Introduction
The term "investment" is used differently in economics and in finance. Economists refer to a real investment (such as a machine or a house), while financial economists refer to a financial asset, such as money that is put into a bank or the market, which may then be used to buy a real asset. Investment is the commitment of money or capital to purchase financial instruments or other assets in order to gain profitable returns in form of interest, income, or appreciation of the value of the instrument. In finance, investment is the commitment of funds by buying securities or other monetary or paper (financial) assets in the money markets, or in fairly liquid real assets, such as gold or collectibles. Valuation is the method for assessing whether a potential investment is worth its price. Returns on investments will follow the risk-return spectrum. The risk-return spectrum is the relationship between the amount of return gained on an investment and the amount of risk undertaken in that investment. Knowing what an asset is worth and what determines that value, is a perspective for intelligent decision making, in deciding on the appropriate price to pay or receive in a takeover, and in making investment, financing and dividend choices when running a business. Valuation plays a key role in many areas of finance, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions and portfolio management. Valuation is a process of determining current worth of an asset or a company. How much would an investor be willing to pay for an assets for its return generating potential? Investment is involved in many areas of the economy, such as business management, finance, households, firms, or governments. When we talk to any investment advisor, terms like asset class, diversification, etc keep cropping up. It is very important for a lay investor to understand these terms to make an informed decision. In this article we will discuss the basics of Asset class. Asset class is defined as a group of securities that exhibit similar characteristics, behave similarly in the marketplace, and are subject to the same laws and regulations. The three main
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
asset classes are equities (stocks), fixed-income (fixed deposits, bonds, etc) and cash and cash equivalents (like money market instruments). In addition to the three main asset classes, some investment professionals also add real estate and commodities (gold, silver, etc), and possibly other types of investments, to the asset class mix. Whatever the asset class lineup, each one is expected to reflect different risk and return investment characteristics, and will perform differently in any given market environment. Further breakup of asset classes depending on the nature of investment can be done as under :- equity into growth stocks, value stocks, based on market capitalizations (small cap, mid cap, large cap), debt instruments into government bonds, corporate bonds, small savings, public provident funds, etc.
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR Four broad classes of assets

SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Stocks or equities Fixed Income or bonds Money market or cash equivalents Real estate or other tangible assets
These are the classes of assets that are available to build a portfolio. You might notice that all stocks are lumped together, when individual stocks (or mutual funds for that matter) can be quite different. For example, a small-cap stock is not going to act the same way as General Electric. However, stocks are grouped together because they will, as a group, react more alike than any of the other three classes. The same thing is true for the other three classes. The purpose of having all four asset classes represented in your portfolio is to take advantage of the different strengths of each class. The whole theory of asset allocation is based on diversifying your portfolio by asset class. Many people xxx use Real Estate Investment Trusts and other more liquid investments to satisfy the real estate leg of the asset class tool.

1.EQUITY
Equity asset class investments refer to investment in share of a company. The investor expects regular return from equity in the form of Dividends and long term return in the form of Capital Gains due to appreciation in share price. If you are getting a risk adjusted return from Equity investments consistently, then you are meeting the objective of taking higher risk. Return from equity investments depends on the time horizon of holding and risk appetite. Thus equity investment is one of the best investments avenues for investors having higher risk taking ability and long term holding capacity. Following are the instruments available in the market as Equity Investment Options: Investment in shares of companies : Investing directly in listed stocks.
2. STOCKS
Nifty S&P CNX Nifty is a well diversified 50 stock index accounting for 21 different sectors of the economy. It is used for a variety of purposes such as benchmarking fund portfolios, index based derivatives and index funds. S&P CNX Nifty is owned and managed by India Index Services and Products Ltd. (IISL), which is a joint venture between NSE and CRISIL. IISL is Indias first specialized company focused upon the index as a core product. IISL has a Marketing and licensing agreement with Standard & Poors (S&P), who are world leaders in index services. S&P CNX Nifty is computed using market capitalization weighted method, wherein the level of the index reflects the total market value of all the stocks in the index relative to a particular base period. The method also takes into account constituent changes in the index and importantly corporate actions such as stock splits, rights, etc without affecting the index value. The base period selected for S&P CNX Nifty index is the close of prices on November 3, 1995, which marks the completion of one year of operations of NSE's Capital Market Segment. The base value of the index has been set at 1000 and a base capital of Rs.2.06 trillion. The traded value for the last six months of all Nifty stocks is approximately 44.89% of the traded value of all stocks on the NSE. It is a simplified tool that helps investors, to understand 8
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
what is happening in the stock market and by extension, the economy. This is because; the 50 companies which are listed under it are almost running the economy. They are the one who are responsible for smooth running of the Indian economy. If the value of these stocks are down then the market is down. . If the Nifty Index performs well, it is a signal that companies in India are performing well and consequently that the country is doing well. An upbeat economy is usually reflected in a strong performance of the Nifty Index. It is calculated as a weighted average, so changes in the share price of larger companies have more effect. The base is defined as 1000 at the price level of November 3, 1995 The Nifty Index is internationally respected and recognized as a pioneering effort in providing simpler understanding of stock market complexities. Nifty forms the benchmark for all investors details related to stocks. Criteria for inclusion of Stock in Nifty50

Average market capitalization of Rs.5,000 million or more during the last six months. Liquidity: Cost of transaction (impact cost) of less than 0.75% for more than 90% of trades, over six months. At least 12% floating stock (not held by promoters of the company or their associates)
Sensex SENSEX, first compiled in 1986, was calculated on a "Market Capitalization-Weighted" methodology of 30 component stocks representing large, well-established and financially sound companies across key sectors. The base year of SENSEX was taken as 1978-79. SENSEX today is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media. Sensex is scientifically designed and is based on globally accepted construction and review methodology. Since September 1, 2003, SENSEX is being calculated on a free-float market capitalization methodology. The "free-float market capitalization-weighted" methodology is a widely followed index construction methodology on which majority of global equity indices are based; all major index providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use the free-float methodology. The general criteria for selection of constituents in SENSEX are as follows :-
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Market capitalization: The company should have a market capitalization in the Top 100 market capitalizations of the BSE. Also the market capitalization of each company should be more than 0.5% of the total market capitalization of the Index.
Trading frequency: The company to be included should have been traded on each and every trading day for the last one year. Exceptions can be made for extreme reasons like share suspension etc.
Number of trades: The scrip should be among the top 150 companies listed by average number of trades per day for the last one year. Industry representation: The companies should be leaders in their industry group. Listed history: The companies should have a listing history of at least one year on BSE. Track record: In the opinion of the index committee, the company should have an acceptable track record.
Advantages of investing into equity markets and shares are Capital appreciation The prices of shares of some companies can appreciate much more in value than the other companies. Capital appreciation of value of shares can be much more than the appreciation in value of commodities like that of gold or silver Bonus shares When a person invests in shares of good company, the company may issue bonus shares. This will increase capital holding of the investor. This can also increase the amount of dividend that a person earns from these bonus shares in future. Dividend earnings Since many good growing companies are listed, they provide dividends. As a result of which the investor earns dividend. Some companies provide more than six percent dividend each year. The capital appreciation and other benefits for the investors alongwith dividends can thus rewarding for the investors. Long term benefits and return on investments.

There are no other investments over a long term outlook that gives a high returns like equity markets does. Liquid assets Listed shares can be easily liquidated due to availability of active market..
Equity Mutual Funds Pooled Investment vehicle. E.g. Diversified Equity Mutual Funds, Balanced Fund, Sector Fund, etc
3. MUTUAL FUNDS
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. When you invest in a mutual fund, you 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. Diversification is nothing but spreading out your money across available or different types of investments. By choosing to diversify respective investment holdings reduces risk tremendously up to certain extent. The most basic level of diversification is to buy multiple stocks rather than just one stock. Mutual funds are set up to buy many stocks. Beyond that, you can diversify even more by purchasing different kinds of stocks, then adding bonds, then international, and so on. It could take you weeks to buy all these investments, but if you purchased a few mutual funds you could be done in a few hours because mutual funds automatically diversify in a 11
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
predetermined category of investments (i.e. - growth companies, emerging or mid size companies, low-grade corporate bonds, etc). The mutual fund issues shares of stock (just like any other corporation) to investors in exchange for cash.
There are three ways in which the total returns provided by mutual funds can be enjoyed by investors: 1. Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays out nearly all income it receives over the year to fund owners in the form of a distribution. 2. If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital gain. Most funds also pass on these gains to investors in a distribution. If fund holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund shares increase in price. You can then sell your mutual fund shares for a profit. Funds will also usually give you a choice either to receive a check for distributions or to reinvest the earnings and get more shares
Diagram describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:
12
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
The value of the shares of mutual fund is readily determined. Each day, the accounting staff of a fund simply adds up the value of all the securities in the portfolio, adds in other assets, deducts liabilities, and comes up with a net overall value. It is then a simple matter to divide the net assets by the number of shares outstanding. This is called the net asset value, and is the price at which investors buy and sell shares from the fund. The net asset value is listed in the financial section of many major newspapers.
There are many entities involved and the diagram below illustrates the organizational set up of a mutual fund.

AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR Advantages of Investing in Mutual Funds
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Putting your money to work in mutual funds provides distinct advantages over other forms of investments. Diversification Diversification involves spreading your money around among several different kinds of investments in order to reduce the risk of concentrating in a single security .When your investments are diversified, you dont take a major hit if any one investment performs poorly. Thus, the savvy investor avoids concentrating all her investments in the stock of a single company, or even a single industry. Low entry cost You can get started in mutual fund investing with relatively little money a benefit when finances are tight, but youre mentally ready to roll with an investment experience. Professional management Mutual funds hire smart investment experts to manage your money, and they have access to extensive research into companies, economic conditions, and market trends. Most people would have a hard time keeping track of a large number of investments in many different businesses; staying on top of that financial activity is part of the daily routine for the research staff of a mutual fund. Liquidity Liquidity refers to the ease with which you can buy or sell an investment. Buying or selling a particular stock or bond, especially one held by relatively few people, may be difficult. If you need cash in an emergency, this obstacle to turning your investment into legal tender can cause inconvenience and may cost you money. By contrast, mutual fund shares can be cashed in quickly at any time by redeeming them with the managing company, usually at little or no cost. Shareholder services Many mutual fund companies offer a range of useful, sometimes valuable services to their customers. These may include: Ability to invest, withdraw, or move money via mail, telephone, or the Internet Automatic investment via payroll deduction 14

4. COMMODITY
A market that transacts business with commodities of all nature referred as commodity markets. Commodity market was initially meant only for agricultural products and that too in the local market. Commodity markets deal in the trade of commodities like gold, cotton, crude oil, etc. Many items both perishable, non perishable, finished goods, raw materials and semi finished goods will be traded in this market at the international level. Commodity market does not necessarily require you to buy or sell the commodities but you can even exchange them. Commodity market works on certain principles. Firstly the trading has to be done only for standard products. Secondly the transaction takes place through a future contract. According to this contract the commodities will be sold or bought on a future date. However the price at which they are sold will be the price agreed during the contract. Similarly commodity marketing also makes use of another type of contract called spot contract. In this contract the goods are to be transferred as soon as the contract is made. Some of the commodities investing market are commodity food market, commodity petroleum market and commodity fund investing. Commodity investing was initially received well only by a few sectors. Commodities investing were first restricted to the trade and exchange of commodities meant for regular and day to day use. However the awareness in the subsequent stages has brought all sectors into the manifold of commodity investing and has enabled speedy movements, transfer and transaction of goods and services. The following are the benefits of investing in commodities market Reduced Risks As an investor your chances of risks are very less if you choose to invest in commodity. Therefore the gains from commodity investing will be helpful for you to balance other losses due to other financial instruments in your portfolio. The chances of risks are lower because commodity investing primarily deals with diverse items. Moreover when the contracts are
15

entered for a future date at the current time you can exercise reasonable care and see to it that the chances of risks are reduced or nil.

The performance of commodity market can be monitored by analyzing the performance of bond and share market because in most cases a commodity market will perform well when the others don't perform and vice versa. It is therefore possible to easily predict the prices and make the contracts by considering the ups and downs in other markets. Diversifies your Portfolio The presence of commodities investment itself shows that your portfolio is widely diversified. It is a well known fact that commodities investment is extremely opposite to the other popular financial instruments namely stocks and bonds. Since you have already invested in commodities you will also think of choosing other financial instruments that resemble commodities investment to make sure that they give you the required profit in combination. This means your portfolio will perform well over the year and you can concentrate on the relevant financial instruments seasonally and pertaining to the market performance. When you wish to engage in commodity trading you must be able to anticipate and calculate the expected prices and other financial outcomes. One must do a technical analysis of the commodities market to achieve this. Commercial price index is an important concept that plays a role in making these decisions. Index refers to the average taken in terms of specific commodities / sectors like oil and gold. These indexes represent the trend and the direction in which the demand and supply curve is moving for that particular product. Commodity market has grown to a large extent. There are numerous opportunities and scope for growth in the field. You must have a sound knowledge about the various commodities traded and the fluctuation in their prices for investing in commodity is not an easy task.

5.GOLD
Of all the precious metals, gold is the most popular as an investment. Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social or currency-based crises. These crises include investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest. Speculators also buy gold early in bear market and aim to sell it before a bear market ends, in an attempt to avoid higher risk. Investing in gold takes some time and research. The precious metal is considered a safe haven in difficult economic times. Gold can be purchased several ways, including gold coins and bars, mining stocks and mutual funds. Investing in gold has a sense of security, they are real. Gold is not just name for companies, they are tangible objects that you can hold and feel the value of. Therein lies their power. Investing in companies is a whole different story. With 'normal' stock investments, your money isn't in something real. It's just a number, an idea: insecure. Numbers on your computer screen, money invested into nothing solid. Ideas to be played around with. The concept is very different: instead of putting your money into a company - an idea - you're buying gold and silver with your money - something real. Gold cannot be 'made', as opposed to company products. This simplifies the supply and demand way of thinking, because there is a fixed supply. Apart from the high use of gold in jewellery, gold is also used in dentistry, (for gold crowns) embroidery, (to make threads with), electronics, (in connectors on wires) and as a coating on satellites and astronauts' helmets.

Benefits of investing in Gold. Diversity Gold can help diversify your portfolio. It is an excellent way to improve the overall performance of an investment account, and gold offers stability. Although gold prices change, the metal has never been worth zero, and its price often rises when the rupee is falling. The Economy When the economy falters and investors lose their faith in the stock market, gold benefits. Low interest rates, and mistrust in the banking and financial sector often steer people toward gold because of its potential for appreciation and its safety. Demand Gold is in demand in a down economy, and when demand goes up, gold prices rise. Inflation Gold is considered to be anti inflationary investment as gold prices tend to rise in times of inflation. While investors may flee stocks and other markets in such periods, gold historically. Does not face the same selling pressure and panic.

6.REAL ESTATE
Real estate that generates income or is otherwise intended for investment purposes rather than as a primary residence. It is common for investors to own multiple pieces of real estate, one of which serves as a primary residence, while the others are used to generate rental income and profits through price appreciation. Common examples of investment properties are apartment buildings and rental houses, in which the owners do not live in the residential units, but use them to generate ongoing rental income from tenants. Those who invest in real estate also expect to generate capital gains as property values increase over time. Expected rate of returns for real estate will differ from city to city.
LIQUID
Cash in hand or balance in your savings account can be considered as liquid. Liquid means readily available to spend or invest or for any purpose. Liquid asset class has its own advantage and importance also. Expected returns on Liquid are very less. Liquid Mutual Funds are also available in the market which will give you returns of about 4 to 5%. Some Liquid Asset class options: Savings Account Cash Liquid Fund

7.BONDS
A Bond is a debt security which is instruments, promissory notes executed by or on behalf of the issuer, who sells them to investors to raise funds A bond is a formal contract to repay borrowed money with interest at fixed intervals. Thus a bond is like a loan: the issuer is the borrower (debtor), the holder is the lender (creditor), and the coupon is the interest. Bonds and stocks are both securities, but the major difference between the two is that stockholders have an equity stake in the company, whereas bondholders have a creditor stake in the company. Bonds are basically loans to companies or governments. Corporations, governments, and their agencies issue bonds to raise money for a given project or to maintain cashflow. A bond carries the promise that the original amount you paid (the principal) will be repaid to you at a specific time (the maturity date). You are also typically promised a specific amount of interest, to be paid to you regularly over the life of the bond. Since bonds provide regular income through "coupons" or a fixed interest rate, they are known as fixed-income investments. Bonds rated AAA, AA, and A by Standard & Poor's are considered "investment grade" and have relatively low risk; bonds rated BBB are medium grade; bonds rated lower than BBB have a higher risk of default. The highest risk bonds are called "junk bonds" and usually offer higher interest rates to compensate for their default risk Bonds are fixed income instruments which are issued for the purpose of raising capital. Both private entities, such as companies, financial institutions, and the central or state government and other government institutions use this instrument as a means of garnering funds.

Bonds issued by the Government carry the lowest level of risk but could deliver fair returns. Over and above the scheduled interest payments as and when applicable, the holder of a bond is entitled to receive the par value of the instrument at the specified maturity date The interest rate that the issuer of a bond must pay is influenced by a variety of factors, such as current market interest rates, the length of the term and the creditworthiness of the issuer. These factors are likely to change over time, so the market price of a bond will vary after it is issued. This price is expressed as a percentage of nominal value. Bonds are not necessarily issued at par (100% of face value, corresponding to a price of 100), but bond prices converge to par when they approach maturity (if the market expects the maturity payment to be made in full and on time) as this is the price the issuer will pay to redeem the bond. This is referred to as "Pull to Par". At other times, prices can be above par (bond is priced at greater than 100), which is called trading at a premium, or below par (bond is priced at less than 100), which is called trading at a discount. Relationship of YTM with bond. Bond selling at DISCOUNT PREMIUM PAR VALUE Relationship COUPON RATE<CURRENT YIELD<YTM COUPON RATE>CURRENT YIELD>YTM COUPON RATE=CURRENT YIELD=YTM
The price-yield relationship is not a straight line, but rather convex (This is convexity) 1. As yields decline, prices increase at an increasing rate 2. As yield increase, prices fall at a declining rate
Some of the important features of the bonds are a) The credit risk such that higher the risk, higher is the return expected.

Inflation, present and future which reduces the purchasing power of investment. The time to maturity of the security the longer the maturity greater is the uncertainty about the first two factors. The demand and supply of debt securities in market from time to time The return is in the form of interest that the security pays in the form of coupon as well the difference between the purchase price and the face value. The investors benefit as they preserve and increase their invested capital and also ensure the receipt of regular interest income. The prices of Debt securities display a lower average volatility as compared to the prices of other financial securities and ensure the greater safety of accompanying investments.

Debt securities enable wide-based and efficient portfolio diversification and thus assist in portfolio risk-mitigation. Almost all debt instruments have a rating assigned to them by a Rating Agency which enables the investor to choose his degree of risk and corresponding returns.
Non SLR Bonds Securities having SLR status, as specified by RBI, are eligible securities for investment by banks to meet their SLR commitments under Sec 24 (2-A) of the B. R. Act, 1949. As the name suggest, investment in Non-SLR bonds cannot be considered eligible for SLR requirement. These include PSU bonds, Corporate bonds and even certain Government securities like Oil Bonds, Food Bonds, Fertilizer Bonds, etc. Public Sector Undertaking Bonds (PSU Bonds) : These are Medium or long term debt instruments issued by Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). The term usually denotes bonds issued by the central PSUs (i.e. PSUs funded by and under the administrative control of the Government of India). Most of the PSU Bonds are sold on Private Placement Basis to the targeted investors at market determined interest rates. Often investment bankers are roped in as arrangers to this issue. PSU Bonds are issued in demat form. In order to attract the investors and increase liquidity, issuers get their bonds rated by rating agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, etc. Some of the issues may be guaranteed by Central / State Government enabling them to get a better rating.

Corporate Bond : Corporate Bonds are issued by public sector undertakings and private corporations for a wide range of tenors but normally upto 15 years. However, some Banks and Companies like Reliance have also issued Perpetual Bonds. Compared to government bonds, corporate bonds generally have a higher risk of default. This risk depends, of course, upon the particular corporation issuing the bond, its rating, the current market conditions and the sector in which the Company is operating. Corporate bond holders are compensated for this risk by receiving a higher yield than government bonds. Some corporate bonds have an embedded call option that allows the issuer to redeem the debt before its maturity date. Some even carry a put-option for the benefit of the investors. Other bonds, known as convertible bonds, allow investors to convert the bond into equity. Financial Institutions and Banks : They form a major source of bonds and hybrid instruments. In F.Y. 2007-08, more than 80 per cent of the non-gsec issues were from this category and mostly on private placement basis. As this category is generally well-regulated and the issues carry good ratings, they are a popular form of investments for Mutual funds and other large investors.

8.COMMERCIAL PAPERS
It was introduced in India in 1990 with a view to enabling highly rated corporate borrowers/ to diversify their sources of short-term borrowings and to provide an additional instrument to investors. The intention of the RBI was to develop a sound money market through a variety of short term instruments. CP enabled the companies to diversify their sources of funding and gave the investors an opportunity to place their short term funds in a liquid asset. Commercial Papers are a short-term unsecured promissory note issued at a discount to face value by reputed corporate with high credit ratings and strong financial background. Commercial paper is a financial instrument that matures before nine months (270 days), and is only used to fund operating expenses or current assets (e.g., inventories and receivables) and not used for financing fixed assets, such as land, buildings, or machinery. Commercial paper is an unsecured promissory note with a fixed maturity of 1 to 270 days. CP can be issued in denominations of Rs.5 lakh or multiples thereof. Amount invested by a single investor should not be less than Rs.5 lakh (face value). CPs are generally open to all investors individuals, banks, corporate. FIIs are allowed to invest their short-term funds in such instruments too. Only a scheduled bank can act as an IPA for issuance of CP. CP favors both borrowers and investors. CP is considered as optimal combination of liquidity and returns in short-term market. To borrowers, it implies low cost of funds, and for investors it implies liquidity, marketability, and returns. They are backed by the liquidity and earning power of the issuer, but are not backed by any assets, an d hence they are unsecured. They also require less paper work. Issue price of CP is decided by merchant bankers/IPA on behalf of corporate client. Once the issue price and maturity are decided, the IPA places the CP with the investors.
26
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Issue price is calculated as: P= F / [1+ (I+N)/(100*365)] Where, F = Face/Maturity value P = Issue price of CP I = Effective interest p.a. N = Usance period (No.of days) CPs are issued at a discount to face value and are redeemable at par on maturity. The discount actually is the effective interest rate. Face value/(1+Discount rate x No. of days/365) Rate of return :- the rate of return on a commercial paper is computed by using the following formula D = [(Par value Purchase value)/Par value] The following are the cost involved in issuing of CPs 1. Stamp duty 2. Rating fees* 0.2% If placed through banks x [360 / Days to Maturity]
1.0% - If placed through merchant bankers 0.10% (subject to a minimum of Rs.100,000)
(for a rating from CARE) 3. Issuing and paying agent fee 0.1% (All charges are on per annum basis and are subject to changes from time to time) * CARE charges a rating fee of 0.10% of the amount of issue subject to a minimum of Rs.100000 and
a maximum of Rs.3000000. For issues above Rs.500 crore, the maximum fee would be Rs.40 lakh
Current scenario of Commercial papers The market for commercial paper (CP) has been active. Corporates seem to prefer CP to bank credit partly for greater ease but mainly for lower cost. In 2009-10 growth in CP was 71 per cent.

CP is not a new instrument. It entered the market in 1990 but was properly regulated from October 2000. It is an unsecured money market instrument and has been issued mostly by companies with minimum P-2 credit rating. Until 2007 the market for CP was rather limited. That was because the money market was short of liquidity and the banks consequently were offering attractive rates on deposits. The total outstanding CP at the end of March 2007 was Rs.19,012 crores. The world financial crisis changed the complexion of the Indian financial market also. Interest rates were cut drastically by the RBI. The repo rate was down from 9 per cent to 4 per cent. However, the prime lending rates of banks hardly moved from 12 per cent though priority borrowers did get credit at lower rates. Corporates discovered that the cost of short term funds raised through CP route was lower than the rate on credit from banks. The outstanding amount against CP jumped to Rs.75,506 crores by March 2010 after crossing a peak of over Rs. 1,00,000 crores in the last quarter of 2009. CP was a good short term security not only for investors like mutual funds, individual investors, companies, etc but also for banks. In March 2010 more than 40 per cent of the outstanding CP was held by banks. That was because banks were saddled with excess liquidity. Deposits were increasing faster than credit and some of the excess money found its way either to the reverse repo window of the RBI or to the money market for CP. A change is now under way. First, the system of PLR will change from June 1 this year. Banks will charge a base rate to high rated borrowers which may narrow down rate differences between credit and CP. Second, with the growth in industry, demand for credit will jump and excess liquidity will be wiped out. Both mean that CP will be more costly to the corporates and less attractive to the investors, slowing down its market growth. 28

Raising capital by issue of shares is a most important method of raising funds. A share is unit of measure of a shareholder's interest in the total capital of the company. Share capital of a company is divided into a large number of equal parts and each part known is a share. According to Companies Act, a company can issue two types of shares -preference and equity Preference shares. Sec. 85(1) of the Companies Act defines preference shares as those shares which carry preferential rights as the payment of dividend at a fixed rate and as to repayment of capital in case of winding up of the company. Thus, both the preferential rights viz. (a) (b) preference in payment of dividend and preference in repayment of capital in case of winding up of the company, must attach to preference shares. The rate of dividend on these shares is fixed and the dividend on these shares must be paid before any dividend is paid to ordinary shares. Directors, however, may decide not to pay any dividend to any class of shareholders even if there are sufficient profits. But, if any how, they decide to pay the dividend, preference shareholders will get the priority to pay the ordinary shareholders. Advantages:1. You are assured of a dividend. A preference shareholder is entitled to a dividend every year. Even if the company doesn't have the money to pay dividends on preference shares in a particular year, the dividend is then added to the next year's dividend. If the company can't pay it the next year as well, the dividend keeps getting added until the company can pay. These are known as cumulative preference shares. Some preference shares are non-cumulative -- if the company can't pay the dividend for one particular year, the dividend for that year lapses.

SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Ordinary shareholders get a dividend only after the cumulative preference shareholders get theirs. Preference shareholders are given a preference over the rest. That's why it is called a preference share. 3. Preference shares are safer In case the company is wound up and its assets (land, buildings, offices, machinery, furniture, etc) are being sold, the money that comes from this sale is given to the shareholders. After all, shareholders invest in a business and own a portion of it. Preference shareholders' get the money first. This saves them from capital losses as well as enjoys minimum risk. Their accounts are settled before that of the ordinary shareholders, who are the last to get paid.

10.CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSITS
CDs are the instruments issued by the banks in the form of usance promissory notes. A Certificate of Deposit can also be referred to as a money market instrument, a receipt for funds deposited in a financial institution for a specific time for a specific interest rate. This scheme was introduced in July 1989, to enable the banking system to mobilize bulk deposits from the market, which they can have at competitive rates of interest.
The major features are: 1. 2. CRR/SLR is applicable on the issue price in case of banks. Investors can be Individuals (other than minors), corporations, companies, trusts,
funds, associations etc. 3. 4. 5. Maturity period includes minimum 15 days and maximum to 12 Months. In case of FIs minimum 1 year and maximum 3 years. Amount to be invested involve minimum Rs.1 lakh, beyond which in multiple of
Rs. 1 lakh 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Interest rate Market related. Fixed or floating. Pre-mature cancellation not allowed. If payment day is holiday, to be paid on next preceding business day Issued at a discount to face value Duplicate can be issued after giving a public notice & obtaining indemnity 11. Like savings accounts, CDs earn compound interest. This means that as your funds get interest added to them, the next interest is taken on the total amount of your 31
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
original funds plus interest previously earned. This means that, although the interest percentage remains constant, the amount of interest added increases each time.

11.VENTURE CAPITAL
Venture capital refers to money that is invested in companies during the early stages of their development. Such funds may come from wealthy individuals, government-backed Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs), or professionally managed venture capital firms. Since investing in an unproven business venture is highly speculative, venture capitalists generally target companies that they believe offer significant potential for growth, and therefore an opportunity to earn a high rate of return in a relatively short period of time. In exchange for providing capital, as well as a source of management assistance and industry contacts for growing firms, the investors usually require a percentage of equity ownership in the company, some measure of control over its strategic direction, and payment of assorted fees. Venture capital investments are generally made in cash in exchange for shares in the invested company. Most venture capital funds have a fixed life of 8-10 years, with the possibility of a few years of extensions to allowed for better realisation from the Fund. The investing cycle for most funds is generally three to five years, after which the fund will focus on realizing the investment and return to the contributors. With venture capital financing, the venture capitalist acquires an agreed proportion of the equity of the company in return for the funding. Equity finance offers the significant advantage of having no interest charges. It is "patient" capital that seeks a return through long-term capital gain rather than immediate and regular interest payments, as in the case of debt financing. Given the nature of equity financing, venture capital investors are therefore exposed to the risk of the company failing. As a result the venture capitalist must look to invest in companies which have the ability to grow very successfully and provide higher than average returns to compensate for the risk. When venture capitalists invest in a business they typically require a seat on the company's board of directors. They tend to take a minority share in the company and usually do not take day-to-day control. Rather, professional venture capitalists act as mentors and aim to provide
33

support and advice on a range of management, sales and technical issues to assist the company to develop its full potential.

AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR GUIDELINES OF RBI
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
The RBI has issued guidelines for the valuation of investments. These guidelines require banks to classify their entire portfolio of approved securities under three categories: held for trading, available for sale and held to maturity. For disclosure and valuation purposes, the investments are further classified under six groupsgovernment securities, other approved securities, shares, debentures and bonds, investments in subsidiaries, and joint ventures and other investments. There are guidelines for the amount and nature of investments that can be made in the held to maturity category. Securities in the held to maturity category would have to be valued at cost and any premium paid over face value would be amortized over the period of maturity of the instrument. Investment under the held for trading category cannot be held for more than 90 days. Investments in the available for sale and held for trading categories are required to be marked to market based on market quotes or on the basis of the yield curve provided by the Fixed Income Money Market Dealers Association of India and Primary Dealers Association of India. Any depreciation on the revaluation of investments of each of the six groups in the held for trading and available for sale category would have to be recognized in the income account. Net gain on revaluation of investments shall not be recognized in the income account. Banks would be able to shift investments from one category to another only with the approval of the board of directors/committee thereof. Shifting to/from held to maturity category is permitted once a year. Non SLR investments (i) Appraisal Banks have made significant investment in privately placed unrated bonds and, in certain cases, in bonds issued by corporates who are not their borrowers. While assessing such investment proposals on private placement basis, in the absence of standardized and mandated disclosures, including credit rating, banks may not be in a position to conduct
35
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
proper due diligence to take an investment decision. Thus, there could be deficiencies in the appraisal of privately placed issues.
36
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR (ii) Disclosure requirements in offer documents
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
The risk arising from inadequate disclosure in offer documents should be recognized and banks should prescribe minimum disclosure standards as a policy with Board approval. In this connection, RBI had constituted a Technical Group comprising officials drawn from treasury departments of a few banks and experts on corporate finance to study, inter alia, the methods of acquiring, by banks, of non-SLR investments in general and private placement route, in particular, and to suggest measures for regulating these investments. The Group had designed a format containing the minimum disclosure requirements as well as certain conditionalities regarding documentation and creation of charge for private placement issues, which may serve as a 'best practice model' for the banks. The details of the Groups recommendations are given in the Annexure III and banks should have a suitable format of disclosure requirements on the lines of the recommendations of the Technical Group with the approval of their Board. (iii) Internal assessment With a view to ensuring that the investments by banks in issues through private placement, both of the borrower customers and non-borrower customers, do not give rise to systemic concerns, it is necessary that banks should ensure that their investment policies duly approved by the Board of Directors are formulated after taking into account the following aspects: (a) The Boards of banks should lay down policy and prudential limits on investments in bonds and debentures including cap and on private placement basis, sub limits for PSU bonds, corporate bonds, guaranteed bonds, issuer ceiling, etc. (b) Investment proposals should be subjected to the same degree of credit risk analysis as any loan proposal. Banks should make their own internal credit analysis and rating even in respect of rated issues and should not entirely rely on the ratings of external agencies. The appraisal should be more stringent in respect of investments in instruments issued by non-borrower customers. (c) Strengthen their internal rating systems which should also include building up of a system of regular (quarterly or half-yearly) tracking of the financial position of the issuer with a view to ensuring continuous monitoring of the rating migration of the issuers/issues.
37
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
(d) As a matter of prudence, banks should stipulate entry-level minimum ratings/quality standards and industry-wise, maturity-wise, duration-wise, issuer-wise etc. limits to mitigate the adverse impacts of concentration and the risk of illiquidity. (e) The banks should put in place proper risk management systems for capturing and analyzing the risk in respect of these investments and taking remedial measures in time. (iv) Some banks / FIs have not exercised due precaution by reference to the list of defaulters circulated / published by RBI while investing in bonds, debentures, etc., of companies. Banks may, therefore, exercise due caution, while taking any investment decision to subscribe to bonds, debentures, shares etc., and refer to the Defaulters List to ensure that investments are not made in companies / entities who are defaulters to banks / FIs. Some oft he companies may be undergoing adverse financial position, turning their accounts to substandard category due to recession in their industry segment, like textiles. Despite restructuring facility provided under RBI guidelines, the banks have been reported to be reluctant to extend further finance, though considered warranted on merits of the case. Banks may not refuse proposals for such investments in companies whose directors name(s) find place in the Defaulter Companies List circulated by RBI, at periodical intervals and particularly in respect of those loan accounts, which have been restructured under extant RBI guidelines, provided the proposal is viable and satisfies all parameters for such credit extension. Prudential guidelines on investment in Non-SLR securities 1 Coverage These guidelines cover banks investments in non-SLR securities issued by corporates, banks, FIs and State and Central Government sponsored institutions, etc including, capital gains bonds, bonds eligible for priority sector status. The guidelines will apply to investments both in the primary market as well as the secondary market. 2 The guidelines on listing and rating pertaining to Non - SLR securities are not applicable to banks investments in: (a) Securities directly issued by the Central and State Governments, which are not reckoned for SLR purposes. 38
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR (b) Equity shares
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
(c) Units of equity oriented mutual fund schemes, viz. those schemes where any part of the corpus can be invested in equity (d) Equity/debt instruments/Units issued by Venture capital funds (e) Commercial Paper (f) Certificates of Deposit 3 Definitions of a few terms used in these guidelines have been furnished in Annexure IV with a view to ensure uniformity in approach while implementing the guidelines. Regulatory requirements 1 Banks should not invest in Non-SLR securities of original maturity of less than one-year, other than Commercial Paper and Certificates of Deposits, which are covered under RBI guidelines. 2 Banks should undertake usual due diligence in respect of investments in non-SLR securities. Present RBI regulations preclude banks from extending credit facilities for certain purposes. Banks should ensure that such activities are not financed by way of funds raised through the non- SLR securities. Listing and rating requirements 1 Banks must not invest in unrated non-SLR securities. However, the banks may invest in unrated bonds of companies engaged in infrastructure activities, within the ceiling of10 per cent for unlisted non-SLR securities as prescribed vide paragraph 1.2.10 below. 2 The Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) vide their circular dated September 30, 2003(amended vide circular dated May 11, 2009) have stipulated requirements that listed companies are required to comply with, for making issue of debt securities on private placement basis and listed on a stock exchange. According to this circular, any listed company, making issue of debt securities on a private placement basis and listed on a stock exchange, has to make full disclosures (initial and continuing) in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act 1956, SEBI (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines,2000 and the Listing Agreement with the exchanges. Furthermore, the debt
39
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
securities shall carry a credit rating of not less than investment grade from a Credit Rating Agency registered with the SEBI.
40
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
3. Accordingly, while making fresh investments in non-SLR debt securities, banks should ensure that such investment are made only in listed debt securities of companies which comply with the requirements of the SEBI circular dated September 30, 2003(amended vide circular dated May 11, 2009), except to the extent indicated in paragraph 1.2.10 and 1.2.11 below. Fixing of prudential limits 1 Banks investment in unlisted non-SLR securities should not exceed 10 per cent of its total investment in non-SLR securities as on March 31, of the previous year, and such investment should comply with the disclosure requirements as prescribed by the SEBI for listed companies. 2 Banks investment in unlisted non-SLR securities may exceed the limit of 10 per cent, by an additional 10 per cent, provided the investment is on account of investment in securitization papers issued for infrastructure projects, and bonds/debentures issued by Securitization Companies (SCs) and Reconstruction Companies (RCs) set up under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFEASI Act) and registered with RBI. In other words, investments exclusively in securities specified in this paragraph could be up to the maximum permitted limit of 20 per cent of non-SLR investment. 3. Investment in the following will not be reckoned as unlisted non-SLR securities for computing compliance with the prudential limits prescribed in the above guidelines (i) Security Receipts issued by SCs / RCs registered with RBI. (ii) Investment in Asset Backed Securities (ABS) and Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), which are rated at or above the minimum investment grade. However, there will be close monitoring of exposures to ABS on a bank specific basis based on monthly reports to be submitted to RBI as per proforma being separately advised by the Department of Banking Supervision. (iii) Investments in unlisted convertible debentures. However, investments in these instruments would be treated as Capital Market Exposure.
41
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
4. The investments in RIDF / SIDBI Deposits may not be reckoned as part of the numerator as well as denominator for computing compliance with the prudential limit of 10 per cent of its total non-SLR securities as on March 31, of the previous year. 5. With effect from January 1, 2005, only investment in units of such mutual fund schemes, which have an exposure to unlisted securities of less than 10 per cent of the corpus of the fund, will be treated on par with listed securities for the purpose of compliance with the prudential limits prescribed in the above guidelines. While computing the exposure to the unlisted securities for compliance with the norm of less than 10 percent of the corpus of the mutual fund scheme, Treasury Bills, Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligations (CBLO), Repo/Reverse Repo and Bank Fixed Deposits may not be included in the numerator. 6. For the purpose of the prudential limits prescribed in the guidelines, the denominator viz., 'non-SLR investments', would include investment under the following four categories in Schedule 8 to the balance sheet viz., 'shares', 'bonds& debentures', ventures' and 'others'. 7. Banks whose investment in unlisted non-SLR securities are within the prudential limit of 10 per cent of its total non-SLR securities as on March 31, of the previous year may make fresh investment in such securities and up to the prudential limits. Role of Boards Boards of banks should review the following aspects of non-SLR investment at least at quarterly intervals: a) Total business (investment and divestment) during the reporting period. b) Compliance with the prudential limits prescribed by the Board for non-SLR investment. c) Compliance with the prudential guidelines issued by RBI on non-SLR securities. d) Rating migration of the issuers/ issues held in the banks books and consequent diminution in the portfolio quality. e) Extent of non-performing investments in the non-SLR category.

Disclosures 1. In order to help in the creation of a central database on private placement of debt, a copy of all offer documents should be filed with the Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd. (CIBIL) by the investing banks. Further, any default relating to interest/ installment in respect of any privately placed debt should also be reported to CIBIL by the investing banks along with a copy of the offer document. 2. Banks should disclose the details of the issuer composition of non-SLR investments and the non-performing non-SLR investments in the Notes on Accounts of the balance sheet, as indicated in Annexure V. Trading and settlement in debt securities As per the SEBI guidelines, all trades with the exception of the spot transactions, in a listed debt security, shall be executed only on the trading platform of a stock exchange. In addition to complying with the SEBI guidelines, banks should ensure that all spot transactions in listed and unlisted debt securities are reported on the NDS and settled through the CCIL from a date to be notified by RBI. Classification i) The entire investment portfolio of the banks (including SLR securities and non-SLR securities) should be classified under three categories viz. Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and Held for Trading. However, in the balance sheet, the investments will continue to be disclosed as per the existing six classifications: viz a) Government securities, b) Other approved securities, c) Shares, d) Debentures & Bonds, e) Subsidiaries/ joint ventures and 43

arrived at in the above manner in respect of nonperforming shares where dividends are in arrears shall not be allowed to be set-off against appreciation on other performing preference shares. f) The preference share should not be valued above its redemption value. g) When a preference share has been traded on stock exchange within 15 days prior to the valuation date, the value should not be higher than the price at which the share was traded. 3. Equity Shares The equity shares in the bank's portfolio should be marked to market preferably on a daily basis, but at least on a weekly basis. Equity shares for which current quotations are not available or where the shares are not quoted on the stock exchanges, should be valued at break-up value (without considering revaluation reserves, if any) which is to be ascertained from the companys latest balance sheet (which should not be more than one year prior to the date of valuation). In case the latest balance sheet is not available the shares are to be valued at Re.1 per company. 4. Mutual Funds Units (MF Units) Investment in quoted MF Units should be valued as per Stock Exchange quotations. Investment in un-quoted MF Units is to be valued on the basis of the latest re-purchase price declared by the MF in respect of each particular Scheme. In case of funds with a lock-in period, where repurchase price/ market quote is not available, Units could be valued at Net Asset Value (NAV). If NAV is not available, then these could be valued at cost, till the end of the lock-in period. Wherever the re-purchase price is not available, the Units could be valued at the NAV of the respective scheme. 5. Commercial Paper Commercial paper should be valued at the carrying cost. 6. Investment in securities issued by SC/RC When banks / FIs invest in the SRs / Pass-Through Certificates (PTCs) issued by SCs / RCs, in respect of the financial assets sold by them to the SCs / RCs, the sale shall be recognized in books of the banks / FIs at the lower of:
52
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR the redemption value of the SRs /PTCs, and
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
the net book value (NBV) (i.e. Book value less provisions held), of the financial asset. The above investment should be carried in the books of the bank / FI at the price as determined above until its sale or realization, and on such sale or realization, the loss or gain must be dealt with as under: (i) if the sale to SC /RC is at a price below the NBV, the shortfall should be debited to the profit and loss account of that year.
(ii) If the sale is for a value higher than the NBV, the excess provision will not be reversed but will be utilized to meet the shortfall / loss on account of sale of other financial assets to SC / RC. All instruments received by banks / FIs from SC / RC as sale consideration for financial assets sold to them and also other instruments issued by SC / RC in which banks / FIs invest will be in the nature of non-SLR securities. Accordingly, the valuation, classification and other norms applicable to investment in non-SLR instruments prescribed by RBI from time to time would be applicable to banks / FIs investment in debentures / bonds / security receipts / PTCs issued by SC / RC. However, if any of the above instruments issued by SC / RC is limited to the actual realization of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the concerned scheme the bank / FI shall reckon the Net Asset Value (NAV), obtained from SC / RC from time to time, for valuation of such investments Valuation and classification of banks investment in VCFs 1 The quoted equity shares / bonds/ units of VCFs in the bank's portfolio should be held under AFS and marked to market preferably on a daily basis, but at least on a weekly basis, in line with valuation norms for other equity shares as per existing instructions. 2 Banks investments in unquoted shares/bonds/units of VCFs made after August 23, 2006 (i.e issuance of guidelines on valuation, classification of investments in VCFs) will be classified under HTM for initial period of three years and will be valued at cost during this period. For the investments made before issuance of these guidelines, the classification would be done as per the existing norms.

3 For this purpose, the period of three years will be reckoned separately for each disbursement made by the bank to VCF as and when the committed capital is called up. However, to ensure conformity with the existing norms for transferring securities from HTM, transfer of all securities which have completed three years as mentioned above will be effected at the beginning of the next accounting year in one lot to coincide with the annual transfer of investments from HTM category.
54
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
4 After three years, the unquoted units/shares/bonds should be transferred to AFS category and valued as under: i) Units: In the case of investments in the form of units, the valuation will be done at the NAV shown by the VCF in its financial statements. Depreciation, if any, on the units based on NAV has to be provided at the time of shifting the investments to AFS category from HTM category as also on subsequent valuations which should be done at quarterly or more frequent intervals based on the financial statements received from the VCF. At least once in a year, the units should be valued based on the audited results. However, if the audited balance sheet/ financial statements showing NAV figures are not available continuously for more than 18 months as on the date of valuation, the investments are to be valued at Rupee 1.00 per VCF. ii) Equity: In the case of investments in the form of shares, the valuation can be done at the required frequency based on the break-up value (without considering revaluation reserves, if any) which is to be ascertained from the companys (VCFs) latest balance sheet (which should not be more than 18 months prior to the date of valuation). Depreciation, if any on the shares has to be provided at the time of shifting the investments to AFS category as also on subsequent valuations which should be done at quarterly or more frequent intervals. If the latest balance sheet available is more than 18 months old, the shares are to be valued at Rupee.1.00 per company. (iii) Bonds: The investment in the bonds of VCFs, if any, should be valued as per prudential norms for classification, valuation and operation of investment portfolio by banks issued by RBI from time to time. In the previous part information related to investments securities have been covered. As well as about the valuation criteria of various classes according to guidelines given by RBI. Further in the second part analysis of some of these asset class has been done in order to give an overview of returns generated through them.

Facts
From the above analysis of various investment products we could see a large jump in returns of most of it as in 2010 as compared to its previous year of 2009. This is because of the effect of recession that we had. We can assume that the scenario now will stabilize as compared to initial period. As we wanted an overview of commodity class movement, therefore we considered gold and crude oil index taking as base to understand commodity index. LMEX is calculated once a day on the basis of closing prices of six(copper, aluminum, lead, tin, zinc, and nickel) primary metals In LMEX steel is excluded , as steel itself has vast diversification. Stock market has been a profitable but extremely variable investment. Before investing in stocks one has to ardently study that particular companys prospectus, market position, etc. G-Sec , treasury bills, CPs , CDs and other money market instruments reap good returns but with a waiting period , specially for those having high patience , or those who are not eager enough to make quick bucks.

Other cash equivalents are the best options for investors who completely avoids risk.

The table above shows the standard deviation and the rate of returns for the various investment products. The reason why we look back over such a long period to measure average rates of return is that annual rates of return for common stocks fluctuate so much that averages taken over short period are meaningless. Our only hope of gaining insights from historical rates of return is to look at a very long period. The risk of a well diversified portfolio depends on market risk of securities involved in the portfolio. Diversification is a good thing for the investor. This reduces risk factor as well provide sufficient profits.

On the basis of above table three type of portfolio prepared under two categories. 1. Risk factor under this category there can be three types of investors. Low risk taker Medium risk taker High risk taker
2. Time factor this category includes investors who invest specified period of time. Short term 0 to 3 years Middle term 3 years to 5 years Long term 5 years and above

The distribution of these products in each category is been done on basis of previous analysis shown , as well as on assumptions related to the ability of individual investor and the performance of that particular product in market. However this cannot be considered as a sole base or benchmark on basis of which investments had to be done. Further individual investor has to analyze his or her own requirements, financial circumstances, and his ability of taking risks.
69
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR 1. RISK FACTOR
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Low risk taker These are the investors that are often concerned about security of capital they have accumulated (e.g. for retirement) They are typically looking for reliable source of income and may invest a small portion of their portfolio in stocks. The fixed income portions are generally focused on bonds such as government bonds, treasury bills, cash alternatives, etc. For these investors stocks make up a small part of investment in portfolio with the goal of enough returns to outpace inflation. A larger portion needs to be invested in securities other than stocks.
Asset class Equity (stocks) Bonds ( money market) Other ( cash equivalents , commodities , etc)
Asset allocation 20% 35% 45%
Equity Bonds ( money market) Other ( cash equiv alents , commodities , etc)
70
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR Medium risk taker
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
These investor could invest a greater percentage of their investment in stocks as compared to low risk investors. These investors can have a fair balance between bonds and equities. This is to achieve more return potential with minimal risk. The portfolio should consist somewhat equal distribution in equity (stocks) and the rest securities, still maintaining a large portion in income securities. These investors will often seek potential for long term appreciation while minimizing the overall risk.
Asset class Equity (stocks) Bonds ( money market) Other ( cash equivalents , commodities , etc)
Equity Bonds ( money market) Other ( cash equivalents , commodities , etc)
71
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
High risk taker. An investor under this category will invest maximum, about 80% to stocks. Such portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation or growth. Additionally with a 20% allocation to rest of the securities which also targets some current income. This investor has no interest to invest in cash equivalents in order to achieve potential for greater returns. The investor over here wants high returns therefore for this purpose stocks are viable options. Whereas investing in other securities such as money market instruments, bonds (G- Sec), cash equivalents do provide returns but minimal. Market risk stems from the fact that there are other economy wide perils that threatens all businesses. That is why stocks have a tendency to move together. And that is why investors are exposed to market uncertainties, no matter how many stocks they hold. Asset class Equity (stocks) Bonds ( money market) Other ( cash equivalents , commodities , etc) Asset allocation 80% 10% 10%
72

73
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR 2. TIME FACTOR Short term investment.
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
If you need to make money quickly, consider short term investments which allows you to invest an amount of money at a high yield interest rate, and gain access to the return sooner rather than later. This investor cannot take any chances with their money and must invest it in guaranteed securities such as a high-interest savings account or certificates of deposit. Gold is another commodity which has good returns. Investors should invest in gold when the price of gold is low. Stocks are not the safest short term instruments. In short term investments it is best to invest the entire amount into one particular investment.
Asset class Equity (stocks) Bonds ( money market, CDs) Other ( cash equivalents , gold , etc)
74
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Medium term This type can be a conservative mix of stocks and bonds. Over here investments could be in similar criteria as per moderate risk taker. One can have a balanced portfolio in this term. Managed funds provide the right amount of control , deposits account, cash deposits account, FDs are other instruments in which investment could be done to reap benefits in short duration without subject to maximum market risk. Can also include income funds which invest in securities of fixed income such as G-secs, bonds and corporate debentures.
Asset class Equity (stocks) Bonds ( money market, CDs) Other ( cash equivalents , gold , etc)
75
AIAIMS SUKHADA TIRODKAR Long term investment
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Investors having longer investment horizon should be willing to accept the additional risks and fluctuations in their portfolio for the potential of higher long-term returns. This time horizon can include most risky investments although one must keep in mind that equities can have very long periods of low returns so it is advisable to have a component of fixed income i.e. 75% stocks and 25% bonds. This ratio can be adjusted if necessary as per self requirements. Real estate can also act as one of the investment security with respect to long terms. Since the prices are still going up, the value of apartment buildings have the best chance of appreciating while everything else goes down. Asset class Equity (stocks) Bonds ( money market, CDs) Other ( cash equivalents , real estate , etc) 20% Asset allocation 70% 10%
76
SUKHADA TIRODKAR
Conclusion
If you are a risk taker with long time horizon allocate 60% to stocks, 30% to bonds and 10% to cash equivalents. If you have a long time horizon but you are averse to risk, allocate 60% to bonds, 25% to stocks, and 15% to cash equivalents. If you have a short term horizon and risk taker, allocate 55% to bonds, 30% to cash equivalents, others and 15 % to stocks. If you have short term frame and you are averse to risk, allocate 55% to cash equivalents, 40% to bonds and 5% to stocks. Returns to investors have varied according to the risks they have borne. Further apart from the above analysis as an investor the investment decision you make should be made with respect to your individual circumstances, your risk taking ability and after reading the appropriate prospectuses.
