Every MMS student is required to complete a projection on a topic that was given to him for
the summer internship program as part of the curriculum. Accordingly. At Bajaj Allianz in
Mumbai, I have been given the project task of performing a fundamental and technical analysis
of the insurance sector.
The fundamental and technical analysis project teaches a number of areas of portfolio
management, including choosing equity shares, investing in various mutual funds, buying life
insurance, etc. The project attempts to create a portfolio that may provide investors with good
returns, and in order to do this, we considered how to analyze various equities and forecast
their future growth movement.
The first step in forecasting the future of any stock is to conduct fundamental and technical
analysis on it. Starting with the training sessions, we discussed the many investment
alternatives accessible to an investor and how to assist an investor in selecting the best option
so that he may get the most out of his money.
The Insurance industry has been chosen for examination as part of this internship program. The
Insurance sector has been subjected to fundamental and technical examination, with a large-
cap fund mix used for study. In this view, research has been conducted to analyze the equity
shares of firms in the Indian stock market's Insurance industry. The first stage in starting the
study is to do an economic analysis of the sector chosen for research, which will provide insight
into the sector's performance. The following stage is Index Formulation (of the funds chosen
from the sector to be studied) - this assists us in making various decisions on current day share
trading.
Further, Fundamental Analysis would be done where topline, bottom line, ratio analysis and
ratio ranking method will be applied for short listing 'growth-pick and value-pick companies'.
The following step would be the process of hedging, which basically means offsetting the loss
or minimizing the risk associated with the stocks shortlisted; the percentage of shares to be
hedged is directly proportional to the volatility of the stock held; if a share is highly volatile, a
large percentage of shares would be hedged to cover the loss, and vice versa.
The next element in the investigation will be Technical Analysis, which simply represents the
premise that share price movement follows a pattern and the factors that influence price
movement.
We would estimate the future price movement of stocks using technical analysis based on
previous price movement of the stocks. With the forecast result, investors would be able to
make financial decisions such as purchasing, holding, or selling stocks. This study assists us in
forecasting future market trends. The primary goal of technical analysis is to analyze the’
supply and demand of stocks'. Following the completion of all of the preceding procedures, the
outcome will be utilized to make investment, asset allocation, and risk coverage decisions.
1
As a result, this study will point potential investors in the appropriate way for investing their
money.
As a result, our analysis will point investors in the appropriate path for investing their money.
As a result, in order to maximize profits while limiting risk, investors must analyze both the
risk and return components of individual stocks within an industry. The results would be
utilized to make investment decisions, asset allocation decisions, and risk coverage decisions
when investing, and a fund sheet would be created appropriately.

Demand of IT Mid-Cap Industry
Scalable IT Solutions: Mid-cap enterprises in the IT industry provide a more personalised and
flexible approach than major corporations. They offer the flexibility to adapt to the unique
needs of organisations and deliver scalable solutions that may develop alongside their clients.
As companies seek scalable IT infrastructure, software applications, and services, the demand
for IT mid-cap firms grows.
Niche Expertise: Many IT mid-cap companies have developed niche expertise in specialized
areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality, and
augmented reality. Organizations looking to leverage these emerging technologies and
integrate them into their operations often turn to mid-cap firms due to their domain knowledge
and ability to provide focused solutions. The demand for these niche services drives the growth
of the IT mid-cap industry.
5

WHAT IS FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS?
Fundamental analysis (FA) is a way of identifying a security's underlying worth that entails
examining important economic and financial components. Fundamental analysis looks at all
aspects that can affect the value of a security, from macroeconomics like the state of the
economy and market conditions to microeconomics like managerial efficiency.
By comparing it to its current price, the goal is to arrive at a number that an investor can use to
assess whether an investment is cheap or overvalued. This technique to stock analysis is
considered as diametrically opposed to technical analysis, which makes price predictions based
on historical market data such as price and volume.
Fundamental analysis is most commonly employed to evaluate stocks, but it may be used to
evaluate any security, from bonds to derivatives. If you consider the fundamentals, from the
broader economy to the particular of the organization, you are conducting basic research.
Every stock analysis seeks to determine if a security is reasonably valued in comparison to the
market as a whole. Fundamental research from a macro to micro perspective is widespread
practice in order to identify securities that the market has mispriced.
Analysts typically analysts the overall health of the economy first, followed by the health of
the relevant industry, to establish the stock's fair market value. Only then do they focus on the
performance of certain companies.
Fundamental analysis uses publicly available data to determine the value of a stock or other
type of security. For example, an investor can conduct fundamental analysis on the value of a
bond by studying economic variables such as interest rates and the overall state of the economy,
then investigating information on the bond's performance.

HOW TO DO FUNDAMENTSL ANALYSIS OF STOCKS?
It is critical that you understand the industry in which you intend to invest. You will have a
better grasp of how the company is doing, if it is making the best long-term decisions, and
whether you should maintain or sell the shares. A good place to start is by visiting its website
and learning about the company, its management, its promoters, and its products.
The Indian stock exchange has around 5,500 stocks listed. Reading the financials of all of these
companies (balance sheet, profit-loss statement, etc.) may take years. Most corporations'
annual reports are 200-300 pages lengthy. It's also not worth your time to read each company's
report. A better strategy would be to first choose a few good organizations based on a few
criteria. Then, one by one, research these selected companies to find the one that best suits you.
For the initial screening of companies, different financial parameters such as Price to Earnings
(PE) ratio, Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio, ROE, CAGR, Current ratio, Dividend yield, and
so on can be used.
After you've selected the companies using the criteria listed above, the following step is to
investigate them. It is critical that you understand the business in which you are investing.
Because if you don't, you won't be able to determine whether the company is performing well
or poorly, whether it is making the right decisions for its future goals, whether its competitors
are performing well or poorly in comparison to them, and, most importantly, whether you
should hold or sell the stock.
As a result, it is critical that you understand the company. You should be aware of the
company's products/services, who is heading it (founders/promoters), management efficiency,
competitors, and so on.
A simple way to learn about the company is to go to its website. Visit the company's website
and look at the 'ABOUT', 'PRODUCTS', 'PROMOTERS/BOARD OF DIRECTORS', and so
on. Read the company's mission and vision statements. Furthermore, if you can locate the
company's annual report, download and read it. This report will provide detailed information
9
about the company. Furthermore, if you comprehend the company's products, services, and
vision and find it appealing, proceed to the following step. Otherwise, disregard such company.
As soon as you have a good understanding, you should start researching the company's
financial records, which include the balance sheet, profit-loss accounts, cash flow statements,
operational costs, sales, and expenses, among other things. If the company's net profit has
increased over the last five years, this could be interpreted as a good indicator for the company.
Its compound annual growth rate (CAGR), revenue, and other parameters can be evaluated.
Debt is a crucial factor that can have a detrimental impact on a company's profitability. If a
security has a large debt, it will be unable to perform adequately and pay you back. It is
recommended that you avoid companies that are heavily in debt. Always look for investing
opportunities in companies with debt-to-equity ratios less than one.
The company in which you wish to invest must perform well in comparison to its competition.
Look for a company that is outperforming the competition. It should have more future
prospects, upcoming initiatives, additional facilities, and so on.
When making long-term investments, fundamental analysis is the finest tool to use. Invest in
companies whose products will be relevant in 15 to 25 years.
Do not invest in a business only to ignore it afterwards. Maintain your knowledge of the
company in which you have invested. You should be kept up to date on all corporate news and
financial performance. If the corporation has a problem, sell the security.
10
BENEFITS OF FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
The main advantage of fundamental analysis is that it helps you in selecting a good stock after
considering all the complexities of the stock market. Therefore, investors can select stocks of
companies having solid business models and sustainable revenue projections. Fundamental
analysis keeps you updated about the economy, interest rates, etc. Investors can select stocks
after analyzing the companies from all angles. Thus, the probability of making profits is quite
high in such an investment.
Fundamental analysis helps in providing a strong base. It can help an investor pick up the right
stock from a bunch of stocks. An investor can check which stock (from the basket of stocks)
will be benefited once all the related factors are considered. These factors include interest rates,
GDP data, employment data, etc. After considering these, an investor can take a call
accordingly.
Most investment decisions tend to go wrong as a result of cognitive biases. However, numbers
don’t lie, and they limit the room for personal biases. This is critical for wealth creation over
the long run. Instead of establishing entry and exit points, fundamental analysis helps an
investor in taking a long-term view of the equity markets.
With the help of fundamental research and analysis, it is easier to detect red flags in the
financial statements of the company. These flags serve as a warning signal about possible
problems with the company.
11
WHO USES FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS?
1 Individual Investors: Many individual investors use fundamental analysis to evaluate the
financial health and prospects of companies before making investment decisions. They analyze
factors such as revenue, earnings, growth potential, industry trends, and competitive
positioning to assess the value of a stock.
2. Financial Analysts: Professionals working in investment banks, brokerage firms, and other
financial institutions rely heavily on fundamental analysis. They analyze financial statements,
industry reports, economic data, and other relevant information to provide investment
recommendations to clients or make informed trading decisions.
3. Portfolio Managers: Fund managers and portfolio managers use fundamental analysis to
construct and manage investment portfolios. They evaluate individual securities and make
investment decisions based on factors such as company earnings, valuation, industry trends,
and risk factors.
4. Investment Bankers: Investment bankers use fundamental analysis to assess the value of
companies involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), initial public offerings (IPOs), and
other corporate transactions. They analyze financial statements, market trends, and industry
dynamics to determine the fair value of a company and negotiate deal terms.
5. Credit Analysts: Banks and lending institutions employ credit analysts to evaluate the
creditworthiness of borrowers. Fundamental analysis helps them assess a company's ability to
repay loans by examining its financial statements, cash flow, debt levels, and other relevant
factors.
7. Institutional Investors: Large institutional investors such as pension funds, mutual funds, and
hedge funds employ fundamental analysis to guide their investment decisions. They analyze a
wide range of factors, including company financials, industry analysis, management quality,
and market trends, to make informed investment choices.
12
WHAT IS TECHNICAL ANALYSIS?
Technical analysis is a method or procedure that forecasts the anticipated future price
movement of securities, such as a stock or currency pair, using market data.
The assumption that all market participants' aggregate activity - buying and selling - accurately
represent all relevant information pertaining to a traded asset and so consistently assign a fair
market value to the security underpins the legitimacy of technical analysis.
Technical analysis methods are used to examine how supply and demand for a securities effect
price, volume, and implied volatility variations. It is based on the concept that a security's
historical trading activity and price fluctuations can be useful indications of the security's future
price movements when combined with appropriate investment or trading guidelines.
It is frequently used to produce short-term trading signals from various charting tools, but it
can also aid in determining a security's strength or weakness in relation to the larger market or
one of its sectors. This data assists analysts in improving their overall valuation estimate.
In the late 1800s, Charles Dow and the Dow Theory pioneered technical analysis as we know
it today.1 Several notable researchers, including William P. Hamilton, Robert Rhea, Edson
Gould, and John Magee, contributed to Dow Theory principles, assisting in the formation of
its foundation. Nowadays, technical analysis includes hundreds of patterns and signals created
over many years of research.
For millennia, traders, analysts, and investors have relied on technical analysis, which has
gained widespread support among regulators and academics due to its behavioral finance
characteristics. This reading provides an overview of the topic, compares technical analysis to
other schools of thought, and covers some of the most important instruments employed in
technical analysis. Despite the fact that technical analysis adheres to set norms and principles,
the interpretation of results is often subjective. That is, while certain components, such as
indicator computation, follow certain criteria, the interpretation of findings is frequently
dependent on a blending of methodologies that suit the individual analyst's style and approach.
13
HOW TO DO TECHNICAL ANALYSIS?
Historical Price:
The price of a stock is expected to move in a trend or cycle, and hence previous price levels
play an important role in stock market analysis utilizing technical analysis. The history price
of any stock informs us a lot about its future price. Traders use previous performance on their
charts to determine the best entry and exit positions for their trades. This is how technical
analysis investing works, and many fundamental investors use technical analysis to determine
the best entry points for every company.
Technical Charts:
Technical analysis charts are the only weapon in the armory of any technical trader. Price (y-
axis) is displayed against time (x-axis) in linear or other formats in this chart. The other form
could be a candlestick chart (which is generally liked), a point and figure chart, a bar chart, or
a Renko chart, among others. Candlestick charts, on the other hand, are the most popular type
of technical chart.
1. Time Frames
2. Technical Indicators
Time Frames:
This time period represents the duration of the candlestick chart's range. For example, if the
time frame is 5-minutes, a single candle will represent the price every 5 minutes. The time span
ranges from one minute to a year and is considered one of the most well-known technical
analysis stock market strategies. The following are some well-known time frames:
• 5 minutes chart • 15 minutes chart • Hourly chart • Daily chart • Weekly chart
• Monthly chart
For technical analysis, intraday traders favor time frames of 5 minutes or 15 minutes. Investors
with a longer investment horizon, on the other hand, often prefer a daily, weekly, or monthly
time period chart.
14
Technical Indicators:
The chart just shows the price fluctuation at various points in time. When conducting stock
analysis utilizing technical analysis techniques, a trader must use a variety of indicators to have
a better understanding of the stock's likely behavior. These indicators are briefly outlined in
this section and can help a user undertake technical analysis of equities.
• Relative Strength Index (RSI): This is a momentum indicator that can tell you if an investment
is overbought (RSI > 70) or oversold (RSI 30).
• Support and resistance: These are price points on a stock's chart that show where the share
price is expected to decrease (support) and where it is expected to rise (resistance). These points
are drawn from the historical share price trend.
• Demand and Supply Zones: These zones are a more technical extension of support and
resistance. Buyers are waiting in the demand zone to purchase the stock, while sellers are
waiting in the supply zone to sell it.
• Moving Averages: This is a more advanced representation of a stock's average price that is
used to identify trends in a chart.
• Volume: As the name implies, this is the active volume of a share traded on the market at any
given time. Higher volumes indicate greater liquidity, and vice versa.
Performing technical stock analysis can help you determine the following:
15
• Historically persistent price fluctuations.
You can forecast the price trends of your target stocks using technical analysis. This will assist
you in determining the best timing to enter or quit the market and book profits on your trades.
In this regard, time charts and candlestick patterns can be useful.
You can use technical market analysis to forecast future market patterns such as uptrends,
downtrends, and sideways trends. Thus, based on your study, you may plan your transactions
to maximize profits.
Technical analysis can also assist you comprehend the mentality of other market participants.
It can help you gain a thorough understanding of their trading actions and investor emotions.
The ability to recognize early signals of a price trend reversal is a significant advantage of
employing technical analysis. You can accomplish this by using price volume analysis to
square off your positions before your asset prices decline.
Technical analysis can provide a wealth of information through support and resistance levels,
volatility, chart and candlestick patterns, and so on. This will assist you in taking the right
positions and thus building a more substantial portfolio. Furthermore, this type of information
is useful for all types of trading, including intraday, short-term, long-term, and swing trading.
16
• Helps Determine Target and Stop Loss Price:
You can create your target and stop loss positions based on technical analysis because it helps
predict future price patterns. Furthermore, by doing so, you may establish a clear strategy for
achieving your goals based on your risk tolerance.
1. Traders: Short-term traders, such as day traders or swing traders, often rely heavily on
technical analysis. They use charts, patterns, and technical indicators to identify short-term
price trends, determine entry and exit points, and make quick trading decisions.
2. Active Investors: Active investors who engage in frequent buying and selling of securities
may use technical analysis alongside other tools to time their trades and take advantage of
market trends. They may incorporate technical indicators and chart patterns into their decision-
making process.
4. Quantitative Traders: Some quantitative trading firms and algorithmic traders utilize
technical analysis as part of their trading strategies. They may develop automated trading
systems that incorporate technical indicators and patterns to generate buy and sell signals.
5. Risk Managers: Risk managers and professionals involved in risk assessment and portfolio
management may use technical analysis to monitor market trends, identify potential risks, and
adjust portfolio allocations accordingly. Technical analysis can provide insights into the overall
market sentiment and help manage risk exposure.
6. Individual Investors: Like fundamental analysis, technical analysis is also used by individual
investors who prefer a more technical approach to investing. They may learn and apply
technical analysis techniques to make investment decisions based on price patterns, trends, and
other technical indicators.

The process of Fundamental Analysis involves multiple steps which are as follows
38
Management of ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plan)
ULIP full form is Unit Linked Insurance Plans. ULIP plan is a life insurance product that offers
insurance coverage to the insured along with the benefit of investment returns. In ULIP plan a
part of the premium is used to provide insurance coverage to the insured’s family, whereas the
other half of the premium amount is invested in market-linked securities as chosen by the
insured like equity, debt and money market funds to gain profitable returns on investment in a
long-term.
ULIPs are considered as a popular option of investment as it not only provides the advantage
of life cover and wealth creation but also offers the benefit of tax saving under Section 80C
and 10(10D) of Income Tax Act.
We were supposed to create our own ULIP plans, choosing companies from the sector given,
which in my case was Automobiles, based on the ratio analysis and compare the two side by
side to maximize profits for the investors. The companies might deliver better results but I
would not recommend one to invest in my plan right now.
P/E RATIO

For overvalued stock first we calculate growth pick then we have to find out peg ratio.
Peg ratio= P/e /Annual eps growth.
If peg ratio is between 0-1.5 than we select it as a growth pick and if peg ratio is greater than
1.5, we reject it.

Finding Ratios for the Selected Companies
RATIOS
The Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B Ratio) is a financial indicator used to evaluate a company's price
in relation to its book value. It compares a company's market price per share to its book value
per share. The P/B ratio can provide insight into the market's opinion of a company's financial
strength, asset quality, and growth prospects in the IT Mid-Cap sector.
Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S Ratio): The P/S ratio compares the market capitalization of a firm to
its total revenue. It offers an alternative value indicator, which is especially valuable for
companies with fluctuating or negative earnings. A lower P/S ratio could suggest an
undervalued stock.
The Current Ratio is a financial ratio that measures a company's ability to meet its short-term
obligations with its short-term assets. It is a crucial ratio for analysing the liquidity and financial
health of companies in various sectors, including the IT Mid-Cap sector. The Current Ratio is
calculated by dividing a company's current assets by its current liabilities.
Return on Equity (ROE): ROE calculates a company's profitability by expressing net income
as a percentage of shareholders' equity. It demonstrates how successfully the company is
utilising its shareholders' investments. A higher ROE indicates greater profitability and more
effective capital utilisation.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is a financial statistic used to evaluate the profitability
and efficiency of a company's capital investments. It is especially essential in the examination
of IT Mid-Cap companies, where capital investments play a critical role in generating growth
and innovation. ROCE evaluates the return on capital used by a corporation, which includes
both stock and debt. It is determined as a percentage by dividing the company's operational
profit (earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT) by its capital employed.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Trading Strategies
1) BULL180/Bullish Engulfing: -
This strategy can be used when the price of stock is falling from past few candlesticks and the
time frame which is used in this strategy is 5 minutes. The major condition is that there should
be red candles in the past few time as it indicates the falling of the price of stock and then there
should be a green candle which indicates the rising or increasing of the price of stock and size
of the green candle should be greater than the red candle and both the candles should be 180
degree to each other. When one green candle comes, which is bigger in size from the last one
red candle and other green candle also starts to appear up in the chart then the strategy suggests
that it is the perfect time to invest in the stock and buy that stock.
Preferably the stop loss price should be the size of the last green candle and the triggered price
should be as the double of the stop loss price.
2) BEAR180/Bearish Engulfing: -
This strategy can be used when the chart of the stock is going towards a positive side and the
price of the stock is increasing continuously and the time graph should be 5 minutes only in
this too. There should be some green candlesticks in the required situation and when the red
candlestick comes up and other red one starts generating the strategy suggests that it is the right
time to short sell the stock assuming that the stock will fall. The stop loss price should be
equivalent to last red candle size and the triggered price should be as double as the stop loss
preferably.
46
3) 15 Minutes Breakout: -
The 15-minute rule is a straightforward and powerful one for the day trader. Simply, it says
this: if a stock is in a trending formation and breaks its 15-minute high (that is, the high created
in the first 15 minutes of trading), it is likely that it will continue in the direction of the break
upward. The stop loss price should be at 1% and the triggered price should be as double as the
stop loss preferably.
(Buy)
(Sell)
47
4) ORB 45: -
The breakout strategy is quite simple. When the price of a stock cross 15-30 min opening range,
it considers an opening range breakout. Based on the breakout pattern, it can be figured out that
the bullish or bearish trend. One of the best things about the trade that the entry-exit point is
easily identifiable. The concept was developed by Toby Crabel.

(Sell)
48
Technical analysis is a tool or process that uses market data to forecast the likely future price
movement of a security, such as a stock or currency pair.
The theory underlying technical analysis's validity is the idea that the collective actions -
buying and selling - of all market participants accurately reflect all relevant information
pertaining to a traded security, and thus consistently assign a fair market value to the security.
Price charts are analysed by technical traders in order to forecast price movement. The time
frames considered and the specific technical indicators that a trader chooses to use are the two
key variables for technical analysis.
The time ranges displayed on charts for technical analysis range from one minute to monthly
or even yearly. time spans. Popular time frames that technical analysts most frequently examine
include:
• 5-minute chart
• 15-minute chart
• Hourly chart
• Daily chart
The time span that a trader chooses to analyse is usually influenced by that trader's unique
trading style. Intra-day traders, or those who open and close trades within a single trading day,
like to analyse price action on shorter time frames, such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts. Long-
term traders that maintain market positions overnight or for extended periods of time are more
likely to use hourly, 4-hour, daily, or even weekly charts to study markets.
Price change that occurs within a 15-minute time window can be quite significant for an intra-
day trader seeking for a chance to profit on price fluctuations that occur over a single trading
day. However, the same price action may not be particularly noteworthy or predictive for long-
term trading purposes when examined on a daily or weekly chart.
49
LONG TERM STRATEGIES
1) Rounding Bottom –
A cup and handle price pattern are a technical indicator that appears on a security's price
chart as a cup with a handle, with the cup shaped like a "u" and the handle slanting
downward. The cup and handle pattern are seen as a bullish indicator, with lower
transaction volume on the pattern's right side. The image below depicts a typical cup
and handle combination. Set a purchase stop order immediately above the upper trend
line of the handle. Orders should be executed only if the price breaks through the
pattern's resistance. Traders who adopt an aggressive entry strategy may experience
high slippage and trigger a false breakout.
50
3) Bump & Run Reversal
The Bump and Run chart pattern is an amazing reversal pattern that can help you
pinpoint the end of one trend and the beginning of another. The Bump and Run trading
strategy is a high-risk market method that seeks to profit from excessively volatile
markets. The Bump and Run trading strategy is one of the most important reversal
trading strategies you will almost surely need to understand. The psychological
explanation for the Bump and Run reversal's power is that it capitalises on the result of
excessive thought. This leads the price to move to the extreme too soon, resulting in a
reversal. The Bump and Run Reversal pattern is effective on daily, weekly, and monthly
time frames. As previously noted, the pattern is designed to identify speculative
ventures that are unsustainable over time. Because prices rose so quickly to generate
the left side of the hump, the subsequent drop could be just as significant.
51
4) Head & Shoulder
A head and shoulders pattern is a chart formation that appears as a baseline with three
peaks, the outside two of which are close in height and the tallest in the centre. In
technical analysis, a head and shoulders pattern is a chart structure that indicates a
bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The head and shoulders pattern is one of the most
reliable trend reversal patterns. It is one of several top patterns that, to varying degrees
of accuracy, mark the end of an upward trend. The head and shoulders chart is said to
reflect a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal and to signal the conclusion of an upward
trend. Investors regard it as one of the most reliable trends. reversal formations.
5) Double Top
A double top design is formed by combining two successive rounded tops. The initial
rounding of the top results in an upside-down U shape. Because they occur after a long
bullish run, rounding tops are typically indicative of a bearish reversal. The conclusions
drawn from double tops will be identical. When a double top occurs, the peak of the
second rounded top is usually much lower than the peak of the first rounded top,
indicating resistance and fatigue. Double tops are unusual occurrences, with their
formation typically indicating that investors are seeking ultimate rewards from a strong
trend. Double peaks are typically followed by a negative reversal, allowing traders to
profit by selling the stock during a drop.
52
6) Double Bottom
The inverse of double top patterns is double bottom patterns. The outcomes of this
pattern are diametrically opposed. Following a single rounded bottom pattern, a double
bottom is formed, which can be the first indication of an impending reversal. Near the
end of a protracted bearish trend, rounding bottom formations are most typical. The
double bottom pattern, created by two consecutive rounded bottoms, could also signal
that investors are following the security in order to profit from its final push lower
towards a support level. A double bottom frequently implies a strong comeback,
allowing investors to profit from a bullish climb. Following a double bottom, popular
trading strategies include taking long positions in order to profit from rising asset prices.
53
MEDIUM TERM STRATEGIES
1) Ascending Triangle
2) Descending triangle
54
3) Symmetrical triangle
55
4) Rectangle
A pricing chart pattern is a rectangle pattern. A rectangle is formed when the price
consistently approaches the same horizontal support and resistance levels. Only
between the two horizontal levels can the price change, making a rectangle. A rectangle
is a technical analysis chart pattern. The term refers to a condition in which the price of
an asset trades inside a narrow range with resistance and support levels parallel to each
other, like the shape of a rectangle. When investors are unsure about the long-term
direction of an investment, the limited range, or rectangle, appears. As a result, it rises
and falls within the defined range, unable to move either way. Investors will keep an
eye on the price of the asset as it tests the levels of support and resistance several times
before breaking out in a rectangle formation. When a security breaks out of the
rectangle's range, it is said to be heading in that direction. Not every break-out is a
success. For instance, the price could break out of the rectangle to the upside before
immediately falling back inside. This is referred to as a missed breakout.
56
5) Price Channel
On a chart, a price channel arises when the price of a security is constrained by two
parallel lines. Depending on the trend, the channel can be described as horizontal,
ascending, or sinking. Price channels are commonly used by technical analysts to gauge
the velocity and direction of a security's price movement, as well as to identify trading
channels. When the price of a security is buffeted by supply and demand factors, it
forms a price channel and might trend upward, downward, or sideways. These effects
have an impact on a security's price and can result in the establishment of a long-term
price channel. The dominance of one factor determines the price channel's trending
direction.
57
SHORT-TERM STRATEGIES
1) Doji
A doji candlestick emerges when the open and closing prices of an asset are almost
identical over a specific time period, and it generally suggests a reversal pattern for
technical analysts. A doji, which can be solitary or plural, is generated when the open
and closing prices of a stock are virtually similar. Some observers take this as an
indication of a trend reversal. It could, however, be a time when buyers or sellers are
gaining momentum for a continuation trend. Doji patterns are common during periods
of consolidation and can help analysts detect future price breakouts.
2) Hammer
A hammer is a price pattern in candlestick charting that occurs when an asset trades
substantially lower than its opening price but climbs during the period to close around
the opening price. This pattern yields a hammer-shaped candlestick with a bottom
shadow at least twice the size of the real body. The body of the candlestick represents
the difference between the open and closing prices, while the shadow represents the
high and low values for the time. A hammer occurs when the price of a security falls,
indicating that the market is looking for a bottom. Hammers signal that sellers are likely
to yield in order to produce a bottom, which is accompanied by a price increase,
indicating a potential price direction reversal.
58
3) Hanging Man
The expression "hanging man" refers to the shape of the candle and what the appearance
of this pattern suggests. The dangling man indicates a possible upward reversal. While
selling an asset solely on the basis of a hanging man pattern is a risky decision, many
believe it is an important piece of proof that market sentiment is shifting. The intensity
of the ascent has waned. When a hanging man emerges during an uptrend, it indicates
that purchasing power has decreased. While demand has been driving up the stock
price, this day saw a lot of selling. While buyers were able to bring the price to where
it started, the first sell-off suggests that an increasing number of investors feel the price
will rise. The pattern provides a chance for candlestick traders to exit existing long
positions or even go short in anticipation of a price decline.
59
4) Inverted Hammer
A chart pattern that typically emerges near the end of a drop when buyer demand raises
the price of an item is an inverted hammer candlestick. It gets its name from the fact
that it looks like an inverted hammer in real life, with a very small bottom shadow and
a massive top shadow that is more than twice the size of its actual body. It is a bullish
reversal pattern, with the extended upper wick signalling that bullish traders are
attempting to push the security's price higher. It is not to be confused with the bearish
shooting star pattern, which appears at the end of an upswing, or the hanging man
pattern. The inverted hammer pattern is just a predictor of future price movement. Not
a definitive signal for investing in one particular commodity.
60
5) Shooting Star
A bearish candlestick with a long upper shadow, little or no lower shade, and a little
actual body at the day's low is known as a shooting star candlestick. It happens in an
upward direction. To put it another way, a shooting star is a candlestick that appears as
a security opens, advances significantly, and then returns to the open at the end of the
day. To be categorised as a shooting star, a candlestick must form a shooting star during
a price gain. Furthermore, the gap between the day's highest and lowest prices must be
greater than double the size of the shooting star's body. Under the real body, there
should be very little to no shadow.
61
Futures –
A futures contract is for the purchase or sale of a commodity or asset at a defined price and on
a specific date in the future. Futures contracts are standardized using certain quantity caps and
expiration dates. Futures contracts may be used to trade commodities like wheat and oil as well
as precious metals like gold and silver.

INSURANCE AND PRODUCT
The insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions
and circumstances under which the insurer will compensate the insured. The amount of
money charged by the insurer to the policyholder for the coverage set forth in the
insurance policy is called the premium. If the insured experiences a loss which is
potentially covered by the insurance policy, the insured submits a claim to the insurer
for processing by a claims adjuster. The insurer may hedge its own risk by taking out
reinsurance, whereby another insurance company agrees to carry some of the risks,
especially if the primary insurer deems the risk too large for it to carry.
Term insurance policy – “Flexi income goal” having the term period of 50 years in
which the pay term period is 12 years where the policy holder has to pay the premium
amount of Rs 50,000 and for the next twelve years he/she will get guaranteed fixed
income for the next twelve years. If unfortunately, the owner of the policy dies during
the first 10 years, then the family of the policy owner will get a cover of Rs 7,21,848
and if the owner dies during the 11th year then the family receives the cover of Rs.
8,30,125 and Rs. 8,40,953 if the owner dies during the 12th year. However, if owner
dies after the completion of pay term, then the family will receive the fixed income for
the coming 12 years.
“POS Goal Suraksha” having the term period of 20 years in which the pay term for 12
years where the policy holder has to pay the premium amount of Rs 50,000 and for the
next twelve years he/she will get Rs. 15,28,500 in the 20th year.

RECOMMENDATIONS/ FINDINGS
RECOMMENDATIONS/ FINDINGS
Fundamental and technical analysis are two methodologies that are commonly used to examine
companies or sectors, including the IT Mid-Cap Sector. Here is an introduction of both
methodologies, as well as some suggestions for assessing the IT Mid-Cap Sector.
Examine the experience, strategy, and risk management practises of the management teams.
Long-term success requires strong leadership and good governance.
Consider how macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, economic growth, and regulatory
changes affect the IT Mid-Cap sector. These elements can have a substantial impact on the
sector's profitability and performance.
Use technical analysis to find probable entry and exit points for trading or investing. To identify
trends and reversals, use price charts, moving averages, volume analysis, and indicators.
Keep an eye out for IT Mid-Cap news and developments, such as legislative changes, mergers
and acquisitions, or technological improvements. Keep up to date on developments that may
have an impact on the sector's future prospects.
Keep in mind that investment selections should be based on a thorough examination of both
fundamental and technical variables. It is also critical to diversify your portfolio and think about
your risk tolerance and investing goals.

KEY LEARNINGS
KEY LEARNINGS
On an individual level, the project has assisted me in understanding- The workings of the
industry- A comprehensive investigation has aided in discovering and comprehending the
industry's how and what. How does a specific government action or pronouncement by the
board of directors effect the company and thus the industry (in a larger sense)?
A thorough study of Ratios- Fundamental analysis has aided in understanding the methods and
significance of the financial or non-financial ratios that are employed when conducting
research. Rather than being academic, the practical component of the learning assisted in
responding to the ratios on a better and higher level.
Learning about a Fund Manager's Role- During theoretical training sessions, there was a lot of
discussion on how fund managers think and work, and what their responsibilities are to their
investors. The large amount of AUM that they manage, how it is invested, and how it is hedged
against the market's threats.
Mutual Funds: The Fundamentals Mutual funds have evolved into a modern financial tool.
Less risky and more rewarding. Training sessions aided in learning the process from inception
to updating and basic operation. Some new ideas, including as AUM and NAV, were
introduced, and we were thoroughly taught in these new financial jargons. Various sorts of
mutual funds were also discussed.

CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSION
We discovered how fundamental analysis may aid in long-term investing and how someone
looking for a long-term investment can benefit from it. It enables us to identify whether a
company is overpriced or under-priced in relation to the industry P/E ratio. The analysis was
then utilised to determine the growth and value choices, which were then used to construct a
portfolio. We allocated funds to each firm in the portfolio based on the weightings granted to
them based on key ratios in the sector. The NAV of the portfolio was then generated using the
AUM and number of units, and it was updated on a regular basis to guarantee that it
outperformed the market index benchmark. We learned to keep an eye on the market and grow
our business. portfolio at this time.
We learned about short-term investments and how technical analysis might help us with them.
It is usually used during the day. For short-term investing, use a variety of indicators and
patterns. By performing technical analysis on stocks and examining the patterns of change in
stock prices, we understood the difference between fundamental and technical analysis of
equities stocks. We learnt about many types of charts, trend lines, and other tools that help us
better understand the market in the technical segment.
In addition to basic and technical analysis, we learn about mutual funds and different types of
mutual funds, how to invest in mutual funds, and their benefits. Investors can choose any stock
to invest in the stock market. Before investing, the investor should conduct a thorough
examination of the market, prior trends, and the company in which he or she want to invest.
Whereas most investors focus on the company's fundamentals (turnover, profit, growth, etc.),
technical analysis focuses on the share price itself. The trader must design their own techniques
in Technical Analysis. As a result, they must be adaptable to the circumstances. Because
markets perform differently at different times, a one-size-fits-all strategy may not always
succeed.
