INVESTORS BEHAVIOUR
It is a well documented empirical fact in the finance literature that there is significant heterogeneity
across individuals in investment behaviours such as the decision to invest in the stock market and
the choice of asset allocation.
1 Are individual investors genetically predisposed to certain behaviours and born with a persistent
set of abilities and preferences which affect their decisions in the financial domain Or is investment
behaviour to a signifcant extent shaped by environmental factors, such as parenting or individual-
specific experiences? These questions are fundamental for our understanding of the behaviour
of individual investors, but so far existing research has not offered much systematic evidence on
them. In this paper, we seek to ll this void by estimating the extent to which nature, i.e. ,genetic
variation across individuals, versus nurture or other environmental treatments explain the
observed heterogeneity in investment decisions. To decompose the variance of three important
7/31/2019 New Project of Unicon 31.Docx
9/62
measures of investment behaviour stock market participation, the relative amount invested in
equities (share of equities) and portfolio volatility into genetic and environmental components, we
examine identical and fraternal twins. The intuition of our identification strategy is right forward:
if individuals who are more closely related genetically(e.g., identical twins) tend to be more similar
on measures of investment behaviour, then this is Evidence for that behaviour being, at least
partially, caused by a genetic factor. Using data on twins Allows us to identify an unobservable
genetic component and environmental components that are either common (shared) or non-shared
among twins. Our data on 37,504twins are from the Swedish Twin Registry, which maintains and
manages the worlds largest database of twins. Until the abolishment of the wealth tax in Sweden
in 2006, the law required all financial institutions to report information to the Swedish Tax Agency
about assets an individual owned as of December 31 of that year. This allows us to compile a
matched data set of twins and their complete financial portfolio

Stan Weinstein
Stan Weinstein is a financial expert. His company, Global Trend Alert, is located in South Florida,
USA. It is a financial consulting investments firm. Its clientele has faced some of the most difficult
financial and management problems in business and industry, and Weinstein Associates has helpedthem navigate this landscape.
The firm itself is strictly an invesmtnet advistory service directed at the institutional moneymanager. . 70% of its clientele is based in the United States, but with the world doing business
globally on more and more frequent basis, Weinstein Associates expects to expand operations
globally, too.
In fact, Stan Weinstein stock advice is so timeless that in 1988 he wrote a book called Weinstein's
Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets. Even though it's more than 20 years old at thispoint, this is considered a bible of sorts to those in the trading industry. Weinstein's stock advice is
based upon four market cycles or "stages" for that stock. Instead of trading as many investors dotoday by betting on current events or "today's news," the idea is to trade on future trends as the
professionals do.
This particular type of investing has revolutionized the way people invest their money, as long as
they follow Weinstein's system. Proponents say that you can literally glance at a price chart and
find a good trade immediately, once you know what you're doing. The key is to look for recurring
patterns and trends; a little practice lets you see where there can be money made.
Among the principals in his stage analysis technique is that, for example, it's better to buy stocks
during uptrends, and better to sell short during downtrends. When put that starkly, of course, thissounds like good common sense, but in fact, many small investors actually do the opposite.

Although institutional aspects in Japan have been improved to encourage the holdingof
investment trusts by individual investors, it cannot yet be said that investment trusts
havepermeated the individual investor market. One reason for this is that the improvement
of related systems was conducted without sufficient understanding of the reasons behind the
investment behavior of individual investors. By focusing on the buying and sellingof investment trusts by individual investors, and examining such behaviour from a
behaviouralfinance perspective, phenomena such as realize profits quickly when in the black, butdefer taking losses when in the red and selecting funds based on the level of unit price can
beobserved. If these characteristics of buying and selling behaviour by individual investors
aretaken into consideration, it is clear that many investment trusts have room to rethink the wayinwhich they manage their funds. In addition, to promote t he holding of long-term positionsin
investment trusts, purchasing methods such as the dollar-cost averaging method may beeffective.

This report conducted an analysis focusing on investment trusts. However, other assets including
savings deposits and shareholdings must be considered when analyzingindividual asset
management decisions. Sales methods applied to investment trusts should be considered in thelight of the above points, on which subject future debate is also necessary.

requires more administrative planning and supervision. Interviewers bias. Also in order to get the
accurate data the researcher went to all the order to get the accurate data the researcher went to all

analysis but also need a constant tracking mechanism. As is the case globally, the Indian investor
has also realized the advantages of seeking professional advice in order to not only manage but
also augment his portfolio.
We at Unicon in our constant endeavor to bring to our esteemed clients globalmethodology have developed a proprietary model that has enabled us to outperform all major
indices with a fair degree of consistency, over the longer term. We continue to be positive of both
our approach and the Indian capital markets in general and especially so after UPAs landslide
mandate to guide the country over the next 5 years. However, we believe that the out-performance
is more stock-specific and the major indices only provide a barometer for evaluation. This view is
expected to only be enhanced going forward, with larger players entering the markets with globally
fine-tuned analytical tools.

SUGGESTIONS
From the survey;
7/31/2019 New Project of Unicon 31.Docx
55/62
1. Most of the customers got information about the company only through the share brokers. The
company should take necessary steps to concentrate on the advertisements. Through they areadvertising online, it is necessary to advertise in TV, radio, presses; only when they give these
kinds of advertisements they can get lots of customers. Also they have to go for boarding, which
can be viewed by everyone passing by.
2. The majority of the customers invest in shares to earn high returns in the short run. This is
facilitated through the demat account. All new issues are issued only in the demat form. Thebenefits of having a demat account must be explained to the customers.
3. It was found that maximum no of customer is investing in shares after a time gap of 3 months.
The company should explain the benefits of intraday (buy today and sell today) operations certaincustomers invest in shares with a long term on capital apperceptions. The benefits of short term
trading can be explained to the customers so that they may be persuaded to go in for the same.
4. There is a favorable feedback from the customers about brokerage charges as per transactions.This fact must be emphasized in advertisements and promotional leaflets mailed to potential
customers.
5. Many of the customers are not aware of my broker software. This usefulness should beexplained to them.
6. Customers with money to invest may be living in isolated areas with no proper telephone or
computer facility, the company may think of deputing relationship managers to help the customersthrough proper guidance and by passing on relevant information.
7. UNICON should concentrate on increasing their transaction time and services.
