effort to remove the observed deficiencies- Of late, %he SE9# has also issued detailed regulations on the sub/ect ,hich have also been adopted b" the ISE- %he next phase of s"stem audit ,ould be conducted as per the regulations-

E!imin'tion o) .-/ 'n& A&option o) M'r"in 5in'n#in" A final roadmap has been chalked out to phase out the carr" over transactions
s"stem >badla? from the Stock Exchange in #akistan ,hereb" this s"stem ,ould b" eliminated b" 4une 5778- In order to replace the old s"stem, international model of margin trading shall be introduced b" the Exchange- For hedging needs, the use of derivative market shall be promoted- In this connection, the SE9# has allo,ed future trading in 5E scrips- It is hoped that this transition ,ould bring a health" change for sustainable development of the market-
=istin" Re"ime For the past fe, "ears, the gro,th of listed sector has sta"ed belo, par- %his "ear
seven companies applied for listing ,hereas last "ear onl" one ne, entit" ,as listed at the ISE- %his sluggish gro,th of the corporate sector is due to enforcement of strict securities la,s and monitoring measures besides the shift from e3uit" rising to cheap borro,ing through the mone" market- *oreover during the "ear, <8 companies ,ere delisted mostl" sue to mergers and bu" back of shares b" the sponsors%his "ear gigantic increase in the listed capital and market capitali ation occurred due to the listing of state o,ned companies b" ,as of privati ation- %he Exchange as ,ell as members pla"ed a ver" significant role for making the privati ation process of the (overnment successful and all such issues ,ere subscribed like hotcakes- %he increase in the paid-up capital and market capitali ation as compared to last "ear ,as :AG and E8G
58
respectivel"- As such the privati ation has helped in broadening the market base to a great extentFrom the enforcement aspect, the Exchange adopted proactive measures- %his "ear the 1oard of Directors of ISE also approved to establish a counter for the defaulting companies for ,hich the modus operandi is being set out- %he 1oard of Directors of the Exchange has also approved to make some amendments in the =isting $egulations of the ISE ,ith the ob/ective of strengthening the enforcement mechanism- %his amendment pertains to the statement of compliance to be reported in the annual reports of the companies that the compan" is not in default of an" provision of the =isting $egulations of the Exchange inclusive of the pa"ment of listing fee etc and in case of an" such scenario2 the compan" ,ould elaborate the reasons thereof- Efforts are on ,a" to develop a consensus on the issue amongst the Stock Exchanges in this regard so that the matter could be referred to the 9ommission for further needful actionIn order to encourage small and medium scale enterprises in the countr", regulations for O%9 market ,ere framed b" the Exchange- At the behest of the SE9#, it ,as decided in the 9oordination 9ommittee meeting that three Stock Exchanges shall establish a unified O%9 market- So far no progress could be achieved in this respect and no compan" could be listed at the O%9 market-
