The trading of securities such as stocks and bonds is conducted in stock exchanges,

which are grouped under the general termstock market.

A stock exchange is essentially a marketplace for stocks and bonds, with stockbrokers

earning small commissions on each transaction they make. Stocks that are handled by one

or more stock exchanges are called listed stocks. For a corporation's stock to be listed on

an exchange, the company must meet certain exchange requirements. Each exchange has

its own criteria and standards, but in general a company must show that it has sufficient

capital and is in sound financial condition. Once a company is listed, trading in its stock

will be suspended if the company's financial condition decline to the point that it no

longer meets the exchange's minimum requirements.

When a person wishes to purchase a stock, she places an order with a brokerage house.

Thebrokergets a quotation or price and sends the order to the firm's representative on the

floor of the stock exchange. The representative negotiates the sale and notifies the

brokerage house. Transactions happen rapidly, and each one is recorded on a computer

system and sent immediately to an electronic ticker that displays stock information on a

screen. At one time this information was generally only available at stock brokerage

houses, but the daily stock ticker is now available on television and through the Internet.

In short selling, the trader borrows stock (usually from his brokerage which holds its

clients' shares or its own shares on account to lend to short sellers) then sells it on the

market, hoping for the price to fall. The trader eventually buys back the stock, making

money if the price fell in the meantime or losing money if it rose. Exiting a short position

by buying back the stock is called "covering a short position." This strategy is also used

by unscrupulous traders to lower the price of a stock. Hence most markets either prevent

a short sell or place restrictions on when and how a short sell can occur. These

restrictions are usually referred to as tick rule.

In margin buying, the trader borrows money (at interest) to buy a stock and hopes for it to

rise.

Stock market indices

The movements of the prices in a market or section of a market are captured in price

indices called stock market indices, of which there are many, e.g., the S&P, the FTSE and

the Euro next indices.

The financial system performs three main tasks: firstly, it handles transfer of payments;

secondly, it channels savings to investments with a good return for future consumption;

and thirdly, it spreads and reduces (local enterprise) economic risks in relation to the

players' targeted returns.

The smooth functioning of all these activities facilitates economic growth in that lower

costs and enterprise risks promote the production of goods and services as well asemployment. In this way the financial system contributes to increased prosperity.

The stock market is one of the most important sources for companies to raise money.

The price of shares and other assets is an important part of the dynamics of economic

growth. Rising share prices, for instance, tend to be associated with increased business

investment and vice versa. Share prices also affect the wealth of households and their

consumption.

They are typically significant players in their markets, with sound strategies that will

help them achieve and sustain market dominance in the long run. They have strong

brands, management credentials and a consistent track record of achieving super normal

shareholder returns. We expect stocks in this category to compound at between 18-20%

per annum for the next five to ten years.

25/90

2. Apple Green: --

These are stocks that have the potential to be steady compounders and are attempting

to move upwards, to turn Evergreen. They rank a shade below the Evergreen companies,

only because their potential in the five to ten years' time is still not very clear, although

they might grow at rates faster than that of the Evergreen stocks in the next year or two.

They could grow at 25-30% per annum over the next two to three years.

3. Emerging Star: --

These are typically young companies, often in niche businesses, that have the

potential to grow and dominate their niches. Even better, they might turn out to be real

giants, if their niches explode into full-blown markets in their own rights. These stocks

are potential ten-baggers but you need to be patient.

4. Ugly Duckling: --

These are companies that are trading below their fair value or at values, which are at

a significant discount to that of their peer group, due to a combination of circumstances.

But things are now starting to happen in these companies or in their markets that are

likely to cause a re-evaluation of their prospects. These stocks could double in two to

three years' time.

5. Vulture's Pick: --

These are companies with valuable assets or brands that have been trashed to

ridiculously low prices. Buy a Vulture's Pick and wait for a predator who finds its assets

undervalued to come along. This could be a long wait but the returns could be startlinglyhigh.

1.3 Problems of Organization

Share khan has been strongly committed not only to environmental conservation

programs but also expresses the increasingly inseparable balance between the economic

concerns and the environmental and social issues faced by a business. A business must

not grow at the expense of mankind and mans future but rather must serve mankind.

Share Khan has failed to evolve into a widespread internet broking firm because

of its un-focused promotional strategies (advertisements in electronic media,

newspapers, etc) across the length and breadth of India. Although it is a well

known broking house in some states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, etc. it still lacks

considerable awareness in the northern parts of India where its competitors have

been building their reputation very rapidly.

The other of Share Khan is that they give more attention to HNIs (high net worth

individuals) as compared to retail investors.

Most of the processing and clarifications (account opening, payments, etc) are

routed to the head office in Mumbai due to lack of decision making powers of

local branches which delays the speedy execution of decision

Thus no control of square off price.

1.5 S.W.O.T. Analysis of Share Khan

A swot analysis focuses on there internal and external environments. Examining strengths

and weaknesses in the internal environment and opportunities and threats in the external

environment

STRENGTHS

Services

As a product share khan is a extremely innovative product with very less cost services

like online trading facility institutional and domestic broking. Customized research with

almost 80% efficiency etc. Share khan an edge over its research provides other support

services that make retail investors more confident and assured with their trading. SMS

alerts (allowing traders and investors to make the most of the available opportunities).

Softer intangible features like amagers, equity driving preference. Through efficient

trading processes investors can place their orders directly on the internet do all the

information seeking and basically own the investing process.

Distribution network

Sharekhan with almost 250 branches spread across 123 cities beefed up by

comprehensive online research advice and transaction services. In near future expect to

make 200000-retail customers being serviced through centralized call centre/ web

solution. 60 branches semi branches servicing affluent aggressive through highly skilled

financial advisors. 250 independent advisory roles through fundamental & technical

research and new initiatives are being made in portfolio management services &

commodities trading.

Marketing

Sharekhan is a product of SSKI a veteran equities solutions company with over decades

of experience in the Indian stock markets.

37


38/90

Sharekhan does not claim expertise in too many things. Shraekhans expertise lies in

stocks and that what it talks about with authority. So when he saves that investing in

stocks should not be confused with trading in stocks or a portfolio-based strategy is better

than betting on a single horse. It is something that is spoken with years of focused and

experience in the stock markets.

Products

Companys product line is quite flexible in the sense that there is a product for every kind

of investors. Also all the products cover all the products offered by the other competitors

like low cost user-friendly online trading services etc.

WEAKNESS

Localized presence due to insufficient investments for country wide expansion.

Lack of awareness among customers because of non-aggressive promotional

strategies (print media, newspapers, etc).

Lesser emphasis on customer retention.

Focuses more on HNIs than retail investors which results in meager market-

share as compared to close competitors.

OPPORTUNITIES

The external environment analysis may reveal certain opportunities for profit and growth.

Ever-increasing market

After the NSE brought the screen based trading system stock markets are now more

secured which has attracted lot of retail investors and the demand is increasing day by

day. This has resulted in improved liquidity and heavy volumes on transaction. Share

38


39/90

khan is one of the early entrants here. As to how much it will roar swift it can swoop on

the market, the future alone can answer such queries. Sharekhan has been a mega player

and is known for being a mover of stocks. It is also known for putting big deals through

and enjoys good networking with the FIIs. It has been dynamic enough to move with the

times and capture the opportunities that the market throws up from time to time.

Improving technology

In county like India technology is always improving which gives the company a chance

to keep on improving their product with time whereas for the small players like local

brokers it will be difficult to keep the same pace as the changing technology. Also with

SEBI lying down some strict guidelines small brokers are finding it harder to retain

customers with no research department and small capital. The traditional business players

may not have systems technology, customer services etc capable of directly servicing so

many retail customers.

Education level

The education level in the country is improving year as far as technology goes. With thatthe understanding of the stock market is also increasing and a lot of retail investors are

steeping in the markets which are being shown by increasing volumes, transactions and

indices.

THREATS

Aggressive promotional strategies by close competitors may hamper Share

Khans acceptance by new clients.

Lack of sufficient branch-offices for speedy delivery of services.

Other players are providing margin funds to investors on easy terms where as

there is no such facility in share khan.

39


40/90

More and more players are venturing into this domain which can further reduce

the earnings of Share Khan.

OBJECTIVE & METHODOLOGY

2.1 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This project will accomplish to understand the problem faced by the new client with

respect to online share trading and find ways to solve their queries at microscopic level.

The study also aims to highlight the possible hurdles that a prospective client faces whoare interested to investing in securities but is unaware of the system of online share

trading. Its also aims at finding out the brand image of the organization amongst the

general investors and give information to the management about the new developments in

the market adopted by the competitors and the areas where the company needs to

improve.

2.2 MANAGERIAL USEFULNESS OF THE STUDY

The stock market is one such institution whose very existence has been challenged by the

growth in information technology. It has turned very idea of a stock market on its head.

Technology has impact the working of stock markets in every sense. However, useful

starting point for this study would be the study of dematerialization, or demat as it is

popularly known as. This is simply because demat has change the way stocks are held

and traded and therefore has effect on every other function of the market.

Dematerialization in simple terms means the conversion of shares from physical to

electronic form.

40


41/90

Demat, enabled by the use of technology is probably is single most important factor

which has repercussions on every aspect of the stock markets.

Demat in India started with the creation of NSDL (National stock depository limited) in

1996. UTI was one of the first institutions to use demat when it decided to dematerialize50% of its holdings in 1997. SEBI gave a boost to demat, with compulsory trading on

shares in demat form in specified scrips by institutional investors from Jan 15, 1998.

Table: Number of scrips under compulsory demats and value of demat shares

TimelineNo. of scrips Year Value of demat shares

Mar 1999 31 2000 1,14,255 Cr

Mar 2000 462 2001 4,00,000 Cr

Oct 2000 1413 2002 4,35,000 Cr

Table:2.1

Consequently, an increasing percentage of the share trading is done in demat form:

The exhibit below shows the percentage of demat shares in the total value traded at NSE

over a period of 6 years.

Table: percentage of trade in demat form

Timeline Percentage of trade in demat form

Apr 1998 2.5%

Dec 1999 79.3%

Since 2003 99%

Table2.2

Dematerialization has benefited the market and the market players in more than one way.

Demat is instrumental in:

41


42/90

Abolition of market lots

Introduction of rolling settlements

Enhancing liquidity

Brining stamp duty to zero

Reducing chances of bad delivery

Increased lending by banks and other FIs

SEBI extended demat to IPOs during capital reforms in capital markets in 2002. The

premise being elimination of problems due to loss of allotment letters, share certificates

etc., encouraging shareholders to out of for demat credit allotments, trading compulsorily

in demat form within an option of holding shares in physical form for retail investors.

BSE, the first exchange to be set up in India, started as a floor-based exchange. However,

NSE, setup as an alternative to BSE, was an electronic (computerized) exchange. With

advancements in technology, both these exchanges moved to SBTS (Screen Based

Trading System) in `997.

While NSE introduced NEAT (NSEs Online Trading System) in May 1997, BSE

introduced BOLT (BSEs Online Trading System) in September 1997 in Mumbai.

The outcome has phenomenal with respect to the number of trades taking place on these

two exchanges.

Further, trading in stocks has reached retail investors home via the Internet in 2003-2004,

SEBI proposed Internet based trading under ORS (Order Routing System)

Trading via Internet was an instant hit, with 18 members being granted licenses in 2004-

2005 and trades touching 767 Cr. During the first six months itself.

Although security concerns still exist regarding the safety of data transfer over the

Internet, companies like VERISIGN and RSA, who specialize in security algorithms and

data encryption ensure high degree of authenticity and trust in trades.

42


43/90

Information Flow

Any trading system disseminates data to market constituents, in other words, information

is freely available. This has two disadvantages-

It makes easier for off-exchange transactions to occur because of availability of

information.

It makes off-exchange transactions attractive due to absence of trading costs.

On the other hand rapid flow of information has also meant increased volatility in the

markets. In financial terms, volatility is:

The degree to which the price of a security, commodity, or market rises or falls within a

short-term period. An obvious reason for market volatility is technology. This includes

more timely information dissemination, improved technology to make trades and more

kinds of financial instruments. The faster information is disseminated, the quicker

markets can react to both negative and positive news. Improved trading technology

makes it easier to make it easier to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities, and the

resulting price alignment arbitrage causes. Finally, more kinds of financial instruments

allow investors more opportunity to move their money to more kinds of investments

positions when conditions change.

43

2.5 Methodology

Primary Data

Methods of collecting primary data and the main methods include:

questionnaires

interviews

focus group interviews

observation

Secondary data

Secondary data is data that has already been collected by someone else for a different

purpose to yours. For example, this could mean using:

Data collected by a hotel on its customers through its guest history system

Data supplied by a marketing organisation

Annual company reports

Government statistics.

THE RESEARCH PLANS

The development of research plan has the following steps:-

Data used is primary as well as secondary.

Primary data was collected by personally visiting the Share broking houses.

Secondary data was accessed through Internet, Brochures, and Business Dailies.

Sample size .

Data of 6 selected Share Broking Companies.

45


46/90

RESEARCH APPROACH: Surveys are best suited for descriptive research.

Surveys are undertaken to learn about peoples knowledge, beliefs, preferences,

satisfaction and so on and to measure these magnitudes in the general public. Therefore I

have done this survey for the descriptive research process

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT: Questionnaire was conducted for survey had both

closed-ended and open-ended. A questionnaire considered a set of question was presented

to customers.

SAMPLING PLAN: The sampling plan calls for three decisions:

SAMPLING UNIT: Sampling unit is who is to be surveyed? The target population

must be defined thats to be sampled it is necessary so as o develop sampling frames so

that everyone in the target population has an equal chance of being sampled. My sample

unit was key account outlets owner / business related persons in Delhi.

SAMPLE UNIT SIZE: Sample size is how many people have to be surveyed?

Generally, large samples give more results than the smaller samples. The sample refers to

the number of respondents from the universe. My sample size was total 170 key accountoutlets in Delhi comprising all sale territory in Delhi i.e. south, north, central, west and

east Delhi. 6 outlets were to be covered in a day.

CONTACT METHOD: Once the sampling plan has determined, the question was

how the subject should be contacted, i.e. by telephone, mail or personal interviews. But

the single way to contact the subject was personal interviews.

SAMPLE TECHNIQUE: It is a plan for obtaining the sample.

ANALYSE THE INFORMATION: The next step is to extract the pertinent

findings from the collected data. In this report the collected data is tabulated and

developed frequency distribution. Thus frequencies and percentages were prepared to

render impact of the study.

POA for Clients DMAT

shown as a reflection in client DP account. Charges are levied to move shares from IB

pool Account to client DP account

Paid Research Services

Access to a research even for an IB trading account holder is charged a min of Rs 500 a

month

Margin funding hoax

The interest on funding starts on leveraged delivery trades from T+1 day itself @21%

p.a, on a daily basis

The role of Relationship Manager

Each RM is looked upon as a revenue generator and he gets a % on business generated

from client. This can lead to over leveraged (Interest) & high frequency (Brokerage)

trading, which may not be in the best interest of the client.

Slow website interface with no real-time quotes creates dissatisfaction among high

frequency traders

Margin trading restriction

The margin trading system is available up to 2:45 p.m, with outstanding net positions

under margin segment automatically squared off at any time between 2:45 3:30 p.m.

Thus there is no control of square off price.

Morning Trades Issue

Being one of the websites with largest no of after hour orders which are pushed 1st thing

in the morning, creates a choking of orders to the exchange, causes delay of

confirmations for new order placed during the early morning trades

Restriction of BTST

The sale of shares purchased is restricted to T+1 day and is not permitted on T+2 Day.

SHAREKHAN V/S HDFC SECURITIES


Apart from having no product to cater to Day-Traders, the hdfcsec.com website is

plagued with downtime. The same is currently being revamped.

Lack of focus on Broking

The core business of HDFC is Housing Finance and that of HDFC Bank is banking.

Broking as a business is a small part of the portfolio of financial services and hence the

commitment to resources is limited.

No Leverage

No leverage is available to clients even for Intra-Day trades, effectively all clients are on

cash and carry system.

No flexibility in commercial terms

The delivery brokerage is pegged at 0.5% and trading at 0.15% each side, this makes it

unviable for customers dealing in large volumes.

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

FINDINGS

Sharekhan has a competitive edge over its competitors in Research reports and

Online Live Terminal.

Sharekhan is one of the few brokers providing Software based Online Trading

Account.

Sharekhan still lags behind ICICIdirect as far as no. of customers is concerned

because of patronage enjoyed by the ICICI Bank.

Sharekhan give completely toll free no. unlike ICICIdirect & 5paisa.com.

Sharekhan provides after hour order placement facility.

In Sharekhan, No minimum balance is compulsory but In 5 paisa and Kotak,

Concept of Min Rs 1,000 to be maintained in form of cash / securities to keep

account active. This can be withdrawn only on closure of account.

In Sharekhan, the interest on funding starts on leveraged delivery trades from T+2

day itself @14% p.a, on a daily basis and in Indiabulls its from T+1 itself @ 21%

p.a.

80


81/90

RECOMMENDATIONS

They need to maintain their competitive edge by large scale advertisement

They need to innovate new software in this line.

The customers are expecting frequent and timely correspondence from the

consultancy regarding their funds and monthly market overview.Therefore the

organization needs to give more weightage on this concern.

The organization should focus on developing long term relationships with

customers.

The organization should focus on their service segment as customers are highly

dissatisfied with after sales service.

The organization should have CRM(Customer Relationship Manager) which will

have a greater impact of the company in the minds of the people.

The maximum amount of awareness which has been generated is through

newspapers and tv.So the company should take care of it as it can be one of the

potential media for advertisements.

The organization must also give free SMS facility to their customers as ICICI is

also providing.

81


82/90

Most of the respondents have their own personal, consultant or company

consultants. Sharekahn have to differentiate their services from other consultant

effectively by delivering value added services to their sustomers.

82


83/90

CONCLUSIONS

As most of the respondents who were taken as our sample unit were from middle

class or upper middle slass, they have a decent amount of saving. 21% of respondents

are satisfied with the research report provided by Sharekhan,26.8% respondents are

satisfied with the services provided by Sharekhan , but only 24.4% like the

software/website provided whereas 28.8% respondents like the software/website

provided by ICICI direct.

So it is important for the organization to make its website/software customer friendly

so that the customers may not find any difficulty in operating the website/software.
