History of Stock Broking

The history of stock brokers can be traced back to the origins of the first stock exchange in 1602

at Amsterdam. Even before that brokers are said to have existed in France dealing with

government securities. The Amsterdam Stock Exchange was involved in buying and selling of

shares for the Dutch East India Company. However, the first real stock exchange came up in

Philadelphia in the United States during the late 18th century. Later it was the New York stock

exchange which saw a rise in its popularity. Wall Street, as it was called, became the hub of

brokerage activities. Earlier stock brokers were largely unorganized, but later most of them

joined hands to form institutes and organizations. Till the 1980's stock broking services were

used only by the wealthy class who could afford them. Later with the advent of the Internet,

stock broking became very easy. Thus, the price tag on stock brokers lowered considerably and

their services became available even to the common man. The stock broking duties are now

mostly taken up by major organizations with the smaller companies being absorbed by them. In

India, too with increasing globalization the major corporations are penetrating deeper into the

society.

History of Stock Exchanges in India:

Stock markets refer to a market place where investors can buy and sell stocks. The price at which

each buying and selling transaction takes is determined by the market forces (i.e. demand and

supply for a particular stock). Let us take an example for a better understanding of how market

forces determine stock prices. ABC Co. Ltd. enjoys high investor confidence and there is an

anticipation of an upward movement in its stock price. More and more people would want to buy

this stock (i.e. high demand) and very few people will want to sell this stock at current market

price (i.e. less supply). Therefore, buyers will have to bid a higher price for this stock to match

the ask price from the seller which will increase the stock price of ABC Co. Ltd. On the contrary,

if there are more sellers than buyers (i.e. high supply and low demand) for the stock of ABC Co.

Ltd. in the market, its price will fall down. In earlier times, buyers and sellers used to assemble

at stock exchanges to make a transaction but now with the dawn of IT, most of the operations are

Page 2: History of stock broking waste

done electronically and the stock markets have become almost paperless. Now investors don‘t

have to gather at the

Exchanges, and can trade freely from their home or office over the phone or through

internet

REVIEWOFLITERATURE

Meaning

and definition: According to Philip Kotler ―Competitor Analysis refers to the process of

identifying key competitors, assessing their objectives, strategies, strength and weaknesses, and

reaction patterns, and selecting which competitors to attack or avoid.‖ Once a company

identifies its primary competitors, it must ascertain their strategies, objectives, strength and

weaknesses. Strategies: A group of firms following the same strategy in a given target market is

called a strategic group. Objectives: Once a company has identified its competitors and their

strategies, it must ask; what is each competitor seeking in the marketplace? What drives each

competitor‘s behavior? Many factors shape a competitor‘s objectives, including size, history,

current management, and

Financial situation. If the competitor is a division of a larger company, it is important to

know whether the parent company is running it for growth, profits, or milking it. Strengths and

Weaknesses: A company needs to gather information about each competitor‘s

strength and weaknesses. In general, a company should monitor three variables when analyzing

competitors:

1Share of market: the competitor‘s share of the target market.

2 Share of mind: the percentage of customers who named the competitor in responding to the

statement, ―Name the first company that comes to mind in this industry.‖

3.Share of heart: the percentage of customers who named the competitors in responding to the

statement, ―Name of the company from which you would prefer to buy the product.II

Companies that make steady gains in mind share and heart share will inevitably make gains in

market share and profitability. To improve market share, many companies benchmark their most

successful competitors, as well as other world-class performers.

Identifying competitors: Normally, identifying competitors would seem a simple task. At the

narrowest level, a company can define its competitors as other companies offering similar

products and services to the same customers at similar prices.

Page 5: History of stock broking waste

Assessing Competitors: Having identified the main competitors, marketing management now

asks: What are competitor‘s objectives—what does each seek in the marketplace? What is each

competitor‘s strategy? What are various competitor‘s strength and weaknesses, and how will

each react to actions the company might take?

Determining Competitor’s Objectives: Each competitor has a mix of objectives. The company

wants to know the relative importance that a competitor places on current profitability, market

share growth, cash flow, technological leadership, service leadership, and other goals. Knowing

a competitor‘s mix of objectives reveals whether the competitor is satisfied with its current

situation and how it might react to different competitive actions. For example, a company that

pursues low-cost leadership will react much more strongly to a competitor‘s cost-reducing

manufacturing breakthrough than to the same competitor‘s advertising increase.

Identifying Competitor’s Strategies: The more that one firm‘s resembles another firm‘s strategy,

the more the two firms complete. In most industries, the competitors can be sorted into groups

that pursue different strategies. A strategic group is a group of firms in an industry following the

same or a similar strategy in a given target market. Assessing Competitor’s Strength and

Weaknesses: Marketers need to assess each competitor‘s strength and weaknesses carefully in

order to answer the critical question: What can our competitors do? As a first step, companies

can gather data on each competitor‘s goals, strategies, and performance over the past few years.

Admittedly, some of this information will be hard to obtain. For example, business to business

marketers find it hard to estimate competitors‘ market shares because they do not have the same

syndicated data services that are available to consumer packaged-goods companies.Companies

normally learn about their competitors strength and weaknesses through secondary data, personal

experience, and word of mouth. They can also conduct primary marketing research with

customers, suppliers, and dealers. Or they can benchmark themselves against other firms,

comparing the company‘s products and processes to those of competitors or leading firms in

other industries to find ways to improve quality and performance. Benchmarking has become a

powerful tool for increasing a company‘s competitiveness. Estimating Competitor’s Reactions:

next, the company wants to know: what will our competitors do? A competitor‘s objectives,

strategies, and strength and weaknesses go a long way toward explaining its likely actions. They

also suggest its likely rections to company moves such as price cuts, promotion increases, or

new-product introductions. In addition, each competitor has a certain philosophy of doing

Page 6: History of stock broking waste

business, a certain internal culture and guiding beliefs. Marketing managers need a deep

understanding of a given competitor‘s mentality if they want to anticipate how the competitor

will act or react. Selecting competitors to Attack and Avoid A company has already largely

selected its major competitors through prior decisions on customer targets, distribution channels,

and marketing-mix strategy. Management now must decide which competitors to complete

against most vigorously.

. Strong or Weak Competitors: The company can focus on one of several classes of competitors.

Most companies prefer to complete against weak competitors. This requires fewer resources and

less time. But in the process, the firm may gain little. You could argue that the firm also should

complete with strong competitors in order to sharpen its abilities.

A useful tool for assessing competitor strengths and weaknesses is customer value analysis.

The aim of customer value analysis is to determine the benefits that target customers value and

how customers rate the relative value of various competitor‘s offers.

Close or Distant Competitors: Most companies will compete with close competitors- those that

resemble them most- rather than distant competitors. Thus, Nike competes more against Adidas

than against Timberland. And target competes with WalMart rather than against Neiman Marcus

or Nordstrom.

“Good” or “Bad” Competitors.A company really needs and benefits from competitors. The

existence of competitors results in several strategic benefits. Competitors may help increase total

demand. They may share the costs of market and product development and help to legitimize

new technologies. They may serve less-attaractive segments or lead to more product

differentiation. Finally, they lower the antitrust risk and improve bargaining power versus labor

or regulators. Competitive Strategies: Having identified and evaluated its major competitors, the

company now must design broad competitive marketing strategies by which it can gain

competitive advantage through superior customer value. But what broad marketing strategies

might the company use? Which ones are best for a particular company, or for the company‘s

different divisions and products? Basic competitive Strategies Almost three decades

ago ,Michael Porter suggested four basic competitive positioning strategies that companies can

follow- three winning strategies and one losing one. The three winning strategies include:

Overall cost leadership: Here the company works hard to achieve the lowest production

Page 7: History of stock broking waste

and distribution costs. Low costs let it price lower than its competitors and win a large market

share. Texas Instruments, Dell, and Wal-Mart are leading practitioners of this strategy.

Differentiation: Here the company concentrates on creating a highly diffentiated product line

and marketing program so that it comes across as the class leader in the industry. Most customers

would prefer to own this brand if its price is not too high. IBM and Caterpillar follow this

strategy in information technology and services and heavy construction equipment, respectively.

Focus: Here the company focuses its effort serving a few market segments well rather than

going after the whole market. A useful tool for assessing competitor strengths and weaknesses is

customer value analysis. The aim of customer value analysis is to determine the benefits that

target customers value and how customers rate the relative value of various competitor‘s offers.

SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses,

Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying

the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors

that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. SWOT Analysis has done during

the preparation of this project. It helps to analyses and evaluate the company‘s

strength/weaknesses and opportunity and threats. Company‘s strength and weakness helps to

understand their market strategies which they apply in the marketplace in order to attract new

customers as well as capturing the insight of existing customers also. Opportunity and threats

determines the company‘s new upliftment and what are the barriers comes in front of the

company which creates difficulties to enhance the market growth and increase in market share.

A SWOT Analysis is designed to identify the environment in which an organization is operating.

Doing so aids in the development of communication strategies. For the purpose of a swot

analysis, internal factors are those things over which and organization has some measure of

control. External factors are those things over which an organization as no control. Strengths

(positive internal factors): what do we see as our organization’s present strengths, especially as

they relate to the issues we presently confronting? Weaknesses (negative internal factors): what

are our organization‘s present weaknesses, especially as they relate to our competitors?

Remember that a competitor, in this context, does not necessarily mean a rival company,

product, service or point of view. It could be anything that competes for the attention of the

publics being targeted. Opportunities (positive external factors): what potential opportunities

exist in the future especially as they relate to the issues we are presently confronting? Threats

Page 8: History of stock broking waste

(negative external factors): what are the threats we face in the future and, therefore, must be

prepared to fact? Remember that a threat, in this context, does not necessarily mean a direct

threat. It can be anything that can prevent and organization from reaching its goals.

Company overview:

of rs.150000. it achieved its first milestone after its first investment in technology. Karvy

became a known name during the year 1985-86 when it Karvy was established as karvy and

company by five chartered accountants during the year 1979-80, and then its work was confined

to audit and taxation only. Later on it diversified into financial and accounting services during

the year 1981-82 with a capital forayed into capital market as registrar.

Evolution of KARVY:

Page 9: History of stock broking waste

It is well said that success is a journey not a destination and we can see it being proved

by karvy. Under this section we will see that how this ―karvy and company‖ of 1980 became

―karvy‖ of 2008. Karvy blossomed with the setting up of its first branch at Mumbai during the

year 1987-88. The turning point came in the year 1989 when it decided to enter into one of the

not only emerging rather potential field too i.e; stock broking. It added the feather of stock

broking into its cap. At the same time it became the member of Hyderabad Stock Exchange

through associate firm karvy securities ltd and then karvy never looked back……..it went on

adding services one after another, it entered into retail stock broking in the year 1990. Karvy

investor service centers were set up in the year 1992. Karvy which already enjoyed a wide

network through its investor service centers, entered into financial product distribution services

in the year 1993. One year more and karvy was now dealing into mutual fund services too in the

year 1994 but it didn‘t stopped there, it stepped into corporate finance and investment banking in

the year 1995. Karvy‘s strategy has always been being the first entrant in the market. Karvy

again hit the limelight by becoming the first registrar in the country to be awarded ISO 9002 in

the year 1997. Then it stepped into the other most happening sector i.e; IT enabled services by

establishing its own BPO units and at a gap of just 1 year it took the path of e-Business

through its website www.karvy.com . Then it entered into insurance services in the year 2001

with the launch of its retail arm ―karvy- the finapolis: your personal finance advisor‖.

Then in the year 2002 it launched its PCG(Private Client Group) which looks after its High

Networth Individuals .and maintain their portfolio and provides them with other financial

services. In the year 2003, it commenced secondary debt and WDM trading. It was a decade

which saw many Indian companies going global…..so why the largest financial service provider

of India should lag behind? Hence, karvy launched ―karvy global services limited‖ after

entering into a joint venture with Computershare, Australia in the year 2004.the year 2004 also

saw karvy entering into commodities marketing through karvy comtrade. Year 2005 saw karvy

establishing a separate branch for its insurance services under the head ― karvy insurance

broking ltd‖ and in the same year, after being impressed with the rapid growth of karvy stock

broking limited, PCG group of Hong Kong acquired 25% stake at KSBL. In the year 2006, karvy

entered into one of the hottest sector of present time i.e real estate through Karvy realty&

services (India) ltd. hence , we can see now karvy being established as the lagest financial

service provider of the country.

History of the Indian Stock Market - The Origin

One of the oldest stock markets in Asia, the Indian Stock Markets has a

200 years old history.

Year 1800 : East India Company was the dominant institution and by end of

the century, business in its loan securities gained full momentum. Year

1830 : Business on corporate stocks and shares in Bank and Cotton presses

started in Bombay. Trading list by the end of 1839 got broader Year 1840 :

Recognition from banks and merchants to about half a dozen brokers Year

1850 : Rapid development of commercial enterprise saw brokerage business

attracting more people into the business Year 1860 : The number of brokers

increased to 60 Year 1860-61 : The American Civil War broke out which

caused a stoppage of cotton supply from United States of America; marking

the beginning of the "Share Mania" in India Year 1862-63 : The number of

brokers increased to about 200 to 250 Year 1865 : A disastrous slump began

at the end of the American Civil War (as an example, Bank of Bombay Share

which had touched Rs. 2850 could only be sold at Rs. 87)

Pre-Independence Scenario - Establishment of Different Stock Exchanges

Year 1874 : With the rapidly developing share trading business, brokers

used to gather at astreet (now well known as "Dalal Street") for the purpose

of transacting business. Year 1875 : "The Native Share and Stock Brokers'

Association" (also known as "The Bombay Stock Exchange") was established

in Bombay Year 1880 : Development of cotton mills industry and set up of

Page 17: History of stock broking waste

many others Year 1894 : Establishment of "The Ahmedabad Share and

Stock Brokers' Association"

6. Pooling of group resources: Karvy group consists of eight subsidiaries, so it

can easily pool up its resources for accomplishment of its goals, whenever

needed. The groups can help each other whenever there are peaks and lows, and

even in the case when they have huge targets just as we saw few years back, Tata

group pooling its resources to acquire Corus.

Page 18: History of stock broking waste

4- Objective:

Share in the market offer a high capital appreciation but the movement of the share price is

always like a wave and tide motion of the sea. Volatility in the stock return is an integral part of

stock market with the alternating bull and bear phases. In the bullish market, the share prices soar

high and in the bearish market share prices fall down and these ups and downs determine the

return and volatility of the stock market. Volatility is a symptom of a highly liquid stock market.

Pricing of securities depends on volatility of each asset. It has an impact on business investment

spending and economic growth through a number of channels. Changes in local or global

economic and political environment influence the share price movements and show the state of

stock market to the general public. The issues of return and volatility have become increasingly

important in recent times to the Indian investors, regulators, brokers, policy makers, dealers and

researchers with the increase in the FIIs investment. Hence an analysis has been made to know

the volatility trend in the Indian stock market and the reasons for the bear and bull trend in the

market. Nifty and Sensex are taken as representative of Indian markets.

This project gave me opportunity to have an idea about volatility in stock market. This gave me

idea about and fundamental analysis in stock market and how trading is being done in stock

market.

The objectives of the project can be mentioned as below:

To study volatility in Indian stock market while taking SENSEX of Bombay stock

exchange as a source of secondary data which broadly represent Indian stock market

along with NIFTY of National Stock Exchange.

Build understanding of central ideas of stock market.

Develop familiarity with the analysis of stock market.

Furnish institutional material relevant for understanding the environment in which trading

decisions are taken.

Understanding of Bull Market and Bear Market.

Page 19: History of stock broking waste

This project will be helpful to know volatility in Indian Stock Market and reasons for such high volatility and would be able to take decisions for investment in volatile stock market
