    INDUSTRY STUDY

    The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited(NSE) are the two primary exchanges in India. In addition, there are 22 Regional StockExchanges. However, the BSE and NSE have established themselves as the two leadingexchanges and account for about 80% of the equity volume traded in India. The NSE and BSEare equal in size in terms of daily traded volume.

    The average daily turnover at the exchanges has increased from Rs851crore in 1997-98 toRs1284crore in 1998-99 and further to Rs2273crore in 1999-2000. NSE has around 1500 shareslisted with the total market capitalization of around Rs9, 21,500crore.

    The BSE has over 6000 stocks listed and has a market capitalization of around Rs9,68,000crore. Most key stocks are traded on both the exchanges and hence the investor could buyon either of the exchanges. Both exchanges have a different settlement cycle, which allowsinvestors to shift their position on the bourses. The primary index of BSE in BSE Sensexcomprises 30 stocks. NSE has the S&P NSE 50 Index (Nifty), which consists of fifty stocks. TheBSE Sensex is the older and most widely followed index. Both these indices are calculated onthe basis of market capitalization and contain the heavily traded shares from key sectors.

    The markets are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Both the exchanges have switched over fromthe open outcry trading system to a fully automated computerized mode of trading known asBOLT (BSE On Line Trading) and NEAT (National Exchange Automated Trading) system. Itfacilitates more efficient processing, automatic order matching, faster execution of trades andtransparency.The scrip traded on the BSE has been classified into A, B1, B2, C, F, and Z groups.The A group shares represent those, which are in the carry forward system (Badla). The Fgroup represents the dept market (fixed income securities) segment. The Z group scrip is the

    HISTORY:

    Mr. Aditya Vikram Birla, the Group's visionary leader set up India's first truly global

    multinational The roots of the Aditya Birla Group date back to the 19th century in the picturesque town of

    Pilani set amidst the Rajasthan desert. It was here that Seth Shiv Narayan Birla startedtrading in cotton, laying the foundation for the House of Birla.

    Through India's arduous times of the 1850s, the Birla business expanded rapidly. In the early part of the 20th century, the Group's founding father, Mr. Ghanshyamdas Birla, set upindustries in critical sectors such as textiles and fibre, aluminium, cement, and chemicals. Asa close confidant of Mahatma Gandhi, he played an active role in the Indian freedomstruggle. He represented India at the first and second round-table conferences in London,along with Gandhiji. It was at Birla House in Delhi that the luminaries of the Indian freedomstruggle often met to plot the downfall of the British Raj.

    Mr. Ghanshyamdas Birla found no contradiction in pursuing business goals with thededication of a saint, emerging as one of the foremost industrialists of pre-independenceIndia. The principles by which he lived were soaked up by his grandson, Mr. Aditya VikramBirla, the Group's legendary leader.

    Mr. Aditya Vikram Birla Putting India on the world map A formidable force in Indian industry, Mr. Aditya Birla dared to dream of setting up a global

    business empire at the age of 24. He was the first to put Indian business on the world map, as

    far back as 1969, long before globalisation became a buzzword in India.In the then vibrant and free market South East Asian countries, he ventured to set up world-class production bases. He had foreseen the winds of change and staked the future of his

    business on a competitive, free market driven economic order. He put Indian business on theglobe, 22 years before economic liberalisation was formally introduced by the former PrimeMinister, Mr. Narasimha Rao, and the former Union Finance Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh.He set up 19 companies outside India, in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines andEgypt.

    Interestingly, for Mr. Aditya Birla, globalisation meant more than just geographic reach. He believed that a business could be global even while being based in India. Therefore, back inhis home-territory, he drove single-mindedly to put together the building blocks to make ourIndian business a global force.

    Under his stewardship, his companies rose to be the world's largest producer of viscosestaple fibre, the largest refiner of palm oil, the third-largest producer of insulators and thesixth-largest producer of carbon black. In India, they attained the status of the largest single

    producer of viscose filament yarn, apart from being a producer of cement, grey cement, andrayon grade pulp. The Group is also the largest producer of aluminium in the private sector,

    the lowest first-cost producers in the world and the only producer of linen in the textileindustry in India.

    At the time of his untimely demise in 1995, the Group's revenues had crossed Rs.8,000 croreglobally, with assets of over Rs.9,000 crore, comprising 55 benchmark quality plants, anemployee strength of 75,000 and a shareholder community of 600,000.

    Most importantly, his companies earned the respect and admiration of the people, as one ofIndia's finest business houses, and the first Indian international Group globally. Through this

    outstanding record of enterprise, he helped create enormous wealth for the nation, andrespect for Indian entrepreneurship in South East Asia. In his time, his success wasunmatched by any other industrialist in India.

    That India attains respectable rank among the developed nations was a dream he forevercherished. He was proud of India and took equal pride in being an Indian.

    FINANCIAL SERVICES, BRANDED APPAREL,TELECOM BUOY ADITYA BIRLA NUVOKrishna MerchantLive MintMay 29, 2013Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd reported growth in profitability for the fourth consecutive quarter onthe back of robust growth in the financial services business, which offset poor performancein the insurance and agricultural business.

    Aditya Birla Nuvos consolidated revenue grew 17% from a year ago to Rs.6,996 crore,

    better than 10% growth in the December quarter. Net profit growth was slightly lower at17% from the previous quarter on account of the disappointing performance of the insurance

    business.

    Revenue for the insurance segment, which contributes around one fourth to the top lineslipped by 5% from a year ago to Rs.1,637 crore, while EBIT (earnings before interest andtax) plunged at a faster clip of 31% to Rs.89 crore.

    Sushil Agarwal, chief financial officer of Aditya Birla Nuvo, said, Because of overall

    growth slowdown, sales growth of financial products was affected. Also, the surrender rate in policy has been very high, which has led to higher provisioning and that has weighed on the profitability.

    The insurance regulator has come out with new rules that require its approval for all productofferings, which will continue to affect sales in this segment.

    Even fertilizers, which contribute 9% to the topline, saw 19% growth in revenue to Rs.615crore, but a 35% plunge in EBIT because of higher prices for the farm input, weak demandand delays in subsidy payment.

    Strong revenue growth of 46% from a year ago was seen in the garments and apparel business buoyed by the Pantaloons acquisition, with around marginal 4% growth in EBIT.

    Other financial services business performed well sales grew 49% from a year ago toRs.399 crore, with 62% growth in the EBIT led by strong growth in the non-bankingfinancial company (NBFC) and asset-management businesses. The telecom business alsoshowed decent growth of around 25% at the EBIT level.

    The companys debt has risen around 30% and interest costs have also jumped 68% from a

    year ago because of the Pantaloon acquisition. Aditya Birla Nuvo has outperformed the S&PBSE 200 index in the past year and is trading at 9.46X one year forward multiple.

    It may continue to do well as long as subsidy payments kick in, the laggard carbon black business is separated and the insurance business takes wing.

    Mutual Funds

    An investment vehicle that is made up of a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similarassets. Mutual funds are operated by money managers, who invest the fund's capital and attemptto produce capital gains and income for the fund's investors. A mutual fund's portfolio isstructured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in its prospectus.

    Bond/IPOs

    Grouped under the general category called fixed-income securities, the term bond is commonly

    used to refer to any securities that are founded on debt. When you purchase a bond, you arelending out your money to a company or government. In return, they agree to give you intereston your money and eventually pay you back the amount you lent out.

    The main attraction of bonds is their relative safety. If you are buying bonds from a stablegovernment, your investment is virtually guaranteed, or risk-free. The safety and stability,however, come at a cost. Because there is little risk, there is little potential return. As a result, the

    Real Estate

    This is again for the long term with a high risk and very low liquidity factor. Liquidity is definedas the ease with which you could sell your investment for cash quickly. Investing in property can

    be done by :

    1. Buying apartments and plots in either residential or commercial areas2. Or buying Real Estate Mutual Funds.

    Commodities

    A commodity market is a market that trades in primary rather than manufactured products. Softcommodities are agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa and sugar. Hard commoditiesare mined, such as (gold, rubber and oil). Investors access about 50 major commodity marketsworldwide with purely financial transactions increasingly outnumbering physical trades in whichgoods are delivered. Futures contracts are the oldest way of investing in commodities. Futures

    are secured by physical assets.Commodity markets can include physical trading and derivativestrading using spot prices, forwards, futures, and options on futures. Farmers have used a simpleform of derivative trading in the commodity market for centuries for price risk management.

    A financial derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from a commodity termedan underlier. Derivatives are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter (OTC). An increasingnumber of derivatives are traded via clearing houses some with Central Counterparty Clearing,

    which provide clearing and settlement services on a futures exchange, as well as off-exchange inthe OTC market.

    Derivatives such as futures contracts, Swaps (1970s-), Exchange-traded Commodities (ETC)(2003-), forward contracts have become the primary trading instruments in commodity markets.Futures are traded on regulated commodities exchanges. Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts are"privately negotiated bilateral contracts entered into between the contracting parties directly".

    Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) began to feature commodities in 2003. Gold ETFs are based on"electronic gold" that does not entail the ownership of physical bullion, with its added costs ofinsurance and storage in repositories such as the London bullion market. According to the WorldGold Council, ETFs allow investors to be exposed to the gold market without the risk of pricevolatility associated with gold as a physical commodity
