Branding is one of the most important strategic instruments used in differentiating competitive products.
Strategic communication via advertisement could assist in building a brand for an organization. Brand
awareness that stands at a higher level will be able to influence the purchase decision of a customer and
this has been confirmed by researchers and it has been proven to be true. Brand awareness creates a
great picture in the mind of the customers about a certain product brand and assists in purchasing
decision. However, customers will generally put the brand of the particular product into consideration
while making a purchase decision in-

order to purchase the product. Brand knowledge plays an important role when referred to brand
awareness which consists of whether the customer knows the brand, when and how the customer
associates the brand in regarding with awareness. Brand images means how a customer resembles a
brand. Customers typically decides to undergo a repeat purchase when they are normally satisfied with
the brand and is in the last stage of post purchase behavior of the consumer buying process. Brand
awareness is a primitive level of brand knowledge which involves identification of name of the brand or a
structure which is been developed. In any kind of brand related search brand awareness is the
fundamental and foremost limitation which states it is the ability of a customer to recognize and recall a
brand in different related situations. Therefore, in all together repeat purchase decision and intention
actually takes place within buyer’s when the consumer decides whether to continue with the same
product of the brand or not. Brand awareness is defined as brand knowledge that ranges from simple
recognition of brand name to highly developed cognitive structure based detailed information regarding
any brand. Here recognition of brand is considered as the process of perceiving a brand as encountered
earlier. Therefore, the distinction between the brand awareness and brand recognition is a very subtle
one.

In this study it is found that brand awareness serves as a dominant choice among all the inexperienced
consumers. Comparatively, the known brand may be chosen on first hand occasion because of the belief
that it is the best. When the customer has no prior knowledge or awareness of any brand in their choice
then its less likely to occur the process of repeat purchase which ultimately states that when no known
brand is available in the choice set of customers the perception of quality of others brands doesn't
matters and their buying decision is unaffected as they are more likely to detect true quality differences
between the brand and non-brand product. It is a fact that awareness is measured rather than
manipulated variable that open a possibility of other psychological variables that can be correlated with
awareness and repeat purchase decisions.

AGILE CAPITAL SERVICES comprises of financial products and services. Financial products are, in a
nutshell, contracts that are bought and sold on a marketplace. This is a very general definition as
financial products, also called financial vehicles, are diverse and come in several different forms. The
central concept behind a financial product is that it lets you convert your fiat currency into something
that can be bought and sold with others on a market. When it comes to financial products, there are
several possible ways to classify them. In this article, we will divide financial products into categories
based on the technical features that each product demonstrates. Keep in mind though that there may be
other ways to divide and classify financial products, depending on which features of those products are
relevant for your current interests.
Under this analysis, there are 4 major types of financial products bought and sold on markets:
Securities, Derivatives, Commodities, Currencies.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. Some financial products might not fit neatly into these categories,
but this article serves as a general overview of the main ones you’ll come across.
Securities- A security is a type of instrument that is used to directly finance companies, banks, public
entities, or governments. Essentially, securities represent an entitlement to something, like an asset or a
contract. In that sense, you can kind of think of securities as a type of promise: the holder of a security is
promised something proportional to the number of securities that they hold. Securities can be short-term
or long-term, and the money used to purchase securities are used to directly finance various entities. It
consists of further four subparts: Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds.

Derivatives- A derivative is a type of security whose value is derived from an individual or group of
individual securities. Derivatives represent a contract between the buyer and seller, and the price of
derivatives changes depending on price movements of the underlying asset (known as the benchmark).
Derivatives are commonly used to speculate on market movements or leverage their holdings. Another
way to think of a derivative is that they give an investor the right to buy or sell some security at a specific
price or a specific time. derivatives are usually considered to have high risk in capital markets.
Derivatives are further divided into three subparts: future, options, swaps.

Commodities - A commodity is a type of financial product that represents ownership or a share of some
physical good or raw material. In general, commodities trading involves things like precious metals (gold,
silver, platinum) or natural resources (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) but can also include so-called ‘soft’
commodities which include agricultural products or livestock. Commodities are usually included in
portfolios as a hedge against inflation. Since the exact quantity of a given commodity is (generally) fixed,
there is less risk of inflation, unlike with fiat currency which is in principle unlimited.

Currencies- Currencies are generally not considered a distinct asset class or financial product, but we are
including them here, simply because currencies can be traded on a market. Currencies are traded on
foreign exchanges (or crypto exchanges), and let people convert one type of currency into another.
Currency trading is practically a necessity as different countries and entities from different nations need
to trade with one another. An interesting feature of currency trading is that there is no centralized
marketplace for trading, as there is for securities. That means that the majority of foreign currency
transactions occur between individual investors. Investors can make money on forex markets by trading
currencies as the relative price changes.

Final Thoughts- A financial instrument is a useful concept to have a grasp over. Virtually every aspect of
the economy depends on the assets and contracts that financial products carry. All financial products
hold risks, so it is up to the individual investor to determine the kinds of financial and cash instruments
and products. In the trading industry, it is important to understand these instruments for navigation in
the stock market. When investing and trading your money in the economy, there is always an incentive to
have several sources of income through multiple investments.

"Analysis of financial statements refers to the method of determining the significant operating and
financial characteristics from the accounting data with a view to getting an insight into the

While the analysis implies generalization of the data by logical arrangement of information given
in the financial statement. However, analysis is blind without interpretation, and interpretation
becomes difficult without analysis. Interpretation means elaborating the meaning and significance
of the data so simplified. So analysis and interpretation means attempt to determine the
significance and meaning of the financial statement data so that a judgment may be made of the
prospects for future earnings, ability to pay interest, debt maturities, both current as well as long
term, and profitability of sound dividend policy.

CHAPTER III:
LITERATURE

REVIEW:
There are several studies on brand awareness of financial products that how the brand awareness
of financial products is done in order to establish the product in the market in order to gain high
number of customers. According to Wasib, (2016) brand awareness holds brand recognition and
brand recall performance both. In accordance with, both play an important role in providing
strength for the establishment of the brand equity whose aim is to achieve a strong and resistant
brand image with long term relation that ultimately designates brand resonance. Thus, brand
awareness is defined as how much familiar customers are in terms with brand and its products
i.e., how much aware does the customer is with the product of that particular brand. It is the
measurement of how much measurable and recognizable does the brand is to its target audience.
Idris, (2016) states that brand awareness is the ability of customers to recognize and recall the
brand with-in provided detail in order to make a purchase. Brand recognition is the ultimate
result of brand awareness, the ability to validate earlier relationship to the brand when
remembered as an indication of the brand which is called brand recall. Brand awareness can be
differentiated further into four different parts: Unaware of Brand, Brand recognition, Brand
Recall, Top of Mind. These four different parts of awareness helps to demonstrate the level of
awareness of the brand among the customers. It also defines the ability to remind the brand which
is starting from unaware of a brand then the next related brands are recognized, after that the
final brand is recalled and then it comes to the top of the mind where customer survives the
situation of remembering the exact brand. Brand awareness is spread through brand
advertisement by Aminul, (2016). Advertisement captures the steps and it works as a medium
which accommodates in building a picture and an image of a product or the brand in the
customer’s mind which in future holds a strong position and gathers knowledge specific
knowledge about the brands so that brands can help customers to be aware of it. For brand
awareness it is important that the advertisement is to be successful it must be seen, read, believed,
remembered must be in the mind of the customer in-order to act on. Thus, the logic behind
advertisement of brand is to give the relevant means by which messages are communicated and
the target audience is established who then perform in ultimate ways which benefits the brand.
Serdar, (2015) states that ‘ Brand is an emotional and physiological relationship that the company
holds with customers, strong brands stimulate thoughts, feelings and occasionally physiological
reactions from the customers ‘. A brand is a comfort that guarantees to its customers to provide
the promised benefits mentioned by the brand. Brand awareness can be indicated to as the specific
level of consumer’s familiarity with the brand. Brand awareness defines the measurements of
recognition of the brand by the customers among the other brands. It states that it is the capacity
to recall from their psyche when the product category details are provided. Brand loyalty is the
connection that a customer maintains with brand and its purchase. Brand image is referred to as
the joined impact of brand associating or customers perception of the substantial and non-
substantial affiliation. Analysts have suggested that brand value is to an extent determined by the
brand affiliation composition of the image. Joko, (2021) states that behaviour factors of customers
buying the product of the same brand and making a decision of repeat purchase. Customers
behaviour is the study of individuals, groups, and usage of goods and services in order to meet
their assessing needs and fulfilment of desires. There are several factors that influence the buying
pattern of the consumer such as cultural factors, social factors and personal factors. Cultural
factors are the set of values or considered perceptions that the society learns from the family or
the various sort of institutions. Culture is personally related to one’s values, morals and customs
in our day to day lives. Social factors are affiliated with work, education, place of residence which
in all together are the indicators of social behaviour. People tend to choose their social group
according to their concerns and benefits which ultimately influences the buying pattern of the
customers. Personal factors such as age, occupation, economic conditions, lifestyle etc influences
the consumer behaviour. Lifestyle of human being definitely effects the buying pattern of the
consumers. According to Ritanjali, (2020) social media plays an important role in brand
awareness of financial products as per the evolving life style pattern. The present world is
innovation driven where social media platforms have turned into a road where retailers can reach
a wide range of customers and showcase their efforts to gain more shoppers. s. The incredible
increase of social media has helped organizations to use new ways to interact with clients,
organizations have to find out how social media can be used in a reliable way with their marketing
strategy. There are a variety of platforms that provide scope for wide range of uses and attract
users in different ways. The present study is focused on brand awareness through social media
and what are the factors that motivate users to interact with brands on social media. Social media
plays a significant role in creating brand awareness. Brand awareness can have a positive
significant impact on the purchase intension of the customers. The increasing importance of social
media in developing marketing strategies and the increasing usage of different social media at
different stages of buying by the customers has motivated to undergo the current study. Jing,
(2022) states that consumer psychological perception is mainly reflected in consumer satisfaction,
so the literature review part mainly analyses and synthesizes the literature related to consumer
satisfaction. This exploration focuses on the influencing factors of consumers’ purchase of bank
financial products based on consumers’ psychological perception. It states that three influencing
factors of consumers’ purchase of bank financial products–perceived convenience, risk value of
bank financial products and satisfaction with the communication process have a significant
impact on consumers’ purchase of bank financial products. Therefore, banks can recommend and
reform bank financial products from these three aspects. The risk value of bank financial
products is the main influencing factor for consumers to buy bank financial products, followed by
perceived convenience and satisfaction with the communication process. It states the important
considerations of consumers for purchasing bank financial products, and provides a critical
optimization path for enterprises to promote bank financial products. It is necessary to stimulate
consumers’ interest in bank financial products. Based on consumers’ interest in bank financial
products, banks should optimize the publicity path of bank financial products, and provide
different publicity paths according to different consumer characteristics. Fujiki, (2020) states that
in order to sell financial products and services that are suitable for customers in line with the
Customer-Oriented Business Conduct, financial institutions need to distinguish customers who do
not fully understand the investment risks related to these financial products, the customers who
are unable to make an appropriate decision when purchasing these financial products, and the
rest of the customers. The financial inclusion together with the traditional customer information
such as financial asset holdings, annual income, age, gender, and experience of financial troubles
might help financial institutions distinguish these customers. In particular, customers with a high
value of the financial inclusion are likely to engage in desirable investment behaviour in the sense
that they have a high understanding of investment trusts and foreign currency denominated
deposits and money marketed funds and will purchase them only if they understand the
investment risks related to the financial products. The demographic characteristics of respondents
with a high value of the financial inclusion help to distinguish customers who engage in desirable
investment behaviours, in the sense that they have a high understanding of investment trusts and
foreign currency denominated deposits and money marketed funds, and will purchase them only
if they understand the investment risks related to the financial products. The present study
focuses on the effects of sales promotions and the time to reward receipt on customer preferences
along with the contingent role of a financial product category by Dr. Vikas Gautam, (2012).
Financial products are reasonably different than consumer goods because of their intangible
behaviour. Fixed deposits are chosen as representative of convenience products because they are
one of the simplest forms of financial products that all banks offers and customer trust to buy
them. Furthermore, under the current full-blanket deposit guarantee from the government for all
bank deposit accounts, depositors need not consider the credit risk of the financial institution with
which they are opening a deposit account. Monetary sales promotions more effective for those
financial products that provide utilitarian benefits, whereas nonmonetary promotions are more
effective for those financial products that provide hedonic benefits particularly from a brand
awareness aspect. However, the contingent role of the financial product category has no
significant impact on the relationship between the time to reward receipt and customer
preference. The income of all kinds of financial products cannot meet investors' expectations
gradually. Zhengyan, (2022) states that financial institutions are in urgent need of innovative
design of new financial products to stabilize returns and expand the market. And structured
financial products as a new financial product, relies on its structural model by combining the
basic financial instruments and derivative financial instruments, with its characteristics of both
fixed income securities relatively safe and financial derivatives to hedge risk, the benefits of
asymmetric characteristics, has become popular with investors in our financial market products.
Investors are in urgent need of new financial products to give themselves more possibilities of
asset allocation in the face of the reality that investment returns cannot meet their expectations.
Structured wealth management products are the organic combination of fixed income securities
and financial derivatives. Their yields are presented in the form of floating ranges. For structured
wealth management products, the certainty return is similar to the fixed bond part, while the
"gamble" is the floating return part. Structured wealth management products can be well
compatible and combine the two, giving investors the opportunity to earn floating returns in
addition to guaranteed returns. It is for this reason that structured wealth management products
are popular.
CHAPTER
IV:
RESEARCH
METHODLOG
Y
The term "methodology" is associated with a variety of meanings. In its most common usage, it
refers either to a method, to the field of inquiry studying methods, or to philosophical discussions of
background assumptions involved in these processes. Some researchers distinguish methods from
methodologies by holding that methods are modes of data collection while methodologies are more
general research strategies that determine how to conduct a research project. In this sense,
methodologies include various theoretical commitments about the intended outcomes of the
investigation. Primary research is data which is obtained first-hand. This means that the researcher
conducts the research themselves or commissions the data to be collected on their behalf. Primary
research means going directly to the source, rather than relying on pre-existing data samples. This
type of research is particularly relevant where the data collected needs to be specific to the context.
For example, a company may perform primary market research to discover customer perceptions of
their brand. This could not be collected from any existing data source as it is unique to the business.
Primary research can also help to position a person or company as an authoritative figure in the
field.

The research may then be quoted by other authors, who reference the original researcher as the
source, further increasing their position. However, the researcher retains full control over the data,
as the data owner. You don’t have to be an expert to conduct primary research. It can be done by
people at all levels, from students who require data for their university projects to market
researchers who want to gauge reactions to a new product. Surveys are most frequently conducted
online using paid or free survey tools and offer a convenient and cost-effective solution where a
response is required from a larger population. Questions are pre-written, offering the respondent
little flexibility if their answer doesn’t fit (making functionality such as skip logic essential) and
response rates can be variable. The length of a survey is a delicate balance: if a survey is too long,
participants may get bored and leave the survey incomplete. However, if the survey is short, not
enough data will be collected to form a full picture. Primary research has many advantages, although
it is not the most appropriate type of research for every situation. It is important to consider the
individual requirements before deciding on the most appropriate research method for the situation.
Primary research methods offer a targeted approach to market research. This allows specific issues
to be addressed, keeping the research completely relevant to the objectives and scope of the
project. This means that the research is specific to the individual market, rather than the mass
market. This type of research also allows the marketer to have complete control over the
methodology used, along with the representative sample size and the sample selection process. This
helps to further improve the relevancy of the research to the person or organization. Secondary
research is often outdated and may no longer be accurate for the market the researcher is trying to
target.

Primary research guarantees that the information collected is up-to-date and relevant, enabling
accurate trends to be revealed. Primary research also allows the person or organization to control
ownership of the data. They may choose to release the information to enhance their position as an
authority in the field, or they may choose to keep the data private to avoid giving competitors an
advantage. Surveys are a cost-effective method of sampling a large group of people. They involve a
series of easy to answer questions which are generally multiple choice. This allows quantitative data
to be collected and analyzed by the researcher. The multiple-choice questions can also be
supplemented with open-ended questions to gather more detailed information and allow thematic
analysis to be undertaken. To sum up, primary research is a great option for individuals and
organizations who need original data to meet a specific need or to answer a particular question. It
may be more costly and time-consuming than using secondary data, but in many instances the
benefits outweigh the associated costs.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research is the, careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new
facts in anybranch of knowledge‟. “Research is an art of scientific investigation.
Research design is theblue print for conducting research. It includes the plan
and structure that is undertaken to findthe answers to project design. It specifies
the study design, samples and the sample size.” Methodology is the systematic,
theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study.It comprises the
theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a
branch of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm,
theoretical model,phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques

A methodology does not set out to provide solutions - it is therefore, not the same
as a method. Instead, a methodology offers the theoretical underpinning for
understanding which method, set of methods, or [best practice] can be applied to
a specific case, for example, to calculate a specific result.
It has been defined also as follows:
1. "The analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a
discipline";
2. "The systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a
discipline";
3. "The study or description of methods". The methodology is the general research
strategy thatoutlines the way in which research is to be undertaken and, among
other things, identifies the methods to be used in it. These methods, described in the
methodology, define the means or modes of data collection or, sometimes, how a
specific result is to be calculated.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
Objective of the study was to find out and study the brand awareness of financial products. For
this purpose, a cross-sectional survey design was used. Instrument of data collection was a
questionnaire provided by Higher Education students. Questionnaire was formed according e –
counseling material contents.

Questionnaire comprised of 10 questions encompassing these factors. An online, asynchronous


e- mail survey questionnaire was designed seeking feedback regarding services utilized for
brand awareness of financial products. Responses were recorded on a 04-point Likert scale
ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. For this study, the questionnaire was sent to
students who were using different mobile devices such as computers, iPads, smartphones and
tablets. The questionnaire had to be easily accessible to any respondent who had access to
technology and, most importantly, any type of mobile phone that could receive text messages.
This became an important criterion in the design of the questionnaire. This was tested by sending
links to different types of mobile phones and only thereafter, was the research questionnaire was
designed, based on the noted accessibility success. The satisfaction survey comprised questions
exploring participants‟ levels of satisfaction with critical counseling skills such as
responsiveness, professionalism and understanding of the client’s needs by the counseling staff
member.

The project is a systematic presentation consisting of the enunciated problem,


formulated hypothesis, collected facts of data, analyzed facts and proposed conclusion
in form of recommendation. Methodology does not define specific methods, even
though much attention is given to the nature and kinds of processes to be followed in a
particular procedure or to attainan objective.

Data collection

Primary Data:

Primary data was collected through survey method by distributing questionnaires to


students. The questionnaires were carefully designed by taking into accounts the
parameters of my study.

Sample Size:

A complete interaction and enumeration of all the respondent was not possible so a sample
waschosen that consisted of 50 respondents. The research was taken by necessary steps
to avoid any biased while collecting the data.
Tools of Analysis:
The data collected from primary data sources with the help of questionnaire which is
analyzed and interpreted in the systematic mannerwith the help of statistical tool like 4-
point likert scale.

RESEARCH DESIGN:

A research design is the arrangement of the condition for collecting and analyzed a data in
a manner of that aims to combined relevance to the research proposed with economic
procedure. A research design is the specification of the method and procedure for acquiring
the information needed to structure or to solve problems. It is the overall operation pattern
and framework of the project that stipulates what information is to be collected from which
source and be what procedures. . Research design is the blue print for conducting research.
It includes the plan and structure that is undertaken to find the answers to project design.
It specifies the study design, samples and the sample size

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH:

This kind of research has been the primary objective of development of insights into the
problem. It studies the main area where the problem lies and also tries to evaluate some
appropriate courses of action.

CHAPTER VI:
RESULTS
AND
FINDINGS
 In accordance with hypothesis from the results of data analysis it can be interpreted
that the awareness of financial product of AGILE CAPITAL SERVICES among
consumers are a-bit less regarding the Raipur and Raigarh region of Chhattisgarh as
compared to other areas on the basis of the survey done.
 Hypothesis 1 null hypothesis accepted

 Hyp. 2

 From the survey it can be seen that people are interested in purchasing financial
products. LIC is more trusted brand as compared to all other brands as it’s a valuable
company and its customer base is created through the trust on the brand. AGILE
CAPITAL SERVICES has been launched 5 years ago that is the reason it is going to
take a while for people to purchase their product.

 AGILE CAPITAL SERVICES consist of the new known financial product which is why
its awareness is not vast in the area of Chhattisgarh. Once people are aware of the
financial product of ACS they will start purchasing and using it and they will be satisfied
from their financial product and will be able to improve their wealth management.
CHAPTER VII:
CONCLUSION
Conclusion:

Brand awareness of financial products is important because from awareness strong image of the brand is
created in the customer’s mind which can ultimately increase the sales of the financial products in the
market and increase its brand value. ACS has brand awareness in the specific areas as it has been only 5
years since
the establishment of the company. According to the survey that was under my area Raigarh and Raipur
which
is located in Chhattisgarh has lesser awareness as compared to other areas. In these areas the brand
needs to improve their awareness regarding their financial product.

ACS is a 5years back established company but it has a strong hold of financial product in the market and
area wise it will increase day by day through brand awareness. As people start using their product once
they will
be satisfied and they will go for it and suggest others to buy it.
CHAPTER VIII:
RECOMMENDATIONS
AND
SUGGESTIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

 This study is done with the base of product knowledge and awareness
regarding the financial product that Agile capital services comprises of.
 Brand awareness of the financial product will be improved with time in
certain areas that are lacking behind for e.g.: - Chhattisgarh as it has
been only 5 years since its launch in Indian market.
 Marketing strategies can be improved by conducting surveys and by
spreading more awareness regarding the product in the areas where its
lacking.
