Introduction
Rationale for study
Investment is a commitment of a person’s funds to derive future income in the form of
interest, dividend, premium, pension benefits or appreciations in the value of their
capital purchasing for share, debenture, post office savings certificates, insurance
policies are all investment are all investments in the financial sense. Such investment
generates financial assets.
In the economic sense, investment means the need additions to the economies capital
stock which consists of goods and services that are used in the production of other
goods and services. Investment in the sense implies the formation of new and
productive capital in the form of constructions, plant and machinery, inventories, etc.
such investments generate physical assets.
The two types of investments are, however, related and dependent. The money
invested in the financial investments are ultimately converted into physical assets. Thus
all investments are ultimately converted into physical assets. Thus, all investments
results in the acquisition of some assets either financial or physical.

Industry Profile
Introduction
The income that a person receives may be used for purchasing goods and services that
he currently requires or it may be saved for purchasing goods and services that he may
require in the future. In other words, income can be what is spent for current
consumption abstains from present consumption abstains from present consumption for
a future use. The persons saving part of their income try to find a temporary repository
for their savings until they are required to finance their future expenditure. This results in
investment.
Meaning of Investment
Investment is an activity that is engaged in by people who have saving, i.e. investments
are made of savings, or in other words, people invest their savings. But all savers are
not investors. Investment is an activity which is different from savings. Let us see what
is meant by investment.
It may mean things to many persons. If one person has advance money to another, he
may consider his loan as an investment. He expects to get back the money, along with
interest at future date. Another person may have purchase 1 kilogram of gold for the
purpose of price appreciation and may consider it as an investment. Yet another person

may purchase an insurance plan for the various benefits it promises in future. That is his
investment.
In all these cases it can be seen that investment involves employment of funds with the
aim of achieving additional income or growth in values. The essential quality of an
investment is that it involves waiting for a reward. Investment involves the commitment
of resources which has been saved in the hopes that some benefits will accrue in the
future.
Thus, investment may be defined as “a commitment of funds made in the expectation of
some positive rate of return”. Expectation of return is an essential element of
investment. Since the return is expected to be realized in future, there is a possibility
that the return actually realized is lower than the return expected to be realized. The
possibility of variation in the actual return is known as investment risk. Thus, every
investment involves return and risk.
Financial and economic meaning of investment
In the financial sense, investment is the commitment of a person’s funds to derive future
income in the form of interest, dividend, premiums, pensions, benefits or appreciation in
the value of their capital purchasing of shares, debenture, post office saving certificate,
insurance policies are all investments in the financial sense. Such investments generate
financial assets.

In the economic sense, investment means the net additions to the economy’s capital
stock which consists of goods and services that are used in the production of other
goods and services. Investment in this sense implies the formation of new and
productive capital in the form of new constructions, plant and machinery, inventories,
etc. such investments generate physical assets.
The two types of investments are, however, related and dependent. The money
invested in financial investments are ultimately converted into physical assets. Thus, all
investments results in the acquisition of some assets either financial or physical
CHARACTERSTICS OF INVESTMENTS
All investments are characterized by certain features. Let us analyze these
characteristic of investments.
Return
All investments are characterized by the expectation of a return. In fact, investments are
made with primary objective of deriving a return. The return may receive in the form of
tiled plus capital appreciation. The return may be received in the form of yield plus
capital appreciation. The dividend or interest received from the investment is the yield.
Different types of investments promise different types of returns. The return from an

investment depends upon the nature of the investments, the maturity period and the
host of other factors.
Risk
Risk is inherent in any investment. The risk may relate to loss of capital, delay in
repayment of capital , non-payment of interest, or variability of return. The risk of an
investment depends on the following factors.
1. The longer the maturity period, the larger is the risk.
2. The lower the credit worthiness of the borrower, the higher is the risk.
3. The risk varies with the nature of investment. Investments in ownership securities
like equity share higher risk compared to investments in debt instruments like
debentures and bonds.
Safety
The safety of an investment implies the certainty of capital without loss of money.
Liquidity
An investment which easily is saleable or marketable without loss of money and without
loss of time is said to possess liquidity.

OBJECTIVES OF INVESTMENTS
An investor has various alternative avenues of investments for his savings to flow to.
Savings kept as cash are barren and do not earn anything. Hence, savings are invested
in assets depending on their risk and return characteristics. The objective of the investor
is to minimize the risk involved in investment and maximize the return from the
investment.
Thus, the objective of investment can be stated as: maximization of return, minimization
of risk & hedge against inflation.
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The investment process is generally described in four stages. These stages are
investment policy, investment analysis, valuation of securities, and portfolio
construction.
I. Investment policy: determination of ingestible wealth determination of
portfolio objectives. Identification potential investments assets consideration
of attributes of investment assets allocation of wealth to asset categories.
II. Investment policy: valuation of stocks, debentures, other asset and bonds.
III. Investment analysis
a. Equity stock analysis

b. Screenings of industries
c. Analysis of industries
d. Quantitative analysis of stocks
e. Analysis of the economy
f. Debentures and bond analysis
g. Qualitative analysis of debentures
h. Other assets analysis
Portfolio construction: determination of diversification level
consideration of investment assets evaluation of portfolio for feedback.
Investment avenues
There are various investment avenues available to investors now a days. With the
opening up of the economy the number of investments has also increased and the
quality of the investments has improved due to the use of the professional activity of
players involved in this segment. Today investment is no longer a process of trial and
error and it became a systematized process, which involves the use of the professional
investment solution provider to player greater role in the investment process.
Different investors have different objectives of the investment and they have different
risk capacities. The below it has been listed down some of the investment avenues on
the basis of risk involved. Investments in government bonds or bank deposits carry
lesser risk whereas investment in equities has comparatively higher risk. From the

following we can also see that higher the risk higher the return. Thus every person
would invest according to his requirements and risk tolerance.
1. Stock Market
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) are the
two primary exchanges in India. In addition there are 22 regional stock
exchanges. However the BSE and NSE have established themselves as two
leading exchange and account for about 90% of the equity volume in trade in
India.
The primary index of BSE is BSE Sensex comprising 30 stocks. NSE has the
S&P NSE 50 index (nifty) which consists of 50 stocks. The BSE Sensex is the
older and more widely followed index. Both exchange have switched over from
the open outcry trading system to fully automated computerized mode of trading
known as BOLT (BSE on line trading) and NEAT (national exchange automated
trading) system. It facilitates more efficient processing, automatic order matching,
faster execution of trader and transparency.
A. Equity shares
Ordinary shares are also known as equity shares and they are the most
common form of shares in UK. An ordinary share gives the right to its
owner to share in the profits of the company (dividends) and to vote at
general meetings of the company. Since the profits of the companies can
vary widely from year to year, so can the dividends paid to ordinary
shareholders. In bad years, dividends may be nothing whereas in good

years they may be substantial. Ordinary shareholders can vote on all of
the issues raised at a general meeting of the company.
The nominal value of a share is the issue value of the share – it is the
value written on the share certificate that all shareholders will be given by
the company in which they own shares. The market value of a share is
the amount at which a share is being sold on the stock exchange and may
be radically different from the nominal value.
Types of stocks
1. Common Stock
Common Stock is also referred to as common or ordinary shares, as the name
implies, the most usual and commonly held from the stock in a company.
2. Preferred Stock
Preferred stock sometimes called preferred shares, have priority over common
stock in the distribution of dividends and assets.
3. Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is shares that have been bought back from the public. Treasury
stock is considered issued, but not outstanding.
4. Dual Class Stock
Dual class stock is shares issued for a single company with varying classes
indicating different rights on voting and dividend payments. Each kind of shares
has its own class shareholders entitling different rights.

Advantages of Equity Financing
 You can use your cash and that of your investors when you start up your
business for all the startup costs, instead of making large loan payments to
banks or other organizations or individuals. You can get underway without the
burden of debt on your back.
 If you have prepared a prospectus for your investors and explained to them that
their money is at risk in your brand new startup business, they will understand
that if your business fails, they will not get their money back.
 Depending on who your investors are, they may offer valuable business
assistance that you may not have. This can be important, especially in the early
days of a new firm. You may want to consider angel investors or venture capital
funding. Choose your investor wisely.
Disadvantages of Equity Financing
1. Remember that the investors will actually own a piece of your business; how
large that piece is depends on how much money they invest. You probably
will not want to give up control of your business, so you have to be aware of
that when you agree take on investors. Investors do expect a share of profits
where, if you obtain debt financing banks or individuals only expect their loans
repaid. If you do not make a profit during the first years of your business, then

investors don’t expect to be paid and you don’t have the money on your back
of paying back loans.
2. Since your investors own a piece of your business, you are expected to act in
their best interest as well as your own, or you could open yourself up to a
lawsuit. In some cases, if you make your firm’s securities available to just a
few investors, you may not have to get into a lot of paperwork may overwhelm
you. You will need to check with the Securities and Exchange Commission to
see the requirements before you make decisions on how widely you want to
open up your business for investments.
B. Preference Shares
Preference shares offer their owners preferences over ordinary
shareholders. There are two major differences between ordinary
and preference shares:
 Preference shareholders are often entitled to a fixed dividend even when
ordinary shareholders are not.
 Preference shareholders cannot normally vote at general meetings. The
preference dividend is fixed in the sense that preference shares are often issued
with the rate of dividend fixed at the time of issue and you might see
something like this: 4% preference dividend $0.25 note, that if by any
chance a company cannot pay its preference share dividend then it
cannot pay any ordinary share dividend since the preference

shareholders have the right to receive their dividend before the ordinary
shareholders under all circumstances – hence the term 'preference'.
Types of preference shares
1. Cumulative preference shares
Preference shares are usually cumulative and this means that if this
year's dividend wasn't paid, then it will be carried forward to next year.
2. Non-Cumulative preference shares
Some preference shares are non-cumulative, if the company can’t pay the
dividend for one particular year, the dividend for that year lapses.
3. Redeemable preference shares
A preference share may be redeemable which means that at some time
in the future, the company will effectively buy if back.
4. Irredeemable preference shares
A preference share may be irredeemable which means that at some time in the
future, the company will not effectively buy it back.
5. Convertible Preference Shares
Preference shares may be issued with the right of conversion into ordinary
shares. These are called Convertible Preference Share.
6. Non-Convertible Preference shares

Preference shares may be issued without the right of conversion into
ordinary shares. These are called Convertible Preference Share.
7. Participating Preference Share
If a preference share is a participating preference share then the owner of such a
share has the right to participate in, or receive, additional
dividends over and above the fixed percentage dividend.
Advantages of preference shares
 You are assured of a dividend
If you own ordinary shares, you are not automatically entitled to a
dividend every year. The dividend will be paid only if the company makes
a profit and declares a dividend. This is not the case with preference
shares. A preference shareholder is entitled to a dividend every
year. W hat happens if the company doesn't have the money to pay
dividends on preference shares in a particular year? The dividend is then added
to the next year's dividend. If the company can't pay it the next year as well,
the dividend keeps getting added until the company can pay.
 They get priorityover ordinaryshares
Ordinary shareholders get a dividend only after the cumulative preference
shareholders get theirs. Preference shareholders are given a preference
over the rest. That's why it is called a preference share.

 Preference shares are safer
In case the company is wound up and its assets (land, building, offices, machinery,
furniture, etc.) are being sold. The money that comes from this sale is given to
shareholders. After all, shareholders invest in a business and own a portion of it.
Preference shareholders get the money first. Their accounts are settled before that
of the ordinary shareholders, who are the last to get paid.
Disadvantages of Preference Shares
 They are not easily available
 They are not traded on the stock exchange
C.Bank Deposits
1. Fixed Deposit
When you deposit a certain sum in a bank with a fixed rate of
interest and specified time period, it is called a bank fixed deposit (FD). At
maturity, you are entitled to receive the principal amount as well as the
interest earned at the pre-specified rate during that period. The rate of
interest varies between 4 and 6 per cent, depending on the maturity
period of the FD and the amount invested.
How to applyin fixed deposit?
One can get a bank FD at any bank, be it nationalized, private, or
foreign. You have to open a FD account with the bank, and make the deposit.
However, some banks insist that you maintain a savings account with them to

operate a FD. When a depositor opens an FD account with a bank, a
deposit receipt or an account statement is issued to him, which can be updated
from time to time, depending on the duration of the FD and the frequency of the
interest calculation. Check deposit receipts carefully to see that all particulars
have been properly and accurately filled in.
Features of bank deposit
1. Safety
Bank deposits are fairly safe because banks are subject to control of the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) with regard to several policy and operational parameters. The
banks are free to offer varying interests in fixed deposits of different maturities.
Interest is compounded once a quarter, leading to a somewhat higher effective
rate.
2. Minimum deposit
The minimum deposit amount varies with each bank. It can range from as low as
Rs.100 to an unlimited amount with some banks. Deposits can be made in
multiples of Rs.100/.
3. Deposit period fixed
Before opening a FD account, try to check the rates of interest for
different banks for different periods. It is advisable to keep the amount in five
or ten small deposits instead of making one big deposit. In case of any premature
withdrawal of partial amount, then only one or two deposit need be prematurely
encased. The loss sustained in interest will, thus, be less than if one big deposit
were to be enchased. Check deposit receipts carefully to see that all

particulars have been properly and accurately filled in. The
thing to consider before investing in an FD is the rate of interest and
the inflation rate. A high inflation rate can simply chip away your real returns.
4. Returns from Fixed bank deposit
The rate of interest for Bank Fixed Deposits varies between 4 and 11 per cent,
depending on the maturity period (duration) of the FD and the amount
invested. Interest rate also varies between each bank. A Bank FD does
not provide regular interest income, but a lump-sum amount on its maturity.
Some banks have facility to pay interest every quarter or every month, but
the interest paid may be at a discounted rate in case of
monthly interest. The Interest payable on Fixed Deposit can also be
transferred to Savings Bank or Current Account of the customer. The deposit
period can vary from 15, 30 or 45 days to 3, 6 months, 1 year and 1.5 years to 10
years.
Advantages of fixed bank deposit
 Safest investment
Bank deposits are the safest investment after Post office savin
gs because all bank deposits are insured under the Deposit Insurance &
Credit Guarantee Scheme of India. It is possible to get loans up to 75- 90% of the
deposit amount.
 Any Where in India

One can get a bank FD at any bank, be it nationalized, private, or
foreign. You have to open a FD account with the bank, and make the deposit.
However, some banks insist that you maintain a saving account with them to
operate a FD. When a depositor opens an FD account with a bank, a
deposit receipt or an account statement is issued to him, which can be updated
from time to time, depending on the duration of the FD and the frequency of the
interest calculation. Check deposit receipts carefully to see that all particulars
have been properly and accurately filled in.
2. Time deposit
How to start a Time Deposit?
A Time Deposits account can be opened at any post-office in the country.
Account may be opened by an individual i.e. Single Joint A/B (not more than two
adults) Trust, Regimental Fund and Welfare Fund. On opening a Time Deposit,
you will receive an account statement stating the amount deposited and the
duration of the account. The account can be closed after 6 months of opening the
account. On such closer the amount invested is returned with/without interest
depends on the time the deposit was maintained.
Features of Time Deposit
Time Deposits can be made for the periods of 1 year, 2 years, 3 years
and 5 years. The minimum investment in a post-office Time deposit is

Rs 200 and then its multiples and there is no prescribed upper limit
on your investment. Account may be opened by an individual, Trust,
Regimental Fund and Welfare Fund. The account can be closed after 6 months
but before one year of opening the account. On such closure the amount
invested is returned without interest. two year, three year and five year
accounts can be closed after one year at a discount. They
involve a loss in the interest accrued for the time the account
has been in operation. Interest is payable annually but is calculated
on a quarterly basis at the prescribed rates. One can take a loan against a time
deposit with the balance in your account pledged as security for the loan.
D.REAL ESTATE
The growth curve of Indian economy is at an all-time high and contributing to the
Upswing is the real estate sector in particular. Investments in Indian real estate
have been strongly taking the growth curve of Indian economy
up over other options for domestic as well as foreign investors. The boom in
the sector has been so appealing that real estate has turned out to be a
convincing investment as compared to other investment vehicles such as capital
land debt markets and bullion market. It is attracting investors by offering a
possibility of stable income yields, moderate capital appreciations, tax structuring
benefits and higher security in comparison to other investment options.
A survey by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry
(FCCI) and Ernst and Young has predicted that Indian real estate industry is

poised to merge as one of the most preferred investment destinations for global
reality and investment firms in next few years.
The potential of India’s property market has a revolutionizing effect on the overall
economy of India as it transforms the skyline of the Indian cities mobilizing
investments segments ranging from commercial, residential, retail, industrial,
hospitality, healthcare etc. But maximum growth is attributed to its growth from
the booming IT sector, since an estimated 70 per cent of the new construction
is for the IT sector.
Factors Favoring Investments:
Tremendous growth has been taking place in both residential as well as
commercial segmentsthat isattractinghuge investmentsphenomenalpriceescalation
(More than100% in several places) in last couple of years.Lower interest rates,
easy availability of housing finance, burgeoning income
andbetter job prospects, increase of nuclear families have given a boost
to the demand for residential properties in India. The net yields(after accounting
for all outgoings) onresidential property are currently at 4-6% p.a. However,
these investments have benefitedfrom the improving residential capital
values. As such, investors can count on potentialcapital gains to improve
their overall returns. Capital values in the residential sector haverisen byabout25-
40% p.a. in the last2 years.The realmarket in Indiahasbeengrowingdue to increasing
demandfrom retailers, higherdisposable incomesand openingsup of FDI in retail.The capital
appreciation in thissector is close to 20-35% p.a. However, the risksassociated with this
sector are higher as retailers are prone to cyclical changes typical of a business

cycle. Changing consumer behavior combined with increasing disposable
incomes will ensure future growth of the retail sector in India. In the present
day scenario, there is the powerful investment tool that brings
burgeoning financial returns, it is INDIAN REAL ESTATE!!! Investors
should the parameters minutely and meticulously to find out why
investing in Real Estate now is best viable option.
 High Demand for Commercial Real Estate:
The commercial property market has been growing at an annual rate of approximately3
0% over the past eight years across major locations in India. Moreover, there is an up
shooting demand for 200 million sq. ft. over the next fiveyears.
Real estate industry research has also thrown light on investment opportunities in the
commercial office segment in India. The demand for office space is expected to
increase significantly in the next few years, primarily driven by the IT and ITES industry
that requires an projected office space of more than 367million sq. ft. till 2012-13.
 Retail Sector Facilitating Real Estate Growth:
Apart from the IT and ITES industry influencing the Indian real estate sector, India isalso
getting into the knowledge based manufacturing industry on a large scale. Retail, oneof
India's largest industries, has presently emerged as one of the most dynamicand fast
paced industries of our times with several players entering the market.
The contemporary retail sector in India which is reflected in sprawling shopping centers
and multiplex- malls is also contributing to large scale investments in the Real

Estatesector with major national and global players investing in developing
theinfrastructureand construction of the retailing business.
 SEZs- The Emerging Investment Option:
Moreover, as real estate sector expands beyond the city limits with
government promoting industrial belts, real estate developers are eyeing
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as an extension of their business.
Several upcoming special economic zones are also expected to provide
the momentum to the commercial office space development in related
area where the land comes cheaper; and a SEZ developer is entitled for
taxexemptions like a I0-year corporate tax holiday.
 FDI - Inviting Real Estate Investments:
Not surprisingly, most foreign investors have aimed India in a big way, largely
through joint ventures. Along with curtailing the risk factor, it provides
the participating companies an exit route. Since 2005, when FDI in
Indian Real State was permitted, US $7-8 billion have been parked
in.The Government of India's liberalization and economic refor
ms programmedencourages industrial policy reforms that have
reduced the industrial licensingrequirements,removed restrictions on
investment and expansion, and facilitatedeasy access to foreing
technology and FDI. Increased inflow of investment arising out

of flexible FDI policies is sure to have a direct and positive
impact on the Real Estate scenario of India.
Why Invest in Real Estate in India?
The Indian economy and the real estate sector in particular are high on itsride
toprosperity. As India's economic growth curve raises, real estate India has
emerged as one of themost appealing investment areas for domestic as well
as foreigninvestors. Indian realestate has huge potential demand in almost
every sector, butespecially commercial,residential, retail, industrial,
hospitality, healthcareetc. But maximum growth isattributed to its
growth from the booming IT sector, since an estimated 70 per cent of
thenew construction is for the IT sector.
KeyFacts
 Selling and buying Indian property is now considered as the most profitable and
attractive business opportunity in the present real estate scenario in India. New
demandshave added to strength of real estate markets across the commercial,
residential and retail sectors in India. Not surprisingly, demand for Indian property
has been increasingly steady for the past few years ant it has exceeded supply.
 There has also been an upward swing on the real estate price values in the
recent years. Due to the huge demand and rising prices, investment and speculative

interest in real estate is growing while excess money supply, stock market gains
and policy changesareadding to the trend in favorof the realestate sector.
 In the last one year, the capital values of the commercial office
spaces hasincreased byup to 40%owing to the increase in the demandfrom IT / ITES and
BPOsectoracrossmajormetros in India.
 India hasa distinct regulatoryand financing management in place.
 Real estate boom in India is supported byits own flourishing
economy on asustainable basis. Here, growth of the property market is not a
result of renovationand overhauling; but rapiddevelopment that witnessforIndia riding
the high growth wave.
E. MUTUAL FUNDS
They buy shares in companies with high potential for growth (some of
which might not pay dividends). The NAV of such fund will tend to be
erratic since these so-called growth shares experience high price
volatility. They also make quick profits by investing in the small cap
shares and by investing in the Initial Public Offering (IPO’s) of small
companies. However, growth strategy may differ from one fund to
another. Not all growth funds operate similarly.
Income Funds
The aim of income funds is to provide regular and steady
income to investors. Suchschemes generally invest in fixed income
securities such as bonds, corporate debentures an d Government securities.

Income Funds are ideal for capital stability and regular income.
They aim to provide safety of principal and regular (monthly, quarterly or
semiannually) income by investing in bonds, corporate debentures and
other fixed incomeinstruments. The AMC in this case will also be
guided by ratings given to the issuer of debt by credit rating agencies.
Wherever a debt instrument is not rated, specific approvalof the board of the
AMC is required. Since most corporate debt is illiquid, the fund triesto provide
liquidity by investing in debt of varying maturity.
 Balanced Funds
The aim of balanced funds is to provide both growth and regular
income. Such schemes periodically distribute a part of their earning and invest
both in equities and fixed income securities in the proportion indicated
in their offer documents. In a rising stock market, the NAV of these
schemes may not normally keep pace, or fall equally when the market falls.The
investors looking for a combination of income and moderate growth, the idea is
to get the best of both the worlds, equity shares and debt. The
proportion of the two asset classes depends on the fund manager’s
preference for risk against
return.But because the investments are highly diversified, investors reduce thei
r market risk. Normally about 50 to 65 per cent of a portfolio's assets are invested
in equity shares.
 MoneyMarket Funds

The aim of money market funds is to provide easy liquidity, preservation of capital
and moderate income.
These schemes generally invest in safer short-term instruments.
Returns on these schemes may fluctuate depending upon the interest rates
prevailing inthe market. These are ideal for Corporate and individual investors as a
means to park their surplus funds for short periods. Also known as Liquid Plans,
these funds are a playon volatility in interest rates. Most of their investment is in
fixed-income instrumentswith maturity period of less than a year. Since they accept
money even for a few days,they are best used to park short-term money, which
otherwise earns a lower return in asavings bank account.
Advantages of Mutual Funds:
 There are numerous benefits of investing in mutual funds and one of the key
reasons for its phenomenal success in the developed markets like
US and UK is the range of benefits they offer, which are
unmatched by most other investment avenues . We haveexplained
the key benefits in this section. The benefits have been broadly split
intouniversal benefits, applicable to all schemes and benefits
applicable specifically toopen-ended schemes.
 Professional Management
The primary advantage of funds (at least theoretically) is the professional
managementof the money. Investors purchase funds because they
do not have the time or the expertise to manage their own portfolios. A

mutual fund is a relatively inexpensive wayfor a small investor to get a full-time
manager to make and monitor investments.
MutualFunds provide the services of experienced and skilled pro
fessionals, backed by adedicated investment research team that
analyses the performance and prospects of companies and selects suitable
investments to achieve the objectives of the scheme.
 Diversification
M u t u a l F u n d s i n v e s t i n a n u m b e r o f c o m p a n i e s a c r o s s a
b r o a d c r o s s - s e c t i o n o f industries and sectors. This diversification
reduces the risk because seldom do all stocksdecline at the same time
and in the same proportion. Customers can achieve
thisdiversification through a Mutual Fund with far less money than you
can do on your own. By owning shares in a mutual fund instead of owning
individual stocks or bonds,your risk is spread out. The idea behind diversification
is to invest in a large number of assets so that a loss in any particular investment
is minimized by gains in others.

 Liquidity
Just like an individual stock, a mutual fund allows the customers to
request that your shares be converted into cash at any time. In open-
end schemes, the investor gets themoney back promptly at net asset value
related prices from the Mutual Fund. In closed-end schemes, the units can be
sold on a stock exchange at the prevailing market price or the investor can
avail of the facility of direct repurchase at NAV related prices by
theMutual Fund.
 Flexibility
Through features such as regular investment plans, regular wit
hdrawal plans anddividend reinvestment plans, you can systematically
invest or withdraw funds accordingto your needs and convenience.
 Choice of Schemes
Mutual Funds offer a family of schemes to suit the customers varying
needs over alifetime. Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This
variety is beneficialin two ways: first, it offers different types of schemes to
investors with different needsand risk appetites; secondly, it offers an opportunity
to an investor to invest sums acrossa variety of schemes, both debt and equity.
 Tax benefits
Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the
assessment of all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to
Unit holders of open-endedequity-oriented funds, income distributions for the
year ending March 31, 2003, will betaxed at a concessional rate of 10.5%.In

case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families a deduction up to
Rs.9, 000 fromthe Total Income will be admissible in respect of income from
investments specified inSection 80L, including income from Units of the Mutual
Fund. Units of the schemes arenot subject to Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax
Limitations of Mutual funds
 No Control over Costs
Investor has to pay investment management fees as long as he
remains in the fund.Investors who invest on their own can build their own
portfolios of shares, bonds and other securities Investing through funds
means he delegates this decision to fund managers.
 Managing Portfolio of Funds
Availability of large number of funds can actually mean too much of
choice for the investor. He may again need advice on how to select a
fund to achieve hisobjectives.
 No Guarantee
When the entire stock market goes dow n, the Mutual Fund shares
will also go down even if the portfolio is balanced though the risk is low.
 Administrative fees or sales commissions are charged by all the funds to
compensate brokers and financial planners.

F. METALS
GOLD
 Introduction
The real value of gold is not that it provides a quick,
speculative fix, but that
itcan provide a sure and steady means ofprotecting wealth and enhance the co
nsistency of returns. With gold's role as a portfolio diversifier, a hedge
against inflation and exposure to the dollar, there are several compelling
arguments for investing a portion of one's portfolio in the yellow metal.
 Portfolio Diversification:
Most investment portfolios are invested primarily in traditional
financial assets such asstocks and bonds. The reason for holding diverse
investments is to protect the portfolioagainst fluctuations in the value of any
single asset class. Portfolios that contain gold aregenerally more robust and
better able to cope with market uncertainties than those thatdon't.Adding
gold to a portfolio introduces an entirely different class of asset. Gold is
unusual because it is both a commodity and a monetary asset and is an effective

diversifier because its performance tends to move independently of other
investments.
 Dollar Hedge:
Gold is often cited as being an effective hedge against fluctuations in
the US dollar, theworld's main trading currency. If the dollar
appreciates, the dollar gold price falls andsimilarly a fall in the dollar
relative to the other main currencies produces a rise in thegold price.Like
all physical commodities, gold is an asset that bears no credit risk. Holding
assets inthe yellow metal involves no counterparty and is no one's liability. In
addition to that, the physical properties of the metal make it an excellent
alternative to money.
 Durable:
Gold is durable. Unlike many of the other commodities examined, other things
remainingequal (i.e. assuming no changes in price), there is no
depreciation in the value of gold,other than any storage costs that
might apply. Gold is fungible. It is, at least in theory,infinitely divisible with
virtually no losses (other than any operational costs the processmight
incur).Furthermore, gold has a high value to volume ratio, which makes
it easily transferable,with low transport and storage costs. Moreover,
gold is one of the deepest commoditymarkets with the highest levels of
liquidity, second only to oil.
 Inflation:

The purchasing power of gold has not diminished since Biblical times. According
to theOld Testament, during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, an
ounce of gold bought 350loaves of bread. Today, an ounce of gold
still buys 350 loaves. The value of goldtherefore, in terms of real
goods and services that it can buy, has remained remarkablystable.In
contrast, the purchasing power of many currencies has generally
declined. There is agrowing body of research to bolster gold's reputation as a
protector of wealth against theravages of inflation. Market cycles come
and go, but gold has maintained its long termvalue.
 Safe Haven:
In volatile and uncertain times, we often witness a ‘flight to quality', as investors
seek to protect their capital by moving it into assets considered to be safer stores
of value.Gold is among only a handful of financial assets that is not matched by a
liability. It can provide insurance against extreme movements on the value of
traditional asset classes that can happen in unsettled times.
 Liquidity
Gold's liquidity is one of its critical investment attributes. Gold can be
traded around the clock in large size, at narrower spreads and more rapidly than
many competing diversifiers or main stream investment.
SILVER
 Introduction

Silver is a white colored shiny element that is highly ductile and malleable and is
used inmaking jewelry, coins and tableware. It is also used in
chemical experiments as it provides a high electrical and thermal
conductivity. It is found in the metallic state andalso in a large amount of minerals
mainly in argentite. That is why it is called argentumin LatinSilver is a metal that
is associated with metals like gold, lead, zinc and copper, though it’sunusual
properties makes it very different from them. It is used in making various kindsof
jewelry, as it is considered as a precious metal second to gold but its
contribution inthe various industrial sectors as a raw material makes it
unmatchable. No other metal canreplace silver as it has an endless number of
uses.Silver is produced throughout the world but an interesting fact
remains that the primarysource of silver is not the silver mines
but the other sources of silver. Silver mines produce a small
amount of silver that is 25% of the world’s total production and the restof it is
derived as a by-product from gold mines (15%), copper mines (24%),
lead andzinc mines (34%) and other sources. The total production of silver in
the world figures to be around 615 million ounces and Mexico is the leading
silver producing country. Thetotal demand of silver in the world amounts to be
around 29 thousand tons. About 95% of this demand is contributed largely by
three industrial sectors namely photography, jewelry and silverware sectors.
The idea of silver as a holding asset and as a source of coinage is losing
popularity to the idea of silver as an industrial commodity. The demand of silver
in 2002 from these sectors was: -

 Photography sector – 342 million ounces
 Jewelry sector – 205 million ounces
 Silverware sector – 259 million ounces
The countries that are the major consumers of silver are: -
 United states,
 Canada,
 Mexico,
 United Kingdom,
 France,
 Germany,
 Italy,
 Japan
 India.
Production of silver in India
 India hardly produces any silver and is basically a silver importing country. It
holds the20th place in the list of silver producing countries and the total
production of silver inIndia in 2004 was around 2.1 million ounces.
The three major silver producing states inIndia are: - Rajasthan, Gujarat,
Jharkhand.Rajasthan is the leading silver producing state in India with a
production of around 32thousand tons. Gujarat follows on the
second place with a production of around 20 thousand tons.
 Indian Silver Market:

As mentioned above, India is primarily a silver importing country, as
the production of India is not sufficient to satisfy the ever-growing
domestic demand. The production of silver in India stands out at the figure
of around 2.1 million ounces placing it at the 20th position in the list of major
silver producing countries. The import of silver in India hovers over 110 million
ounces that shows the huge size of Indian domestic demand.However,
this import level fell sharply as a result of the decline in demand due to rise
insilver prices and inconsistent monsoon on which the income of the rural sector
depends.India stands third after United States and Japan among the leading
consumers of silver inthe world.
Major trading centers of Silver
 London

G.COMMODITY
 Introduction
A physical substance, such as food, grains, and metals, which is
interchangeable with another product of the same type, and which investors
buy or sell, usually through futures contracts. The price of the commodity is
subject to supply and demand. Risk is actuallythe reason exchange trading
of the basic agricultural products began. For example, afarmer risks
the cost of producing a product ready for market at some time in the
future because he doesn't know what the selling price will be.
 Definition
Commodity is defined as any bulk good traded on an exchange or in the cash
market.One of the first forms of trade between individuals began by what is
calledthe barter system wherein goods were traded for goods. Lack of a
medium for exchange was thesole initiator of this system. People sold
what they had inexcess and bought what theylacked. Animals were the first
few commodities to be exchanged. Some examples ofcommodities include
grain, oats, gold, oil, beef,silver, and natural gas.
Commodities Exchange in India:-
In India, there are 26 registered commodities exchanges. Out of them only 3
commodities exchange offer online screen based trading system. They are
 National Multi Commodities Exchange of India Limited(NMCE)

H.INSURANCE
 Definition

defectsand that is required if the property has a mortgage.Title insurance is a
police issued by title insurance company, assuring that thetitle is a clear in the
name of title owner. That means if owner wish to
salethe property, that time he don't
have any problem to sell that. If any problemcreates after selling the
property to the new owner that time title insurancecompany will pay the
damage for that or take action to solve that problem.
Origin and growth of Insurance Sector in India
Insurance sector in India is one of the booming sectors of the economy and is
growing atthe rate of 15-20 per cent annum. Together with banking services, it
contributes to about7 per cent to the country's GDP. Insurance is a
federal subject in India and Insuranceindustry in India is governed by
Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation Act,1956 and General
Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972, Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority (IRDA)Act, 1999 and other related Acts. The origin of life
insurance in India can be traced back to 1818 with the establishment of the
Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. It was conceived as a means to
providefor English Widows. In those days a higher premium was

charged for Indian lives thanthe non-Indian lives as Indian lives were
considered riskier for coverage. The BombayMutual Life Insurance Society
that started its business in 1870 was the first company tocharge same premium
for both Indian and non-Indian lives. In 1912, insurance regulationformally
began with the passing of Life Insurance Companies Act and the
ProvidentFund Act.By 1938, there were 176 insurance companies in
India. But a number of frauds during1920s and 1930s tainted the
image of insurance industry in India. In 1938, the
firstcomprehensive legislation regarding insurance was introdu
ced with the passing of Insurance Act of 1938 that provided stri
ct State Control over insurance business.Insurance sector in India
grew at a faster pace after independence. In 1956, Governmentof India
brought together 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident
societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and formed Life
Insurance Corporation (LIC) byan Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956,
with a capital contribution of Rs.5 cr.The (non-life) insurance
business/general insurance remained with the private sector till1972. There
were 107 private companies involved in the business of general
operationsand their operations were restricted to organized trade and
industry in large cities.
TheGeneral Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 nati
onalised the generalinsurance business in India with effect from January 1,
1973. The 107 private insurancecompanies were amalgamated and

grouped into four companies: National InsuranceCompany, New
India Assurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company and
UnitedIndia Insurance Company. These were subsidiaries of the
General Insurance Company(GIC).
Insurance as Investment
Agreed, insurance may not be the best place to invest your hard-earned money.
But thereare sufficient reasons for one to believe that it can be a
highly lucrative avenue to facilitate savings. People often talk about yield
on investment and tend to compare their values with those available on
various insurance schemes. This is particularlytypicalwithin the
Indian sub-continent where one conveniently forgets the
element of risk covered by life insurance.It is extremely unfair to compare
the performance of insurance against other investmentswithout considering
the core features of insurance. The very essence of insurance is
to protect your family from the uncertainty of your life. Hence it proves very logica
l toevaluate the costs involved towards this feature. Ask yourself this
questionwhen you pay insurance premium for your car, do you get
anything if fortunately nomishap happens? This means that you spent the
amount to secure a valuable property.Hence you must accept that out of the total
amount paid by you for your life insurance, ascertain amount is used for
providing the risk cover and only the balance can be utilized assavings.In other
words, the total premium you pay minus the amount evaluated as the
cost of insurance must be considered as the amount invested to get

the maturity amount. If youcalculate the yield from returns, you will be in for a
surprise.
Indian Insurance Industry
Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or
eliminate risk of life and property. Under the plan of insurance, a
large number of people associate themselves bysharing risk, attached
to individual. The risk, which can be insured against include fire,the
peril of sea, death, incident, & burglary. Any risk contingent
upon these may be insured against at a premium commensurate with the risk
involved.Insurance is actually a contract between 2 parties
whereby one party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed
sum called premium to pay the other party happeningof a certain event.
Insurance is a contract whereby, in return for the payment of premium by the
insured, the insurers pay the financial losses suffered by the insured as a
result of the occurrence of unforeseen events.W ith the help of Insurance,
large number of people exposed to a similar risk
makecontributions to a common fund out of which the losses suffered by the
unfortunate few,due to accidental events, are made good

History
ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial
institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was
reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity
offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition
of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary
market sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was
formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and
representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a development
financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian
businesses.

In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution
offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide
variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and
affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first
bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE.
After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the
emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards
universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the
merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both
entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal
banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the
merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based
income and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-
banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders
through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong
corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments,
higher market share in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and
access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries.
In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger
of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial
Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was

OVERVIEW
“Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting
pursuit of your goal — a commitment to excellence — that will enable you to attain the
success you seek.” — Mario Andretti
Growth and money cannot sustain an organization for as long as uniqueness and
excellence can. We at Muthoot Finance Limited are harbingers of this belief since our
inception. Moreover, being a part of the rapidly growing family, Muthoot Group, fosters
in our culture, profound values of integrity, honesty and humility.
Knowing Our Roots
These values were inculcated when the company was formed, with the vision of
“creating an organization capable of serving the versatile needs of a growing Indian
financial market”. The purpose at hand is to identify and utilize untapped sections of the
market and reach out to as wide an audience as possible.
The focus of the company is on creating liquidity with an asset class, namely gold, that
has the largest consumer market in India. We see it as one of the preeminent ways of
creating wealth in the economy. With over 6 million loan accounts in its loan portfolio,
Muthoot Finance is recognized as a pioneer in gold financing. Undoubtedly, gold
funding is our niche; nonetheless our lendings are not restricted to gold loans. An
assorted asset portfolio impels us on the road to pioneer a competent financial market.
The Larger Picture

At Muthoot Finance, we understand the responsibility that rests on our shoulders. Being
a company with an increasing asset base, we take upon ourselves the onus of ensuring
smoother processes of monetary transactions, whether they are money transfer, gold
loans or gold bonds.
Being entrusted with the purpose of delivering value enables us to consider each
customer’s need as unique. We cater to gold loan requirements varying from a principle
loan amount of Rs. 1500 up to the maximum extent of Rs 10,000,000 (1 crore). This is
instrumental in accomplishing our objective of holistic growth for the economy.
Numbers Speak
Trusting numbers alone would be a myopic view of estimating our growth. However,
they do give an insight into our strength. We’ve deployed 25,000 people in over 4100
branches spread over 21 states and 4 Union Territories. With such rapid growth
potential, Muthoot Finance is an a market player dedicated to make a positive impact on
countless people, ranging from farmers to salaried employees seeking financial aid. A
diversified portfolio of assets is what sets us apart from the competition. It is
accentuated by the unbridled trust that our customers have bestowed on us, over the
years. It is this mutual trust that has, in turn, and over the years, created the long
relationships between Muthoot Finance and its invaluable customers. Such conviction
is, indeed, humbling.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Corporate Social Responsibility

The Muthoot Group nurtures a commitment of giving back manifold to the society. In the
wake of an age where the society expects the corporate sector to step in and take up
the responsibility for community growth, we at the Muthoot Group focus our CSR
initiatives towards sustainability.
Our Beliefs
At Muthoot Finance Ltd. we foster a spirit of reliability. We work towards a new
framework driven by trust, and propelled by integrity. The core purpose is to create
awareness and consistency for those classes of the economy that have little or no trust
in the financial system of the country. We want to reinforce their belief in the economic
system of the country by being a bankable organization. Our value system has fortified
the roots of our heritage. It is due to these indispensible values and our commitment to
keeping the customer first that we have been rapidly growing since the past 126 years
