 INDUSTRY PROFILE

INDIAN STOCK MARKET AN OVERVIEW

CAPITAL MARKET IN INDIA

Indian markets have recently thrown open a new avenue for retail investors and
traders to participate in: commodity derivatives. For those who want to diversify their
portfolios beyond shares, bonds and real estate, commodities are the best option. Till
some months ago, this wouldn't have made sense. For retail investors could have done
very little to actually invest in commodities such as gold and silver or oilseeds in the
futures market. This was nearly impossible in commodities except for gold and silver
as there was practically no retail avenue for punting in commodities. Whatever it may
be , with the setting up of three multi-commodity exchanges in the country, retail
investors can now trade in commodity futures without having any physical stocks

Commodities actually offer immense potential to become a separate asset class for
market-savvy investors, arbitrageurs and speculators. Retail investors, who claim to
understand the equity markets may find commodities an unfathomable market. But
commodities are easy to understand as far as fundamentals of demand and supply are
concerned. Retail investors should understand the risks and advantages of trading in
commodities futures before taking a leap. Historically, pricing in commodities futures
has been less volatile compared with equity and bonds, thus providing an efficient
portfolio diversification option.

Like any other market, the one for commodity futures plays a valuable role in
information pooling and risk sharing. The market mediates between buyers and sellers
of commodities, and facilitates decisions related to storage and consumption of
commodities. In the process, they make the underlying market more liquid

The trading of commodities consists of direct physical trading and derivatives trading.
The commodities markets have seen an upturn in the volume of trading in recent
years. In the five year up to 2010, the value of global physical exports of commodities
increased by 17% while the notional value outstanding of commodity OTC(over the
counter) derivatives increased more than 500% and commodity derivative trading on
exchanges more than 200%.

The notional value outstanding of banks OTC commodities derivatives contacts

increased 27% in 2010 to $9.0 trillion. OTC trading accounts for the majority of
trading in gold and silver. Overall, precious metal accounted for 8% of OTC
commodities derivatives trading in 2010, down from their 55% share a decade earlier
as trading in energy derivatives rose.

Global physical and derivatives trading of commodities on exchanges increased more

than a third in 2010 to reach 1,684 million contacts. Agricultural contracts trading
grew by 32% in 2010, energy 29% and industrial metals by 30%. Precious metals
trading grew by 3% with higher volume in New York being partially offset by
declining volume in Tokyo. Over 40% of quarter in China. Trading on exchanges in
China and India has gained in importance in recent years due to their emergence as
significant commodities consumers and producers.

Present scenario

Todays commodity market is a global market place not only for agricultural
products, but also currencies and financial instruments such as Treasury bonds and
securities futures. Its a diverse marketplace of farmers, exporter, importers,
manufacturers and speculators. Modern technology has transformed commodities into
a global marketplace where a Kansas farmer can match a bid from a buyer in Europe.

The 2008 global boom in commodity prices- for everything from coal to corn was
fueled by heated demand from the likes of China and India, plus unbridled speculation
in forward markets.

The bubble popped in the closing months of 2008 across the board. As a result,
farmers are expected to face a sharp drop in crop prices, after years of record revenue.
Other commodities, such as steel, are also expected to tumble due to lower demand.
This will be a rare positive for manufacturing industries, which will experience a drop
in some input costs, partly offsetting the decline in downstream demand.
The Indian broking industry is one of the oldest trading industries that have been
around even before the establishment of BSE in 1875.

Inception- The roots of a stock market in India began in the 1860s during the
American Civil War that led to a sudden surge in the demand for cotton from India
resulting in setting up of a number of joint stock companies that issued securities to
raise finance.

Bubble burst- The early stock market saw a boom till 1865, and then in Jul
1865, what was then used to be called the share mania ended with burst of the stock
market bubble. In the aftermath of the crash, banks, on whose building steps share
brokers used to gather to seek stock tips and share news, disallowed them to gather
there, thus forcing them to find a place of their own, which later turned into the Dalal
Street. A group of about 300 brokers formed the stock exchange in Jul 1875, which
led to the formation of a trust in 1887 known as the Native Share and Stock Brokers
Association

Beginning of a new phase- A new phase in the Indian stock markets began in
the 1970s, with the introduction of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) that led
to divestment of foreign equity by the multinational companies, which created a surge
in retail investing.

Growth supporting factors-The early 1980s witnessed another surge in stock

markets when major companies such as Reliance accessed equity markets for resource
mobilization that evinced huge interest from retail investors. A new set of economic
and financial sector reforms that began in the early 1990s gave further impetus to the
growth of the stock markets in India.

Setting up of SEBI- the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which
was set up in 1988 as an administrative arrangement, was given statutory powers with
the enactment of the SEBI Act, 1992. The broad objectives of the SEBI include-

o to protect the interests of the investors in securities

o to promote the development of securities markets and to regulate the securities
markets

Incorporation of NSE- NSE was incorporated in Nov 1992 as a tax paying

company, the first of such stock exchanges in India, since stock exchanges earlier
were trusts, being run on no-profit basis. NSE was recognized as a stock exchange
under the Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act 1956 in Apr 1993. It commenced
operations in wholesale debt segment in Jun 1994 and capital market segment
(equities) in Nov 1994. The setting up of the National Stock Exchange brought to
Indian capital markets several innovations and modern practices and procedures such
as nationwide trading network, electronic trading, greater transparency in price
discovery and process driven operations that had significant bearing on further growth
of the stock markets in India. To speed the securities settlement process, The
Depositories Act 1996 was passed that allowed for dematerialization (and
dematerialization) of securities in depositories and the transfer of securities
through electronic book entry. The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL)
set up by leading financial institutions, commenced operations in Oct 1996.

Despite passing through a number of changes in the post liberalization period,

the industry has found its way towards sustainable growth. A stock Broker is a
regulated professional who buys and sells shares and other securities through market
makers or Agency Only Firms on behalf of investors. To work as a broker a certificate
of registration from SEBI is mandatory after satisfying all the terms and conditions.
FINANCIAL MARKETS

The financial markets have been classified as

Cash market (spot market) largest traded, the spot market or cash market is a
commodities or securities market in which goods are sold for cash and delivered
immediately. Derivatives market after cash market, the derivatives markets are the
financial markets for derivatives. The market can be divided into two that for
exchange traded derivatives and that for over-the-counter derivatives.

Debt market - The bond market (also known as the debt, credit, or fixed
income market) is a financial market where participants buy and sell debt securities.

Commodities market after commodities market, Commodity markets are

markets where raw or primary products are exchanged. These raw commodities are
traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which they are bought and sold in
standardized contracts.

PARTICIPANTS IN FINANCIAL MARKET

There are two basic financial market participant categories, Investor vs. Speculator
and Institutional vs. Retail. Action in financial markets by central banks is usually
regarded as intervention rather than participation.

Supply side vs. demand side

A market participant may either be coming from the Supply Side, hence supplying
excess money (in the form of investments) in favor of the demand side; or coming
from the Demand Side, hence demanding excess money (in the form of borrowed
equity) in favor of the Supply Side. This equation originated from Keynesian
Advocates. The theory explains that a given market may have excess cash; hence the
supplier of funds may lend it; and those in need of cash may borrow the funds
supplied. Hence, the equation: aggregate savings equals aggregate investments.

The demand side consists of: those in need of cash flows (daily operational needs);
those in need of interim financing (bridge financing); those in need of long-term funds
for special projects (capital funds for venture financing).
The supply side consists of: those who have aggregate savings (retirement funds,
pension funds, insurance funds) that can be used in favor of demand side. The origin
of the savings (funds) can be local savings or foreign savings. So much pensions or
savings can be invested for school buildings; orphanages; (but not earning) or for road
network (toll ways) or port development (capable of earnings).

The earnings go to owner (Savers or Lenders) and the margin goes to the banks.
When the principal and interest are added up, it will reflect the amount paid for the
user (borrower) of the funds. Thus, an interest percentage for the cost of using the
funds.

Investor vs. Speculator

Investor

An investor is any party that makes an Investment.

However, the term has taken on a specific meaning in finance to describe the
particular types of people and companies that regularly purchase equity or debt
securities for financial gain in exchange for funding an expanding company. Less
frequently the term is applied to parties who purchase real estate, currency,
commodity derivatives, personal property, or other assets.

Speculation

Speculation, in the narrow sense of financial speculation, involves the buying,

holding, selling, and short-selling of stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies,
collectibles, real estate, derivatives or any valuable financial instrument to profit from
fluctuations in its price as opposed to buying it for use or for income via methods such
as dividends or interest. Speculation or agiotage represents one of three market roles
in western financial markets, distinct from hedging, long term investing and arbitrage.
Speculators in an asset may have no intention to have long term exposure to that asset.
Institutional vs. Retail

Institutional investor

An institutional investor is an investor, such as a bank, insurance company, retirement

fund, hedge fund, or mutual fund, that is financially sophisticated and makes large
investments, often held in very large portfolios of investments. Because of their
sophistication, institutional investors may often participate in private placements of
securities, in which certain aspects of the securities laws may be inapplicable.

Retail investor

A retail investor is an individual investor possessing shares of a given security. Retail

investors can be further divided into two categories of share ownership.

1. A Beneficial Shareholder is a retail investor who holds shares of their

securities in the account of a bank or broker, also known as in Street Name. The
broker is in possession of the securities on behalf of the underlying shareholder.

2. A Registered Shareholder is a retail investor who holds shares of their

securities directly through the issuer or its transfer agent. Many registered
shareholders have physical copies of their stock certificates.

DEFINITION & SETUP OF MUTUAL FUND

In Mutual Fund Book, published by Investment company of U.S.A., A

Mutual Fund is a financial service organization that receives money from
shareholders, invest it, earns returns on it, attempts to make it grows and aggress to
pay the share holders cash on demand for the current value of his investment. The
investment managers of the funds manage these savings in such a way that the risk is
minimized and steady return is ensured.

of the Mutual Fund.
TRUST

The Mutual Fund is constituted as a trust in accordance with the provisions of

the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 by the sponsor. The trust deed provisions of the India
Trusts Act, 1882 by the sponsor. The trust deed is registered under the Indian
Registration Act, 1908.

FACTORS CONDUCIVE TO THE GROWTH OF MUTUAL FUNDS

On observing the past trends, it can be seen that certain factors are essential
for he growth of the mutual funds industry. These factors are:
INVESTOR BASE

A Mutual fund makes it possible for investors to earn a higher return on their
capital by pooling the capital of a large number of small investors and investing the
pooled sum in a diversified manner. As the small investors cannot diversity on their
own, their presence acts as a catalyst for the mutual funds to grow. As different
investors have different investment requirements their presence also acts as an
incentive for the mutual funds to come up with new schemes, thus helping in further
evolution of the industry.

RETURNS ON MARKET

Mutual funds invest in a diversified manner; the returns generated by them are
generally reflective of the market returns. Higher the market returns, higher the
expected returns from mutual funds. Higher expected returns attract more investors,
giving a boost to the mutual funds.

INVESTMENT AVENUES

The presence of certain investment avenues make mutual funds more

attractive than direct investment. One example of such investment avenues is money
market instruments. These instruments generally involve a large minimum
investment, which makes it impossible for a small investor to invest directly. Another
example is investment in real estate. While a small investor may not be able to invest
in real estate, especially on a diversified basis, internationally, there are mutual funds
dedicated to such investments and are called Real Estate Mutual Funds (REMF) such
funds are not presently not operating in India. Then there are some investment
avenues which require in-depth knowledge of complex instruments, for example,
securitized debt, derivatives, etc. Small investors may not have the knowledge to
understand the complexities of such instruments on their own, and may find it
preferable to depend on the expert knowledge offered by mutual fund mangers. The
presence of such instruments makes investments flow to mutual MUTUAL FUND A
GLOBALLY PROVEN
INVESTMENT AVENUE

World wide, Mutual Fund or unit trust as it is referred to in some parts of the
world, has a long and successful history. The popularity of Mutual Fund has increase
manifold in developed financial markets, like the United States. As at the end of
March 2006, in the US alone there were 8002 Mutual Fund with total assets of over
US $ 9.36 trillion (Rs. 427 lakh crore)

In India, the Mutual Fund industry started with the setting up of the Unit Trust
of India in 1964. Public sector banks and financial institutions were allowed to
establish MF in 1987. Since 1993, private sector and foreign institutions were
permitted to set up MFs.

In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India Act 1963 the
erstwhile UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities Viz. The specified undertaking
of the Unit Trust of India, representing broadly, the absets of US 64 schemes, assured
the turns and certain others scheme and UTI MF conforming to SEBI MF
Regulations.

As at the end of March 2006, there were 29 MFs, which managed assets of Rs
231862 crores (Us $52 billion) under 592 scheme this fast growing industry is
regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)

The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit
Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank. The
history of mutual fund in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases.
 INTRODUCTION TO INSURANCE

A quick, simple definition of insurance could be as follows: Reimbursement in a

situation of loss. Usually, someone decides that insurance is needed. In order for the
concept of insurance to arise, a prepayment of some type is required. In the case of
typical, everyday general auto, health and life insurance, for example, the pre payment
is in the form of a premium. Prior to the eve of the year 2000, thousands of people
flocked to the stores, stocking up on numerous supplies. They feared that something
catastrophic was going to take place once the clock struck midnight, and if so, they
wanted to do prepare. Isnt this a form of insurance? Sure in its basic definition. The
supplies they purchased would act as reimbursement in the case of loss.

Early insurance goes back to the Egyptian times. It was known that around 3000 BC,
Chinese merchants dispersed their shipments among several vessels to avoid the
possibility of damage or loss. There are some insurance companies around today in
the United States that provided insurance back in the mid 1700s, as well as some that
provided relief to banks during the 1930s and the Great Depression. Today, there is
insurance for any aspects of daily living: Business, Auto, Health, Life and Travel.
Each of those categories includes sub-categories, branching off into numerous
divisions.

From the beginning human societies sought ways to soften the shocks of existence. Our
ancestors were very much aware that no individual could go it alone, that only by pooling the
resources of the many could the unfortunate few be helped.

This simple notion of mutuality persists like a welcome footpath through the incredible tangle
of human history. While empires have risen and collapsed, through wars, famines and
pestilence, during the ebb and flow of struggling generations, the idea of insurance as the
victory of human thought over the rude violence of life

Even as human society emerged from the darkness of unrecorded time, we see it at once. In
ancient Babylonia, where from the confluence of two rivers, enterprising merchants sent
caravans and ships to trade with all parts of the known world: with Egypt, Phoenicia, India
and China.

To reduce the risk of robbery, plunder and capture for ransom, the Babylonians devised a
system of contracts in which the supplier of capital for a venture agreed to cancel the loan if
the trader was robbed of his goods. The trader who borrowed the capital paid an extra amount
for this protection (a premium) in addition to the usual interest. As for the lender, collecting
these premiums from many traders made it possible for him to absorb the losses of the few.
This arrangement proved to be more appealing and sensible than the earlier one of pledging
not only the traders ships and other tangible property, but also his life (as a slave) and those
of his family as well. Accordingly, the practice was sensibly legalized in the Code of
Hammurab.

These arrangements became well known to the Phoenicians and to the Greeks, Hindus we
discover a comprehensive code of sea laws, including a principle of jettison or general
average. It states that if it becomes necessary to throw goods overboard in order to lighten
the ships, such sacrifice for the common benefit should be made good by a common
contribution. The very word insurance is derived from the Latin word for security.

UNIT LINKED INSURANCE PLANS

Unit linked insurance plan (ULIP) is a life insurance solution that provides the client
with the benefits of protection and flexibility in investment. It is a solution which
provides for life insurance where the policy value at any time varies according to the
value of the underlying assets at the time. The investment is denoted as unit and is
represented by the value that it has attained called as Net Asset Value (NAV).

In other words, it is a policy, which provides for life insurance where the policy value
at any time varies according to the value of the underlying assets at the time. ULIP is
life insurance solution that provides for the benefits of protection and flexibility in
investment. The investment is denoted as units and is represented by the value that it
has attained called as Net Asset Value (NAV).

A unit-linked insurance plan provides both insurance and investment benefit. In unit-
linked plans, the premiums paid are invested in funds offered by the company; the
policyholder determines the appropriate ratio of investments into these funds. The
funds are generally invested in equities, debt instruments, money market instruments,
and government securities.
The value of the policy is determined on any day by multiplying the number of units
issued by the value of units on that day. The value of these units is called the Net
Asset Value (NAV) and is normally published in newspapers on a daily basis. Unit-
linked insurance products are risky because the premium money invested is subject to
market risk. The funds do not offer a guaranteed or assured return. Insurance
companies will only show you a projected return, which may or may not be achieved
during the term of the policy.

ULIPs are a category of goal-based financial solutions that combine the safety of
insurance protection with wealth creation opportunities. In ULIPs, a part of the
investment goes towards providing a life cover. The residual portion of the ULIP is
invested in a fund which in turn invests in stocks or bonds; the value of investments
alters with the performance of the underlying fund opted by the customer.

Simply put, ULIPs are structured in such that the protection element and the savings
element are distinguishable, and hence managed according to your specific needs. In
this way, the ULIP plan offers unprecedented flexibility and transparency.

ULIPs came into play in 1960s and became very popular in Western Europe and
America. The reason that is attributed to the wide spread popularity of ULIP is
because of the transparency and the flexibility which it offers to the clients. As time
progressed the plans were also successfully mapped along with life insurance needs to
retirement planning .In todays times ULIP provides solution for all the needs of a
client like insurance planning, financial needs, financial planning for childrens future
and retirement planning.

STRUCTURE OF ULIPs

ULIPs offered by different insurers have varying charge structures. Broadly

the different types of fees and charges are given below. However the insurers have the
right to revise or cancel the fees and charges over a period of time.

Premium Allocation charges

This is a percentage of the premium appropriated towards charges before

allocating the units under the policy. This charge normally includes initial and renewal
expenses apart from commission expenses.

Mortality Charges

These are charges to provide for the cost of insurance coverage under the plan.
Mortality charges depend on number of factors such as age, amount of coverage, state
of health etc.

Fund Management Charges

These are fees levied for management of the fund(s) and are deducted before arriving
at the Net Asset Value (NAV) .

Policy/ Administration Charges

These are the fees for administration of the plan and levied by cancellation of units.
This could be flat throughout the policy term or vary at a predetermined rate.

Surrender Charges

A surrender charge may be deducted for premature partial or full encashment of units
wherever applicable, as mentioned in the policy conditions.

Fund Switching Charge

Generally a limited number of fund switches may be allowed each year without
charge, with subsequent switches, subject to a charge. But now a days many insurers
offer fund switching free of cost.

Service Tax Deductions

Before allotment of the units the applicable service tax is deducted from the risk
portion of the premium.
TYPES OF FUNDS UNDER ULIPs

Most insurers offer a wide range of funds to suit ones investment objectives, risk
profile and time horizons. Different funds have different risk

profiles. The potential for returns also varies from fund to fund. The following are
some of the common types of funds available along with an indication of their risk
characteristics.

ADVANTAGES OF ULIPS

ULIP distinguishes itself through the multiple benefits that it provides to the
consumer. The plan is a one stop solution for everything the customers want. Unit
Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs) are different from traditional plans purely because,
they are much more transparent, various charges are shared with the customer before
the sale of the product, so as to enable the customer to make an informed decision.

Customers have the flexibility to choose their life cover. Also the customers have the
choice of multiple fund options based on their risk appetite, thereby enabling an
investor to make the desired returns from the investment.

The following are some of the advantages of Unit linked plans:

1. A combination of protection and tax advantage, unit-linked policies dominate

a huge chunk of the portfolio of the private insurers. The annual premium
contributes over 70% to the premium income.
2. In the event of death during the life of the policy, the sum assured or value of
the policy fund whichever is higher is paid to the nominees.
3. There is a lot of flexibility in these plans with falling interest rates. So an
investor can adjust his risk profile according to his choice. The risk element is
transferred to the investor and the insurance company enjoys the capital and
solvency.
4. The client is aware of the "no guarantee" era and he plans his investment
judiciously.
5. The client enjoys transparency, by way of returns on the equity markets
simultaneously enjoying the benefits of life cover.
6. It's tax-free, unlike a mutual fund or any other investment, where the gains are
taxed.
7. The client also has an option of restructuring his investment pattern which is a
value addition to the original policy (i.e. top-ups)
8. Contrary to the traditional policies, the unit linked policies are more
transparent, flexible and easy to understand. The customer has open options
for investment and he is consciously aware of the ratio of his premium
towards investment and life cover.

The investment is denoted as unit and is represented by the value that it has attained
called as Net Asset Value (NAV).
