COMPANY PROFILE

The Alpine edelweiss, which has given our company its name and signet, is a special symbol of what Edelweiss GmbH & Co. KG has stood for, from its foundation to the present day: for nature and purity, for something special, for health and of course for our home, the beautiful Allgu region.

Edelweiss a symbol of something special

Not really a surprise then that the edelweiss has long been considered something special. Emperors and kings chose the edelweiss as their favourite flower, for example the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef (18641916) and his wife, Empress Elisabeth (18371898). Sissi as she is known to many, 5

even had a portrait painted with edelweiss flowers in her hair. King Ludwig II of Bavaria (1864 1886), the builder of Neuschwanstein Castle, also loved the edelweiss.

Edelweiss, a rare flower found in Switzerland. You will discover in our identity: A graphic flower that represents ideas. Around it, the protective arms of the letter e: We believe ideas create wealth, but values protect it. It is the practice of this core thought that has led to Edelweiss becoming one of the leading financial services company in India. Its current businesses include investment banking, securities broking, and investment management. We provide a wide range of services to corporations, institutional investors and high net-worth individuals. The core inspiring thought of ideas creating wealth and values protecting it is translated into an approach that is led by intrapreneurship and creativity and protected by intellectual rigour, research and analysis.

Pricing and other competitive pressures may impair the revenues and profitability of our brokerage business.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from our brokerage business. Along with other brokerage firms, we have experienced intense price competition in this business in recent years. In particular, the ability to execute trades electronically and through other alternative trading systems has increased the pressure on trading commissions, volume and spreads. We expect this trend toward alternative trading systems to continue. We believe we may experience competitive pressures in these and other areas as some of our competitors seek to obtain market share by competing on the basis of price. In addition, we face pressure from our larger competitors, which may be better able to offer a broader range of complementary products and services to brokerage clients in order to win their trading business. As we continue to maintain our research coverage to support our institutional equities and private client brokerage businesses, we may be required to make substantial investments in our research capabilities. We are unable to ascertain the likely impact of such competitive pressures on our results and operations. If we are unable to compete effectively with our competitors in these areas, brokerage revenues may decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

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 kind of shares are entitled to a fixed dividend or dividend calculated at a fixed rate to be paid regularly before dividend can be paid in respect of equity share.

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.

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.

THE PROJECT BACKGROUND AND METHOLOGY

As per the topic consumer behavior regarding EQUITYsystematic study is done one by one.

Equity:

The Indian Equity Market is more popularly known as the Indian Stock Market. The Indian equity market has become the third biggest after China and Hong Kong in the Asian region. According to the latest report by ADB, it has a market capitalization of nearly $600 billion. As of March 2009, the market capitalization was around $598.3 billion (Rs 30.13 lakh crore) which is one-tenth of the combined valuation of the Asia region. The market was slow since early 2007 and continued till the first quarter of 2009. 24

A stock exchange has been defined by the Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 as an organization, association or body of individuals established for regulating, and controlling of securities. The Indian equity market depends on three factors

Funding into equity from all over the world Corporate houses performance Monsoons

The stock market in India does business with two types of fund namely private equity fund andventure capital fund. It also deals in transactions which are based on the two major indices Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE). The market also includes the debt market which is controlled by wholesale dealers, primary dealers and banks. The equity indexes are allied to countries beyond the border as common calamities affect markets. E.g. Indian and Bangladesh stock markets are affected by monsoons. The equity market is also affected through trade integration policy. The country has advanced both in foreign institutional investment (FII) and trade integration since 1995. This is a very attractive field for making profit for medium and long term investors, short-term swing and position traders and very intra day traders. The Indian market has 22 stock exchanges. The larger companies are enlisted with BSE and NSE. The smaller and medium companies are listed with OTCEI (Over The counter Exchange of India). The functions of the Equity Market in India are supervised by SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India). History of Indian Equity Market The history of the Indian equity market goes back to the 18th century when securities of the East India Company were traded. Till the end of the 19th century, the trading of securities was unorganized and the main trading centers were Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai). Trade activities prospered with an increase in share price in India with Bombay becoming the main source of cotton supply during the American Civil War (1860-61). In 1865, there was drop in share prices. The stockbroker association established the Native Shares and Stock Brokers Association in 1875 to organize their activities. In 1927, the BSE recognized this association, under the Bombay Securities Contracts Control Act, 1925. The Indian Equity Market was not well organized or developed before independence. After independence, new issues were supervised. The timing, floatation costs, pricing, interest rates were strictly controlled by the Controller of Capital Issue (CII). For four and half decades, companies were demoralized and not motivated from going public due to the rigid rules of the Government. In the 1950s, there was uncontrollable speculation and the market was known as 'Satta Bazaar'. 25

Speculators aimed at companies like Tata Steel, Kohinoor Mills, Century Textiles, Bombay Dyeing and National Rayon. The Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 was enacted by the Government of India. Financial institutions and state financial corporation were developed through an established network. In the 60s, the market was bearish due to massive wars and drought. Forward trading transactions and 'Contracts for Clearing' or 'badla' were banned by the Government. With financial institutions such as LIC, GIC, some revival in the markets could be seen. Then in 1964, UTI, the first mutual fund of India was formed. In the 70's, the trading of 'badla' resumed in a different form of 'hand delivery contract'. But the Government of India passed the Dividend Restriction Ordinance on 6th July, 1974. According to the ordinance, the dividend was fixed to 12% of Face Value or 1/3 rd of the profit under Section 369 of The Companies Act, 1956 whichever is lower. This resulted in a drop by 20% in market capitalization at BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) overnight. The stock market was closed for nearly a fortnight. Numerous multinational companies were pulled out of India as they had to dissolve their majority stocks in India ventures for the Indian public under FERA, 1973. The 80's saw a growth in the Indian Equity Market. With liberalized policies of the government, it became lucrative for investors. The market saw an increase of stock exchanges, there was a surge in market capitalization rate and the paid up capital of the listed companies. The 90s was the most crucial in the stock market's history. Indians became aware of 'liberalization' and 'globalization'. In May 1992, the Capital Issues (Control) Act, 1947 was abolished. SEBI which was the Indian Capital Market's regulator was given the power and overlook new trading policies, entry of private sector mutual funds and private sector banks, free prices, new stock exchanges, foreign institutional investors, and market boom and bust. In 1990, there was a major capital market scam where bankers and brokers were involved. With this, many investors left the market. Later there was a securities scam in 1991-92 which revealed the inefficiencies and inadequacies of the Indian financial system and called for reforms in the Indian Equity Market. Two new stock exchanges, NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) established in 1994 and OTCEI (Over the Counter Exchange of India) established in 1992 gave BSE a nationwide competition. In 1995-96, an amendment was made to the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 for introducing options trading. In April 1995, the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) and in November 1996, the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) were set up for demutualised trading, clearing and settlement. Information Technology scrips were the major players in the late 90s with companies like Wipro, Satyam, and Infosys. In the 21st century, there was the Ketan Parekh Scam. From 1st July 2001, 'Badla' was discontinued and there was introduction of rolling settlement in all scrips. In February 2000, 26

permission was given for internet trading and from June, 2000, futures trading started. The Indian financial system is essentially strong, operationally wide and has always exhibited utmost efficiency and flexibility. This has driven the Indian economy towards a more marketdriven and productive one. Finance in India stands so strong that the system has always supported and induced high levels of investment, thereby promoting growth and wide economic coverage.

Equity Market In India

After the securities are issued in the primary market, they are traded in the secondary market by the investors. The stock exchanges along with a host of other intermediaries provide the necessary platform for trading in secondary market and also for clearing and settlement. The securities are traded, cleared and settled within the regulatory framework prescribed by the Exchanges and the SEBI. Till recently, it was mandatory for the companies to list their securities on the regional stock exchange nearest to their registered office, in order to provide an opportunity to investors to invest/trade in the securities of local companies. However, following the withdrawal of this restriction, the companies have an option to choose from any one of the existing stock exchanges in India to list their securities. Due to the earlier regulation requiring companies to get listed first at the regional stock exchange, there are in all 23 exchanges operating today in the country. With the increased application of information technology, the trading platforms of all the stock exchanges are accessible from anywhere in the country through their trading terminals. However, the trading platform of NSE is also accessible through internet and mobile devices. In a geographically widespread country like India, this has significantly expanded the reach of the exchanges to the homes of ordinary investors and assuaged the aspirations of people to have exchanges in their vicinity. As a result of the reforms/initiatives taken by the Government and the Regulators, the market microstructure has been refined and modernized. The investment choices for the investors have also broadened. The securities market moved from T+3 settlement periods to T+2 rolling settlement with effect from April 1, 2003. Further, straight through processing has been made mandatory for all institutional trades executed on the stock exchange....

Sentiments improved on the back of efforts by companies to improve corporate governance. US corporates wrote off more than US$ 250 bn in 2002, the majority of which reflect prior overstatement of earnings. At a global level, defensive sectors such as consumer staples outperformed the indices, whereas technology witnessed the third bad year in a row as hopes of a cyclical recovery were initially raised and then dashed. While the Asian markets declined since the start of the year, they outperformed the U.S. and the European markets. The stronger performance of the Asian markets were driven by strength of domestic economies, increasing significance of intra-Asian trade and continued restructuring. The strongest performing Asian markets have been those with the most robust GDP numbers, for example Korea and ASEAN countries. Asian markets were also characterized by a reduction in volatility and were supported by funds flowing into the region.

ANALYSIS

1. Preference of Investment

Fig.1 Result of Preference of Investment

This shows that although the mutual funds market is on the rise yet, the most favored investment continues to be in the Share Market. So, with a more transparent system, investment in the Stock Market can definitely be increased.

2. Awareness on Online Share Trading

Fig. 2 Result of Awareness of Online Share Trading 41

With the increase in cyber education, the awareness towards onlinee share trading has increased by leaps and bounds. This awareness is expected to increase further with the increase in Internet education.

3. Preference of investing in ULIPS

The study shows that most of the people prefer to invest in stock market because of high risk and high return whereas some other try to capture the short term gain from investment. But a very few section of people invest because of the benefits they gain in tax.

42

4. Awareness of Edelweiss broking LTD as Brand

Fig.3 Result of Awareness of Edelweiss broking LTD. As brand

This pie-chart shows that has a reasonable amount of Brand awareness in terms of a premier Retail stock broking company. This brand image should be further leveraged by the company to increase its market share over its competitors.

5. Awareness of Edelweiss broking Ltd Facilities

Fig .4 Result of Awareness of Edelweiss broking Ltd Facilities

43

Although there is sufficiently high brand equity among the target audience yet, it is to be noted that the customers are not aware of the facilities provided by the company meaning thereby, that, the company should concentrate more towards promotional tools and increase its focus on product awareness rather than brand awareness.

This pie-chart corroborate the fact that Strategic marketing, today, has gone beyond only meeting Sales targets and generating profit volumes. It shows that all the competitors are striving hard not only to woo the customers but also to make them Brand loyal by generating customer satisfaction.

7- Frequency of Trading

Fig 6 Result of Frequency of Trading Inspite of the huge returns that the share market promises, we see that there is still a dearth of active traders and investors. This is because of the non transparent structure of the Indian share market and the skepticism of the target audience that is generated by the volatility of the stock market. It requires efficient bureaucratic intervention on the part of the Government.

8. Percentage of earnings invested in Share Trading

45

Fig 7 Result of percentage of earning invested in share trading

This shows that people invest only upto 10% of their earnings in the stock market, again reiterating the volatile and non-transparent structure of the Indian stock market. Hence, effective and efficient steps should be undertaken to woo the customers to invest more in the lucrative stock market.

ITERPRETATIONS & FINDINGS

The company is new one and subsidiaries of Reliance Capital and separated from it in the last year. The company penetrates its market share in a very fast way. The franchisees of Reliance money is increasing day by day in big cities where people are have ability to invest their money in stock 58

market. But there is a need to concentrate on few places where it can come out from weak points. In India most of people have lot of money but they are not aware of these concept. Therefore there is need to spread the awareness among people through a proper channel. The following factors can help to improve the market share of reliance money. 1. The major factor on which company should concentrate is a proper service provided to the customer. The customer is the king for the company. It is the customer by which the company is progressing. 2. It is providing their ad on TV in proper way but there is a need to improve the ad in print media like Hindi newspaper and some more magazines which is penetrating in the rural area. 3. The company should have the customer data in a proper way and should communicate their customer weekly or fortnightly. 4. The company should take the written feedback about the services provided by the Reliance money franchisees. 5. It should provide the training to the maximum number of management student so that the awareness about the reliance Money products and brand image spread in a fast and in a right way.

CONCLUSIONS
59

It is concluded that Edelweiss is improving their infrastructure and market share in a fast way. The above analysis shows that it is giving competitive to the other brokerage companies. Its brand image is increasing day by day in the mind of common man. The maintenance charges of the Edelweiss ltd. are far far less than the other companies. People are more ready to give initial cost Rs. 500 for employee person and Rs, 750 for the businessman. After that there is not so much charges for the share trading. It is only company which shows the higher growth when market goes down. The service provided to the customer is averaged. This is the only factor where there is a need of improvement of proper service. People know the company but they are less aware of the services provided by the company.
