Chapter: 1 Introduction of the study Introduction of the study INVESTMENTS The Meaning of Investment The money you earn is partly spent and the rest saved for meeting future expenses. Instead of keeping the savings idle you may like to use savings in order to get return on it in the future. This is called Investment. Reason behind investment: One needs to invest to: Earn return on your idle resources Generate a specified sum of money for a specific goal in life Make a provision for an uncertain future One of the important reasons why one needs to invest wisely is to meet the cost of Inflation. Remember to look at an investment's 'real' rate of return, which is the return after inflation. The aim of investments should be to provide a return above the inflation rate to ensure that the investment does not decrease in value. Investment is never an easy process. However, a sound understanding of some basic concepts make the process of investment decision-making much easier and the experience much more enjoyable. But investment needs some planning to do, analysis of some basic needs. Here are some of the basic steps for the investment. 1) Identify your financial needs and goals. 2) Your ability to take the risk. 3) Estimate your required rate of return. 4) To meet the cost of inflation. Three golden rules for investment Invest early Invest regularly Invest for long term. ,[object Object],RETURN ON INVESTMENT Return on Investment (ROI) analysis is one of several approaches to building a financial business case. The term means that decision makers evaluate the investment by comparing the magnitude and timing of expected gains to the investment costs. TYPES OF INVESTMENT:- There are basically three types of investments from which the investors can choose. The three kinds of investment have their own risk and return profile and investor will decide to invest taking into account his own risk appetite. The main types of investments are: - Economic investments:- These investments refer to the net addition to the capital stock of the society. The capital stock of the society refers to the investments made in plant, building, land and machinery which are used for the further production of the goods. This type of investments are very important for the development of the economy because if the investment are not made in the plant and machinery the industrial production will come down and which will bring down the overall growth of the economy. Financial Investments:- This type of investments refers to the investments made in the marketable securities which are of tradable nature. It includes the shares, debentures, bonds and units of the mutual funds and any other securities which is covered under the ambit of the Securities Contract Regulations Act definition of the word security. The investments made in the capital market instruments are of vital important for the country economic growth as the stock market index is called as the barometer of the economy. General Investments:- These investments refer to the investments made by the common investor in his own small assets like the television, car, house, motor cycle. These types of investments are termed as the household investments. Such types of investment are important for the domestic economy of the country. When the demand in the domestic economy boost the over all productions and the manufacturing in the industrial sectors also goes up and this causes rise in the employment activity and thus boost up the GDP growth rate of the country. The organizations like the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) regularly takes the study of the investments made in the household sector which shows that the level of consumptions in the domestic markets. CHARACTERISICS OF INVESTMENT Certain features characterize all investments. The following are the main characteristics features if investments: - 1.Return: - All investments are characterized by the expectation of a return. In fact, investments are made with the primary objective of deriving a return. The return may be received in the form of yield plus capital appreciation. The difference between the sale price & the purchase price is capital appreciation. The dividend or interest received from the investment is the yield. Different types of investments promise different rates of return. The return from an investment depends upon the nature of investment, the maturity period & a host of other factors. 2.Risk: - Risk is inherent in any investment. The risk may relate to loss of capital, delay in repayment of capital, nonpayment of interest, or variability of returns. While some investments like government securities & bank deposits are almost risk less, others are more risky. The risk of an investment depends on the following factors. The longer the maturity period, the longer is the risk. The lower the credit worthiness of the borrower, the higher is the risk. The risk varies with the nature of investment. Investments in ownership securities like equity share carry higher risk compared to investments in debt instrument like debentures & bonds. 3. Safety: - The safety of an investment implies the certainty of return of capital without loss of money or time. Safety is another features which an investors desire for his investments. Every investor expects to get back his capital on maturity without loss & without delay. 4. Liquidity: - An investment, which is easily saleable, or marketable without loss of money & without loss of time is said to possess liquidity. Some investments like company deposits, bank deposits, P.O. deposits, NSC, NSS etc. are not marketable. Some investment instrument like preference shares & debentures are marketable, but there are no buyers in many cases & hence their liquidity is negligible. Equity shares of companies listed on stock exchanges are easily marketable through the stock exchanges. An investor generally prefers liquidity for his investment, safety of his funds, a good return with minimum risk or minimization of risk & maximization of return. IMPORTANCE In the current situation, investment is becomes necessary for everyone & it is important & useful in the following ways: 1. Retirement planning: - Investment decision has become significant as people retire between the ages of 55 & 60. Also, the trend shows longer life expectancy. The earning from employment should, therefore, be calculated in such a manner that a portion should be put away as a savings. Savings by themselves do not increase wealth; these must be invested in such a way that the principal & income will be adequate for a greater number of retirement years. Increase in working population, proper planning for life span & longevity have ensured the need for balanced investments. 2. Increasing rates of taxation: - Taxation is one of the crucial factors in any country, which introduce an element of compulsion, in a person’s saving. In the form investments, there are various forms of saving outlets in our country, which help in bringing down the tax level by offering deductions in personal income. For examples: - Unit linked insurance plan, Life insurance, National saving certificates, Development bonds, Post office cumulative deposit schemes etc. 3. Rates of interest: - It is also an important aspect for sound investment plan. It varies between investment & another. This may vary between risky & safe investment, they may also differ due different benefits schemes offered by the investments. These aspects must be considered before actually investing. The investor has to include in his portfolio several kinds of investments stability of interest is as important as receiving high rate of interest. 4. Inflation: - Since the last decade, now a day’s inflation becomes a continuous problem. In these years of rising prices, several problems are associated coupled with a falling standard of living. Before funds are invested, erosion of the resource will have to be carefully considered in order to make the right choice of investments. The investor will try & search outlets, which gives him a high rate of return in form of interest to cover any decrease due to inflation. He will also have to judge whether the interest or return will be continuous or there is a likelihood of irregularity. Coupled with high rate of interest, he will have to find an outlet, which will ensure safety of principal. Beside high rate of interest & safety of principal an investor also has to always bear in mind the taxation angle, the interest earned through investment should not unduly increase his taxation burden otherwise; the benefit derived from interest will be compensated by an increase in taxation. 5. Income: - For increasing in employment opportunities in India., investment decisions have assumed importance. After independence with the stage of development in the country a number of organization & services came into being. For example: - The Indian administrative services, Banking recruitment services, Expansion in private corporate sector, Public sector enterprises, Establishing of financial institutions, tourism, hotels, and education. More avenues for investment have led to the ability & willingness of working people to save & invest their funds. 6. Investment channels: - The growth & development of country leading to greater economic activity has led to the introduction of a vast array of investment outlays. Apart from putting aside saving in savings banks where interest is low, investor have the choice of a variety of instruments. The question to reason out is which is the most suitable channel? Which media will give a balanced growth & stability of return? The investor in his choice of investment will give a balanced growth & stability of return? The investor in his choice of investment will have try & achieve a proper mix between high rates of return to reap the benefits of both. For example: - Fixed deposit in corporate sector Unit trust schemes. INVESTMENTS AVENUES:- There are various investments avenues provided by a country to its people depending upon the development of the country itself. The developed countries like the USA and the Japan provide variety of investments as compared to our country. In India before the post liberalization era there were limited investments avenues available to the people in which they could invest. With the opening up of the economy the number of investments avenues have also increased and the quality of the investments have also improved due to the use of the professional activity of the players involved in this segment. Today investment is no longer a process of trial and error and it has become a systematized process, which involves the use of the professional investment solution provider to play a greater role in the investment process. Earlier the investments were made without any analysis as the complexity involved the investment process were not there and also there was no availability of variety of instruments. But today as the number of investment options have increased and with the variety of investments options available the investor has to take decision according to his own risk and return analysis. PORTFOLIO Meaning of portfolio:- Portfolio A combination of securities with different risk & return characteristics will constitute the portfolio of the investor. Thus, a portfolio is the combination of various assets and/or instruments of investments. The combination may have different features of risk & return, separate from those of the components. The portfolio is also built up out of the wealth or income of the investor over a period of time, with a view to suit his risk and return preference to that of the portfolio that he holds. The portfolio analysis of the risk and return characteristics of individual securities in the portfolio and changes that may take place in combination with other securities due to interaction among themselves and impact of each one of them on others. An investor considering investments in securities is faced with the problem of choosing from among a large number of securities. His choice depends upon the risk and return characteristics of individual securities. He would attempt to choose the most desirable securities and like to allocate is funds over this group of securities. Again he is faced with the problem of deciding which securities to hold and how much to invest in each. The investor faces an infinite number of possible portfolios or groups of securities. The risk and return characteristics of portfolio differ from those of individual securities combining to form a portfolio. The investor tries to choose the optimal portfolio taking in to consideration the risk return characteristics of all possible portfolios. As the economy and the financial environment keep changing the risk return characteristics of individual securities as well as portfolios also change. This calls for periodical review and revision of investment portfolios of investors. An investor invests his funds in a portfolio expecting to get a good return consistent with the risk that he has to bear. The return realized from the portfolio has to be measured and the performance of the portfolio has to be evaluated. It is evident that rational investment activity involves creation of an investment portfolio. Portfolio management comprises all the processes involved in the creation and maintenance of an investment portfolio. It deals specifically with the security analysis, portfolio analysis, portfolio selection, portfolio revision and portfolio evaluation. Portfolio management makes use of analytical techniques of analysis and conceptual theories regarding rational allocation of funds. Portfolio management is a complex process which tries to make investment activity more rewarding and less risky. PORTFOLIO DESIGN Before designing a portfolio one will have to know the intention of the investor or the returns that the investor is expecting from his investment. This will help in adjusting the amount of risk. This becomes an important point from the point of view of the portfolio designer because if the investor will be ready to take more risk at the same time he will also get more returns. From the above discussion we can conclude that the investors can be of the following three types: Investors willing to take minimum risk and at the same time are also expecting minimum returns. Investors willing to take moderate risk and at the same time are also expecting moderate returns. Investors willing to take maximum risk and at the same time are also expecting maximum returns.

Research in common refers to a search of knowledge. In fact research is an art of scientific investigation. According to the advanced learning dictionary, “research is a careful investigation of inquiry especially for finding”. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in study of his research problem along with logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know the research method and techniques. So, research, methodologies adopted by the researchers in this project are as follows: AREA OF RESEARCH I have taken Raipur city as a whole as my area of research within in which I have filled my questionnaires from the peoples of Raipur city including the customers of Kotak Mahindra Bank ltd. SAMPLE SIZE: Sample size is the total number of respondents selected. In my research work I have taken a sample size of 50 respondents. SOURCES OF DATA For assessing the behavior pattern of the customers towards Kotak as an investment gateway, I have collected the data from both the sources i.e. primary sources and secondary source. Primary Source For this research, I have prepared a questionnaire for collecting the data. I distributed the questionnaire to the selected investors. On the basis of their feedback, I have done the analysis for my report, the items included in the questionnaire where investors needs of investments and improvement in present system. Secondary Source Various books, broachers, company’s website, project reports etc where used as secondary source. QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN Questionnaire design is a most common instrument. A researcher should avoid bias and develops a device, which will facilitate effective communication. The questionnaire considers all these factors can secure relevant facts or opinion from informed and interested responded. I designed a questionnaire contained like this and conducted the sample survey. The questionnaire contains fourteen questions helped me in collecting the relevant data for my project while preparing the questions. I almost gave attention to the number of questions, types, wording and sequence of question. The questionnaire contains close-ended question and proper care was taken to minimize ambiguity. In order to get the information through the questionnaire, I adopted personal interview also and it helped both the purpose of getting the information, which was mentioned, in the questionnaire and some vital additional information, which employees expressed while talking me. SAMPLING METHOD The researcher adopted the convenient sampling method. In this method the sampling unit is chosen primarily on the basis of convenience to the investigators. In this type of sampling the researcher selects the item for the sample deliberately; his choice concerning the items remains supreme. In other words, under this sampling method the organizers of the enquiry purposively choose the particular unit of the universe for constituting a sample on the basis that the small mass that they select out of huge ones will be typical or representative of the whole. STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES: Percentage method technique of central tendency was used by researcher in the analysis of the data in this research. Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentage is used in making comparison between two or more series of data. Percentages are used to describe relationships. Such a measure is considered as the most representative figure for the entire mass of data. EXECUTION OF PROJECT: It is very important step in the research process. According to it findings depends on how systematically the study has been cased out in the time so that it can make some sense when required. I have executed the project after prior discussion with the guide and structure in following steps. preparation of questionnaire Visiting the customers and asking them about the service they all availing from Kotak Mahindra ltd.

Gold as an investment: Gold is the oldest currency in the world and is coveted across continents and cultures for a variety of reasons. Maintains long-term value Market cycles have their ups and downs, but gold has maintained its long-term value. Paper currencies may rise and fall but gold always endures. Gold has demonstrated its capacity to store value for centuries Safe refuge during times of calamities like war or economic crisis, there may be a negative effect on investments like currencies, bonds and equities, but may have an opposite effect on the value of gold. Also gold is not a liability of any government or corporation and hence it does not run a risk of becoming worthless due to unexpected events. Inflation Hedge The value of gold, in terms of real goods and services that it can buy, has remained remarkably stable whereas the purchasing power of many currencies has generally declined Helps build a robust portfolio adding gold to a portfolio introduces an entirely different asset class. Portfolios that contain gold are generally more robust and better able to cope with market uncertainties than those, which don't. Recent independent studies have shown that traditional diversifiers (such as bonds and alternative assets) often fail during times of market stress or instability. Even a small allocation of gold has been proven to significantly improve the consistency of portfolio performance during both stable and unstable financial periods. Effective Diversifier diverse investments help protects the portfolio against fluctuations in the value of any single asset class. Gold is an excellent portfolio diversifier because its performance tends to move independently of other investments and key economic factors. Both tangible and liquid Gold is an asset that is both tangible and liquid, unlike real estate, which is tangible but not liquid, or company shares and bonds, which are liquid but not tangible.

KMBL should increase the number of branches in Chhattisgarh as it becomes a hindrance in the path of their success, as willing individuals don’t get associated due to unavailability of branches. People in Raipur are not aware of Kotak Mahindra as a bank therefore they should also focus on promotional activities KMBL should advise their customers regularly about their various investment schemes. KMBL should open more ATMS as it has to increase the flow of money more. KMBL should promote their bank through advertisement or through other channel. So that everybody should get aware of this bank. KMBL must emphasize more to make more and more customers contact. Time to time KMBL should take their customers feedback, so that they can asses themselves. KMBL should launch the following products soon i.e. home loans, credit cards and education loans. because many person are there who have asked about these products. Mobile banking provided KMBL is not working properly, so KMBL should take this into consideration and try to eradicate such problems. Limitations: Every work has its own limitations. Limitations are extent to which the process Should not exceed. The following limitations for the project are: Duration of project was not enough to make our conclusion on such a vast. Time constraints have also become a major limitation. The sample size taken for drawing the conclusion was not sizeable. Investor ignorance was faced during discussions with respondents. Answers given by the customers and bank personnel might be biased, which may have my project. Bias or inhibition of individuals in order to fill the questionnaire. Since the sample size is small thus we could not come to an exact conclusion.
