Market Capitalization
Market Capitalization (Market Cap) is a
measurement of business value based on share
price and number of shares outstanding. It
generally represents the market's view of a
company's stock value and is a determining
factor in stock valuation.
For example, if a company has 1.5 million shares
outstanding at a share price of $ 25, its market
cap is $37.5 million (1.5 million x $25).
Companies can be categorized based upon the
size of their market capitalization

There are five basic groups:


mega-cap (market cap over $200B)
large-cap ($10B$200B)
mid-cap ($2B$10B)
small-cap ($300M$2B)
micro-cap ($50M-$300M).
Market cap is not always an accurate indication of
value because it does not account for debt and other
factors

Stocks in India had a positive performance during the


last month. India Stock Market (SENSEX), rallied 138
points or 0.67 percent during the last 30 days.
From 1979 until 2013, India Stock Market (SENSEX)

all trades in all 30 shares during last 30 minutes of
the trading session

CNX Nifty is computed using free float 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.
Base Date and Value
The base period selected for CNX Nifty index is the close of prices
on November 3, 1995, which marks the completion of one year of

Criteria for Selection of Constituent Stocks


Liquidity (Impact Cost)
For inclusion in the index, the security should have traded
at an average impact cost of 0.50% or less during the last
six months for 90% of the observations for a basket size of
Rs. 2 Crores.
Impact cost is cost of executing a transaction in a security in
proportion to the weightage of its free float market
capitalisation as against the index free float market
capitalisation at any point of time. This is the percentage
mark up suffered while buying / selling the desired quantity
of a security compared to its ideal price (best buy + best
sell) / 2
.

(
= ( 56 + 58) / 2 = 57
Actual buy price = (100 x 58 + 50 x 59)
= 58.33
Impact cost = [(58.33 57)/57] x 100 =
2.33%

Market capitalization: Companies needs to have a six


monthly average market capitalization of Rs 500 cr or
more for the last six months
Floating Stock:
Companies eligible for inclusion in CNX Nifty should have
atleast 10% floating stock. For this purpose, floating stock
shall mean stocks which are not held by the promoters and
associated entities (where identifiable) of such companies
Others:
a) A company which comes out with a IPO will be eligible
for inclusion in the index, if it fulfills the normal eligiblity
criteria for the index like impact cost, market capitalisation
and floating stock, for a 3 month period instead of a 6
month period.
b) Replacement of Stock from the Index

A stock may be replaced from an index for the following


reasons

Compulsory changes like corporate actions,


delisting etc. In such a scenario, the stock having
largest free float market capitalization and satisfying
other requirements related to liquidity, turnover and
free float will be considered for inclusion.
When a better candidate is available in the
replacement pool, which can replace the index stock
i.e. the stock with the highest free float market
capitalization in the replacement pool has at least
twice the free float market capitalization of the index
stock with the lowest free float market capitalization.

Index Re-Balancing
Index is re-balanced on semi annual
basis.
The cut-off date is January 31 and July 31
of each year, i.e. For semi-annual review of

Screen Based Trading

The trading on stock exchanges in India used


to take place through open outcry without use
of information technology for immediate
matching or recording of trades. This was time
consuming and inefficient. This imposed limits
on trading volumes and efficiency. In order to
provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency
NSE introduced a nation-wide on-line fullyautomated screen based trading system
(SBTS)

A member can punch into the computer


quantities of securities and the prices at which
he likes to transact and the transaction is
executed as soon as it finds a matching sale or
buy order from a counter party. SBTS
electronically matches orders on a strict
price/time priority and hence cuts down on time,
cost and risk of error, as well as on fraud
resulting in improved operational efficiency.
It allows faster incorporation of price sensitive
information into prevailing prices, thus increasing
the informational efficiency of markets.

It enables market participants to see the full


market on real-time, making the market
transparent. It allows a large number of
participants, irrespective of their
geographical locations, to trade with one
another simultaneously, improving the depth
and liquidity of the market. It provides full
anonymity by accepting orders, big or small,
from members without revealing their
identity, thus providing equal access to
everybody.

Secondary Market
Overview of :
1.) Trading and Settlement.
2.) Order Management.

Trading System
NSE operates on the 'National Exchange for
Automated Trading' (NEAT) system, a fully
automated screen based trading system, which
adopts the principle of an order driven market.
The NSE is connected through a VSAT ( Very Small
Earth-based Aperture Terminal) or through leased
telephone lines with all members
Satellite links are established using VSATs at the
offices of the trading members. Through the
network all the members receive complete market
information (best order value, best buying price,
best selling price, order value and last traded)

An investor can place the order for buy or sell at a


particular price and particular quantity. The system
arranges all orders in the priority of price and within
price by time
The NSE trading system matches orders in such a
way that the order gets executed at a price which is
either equal to or better than the specified price but
never worse than it
The NSE trading system (NEAT) generates and
maintains and issues a unique order number
If an order is executed then a trade confirmation slip
is generated which displays the trade number trade
time, quantity and price at which the trade took
place and the corresponding order number

Rolling Settlement
Rolling settlement is the trading system of
securities in which the transaction (buying or
selling of securities) can be squared up by a
counter- transaction on the same day only
The Rolling system was introduced in India
on Jan 10, 2000. Initially settlement period
was T + 5 but it has been reduced to T+2 with
effect from April 1 2003

connected through VSATs/leased lines/modems.
An investor informs a broker to place an order on
his behalf. The broker enters the order through
his PC, which runs under Windows NT and sends
signal to the Satellite via VSAT/leased
line/modem. The signal is directed to mainframe

Contd ..
The order confirmation message is
immediately displayed on the PC of
the broker.
This order matches with the existing
passive order(s), otherwise it waits for
the active orders to enter the system.
On order matching, a message is
broadcast to the respective member.

Contd .
All orders received on the system are sorted with
the best priced order getting the first priority for
matching i.e., the best buy orders match with the
best sell order. Similar priced
orders are sorted on time priority basis, i.e. the one
that came in early gets priority over the later one.
Orders are matched automatically by the computer
keeping the system transparent, objective and fair.
Where an order does not find a match, it remains
in the system and is displayed to the whole market,
till a fresh order comes in or the earlier order is
cancelled or modified.

Clearing & Settlement


The clearing and settlement mechanism
in Indian securities market has witnessed
significant changes and several
innovations during the last decade.

schedules notified by the respective
exchanges.

Contd ..
The obligations of members are
downloaded to members/custodians
by the clearing agency
The members/custodians make
available the required securities in
their pool accounts with depository
participants (DPs) by the prescribed
pay-in time for securities.

Contd
The depository transfers the securities
from the pool accounts of
members/custodians to the settlement
account of the clearing agency.
The securities are transferred on the
pay-out day by the depository from the
settlement account of the clearing
agency to the pool accounts of
members/custodians.

Carry over or Badla Transactions


Carry over or badla refers to the postponement of the
settlement of a transaction till the next settlement
period. It is nothing but a facility to carry forward the
transaction from one settlement period to one period
It involves payment of some charge known as Badla
charge by the speculator.
Badla charges are fixed on a fortnightly basis
To effect Badla transactions, two bargains have to be
made. The first one is to cancel the original
transaction by squaring it up and secondly he creates
a fresh purchase positions for the next settlement
Badla transactions facilitate short-selling

SHORT SELLING
Short selling is defined as selling a stock which
the seller does not own at the time of trade.
It increases liquidity in the market, and makes
price discovery more efficient. Besides, it curbs
manipulation of stocks as informed investors
are able to go short on stocks they feel are
higher than fair value.
This facility was available to non-institutional
investors. Vide a circular in February 2008,
SEBI permitted all classes of investors, viz.,
retail and institutional investors to short sell.

Selling too heavily without owning securities is


also dangerous if it exceeds a particular limit.
In a falling market, short sellers have to
purchase to cover their sales position and it
automatically arrests a fall in security prices and
vice versa
It, however, does not permit naked short sales
and accordingly, requires participants to
mandatorily honour their obligation of delivering
the securities at the time of settlement.

It does not permit institutional investor to do


day trading i.e., square-off their transactions
intra-day. In other words, all transactions are be
grossed for institutional investors at the
custodians level and the institutions are
required to fulfil their obligations on a gross
basis.
The custodians, however, continue to settle
their deliveries on a net basis with the stock
exchanges.

What is a depository?
A depository can be compared to a bank. A
depository holds securities of investors in electronic
form. Besides holding securities, a depository also
provides services related to transactions in
securities.
A depository interfaces with its investors through its
agents called Depository Participants(DPs).
Depositories are those who are licensed by the
Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI) to
undertake depository functions i.e. holding and
handling of securities in electronic form.

There are two depositories in India, namely


National Securities Depository Limited
(NSDL) and
Central Depository Services (India) Limited
(CDSL).
Currently, almost 99 per cent of the trades in
India are settled in demat mode

The National Securities Depository Ltd.


(NSDL) promoted by UTI, IDBI and NSE is
the first depository of India. NSDL started
operations in November 1996
The Stock Exchange, Mumbai has promoted
Central Depository Services (India) Ltd
(CDSL) which has drawn plans to set up the
second depository in the country. It is cosponsored by SBI, Bank of India, Bank of
Baroda and HDFC Bank. It started its
operation from 1999.

Need for Depository System:


The trading in physical segment is full of
inefficiencies due to handling of large volumes
of certificates and also involves various other
problems like delays in transfer, delay in
settlement, loss in transit, forgery
certificates, stolen certificates, mutilation of
certificates, postal losses, court cases,
litigation etc.
To overcome these deficiencies, a new
system of trading, viz. Depository system was
introduced, which facilitates investor to hold
securities in electronic form and to trade in
these securities.

Services offered by NSDL(1996)


The following services are offered by NSDL
to the investors, through its agents viz
Depository Participants.
1. Holding the investors securities in electronic
form.
2. Dematerialisation and Rematerialisation of
securities.
3. Settlement of trades in electronic form.
4. Electronic credit of public offerings and
non-cash corporate actions such as rights,

c. Receive your account number which should
be quoted in all your correspondence.
d. Your participant will provide you a statement

DEMATERIALISATION
Dematerialisation (Demat in short form) signifies
conversion of a share certificate from its physical
form to electronic form for the same number of
holding which is credited to your demat account
which you open with a Depository Participant (DP).
A Depository Participant (DP) is your
representative (agent) in the depository system
providing the link between the Company and you
through the Depository.

Dematerialisation Process
a. Fill a Dematerialisation Request Form available with your

participant.
b. Submit your share certificates along with the above form.
(Please write Surrendered for Dematerialisation on the
face of each certificate before you submit it for
dematerialisation).
c. Your account will be credited within 15 days.
d. If you wish to convert your electronic shares back to
physical shares at a later stage, you may do so by
applying for rematerialistion. Dematerialisation of shares is
optional and an investor can still hold shares in physical
form. However, he / she has to demat the shares if he /
she wishes to sell the same through the Stock
Exchanges.

1. Client/ Investor submit the DRF (Demat Request


Form) and physical certificates to DP. DP checks
whether the securities are available for Demat.
Client defaces the certificate by stamping
Surrendered for Dematerialization. DP punches two
holes on the name of the company and draws two
parallel lines across the face of the certificate
2. DP enters the Demat request in his system to be
sent to NSDL. DP dispatches the physical
certificates along with the DRF to the R&T Agent.
3. NSDL records the details of the electronic request
in the system and forwards the request to the R&T
Agent.

4. R&T Agent, on receiving the physical


documents and the electronic request,
verifies and checks them. Once the R&T
Agent is satisfied, dematerialization of the
concerned securities is electronically
confirmed to NSDL.
5. NSDL credits the dematerialized
securities to the beneficiary account of the
investor and intimates the DP electronically.
The DP issues a statement of transaction to
the client

Book Building: Book building is a method of offering shares to


investors in which the issue price is not fixed in advance (as is done in a fixed
price offer) but is determined through a bidding process. Book Building is
basically a process used in IPOs for efficient price discovery. It is a mechanism
where, during the period for which the IPO is open, bids are collected from
investors at various prices, which are above or equal to the floor price. The
offer price is determined after the bid closing date
Under Book Building, investors bid for shares at the floor price or above and
after the closure of the book building process the price is determined for
allotment of shares.
In case of Book Building, the demand can be known everyday as the book is
being built. But in case of the public issue the demand is known at the close of
the issue.
Cut-Off Price: In a Book building issue, the issuer is required to indicate either
the price band or a floor price in the prospectus. The actual discovered issue
price can be any price in the price band or any price above the floor price. This
issue price is called Cut-Off Price. The issuer and lead manager decides this
after considering the book and the investors appetite for the stock.

Steps in Book Building

1.The issuer appoints a lead merchant banker as a book runner


2. The book runner then advices the company on the issue and
helps the issuer to decide the number of securities to be issued
and the price band.
3. The issuer with the book runner, also appoints syndicate
members with whom the investors can place the orders.
4. Then the issuers advertises the issue and sends the application
form through the syndicate members to the prospective
members.
5. On opening the issue, the interested investors place their
orders into the orders with the syndicate members who puts
these orders in the electronic book. This process is called
Bidding.
6. The bidding is open for a stipulated time usually for a minimum
of 5 days.

7. The investor can bid at any price within the price band
which is 20% spread and can be modified during the
bidding period. The issuing company is allowed to
disclose the floor price prior to the bid opening date but
should not do in the red herring prospectus[ It is an
interim prospectus, that carries a passage in red
stating that the company is not selling the shares
without the approval of the regulator]
8. On the close of the book building period the book
runner evaluates the bids based on the criteria such as
price aggression, quality of investors,
9. The book builder helps the issuer company in arriving
the final price at which the it is willing to issue the
shares

Stock Market In India

As of January 2005 there were 23 stock exchanges


recognised by the central government.

The most important development in the Indian stock


market was the establishment of the National Stock
Exchange (NSE) in 1994.

Within a short period it emerged as the largest stock


exchange surging ahead of the Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE)

National Stock Exchange (NSE)

The NSE is a ringless, national, computerised


exchange.

The NSE has two segments: The Capital Market


Segment and the Wholesale Debt Market Segment.

Trading members in the Capital Market Segment are


through VSATs. The trading members in the Wholesale Debt Market are linked through leased lines.

The NSE has opted for an order-driven system.

All trades on NSE are guaranteed by the National


Securities Clearing Corporation.

NSE
At the end of March 2008, there were 1,381
companies listed at NSE and 1,236
companies were available for trading. The
Capital Market segment of NSE reported a
trading volume of Rs.35,51,038 crore during
2007-08 and at the end of March 2008, the
NSE Market Capitalisation was Rs.48,58,122
crore.

The derivatives trading on the NSE commenced with the


S&P CNX Nifty Index Futures on June 12, 2000. The trading
in index options commenced on June 4, 2001 and trading in
options on individual securities commenced on July 2, 2001.
Single stock futures were launched on November 9, 2001.
Thereafter, a wide range of products have been introduced
in the derivatives segment on the NSE.
The Index futures and options are available on Indices - S&P
CNX Nifty, CNX Nifty Junior, CNX 100, CNX IT, Bank Nifty
and Nifty Midcap 50.
Single stock futures are available on more than 250 stocks.
The mini derivative contracts (futures and options) on S&P
CNX Nifty were introduced for trading on January 1, 2008
while the Long term Options Contracts on S&P CNX Nifty
were launched on March 3, 2008

Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

The BSE switched from the open outcry system to


the screen-based system in 1995.

Jobbers play an important role on the BSE. A jobber


is a broker who offers a two-way quote or a bid-ask
quote.

Since both jobbers and brokers feed their orders,


the BSE has adopted a quote-driven system and
an order-driven system.

Tokyo Stock Exchange

The TSE divides stocks into two sections: First Section: 1200 most
actively traded stocks. Second section: 400 less actively traded
stocks.

Trading in the larger stock of the First Section on the floor of the
exchange.

Remaining stocks in the First Section and the Second Section are
traded electronically.

The TSE relies on saitories who match orders but do not trade on
their own.

A saitori maintains a public limit order book, matches market and


limit orders, and slows down price movements when simple
matching of orders would result in price changes greater than
what is prescribed by the exchange.
