    Financial Products A case study on Niveshak Mpowered from

    Kolkata. I got to interact with expert and aided my learning process

    immensely.Possibly the most challenging concept investors risk taking

    perception towards Financial Products. But such knowledge is critical

    for strong understanding of investor behavior will help shed light on

    what is important to the investors and also suggest the important

    influences on investor decision-making. Using this information,

    marketers can create marketing programs that they believe will be of

    interest to customers. It describes the major factors influencing the

    investor investing behavior in financial products.

    & attributes so as to design a successful and an acceptable financial

    product . Not only has competition become intense but over and above

    with the market being flooded with many me-too financial products,

    the challenge before the marketer is to understand the diversity ofconsumer expectations and offer different facility and risk cover

    accordingly. Thus the success asset allocation company will be

    determined by how effective it has been in meeting the diverse

    investors needs and wants by treating each investor as unique and

    offering products to suit his or her needs. The study is very much

    significant because it brings out of difference in various parameters

    like rate of return, investment goal, and downward fluctuation in

    investment portfolio etc, behind investment between the financial

    product of a particular company, and these are the main attributes

    10

  • 8/7/2019 05 Project Report Abhishek

    11/74

    positions are glaringly missing in the country. A successful sales &

    marketing career in the financial market requires a thorough grooming

    at the grass-root level, and that is where this program commands

    immense value.

    NML believes that large scale employment opportunities

    exist in this field for graduates and fresh MBAs, if empowered properly.

    program titled "Niveshak Interaction Program" for a total duration of

    two months.

    for a budding student; but also shapes up the professional in the

    student as a result of mentoring from an experienced Mentor. This

    paves the way for a strong and rewarding career. The entire program

    is designed such that student will also be made to acquire the AMFI &

    IRDA licenses. In addition, the internship also enables a student to

    earn sizeable money.

    Niveshak Interaction Program - Objectives

    Today the Indian Capital market requires the inclusion of a wide base

    of retail investors to counter the volatility caused by the inflow &

    outflow of foreign money on which we have excessive dependence.Indian middle class savers the capital market via Mutual Funds,

    Insurance etc. largely share the capital market (only amount 2% of the

    salary savers participate). Only through a process of personalized

    education can they be attracted to join

    To ensure the delivery of"Investor.Education@home" and

    facilitate investments, India needs to grow a new cadre of financialadvisors who are not merely "Salesmen" but rather "Advisors" -

    month diploma program.

    provide the environment through an experimental learning proven to

    avoid the temptation of merely hard selling financial products but

    BUDGETING

    THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

    3.1 - RISK

    Risk is the uncertainty concerning the occurrence of loss.

    it is a part of our life. No one can escape it. When risk

    occurs, it comes with its concomitant perils. In the case of the life, if

    someone dies, the family may suffer. In case of property- business or

    personal- it may impact the business or household. Therefore, what

    can be done to remove or reduce the economic impact of the risk?

    15

  • 8/7/2019 05 Project Report Abhishek

    16/74

    A timely planning and going in for protection against

    various types of risks through a variety of insurance policies can help

    an individual in protecting ones wealth.

    Classification of risk

    Pure risk:

    It is defined as a situation where there is only a loss or no loss

    (neutral). There cannot be any gain in this situation. Like premature

    death or medical expenses or damage to property by fire.

    Speculative risk:

    It is defined as a situation where the outcome can be loss or no loss or

    gain from the event. Like investment in property or investment in

    share market.

    3.2 - TWO COMPONENTS ON RISK TAKING

    In our country most of the people are willing to take risk. They will saythat they are risk takers , they have high Risk appetite , they love

    challenge, and all kind of nonsense. But they forget to consider their

    Ability to take risk. Its not important enough whether you are willing

    to take risk or not , your situation should also allow you to take risk.

    Ignoring your Ability to take risk can lead to situation like above

    example.

    1. Willingness to Take Risk:This depends on our inherent

    nature, our attitude towards life, finance domain, Knowledge of

    financial products etc. Our whole upbringing will contribute

    towards this, because our willingness to take risk will depend on

    our inherent self , who we are from inside . So you can either be

    extra cautious by nature and may not be willing to take risks or

    you can be a big risk taker who is willing to sell his pants and bet

    money on anything. This is answer to Can you take risk ?

    17/74

    2. Ability to Take Risk: This is the next important part in Risk

    taking. Does your situation allow you to take risk or not? It has

    nothing to do with your willingness to take risk , you can be very

    much a risk taker and dieing to bet on the next multibagger orinvest in that 100% return a year mutual fund , but you have to

    consider a worst case at the end. You have to visualize the worst

    case as if it has happened after you take that risky decision . This

    is answer to Shall you take the risk ?

    3.3 - PROCEDURE OF RISK MANAGEMENT:

    Risk avoidance- involving the elimination of a threatened

    financial loss

    Risk reduction- Involving strategies to minimize the amount of

    loss if a loss does occur.

    Risk transfer- sharing the burden of loss Means use of third

    party like insurance.

    Risk retention- retention of risk for higher return in future,

    because high risk involve high return

    3.5 FINAMCIAL PLANNING

    Financial decisions are the basis to most of what we do in our lives.

    Poor financial decisions can cause great anxiety and can also lead to

    bankruptcy, whereas a well thought out sound financial decisions can

    lead to a prosperous lifestyle.

    Financial Planning is the process of identifying a persons

    financial goal, evaluating existing resources, and designing the

    financial strategies that help the person to achieve goals.

    Financial Planning or Advisory is a profession which

    requires good communication skill and well knowledge of products and

    services and working of financial service industry. As a financial

    planner one can work in a bank, insurance company, a broker house,

    advantages. The following highlights the importance of financial

    planning:

    --To protect yourself and your loved ones against financial risk

    --To achieve the best possible lifestyle, suitable to your income

    streams.

    --To plan for the best possible education to children

    --To build up adequate corpus for your long term goals

    --To be able to retire when you want to and want

    Its important to see if we can achieve the lifestyle we yearn for,

    such a dream home, that snazzy car, educating children well or

    the biggest dream of all to retire early and enjoy life peacefully.

    3.6 - BUDGETING

    budgeting is a process for tracking, planning, and controlling the inflow

    and outflow of income. Relying solely on our overworked and

    overloaded minds to manage such a complex process has many short

    comings. The solution is to analyze our current situation, determine

    19

    20/74

    your goals, and develop a written plan against which you will measure

    your progress.

    Work of budgeting process

    The budgeting process begins with gathering data that makes up your

    financial history. next, you use this information to do a cash flow

    analysis. you will calculate your net cash flow, which tells you cash is

    coming in faster than its going out, or vice versa. Then you will

    determine your net worth. Having a snapshot of your present financial

    condition, you will define your financial objectives and create a

    spending plan to achieve them. Finally, you will periodically check yourprogress against the plan and make adjustments as needed.

    PROBLEM FACED IN DATA COLLECTION

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    5.1 LOCALE OF STUDY

    As the time and the cost are the two main constraints in this research

    so it is not possible to consider the whole pouch milk market so the

    survey was conducted in Durgapur only.

    5.2 METHODS OF SAMPLE SELECTION

    With in the stipulated time it is not possible to collect data from all the

    consumers so I have chosen the sampling process.

    i. Sampling technique: The data collected from the samples in

    Random sampling process. It is the process of selection of a group of

    units in such a manner that every unit of population has an equal

    chance of being included in the sample.

    ii. Sample size: It denotes the number of elements to be included in

    the study. Due to time constraints the sample size chosen is very

    small. The total no of sample is 40.

    5.3 TECHNIQUES OF DATA COLLECTION

    26

  • 8/7/2019 05 Project Report Abhishek

    27/74

    Once sampling plan has been determined, the marketing researcher

    must decide how the subject should be conducted.

    The method of data collection is survey method. In this survey the

    personal interview method is adopted as a technique of data collectionas it is a versatile method. And through it more questions can be asked

    and records of additional observations become easier from the

    respondents.

    5.4 TOOLS OF DATA COLLECTION.

    In this survey the main tool of collecting primary data from the

    investors is

    Questionnaire as this is the most common instrument used to collect

    data and the form of question can influence the response. The

    questions were then prepared in order to fulfill the information

    requirements as identified earlier in the study objectives... All the

    questions in the questionnaire are close-ended.

    5.5 DEVELOPMENT OF QUESTIONNAIRE

    Questionnaire is developed according to the problem of the research.

    In this research data collected in nominal scale.

    5.6 TYPE OF DATA SOURCESA researcher can gather primary data, secondary data or both.

    PRIMARY DATA are data freshly gathered for a specific purpose.

    SECONDARY DATA are data that were collect for other purpose and

    already exist somewhere.

    i. Primary data: In this research the primary data are collected

    from the respondents through the survey conducted. These data are

    27

  • 8/7/2019 05 Project Report Abhishek

    28/74

    collected for analyses purpose and from the analysis of those data the

    inferences is drawn.

    ii. Secondary data: In this research the secondary data are those

    data which are collected from the Internet, different books, journals,etc. These data are collected for the purpose that which are the key

    variables that can influence the investors risk taking perception

    towards Financial Products.

    5.7 METHODS OF PROCESSING DATA AND

    TOOLS

    USED

    After the data collection the very next step is the processing of data.

    For that the data are tabulated in the particular form of the

    questionnaire. Then by Hypotheses testing and with the help of

    different chart representation the inferences is drawn the inferences

    based on each question. Mainly the Statistical tools are used here for

    hypothesis testing are (1) Chi-square testof goodness of fit - This test is conducted to

    identify the consumers preference is same or not across the different

    variables.

    (2) Chi-square test of independence This test is conducted to

    identify which factor is influenced by which factor.

    5.8 PROBLEM FACED IN DATA COLLECTION

    6.2 - DATA ANALYSIS & RESULTS

    H1: Preferences influence the rate of return.

    Based on this hypothesis question no (1) is developed to identify

    preferences about rate of return. So I want to do chi- square test

    (Goodness of fit). Here total no. of sample is 40, so the expected no of

    investors in all the four investment goal categories are 10.

    H0: Preferences remains same across the rate of return level.

    H1: Preferences change across the rate of return level.

    Here critical value of chi-square = 7.815 with 3 degree of freedom at

    5% level of significance.

    Observed value = 17.4 with 3 degree of freedom.

    Since observed value of chi- square is greater than critical value 7.815

    at 5% level of significance with degree of freedom 3.

    So the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is

    accepted.

    Inference

    So by the testing of hypothesis no. 1 we can say that all the rate of

    return level are not equally preferable by the investors is statistically

    significant at 5% level of significance.

    Here critical value of chi-square = 7.815 with 3 degree of freedom at

    5% level of significance.

    Observed value = 37.6 with 3 degree of freedom.

    Since observed value of chi- square is greater than critical value 7.815

    at 5% level of significance with degree of freedom 3.

    So the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is

    accepted.

    Inference

    So by the testing of hypothesis no. 2, we can say that all the

    investment portfolio. So I want to do chi- square test (Goodness of fit).

    Here total no. of sample is 40, so the expected no of investors in all the

    four categories is 10

    H0: Preferences remains same across the rate of return level.

    H1: Preferences change across the rate of return level.

    Here critical value of chi-square = 7.815 with 3 degree of freedom at

    5% level of significance.

    Observed value = 32.2 with 3 degree of freedom.

    Since observed value of chi- square is greater than critical value 7.815

    at 5% level of significance with degree of freedom 3.

    So the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is

    accepted.

    Inference

    So by the testing of hypothesis no. 3 we can say that feelings changes

    H4: All the asset allocation compositions are equally

    preferred by the investors.

    Based on this hypothesis question no (4) is developed to identify

    preferences about asset allocation categories. So I want to do chi-

    square test (Goodness of fit). Here total no. of sample is 40, so the

    expected no of investors in all the five compositions of asset allocation

    is 8.

    H0: Preferences remains same across the asset allocation categories.

    H1: Preferences change across the asset allocation categories.

    Here critical value of chi-square = 9.45 with 4 degree of freedom at 5%

    level of significance.

    Observed value = 19 with 4 degree of freedom.

    Since observed value of chi- square is greater than critical value 9.45

    at 5% level of significance with degree of freedom 4.

    So the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is

    accepted.

    Inference

    So by the testing of hypothesis no. 4 we can say that preferences

    change across asset allocation categories.
