In the Indian culture, saving and for that matter investing – particularly in gold is very common. However, when you ask someone what are the investment options available for you, the most common answers are equity (shares), fixed deposits, gold and real estate (property). Though the Indian Financial Market is not so developed as that of the developed nations, there are a plethora of options available in India which should be explored and used by the investor depending on his financial circumstances. The Indian Market has grown tremendously beyond the traditional options available. This book is an attempt to discuss the various investment options available in the Indian context. The focus of the book is not on ‘how to invest’ but ‘where to invest’. Each investor’s goals and needs differ. He has to draft a financial plan to suit his needs and at the same time the investment should be tax efficient. The investment option chosen must be based on his financial plan. The book covers general information on the various investment options in simple language and relevant tax laws have been incorporated. We have tried to make the contents as readable, understandable and nonmathematical as possible. The information has been collected from various public sources. Though we have tried our best to keep the information as accurate and updated as possible, it’s possible that some errors have crept in. The book has been updated till November 2011. Comments, suggestions and corrections are most welcome from the reader. Remember, With money, one can command devils, Without it, one cannot even summon a man. So, Work hard, Save regularly and invest wisely. Hopefully, the readers will be benefited. Happy reading INTRODUCTION Do you have money put away for a rainy day? How will you manage if there’s a family emergency? What about a down payment for a home, or a fund for higher education, or retirement? Do you have loans to repay? In this era of recession, deflation, and job cuts, it is especially important for you to consider where your hard-earned money is going; financial security is the key in today’s unpredictable world. And the first step towards gaining that security is to start investing. Still not convinced? Then ask yourself why you need to save and invest. The answer’s really very simple: so that your money can start earning money, and work towards reducing the effort you put in everyday. By investing, you'll have a lot more money for things like retirement, education, recreation -- or you could pass on your riches to the next generation so that you become your family's Most Cherished Ancestor. If you borrow money to pay for things you want, you are paying interest to others instead of to yourself. Investing offers you a way to pay yourself instead of others. For example, if you wish to send your children to college some day, you may be able to borrow money for tuition, but either you or they will have to pay it back with interest. If you choose to invest money today instead, you can earn interest and pay yourself, up until the time you need the money. SAVING Vs. INVESTING At this point, we need to address the differences between saving and investing. Savings provide for emergencies and fund specific purchases in the near future (within two years). The primary goal is to store funds and keep them safe. However, you invest to increase net worth and work toward long-term goals. Also realise that investing involves risk, where you could lose some of your original investment. Only consider an investment plan when you have in place an emergency fund, insurance, control over credit use, and a retirement plan. WEALTH MANAGEMENT Private wealth management encompasses a wide range of services aimed at managing the financial affairs of an individual and family. Accordingly, this discipline covers: 1. Financial Planning – 1. Financial planning 2. Risk management and insurance planning 3. Retirement planning and employee benefits 4. Estate planning 5. Tax planning 6. Investment planning 2. Advisory services 3. Research services 4. Banking and finance a. Day to day banking b. Liquidity management services c. Lending d. Foreign exchange services 5. Portfolio management services a. Discretionary mandates b. Non-discretionary mandates Why to go to a wealth manager/financial advisor/financial planner? With the growth of the Indian economy and the increase in the divide between the rich and the poor, more excess capital is becoming available in the hands of the individuals and their families. This money needs to be invested smartly to increase returns bearing in mind the risk constraints. With the rapid increase in the number of investment products creating a problem of choice, growing awareness towards one’s finances and an increase in financial frauds has made it increasingly difficult for the individuals and families as a whole to manage their finances on their own. The most important point to bear in mind is that we are dealing with ourselves – humans where the decision making process is greatly influenced by personal concerns and preferences. The universe of private investors is heterogeneous with diverse investment objectives, tastes (likes and dislikes), time horizons, perceptions of risk, taxation along with the varying degree of stability and logic. Hence, all the problems of individuals are unique and the solutions cannot be tailor made by blindly applying the assumptions of modern financial theory. A Wealth Manager or financial advisor understands the needs of the investor and provides him with an investment package which suits him.

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Guru Jambeshwar University, Hissar AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON FINANCIAL JUNGLE WITH SHAREKHAN AS YOUR GUIDE Training Supervisor Submitted By: MR. RAVI VERMA ANUJ DIWAKAR (AREA ASSISTANT MANAGER) (2007-2010) ROLL NO: 07511242131 Session (2007-2010) GURU JAMBESHWAR UNIVERSITY HISSAR-125001 PREFACE No professional curriculum is considered complete without work experience. It is well evident that work experience is an indispensable part of every professional course. In the same manner practical work in any organization is must for each an every individual, who is undergoing management course. Without the practical exposure one cannot consider himself as a qualified capable manager. Entering in the organization is like stepping into altogether a new world. At first, everything seems strange and unheard but as the time passes one can understand the concept and working of the organization thereby develop professional relationship. Initially I felt that as if classroom study was irrelevant and it is useless in any working concern. But gradually I realized that all fundamental basic concepts studied are linked in one or in another way to the organization. But how and what can be done with fundamentals, depend upon the intellectual and applicability skills of an individual. During my summer training, a specific customer survey was assigned to me which helped me to have a full market exposure. This project helped me to understand and cope up with different types of people and there diversified opinions or needs. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The completion of my summer training and project would not have been possible without the constant and timely encouragement of MR.

  • Secondary Or Stock Market in India
    By Dr. Snigdha Mishra Assistant Professor The stock exchange is an organised and centralised market for the purchase and sale of industrial and financial securities of all descriptions, viz., Stocks, Shares, Debentures etc. It is a market for transactions in old securities. Practically, it is a place where the buyer of a security may find a seller who is ready to sell his holdings at a fair and reasonable price provided the security has been listed. According to the Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act of 1956, a stock exchange is „an association, organisation or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not, established for the purpose of assisting, regulating and controlling business in buying, selling and dealing in securities‟. The stock exchange was established by “East India company” in 18th century . In India it was established in 1850 with 22 stock brokers opposite to town hall Bombay .This stock exchange is known as oldest stock exchange of Asia. In 1975, it was renamed as Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). There are 23 stock exchanges in the India. Mumbai's (earlier known as Bombay), Bombay Stock Exchange is the largest, with over 6,000 stocks listed. The BSE accounts for over two thirds of the total trading volume in the country.

    1 Securities Market in India – An Overview ISMR Securities Market in India – An Overview Introduction We are living in exciting times, witnessing a process of ever-increasing globalization and innovation in the fi nancial markets. This is bringing with it sophistication and thus a need to better understand fi nancial risks and develop tools to manage them. The fi nancial markets and institutions have undergone signifi cant changes keeping pace with the changing needs of market participants. Along side the rise of private fi nance, the fi nancial markets are seeing an enhanced role of National Governments through Sovereign Wealth Funds. Venture capital funds and hedge funds have added new dimension to the market dynamics. India has not remained untouched by these developments worldwide. With its growing and increasingly complex market-oriented economy and increasing integration with global trade and fi nance, India’s fi nancial system has also innovated. In the securities markets, organisational innovation has been witnessed with corporatisation and demutualization of all the stock exchanges; institutional innovations in the form of emergence of regulators, Self Regulatory Organizations and clearing corporations and more recently, market innovations through a short selling and Securities Lending and Borrowing Scheme, Direct Market Access, addressing of the legal, regulatory, tax and market design issues in the development of the corporate bond market in the country, provision of a legal framework for trading of securitized debt, quicker procedures for registration and operation by FIIs, making PAN as the sole identifi cation number for all transactions in securities market and new derivative products such as currency futures.
