STOCK MARKET
A stock market is a market for the trading of company stock, and derivatives of same; both of these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately. Although common, the term 'the stock market' is a somewhat abstract concept for the mechanism that enables the trading of company stocks. It is also used to describe the totality of all stocks and sometimes other securities, with the exception of bonds, commodities, and derivatives. The term is used especially to apply within one country as, for example, in the phrase "the stock market was up today", or in the term "stock market bubble". Bonds are still traditionally traded in an informal, over-the-counter market known as the bond market. Commodities are traded in commodities markets, and derivatives are traded in a variety of markets (but, like bonds, mostly 'over-the-counter'). The size of the worldwide 'bond market' is estimated at $45 trillion; the size of the 'stock market' is estimated as about half that. The world derivatives market has been estimated at about $300 trillion. It must be noted though that the derivatives market, because it is stated in terms of notional outstanding amounts, can not be directly compared to a stock or fixed income market, which refers to actual value. The stock market is distinct from a stock exchange, which is an entity (a corporation or mutual organization) in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of stocks and securities together. For example, 'the stock market' in the bombay includes the trading of all securities listed on the bse, as well as on the many regional exchanges.The stock market handles different function which are as follows: Where stocks and shares are bought and sold. A general term used to refer to the organized trading of securities through various exchanges and through the over-the-counter market. A "stock exchange" is a specific form of a stock market, a physical location where stocks and bonds are bought and sold, such as the bombay stock exchange, nasdaq or american stock exchange.

The set of institutions that facilitate the exchange of stocks between buyers and sellers. A stock market can be an actual place, but with the growth of electronic transactions a large fraction of stock market transactions are not centrally located in a particular location.

A market in which the shares of corporations are traded.

TRADING
Participants in the stock market range from small individual stock investors to large hedge fund traders, who can be based anywhere. Their orders usually end up with a professional at a stock exchange, who executes the order. Most stocks are traded on exchanges, which are places where buyers and sellers meet and decide on a price. Some exchanges are physical locations where transactions are carried out on a trading floor, by a method known as open outcry. (You've probably seen pictures of a trading floor, in which traders are wildly throwing their arms up, waving, yelling, and signaling to each other.) This type of auction is used in stock exchanges and commodity exchanges where traders may enter "verbal" bids and offers simultaneously. The other type of exchange is a virtual kind, composed of a network of computers where trades are made electronically via traders at computer terminals Actual trades are based on an auction market paradigm where a potential buyer bids a specific price for a stock and a potential seller asks a specific price for the stock. (Buying or selling at market means you will accept any bid or ask price for the stock.) When the bid and ask prices match, a sale takes place on a first come first serve basis if there are multiple bidders or askers at a given price. The purpose of a stock exchange is to facilitate the exchange of securities between buyers and sellers, thus providing a marketplace (virtual or real). Just imagine how difficult it would be to sell shares (and what a disadvantage you would be at with respect to the buyer) if you had to call around trying to locate a buyer, as when selling a house. Really, a stock exchange is nothing more than a super-sophisticated farmers' market providing a meeting place for buyers and sellers.

IMPORTANCE OF STOCK MARKETS Accelerate Economic Growth

Financial markets constitute an important part of the total infrastructure for every society that has passed the stage of largely domestic economies. The financial system performs three main tasks: first, it handles transfer of payments; second, it channels savings to investments with a good return for future consumption; and third, it spreads and reduces (local enterprise) economic risks in relation to the players' targeted returns (but note that systemic risk is not thereby reduced it merely becomes less concentrated and uneven). Moreover, unforeseen risks, or catastrophic risks (such as the complete collapse of the financial system or government institutions), may not be capable of being spread, or insured against. 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 as employment. In this way the financial system contributes to increased prosperity.

SOURCES FOR COMPANIES TO RAISE MONEY

The stock market is one of the most important sources for companies to raise money. Experience has shown that 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. Therefore, central banks tend to keep an Argus eye on the control and behavior of the stock market and, in general, on the smooth operation of financial system functions.. INVESTORS It provides them liquidity, marketability, safety etc. of the investment also it provides ready market to them for the sale & purchase of their securities. BROKERS They receive commission in lieu of their services to investors. TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT It is the time of computers & technology & in stock market this regulates the whole set up. So, this fact wants more & more development day by day. The recognition accorded to a Stock Exchange is normally valid for the period of five years subject to the satisfactory performance of Stock Exchange during this period. However the Stock Exchange of Bombay, Delhi, Madras, and Hyderabad & Bangalore have been granted permanent recognition.

SENSEX - THE BAROMETER OF INDIAN CAPITAL MARKETS

For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in India, 128 years of experience seems to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875 when 318 persons became members of what today is called "The Stock Exchange, Mumbai" by paying a princely amount of Re1. Since then, the country's capital markets have passed through both good and bad periods. The journey in the 20th century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties, there was no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index that subsequently became the barometer of the Indian stock market. SENSEX is not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks representing a sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base year of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media. The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal in the decade gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear runs. The SENSEX captured all these events in the most judicial manner. One can identify the booms and busts of the Indian stock market through SENSEX. BSE - other Indices Apart from BSE SENSEX, which is the most popular stock index in India, BSE uses other stock indices as well: BSE 500 BSEPSU BSEMIDCAP

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE(NSE) INTRODUCTION OF NSE

The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to provide access to investors from all across the country on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other stock exchanges in the country. On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994.

INTRODUCTION OF CAPITAL MARKET CAPITAL MARKET

The capital market (securities markets) is the market for securities, where companies and the government can raise long-term funds. The capital market includes the stock market and the bond market. Financial regulators, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Services Authority in the UK, oversee the markets, to ensure that investors are protected against misselling. The capital markets consist of the primary market, where new issues are distributed to investors, and the secondary market, where existing securities are traded. The capital market can be contrasted with other financial markets such as the money market which deals in short term liquid assets, and derivatives markets which deals in derivative contracts.Both the private and the public sectors provide market makers in the capital markets.Features of capital market are as follows: The market in which corporate equity and longer-term debt securities (those maturing in more than one year) are issued and traded A financial market in which long-term debt obligations and equity securities are bought and sold A market for medium to long-term financial instruments. Financial instruments traded in the capital market include shares, and bonds issued by the Australian Government, State governments, corporate borrowers and financial institutions Capital market is the broad term for the market where investment products such as stocks and bonds are bought and sold. It includes all the people and organizations which support the process. The market where capital funds debts and equity are traded; includes medium and long term securities; distinct of money market which is for short term investments.

TYPES OF CAPITAL MARKET PRIMARY MARKET

The primary market is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is called an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus An Initial public offering (IPO) is the first sale of a corporation's common shares to public investors. The main purpose of an IPO is to raise capital for the corporation. While IPOs are effective at raising capital, they also impose heavy legal compliance and reporting requirements. The term only refers to the first public issuance of a company's shares; any later public issuance of shares is referred to as a Secondary Market Offering. A shareholder selling its existing (not new) shares to public on the Primary Market is an Offer for Sale. SECONDARY MARKET The Secondary Market is the financial market for trading of securities that have already been issued in an initial private or public offering. Alternatively, secondary market can refer to the market for any kind of used goods. The market that exists in a new security just after the new issue, is often referred to as the aftermarket. Once a newly issued stock is listed on a stock exchange, investors and speculators can easily trade on the exchange, as market makers provide bids and offers in the new stock PRODUCTS IN THE SECONDARY MARKETS Following are the main financial products/instruments dealt in the Secondary market which may be divided broadly into Shares and Bonds:

o SHARES: Equity Shares: An equity share, commonly referred to as ordinary share, represents the form of fractional ownership in a business venture. Rights Issue/ Rights Shares: The issue of new securities to existing Shareholders at a ratio to those already held, at a price. For e.g. a2:3 rights issue at Rs. 125, would entitle a shareholder to receive 2shares for every 3 shares held at a price of Rs. 125 per share. Bonus Shares: Shares issued by the companies to their shareholders free of cost based on the number of shares the shareholder owns. Preference shares: Owners of these kinds of shares are entitled to affixed dividend or dividend calculated at a fixed rate to be paid regularly before dividend can be paid in respect of equity share. They also enjoy priority over the equity shareholders in payment of surplus. But in the event of liquidation, their claims rank below the claims of the companys creditors, bondholders/debenture holders. Cumulative Preference Shares: A type of preference shares on which dividend accumulates if remained unpaid. All arrears of preference dividend have to be paid out before paying dividend on equity shares. Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares: A type of preference shares where the dividend payable on the same accumulates, if not paid. After a specified date, these shares will be converted into equity capital of the company. Bond: is a negotiable certificate evidencing indebtedness. It is normally unsecured. A debt security is generally issued by a company, municipality or government agency. A bond investor lends money to the issuer and in exchange, the issuer promises to repay the loan amount on a specified maturity date. The issuer usually pays the bond holder periodic interest payments over the life of the loan. The various types of Bonds are as follows: Zero Coupon Bond: Bond issued at a discount and repaid at a face value. No periodic interest is paid. The difference between the issue price and redemption price represents the return to the holder. The buyer of these bonds receives only one payment, at the maturity of the bond.

Convertible Bond: A bond giving the investor the option to convert the bond into equity at a fixed conversion price. Treasury Bills: Short-term (up to one year) bearer discount security issued by government as a means of financing their cash requirements.

NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE CAPITAL MARKETS

The capital markets have seen momentous changes since 2000. What are the important new aspects of the capital markets that the investor should know and pay attention to? Liquidity: While stock market liquidity is much improved in India today as compared with previous years, it remains important for investors to be aware of the costs of trading and how to avoid them. The word liquidity is used often and misunderstood often. The simplest way to measure liquidity is to look at the difference between buy and sell prices. If a share quotes at 10/11, i.e. that buyers pay Rs.11 while sellers get Rs.10, then it is quite illiquid. These quotes mean that when you buy the shares at Rs.11, you are immediately one rupee poorer, because the sale value of the shares is only Rs.10. This difference of one rupee is called the "bid--ask spread". Good liquidity is now found on the bigger stocks of the country. On NSE, the spread for stocks like Reliance and State Bank is often as small as five or ten paisa (much less than was ever observed in the earlier days, even when badla was available). In general, we say that liquidity is "good" when the spread is less than 0.5% of the price. Such liquidity is good for both long--term investors and traders, but the competition in trading is very heavy in such stocks. When the spread is small, lakhs of traders using NSE terminals around the country are competing to be first in catching news about prospects of companies. This makes profitable trading extremely difficult. Inferior liquidity is present in most stocks of the country. However, these are the stocks where competition in trading is less, with greater opportunities for identifying undervalued or overvalued stocks. In such stocks, both traders and investors are advised to place "limit orders" insisting on a good price. For example, if a stock has quotes of 10/11, then the buyer (who would normally pay 11) should put a limit order at Rs.10.90, and the seller (who would normally get 10) should put a limit order at Rs.10.10. This will take a little more time to execute, and might sometimes fail to execute, but such methods will significantly improve the prices obtained when buying or selling. Traders can also earn profits from doing "market making", e.g. placing limit

orders at 10.10/10.90. This earns a revenue of 80 paisa on each cycle of buying and then selling (or selling and then buying). Depository: The most significant development in the markets of the last two years is the depository (NSDL) which has been started by IDBI, UTI, NSE and SBI. Especially for investors who are not in Bombay, the costs suffered through dealing with registrars, having certificates and dividend checks stolen, courier charges, etc. are enormous. The shares of more than 90 companies are available for trading through the depository, and 5,000 investors have converted Rs.9,000 crore of securities from physical shares into electronic holdings. Every investor in the country should now go to the nearest depository participant and open his account. Derivatives: The most important change expected in the next one year in the capital markets will be the launch of derivatives trading. Futures and options are tools which are used all over the world for both hedging (reducing risk) and trading (taking positions based on forecasts). They have been found to be safe and effective instruments. The risk of equity investment will come down once derivatives are available. This will help the investment culture in the country. Derivatives will also make taking positions on the index possible, which is currently not available. The End of "Free" Speculation: In the earlier days, in India, markets offered methods for "free" trading, where a person could take positions, even very large positions, without any connection to the kind of losses that he could bear.

Many people would still like to go back to the old world, where they could just take positions and not face any constraints in doing so. We have to become very clear that the days of "free" trading are over. Markets which allow free trading will not survive, and wise regulators will not allow such markets to exist. The new way of functioning is twofold: (1) before taking a position, the trader will have to pay up a deposit, which is called "initial margin", and (2) the trader will have to pay up all losses made on an open position on a day to day basis. The initial margin that is currently used on many cash markets in India as of today is actually on the low side, and is likely to rise in the future as the understanding of these problems improves. The upcoming derivatives markets will also require payment of initial margin. This discipline is used on all well--functioning markets in the world. It ensures that payments crises do not develop on the market. It reduces the potential for market manipulation. Without this discipline, the smooth functioning despite massive volumes of a market like NSE would not be possible. Trading in Corporate Bonds: Many people buy corporate bonds to hold till maturity. One new feature in the country is the increasing interest in trading corporate bonds. When interest rates go up, bond prices go down. When bad news appears for a company, which increases the risk of failure in servicing the bond, bond prices go down. Traders work on forecasting interest rates and on watching the level of distress of a company and trade in corporate bonds. Some bonds, like the TISCO SPN are already highly active in secondary market trading. Index Funds: Investors in mutual funds have generally noticed that mutual funds do badly. Most mutual funds, in all countries, deliver inferior returns to the market index after their risk is taken into account. This approach has several benefits. The fund manager does not waste money on doing research. He does not waste money on trying to trade actively. The investor is not worried about the kinds

of stocks that the manager is putting into the portfolio, about the kind of brokerage firms which the fund manager is using, etc. The investor buys the index fund in full confidence that his interests are protected. The investor has a simple way to check whether the fund manager is doing a good job: he has to simply compare the returns on the index fund against the returns on the index. If the scheme is not performing as well as the index, the investor should move his money to another index fund. This kind of day to day monitoring of the fund manager is not possible with mutual fund schemes which are not index funds, where the investor has no way to get day to day feedback on what the manager is doing with his money. For these reasons, all over the world, investors have found index funds to be very valuable to them. In countries like the US, a full 40% of the total investment in mutual funds is now in index funds! Several companies, including IDBI Mutual Fund, have plans to launch index funds aimed at domestic investors. This is likely to be a very important new avenue for investment for investors.

INTRODUCTION OF EQUITY CAPITAL EQUITY CAPITAL

Essentially, equity capital is money that is invested into a company in exchange for an ownership interest in that company. Traditionally, equity capitalunlike debtis not intended to be repaid according to a specific schedule and is not secured (or guaranteed) by the company's assets. Instead, an equity investor (i.e., the individual or entity that supplies the company with the money) expects that, within a certain time frame, the ownership percentage she holds will be worth more than the original amount she invested. You may be more familiar than you think with the concept of equity capital. Millions of people are public equity investors because they own shares in large corporations such as Microsoft and Wal-Mart, companies whose ownership interests are priced and traded publicly. In Equity Capital Market Landscape, however, when we say equity capital, we are referring to private equity capital, which represents money that is invested in private companies, or those that are not listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ exchanges. The equity market is that in which shares are issued and traded, either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the stock market, it is one of the most vital areas of a market economy because it gives companies access to capital and investors a slice of ownership in a company with the potential to realize gains based on its future performance.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The month of April witnessed the Sensex scaling to a new lifetime high. The optimism that had started building up towards the end of last fiscal got intensified as institutions and domestic mutual funds went on a buying spree in the beginning of the new fiscal. The rally strengthened fueled by the strong fourth quarter results, healthy earnings growth guidance by technology bellwether Infosys and better than expected performance by Index heavyweight Reliance Industries. The market sentiment was lifted further when the global rating agency S&P raised its outlook on India's sovereign credit rating from stable to positive, citing better prospects of the country handling its debt burden. On the economy front the market cheered the decision of RBI to keep the short-term interest rates unchanged. However the markets took a breather during the middle of the month amidst concerns over increase in interest rates by the US Fed, fall in stock prices of other Asian markets and rise in crude oil prices. The markets witnessed extreme volatility during the last trading week after the news trickled in that SEBI had kept in abeyance its interim order, barring some market intermediaries from trading. The BSE Sensex ended the month at 12,043 thereby registering a gain of 6.76% whereas the Nifty closed with a gain of 4.56% at 3,558 and CNX Midcap closed with a gain of 7.39% at 514 Non-ferrous metal stocks (Hindalco, Sterlite Ind, Hindustan Zinc) firmed up tracking firm global prices of aluminium, copper and zinc on the London Metal Exchange. Domestic aluminium and zinc makers like Nalco, Hindalco and Hindustan Zinc raised the aluminium and zinc prices by more than 6% during the month. Concerns over the supply of non-ferrous metals combined with a strong demand-pull from consumer industries are expected to keep the metal prices flying high. Steel bellwethers Tata Steel and SAIL have hiked the steel prices by over Rs 2,000 per tonne during the month. The BSE Metal Index gained 21.33% in April with companies like Hindustan Zinc, Sterlite, Tisco and Hindalco gaining the most.

The BSE Auto Index shot up by 4.25% over the month. In the two-wheeler segment, Bajaj Auto opened the financial year with a 37% jump in motorcycle sales in April to 188,518 units, whereas truck major Tata Motors reported a 51% increase in total vehicle sales during April 2006. The company sold 19,182 commercial vehicles in April, up 129% from the 8,368 vehicles sold during the previous corresponding period.

The engineering stocks firmed up on the back of strong results. The sector is benefiting from infrastructure spending by the government, rising capex cycle and increased outsourcing. The order books of BHEL and ABB are surging on account of reforms in power and distribution sector while L&T is benefiting from roads and oil and gas sector.

EVOLUTION OF THE INDIAN EQUITY CAPITAL MARKETS A SUCCESSFUL PRECEDENT

Market-oriented economic reforms in India began at the beginning of the 1990s. The removal of many administrative controls on bank credit and the primary market for securities (mostly equities) since then have resulted in the equity capital markets playing a much more significant role in shaping resource allocation in India. Till 1994, equity trading in India was dominated by floor-trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The ills of floor-trading were abundant and included zero transparency and extremely limited liquidity. These resulted in artificial pricing of securities, leaving investors with high exposure to risk. Membership to the BSE was closed and corporate entities and foreign brokerage firms were barred entry, resulting in high brokerage fees for investors. Further, the primitive state of telecommunications, coupled with the floor-trading system, resulted in a limited investor base, all concentrated in the Bombay area. This lack of market access exacerbated the illiquidity. The setting up of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) in 1996 to perform the function of a futures clearing corporation was another key development for the Indian capital markets. NSCC performs novation, i.e. NSCC acts as the legal counterparty to the net settlement obligations of brokerage firms. This erases any externalities relating to the possibility of defaults, as the two parties in the transaction, the seller and the buyer, are not affected by the default risk related to the other. Overall, the NSCC has provided a muchneeded measure of reliability to the operations of the market process, thus giving potential investors, domestic and foreign, a greater sense of confidence. A number of other policy and institutional changes have led the creation of a fairly efficient and robust equity capital market in India, though clearly, there is a long way to go before it transforms and evolves into a market that is not only global in reach and access, but also in standardization and efficiency. Some of these other key developments in the recent past have been: X The start of equity index futures trading in 2000 X The start of equity index options trading in 2001 X The start of the stock options market in 2001

EQUITY CAPITAL MARKET FUNDAMENTALS

Why do they say cash is king? The ability to secure the cashor capitalneeded to launch and grow a venture is critical to its survival, and while the launch of a new venture is one of the most challenging endeavors a business professional can undertake, the financing of a new venture can be even harder. In fact, entrepreneurs say that securing capital for a business in its early stages is one the most difficult challenges in getting a business up and running. However, with a solid business plan and the right expertise about the financing process, securing capital may not have to be quite so tough. Fortunately, there are a number of ways in which to fund the launch and growth of a business. In addition to the most basic approach to funding a businessrevenue, an entrepreneur may elect to secure capital from a variety of sources such as personal resources, other founders and managers, friends and families, strategic partnerships, debt financing, and equity capital. In Equity Capital Market Fundamentals, you can first determine what source of capital is best for your business. If you determine that equity capital is the most appropriate option, you can benefit from the virtual boot camp that we've created on how to navigate the equity capital markets, including information on what equity capital is and how to access it. In addition, Springboard is proud to feature the National Venture Capital Association as a valued partner in keeping our entrepreneurs informed about the venture capital market conditions across the nation and throughout major industries Equity Capital Markets Equity capital is raised in many ways the major types of equity capital are unlisted equity, listed equity and hybrids. Equity capital market practices traditionally advise in a full range of equity, debt equity-linked, hybrid, asset-backed, credit-linked and derivative products that are offered in capital markets Equity can be a source of assets, either through contributed capital (the contribution of capital resources, i.e., assets from the owners) or retained earnings (when the business increases assets through earning activities). These retained earnings can then be distributed to the owners (through equity draws or dividends depending on the corporate structure) or kept in the business.

IMPORTANCE OF EQUITY MARKET

Equity markets remained largely public for quite long. Public equity has a long history dating back to about 200 years. The first publicly issued security can be tracked back to the 14thCentury in Venice. In 1693, King William of England raised one million pounds from the public at a fixed interest rate of 10 percent. A year later, the Bank of England was formed. The largest company at that time to get listed was the South Seas Company, which was listed in 1711. The company also set what is termed as the first stock market crash. It was about 60 years ago the first steps in promoting private equity emerged which made rapid progress that intensified in the 1990s. The decade of 1990s has been spectacular for the equity markets. Stock Exchanges were the major platforms through which corporates were raising sizeable portion of their financial requirements. Stock exchanges during the period 1995-2000 together enabled corporates to raise about US$ 4 trillion of capital through public offerings. Total public equity outstanding in the United States has grown from US$1.5 trillion in 1980 to US$17 trillion in 1999 registering more than a 12-fold increase. Equalization became the hallmark of international finance in the last two decades, during which period, world market capitalization and trading turnover more than doubled as percent of the gross domestic product and exceeded it substantially in several mature and emerging economies. For instance, according to the World Federation of Exchanges, stock exchanges world over reported a market capitalization of US$45 trillion, a trading volume of US$41 trillion, listings of about 40,000 companies and mobilized capital to the tune of US$4 trillion during the period 1995 and 2002. With growing international evidence of equity market liberalization leading to a rise in real economic growth and aided by strong policy support, equity markets showed spectacular growth in the decade of the 1990s with world market capitalization growing by 141 percent and trading volumes by 450 percent. In a quick span of time market capitalization has exceeded the size of the gross domestic product in several countries including the emerging economies.

Revival of the primary markets and resurgence of new issuance forms crucial aspects that govern the significance of the securities markets in the immediate future. It should also form a major agenda of the strategies and solutions that could be evolved for ensuring sustainable growthofthe securities markets worldwide. How do you know if equity capital is for your business? Public equity capital is only for large proven companies, often with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues and profits. The opportunities for companies to secure public equity capital for the first time, or to go public in an IPO, are extremely limited. Private equity capital, on the other hand, can be appropriate for fast-growing, young companies. Check out Springboard's Equity Assessment Tool to see if equity capital is appropriate for your company. Also, please note that for those fast-growing, young companies that have (1) limited capital needs and (2) stable cash flow or a substantial tangible asset base, debt financing may be a better financing alternative. Why should one invest in equities in particular? When you buy a share of a company you become a shareholder in that company. Shares are also known as Equities. Equities have the potential to increase in value over time. It also provides your portfolio with the growth necessary to reach your long term investment goals. Research studies have proved that the equities have outperformed most other forms of investments in the long term. This may be illustrated with the help of following examples: a) b) Over a 15 year period between 1990 to 2005, Nifty has given annualized return of 17%. Mr. Raju invests in Nifty on January 1, 2000 (index value 1592.90).The Nifty value as of end December 2005 was 2836.55. Holding this investment over this period Jan 2000 to Dec 2005 he gets a return of78.07%. Investment in shares of ONGC Ltd for the same period gave a return of 465.86%, SBI 301.17% and Reliance 281.42%.Therefore,

Equities are considered the most challenging and the rewarding, when compared to other investment options. Research studies have proved that investments in some shares with longer tenure of investment have yielded far superior returns than any other investment. However, this does not mean all equity investments would guarantee similar high returns. Equities are high risk investments. One needs to study them carefully before investing.

What has been the average return on equities in india? Since 1990 till date, Indian stock market has returned about 17% to investors on an average in terms of increase in share prices or capital appreciation annually. Besides that on average stocks have paid 1.5%dividend annually. Dividend is a percentage of the face value of a share that company returns to its shareholders from its annual profits. Compared to most other forms of investments, investing in equity shares offers the highest rate of return, if invested over a longer duration. Which are the factors that influence the price of a stock? Broadly there are two factors: (1) stock specific and (2) market specific. The stock-specific factor is related to peoples expectations about the company, its future earnings capacity, financial health and management, level of technology and marketing skills. The market specific factor is influenced by the investors sentiment towards the stock market as a whole. This factor depends on the environment rather than the performance of any particular company. Events favorable to an economy, political or regulatory environment like high economic growth, friendly budget, stable government etc. can fuel euphoria in the investors, resulting in a boom in the market. On the other hand, unfavorable events like war, economic crisis, communal riots, minority government etc. depress the market irrespective of certain companies performing well. However, the effect of market-specific factor is generally shortterm. Despite ups and downs, price of a stock in the long run gets stabilized based on the stock

specificfactors. Therefore, a prudent advice to all investors is to analyse and invest and not speculate in shares. How can one acquire equity shares? You may subscribe to issues made by corporates in the primary market. In the primary market, resources are mobilized by the corporates through fresh public issues (IPOs) or through private placements. Alternately, you may purchase shares from the secondary market. To buy and sell securities you should approach a SEBI registered trading member (broker) of a recognized stock exchange.

THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDIAN EQUITY CAPITAL MARKETS

A precedent for successful implementation of policies and infrastructure for financial sector development in India has been set during the 1990s in the process of creating a viable and competitive equity capital market. Prior to these reforms, the equity markets suffered from many of the ills that the debt markets suffer from today. This targeted and focused prioritization on the part of policy makers led to a welcome and rapid turnaround in the equity capital markets. 3 We must take heart from this success and apply the same level of commitment so that the success can be replicated in the context of the debt markets.

INDIA SCENARIO
Equity markets in India used to be forward markets. Maturity of the contracts used to be 14 days (pre-1995) and 5 days (1995 to2001). From July 2001, there is - Equity which is a spot market with rolling T + 2 settlement. -Equity derivatives. NSE ranks 3rd in the world in terms of the number of trades in the equity Market - Traded volume during FY06 exceeded $350 bn with average daily volume of $1.4 bn NSE ranks no.1 globally in terms of number of contracts traded in equity stock futures and ranked 3rd for equity index futures.

Domestic equity raised in last three years at Rs630 bn is twice the amount raised during the preceding decade Rs364 bn Problem of vanishing companies witnessed in mid nineties now well taken care of with strict disclosure norms and regulatory supervision - Average issue size in FY06 is Rs2321 mn compared with Rs69 mn a decade ago

GROWTH OF INDIAN EQUITY MARKETS

Speculation and Hedging on the Equity Market . The stock market offers a most elegant example of the distinction between speculation and hedging, and the appropriate role for each. Today, in India, we see numerous ``speculators'' on the equity (cash) market. Enormous speculative trading volumes are observed on NSE and BSE. We see individuals who are ``buy ITC'' or ``sell Infosys''. It is useful to go closer to these positions and link them up with the underlying rationale. There are exactly two cases. 1. Many times, positions on stocks like ITC or Reliance are undertaken while treating the stock as an index proxy. A person is bullish about the ``broad market movement'' and adopts a position in a few highly liquid stocks so as to profit from it. In this case, the person is actually an index speculator. His positions of a few stocks are inefficient proxies for the index. Now that index futures are available, his speculation would be more efficiently implemented using the index futures market. The ``buy Nifty'' position is a more efficient bet on the index than a ``buy ITC'' position. 2. Alternatively, there are people who are truly stock speculators. A person may truly be pessimistic about Infosys, because he has thought about the valuation of Infosys and

thinks that the market price is presently too high. In this case, this ``sell Infosys'' position is an inefficient implementation of his view. This is because Infosys could additionally fluctuate because of broad market movements. The analysis of Infosys could be right, but the position could yield losses because Nifty rises! The position ``sell Infosys'' combines speculation on Infosys with gambling on Nifty. Until today, stockpickers in India could not escape the Nifty exposure when they worked on valuing stocks. In the absence of an index futures market, every stockpicker in India was forced to be an index gambler. There is a superior alternative that's now available -- the position ``sell Infosys'' coupled with ``buy Nifty''. The buy position on the futures market strips out the index exposure that is latent in the stock position. The position ``sell Infosys + buy Nifty'' is a case of hedging in speculation -- the speculator has a core competence in Infosys and has hedged away the extraneous Nifty exposure. The resulting position is less risky, which benefits the speculator and makes the overall marketplace safer. In this sense, every speculative position on the equity cash market can now be done more efficiently using the index futures market. Index speculators can now directly implement views on the index, without using inefficient proxies. Stock speculators can hedge away their latent index exposure, and hence avoid gambling on the index when they speculate on a stock. In doing so, they obtain less risky positions which are focussed on their core competences. Online trading, the clearing corporation, and the depository have had a tremendous impact upon the Indian equity market. Yet, their impact has only been upon convenience in trading. Today, trading technology is enormously advanced, but the ideas that underlie trading are as primitive as they were in 1992. Index futures transform the very paradigm of trading. Once a stockpicker gets used to a ``buy BSES + sell Nifty'' lifestyle, he will look back with amazement at the Jurassic markets that existed prior to June 2000, which forced him to buy Nifty every time he wanted to buy BSES.

COMPARISON OF EQUITY INVESTMENT VS. RISKLESS INVESTMENT

Why buy equity? Many individuals who have lost money on the share market in the period after late 1994 have decided to avoid equity investment. Is that justified? If equity investment is useful, how should retail investors harness the gains with minimum pain? We should first distinguish speculation from investment. Speculators make bets on the securities which they think will yield good returns. Speculators can earn spectacular profits, if the forecasts are correct. The reality, however, is that forecasting stock prices is extremely difficult. In a world where lakhs of intelligent people continually scan financial markets looking to profit from mispriced securities, speculative profits are extremely hard to obtain. At the same time, whether speculators earn profits or not, they suffer the steady bleed of transactions costs. Hence speculative trading is rarely useful for retail investors. We will, instead, focus upon the investment objective. This does not require active trading. Many individuals who have suffered losses in speculation have concluded that investment in shares is inadvisable. This conclusion is incorrect. Economic research has revealed the benefits of investing in shares as clearly as it has revealed the difficulties of obtaining speculative profits. What alternatives does an investor face? Instead of buying shares, investors can always place their money in a bank or in bonds. These instruments offer near--assured returns: their rate of return does not fluctuate much from month to month. In contrast, the value of every equity portfolio fluctuates in synchrony with the market index from month to month. Investing in the equity market imposes pain upon investors owing to month--to--month fluctuations in the index. These fluctuations are the risk of equity investments. They have to be matched by higher returns in the equity market, on average. If there was an economy in which banks gave the same average returns as shares, there would be a stampede of investors selling off their shares and moving their money into bank accounts! In the process, share prices would fall, and at the lower prices, shares would once again be attractive, offering higher prospective returns. The key is to focus on average returns, over long time--periods, on well diversified equity portfolios. Bets made on individual stocks are extremely risky, and there is no reward for bearing

such risks. However, when we consider equity as a class, every economy in the world yields higher average returns on shares than on fixed return investments. The excess surplus returns that shares yield, as compared with riskless alternatives, is called the equity premium. In every economy in the world, over every long time--period studied, there is a strong equity premium. Jeremy Siegel has written a marvellous book on these issues, titled Stocks for the Long Run (Irwin, 1994). The equity premium is the reward for investors who are willing to endure the day to day fluctuations of stock prices. There are year to year fluctuations in the stock market, but the average returns on stocks over long time periods turn out to be much higher than fixed return alternatives. Inflation Riskless real rate of return Riskless nominal rate of return Equity premium Nominal return on market index Average time to doubling At riskless around 4% 6% 10% 8-10 percent points 18-20% 7 years

This table makes guesses about rates of return in the future in India. These are different from our historical experience in a high inflation environment. We assume that inflation in India will be around 4%, and the riskless rate of return will be 10% (i.e. 6% in real terms). This gives us fixed return investments which double each 7 years. The equity premium in India lies between 8 and 10 percentage points (similar values are observed in many other countries). This gives a prospective long--run average rate of return on stocks between 18% and 20%, assuming reinvestment of dividends. These scenarios feature equity investments doubling each 4 years or so (on average).

Public Equity Public equity is an asset class where individuals and/or organizations can buy ownership in shares/stock of a company through a public market such as the Bombay Stock Exchange. Public equities are also used in the insurance funds, permanent funds, prepaid college tuition, and other state trust funds. Key Drivers of Public Equity Markets Growth of public equity markets was fuelled by major factors, which include; Greater thrust on development of local securities markets in the overall financial policy of the economies and in pursuing the agenda of economic reforms Better performance of equity markets in respect of returns on investments. Rapid economic growth in the 1990s that resulted in a large number of corporates accessing equity markets for financial resources. Equity markets emerged as an important alternative to investors to expand and diversify Risk and rewards. Liberalization and deregulation of financial markets provided greater access to cross border Financial flows that expanded the scope of the equity markets and enhanced their reach. Large-scale privatization programmes/and allowing state owned companies to access equity markets for part of their resource mobilization programme in a large number of mature and emerging economies that led to sizeable spurt in the equity market activity. Rapid transformation in the operations of the stock exchanges with greater thrust on disclosure and transparency. Introduction of efficient processes such as book building that substantially reduces the costs. Rapid progress in on-line trading and electronic trading platforms, which made trading in securities instant and more transparent. Securities settlements which shrank from anywhere up to 15 to 2 days at present (T+2) Greater focus on better monitoring and surveillance to avoid deviances in the market practices.

Primary market issuance emerging as an important avenue for investment banks. For instance, investment bank in the US earned anywhere up to $75 billion only from underwriting alone in a good year (2000)

Public Equity Capital Public equity markets are those where corporates raise resources through IPOs by getting listed in the stock exchanges. Public equity markets are subjected to a wide range of governance, disclosure, transparency and compliance norms set by the securities exchanges commissions/government agencies and also the self-regulatory functions set by the exchanges themselves. Institutional and retail investors mostly use this channel. The distinct advantages of the public equity capital are: a. Lower cost of capital for the firm b. Provide liquidity for current stockholders c. Shift monitoring costs for private lenders d. Firm can learn from information contained in the stock price movements. However, public equity capital has some costs too. These include a. Disclosure of proprietary information b. Agency costs of outside equity c. Costs of reporting/filing with regulators/exchanges d. Costs of corporate control e. Under pricing A few features generally observed in the respect of the IPO markets include: Typically, IPO prices are below the level that they reach on the market few days or week later when more public information is available (under pricing). However the extent of under pricing will narrow with several companies coming up for listing. Each IPO generates beneficial information externalities for other companies that are about to go public.

Privatized companies tend to list in public equity markets that offering better legal protection of shareholders. The decisions to go public are affected by firms ownership structure. When company has only one owner or when banks holds majority shares, companies are less likely to prefer public equity.

Deregulation of the cross border financial flows that particularly intensified the pace of portfolio and foreign direct investment flows have greatly encouraged the growth of the public equity capital markets worldwide. Aided by technology, design and distribution of innovative products and services, real time data generation and dissemination enabled rapid growth of stock exchanges. The very forces of deregulation and globalization that enabled the public equity capital markets to grow at astounding rates have also unleashed intense competition that generated alternatives that now pose a great challenge to their future.

RECENT PERFORMANCE
The performance of the public equity capital markets has been adversely affected in the recent Period due to a host of factors, which include; General decline in the secondary market activity and equity prices owing to cyclical downturn A spate of investigations into the conduct of investment banks and corporates on the processes Involved in the IPO management and share allocations. A large number of firms that emerged in telecom and technology sectors were not able to fit Into the framework of conventional IPO guidelines that induced them to look at alternative Financial markets. Private equity, venture funds etc., emerged as the most effective financing Mechanisms that eroded the scope of the public equity capital markets in the new generation Products and services. Stringent listing norms and regulatory compliance that made listing in the public equity Capital markets costly and cumbersome. Recent developments such as enforcement of Sarbanes Oxley Act that puts greater onus on the company directors responsible for the corporate Conduct made the public equity markets more vulnerable. Private Equity Private Equity is the ownership of shares or other equity in the companies that do not trade publicly on stock exchange. Usually private equity is more evident in companies with intangible assets, expecting negative earnings for a period. Private equity markets are more suitable for large institutional investors having holding power lasting longer durations to maximize their investment returns. Private equity houses specializes in transactions in which they have particular expertise or the sectors, which they are well aware of. Private equity houses work closely with banks and mezzanine houses since most of the larger private equity transactions involve more of debt than equity. When equity capital is made available to companies or investors, but not quoted on a stock market. The funds raised through private equity can be used to develop new products and

technologies, to expand working capital, to make acquisitions, or to strengthen a company's balance sheet. The average individual investor will not have access to private equity because it requires a very large investment. Public equity is an asset class where individuals and/or organizations can buy ownership in shares/stock of a company through a public market such as the Bombay Stock Exchange. Private Equity Private equities are equity securities of companies that have not gone public (in other words, companies that have not listed their stock on a public exchange). Private equities are generally illiquid and thought of as a long-term investment. As they are not listed on an exchange, any investor wishing to sell securities in private companies must find a buyer in the absence of a marketplace. In addition, there are many transfer restrictions on private securities. ... This refers to the holding of stock in unlisted companies companies that are not quoted on a stock exchange. It includes forms of venture capital and MBO financing. Equity securities of unlisted companies. Private equities are generally illiquid and thought of as a long-term investment. Private equity investments are not subject to the same high level of government regulation as stock offerings to the general public. Private equity is also far less liquid than publicly traded stock. When equity capital is invested into a private company Participation in a company not listed on the stock exchange

TYPES OF INVESTMENTS

There are basically three types of private equity investments: VENTURE CAPITAL principally in early-stage companies that are still developing their products or services, yet have the prospect of generating revenue in a few years; and later-stage firms generating revenue with the expectation of profits within a year or two. BUYOUT AND ACQUISITION FINANCING usually accompanied by a new business plan, and occasionally with new management, to improve a company's financial performance. EXPANSION OR MERCHANT BANKING CAPITAL to established companies looking to enter new markets or achieve a larger scale of operations. Why does any company seek private equity capital? Private equity is often the only option for a start-up company with high growth potential. For example, TechForCash, a start-up software company, anticipates product development expenditures of $1 million during the two years of its life. In its third year, fourth, and fifth years, it expects to make $1 million, $2 million, and $4 million, respectively. Despite this remarkable growth potential, TechForCash would probably not be able to get a loan to finance its launch. However, if TechForCash has a strong business plan, an impressive management team, a pilot product, and a couple of clients, a private equity investor may be willing give the company $1 million in development capital, in exchange for, say, 25% ownership in the company. What are the sources of private equity capital? There are many types of private equity investors, including angels, venture capital firms, leveraged buyout firms, and large companies, all of which are described below. Most private equity investors, regardless of type, tend to be somewhat specialized based on factors such as investment size, company stage, industry, and region

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE EQUITY

The sudden surge in the private equity raised concerns on the scope and prospects of the public equity capital markets. Though both these segments have shown immense contraction in the last two years, stock exchanges are increasingly concerned about the steep decline in the new issuance in the public capital markets.The main differences are as follows: Share issue privatization (SIP), sale of shares in public capital markets, are more likely In less developed capital market, to help develop the markets and for larger and more Profitable state owned enterprises. SIP would be more expensive in countries with greater income inequality since Governments would have to under price share offerings. Less developed capital Markets find it more costly to use SIP due to under pricing. SIPs are more expensive for smaller firms where information costs are higher Privatizing through SIP creates incentive for current regime to support market oriented Economic policies and offers disincentives for subsequent governments to reverse the Privatization process. Asset sales, sales to small group of investors through private capital markets are more Likely to occur where governments respect property rights, and are thus not expected To expropriate the privatized assets i.e. renationalize later. If this threat looms, then Asset sale process will be a non-starter. Companies with brightest futures should be divested by SIP while ones with more questionable ones should be privatized by asset sales.

TODAYS PRIVATE EQUITY IS PUBLIC EQUITY TOMORROW

A company with private equity today may be the company, which might want to get listed tomorrow in the public equity markets. The ultimate option of any firm financed with private equity is to realize the gains of its investment through public equity. Stock Exchanges may consider suitable mechanisms that will enable them to recover a part of the gains that would have accrued to them, if the company would have accessed public equity markets in the beginning. It could be something like a conversion tax that would be only applicable to the companies with private equity markets entering the public equity market.

In other words it is the process of obtaining information about an entire population by examining only a part of it. The process of sampling is used for various reasons Sampling saves time and money. It is usually less expensive and produces results at faster speed. It provides more accurate information. It enables to estimate the sampling errors and thus assists in obtaining information concerning characteristics of population. It also enables greater speed of collection of data. The ultimate test of sample design is how well it represents the characteristics of the population it purports to represent. In measurement terms the sample must be valid which depends upon Accuracy It is the degree to which biasness is absent from the sample.
