INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY:

The methods used to analyze securities and make investment decisions fall
into two very broad categories: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental
analysis involves analyzing the characteristics of a company in order to estimate its value.
Technical analysis takes a completely different approach; it doesnt care one bit about the
value of a company or a commodity. Technicians (sometimes called chartists) are only
interested in the price movements in the market.
Despite all the fancy and exotic tools it employs, technical analysis really
just studies supply and demand in a market in an attempt to determine what direction, or
trend, will continue in the future. In other words, technical analysis attempts to
understand the emotions in the market by studying the market itself, as opposed to its
components. If you understand the benefits and limitations of technical analysis, it can
give you a new set or skills that will enable you to be a better trader or investor.

Technical analysis is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing the

statistics generalized by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical
analysis does not attempt to measure a securitys intrinsic value, but instead use charts
and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity.

Just as there are many investment styles on the fundamental side, there are
also many different types of technical traders. Some rely on chart patterns; others use
technical indicators and oscillators, and most use some combination of the two. In any
case, technical analysts exclusive use of historical price and volume data is what
separates them from their fundamental counterparts. Unlike fundamental analysis,
technical analysts dont care whether a stock is undervalued the only thing that matters
is a securitys past trading data and what information this data can provide about where
the society might move in the future.

The field of technical analysis is based on three assumptions:

The market discounts everything.

Price moves in trends.

History tends to repeat itself.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

To analyze the price movements of shares of SBI, ICICI, and HDFC interpret the
corrections and trends by using Technical Analysis tools.

To forecast the future trends and provide suitable suggestions to the investors.

To calculate the risk associated with the Investment

To find out systematic risk of securities

SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

The study covers a period of six months from January 2012 to June 2012.

The study helps to find out the future trends in the prices of SBI, ICICI, HDFC equity

shares. Valuable hints can be identified by the investors for their future buying and
selling.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

One of the most important limitations for most technical analysis methods is the fact
that there are so many people using the basic technical analysis methods already, and the
number is increasing every day, making it harder for a single trader to make money on
the market with the methods.

Because of these methods are so widely spread and there is so much money riding on

the methods, some also claim that technical analysis has become self-fulfilling prophecy,
as people trend to enter the market and put their stops on the same places, increasing the
volatility towards the technical analysis method being correct.
Technical analysis systems usually do not take into account correlation between
different markets. If you are analyzing several markets and they all give similar signals,
they may have close correlations, meaning that the risk profile for each is very similar,
and that the prices of the assets move in close steps with each other.

Research Methodology:
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It
may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. The
various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying research problem
along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the
research methods/ techniques but also the methodology.

Analytical Research:
Research Design was based on analytical research, on the other hand, the
researcher has to use facts or information already available, and analyze these
to make these to make a critical evaluation of the material.

Sources of Data:
The main sources of data are collected through website, various
Publication books, magazines, newspaper and reports prepared by research
Scholars etc.

Data Collection:
Data required for the purpose of the study have been collected from the
Websites of the banks concerned.

Data Analysis:
The data required so collected have been analyzed by using MS-EXCEL.
In the process of analysis Average rate of return, Standard deviation,
Co-efficient of correlation, Covariance and beta values have been collected

Research tools used:

Returns:
A major purpose of investment is to set a return or income on the funds invested. On a
bond an investor expects to receive interest. On a stock, dividends may be anticipated.
The investor may expect capital gains from some investments and rental income from
house property return may take several forms
Returns for the collected data is calculated using the following formula

Pt = current price
Po = previous price

Average of the Returns calculated as follows:

Standard Deviation:
1. A measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the
data, the higher the deviation. Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of
variance.
2. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to
measure the investment's volatility. Standard deviation is also known as historical
volatility and is used by investors as a gauge for the amount of expected volatility.

Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that sheds light on historical volatility.

For example, a volatile stock will have a high standard deviation while the deviation of a
stable blue chip stock will be lower. A large dispersion tells us how much the return on
the fund is deviating from the expected normal returns.

Risk is calculated as follows:

D = deviation; N =No. of days

Beta:
Measures volatility or systemic risk compared to the market or the benchmark index
Beta Value Calculated as follows:

BETA= COVARIANCE OF MARKET AND SBI / VARIANCE OF MARKET

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

EQUITY SHARES
Equity represents an ownership position in a corporation. It is residual claim in
the sense that creditors and preference shareholders must be paid as scheduled before
equity shareholders can receive payment. In bankruptcy equity holders are principle
entitled only to assets remaining after all prior claimants has been satisfied. Thus risk is
highest with equity shares and so must be its expected return. When investors buy equity
shares, they receive certificates of ownership as proof of their being part owners of the
company. The certificate states the number of shares purchased and their par value. The
attitude towards equity shares varied from extreme pessimism to optimism from time to
time.

The main advantages of equity shares are listed below:

Potential for Profit : The potential for profit is greater in equity shares than in any
other investment security. Current dividends yield may be low but potential of
capital gains is great. The total yield or yields to maturity may be substantial over
a period of time.

Limited Liability: In corporate form of organization, its owners have, generally,

limited liability. An equity share is usually fully paid. Shareholders may lose their
investments, but no more. They are not further liable for any failure in the part of
corporation of meet its obligation.

Hedge against Inflation: The equity share is good hedge against inflation though it
does not fully compensate for the declining purchasing power as it is subject to
money-rate risk. But when interest rates are high, shares tend to be less attractive,
and prices tend to be depressed.

Share in Growth: A share is its ability to The major advantage of investment in

equity increase in value by sharing in the growth of company profits over the long
run.

Tax Advantage: Equity shares also offers tax advantage to the investors. The
larger yield on equity shares results from an increase in principal of capital gains,
which are taxed at lower rate than other incomes in most of the countries.

EQUITY CAPITAL TERMINOLOGY:

The important terms used in equity capital are listed below:

Authorized Capital: The authorized capital is the maximum number of shares

of each type that may be issued by the company. To change this number, or
provision of any class of shares, the company requires the formal approval of
shareholders.

Issued Capital: Issued capital is the part of the authorized capital that has been
issued for cash, property, or service.

Paid up Capital: Fully paid shares are those shares for which the corporation
has received full payment up to the par-value, or up to the amount established
as the selling price of no-par-shares. Partly paid shares are those shares that
have been issued for less than par-value or the agreed subscription.

NATURE OF EQUITY SHARES:

Equity shares represent an ownership of a corporation. It is true that the equity shares
must bear first impact of any adversity, but it is also true that the equity shares is the only
class of securities privileged to enjoy maximum participation in an extensive growth of
the company. The risk of the one may be regarded as price. In fact, the investor is vitally
concerned with the yield earned over the commensurate with the opportunity of the other.

Evidence of Ownership: When investor buys equity shares, they receive certificates
of ownership as a proof of their part as owners of the company. This certificates state the
number of shares purchased, their par value, if any, and usually the transfer agent. When
equity shares are purchased on the market (that when it is not a new issue which is
purchased from the company).

Maturity of Equity Shares: Equity shares have no maturity date. Their life is limited
by the length of time stated in the corporate charter know as Memorandum of
Association. The corporate life might be for stated or limited period, or it might be
perpetual. Most corporations have a perpetual character. The date on which the equity is
sold by the investor is the maturity date, and the price at which the equity is sold is called
the maturity period that the equity is owned.

Par Value: Par value is the face value of the share. Equity shares have par value, a
nominal stated value. The par value of an equity shares indicates the amount of capital
originally subscribed by the shareholders. New shares cannot be sold less than par value.
If the equity shares are sold for more than par, the excess is transferred to Share
Premium Account.

Net Asset Value and Book Value: Distrust of present value formulae, the quest for
objectivity and perhaps even nostalgia lead some analyst to place greater emphasis on the
asset value factor when evaluating investment worth of a companys equity shares. Net
assets or net worth can be calculated from either the asset of liability side of balance
sheet.

Financial Analysis and Accounting Data: The historical numbers that analyst uses
to prepare rates and forecasting equations are generally based on figures that have been
taken from the published financial statements of the firm being analyzed. Although these
statements may have been prepared according to generally accept accounting
principles, there may be significant variation in real economic meaning of financial
reports.

INVESTMENT PROCESS IN EQUITY SHARES:

Investment process describes how an investor should go about making decisions with
regard to what marketable securities to invest in, how extensive the investment should be
and when the investment should be made. An eight-step procedure for making these
decisions forms the basis for the investment process.
1. What is Investment
2. Understanding Shares
3. Finding a Broker
4. Evaluation of Shares
5. Research Tools
6. Investing Strategy
7. Investing Technique
8. What Moves the Market

Step 1: What is Investment?

Investment in broad sense means the sacrifice of current rupees for further rupees.
Investing is making your money work for you without taking any more risks than
necessary for your comfort.

Investing is the proactive use of your money to make more money.

How to calculate Risk Premium?

Risk premium is what a stock should return over a risk-free investment. It is

your reward for taking a risk with your money.

Weak demand is the important factor in stock pricing:

Despite high crude oil prices, its weak demand for gasoline that holds back oil
stock prices. Supply and demand is an important factor in determining price of
stocks. Corrections is natural part of stock market cycle.

Step 2: Understanding Shares

Bull and Bear stock market are the two sides of same coin:

Bull and bear

markets go together and are necessary for an efficient market.

Poll results show confidence in stocks: The results of a poll on where the sensex
be at the end of 2009 show stock investors are positive.

Step 3: Finding a Broker

To decide which type of broker is right for you, you need to use these resources to
find the brokerage arrangement that best fits your needs.

Thirteen of the top online stock trading sites offer investors a wide variety of
services including research and advice.

Brokers offer different levels of service. A broker fills in the gaps in knowledge
and experience.

Stock prices are driven by the relationship between buyers and sellers. Attractive
stocks have more buyers than sellers, which drives up prices, while less attractive
stocks feel the reverse effect.

Step 4: Evaluating Stocks for Investment

Fundamental analysis relies on several tools to give investors an accurate picture
of the financial health of a company and how the market values the stock. The following
are the most popular tools of fundamental analysis. They focus on earnings, growth, and
value in the market.

a) Earnings Per Share EPS

b) Price to Earnings Ratio P/E
c) Projected Earnings Growth PEG
d) Price to Sales P/S
e) Price to Book P/B
f) Dividend Payout Ratio
g) Dividend Yield
h) Book Value
i) Return on Equity

Step 5: Research Tools

The internet is a gold mine of information, but youll need some tools to get to the
nuggets. Research tools make the job easier if you know where to find them and how to
use them.

The better stock screens offer similar characteristics that give you greater
flexibility when looking for investment candidates and eliminate other
companies.

Stock screens will save time and help to build a thoughtful portfolio by
focusing on those companies that meet your investing requirements.

Stock screens can help any investor make better stock selections by reducing
the number of companies to research.

Dividend ratios can tell much about a stock and its future payout prospects.

One of the best sources of information on companies is free and as near as

your computer.

Step 6: Investing Strategies

What strategy to use as an investor? The different investment strategies and how to
develop personal investment strategy is explained below:

When and how to sell a winning stock?

o Knowing when and how to sell a winning stock is as important as
knowing when to sell a losing stock.

Dont be too conservative with stocks:

o Following a too conservative investment strategy in retirement may not
protect you from outliving your money.

Step 7: Investing Techniques

Investing techniques offer powerful ways for investors to execute their strategies. These
techniques provide a structure for investing.

After-hours trading of stocks may seem like a great idea, but it is full of risks
for the average investor.

Diversify stocks by industry to avoid across-the-board losses on bad economic

news. Investments should not be correlated to achieve diversity.

Investing with expectations of high returns is not investing but gambling.

Dont try to double or triple your money quickly in the stock market youll
be disappointed and perhaps poorer.

Step 8: What Moves the Market?

What makes the market rise or fall? Sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own that
reacts poorly to good news and with enthusiasm to bad news. One should learn the
factors that are the major influences on the markets and how to use this information.
Major economic and political factors shape the market, but most of all the market hates
uncertainty.

Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a security analysis discipline for forecasting the future
direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume.

History
The principles of technical analysis derive from the observation of financial
markets over hundreds of years. The oldest known hints of technical analysis appear in
Joseph de la Vega's accounts of the Dutch markets in the 17th century. In Asia, the oldest
example of technical analysis is thought to be a method developed by Homma Munehisa
during early 18th century which evolved into the use of candlestick techniques, and is
today a main charting tool.
Dow Theory is based on the collected writings of Dow Jones co-founder and
Editor Charles Dow, and inspired the use and development of modern technical analysis
from the end of the 19th century. Other pioneers of analysis techniques include Ralph
Nelson Elliott and William Delbert Gann who developed their respective techniques in
the early 20th century.
Many more technical tools and theories have been developed and enhanced in
recent decades, with an increasing emphasis on computer-assisted techniques.

General Description
Technical analysts seek to identify price patterns and trends in financial markets
and attempt to exploit those patterns. While technicians use various methods and tools,
the study of price charts is primary.
Technicians especially search for archetypal patterns, such as the well-known head and
shoulders or double top reversal patterns, study indicators such as moving averages, and

look for forms such as lines of support, resistance, channels, and more obscure
formations such as flags, pennants or balance days.
Technical analysts also extensively use indicators, which are typically
mathematical transformations of price or volume. These indicators are used to help
determine whether an asset is trending, and if it is, its price direction. Technicians also
look for relationships between price, volume and, in the case of futures, open interest.
Examples include the relative strength index, and MACD. Other avenues of study include
correlations between changes in options (implied volatility) and put/call ratios with price.
Other technicians include sentiment indicators, such as Put/Call ratios and Implied
Volatility in their analysis.
Technicians seek to forecast price movements such that large gains from
successful trades exceed more numerous but smaller losing trades, producing positive
returns in the long run through proper risk control and money management.
There are several schools of technical analysis. Adherents of different schools (for
example, candlestick charting, Dow Theory, and Elliott wave theory) may ignore the
other approaches, yet many traders combine elements from more than one school. Some
technical analysts use subjective judgment to decide which pattern a particular instrument
reflects at a given time, and what the interpretation of that pattern should be. Some
technical analysts also employ a strictly mechanical or systematic approach to pattern
identification and interpretation.
Technical analysis is frequently contrasted with fundamental analysis, the study
of economic factors that influence prices in financial markets. Technical analysis holds
that prices already reflect all such influences before investors are aware of them, hence
the study of price action alone. Some traders use technical or fundamental analysis
exclusively, while others use both types to make trading decisions.
Users of technical analysis are most often called technicians or market
technicians. Some prefer the term technical market analyst or simply market analyst. An

older term, chartist, is sometimes used, but as the discipline has expanded and
modernized the use of the term chartist has become less popular.

Characteristics
Technical analysis employs models and trading rules based on price and volume
transformations, such as the relative strength index, moving averages, regressions, intermarket and intra-market price correlations, cycles or, classically, through recognition of
chart patterns.
Technical analysis stands in contrast to the fundamental analysis approach to
security and stock analysis. Technical analysis "ignores" the actual nature of the
company, market, currency or commodity and is based solely on "the charts," that is to
say price and volume information, whereas fundamental analysis does look at the actual
facts of the company, market, currency or commodity. For example, any large brokerage,
trading group, or financial institution will typically have both a technical analysis and
fundamental analysis team.
Technical analysis is widely used among traders and financial professionals, and
is very often used by active day traders, market makers, and pit traders. In the 1960s and
1970s it was widely dismissed by academics. In a recent review, Irwin and Park reported
that 56 of 95 modern studies found it produces positive results, but noted that many of the
positive results were rendered dubious by issues such as data snooping so that the
evidence in support of technical analysis was inconclusive; it is still considered by many
academics to be pseudoscience. Academics such as Eugene Fama say the evidence for
technical analysis is sparse and is inconsistent with the weak form of the efficient market
hypothesis. Users hold that even if technical analysis cannot predict the future, it helps to
identify trading opportunities.

In the foreign exchange markets, its use may be more widespread than
fundamental analysis. While some isolated studies have indicated that technical trading
rules might lead to consistent returns in the period prior to 1987, most academic work has
focused on the nature of the anomalous position of the foreign exchange market. It is
speculated that this anomaly is due to central bank intervention. Recent research suggests
that combining various trading signals into a Combined Signal Approach may be able to
increase profitability and reduce dependence on any single rule.

Principles
Technicians say that a market's price reflects all relevant information, so their
analysis looks at the history of a security's trading pattern rather than external drivers
such as economic, fundamental and news events. Price action also tends to repeat itself
because investors collectively tend toward patterned behavior hence technicians' focus
on identifiable trends and conditions.

Market action discounts everything

Based on the premise that all relevant information is already reflected by prices,
pure technical analysts believe it is redundant to do fundamental analysis they say news
and news events do not significantly influence price, and cite supporting research such as
the study by Cutler, Poterba, and Summers titled "What Moves Stock Prices?"
On most of the sizable return days [large market moves]...the information that the
press cites as the cause of the market move is not particularly important. Press reports on
adjacent days also fail to reveal any convincing accounts of why future profits or discount
rates might have changed. Our inability to identify the fundamental shocks that accounted
for these significant market moves is difficult to reconcile with the view that such shocks
account for most of the variation in stock returns.

Prices move in trends

Technical analysts believe that prices trend directionally, i.e., up, down, or
sideways (flat) or some combination. The basic definition of a price trend was originally
put forward by Dow Theory.
An example of a security that had an apparent trend is AOL from November 2001
through August 2002. A technical analyst or trend follower recognizing this trend would
look for opportunities to sell this security. AOL consistently moves downward in price.
Each time the stock rose, sellers would enter the market and sell the stock; hence the
"zig-zag" movement in the price. The series of "lower highs" and "lower lows" is a tell
tale sign of a stock in a down trend. In other words, each time the stock moved lower, it
fell below its previous relative low price. Each time the stock moved higher, it could not
reach the level of its previous relative high price.
Note that the sequence of lower lows and lower highs did not begin until August.
Then AOL makes a low price that doesn't pierce the relative low set earlier in the month.
Later in the same month, the stock makes a relative high equal to the most recent relative
high. In this a technician sees strong indications that the down trend is at least pausing
and possibly ending, and would likely stop actively selling the stock at that point.

History tends to repeat itself

Technical analysts believe that investors collectively repeat the behavior of the
investors that preceded them. "Everyone wants in on the next Microsoft," "If this stock
ever gets to $50 again, I will buy it," "This company's technology will revolutionize its
industry, therefore this stock will skyrocket" these are all examples of investor
sentiment repeating itself. To a technician, the emotions in the market may be irrational,
but they exist. Because investor behavior repeats itself so often, technicians believe that
recognizable (and predictable) price patterns will develop on a chart.

Technical analysis is not limited to charting, but it always considers price trends.
For example, many technicians monitor surveys of investor sentiment. These surveys
gauge the attitude of market participants, specifically whether they are bearish or bullish.
Technicians use these surveys to help determine whether a trend will continue or if a
reversal could develop; they are most likely to anticipate a change when the surveys
report extreme investor sentiment. Surveys that show overwhelming bullishness, for
example, are evidence that an uptrend may reverse the premise being that if most
investors are bullish they have already bought the market (anticipating higher prices).
And because most investors are bullish and invested, one assumes that few buyers
remain. This leaves more potential sellers than buyers, despite the bullish sentiment. This
suggests that prices will trend down, and is an example of contrarian trading.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

STOCK MARKETS IN INDIA

Stock exchanges are the perfect type of market for securities whether of
government and semi-government bodies or other public bodies as also for shares and
debentures issued by the joint-stock companies. In the stock market, purchases and sales
of shares are affected in conditions of free competition. Government securities are traded
outside the trading ring in the form of over the counter sales or purchase. The bargains
that are struck in the trading ring by the members of the stock exchanges are at the fairest
prices determined by the basic laws of supply and demand.
Definition of a stock exchange:
Stock exchange means anybody or individuals whether incorporated or not,
constituted for the purpose of assisting, regulating or controlling the business of buying,
selling or dealing in securities. The securities include:

Shares of public company.

Government securities.

Bonds

Functions of Stock Exchanges:

Stock exchanges provide liquidity to the listed companies. By giving quotations to
the listed companies, they help trading and raise funds from the market. Over the hundred
and twenty years during which the stock exchanges have existed in this country and
through their medium, the central and state government have raised crores of rupees by
floating public loans. Municipal corporations, trust and local bodies have obtained from
the public their financial requirements, and industry, trade and commerce- the backbone
of the countrys economy-have secured capital of crores or rupees through the issue of
stocks, shares and debentures for financing their day-to-day activities, organizing new
ventures and completing projects of expansion, diversification and modernization. By
obtaining the listing and trading facilities, public investment is increased and companies
were able to raise more funds. The quoted companies with wide public interest have
enjoyed some benefits and assets valuation has become easier for tax and other purposes.

Various Stock Exchanges in India:

At present there are 23 stock exchanges recognized under the securities contracts
(regulation), Act, 1956. Major of them:

Ahmadabad Stock Exchange Association Ltd.

Bombay stock Exchange

Bangalore Stock Exchange

Calcutta Stock Exchange

Cochin Stock Exchange Ltd.

Coimbatore Stock Exchange

Delhi Stock Exchange Association

Guwahati Stock Exchange Ltd

Hyderabad Stock Exchange Ltd.

Jaipur Stock Exchange Ltd

Kanara Stock Exchange Ltd

Madras Stock Exchange

Madhya Pradesh Stock Exchange Ltd.

Meerut Stock Exchange Ltd.

National Stock Exchange of India

Pune Stock Exchange Ltd.

Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange Association

Vadodara Stock Exchange Ltd.

Out of these major stock exchanges were:

National Stock Exchange (NSE):
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the
High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which
recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to
provide access to investors from all across the country on an equal footing. Based on the
recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions at the behest of

the Government of India and was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying

company unlike other stock exchanges in the country. On its recognition as a stock
exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE
commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment in June 1994.
The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced operations in November 1994 and
operations in Derivatives segment commenced in June 2000.
NSE's mission is setting the agenda for change in the securities markets in India. The
NSE was set-up with the main objectives of:

Establishing a nation-wide trading facility for equities and debt instruments.

Ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an appropriate
communication network.

Providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to investors using

electronic trading systems.

Enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements systems, and

Meeting the current international standards of securities markets.

The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices and technology, have become
industry benchmarks and are being emulated by other market participants. NSE is more
than a mere market facilitator. It's that force which is guiding the industry towards new
horizons and greater opportunities.

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE):

The Stock Exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as "BSE" was established in
1875 as "The Native Share and Stock Brokers Association". It is the oldest one in Asia,
even older than the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which was established in 1878. It is a
voluntary non-profit making Association of Persons (AOP) and is currently engaged in

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI):

The securities and exchange board of India was constituted in 1988 under a
resolution of government of India. It was later made statutory body by the SEBI act
1992.according to this act, the SEBI shall constitute of a chairman and four other
members appointed by the central government. With the coming into effect of the
securities and exchange board of India act, 1992 some of the powers and functions
exercised by the central government, in respect of the regulation of stock exchange were
transferred to the SEBI.

OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONS OF SEBI:

To protect the interest of investors in securities.

Regulating the business in stock exchanges and any other securities market.

Registering and regulating the working of intermediaries associated with

securities market as well as working of mutual funds.

Promoting and regulating self-regulatory organizations.

Regulating substantial acquisition of shares and takeover of companies.

SEBI GUIDELINES TO SECONDARY MARKETS: (STOCK

EXCHANGES):
Board of Directors of Stock Exchange has to be reconstituted so as to include
non-members, public representatives and government representatives to the extent of
50% of total number of members.

Capital adequacy norms have been laid down for the members of various
stock exchanges depending upon their turnover of trade and other factors.

All recognized stock exchanges will have to inform about transactions within
24 hrs.

Buying and selling shares:

To buy and sell the shares the investor has to locate register broker or sub broker
who render prompt and efficient service to him. The order to buy or sell specifying the
number of shares of the company of investors choice is placed with the broker. The
order may be of any type. After receiving the order the broker tries to execute the order in
his computer terminal. Once matching order is found, the order is executed. The broker
then delivers the contract note to the investor. It gives the details regarding the name of
the company, number of shares bought, price, brokerage, and the date of delivery of
share. In this physical trading form, once the broker gets the share certificate through the
clearing houses he delivers the share certificate along with transfer deed to the investor.
The investor has to fill the transfer deed and stamp it. The stamp duty is one of the
percentage considerations, the investor should lodge the share certificate and transfer

deed to the register or transfer agent of the company. If it is bought in the DEMAT form,
the broker has to give a matching instruction to his depository participant to transfer
shares bought to the investors account. The investor should be account holder in any of
the depository participant. In the case of sale of shares on receiving payment from the
purchasing broker, the broker effects the payment to the investor.

Share groups:
The scripts traded on the BSE have been classified into A,B1,B2,C,F and
Z groups. The A group represents those, which are in the carry forward system. The
F group represents the debt market segment (fixed income securities). The Z group
scripts are of the blacklisted companies. The C group covers the odd lot securities in
A, B1&B2 groups.

ROLLING SETTLEMENT SYSTEM:

Under rolling settlement system, the settlement takes place n days (usually 1, 2, 3
or 5days) after the trading day. The shares bought and sold are paid in for n days after the
trading day of the particular transaction. Share settlement is likely to be completed much
sooner after the transaction than under the fixed settlement system.
The rolling settlement system is noted by T+N i.e. the settlement period is n days
after the trading day. A rolling period which offers a large number of days negates the
advantages of the system. Generally longer settlement periods are shortened gradually.
SEBI made RS compulsory for trading in 10 securities selected on the basis of the
criteria that they were in compulsory demats list and had daily turnover of about Rs.1
crore or more. Then it was extended to A stocks in Modified Carry Forward Scheme,
Automated Lending and Borrowing Mechanism (ALBM) and Borrowing and lending
Securities Scheme (BELSS) with effect from Dec 31, 2001.
SEBI has introduced T+5 rolling settlement in equity market from July 2001 and
subsequently shortened the cycle to T+3 from April 2002. After the T+3 rolling
settlement experience it was further reduced to T+2 to reduce the risk in the market and
to protect the interest of the investors from 1st April 2003.

Activities on T+1:
Conformation of the institutional trades by the custodian is sent to the stock
exchange by 11.00 am. A provision of an exception window would be available for late
confirmation. The time limit and the additional changes for the exception window are
dedicated by the exchange.

The exchanges/clearing house/ clearing corporation would process and download the
obligation files to the brokers terminals late by 1.30 p.m on T+1. Depository participants
accept the instructions for pay in securities by investors in physical form up to 4 p.m and
in electronic form up to 6 p.m. the depositories accept from other DPs till 8p.m for same
day processing.

Activities on T+2:
The depository permits the download of the paying in files of securities and funds
till 10.30 am on T+2 from the brokers pool accounts. The depository processes the pay
in requests and transfers the consolidated pay in files to clearing House/clearing
Corporation by 11.00am/on T+2. The exchange/clearing house/clearing corporation
executes the pay-out of securities and funds latest by 1.30 p.m on T+2 to the depositories
and clearing banks. In the Demat mode net basis settlement is allowed. The buy and sale
positions in the same scrip can be settled and net quantity has to be settled

The analysis makes a separation between operating and financing items in the
financial statements. This is inspired by the Modigliani and Miller notion that it is the
operating activities that generate value, not the (zero net-present-value) financing
activities. The separation also arises from an appreciation that financial assets and
liabilities are typically close to market value in the balance sheet and thus are already
valued, but not so the operating assets and liabilities.

The distinction is a feature of the accounting-based valuation model in Feltham

and Ohlson (1995) and of economic profit versions of the residual income model.
Recent FASB statements have required many financial assets to be marked to market.

But, correspondingly, unrealized gains and losses are now recognized in comprehensive
income and these, like all income line items, have to be considered in a ratio analysis.

Our structured approach to identifying ratios contrasts to the purely empirical

approach in Ou and Penman (1989). That paper identified ratios that predicted earnings
changes in the data.

No thought was given to the identification; indeed there was no justification that
earnings changes are the appropriate attribute to forecast for valuation. The approach here
also contrasts to that in Lev and Thiagarajan (1993) who defer to expert judgment and
identify ratios that analysts actually use in practice.

State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank in India.

The bank traces its ancestry back through the Imperial Bank of India to the
founding in 1806 of the Bank of Calcutta, making it the oldest commercial bank in the
Indian Subcontinent. The Government of India nationalized the Imperial Bank of India in
1955, with the Reserve Bank of India taking a 60% stake, and renamed it the State Bank
of India. In 2008, the Government took over the stake held by the Reserve Bank of India.
SBI provides a range of banking products through its vast network in India and overseas,
including products aimed at NRIs. The State Bank Group, with over 16000 branches, has
the largest branch network in India. With an asset base of $250 billion and $195 billion in
deposits, it is a regional banking behemoth. It has a market share among Indian
commercial banks of about 20% in deposits and advances, and SBI accounts for almost
one-fifth of the nations loans.
SBI has tried to reduce its over-staffing through computerizing operations and Golden
handshake schemes that led to a flight of its best and brightest managers. These managers
took the retirement allowances and then went on the become senior managers at new
private sector banks.
The State bank of India is 29th most reputable company in the world according to Forbes.

History:
The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first decade of 19th century, when
the Bank of Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806.
The Bank of Bengal and two other Presidency banks, namely, the Bank of Bombay
(incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843).
All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies, and were the
result of the royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper

currency in 1861 with the Paper Currency Act, a right they retained until the formation of
the Reserve Bank of India.
The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the reorganized
banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India
continued to remain a joint stock company.
Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act (1955), the Reserve
Bank of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the
Imperial Bank of India. On 30 April 1955 the Imperial Bank of India became the State
Bank of India. The Govt. of India recently acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in
SBI so as to remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking
regulatory authority

Branches
The corporate center of SBI is located in Mumbai. In order to cater to different functions,
there are several other establishments in and outside Mumbai, apart from the corporate
center. The bank boasts of having as many as 14 local head offices and 57 Zonal Offices,
located at major cities throughout India. It is recorded that SBI has about 10000 branches;
well networked to cater to its customers.

ATM Services
SBI provides easy access to money to its customers through more than 8500
ATMs in India. The Bank also facilitates the free transaction of money at the ATMs of
State Bank Group, which includes the ATMs of State Bank of India as well as the
Associate Banks State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur, State Bank of hyd, State Bank of
Indore, etc. You may also transact money through SBI Commercial and International

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 Icecaps 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 approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the
High Court of Gujarat at Ahmadabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of
Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the
merger, the ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail,
have been integrated in a single entity. ICICI Bank has formulated a Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics for its directors and employees

History
Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited, more popularly known as
HDFC Bank Ltd, was established in the year 1994, as a part of the liberalization of the
Indian Banking Industry by Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It was one of the first banks to
receive an 'in principle' approval from RBI, for setting up a bank in the private sector.
The bank was incorporated with the name 'HDFC Bank Limited', with its registered
office in Mumbai. The following year, it started its operations as a Scheduled
Commercial Bank. Today, the bank boasts of as many as 1412 branches and over 3275
ATMs across India.

Amalgamations
In 2002, HDFC Bank witnessed its merger with Times Bank Limited (a private
sector bank promoted by Bennett, Coleman & Co. / Times Group). With this, HDFC and
Times became the first two private banks in the New Generation Private Sector Banks to
have gone through a merger. In 2008, RBI approved the amalgamation of Centurion
Bank of Punjab with HDFC Bank. With this, the Deposits of the merged entity became
Rs. 1,22,000 crore, while the Advances were Rs. 89,000 crore and Balance Sheet size
was Rs. 1,63,000 crore.

Tech-Savvy
HDFC Bank has always prided itself on a highly automated environment, be it in
terms of information technology or communication systems. All the braches of the bank
boast of online connectivity with the other, ensuring speedy funds transfer for the clients.
At the same time, the bank's branch network and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs)
allow multi-branch access to retail clients. The bank makes use of its up-to-date
technology, along with market position and expertise, to create a competitive advantage
and build market share.

billion), of this the paid-up amount is Rs 424.6 crore (Rs.4.2 billion). In terms of equity
share, the HDFC Group holds 19.4%. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have around
28% of the equity and about 17.6% is held by the ADS Depository (in respect of the

From the above graph it is observed that all the banks i.e., SBI, ICICI, HDFC
Showing positive values and they are positively correlated. This means that,
If one bank prices increases than automatically other bank prices also increases.
If one bank prices decreases than other bank prices also decreases.

CALCULATION OF BETA
Beta: Measures volatility or systemic risk compared to the market

BETA= COVARIANCE OF MARKET AND SBI / VARIANCE OF MARKET

VARIANCE OF A MARKET = 1.2098

CO-VARIANCE OF MARKET AND SBI = 1.7621
BETA = 1.7621/1.2098 = 1.46

CO-VARIANCE OF MARKET AND ICICI = 1.6085

BETA = 1.6085/1.2098 = 1.33

CO-VARIANCE OF MARKET AND HDFC = 0.8697

BETA = 0.8697/1.2098 = 0.60

Fig: 3 Beta values of SBI, ICICI, HDFC Banks.

INTERPRETATION:
Beta of 1 Indicates that the securities price will move with the market .A beta less
than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market .A beta of greater
than 1 indicates that the securities price will be more volatile than the market.
From the above graph it is clearly showing that SBI and ICICI prices are more
Volatile than the market and HDFC prices are less volatile than the market.
High beta stocks are supposed to be riskier but provide a potential for higher return
And low beta stocks poses less risk but also lower returns.

CHAPTER 6
FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION

6.1 FINDINGS
The following facts were found out during the project work

It observed that an average rate of return of SBI Bank is 0.25, and ICICI Bank is
0.24. Where as the risk (i.e. standard deviation) is 0.28 and 0.24 .That means the
risk is higher and the returns are low. Where as HDFC bank has an average rate
of return of 0.23 and the risk is 1.45. When compare to three banks HDFC bank
having low risk.

As far as risk factor is considered SBI Bank is having maximum risk(standard

deviation )of 2.28 at the same time it gives the high returns of 0.25 when
compare to ICICI, HDFC Banks.

All the banks i.e., SBI, ICICI, HDFC are positively correlated, which means if
prices of one bank increases means other banks prices also increases and vice
versa.

Beta values of SBI bank is 1.44 and ICICI bank is 1.33 which is more
volatile than the market and they are riskier but they provide a high returns.
Where as Beta value of HDFC bank is 0.60 which is less volatile than the
market, and they are less risky with less return.

6.2 SUGGESTIONS

When we want the high returns, we have to bear high risk. But if we bear high
risk it is meaningless to invest our hard earned income. In this present project the
highest earned income is obtained by the bank SBI which is 0.25

But it is posing this degree of risk of 2.28. So in order to get the more returns
from minimum risk we have to analysis the factor like company back ground
,performance, market value and historical data. It is suggested to all investors to
analyze fundamental as well as technical.

But among all the securities, HDFC Ltd is best with its minimum returns and low
risk as compared to SBI and ICICI Bank Ltd.

6.3 CONCLUSION

Investment is financial asset require a great concentration since they are involved
a great volatility. Risk is uncertainty in the future returns when one invests in financial
assets. To reduce this risk component in the returns one has to be careful enough in
estimating the future of their investment returns. This project has been undertaken to
study the returns of securities listed on stock exchanges. These equities are analyzed in
terms of risk and return. The present study reveals the process of expecting the returns
which the investor can use investment process.
