FINANCIAL SYSTEM
The financial is one of the most important inventions of the modern society. The phenomenon of imbalance in the distribution of capital or funds existed in every economic system. There are areas or people with surplus funds and there are those with a deficit. A financial system functions as an intermediary and facilitates the flow of funds from the areas of surplus to the areas of deficit. A financial system is a composition of various institutions, markets, regulations and laws, practices, money managers, analysts, transactions and claims and liabilities.
The functions performed by a financial system are: THE SAVINGS FUNCTION: LIQUIDITY FUNCTION: PAYMENT FUNCTION: RISK FUNCTION: POLICY FUNCTION:

MY SIP IN SHAREKHAN
Before my Summer Internship Programme, I had very little knowledge about the stock market and its fundamentals. And now after undergoing training for the 12th week at Sharekhan there is a tremendous increase in my knowledge about the stock market. I have also gained a lot of knowledge about the Sharekhan Company and its various products, schemes and policies and also about its competitors. The products which I have sold up till now are Demat accounts and mutual funds. And I am confident about my knowledge about demat accounts and mutual funds. Although nobody can claim complete expertise but there is a sea change at least from my point of view. I have learnt what are the various indices and their significance in market. I have also learnt the impact of Sensex and Nifty on overall stock market. I have learnt about various fundamentals and technical aspects, which affect the stock prices in short, run and long run. At Sharekhan we have also been taught to use the online terminal.
Sharekhan is one of the top retail brokerage houses in India with a strong online trading platform. The company provides equity based products (research, equities, derivatives, depository, margin funding, etc.). It has one of the largest networks in the country with 1000 share shops in 375 cities www.sharekhan.com. and Indias premier online trading portal
Out of these we have to mostly sell demat accounts and Mutual Funds.
In the first week we had training sessions for 3 days in which our company guide Mr. Chirag Joshi gave us the complete information about the company, its products and policies. He gave us tips on how to open and close the calls. He also gave us tips on how to do telecalling. He also gave us information on how to fill the KYC form and what are the documents required to open the demat account. Then finally after this we were sent to the market to bring demat accounts and Mutual funds. Initially we faced many obstacles and reasons were many like bad stock market conditions and we were unable to locate potential market etc. but slowly I collected a good number of leads and references from whom so ever I met. I am still following the clients who are giving follow up dates. Our main task is to sell the online demat account. During this venture I came across many people who came from different walks of life. I have learned how to deal with them and convince them to open the demat account with Sharekhan.
Selling a demat account requires special focus on targeting the customers. Each and every person does not invest in the share market. The person who will be investing in the share market should have at least the basic knowledge about the same or should have the curiosity to gain the same. So what I had to do is to identify the prospective client and then try to convince them. Wasting time on the customer who does not know anything about stock market is completely worthless. While on the call if customer asks me any query about which I am not very much sure then I call our Chirag sir who then clears my doubts and queries without any irritation. This not only solves clients query but also makes our concepts clear and strong. I initially met roundabout 15 to 20 people every day. Out of these I found 5 to 6 persons who took actual interest in the Demat account and Mutual funds. As I met more and more people, I learned how to identify the prospective clients. I came to know more about how to talk to them, how much time should be given to each client. So my clients conversion ratio also increased. Even, by solving the customer queries, my own understandings were enhanced. While selling our product in the market, I also came to know more about our competitor's product like, ICICIDirect, India bulls, India Infoline, Motilal Oswal, Ventura, Angel Broking etc. and their strategy of marketing and the consumer's preference towards the competitor's product. I did cold calling in these three months and created my own database through it. In the second month some of the follow-ups from the first month started converting. Sharekhan also started giving advertisement in leading English dailies and on channels like CNBC
where the customers care toll free number is displayed. Sharekhan also started giving ads on the various sites like Yahoo, Google etc.Sharekhan also started a scheme of free demat account opening and also the one in which the brokerage reduces to half of the original brokerage of 0.05% for Intraday and 0.05% for Delivery. I met people in different locations i.e. at central avenue road, Dharampeth, Gokulpeth road, SitaBuldi market road, Ramdaspeth road, wardha road, lokmat square, somalwada, Bajaj nagar, Ram Nagar, wardhaman nagar, Kampthee and Umred etc. This includes people from the Big Showrooms and malls like Big Bazzar, Chartered Accountants, Travel agents, business people, housewives, real estate people, Customer Relationship Managers, Assistant Sales Manager, and engineers of some companies. Once the customer fills up the KYC form, I call him/her after 5 working days to check if he has received the welcome kit which contains the login ID and password from Bombay office of Sharekhan. After he receives the kit I have to go to his place to install the software in his computer and also I have to tell him how to trade online i.e. I have to explain him the complete terminal. I am required to show the customer how to make a transaction and how to get access to the terminal. Also, if the client faces any problem, then those too had to be solved by me. So, it is all a very good learning experience for me. We have to take about 25 signatures of the customer on the KYC form. This is again a big challenge because they say that now they don`t have enough time to sign in 25 places. And if the sign mismatches even a little then there is again some long procedure to make that form acceptable. I had faced this kind of situation. My second client Mr.
Vilash from Umreds signature on the KYC form was different from that on his PAN card. So the form got rejected. And he even said that if this form will not proceed further then he don`t want to open the Demat account and asked me to return the cheque. Due to this I was very depressed for 2-3 days But then maybe I called him at a right time as he instantly asked me come and collect the bank proof statement and I was very happy that day. At Sharekhan, the atmosphere is perfectly cordial. There are senior trainees and back office people always to solve the difficulties we faced in approaching a customer, filling up the form, demonstrating the terminal, or solving the customers queries. Even our Chirag sir helped us in solving our problems. We are supposed to be formally dressed and required to report once daily at any time. In the beginning we were asked to report twice a day but then after 4 weeks he asked to report only once a day. This was done because our office is at Central Avenue road, near telephone exchange square and if we any appointment in the west Nagpur then it is very difficult for us to go and report in the office second time.

LIMITATIONS:
Due to bad market conditions people are becoming more and more pessimistic
about investing in the share market. After the Reliance IPO, SENSEX fell tremendously from 21000 to 15000. In this crash many people lost their money amounting from 2 Lakhs to 4-5 crore or even more. So when we approach them they tell us how much they used to trade in shares and how much money they have lost in the share market. They even tell us that we are doing our training (SIP) at very wrong time.
While telecalling sometimes the clients do not give positive response, may be
because they are really busy or may be not interested in the demat accounts and mutual funds.
While cold calling when we met the owners of big shops. They said that if they
had spare money they will invest it in their shops and not in the share market. They don`t want to take risk.
There are some negative rumors in the market about Sharekhan ltd. some people
have very bad experience with Sharekhan in terms of services and charges. This may not be the fault of the company but of some of the marketing executives who don`t disclose all the details about charges and products and once the demat account has been opened they don`t pay any attention to their old clients and thus fail to give proper services to the clients.
Sharekhan takes no charges for opening Demat accounts but there is a initial
deposit of Rs.10,000/-. It is just a margin money which has to be kept with Sharekhan till the account opens. As soon as the account opens this money can be kept as it is in the demat account or it can be completely used for buying shares or it can be partially used and the rest of the amount can be withdrawn. But clients fail to understand this. They think that these are the charges they start suspecting it. So its very difficult to convince them to deposit that much amount and open a demat account.
LEARNINGS:
Importance of information technology in the field of stock broking is immense.
The terminal through which the brokers buy and sell shares is a software that
completely depends on the internet. For Sharekhan, this terminal has been designed by the software company Spider.
Buying and selling through internet is fast. As soon as the prices of the shares goes up or comes down then they can be sold or purchased instantly within seconds.
Customer Relationship is very necessary for the company to retain the customers.
In Sharekhan I have learned how to maintain good relations with the customers
by giving them the proper service and solving their queries regarding the share market.
I have also learned how to maintain good relation with the employees and the cotrainees.
Learned the meaning of the words that are mostly used in the share market.
accounts and Mutual Funds. Learned how to use online trading terminal.
Enhanced my communication and convincing skills.
trading. Learned the various policies of the company. Learned to manage time properly.
Learned the importance of the Excel sheet. I maintained all my daily records in the Excel sheet. Got the practical knowledge of the market. Had a practical experience of working in a reputed organization.
AWARDS/REWARDS:
I received the stipend of Rs.269/- in the month of June.
