In such a scenario, investing in equity, which offers returns that are higher than the
inflation rate, help to build wealth and to improve the standard of living. It is fine that
stock market fluctuates over time. At present as far as the world economy is concerned it
is on a boom. As soon as globalization and liberalization has come into act it has well
shaped the economy. India has turned out to be the hot destination for the money
investors and this has resulted growth in the sensex .It was never hoped before that BSE
will ever touch the mark of 16000 points. But only due to the new economic
opportunities and the confidence of people in India’s economic future it has been
successful .Investing in equity is the way to earn money and to fulfill the dreams. The
risk involved with investing in equity can be moderated by careful stock selection and
close monitoring.
In recent years the 6.5 percent tax-free RBI Bonds have become a very popular saving
instrument -- especially amongst individuals. Till 1996, these bonds gave returns of 10
per cent. This came down to 9 per cent and then 8 percent and then in 2003 it was
reduced to 6.5 per cent (tax free). Nowadays, 8 percent taxable Government of India
bonds are also doing well to attract investors who want safe and higher yield.
However, with inflation at nearly 4.5%, the return offered by these instruments were still
attractive. However, with the scrapping of the tax-free bonds, safe investment options for
individuals have become very limited and people are now choosing to go with either post
office saving schemes or equity related instruments.
Take a look at what is happening. Debt funds, which were said to be relatively risk-free,
are giving very less returns. Monthly Income Plans offered by mutual funds are also not
attractive as their portfolio is made up of 80 percent debt and 20 percent equity. With debt
giving very less returns and returns from equity becoming stagnant, the returns from
MIPs are also very attractive. The returns offered by MIPs are totally dependant upon the
type of security and debt instruments held by the fund But with recent rally in the stock
market, very few people are now going for MIPs and have a very positive sentiment
about the market and would like to stay with the market for long. But continuously we
still have a single question in mind:
The person in the 30 percent tax bracket, the 8 per cent RBI bonds will give returns of
approximately 5.6 per cent. Though this is much lower than the previous 6.5 percent, it is
still a better than most other options. If you are a senior citizen, the Senior Citizens
Savings scheme offering a 9 Percent yearly interest is a good investment option. The
scheme was announced in the Budget 2006-2007 and was meant for people above the age
of 60. However, this scheme has a maximum deposit limit of Rs. 15 lacs while RBI
Bonds do not have any limit. In this case, the term for deposit is five years with a facility
for premature withdrawal. The 9 percent returns are subject to tax, so if you are in the 30
percent tax bracket, you will effectively get returns of 6.3 per cent.
Another option can be Floating Rate Bond Fund offered by mutual funds. Basically, these
funds invest in floating rate instruments and therefore have a direct correlation to interest
rates. If interest rates go up the returns from these funds rise and returns fall with a fall in
interest rates. This is unlike debt funds, where there is a reverse relationship between
interest rates and returns. A rise in interest rates results in a fall in returns. In the current
scenario, these funds are likely to give returns of 5 percent to 5.5 percent. The dividends
are tax-free in the hands of the investor and most importantly, there is complete liquidity.
Again, there is no limit on the amount that can be deposited. Also, there is hardly any
volatility making it a safe option. If you are willing to take a bit of risk, you can divide
your portfolio in such a way that 60 percent is invested in floating rate bond funds and
the remaining 40 percent in equity. That's like having an MIP except that instead of 80
percent in debt and 20 percent in equity, here the 60 percent is in floating rate bond funds.
Such a portfolio can give you returns of aprox. 8.5 % to 9.5 %.
The NSCs and the Kisan Vikas Patras give returns of 8 percent so for those in the 30
percent tax bracket, it works out to 5.6 percent. Here too there is no limit on the amount
of deposit. However, here the interest is posted only at the time of maturity. So it is not a
good option if you want regular returns. On the other hand, RBI Bonds give returns every
six months or half yearly. So, depending upon their risk profile and need for liquidity,
one will have to decide on their portfolio. For anyone below 35 years, it is recommend
that one should invest some part of there portfolio in RBI Bonds and in NSCs, KVPs as a
long term investments and the remaining in combination of floating rate bond funds and
equity But for those above 35, it is advocate that one should look at nearly 40 percent in
RBI Bonds, 30 percent in NSCs, KVPs, hence giving safe and regular income. And the
remaining 30 per cent in floating rate bond funds and equity. For those above the age of
60, 40 percent must be put in the Senior Citizens Scheme (of course, this is up to a
maximum limit of Rs 15 lakh), another 40 percent in RBI Bonds and the remaining 20
percent in floating rate bond funds, so that one has some liquidity.As an investor one has
a wide array of investment avenues available to one

Financial Derivatives
• Bank deposits
Equity Shares - Equity shares represent ownership capital. As an equity shareholder, you
have an ownership stake in the company. This essentially means that you have a residual
interest in income and wealth. Perhaps, the most romantic among various investment
avenues, equity shares are classified into the following broad categories by stock market
analysts:
• Blue chip shares
• Growth shares
• Income shares
• Cyclical shares
• Speculative shares
Bonds - Bonds or debentures represent long-term debt instruments. The issuer of a bond
promises to pay a stipulated steam of cash flow. Bonds may be classified into the
following categories:
• Government securities
• PSU bonds
• Preference shares
Money Market Instruments - Debt instruments which have a maturity of less than one
year at the time of issue are called money market instruments. The important money
market instruments are:
• Treasury bills
• Commercial paper
• Certificates of deposits
Mutual Funds - Instead of directly buying equity shares and/or fixed income
instruments, you can participate in various schemes floated by mutual funds which, in
turn, invest in equity shares and fixed income securities. There are three broad types of
mutual fund schemes:
• Equity schemes
• Debt schemes
• Balanced schemes
Life Insurance - In a broad sense, life insurance may be viewed as an investment.
Insurance premiums represent the sacrifice and the assured sum the benefit. The
important types of insurance policies in India are:
• Endowment assurance policy
Real Estate - For the bulk of the investors the most important asset in their portfolio is a
residential house. In addition to a residential house, the more affluent investors are likely
to be interested in the following types of real estate:
• Agricultural land
• Semi-urban land
Precious Objects - Precious objects are items that are generally small in size but highly
valuable in monetary terms. Some important precious objects are:
• Precious stones
• Art objects
Financial Derivatives - A financial derivative is an instrument whose value is derived
from the value of an underlying asset. It may be viewed as a side bet on the asset. The
most important financial derivatives from the point of view of investors are:
• Options
• Futures
Since every individual would like to earn return on their investment but where to invest
has always been a problem. There has always been a confusion as to which instrument to
invest, which instrument will give me higher returns, etc. Even now nuclear families are
in and so are longer life spans. Even inflation is increasing and so do the standard of life,
medical costs, and other things. In such a scenario, one need to think as to how he will
take care of all his future needs and build up a corpus that will not only take care of
routine expenses but also provide for extra costs, especially of health care. One need to
have a corpus of funds, post-retirement, which will give him close to 100% of the salary
to preserve the lifestyle he has grown to enjoy.
Commodity Market
Any product that can be used for commerce or an article of commerce which
is traded on an authorized commodity exchange is known as commodity. The article
should be movable of value, something which is bought or sold and which is produced or
used as the subject or barter or sale. In short commodity includes all kinds of goods.
Indian Forward Contracts (Regulation) Act (FCRA), 1952 defines “goods” as “every kind
of movable property other than actionable claims, money and securities”.
Commodity exchange
A commodity exchange is an association or a company or any other body
corporate organizing futures trading in commodities for which license has been granted
by regulating authority.
Commodity Futures
A Commodity futures is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a
specified and standardized quantity of a commodity at a certain time in future at a price
agreed upon at the time of entering into the contract on the commodity futures exchange.
The need for a futures market arises mainly due to the hedging function that it can
perform. Commodity markets, like any other financial instrument, involve risk associated
with frequent price volatility. The loss due to price volatility can be attributed to the
following reasons:
Gradually sellers & buyers started making commitments to exchange the produce
for cash in future and thus contract for “futures trading” evolved. Where the producer
would agree to sell his produce to the buyer at a future delivery date at an agreed upon
price. In this way producer was aware of what price he would fetch for his produce and
dealer would know about his cost involved, in advance. This kind of agreement proved
beneficial to both of them. As if dealer is not interested in taking delivery of the produce,
he could sell his contract to someone who needs the same. Similarly producer who not
intended to deliver his produce to dealer could pass on the same responsibility to
someone else. The price of such contract would dependent on the price movements in
the wheat market. Latter on by making some modifications these contracts transformed in
to an instrument to protect involved parties against adverse factors such as unexpected
price movements and unfavorable climatic factors. This promoted traders entry in futures
market, which had no intentions to buy or sell wheat but would purely speculate on price
movements in market to earn profit.
Trading of wheat in futures became very profitable which encouraged the entry
of other commodities in futures market. This created a platform for establishment of a
body to regulate and supervise these contracts. That’s why Chicago Board of Trade
(CBOT) was established in 1848. In 1870 and 1880s the New York Coffee, Cotton and
Produce Exchanges were born. Agricultural commodities were mostly traded but as long
as there are buyers and sellers, any commodity can be traded. In 1872, a group of
Manhattan dairy merchants got together to bring chaotic condition in New York market to
a system in terms of storage, pricing, and transfer of agricultural products. In 1933,
during the Great Depression, the Commodity Exchange, Inc. was established in New
York through the merger of four small exchanges – the National Metal Exchange, the
Rubber Exchange of New York, the National Raw Silk Exchange, and the New York Hide
Exchange.
In India there are 25 recognized future exchanges, of which there are three
national level multi-commodity exchanges. After a gap of almost three decades,
Government of India has allowed forward transactions in commodities through Online
Commodity Exchanges, a modification of traditional business known as Adhat and Vayda
Vyapar to facilitate better risk coverage and delivery of commodities. The three
exchanges are: National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX)
Mumbai, Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) Mumbai and National
Multi-Commodity Exchange of India Limited (NMCEIL) Ahmedabad.There are other
regional commodity exchanges situated in different parts of India.

The Chicago Board of Trade
The first commodity exchange established in the world was the Chicago
Board of Trade (CBOT) during 1848 by group of Chicago merchants who were keen to
establish a central market place for trade. Presently, the Chicago Board of Trade is one of
the leading exchanges in the world for trading futures and options. More than 50
contracts on futures and options are being offered by CBOT currently through open
outcry and/or electronically. CBOT initially dealt only in Agricultural commodities like
corn, wheat, non storable agricultural commodities and non-agricultural products like
gold and silver.
Commodities Traded: - Corn, Soybean, Oil, Soybean meal, Wheat, Oats, Ethanol,
Rough Rice, Gold, Silver etc.
For commodity futures to work, the seller should be able to deposit the
commodity at warehouse nearest to him and collect the warehouse receipt. The buyer
should be able to take physical delivery at a location of his choice on presenting the
warehouse receipt. But at present in India very few warehouses provide delivery for
specific commodities.
Following diagram gives a fair idea about working of the Commodity market.
Today Commodity trading system is fully computerized. Traders need not
visit a commodity market to speculate. With online commodity trading they could sit in
the confines of their home or office and call the shots.

Current Scenario in Indian Commodity Market
Need of Commodity Derivatives for India
NMCE is third national level futures exchange that has been largely trading in
Agricultural Commodities. Trade on NMCE had considerable proportion of commodities
with big market size as jute rubber etc. But, in subsequent period, the pattern has changed
and slowly moved towards commodities with small market size or narrow commodities.
Analysis of volume contributions on three major national commodity exchanges reveled
the following pattern, Major volume contributors: - Majority of trade has been
concentrated in few commodities that are
Trade strategy
It appears that speculators or operators choose commodities or contracts where the
market could be influenced and extreme speculations possible. In view of extreme
volatilities, the FMC directs the exchanges to impose restrictions on positions and raise
margins on those commodities. Consequently, the operators/speculators chose another
commodity and start operating in a similar pattern. When FMC brings restrictions on
those commodities, the operators once again move to the other commodities. Likewise,
the speculators are moving from one commodity to other (from methane to Urad to guar
etc) where the market could be influenced either individually or with a group.
Beneficiaries: - So far the beneficiaries from the current nature of trading are
Arbitragers
Operators
In order to understand the extent of progress the trading the trading in Commodity
Derivatives has made towards its specified objectives (price discovery and price risk
management), the current trends are juxtaposed against the specification
Specified and actual pattern of futures trade:-
No wide spread participation of all stake holders of commodity markets. The actual
benefits may be realized only when all the stake holders in commodity market including
producers, traders, consumers etc trade actively in all major commodities like rice, wheat,
cotton etc.
Some Suggestions to make futures market as a level playing field for all stake
holders:-
• Creation of awareness among farmers and other rural participants to use the
futures trading platform for risk mitigation.
• Contract specifications should have wider coverage, so that a large number of
varieties produced across the country could be included.
• Development of warehousing and facilities to use the warehouse receipt as a
financial instrument to encourage participation farmers.
• Development of physical market through uniform grading and
standardization and more transparent price mechanisms.
• Delivery system of exchanges is not good enough to attract investors. E.g.- In
many commodities NCDEX forces the delivery on people with long position
and when they tend to give back the delivery in next month contract the
exchange simply refuses to accept the delivery on pretext of quality
difference and also auctions the product. The traders have to take a delivery
or book losses at settlement as there are huge differences between two
contracts and also sometimes few contracts are not available for trading for
no reason at all.
• Contract sizes should have an adequate range so that smaller traders can
participate and can avoid control of trading by few big parties.
• Setting of state level or district level commodities trading helpdesk run by
independent organization such as reputed NGO for educating farmers.
• Warehousing and logistics management structure also needs to be created at
state or area level whenever commodity production is above a certain share of
national level.
• Though over 100 commodities are allowed for Derivatives trading, in
practice only a few commodities derivatives are popular for trading. Again
most of the trade takes place only on few exchanges. This problem can
possibly solved by consolidating some exchanges.
• Only about 1% to 5% of total commodity derivatives traded in country are
settled in physical delivery due to insufficiencies in present warehousing
system. As good delivery system is the back bone of any Commodity trade,
warehousing problem has to be handled on a war footing.
• At present there are restrictions in movement of certain goods from one state
to another. These needs to be removed so that a truly national market could
develop for commodities and derivatives.
• Regulatory changes are required to bring about uniformity in Octri and sales
tax etc. VAT has been introduced in country in 2005, but, has not yet been
uniformly implemented by all states.
• A difficult problem in Cash settlement of Commodities Derivatives contract
is that, under Forward Contracts Regulation Act 1952 cash settlement of
outstanding contracts at maturity is not allowed. That means outstanding
contracts at maturity should be settled in physical delivery. To avoid this
participants square off their their positions before maturity. So in practice
contracts are settled in Cash but before maturity. There is need to modify the
law to bring it closer to the wide spread practice and save participants from
unnecessary hassle.
1. Investing in Commodity Market
Suppose An investor want to invest in the commodity Market and he/she wants to
purchase steel from the market then he/she will go through following stages-
2. Categories of steel
4. After considering the factor he/she should know which factor will affect the
demand and supply of steel.
The duty imposed on import of steel and its fractions also have an impact on steel prices.
The price trend in steel in Indian markets has been a function of World’s economic
activity. Prices of input materials of iron and steel such as power tariff, fright rates and
coal prices, also contribute to the rise in the input costs for steel making.
Price movement)
Daily price limits 4%
Initial margin 5%
Special margin In case of additional volatility, a special margin of 2%
or such other percentage, as deemed fit, will be
imposed immediately on, both buy and sale side in
respect of all outstanding position, which will remain in
force of next three days, after which the special margin
will be relaxed.

Average rate of return of SBI is lesser than that of its market returns. So, the returns are
better than the market returns. Since standard deviation of SBI equity is less than its
market, the risk is likely less compared to that of market.
Lower the beta and higher the funds performance is the better equity for investment. One
might expect the best performance by funds with low diversification because they
apparently are attempting to beat the market by being unique in their selection or timing.
Considering only the rate of return, all the equities outperformed the market.
NAV growth
NAV is the total asset value (net of expenses) per unit of the fund and is calculated
by the Asset Management Company (AMC) at the end of every business day. Net
asset value on a particular date reflects the realizable value that the investor will
get for each unit that he is holding if the scheme is liquidated on that date
NAV per share = Current value of fund holdings / No. of fund shares
Eg: Rs.100, 000 / 3,333 = 30
The NAV is calculated by dividing the current value of the portfolio by the number
of fund shares outstanding. For open-ended mutual funds, new shares are issued as
money flows into the fund. Likewise, the number of shares outstanding is reduced
as investments are redeemed. The NAV increases as the value of the portfolio's
holdings increase. For example, if a share of a stock fund costs Rs.30 today and
Rs.18 one year ago, there has been a gain (or profit) of Rs.12 a share, or about
66%, before fund expenses. The change in a fund's NAV determines its
performance. Comparing NAV performance enables investors to differentiate
funds on a relative basis.
4. Investment in Derivatives
A few basis strategies which investor can take into consideration while investing into the
market-
1) If Nifty is at or below 1900 at expiration, the call holder would not find it
profitable to exercise the option and would loose the entire premium, i.e. Rs.4000
in this example. If at expiration, Nifty is between 1900 (the strike price) and 1920
(breakeven), the holder could exercise the calls and receive the amount by which
the index level exceeds the strike price. This would offset some of the cost.
2) The holder, depending on the market condition and his perception, may sell the
call even before expiry.
1) If Nifty is at or above the strike price 1840 at expiration, the put holder would not
find it profitable to exercise the option and would loose the entire premium, i.e.
Rs.3400 in this example. If at expiration, Nifty is between 1840 (the strike price)
and 1823 (breakeven), the holder could exercise the puts and receive the amount
by which the strike price exceeds the index level.
2) The holder, depending on the market condition and his perception, may sell the put
even before expiry.
The data collected for the study purpose is through questionnaires. One hundred
customers and non consumer were selected randomly for the study purpose and then the
information revealed from the customers is analyzed and interpreted in the study.
Initial field work has to be done for testing tools for data collection. The data was
collected through the direct interaction with the customers & non consumers through
questionnaires answered by them.
Secondary Data:
The data that is used in this project is also in the form of secondary nature.
The data is collected from secondary sources such as various websites, journals,
newspapers, books, etc. the analysis used in this project has been done using selective
technical tools. In Equity market, risk is analyzed and trading decisions are taken on basis
of technical analysis. It is collecting share prices of selected companies for a period of
five years.
Sampling plan
Sampling: Since I have selected commodities segment to do market research. 100%
coverage was difficult within the limited period of time. Hence sampling survey
method was adopted for the purpose of the study.
Population: Since this survey has to be completed in 3 months that’s why total no of
customers those who are investing in the market can’t be taken.
Sampling size: I am taking sample of hundred for the purpose of the study. Sample
consisted of small investors, large investors and traders.
Sampling procedure: From large number of customers & non consumers sample lot,
I am selecting particular area churchgate were through my questionnaire I will do my
survey and as churchgate is one of the area where I will get mixture of the traders.

4. STANDARD DEVIATION
σ = Square root ((∑mean return -expected return)^2/N)
The beta coefficient is a key parameter in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). It
measures the part of the asset's statistical variance that cannot be mitigated by the
diversification provided by the portfolio of many risky assets, because it is correlated
with the return of the other assets that are in the portfolio.
