1.1 Overview of Indian Financial Market

Origin of Indian Stock Market

The origin of the stock market in India goes back to the end of the eighteenth century when long-
term negotiable securities were first issued. However, for all practical purposes, the real
beginning occurred in the middle of the nineteenth century after the enactment of the companies
Act in 1850, which introduced the features of limited liability and generated investor interest in
corporate securities. An important early event in the development of the stock market in India
was the formation of the native share and stock brokers 'Association at Bombay in 1875, the

m
o
precursor of the present day Bombay Stock Exchange. This was followed by the formation of

.cperiods to recede into oblivion

associations/exchanges in Ahmedabad (1894), Calcutta (1908), and Madras (1937). In addition, a

a
large number of ephemeral exchanges emerged mainly in buoyant
during depressing times subsequently.
Stock exchanges are intricacy inter-wovena
m
in the fabric of a nation's economic life. Without a

y n the sinews of economic progress and productive

stock exchange, the saving of the community-

d The task of mobilization and allocation of savings could

efficiency-would remain underutilized.

tu
be attempted in the old days by a much less specialized institution than the stock exchanges. But
as business andSindustry expanded and the economy assumed more complex nature, the need for
'permanent finance' arose. Entrepreneurs needed money for long term whereas investors
demanded liquidity – the facility to convert their investment into cash at any given time. The
answer was a ready market for investments and this was how the stock exchange came into
being.
Stock exchange means anybody of individuals, whether incorporated or not, constituted for the
purpose of regulating or controlling the business of buying, selling or dealing in securities. These
securities include:
(i) Shares, scrip, stocks, bonds, debentures stock or other marketable securities of a like nature in
or of any incorporated company or other body corporate;
(ii) Government securities; and
(iii) Rights or interest in securities.
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (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 the two leading exchanges and
account for about 80 per cent of the equity volume traded in India. The NSE and BSE are equal
in size in terms of daily traded volume. The BSE has over 6000 stocks listed. Most key stocks
are traded on both the exchanges and hence the investor could buy them on either exchange.
Both exchanges have a different settlement cycle, which allows investors to shift their positions
on the bourses. The primary index of BSE is BSE Sensex comprising 30 stocks. NSE has the
S&P NSE 50 Index (Nifty) which consists of fifty stocks. The BSE Sensex is the older and more
widely followed index.
m
c o
Both these indices are calculated on the basis of market capitalization and contain the heavily
.
a
traded shares from key sectors. The markets are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Both the

m
exchanges have switched over from the open outcry trading system to a fully automated

a
computerized mode of trading known as BOLT (BSE on Line Trading) and NEAT (National
Exchange Automated Trading) System.
y n
d
It facilitates more efficient processing, automatic order matching, faster execution of trades and
transparency; the scrip'su
groups. The 'A'S
t traded on the BSE have been classified into 'A', 'B1', 'B2', 'C', 'F' and 'Z'
group shares represent those, which are in the carry forward system (Badla). The
'F' group represents the debt market (fixed income securities) segment. The 'Z' group scrip's are
the blacklisted companies. The 'C' group covers the odd lot securities in 'A', 'B1' & 'B2' groups
and Rights renunciations. The key regulator governing Stock Exchanges, Brokers, Depositories,
Depository participants, Mutual Funds, FIIs and other participants in Indian secondary and
primary market is the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Ltd.
Structure of Indian Financial Market

In general, the financial market divided into two parts, Money market and capital market.
Securities market is an important, organized capital market where transaction of capital is
facilitated by means of direct financing using securities as a commodity. Securities market can
be divided into a primary market and secondary market.

PRIMARY MARKET
The primary market is an intermittent and discrete market where the initially listed shares are
traded first time, changing hands from the listed company to the investors. It refers to the process
through which the companies, the issuers of stocks, acquire capital by offering their stocks to
investors who supply the capital. In other words primary market is that part of the capital
m
o
markets that deals with the issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector

done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process.

c
institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically

a of selling new issues to investors is

m
called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is called an initial public offering
(IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is a

yn
built into the price of the security offering, though it
can be found in the prospectus.
d
SECONDARY MARKET tu
The secondaryS market is an on-going market, which is equipped and organized with a place,
facilities and other resources required for trading securities after their initial offering. It refers to
a specific place where securities transaction among many and unspecified persons is carried out
through intermediation of the securities firms, i.e., a licensed broker, and the exchanges, a
specialized trading organization, in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the
exchanges.

A bit about history of stock exchange they say it was under a tree that it all started in 1875.
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was the major exchange in India till 1994. National Stock
Exchange (NSE) started operations in 1994.
NSE was floated by major banks and financial institutions. It came as a result of Harshad Mehta
scam of 1992. Contrary to popular belief the scam was more of a banking scam than a stock
market scam. The old methods of trading in BSE were people assembling on what is called a ring
in the BSE building. They had a unique sign language to communicate apart from all the
shouting. Investors weren't allowed access and the system was opaque and misused by brokers.
The shares were in physical form and prone to duplication and fraud.
NSE was the first to introduce electronic screen based trading. BSE was forced to follow suit.
The present day trading platform is transparent and gives investors prices on a real time basis.
With the introduction of depository and mandatory dematerialization of shares chances of fraud
reduced further. The trading screen gives you top 5 buy and sell quotes on every scrip.
m
o
A typical trading day starts at 9.00 am ending at 3.30 pm. Monday to Friday. BSE has 30 stocks

.c
which make up the Sensex .NSE has 50 stocks in its index called Nifty. FII s Banks, financial

a
institutions mutual funds are biggest players in the market. Then there are the retail investors and

m
speculators. The last ones are the ones who follow the market morning to evening; Market can be
very addictive like blogging though stakes a

yn
are higher in the former.

MARKET BASICS d
t u
STrading:
• Electronic
Electronic trading eliminates the need for physical trading floors. Brokers can trade from their
offices, using fully automated screen-based processes. Their workstations are connected to a
Stock Exchange's central computer via satellite using Very Small Aperture Terminus (VSATs).
The orders placed by brokers reach the Exchange's central computer and are matched
electronically.

• Exchanges in India:
The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are the country's
two leading Exchanges. There are 20 other regional Exchanges, connected via the Inter-
Connected Stock Exchange (ICSE). The BSE and NSE allow nationwide trading via their VSAT
systems.
 • Index:
An Index is a comprehensive measure of market trends, intended for investors who are
concerned with general stock market price movements. An Index comprises stocks that have
large liquidity and market capitalization. Each stock is given a weight age in the Index equivalent
to its market capitalization. At the NSE, the capitalization of NIFTY (fifty selected stocks) is
taken as a base capitalization, with the value set at 1000. Similarly, BSE Sensitive Index or
Sensex comprises 30selected stocks. The Index value compares the day's market capitalization
vis-à-vis base capitalization and indicates how prices in general have moved over a period of
time.

• Execute an Order:
m
c o
Select a broker of your choice and enter into a broker-client agreement and fill in the client
.
a
registration form. Place your order with your broker preferably in writing. Get a trade

m
confirmation slip on the day the trade is executed and ask for the contract note at the end of the
trade date.
a
yn
• Need a Broker:
d
t u
As per SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India.) regulations, only registered members can

Smarket. One can trade by executing a deal only through a registered broker
operate in the stock
of a recognized Stock Exchange or through a SEBI-registered sub-broker.

• Contract Note:
A contract note describes the rate, date, time at which the trade was transacted and the brokerage
rate. A contract note issued in the prescribed format establishes a legally enforceable relationship
between the client and the member in respect of trades stated in the contract note. These are
made in duplicate and the member and the client both keep a copy each. A client should receive
the contract note within 24 hours of the executed trade.
 • Split:
A Split is book entry wherein the face value of the share is altered to create a greater number of
shares outstanding without calling for fresh capital or altering the share capital account. For
example, if a company announces a two-way split, it means that a share of the face value of Rs
10 is split into two shares of face value of Rs 5 each and a person holding one share now holds
two shares.

• Buy Back:
As the name suggests, it is a process by which a company can buy back its shares from
shareholders. A company may buy back its shares in various ways: from existing shareholders on

m
a proportionate basis; through a tender offer from open market; through a book-building process;

c o
from the Stock Exchange; or from odd lot holders. A company cannot buy back through
.
a
negotiated deals on or off the Stock Exchange, through spot transactions or through any private

m
arrangement.

a
• Settlement Cycle:
y n
d
The accounting period for the securities traded on the Exchange. On the NSE, the cycle begins

t
on Wednesday and ends u the following Tuesday, and on the BSE the cycle commences on
on

Son Friday. At the end of this period, the obligations of each broker are
Monday and ends
calculated and the brokers settle their respective obligations as per the rules, bye- laws and
regulations of the Clearing Corporation. If a transaction is entered on the first day of the
settlement, the same will be settled on the eighth working day excluding the day of transaction.
However, if the same is done on the last day of the settlement, it will be settled on the fourth
working day excluding the day of transaction.

• Auction:
An auction is conducted for those securities that members fail to deliver/short deliver during pay-
in. Three factors primarily give rise to an auction: short deliveries, un-rectified bad deliveries,
and un-rectified company objections.
 • Rolling Settlement:
The rolling settlement ensures that each day's trade is settled by keeping a fixed gap of a
specified number of working days between a trade and its settlement. At present, this gap is five
working days after the trading day. The waiting period is uniform for all trades. In a Rolling
Settlement, all trades outstanding at end of the day have to be settled, which means that the buyer
has to make payments for securities purchased and seller has to deliver the securities sold. In
India, we have adopted the T+5 settlements cycle, which means that a transaction entered into on
Day 1 has to be settled on the Day 1 + 5 working days, when funds pay in or securities pay out
takes place.

Advantages of Rolling Settlements

m
c o
As mentioned earlier, this is the system practiced in developed countries. Pay outs are quicker
.
a
than in weekly settlements, and investors will benefit from increased liquidity. The other benefit

m
of the modified system is that it keeps cash and forward markets separate. In the current system,

a
the trader has five days to square off his transaction which leads to a high level of speculation as

y n
people even without funds tend to "play" the market. During volatile markets, especially in a

d
bearish market, this often leads to a payment problem which has dogged the Indian stock

t u provides for a higher degree of safety, and once mechanisms such

exchanges for a long time. It

S become popular, it would result in quality speculation and genuine

as futures and stock-lending
investor interest.

• Short Selling:
Short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. It is a sale of a security that the seller does not own,
or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers
take the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at
which they "sold short."The selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is
completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller, Short sellers assume that they
will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold short.
 • Separate Market for Auctions:
The buy/sell auction for a capital market security is managed through the auction market. As
opposed to the normal market where trade matching is an on-going process, the trade matching
process for auction starts after the auction period is over. If the shares are not bought at the
auction, i.e., if the shares are not offered for sale, the Exchange squares up the transaction as per
SEBI guidelines. The transaction is squared up at the highest price from the relevant trading
period till the auction day or at 20 per cent above the last available Closing price whichever is
higher. The pay-in and pay-out of funds for auction square up is held along with the pay-out for
the relevant auction.

• Bad Delivery:
m
c o
SEBI has formulated uniform guidelines for good and bad delivery of documents. Bad delivery
.
a
may pertain to a transfer deed being torn, mutilated, overwritten, defaced, or if there are spelling

m
mistakes in the name of the company or the transfer. Bad delivery exists only when shares are

a
transferred physically. In "Demat" bad delivery does not exist.

yn
• Dematerialization:
d
t u
Dematerialization in short called as 'demat' is the process by which an investor can get physical

S into electronic form maintained in an account with the Depository

certificates converted
Participant. The investors can dematerialize only those share certificates that are already
registered in their name and belong to the list of securities admitted for dematerialization at the
depositories.

• Depository:
The organization responsible to maintain investor's securities in the electronic form is called the
depository. In other words, a depository can therefore be conceived of as a "Bank" for securities.
In India there are two such organizations viz. NSDL and CDSL. The depository concept is
similar to the Banking system with the exception that banks handle funds whereas a depository
handles securities of the investors. An investor wishing to utilize the services offered by a
depository has to open an account with the depository through Depository Participant.
 • Depository Participant:
The market intermediary through whom the depository services can be availed by the investors
is called a Depository Participant (DP). As per SEBI regulations, DP could be organizations
involved in the business of providing financial services like banks, brokers, custodians and
financial institutions. This system of using the existing distribution channel (mainly constituting
DPs) helps the depository to reach a wide cross section of investors spread across a large
geographical area at a minimum cost. The admission of the DPs involves a detailed evaluation by
the depository of their capability to meet with the strict service standards and a further evaluation
and approval from SEBI. Realizing the potential, all the custodians in India and a number of
banks, financial institutions and major brokers have already joined as DPs to provide services in
m
o
a number of cities.

OFFLINE TRADING
Offline trading got on the track in India in 1875 after the establishment of Bombay Stock
d
tu
Exchange. Traditionally stock trading is done through stock brokers, personally or through

S
telephones.
As number of people trading in stock market increase enormously in last few years, some issues–
 location constrains
 busy phone lines

 miscommunication etc
started growing in stock broker offices. Information technology (Stock Market Software) helped
stock brokers in solving these problems with Online Stock Trading.
 m

a
m
ONLINE TRADING
a
yn
d
Online Stock Market Trading is an internet based stock trading facility. Investor can trade

tu
shares through a website without any manual intervention from Stock Broker.

S
Online trading arrived in India around Year 2000. Somewhere in the nineties there was a whole
move to make shares electronic and fungible (like currency notes, a share are a share) and
move them to the dematerialized (demat) form. Slowly, from the physical world, shares moved
into the digital world at the NSDL. Then, trading became electronic.

First it was a few of the blue chips, then it was most of the blue chips and slowly it has taken
over most of the market. New issues are today, exclusively electronic. If digitization took care of
the back end, it has also made life easy at the front end. The act of placing buy/sell orders for
financial securities and/or currencies with the use of a brokerage's internet-based proprietary
trading platforms. The use of online trading increased dramatically in the mid to late-'90s with
the introduction of affordable high-speed computers and internet connections.
RAPID GROWTH
With introduction of online trading, the growth has been exceptionally good for the stock
markets in India.
 In the back of wide ranging reforms in regulation and market practice as also the growing
participation of foreign institutional investment, stock markets in India have showed
phenomenal growth since the early 1990s.
 Investor base continued to grow from domestic and international markets. The value of
share trading witnessed a sharp jump too.
 Stock markets became intensely technology and process driven, giving little scope for

m
manual intervention that has been the source of market abuse in the past.

o
Electronic trading, digital certification, straight through processing, electronic contract

.c
notes, online broking have emerged as major trends in technology.
 a of payment defaults.
Risk management became robust reducing the recurrence
m

a
Product expansion took place in a speedy manner. Indian equity markets now offer, in

yn
addition to trading in equities, opportunities in trading of derivatives in futures and

d
options in index and stocks.

m
c o
Major issues
.
a
 Internet-based trading, to become really popular, should have both seamless trading and

m
a
seamless settlement; whereas now only the former is possible this prevents the Internet

yn
broking community from announcing large-scale reductions in brokerage.
 Ease of trading and settlement along with reduction in transaction costs is what investors
d
tu
look for in the new system. Hence, bankers and DPs will have to change their systems to

S
enable seamless settlements.
 At present, when the client pays an advance deposit, the broker fixes the exposure limit,
and if there is a sudden fluctuation in the share price, the client is not able to trade unless
funds move to the broker physically. This process takes a minimum of two days, by
which time the price would have changed. The ideal situation is where the client is able
to trade on the basis of his deposit in the bank, which will be accessible to the broker
through networking.
 Another serious issue is the efficiency of the Internet infrastructure in the country, which
affects the speed of execution. During the day, traffic is so great that either the line is not
available or it is frustratingly slow, defeating the very purpose of Net-based trading.
 In short, seamless settlement of Net transactions and improvement of the Internet
infrastructure are of vital importance for exponential growth of Internet-based trading.

1. Equity S
Equity investments generally refers to the buying and holding of share of stock on a stock market
by individuals and firms in anticipation of income from dividends and capital gain as the value of
the stock rises. It also sometimes refers to the acquisition of equity (ownership) participation in a
private (unlisted) company or a start-up (a company being created or newly created).When the
investment is in infant companies, it is referred to as venture capital investing and is generally
understood to be higher risk than investment in listed going-concern situations.
The equities held by private individuals are often held via mutual funds or other forms of pooled
investment vehicle, many of which have quoted prices that are listed in financial newspapers or
magazines; the mutual funds are typically managed by prominent fund management firms. Such
holdings allow individual investors to obtain the diversification of the fund(s) and to obtain the
skill of the professional fund managers in charge of the fund(s).
 2. Derivatives
Since derivatives instrument provide good leverage opportunity, it is a great tool for speculation.
Leverage is a double edge sword for which one requires an equity advisor. Their advisors will
also help them with various strategies like Bull Spread, Bear Spread, Cover call writing, hedging
strategies etc. This is to help them to make better trading returns. The Equity Advisor doesn‟t
stop at just that, he goes a step further to ensure that client‟s trades are settled and traded with
proper margin in their account in a timely manner. This allows them to give them a convenient
single window service and their advisor becomes the single point contact for all their equity
related matters.

m
3. Insurance

.c

their clients with objective based

tu

S
MOSL through their insurance partners offers insurance coverage and wealth creation
opportunities to meet client‟s different financial goals during the various stages of client‟s life.
The plans offer them the control to manage their protection and investment in one account. It is
designed to remove their worries and making them secure in the knowledge that they and their
loved ones are protected against any untoward events.
4. Mutual Fund
A mutual fund is just the connecting bridge or a financial intermediary that allows a group of
investors to pool their money together with a predetermined investment objective. The mutual
fund will have a fund manager who is responsible for investing the gathered money into specific
securities (stocks or bonds). When they invest in a mutual fund, they are buying units or portions
of the mutual fund and thus on investing becomes a shareholder or unit holder of the fund.
Mutual funds are considered as one of the best available investments as compare to others they
are very cost efficient and also easy to invest in, thus by pooling money together in a mutual
fund, investors can purchase stocks or bonds with much lower trading costs than if they tried to
do it on their own. But the biggest advantage to mutual funds is diversification, by minimizing
risk & maximizing returns.
5. IPO
IPO or 'New Issues' is it is better known, are a source of great enthusiasm and excitement among
investors across the country. At PRS IPO Desk, they carefully analyze, prepare research notes
and recommend IPO for their clients to invest in. Their IPO Team does rigorous analysis on the

m
quality of new issue, the company's track record and its business plans. More importantly, it

o
critically evaluates the pricing of the issue and its friendliness. Given the background and
cthe Quality issues out of a series
experience of PRS RESEARCH TEAM they are able to identify
.
of new issues that hit the market. a
6. Depository Services m
adepository holds securities (like shares, debentures,
n
A depository can be compared to a bank. A
bonds, Government Securities, y
securities, a depository also d
units etc.) of investors in electronic form. Besides holding

u
t through its agents called Depository Participant (DPs). If an investor
provides services related to transactions in securities. A depository

S
interfaces with the investors
wants to avail the services offered by the depository, the investor has to open an account with a
DP. This is similar to opening an account with any branch of a bank in order to utilise the bank's
services.
7. Commodity
Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is an independent commodity exchange based in India. It
was established in 2003 and is based in Mumbai. The turnover of the exchange for the period
Apr-Dec 2011 was INR 32 Trillion. MCX offers futures trading in Agricultural Commodities,
Bullion, Ferrous & Non-ferrous metals, Pulses, Oils & Oilseeds, Energy, Plantations, Spices and
other soft commodities.
 8. Corporate Fixed Deposits
Corporate fixed deposits are similar to banking FD's, except that the money invested is with a
company and not a bank. Deposits under corporate FD's are governed by the Companies Act
under Section 58A. However, these deposits are unsecured, On the other hand, companies FD's
apart from giving a superior interest rate than banks, also provide investors with a short-term
deposits option with only a six month lock in period as well as the benefit of having no income
text deducted at source if the interest income is up to Rs 5,000 in one financial year. Investments
can also be spread in more than one company, so that interest from one company does not exceed
Rs 5,000.

m
Corporate FD' s however do not change their rates during a six month to one year period, which

o
provides stability to the investment, These deposits, while are not very large from a big
c and exclusion of investors.
The interest paid by the companies is usually on a halfa
.
company's point of view end up running more on a constant addition
yearly basis. Majority of the companies

m
who raise money via fixed deposits have quarterly interest payouts and the interest vary from
9-13% based on the option one chooses. a

yinn
With such large fixed deposit issues available in the
market, mutual funds may lose out investors who invest in their fixed income products, and
dfixed income market space.

2.2 SCOPE of the Study
The scope of the project is to study and know about Indian Stock Market and Indian Financial
System. By studying the Online Trading, a clear option of dealing in stock exchange is been
understood. Unlike olden days the concept of trading manually is been replaced for fast
interaction of shares of shareholder. By this one can access anywhere and know the present
dealings in shares.
In outcry, the broker has to buy or sell securities for which he has received the orders. For
this, the broker or his authorized representatives goes to the stock exchange. Basically
the broker shouts while buying or selling the securities. The floor of the stock exchange is

m
divided into a number of market also „post pit‟ or wing based on particular securities dealt there.

o
In the post pit or wing, the broker using „open outcry‟ method makes an offer or bid price. For
making the necessary bargain, he codes his purchase or salesc
. price, also known as offer or bid
aown price quotation of the dealer suits
price. The dealer, to whom the price is quoted, quotes his
m
athe dealer sell as well as the broker makes a brief
the broker, he may lose the bargain. If he is not satisfied with the quote price he may turn to

nnotes are made on some pad and on it the number of

some other dealer .On the close of the bargain,
ySuch
dthe name of the party, what membership number etc., are noted.
notes of the particulars of the deal.

u
The disadvantagest of outcry system are it lack transparency, the scope
shares, the price agreed upon,

S
of manipulation, Inaudibility and also speculation and malpractice is more, in order to overcome
the above problems, online trading came in to existence. Hence the need to study the advantages
of online trading system and its importance in making the market operations and smooth while
retaining the flexibility of conventional trading practices.
Since the year 2000 a big boom has been witnessed in the Indian Stock Market when the market
showed the coming up of Online Trading System. Many online stock trading companies came
but initially due to lack of online trading some companies vanished and some survived. The
companies which survived are getting the handsome returns also attracting the foreign
Investment Companies. Nowadays this sector is facing cut-throat competition and also provides
huge growth prospects. The study then goes to evaluate and analyze the findings so as to present
a clear picture of the trends in the online trading sector.

CONCLUSIONS

CONCLUSIONS

The online trading is growing with a rapid pace with the rising level of education among the
customers. The other factors being that the Indian Investor nowadays wants to deal himself in
trading rather than depending upon other middlemen. They also consider the factors like time
saving in doing the online transactions, convenience etc. Although some people feel that online
trading is not secure but the people doing the trading online is happy about the increasing
security concerns among the companies. The year 2010 has not been so good for the stock
market and the SENSEX and NIFTY has been dipping and affecting the business negatively for
these companies. This is due to the fact that at these times people do not prefer to open the
m
o
DMAT and Trading accounts. So the companies have to reduce their account opening fees to

.c
attract more and more customers. Also people trade very less in the bearish market and the

a
company‟s profits against brokerage fees soars downwards. It is also a found fact that during the

m
bearish market the ratio of online trading becomes very less. Also there is an intense competition
aup with new and new promotion schemes such as
discounted and negotiable brokerages,n
among the companies and the companies come

y Zero balance accounts, waiving a/c opening fee and AMC

d is growing in India this business holds a huge potential for
tu
etc. As the internet penetration
growth.
S
New ideas are to be implemented to catch the customers. The strategy of giving more benefits to
the high end customers is very useful. Because stock market is a volatile market, anything can
happen to this market. But then again if anyone study the market well he can earn a lot. Again
like every coin has its two sides, similarly every financial instrument has its own features, its
advantage & disadvantage. So finally investor himself/herself has to decide where to invest.

The mantra for success in the current situation will be educating the customers about the
benefits of online trading and the amount of ROI that can be generated through it.

The total trading volume of brokerage companies has increased from US$1239.1 billion in 2008
to US$ 1492.1 billion in 2011, and is expected to reach US$ 6535.7 billion by 2015.
